Tells Some of His Experience in the Land
of God and Liberty.
Editor SAN ANTONIO LIGHT.
To those who anticipate visiting Mex
leo In search of health, would impart
what little information gathered dur
ing my trip:
First, | would say 70 the immigrant
that at present, Mexico is not in a very
healthy state to an American invader.
In justice to Mexico must say that while
there enjoyed the freedom OF an Amer
lean citizen freedom limited), my trip
was somewhat marred by being taken In
by the slick American and the Ignorant
class of MeXicans who seemed very anX-
ious to pull my gringo nose. Among the
many gentlemanly Mexican officials with
whom / came in contact, l mention the
name of Senior Don Valeriam Valdez,
the comandante at Piedras Negras. He
treated our party Loyalty, and had we
met him sooner than we did, we would
have Jared better; but as it was, we be-
came the victims of American skinners.
(This refers to the interior.)
Mexicois like unto a spoiled child, who
rebels against its indulgent parent, and
who grows holder as that parsonage
fails to notice 1t, and If Mexico Is not
taught to respect America, our citizens
will not be safe beyond the frontier,
and even there they will have to be on
the alert.
Such was my experience while there,
hence my return to this side.

THE REWARD OF GENIUS.
How "Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight
Was Written and Published.

How "Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight
Was Written and Published.
Many Of the readers Of the LIGHT have
read and admired that beautiful poem
"Curfew must not ring tonight" and
some few have made the acquaintance
of its esteemed authoress, Mrs. Rosa
Hartwick Thorpe, whilst she resided in
the Alamo city. To all Of these it will
be interesting to learn how, when, and
under what circumstances the gem of
poesy was written.
In 1867 Rosa Hartwiok was a seven
teen-year-old school girl residing with
her parents at LitChtield, Michigan.
She read, at that time, a historic story
entitled Love and Loyalty" and its
romantic incidentswere firmly i'm
pressed upon her mind. She had never
made any attempt at poetry, and now
tried merely as literary exercise,
never dreaming that she had the ability
to write anything that would be worthy
of publication or that would attract
attention. In her attempt she had to
overcome one great obstacle that was
her fathers objection. He watched over
her education and he had no apprecia-
ton of poetry. Taking her arithmetic
in one hand and slate in the other, she
sat quietly In the corner, and while her
prosaic father supposed she was study
ing mathematics, she wrote the first
draft of her poem upon her slate. This
she altered and amended until she
brought Ii to its present firm and then
sdmiring the poem, she surreptiously
copied it upon writing paper. Half In
jest and half in pride, she sent the poem
TO the editor of the Commercial Adver-
tiser of Detroit, giving her name in con-
fidence, but requesting 1t should be pub
lished anonymously. That gentleman
had the good sense to see the beauties.
He published the poem and wrote the
young authoress q complimentary letter
Of praise and encouragement. The poem
was copied in the papers from
one end Of the union to the other
and was the theme Of general praise.
Even her father read Il in his paper
aloud in the family circle, praislDg Is
without knowing that it emaDated from
his daughters brain. Its popularity in
creased as it was known, and like
Beautiful Snow" its authorship was
for q long time . mystery. Some
meritrcious writer's tried to claim Ii,
whilst the newspapers endeavOred to fix
its authorship on certain poets. Mrs.
Thorpe's claim to the poem has long
been admitted by the literary world.
such Is the popularity Of Curfew must
not ring tonight" that it is included In
all good literary selections, and 1t has
been translated into many tongues. yet
strange to say, Mrs. Thorpe never real
lied a cent by the poem. Glory has been
her only reward.
Mrs. Thorpe has since written many
poems, and while these show a full
sense of poesy, none Of them equal In in

He is Quite Right.

A short time ago certain citizen was
notified to have his privy cleaned, and
he informed the sanitary inspector that
he would see him in "a land that Is hot
ter than this" before he would do 1t.
After courteously but vainly endeavor-
ing to persuade the man to obey the
order, the sanitary inspector brought
the citizen before the recorder, he was
fined, and then he had the privy cleaned.
Now the citizen is running after the city
physician to get him to endorse an ap-
plication for the remission Of the fine,
but DR.. Braunnagel will not do 1t. He
says that he is determined to enforce
sanitation as far as lies In his power, and
where citizens oppose IL in a csptious
and insulting way, he will use all means
to have the city ordinances carried out.
The city physician is quite right IN the
resolution.

THE FIRE FIEND.
A Small Residence and Big Wholesale
Fruit Store Burned.

A Small Residence and a Big Wholesale
Fruit Store Burned.
At 1890 o'clock last night the clerk
at the Maverick hotel, on Houston street
discovered fire in G. NJ. Aiken's fruit
store, in the old Alamo Literary hall,
Just opposite. The fire seemed to burst
forth simultaneously from every part OF
the building, and had it not been for the
prompt manner in which the clerk of
the hotel gave telephone alarm, and
the readiness Of Fire company No. 2 In
responding. the adjacent meat market
and Bradley & Groesbeeck's building
would have been entirely consumed.
As IL was, both escaped narrowly. MIR.
Aiken had but recently moved into this
building from Soledad street, and his
large stock Of fruits, CONNECTIONS, cigars,
ETC., was entirely consumed. The build
ing, which Is owned by the estate OF the
late j. II. Kampmann, Is greatly dam
aged.
Mr.. Aiken's stock was only about one
half insured, but the amount could not
be ascertained. The building carried no
insurance and Is damaged great deal,
though the walls are not much hurt.
The fire seems to have been incendiary
rs 1t burst forth almost simultaneously.
Three explosions were heard, occurring
closely together just before the breaking
out Of the fire. IL is stated by some one
who was in the butcher shop next door
that about 10 o'clock he heard some
movement in the building, but suppos-
ing ii was some one connected with the
store, paid no heed to 1t.
In the afternoon about $3.50 o'clock the
department was called out by an alarm
Of fnfn fal a M I'm
some hundred yards due west Of Alder
man French's house, on the hill to the
west of the San Pedro springs. The
building was entirely consumed with its
contents. The fire engines could rem
der no assistance, owing to there being
no available water anywhere in the vi
cinity. The house was owned by a
blacksmith named Charles Richter, who
works in a shop on South Alamo street.
The family was away from home at the
time.

A festival for the benefit of the Metho-

There is as yet no change in the beer
war, the citizens are anxiously waiting
for the Lone Star people to send in

THE DALLAS FAIRS.
A Full Insight Into Their Management
and the Exhibitors Names.

A Full Insight Into Their Management
and the Exhibitors Names
X. X. Claridge, OF the Stockman, at
the request of few friends among the
live stock breeders OF this section, went
over to DslLSs last week to determine, II
possible, which OF the rival fairs in that
city il the most entitled to the stock
which they desire to exhibit this fall.
He says that the feeling between the
partisans of the fairs is very warm, and
that, az there are good men and big
money behind them both, there will
probably be two good fairs. He reports
in favor of the Dallas State fair and eX-
position because they have the best
grounds, are putting on the best i'm
provements, and because the directory
Of this fair personally guarantee the pay
ment Of premiums, and are good for the
guarantee. The grand exhibit OF the
williamson County Live Stock and Sale
association will go to this fair. Among
those from the San Antonio region who
will probably make an exhibit are: DR..
q. B. johnson. Bexar county, Hereford
cattle; Major j. w. Eckles, Bexsr ooun-
ty. shorthorn cattle; A. Real, Bexar
county, Norman horses; j. G. McFar-
land, Kendall county, Angora goats; j.
p. Devine, Bexar, Angors goats; Jos. X:
Harris, Gallagher ranch, Polled Angus
cattle; Fink 81 Co., Bexar county, Here
