RAFAEL r. MARTINEZ,
Industrial League Candidate for Con-
stable of Precinct No. l.

II there is any one man more than another
who should be preferred for the Office of con-
stable in San Antonio, that man is the one
whom the Industrial League of this city has
put forward AS its candidate for that Office.
X. X. MARTINEZ. Mr.. Martinez Is a native of
San Antonio. His family have long been resi-
dents OF the city and he Is personally known
to nearly every resident. His experience as
peace officer is such as to commend him to the
confidence of our citizens generally. As
deputy sheriff under General Knox and also
under Mccall he showed himself a brave, eff
the police force of this city for several years,
he has confirmed the good impression he ere
atcd as deputy sheriff. When the Sap
pingtOn negroes were assaulted on their
way home from the San Pedro springs
and one of them killed, officer Martinez fol
lowed the trail OF the murderers alone, during
the night, and locating their camp succeeded
the small pOX scare was in the city, he was the
only police officer who was willing to accept a
detail to do special duty in connection with
the guarantee then established. In the dis
charge of his duties as such officer he was
constantly exposed 10 infection and was very
generally given Il wide berth by other mem
bers of the police force. His unpleasant du-
ties he untiinchingly performed TO the entire
satisfaction of the city and in this, as In every
other position, has shown himself W rthy and
well qualified. His courage no one questions.
He is man of fine physique. Healthy strong,
capable of enduring great fatigue, patient,
persevcring honest, and every way fitted to
be the successor of the present incumbent
His election will place a good man in the Of
tice of constable for the first precinct; and
that election would only be fitting rccOgni-
ton of his past services, and a graceful ac-
knOwledgementlOf his services as the guardian
of the peoples health during the prevalence
of iOatlSOmp endemic,

A Wedding Feast.

Yesterday, the Rev. II. Pfefferkorn, of
the German Catholic church, united in
marriage Mr.. William Braden, son of our
worthy county commissioner, Edward
BradeD, to Miss Julia Schmidt. Both
the high contracting parties are well
and favorably known; hence comment
Is or would be a superfiuity. After the
ceremonies at the church the bridal
party, with host of invited guests,
assembled at the Braden home, a few
miles below the city, and grand recep-
tion was had. The tables 'groaned' under
the weight Of goodies, solid and fluid.
Mine host Braden had left nothing IN
done to make things comfortable for his
guests, and it seemed reluctant to many
of the visitors to take their departure.
The bridal couple at once repaired to
theii home near the third mission after
the reception. This morning the repre-
sentative Of the LIGHT was treated to a
twenty-mile drive, to inspect a new
bridge, built by order of the commits
sioner's court, across the Salado, some
eight or nine miles from the city. The
LIGHT and hosts of admiring friends
send sincere wishes Of ''bon voyage"
through life to the young couple.

THE NEGRO RACE.
Educational and Moral Advancement
Isaac Leonard Henson, a Worthy
Example.

The signs of the times as plainly seen, and
are favorable, which can be seen in the rapid
growth aud educational development of the
negroes while some of that race seem 10 be
careless as to their future, By neglecting to
educate their children there are Others among
them who evincc quite n different spirit In this
particular matter. There are also many of
them lsbOrng under the mistaken idea that
TO be able merely to read and write is educa-
ton; but there are those of that race who re
gard education in the higher sense of the
term, and believe in academic collegiate and
university training for their children, for Ger
tainly there is "A good percentage of that youth
which give evidence of high suscepti billty
and large capacity, aud rnDid development.
etc One OF the best specimens within the
scope of our observation Illustrative of the
facts before us. Is Isaac Leonard Henson, the
eldest son of Rev. Mack Henson of our city.
lsaaC's training has been carefully supcrin.
tended by his father, who began to instruct
him in books at the early age OF 1--WE and
half years old. His father being a Taxpayer
in Austin, he sent him TO the Central
Grammar school of that city for two
he was entered mt Wiley University, at Mar
shall, Texas; being accompanied by his father,
he left san Antonio for that city, on Sept.
9th, taking with him Miss Oracle Joseph, Il
regular student of his private school, taught
by him in the edifcc OfSt. Paul's NJ. T.. church
on South Centre street. The Wiley opened its
18th session, September 2Sth. After cEamina-
ton il was found that Isaac had completed
Reed and kclORR's graded English grammar
and had made considerable advance In Olncy's
Practical aud Mental Arithmetic, and Mon
teths comprehensive Geography. His pro
hciency in all of his studies entitled him to
enter the class in the third years preparatory
course to the Academies. He was the smallest
and youngest pupil In the school, being only
u years old. The Professor of the University
writes letter to the boys father that his
pupil shows remarkable progress in his
studies, and makes some very tatterinR pre-
dictiOns for his final success.

Too Much Drinkee.

A Mexican voter yesterday got hold
of wonderful mixture called punch,
which an accommodating bar-keeper
near the courthouse mixed up for him
and five minutes after he drank it, he
was in condition to fight the entire
United States army at the drop OF hat.
He Immediately began talking politics
and the first man who disagreed with
him was assaulted in the most approved
windmill fashion and after the crazy
drunken man had got through with him
he thought cyclone had struck MIN.
After FORMULATING up and down the
street for some time he was finally
coaxed away and escaped arrest.

Their Silver Wedding.

A pleasant gathering assembled last
night at the residence of Colonel and
Mrs. Elmer Otis, on Government hill, to
celebrate the silver wedding on the 18th
anniversary of their marriage. The re-
ception was held in the post hall, at
which many prominent citizens and
nearly all the officials were present.
Congratulations followed and then came
refreshments, then the celebrants were
happily danced into the race, it is hoped,
they will run for the golden wedding.
Many numerous presents were made
to the celebrants and on every side good
wishes were scattered freely around.

Schmidt's hall, on Austin street, the
Workmen social club is to meet again

Another Scoop.

W. II. Il. Murray, the celebrated Bos-
ton preacher, who was here few years
ago and who has many friends in the
city, was out shooting whilst on his
bridal tour and had the misfortune to
shoot of three Of his fingers. His injuries
are painful but not dangerous.
Apropos Of Murray's recent marriage,
1t is amusing to see our contemporaries
announce 1t a week after the account of
the ceremony appeared in the LIGHT,
and 1t would not be surprising to find
that those papers claimed to have
another scoop.

IDEAL BROILING.

Broiling can be done in the oven of the
Gauze Oven Door, more perfectly than over
the live Goals.
Lay the steak, chops, ham or fish on
wire broiler or meat rack, placing II in an
ordinary bake pan to catch the drippings.
Allow IL to remain i'm the oven with the
door closed Is or 20 minutes. No turning
is required. AT the end of this time it will
THIS is THE IDEAL WAY TO BRoIL MEATS.
There Is no faint of coal-gas or smoke,
and the meats are more tender and better i'm
flavor than those broiled over the Goals.
The convenience or broiling in the oven
will be appreciated by every house-keeper,
and adds another to the many reasons why
the Charter Oak Range or Stove with the
WIRE Ganze oven Door should be preferred
to all others now in the market.

SAKE REVISED.

The fall poet of the Austin Statesman
yets off the following skit, published
sundays issue. The paper still thriv,
md the poet still lives. Where, oh
where, are the seismic fires:
Rafting DER the roadbed,
Through the forest gay,
Goes the tariff engine,
On her mighty way.
Rambling through the tunnels,
Rushing DER the plain;
Oh but this is pleasant,
Travelling with Blaine.
New Orleans delighted,
Is the first to see,
San Antonio excited,
Makes a jubilee.
Tariff has invested
In 3 bran new dress;
Read the full description,
Special to Express.
Sometimes Independent,
Standing on the track,
Patronizing hybrids,
See them troOping back.
Editor Grice is bursting,
With flood of song,
Still the tariff engine
Plunges right along.
Tearing by the meadows.
Swimming DER the hills,
Dashing DER the bridges.
Skipping DER the rills.
Rambling through the tunnel,
Rushing DER the plain;
Oh but this is pleasant,
Travelling with Blaine.

We desire to caution our readers against
buying 'Cure-Alls" remedies, purpOrting to
cure AL the ills which flesh is heir TO-" and
10 purchase only such remedies as are reliable
specifics for certain classes of disease. For
would think of buying a cough medicine to
cure syphilis? Yet there are hundreds of
"nostrums" thrust upon us daily with such
claims. The manufacturers of Acker's Blood
thing, but positively guarantee 1t to cure all
diseases of the blood, such as syphilis, scrofu-
la, etc. The well-known and reliable firm of
Ragland & Co., No. East Commerce street,
San Antonio, Tex, are agents for the remedy.

The Burglars Remorse.

Four years ago some burglar robbed G. +.
Cotton of gold watch and some other jewel
ry. Yesterday the articles were returned TO
him. The motive for the restitution is not
conscience-stricken for his meanness in rob
bling poor newspaper man and has eascd
his remorse by restitution. Anyway Charlie is
skipping around like a wild goat, but he
wishes that the burglar had made that watch
work, for he never could, and all the watch
makers in San Antonio were unequal TO the
task This fact and not conscious may account
for the burglars remorse.

attended last night, and was a great success,
Nearly all the delegates and many prominent
citizens of both sexes were present, and all
tremendously fraternized together. As the

fully decorated hall to the delightful music
the scene was unique and pleasant. The com
mittees worked hard, and nothing was want
ing to make the gathering one OF the most sue
cessful ever held in the city. Mutual satisfac-
ton existed, and il was late before the dancers
separated and returned 10 their respective
