One who has witnessed the new
process of refining and ripening
wines and liquors by the mse of
electricity, thus describes ihe oper-
alton in the Los Angeles Herald:
Two metallic plates were placed in
opposite sides of the cask OF tub,
one being wrapped in woollen
cloth. The electrical energy was
then sent through the liquid. and
in short time about two quarts
of peculiar matter had been at
tached 10 the WOODEN cloth and
was removed, and the liquor was
ripened as If it had matured foF
six years. The matter, on being
withdrawn, was fiery TO tae touch,
like blistering liniment, and the
change in the taste OF the eiectri-
fed liquor was radical. The same
process was tried on wines, AND
ripened them without destro, inc
their flavor. Grape brandy was
also purified and rip ued in the
same way.

The Good Old Times" and TheiT

A letter written in 1859 from
Ohio to England has been quoted
more or less lately to show the ex-

for beef, veal and pork; nine 10
twelve cents per pound fo- butter;
twelve and one-haif cents per
pound for chickens, aud 50 on; out
as there WAS very little cash circu-
lating then, even these prices were
comparatively high, farmers, own

wOMAN'S REFORMATION.

An illustration of the sudden ending of sud-
den reformations of women is furnished by
Theresa Sturla, who killed. her lover in Chi
cago, repented, said she would reform and,
by the assistance of strangers, escaped with a
sentence to two years in the penetentiary.
Now comes the information that she got drunk
in prison and brought keeper in trouble by
prevailing on him to allow her to escape ordin-
airy prison discipline. She says she has no
use for philanthropists, such as befriended
her during her trial. and refuses even to see
them. One wealthy woman offered to adopt
her as a daughter, have her thoroughly in
structed in music to develop her wonderful
voice, and then put her on the concert stage;
but Theresa declares that her beauty and
''notoriety are quite sufficient to make her for
tune as an actress, and she wouldn't bother
with studying music"

ENGLISH sNOBBERY AND swINDLERs
An Englishman's Favorable Comment on
the Light Article and on Kay-HOdges.


To the Editor of the Evening Light
SAN ANTONIO, January 10, lSS3.-Dcar Sir ::
As an Englishman, | am grateful to you for
your article ON English SnObbery and
Swindling," because ] believe that much YOU
say has good point, and may serve to put the
public on their guard against aristocratic i'm
posters. While America has the unrivalled
claim of producing the boss swindlers, there is
no doubt that the aristocratic swindler is gen
orally of European birth America opens her
arms freely to ali, and with the good citizens
come also the rOue, who has found it con-
venient to be absent from Mis- native land.
probably because if he did not the government
would find him board and lodgings in the near
est jail. These will not work and then the
aristocratiC Swindle is played i'm order that they
may gull their American victims. They assume
titles, use armOral bearings and monographs to
which they have no right, to support their
titles. They then play upon the credulity of
neighboring citizens as far as they can and then
move to other cities 10 carry on the same game.
In these days, when heradic works are widely
circulated, English and American newspapers
freely exchanged and the telegraphc dispatch
system extensively used it is incredible that
such impOsterS should be credited or believed
yet have seen the same sort of imposture sue
cessfully played for few days i'm English
country villages.
Now, sir, / may claim tor my countrymen
| that, as rule, they are honest and industrious
The educated, and what are termed the higher
born portion of them, are probably vain and
proud of their birth, if it connects them with
aristocratic and honorable families, but all are
alike honest in intent and join i'm condemning
| the impostor and swindler whoever he may be-
| And whyI We know that these things create
an unjust prejudice among the Americans
whose opinion we value and bring the country
we love into disrepute We know further that
| it has a tendency to injure those who, like my
self, have come here 10 win money, position and
| friends and we do not i'm any way tolerate or
cOuntenance the man, whatever his birth or
pretensOn may be, who is not honest i'm his
action towards his fellow men.
Your remarks have probably been Occl-
stoned by the disgraceful revelation in respect
TO II. W. Hodges or as he assumes to call him
self, without the right 10 10 so, II. w Kay
Hodges. In this case the mpOSter or swindler,
whichever yOu choose to call him, mas no

STATE LEGISLATURES.
A Bill Providing for the Closing of all
Places of Business ON Sunday,

greater condemnation than among his own
countrymemnOt because he has swindled them
but injured his .countrymcn, betrayed friends
and dsgfdced the membership he had in a
honorable body. As an Englshman. know
ing the feelings of my countrymen here, |
may say that while we can hold our heads
erect and appeal to our conduct TO show that
we are honorable and worthy of the respect
and cordially which we receive on all hands
from our American friends, still we cannot
but regret thatEyen our countryman should
act in such manner as to bring merited dis
grace upon himself, and give the evil disposed
which here are indeed few-an opportunity
of throwing u slur upon an Englshman.
All we ask is that our American friends
will Judge each by his action, and not allow
Hodges mad and dishonorable escapade to
interfere with the friendly and social relation
which, am glad to say exist on every. hand be-
tween the English and American residents.
In conclusion would observe the hyphen-
connected name has rarely, if ever, been used
by any of the sO-caled aristOcratic swinders,
because they well know that il does not prove
that he who bears il is necessarily an aristocrat
1t simply shows that the two families named
are represented by one individual and that he
who has first assumed has, or should have, the
for all that be aristocrat or plebian. Hodges
IN his ignorance, recognized the hyphen as Il
badge OF aristocracy, and to initiate Il country
man who was legally obliged to Use that form
OF surname, assumed the name OF Kay-H edges
without the right to do so.
Faithfully yours,
