A RIDE through the streets OF the Ala
mo city will convince the most skeptical
OF two things concerning our streets.
First, that no more uncomfortable streets
to drive over were ever found In any
city of Its size and age since Solomon
paved the streets OF Old Jerusalem:
second, that more good work is being
done upon the streets this summer than
has ever before been undertaken. The
new appropriation Of $4,000 will do
something towards repairing our streets,
but 1t seems to the LIGHT a very poor
way OF managing, to divide this money
into parcels and dole it out to each ward
as mother would quarter an apple.
This city should have a board Of public
works." to whom, and not to the ward
aldermen, should be committed the
business of street improvements and
their decision in all matters of that
kind should be final. This board might
very adyantageously be constituted by
electing four aldermen at large, one
from each ward, TO be such board or COM
mittee Of public works, By this means
the clashing Of interests and trading Of
political favors between aldermen would
be divided; a general view of the clty's
needs, and a systematized method Of i'm
proving the streets would then be posi-
BILE. Work could be begun from some
central point, and carried out in &C

Our Worst Enemies,

Next TO our vices, are our fOllies. Among
them is the imperilling of future bodily com
fort, and the average tenure of life to which
persons OF moderately good constitutions are
presumably entitled, by imprudence in eating
and drinking and the reckless use of drugs.
II is one of the happy capabilities Of Hostel

Startle its pOssessOr A course of the bittcrs,

A LOOK over the city generally will
show those who complain Of dull times
that in the aggregate there is very
considerable amount of building under
way. Scarcely street In which some
thing is not being done. Most of these
are dwellings of moderate dimensions,
but there are few buildings of quite
imposing character that will, when
completed, add to the appearance OF our
residence streets. There are more signs
of healthy activity in the city than have
been observable for some time. Only
let the matter Of northwest extension
be definitely settled in favor OF that pro-
ject and all building enterprises and
business projects Of all kinds will receive
an impetus that they have not felt for
years. San Antonio is in very healthy
state of business expectancy. Let her
people put their shoulders to the load
now and boost this railway project over
the grade and she will find a creased
incline over which the wheels of her
property will roll smoothly for years TO
come.

cordance with some general plan that
would give us uniformity Of construc-
tion. Each year could thus see definite
progress made toward some defined end,
and city Improvement would stand for
something tangible. Tax payers would
see results and money would be voted
cheerfully. 1t is not so much the pay
ment Of money rs it is the payment OF
that money foolishly that the people
object TO.
FRANCE is brushing up her military
accoutrements. All her colonies absent
on leave have been recalled. General
Degealis, appointed military attsche OF
the French embassy at Vienna for the
purpose OF studying the cavalry tactics
Of Austria, has been recalled and will re-
sumo command of the troops in the
Vosges. The reason of these movements
is only matter Of conjecture. France
has never forgotten her humiliation at
the hands Of Germany and would gladly
embrace any favorable opportunity for
reprisals. The more reasonable prOba-
bility, however, is that this movement
is made to forestall any attempt at revo-
luton by q descent OF the French prin-
ces upon the border. Germany may
follow the course Of military change in
France with ever 30 watohful an eye,
but at present will find the republic
more concerned about her internal tran
guilty than about aggressive move
ments abroad.

a Centrslis dl.) special says: A
few DAYS ago, while an old gray-haired
man vas sitting in one Of our hotels
stranger got off train which had Just
arrived and passed through the waiting
room. He eyed the old man closely,
and over the face Of the latter there
flashed a look of recognition.
Pardon me-" said the stranger,
. your face has familiar look to me,
yet cannot place you! Perhaps I'm
mistaken"
ooh no. answered the elderly gen.
tleman, Z" know you are not mistaken.
| know you like book"
"Indeed :"
"Y Yes, sir. You used to board with
me-"
As it possible ?" said the stranger.
"Yes, sir and you left without pay
ing your board"
"That, sir, cannot be-" said the
newcomer, very much confused.
"Oh, but it can. | say you left
without paying your board, and you
left in the night
BY this time the stranger was fu-
Iious. lie grew red with anger, and
intimated that only the gray hairs Of
the tormentor saved him from violent
treatment.
- You need not get mad" said the
old man coolly, and enjoying immensely
the strangers discontinue. - You
did all these things, and left your bag
gage behind you"
See here, old man, who in - are
you any way, and where are you
from"
~ am, sir, Captain --, and you
are Quartermaster Murphy, and you
escaped from the prison at Libby while
| was commissary Of that institution"
my God :" was the strangers
ejaculation, as he warmly clasped the
hand of the old ex-rebel. Are you
indeed the old commissary? Well,
you are right. ] did board with you;
and I gave you the slip, too" he con-
tinued, laughing.
Qurtermaster Murphy belonged to
New York regiment and was captured
and sent to Libby. 1t was the practice
Of the rebels to allow those persons
who were practitioners of medicine to
attend the sick in the prison-hospital.
They were allowed the freedom of the
grounds to 60 and come at will. One
day a green sentry would not allow the
men to pass, when he was sharply re-
primanded by Captain Gibbs, aud
told that those men who wore
red ribbons on their coat-lapels
0hiS was the insignia of the doctorsl
should pass unmolested. Murphy over
heard this and prOiited by it. In the
inside Of his vest he had some red fan
mel, and, tearing off strip, he pinned
it to his coat, and, watching his oppOr-
tunity, he got past the guard and reached
the Union lines in safety.
The meeting described herein is the
first since those days when, as captor
and captive, they dwelt within the
walls Of the famous southern prison.

QUEER PEOPLE.

The Bake, The Barber, the Ton Of Coal, and
the Tramps.
[Chicago Tribune.l
The barber's shop was next door to
the bakers shop, and the baker had
just gotten a ton of coal. The coal had
been dumped on the sidewalk, and,
after the fashion Of coal-men, much
nearer to the BARRIERS door than to that
of the baker, to whom it belonged.
The barber had just gotten the lather
on a customer when one Of the genus
tramp came in.
Put in yer coal, mlster:,.'
mo" said the barber pleasantly ;
ono, my friend, that's not my coal, you
know"
The tramp had hardly disappeared
round the corner, when another opened
the door.
Put yer coal in fur ye, mister"
NO" said the barber a little
sharply; I" the GOALS not mine, | say"
They kept coming, and seven ofthem
appeared IN twenty minutes, ana 10 the
eighth man the barber is alleged to have
said: "Git The --- coal
amt mine"
Now, see here" said the shavee,
" there amt no use in gittin mad over
it. Just put up sign sayin', This
coal amt mine That's all We need"
"Say, you've got great head" said
the barber, and in few moments he
had the sign stuck on the top Of the
heap of coal. = Reckon that'll fix it,"
he remarked.
The door opened, and tall man with
a shovel looked in. /" Say, mister, did
you put that ere sign up, or did the
other feller?"
Then the barber closed his shop and
went out and got drunk-with malice
aforethought.
lie had only one remark to make
when Justice Mech fined him IS.
"Mister judge" he said, "can't ]
make that baker pay me fine?"

House Committees organizing.

WASHINGTON, January ll.-Seve-
raj of the committees of the House met
and organized this morning, but with
the exception of the Committee on
Election OF President and Vice-Presl-
dent, transacted no business of impor-
lance. The Committee on Election OF
President and Vice-President met and
referred to subcommittee for its con-
sideration the Hoar bill as adopted by the
Senate. The chairman was authorized
to summon the members of the commit
tee at any time to consider the report
of the subcommittee. Mr.. Caldwell
and other members Of the sub-commit-
tee are already engaged in the consider
alton of the Hoar bill and hope to be
able to make a report tomorrow morn
ing-in which event the measure may
be brought before the House later in
the day.
The Committee on Invalid Pensions
was confronted with about 1000 bills
that had already been referred to it.
The Committee on War Claims also
had several mail-sacks full of measures
awaiting action.

the whole inclined plane to be swept
by . fire Of musketry, and offering at
the same time perfect shelter for the re-
serves behind.
In the centre the Bulgarians occupied
the eastern side of that depression,
which toward Aldemiroftze became a
rayine with sleeper sides, with a brook
let in the middle. while an insignificant
number Of Servian skirmishers kept up
On Indifferent fire from the opposite
border. Later on, however, it became
evident that their main force lay con-

with brushwood of an autumnal reddish
hue. such as one meets with all over
the Balkan peninsula, where the goats,
serving rs substitutes for the foresters,
take care Of the young trees in their

Bulgarians had its support in the vii.

along the prolongation Of the Sliynitzs
hills toward the Bresnik range, kept
thus the communication open with sepa-
