The snobbery which leads American
girls to marry some dissolute and hank
rupt noble, for his title, is deserving
only of scorn and contempt. Such girls
generally discover, when too late, that
they played the fool. Miss Mackey is
the latest illustration of this silly adora-
tion Of titles.

UNDER the head OF "Yenal Legisla-
tlon," the Evening Record, Of Calves
ton, breaches sensible sermon In the
following sentences: "The proposition
to dispose Of the Alamo brought Temple
Houston to his feet yesterday In with
ering rebuke OF Its venallty. The state
that can afford to barter away Its name
and fame by trading on its traditions
and historic places has drifted long
way from the civic virtue In which its
free Institutions had their birth. There
Is not rood OF earth that has been dig
niiled by virtue, or illustrated by patriot
lsm-not red field on which man has
died for man that Is not holy ground.
The genius OF the place, the associations
which rise as holy incense, forever trav-
cling with the stars, have fired the
hearts and nerved the arms of liberty's
martyrs through all the ages. Who shall
say that Marathon, Thermopylae and
Pharsalia were not the inspirers OF
loftier and grander self-sacritlce Mt the
Alamo? Where would go the stored
splendors Of antiquity When the names
of Travis, Crockett and their Spartan
compatriots are no longer honorable
among men, when the very names of the
Alamo, Goliad and San Jaointo become
n Kissing and by-word, then, and not
till then, let this act Of vandalism be
contaminated"

that the San Antonio and Arkansas Pass
railroad will soon be living fact, it may
be well to call the attention of the people
OF San Antonio, as well as that of the
directors of the company, to few propo-
sitions worthy Of consideration; and in
these arguments it should be expressly
understood that the LIGHT does not APP
pear as the champion of either system
between broad and narrow gauge roads,
but simply produces the argument to
show what could be done If the proposed
line were established as Il narrow gauge.
The first object is to get the road, and
the next is to control as many of the
benefits 1t will bring Ms possible
1t is generally supposed that the pro.
posed road Is to be built for the good of
San Antonio as n community and not
for the especial benefit of n corporation
or individuals. If this is a correct con-
olus ion, 1t is proper to call attention to
the manner In which the greatest amount
OF benefit may be secured. 1t is thought
that by building n narrow guage road,
no t because it can be built and operated
oh .eaper, nor because a narrow guage
W i'll be able to do all the business re-
q uired for 20 years to come, but because

terests in San Antonio not to be secured

of a narrow guage will put the city in
and thereby with the Mexican National,
and secure through and almost direct

Hal l.. Gosling, on the train from Aus
tin on Saturday night, is one OF the I'M
looked for events which makes men stop
to question the theory Of fate, or the cir
oumstances OF life. One moment full of
manhood and vigorous life, the next a
lifeless lump Of clay. AS n gentleman,
citizen and officer, Hal Gosling had but
few equals. Courteous to fault, ohiv-
alrous beyond measure, and kind TO ex-
cess. but 1t makes the word mockery
when we think that 1t was his kindness
which encompassed his death. Had he
been less kind, had he possessed less
consideration for the feelings OF others
he would have denied the two red
handed murderers the companionship OF
their accomplices, and they would not
have had the opportunity to add to their
crimes by his unprovoked murder. His
record as an officer was one of faithful
discharge of duty, and that he died in
the discharge of that duty is the one
consolation of bereaved wife and dis
consulate relatives. Columns could be
written about him as man whom all
honored and respected. But the words
by lngersoll over another bier, seem to
be appropriate to him: "Yet after all,
1t may be best, just in the happiest, sun
niest hour Of all the voyage OF life, while
eager winds are kissing every sail, to
dash against the unseen rock, and in an
instant hear the pillows roar above a
sunken ship. For whether in mid-ocean
or among the breakers on the further
shore, n wreck must mark at last the
end of each and all, and every life, no
matter If its every hour is rich with love
and every moment jeweled with joy,
viii at its close become tragedy as sad
and deep and dark as as can be woven
Of the warp and wool of mystery and
death. This brave and tender man, in
every storm. was of oak and rock, but
in the sunshine he was vine and flower.
lie was the friend of all heroic souls. lie
loved the beautiful, and was with color,
form and music touched TO tears. lie
sided with the weak, and with n willing
hand gave aims with loyal heart, and
with the purest hands he discharged all
public trusts. lie added TO the sum oil
human joy, and were every one fol-
whom he did some loving kindness, tC
bring blossom to his grave, he would
sleep beneath Il wilderness of flowers
