The Bluest Of Blue Ribbons.

This is what is attached to the eight
pound fleece that was sold last night at
The German English school fir. 1t
weighed eight pounds and brought SO 80
pound at auction. Thus 1t will be
seen that wool is on the rise, and the
"bulls" hold the situation, in spite of
the growing "bears." The future for
the wool business should be all that the
most exacting of sheepmen could hope
for, and why not predict SO a pound for
spring wool If fall wool brings 50 so.

In the year 1869 the Bastile was built
In order to protect Charles V against the
incursiOns of the Burgundians. Among
the noted prisoners was the celebrated
young French physician, DIR. Mannette,
who was called from his home by hired
ruilians who represented that poor
woman was bleeding TO death but short
distance away. The young man kissed
his pretty wife, hastily picked up his
case of instruments and departed on his
errand of mercy. The unfortunate man
was thrown into lower dungeon of the
Bastile and never saw his loved one
again. lie was discovered by the mob
who had broken down the strong doors
and overcome the guards aud keepers of
this living tomb in the year l7S9. The
wrecked man had been imprisoned 90
years when found, and from young ac-
tive man had become II complete human
wreck. As his liberators burst open
he door of his dungeon, the poor man
cried piteously that they should not
murder him, and as they gathered
around him he continually begged them
TO 90 away that he wanted to be left
alone, that the light hurt his eyes. The
hOrried spectators noticed that the
walls were covered with vernin, and in
places red marks which on close scru-
fury proved to be blood A most hOrr-
Die stencil pervaded the place, and they
were hurrylng to get out when one of
them discovered some characters on the
dirt besotted walls. Holding a lantern
so that its rays reflected brightly on the
letters, they finally made OUT that Emer-
son sold goods cheaper than any other
man In San Antonio, und that Enerson's

The BLACK FLAG,
Mr.. Edwin Thorne and Company at Tur'
ner Opera House.

Tomorrow the English drama of the
Black Flag will be presented at the above
hall by Mr.. Edwin Thorne'ss specially
selected dramatic company. The drama
is one that appeals to the emotions of an
audience from the time that the curtain
rises until the denouement and satisfac-
tory conclusion Of the drama. The peou-
liar title is not owing to, as many people
imagine, the main episode of the play,
being connected with quarantine regula-
tions or piratical excursions. 1t hinges
chiefly on the escape of convict from
Portland prison, the chief English depot
for criminals who have been sentenced
to long terms of Imprisonment. As soon
as an escape is discovered n gun is fired
and black flag Is hoisted over the walls
oil. the prison notifying the inhabitants
of the district that an escaped criminal
ia in their midst. The plot of the drama
is exceptionally strong and the details
are worked out in a masterly manner by
that experienced playwright, Henry
Petit.
