Claims of the Poor.

Editor san Antonio Light:
San Antonio has done much for the
poor. The object of the entertainment
at Literary hall, on Houston street, Mon
day night, was for the poor of the city.
There has been an evident spirit of eX-
otto growth or importation in our city
inclining to sheer or contempt for the
humble poor. A little aid or encourage
ment at certain junctures would often
nerve persons under the weather to dill
gence and renewed effort. Mental de-
preston from the sense of isolation and
from the realization of the heartlessness
of mankind, and the hollow mOckery of
religious profession, leaving poor, for
lOrn unfortunate of generous soul, to
perish unpitied, has in many an instance
led to suicide. 1t Is, doubtless, well
that neither the young, nor even the
aged as rule, know what has been
aptly termed 1.-THE depthe of satan" in
human nature on its darker phases when
1t shows its yiperousness.
There is something said, about Deal.
| ing thy bread to the hungry, and about
bringing the poor that are cast out, to
| thy house" There is whole river,
almost an ocean, of text on this line.
"There were also some that deyOured
widows houses, and for a pretense made
long prayers" 1t is well known that
these shylocks in churches are Just as
respectable nowadays as they were in
ancient times. They at times had their
little puppet setting of under the name
of some benevolent and devout and
praying association, soliciting contribu-
lions for religious benefactions, with the
announcement, mo one without money
dare enter these benevolent precincts"
1t isn't money that makes the man or
gives him q claim to generous sympa-
| thy. Aristides was poor, though vast
sums had passed through his hands; so
poor as to be buried at the
public expense. He was called
the just you know, and for
Ostraoism. This is modern danger TO
character of the same disinterested
magnanimity. HypOcrites and misers
and money-worshipper don't like men
OF noble impulses and humane and kind
principles. SANDER will be busy. l.y-
ing will twist and wind and crawl and
pour out his poison.
The poor are ever with us as tests of
what and who any of us are. They rep
resent one whom Christians profess to
honor. Is it for such to reject their Lord
| in act while protesting lip service? No
body is in favor of idleness or idlers: but
some are In favor of the word of revela-
| ton, which says: 'Inasmuch as We have
or have not done that and so, We have
received or rejected your Lord.
ANTI DECEPTION,
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1886-06-03

The death Of Colonel S. d. Jackman,
United States marshal for this district,
occurred at his home near Kyle on yes
terday evening. Colonel Jackman had
been in the enjoyment of his Office
thirteen months and half, and during
that time had shown himself brave,
trusty, efficient and thorou ghly honor
able public servant. He was native Of
Missouri, born there nearly sixty years
since, and took an active part on the
pro slavery side Of the border contest
which ragged between that state and the
free Kansas. When the war for the per-
petustion Of slavery was declared, he
cast in his lot with the cOnfederates and
was Of signal service to the cause of Sc
cession in his native state. As a con-
federate officer he was brave to rashness
and rose to the rank of brigadier before
the war closed. At the close Of HOSTILE
ties he settled in Hayes county, Texas,
and soon became known as an influen-
tial democratic politician, but not an
office-seeker. He was elected TO the
legislature in 1888. In 1885 he was made
United States marshal and filed that
office at the time Of his death. lie
leaves behind him two sons grown to
manhood and two daughters, one mar
ried. His death will be sincerely re-
GREETED in this state.

Expressed the opinion that there was
an urgent necessity for the organization
of this society. 1t was only Il few days
ago that the city press had given an ac-
count of the choking to death Of burrO
in the most shocking manner, and he
himself, had interfered in case where
two horses that were tied to a wagon
and were being dragged and Choked to
death. The people were opposed TO
cruelty to animals, and If they were in
formed of the objects and purposes of
this society they would join it at once.
The society was not gotten up for pur-
poses of gain-there was no sordidness
about il, but it was purely in the inter
est of humanity, and was meant to pro-
tect dumb animals against wantOn cru
elty.

TARLEToN AND PAsCHAL.
Remarks Of the Gentlemen at the
Meeting Last Night.

At the meeting Of the society for the
prevention OF cruelty to animals held
last night, MessrS. George Paschal and
Leo Tarleton addressed the audience in
substance as follows:
George Paschal Esq, fOrCibly and
tersely addressed the society upon the
necessity, that existed for the OrganiZa-
ton of Just such society TO prevent
cruelty TO dumb animals. The laws at
present on the statute book OF Texas
were grossly inadequate TO attain the
humane object, that the society had in
view in organizing, and while working
as far as it could, under the present de-
fective laws, to arrest cruelty to animals,
one principal purpose Of the society was
TO memorabilia the legislature to remedy
the shortcomings Of existing laws, so
as to render the laws adequate to the
suppression OF the evil at which human
ity. manhood and refinement stood
aghast. If cOld-blOOded ruilian should
now tie up horse and Kill 1t by with
holding food and water from IT, he
owned with emotion and profound
shame and humiliation, that according
10 the laws Of Texas he could not be
punished for his cruel starvation OF the
had created man had also created the
poor dumb beast. God had put them
under the dominion of man for the pur-
poses of protection, and not of cruelty
and abuse. This society appealed d.
rectly to that sense Of humanity and re-
finement that was inherent in the heart
of man. He had no fears that
it would arouse the smallest opposition
in any human breast in Texas. But this
initial society desired to pave the way to
the formation of auxiliary societies in
every town and county in the state, and
to bring to bear upon the next legsla-
ture such power as it could not deny
nor oppose. Mr.. Paschal spoke in
strong terms of condemnation OF the
cruel practice of shooting birds by the
sportsmen, recently assembled at San
Pedro springs, and also of the cock-pits
in San Antonio, and urged that the
human feelings of the people of the
state should demand the passage OF such
laws as would suppress these practices"

A Interview with u. A. Aitick, Who Has just
Returned From These strich en- South
erD Cities.
This morning Daniel A. Altick, Lancaster's
Woll-known carriage manufacturer, returned
from brief visit to Savannah and Charles
ton, the two Southern cities that have 80 SO
voreiy suffered from the recent EARTH
quake He describes the situation in Charles
ton ~ appalling, and says that one more
twist Of the earthquake would have put Sa
ynnnah in the same condition.
GAIL that has appeared in the newspapers
Cf startling character about Charleston does
not begin to approach the reality. It. in fact,
defies description. 1 spent several hours
there on Tuesday. You walk along the street
end ruins greet you ON every side. Nearly
ali OF the houses that have not fallen are
propped up by long planks resting in the
CUTTERS, some of the props being placed
aGninst the first and others against the second
stories Whole blocks are roped in, be-
cause they are impossible, and they are
bris from ruined buildings is distressing,
and An untold sum Of money will be needed
10 place the city in the same condition in
which it was prior to the earthquake
"AlOpg the Battery where the fine resi-
dences are, one may see the four walls of a
building missing and the house held together
BY Its partitions and a section of the root
Every onen space is tilled with tents and in
~ public parks the appearance is presented
Of an army in camp"
In Savannah, AT. AItick says, that while
the damage was not 30 great, the alarm was
of equal magnitude. At the Altick carriage
repository in that city vehicles were ratified
around like dancing dervishes, and the resi-
donce Of his son-in-law, Mr.. Gorham, was
cracked by the shock. Mr.. Altick concluded
by saying that he was glad TO get back to
Lancaster from the sad sights aud general
business paralysis that he had witnessed.

a Man Uuter Great ssentai Excitement Wanted
In ShOOt a Urshemau.

To shoot q brakeman.
Last evening az the colorcd Odd Fellows
were returning from their excursion To Col
umbia there was great excitement In one of
the cars caused by n W hite man named Ernest
Kopt who drew from his pocket two revoiN-
ers, and brandishing them recklessly threat
ened 10 shoot the brakeman. officer Pyle,
who was on the train, succeeded IN TAKING
the revolver away from him and did not ar
rest him. Kopf after he reached this city,
got into cab aud was driven around the
city. lie returned to the railroad station ana
went TO the ladies' room, where he made AN
assault on lady. who was waiting ior
train. officer Pyle, who was In
the baggage room, was summoned,
and he arrested kopt who was taken
before Alderman McConomy, who com
mitted, him TO the lookup for a hearing.
He was put in one OF the ordinary cells,
where he made so much noise in his efforts
TO GET out, that Ii was deemed best to put
him in an irou-clad cell. He had not been
long in the latter before he astonished the
officer ON duty 10y walking up stairs with the
lock and KEY of the ironclad in his possess
sion. How he got out is a mystery. He was
hand-cutied and tore from the wall an iron
bar, which was securely fastened through the
wall.
Dr. Stewart was summoned and he pre-
scribed for Kopf, but he refused 10 take any
medicine, and 1t required three men to hold
him while the fourth forced the medicine
into him.
Koprs mind became unbalanced through
the loss of a few hundred dollars, through q
business transaction. He was the endorser
of &. e. Shure, a Columbia saloon X eeper,
and was compelled to buy in the fur
niture at the sheriti's sale of Shure's
property. The arrangement made by
Kopf was that Mr.. Shure was to pay
a certain sum per month until the indebted
ness was paid. This arrangement was not
carried out and kopf would not take the ad'
vice of his counsel and issue a writ of re
plevin for the goods he bought and in con
sequence did not get any OF them. This loss
preyed on his mind and last night he became
violently insane. This morning he talked
nationally at times, but while talking or
one subject would suddenly begin talking
about something else.
Doctors Stewart and Roland examined hiu
this morning, pronounced him to be of un
sound miud, and signed a certificate to ths
effect He was taken to the county asylum
by Chief Smith and Officer Burns. He wa
| disposed To resist going. but he was tinall,
| induced to 20 to have a talk with DR.. Nc
Creary.
The physicians say that a few days rest a

his mind.
