New YoRK, May 5.-The ladies Of the
Literary Society Of the Madison Avenue
Congregational Church listened last even
ing in the church lecture room TO de-
scriptien by Mrs. John 2. Newman, the
wife of the clergyman, of her visit TO the
harem of the Pasha of Hillah, Babylon.
Mrs. Newman's visit was made ten years
ago when she was travelling with her hus-
band, who was not permitted to accompany
her into the interior OF the harem.

rem. II was furnished with gorgeous tap
estry hangings and sumptuous satin furni-
ture OF curious design. The curtained
windows looked out upon blooming gar
dens. Ranged about the chamber in vari-
Gus attitudes were a score OF women.
Some were seated on diyans and others
were kneeling. Thirteen OF them were the
wives of the PaSha. A cloud of negro ser.

were at home on the subject of dress, which
has a universal language OF its own among
women.
All the women
had large, long lashed and luStrious eyes,
and dark, finely chiselled features. Their
costumes were magnificent and strangely
fashioned OF rich salins and loaded with
ornaments of gold and jewels and garlands
of pearls. Their head-dreSses were OF
silken gsuze, held by bands of gold and sur
mounted by graceful ostrich feathers.
They wore silk trousers and silver slippers,
and their finger nails were tinged with
yellow. To an elderly lady, very queenly
in her movements, implicit confidence was
yielded by the others, The air OF the spart-
ment was heavy with the perfume OF san
dal wood. A crowd Of cOlored servants
brought in cigarettes and sweetmeats and
coffee. a.d of these delicacies was pressed
to partake.

New YORK State has adopted new code
of medical ethics leaving the matter Of con-
sultation to the discretion, the honesty and
the humanity of practitioners, thus enabling
allopathists and homeopathists to work in
harmony and tending to an abolition of spe-
cifc rules for professional etiquette, while still
retaining authorizations of procedure against
conduct plainly unworthy physician or a
gentleman. The action is of interest to San
Antonio, as homeopathy has become the faith
in hundreds of families in this city. The
sold doctors" are numerically in the majority
here but when further enlightened respecting
homeopathy they will doubtless acquire more
liberal views of their professional brethren OF
opposite schools.

A FEW years ago some English sparows
were imported and placed in the parks in New
York city. Watchmen were employed to
prevent this I" infant industry" from meeting
with any mishap from the night-raiding owl,
and the newspapers often contained items of
thrilling interest about the little English spar
row, and his virtues were extolled as a bug
and grub eater How the little bird increased
Now he swarms all the cities of the East and
West, and recently a meeting of horticul-
turists considered it necessary to have some
Legislation to destroy the English sparrow, it
being asserted that, as bug hunter, he was a
fraud and that he had destroyed half the fruit
crop OF New England and had driven out the
native birds that were useful to the farmer, and
that his tremendous increase threatens danger
to the agriculture and horticulture of the entire
country. This little bird is not at all pretty
he has an unpleasant, petulent chirp; has a
dirty-brown color is not in any way as pretty
as our common sparrow, and is so quarrelsome
and numerous that no other bird can live in
peace where he holds forth. Let the Texas
Legislature forbid imPOrtations of the English
sparrow under a severe penalty and protect all
other birds.

THE propriety OF spending $4,000 more
for improving the streets in the way the work
was begun some time ago is, to say the least,
questionable. 1t has been clearly shown that
streets have been incorrectly laid out and that
much confusion has already resulted from the
work. Before spending any large sum o
money on the streets the City Council should
see that they are correctly established. The
LIGHT is not opposed to making improve
ments-its past conduct is sufficient indica-
ton of this-but it is opposed to any move to
waste the peoples money. Let us make a
correct plan of the city and correctly deter
mine all boundary lines before further dimin-
ishing our nearly depleted public exchequer.

SEVEN burglaries were reported by the
newspapers Yesterday as having occurred the
night previous. How many more there were
can only be conjectured, as the police en-
deavor to keep secret any news of this kind.
But of one thing all may be sure: The city is
infested with burglars and footpads. To get
rid of them we must secure more ethclent
police force and place more public lamps in
the streets.

A SUBSCRIBER informs the LIGHT that dur

several persons went to fire department head
quarters to secure the assistance of
the department but could find no
fremen. This is but one of many
facts which indicate that it is obviously
the duty of the city government to reorgan-
ize the department and establish it on basis
equal to that of other cities equal in size to
San Antonio. We are far behind the times
in many things and our fire department is one
of them. The cause does not lie with the
members of the department, but with the
city's law makers.
