lnfnence Of Sunshine on Sleen.

Seepless people-and they are many in
America-should court the sun. The very
worst sopori6c is laudanum and the very best
sunshine. Therefore it is very plain that poor
sleepers should pass as many hours as posi-
BILE in the sunshine, and as lew as possible in
the shade. Many women are martyrs, and
shine out of heir houses and their hearts,
they wear wells, they carry parasols, the do all
possible 70 keep off the subtest and yet most
potent influence which is intended to give
them strength and beauty and cheerfulness.
Is it not time TO change this and so get color
and roses in their pale cheeks, strength in their
weak backs, and courage in their timid souls
The women Of America are pale and delicate;
they may be blooming and strong; and the
sunlight will be a potent influence in this
transformation.

Board Of Aldermen have show1 a true appre-
citation Of the policy in their unanimous APP
proval Of the proposition, and they should
have the hearty cooperation OF every good
citizen Of San Antonio.
THE dissension among the protesting Chris
tians Of the Baptist church here furnishes the
subject for the following article in the Seguin
Times: "Christians, like other citizens OF
the world, have passions which cannot always
be controlled, and II 10 their frailiy they do
sometimes depart from the law Of love and
peace as given them by the meek and lowly
Jesus they should not be judged too harshly,
nor should the religion professed be con-
demned for the derelctions of its professors.
1t is hard matter, however, for the world TO
view Christianity apart from its professors.
Seeing only the faults OF Christians, ii is
prone to condemn the doctrine as not bringing
forth the fruit it should; or, acknowledging the
beauty Of Christianity, it enters into whole
sale condemnation Of its professors, stigma
thing them, at least by inuendo, as hypocrites.
The world is by far too censorious, yet it has
a right to sit in judgment on the conduc, Of
Christians. The Master himself has said,
BY their fruits ye shall know them, and II
his followers do not show forth the fruits OF
the Spirit, which ore love, joy, peace, long
suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meek
ness and temperance the world has right
to condemn them. Those who, making all
due allowances for human frailty, fall short Of
this high standard Of christianity, come justly
under the eensure Of the world as protesting
that which they do not practice While nom
inal professors may suffer, christianity is ben
Gifted by this censure Of the world. 1t makes
the few true followers Of Christ stand out in
bold relief. By the life Of these lew the
reality and Practicability Of christianity are
demonstrated"

The proposition to exPend S25o 900 in the
improvement Of the streets and sewers has
met with but little opposition in the city, and
the more it is discussed the more favor it will
meet with at the hands of the public. San

and has assumed the proportions and res
possibilities Of a city, and reached the point
where its natural advantages have left off
The proposed improvements are needed and

SPEAKING Of the arrest at Kansas City, the
other day, Of Charlie Ford, the slayer Of Jesse
James, for completely in an old train robbery,
the Pittsburg Traveller says; "In this can be
discerued a determination on the part of the
authorities to rid the west of the outlaw ele-
ment that has so long acted as clog in the
progress OF civilization and prosperity in the
fertile country that lies towards the setting
sun. The move is good one. When 100
of the more prominent dime novel heroes
have been legally strangled there will be
fewer murders and ynchings to leave trail
of blood and outrage in the wake of the pio-
neers who are opening up the wealth of pre-
viously unknown territory for the benefit of
the country at large"

away to get his tea, and no more was

Decided after Forty.ilye Years.

There came for trial before Judge
Ludlow yesterday a suit that was brought
over forty-five years ago, and in the
early period of its history engaged the
attention of some of the greater lights of
the Philadelphia bar. The facts of the
case briefly stated, are these: In 1887 the
firm of Warwick & Claggett being in
debted to jackson. Riddle & Co., the
latter laid an attachment upon 500
shares of the stock of the old Girard
bank, standing in the name of the
debtors. The bank fled as an answer
"nulla bona" that they had not the
property In their possession. From that
time to 1878 the matter slept, when on
October 20, 1878, the Girard bank set
tied with the heirs of Warwick by
paying his administrator $1O,6S0 81.
This payment attracted the attention
OF the creditor of Jackson, Riddle & Co.,
who had failed many years ago, and the
assignee for the benefit of creditors, re-
newed the old suit, brought in 1887,
claiming that the value of the stock with
accrued dividends in the hands of the
Girard National bank amoGnted to $685.
ZIG 25, and that they were entitled to
this sum. It was to try the question
whether the bank did owe Warwick s.
Claggett this sum that the suit of yester-
day determed. Nearly all of the testi-
mony yesterday was OF documentary
character, including court dockets, divi-
dend books of the bank, etc. The de-
fence of the bank yesterday consisted of
various offers to show that which would
presumptlyely prove the probability of a
settlement or abandonment of the case;
that there was presumptive evidence
among the old records that two English
bankers had attached ard taken War
wicks stock. These offers Judge Lud-
low ruled out on several distinct grounds
and as counsel did not desire to make
speeches, the case went to the jury on
the charge of the Judge. The jury in
few moments rendered verdict for the
plaintiffs for upward of $4,000. Ques-
tions of law arising out of the doctrine
OF presum ptions of abandonment, the
judge reserved for the consideration of
the court in banc.-I Philadelphia Ledg-
