calling her soft little thing, telling
him how she adored the subscriber,
aud how the subscriber cared moth

glorious Irritation. OF course the
subscriber was Frederick Pugh.
"This note-which was most in
sulting thing to any woman--we con-
trived to have dropped where Miss
Pearl would find it; and the result
was even more jolly than we had an

day, and refused to listen to any ex-

felt dreadfully about it,"
Sherman waited to hear no more
In his present frame of mind he felt
as if he could not bear it. He went
home and shut himself up in his
chamber. After all, Fred had been
true. How bitterly he had been
wronged: Pearl would repent, and
love him more than ever, if she knew
the injustice she had done him That
was woman's nature. She atones for
wrong by giving love.
William felt sick and faint. He
saw his duty clearly enough; but it
is not always easy to do ones duty.
There was little struggle between
his heart and his conscience.
A hundred times the temptation
beset him to keep his knowledge to
himself and win Pearl for his own.
She would never know that Fred was
blameless, and his great love might
make her so happy At last he knelt
down and prayed over it.
He always prayed over those things
which were too hard for him. After
that he rose, and there was no more
hesitation. If he could make Pearl
happy, what mattered it to him how
it was accomplished?
| He went down to the sitting-room
about sunset. He knew he would
find Pearl there.
Mrs. Sherman was away at evening
service. Pearl was busy making
blue satin hallmark for William by
a shaded lamp. She did not like the
glare of the gas.
There was a rich color on her
cheek, over which the loose hair
dropped low.
William Sherman's heart leaped at
sight of her; but he stilled it, and
took seat beside her.
"Pearl," he said, ~ am an old
friend, and think you will not be
offended if I ask you fewquestions.
Not because 1 am in the least curious,
but because 1 desire your good more

She looked up in wonderment-
noticing the strange unsteadiness of
his voice, and the tremor of the hand
he laid on hers.

Though having his manuscript on the desk
before him Mr.. Daniel referred to it but once
or twice during the course of his grafton. He
spoke in an easy manner, his voice being
finely modulated to suit the meaning of his
sentences, and his speech was accumulated
and emphasized by graceful gestures. Many
times was he interrupted by rounds of ap-
plause elected by his clean cut and well
balanced periods, and by his eloquent style
of uttering them. AS he closed Senator Ed

The Madison Square Church.

Yesterday this beautiful church was
opened Tor regular preaching. after the
vacation caused by the resignation of
the Rev. W. II. buchanan: The altar was
beautifully decorated with fresh fragrant
flowers, which served to make the al
ready beautiful interior more attractive.
The occasion WAS the installation of the
Rev. DR.. T.. G. Scudder, as the regular
pastor Of the congregation. lie chose
for his text the 9Th and sth verses of the
first book Of JCshwa.
The sermon was one of great interest,
and the Doctor was listened to with close
attention to the end, by the large con-
gregatiOu present. Mr.. Scudder and
family have established their home In
san Antonio, and will not only prove an
addition to the Madison Square church
society, but to the city as well. AS a
preacher he is eloquent and logical. AS
n minister and gentleman he Is kind,
pleasant and industrious. and the LIGHT
predicts for him many years of useful
ness and labor In our midst.
The volunteer choir for the occasion,
Misses Fisher and Groos, Messrs.
BOetler and Arnold with Pro
fessOr kreutzner at the organ,
rendered most beautiful music on the
occasion, and il can be said that in ru-
ture the Madison Square will oneI

On Saturday evening light occurred
at the Central hotel between Colonel
Baker, the proprietor of that establish
ment, and a plumber named Jonathan
Bowman. Bowman went to Colonel
Baker to collect n bill which Baker felt
no inclination TO pay. A little alteration
ensued and Baker called Bowman liar
Bowman did not reply, hut made note
in his pocket book concerning the non
payment of the bill. While doing so
Baker raised his stick and hit Bowman
heavy blow on the head; rs Bowman
saw the stick descending he broke the
force of the blow by raising his arm.
His ear was cut open and he bled pro-
fusely. and 1t was found necessary to
lance the arm. Bowman did not attempt
to retaliate. and an affidavit was made
against Baker for beating and striking
Bowman, and the ease was continued
until tomorrow.

Cay Picnic.

a delightful time was spent by n
small picnic party yesterday near the
Second mission below the city, in one of
the beautiful groves along the river.
The party left the city in n large picnic
wagon, drawn by four mules, with an
express wagon as escort, carrying the
luncheon, Lone Star beer and materials
for lemonade. The Italian musicians
occupied the seat of honor In the wagon.
Arrived at the grove after getting the
party together, the day was given up to
the innocent enjoyment customary with
pic-nickers, and dancing occupied a
prominent feature of the days amuse-
ment. A return to town was made
about the time the red sun was setting
in the western horizon. Among those
who attended were Mrs. A, Bruni,

In the year 1869 the Bastlle was built
In order to protect Charles V against the
incursions of the Burgundians. Among
the noted prisoners was the celebrated
young French physician, DR.. Mannette,
who was called from his home by hired
rulllans 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 and keepers of
this living tomb In the year 1850. Tie
wrecked man had been imprisoned 81
years when found, and from young nc-
tive man had b. come n 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 rs they gathered
around him he continually begged them
10 20 away that he wanted to be left
alone, that the light hurt his eyes. The
Mortified spectators noticed that the
walls were covered with vermin, and IN
places red marks which on close scru-
fury proved to be blood. A most hOrr-
bic stencil peryadod the place. and they
were hurrying 10 get out when one Of
them discovered some characters on the
dirt besOtted walls. Holding n 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, and that Emerson's

The Courts.

On Saturday evening the Probate
court ordered the executor in the estate
of Henry Wagner to file inventory and
appraisement forthwith. and bond of
$4,000 was required, Thursday, the LIST
proxlmo, being the time given to file
such.
In the estate OF Louis Chess, minor,
j. Fred Chess was appointed guardian,
the bond being fixed at $1,000. This
morning the court transacted no busi-
ness.
In the District court the land suit of
Alexander VS.. Carothers, still blocks the
way.
The case Of Ignacia CorteZ, whose
examination under an application for II
writ of habeas corpus was to have taken
place to-day, was not heard, but will be
taken up Immediately after the above
mentioned suit is concluded, which will
probably be to-day.
