JOE MENEY.

A young man, born and reared in old
San Antonio, and known by old and young
so well that the town would seem strange
without him, is the gentleman whose name
heads this notice. He may generally be
found at his PaTlOr Bar on SOledad street,
next door to the Kampman building, al
though some time he spends at home in his
family circle, and also he may be found in
the city council chamber, where he holds
down an aldermancy from the fourth ward,
having had this honor recently conferred
IpOn him, being the youngest member in the
city council. When at his bar Joe will en-
deayOr TO show you his fine stock of liquors.,
cigars and tObaccOs, several kinds of fine
beer and the pOiteSt attention. OF the lat
ter article he always has full stock, as has
also his popular mixer, Thavanat, and at
the lunch counter, Frank Money, who is a
good deal like Joe himself. Every morning
fine free lunch is set out at this bar and the
popularity of JOe'S saloon can then be seen
at its best. Call on him and get your hOli-
day wines and liquors.

YOUNG'S LAW AND LAND OFFICE.

This firm, Messrs. ii. +. IL w. ii. Young,
having nothing young" about them outside
the name, which is household one among
the veteran real estate firms of southern and
western Texas. The Messrs. Young have
handled more Texas land than any firm in
this city, and have as intimate ali acquain-
lance with the topography of the state the
location of farming and grazing lands, and
are as competent TO give counsel on all mat
tiers connected with the purchase and sale of
lands as any men in Texas. The San
Antonio office was opened by Mr.. III. +.
Young in 1869, his son, W. III Young, soon
after becoming partner in the firm. III. L.
Young is an experienced real estate lawyer,
he has grown up with the state, having been
a resident of Texas since 1910, and of San
Antonio since 1862. These gentlemen deal
largely in southwestern Texas lands, and
their years of business standing have given
them a permanent position in the land
market which places them in an exception
ally favOrably attitude for advantageous
dealings. They have charge of valuable
tracts of land in nearly every county of
southwestern Texas and in other sections of
the state, and can give q broader range of
lands from which purchasers can make selec-
tons than any other firm in the city. Their
holdings of city property are as choice and
varied as of farming and grazing lands, and
embrace some of our finest business and
residence property. They offer unusual at
fractions to those desiring suburban proper
ty, as the very choicest and most command
idg localities on the elevations overlooking
the city that are in market, are in their
hands. To those seeking manufacturing To-
cations they can show the finest water power
on the river, having q head of 30 feet and
very desirable for manufacturing plant.
Special correspondence is solicited with
those desiring such property. The integrity
of this firm has been too long established TO
be called in question now. The representa-
lions of the Messrs. Young are guarantee
of their reliability, and the desirableness
of any property recommended by them
may be accepted in good faith. Parties
from abroad cannot do better than open cor
respOndence with this house If they desire

A DIAMOND PALACE.

There is no question of the position l..
ROuvant'S iewelry house holds among San
AntOniO's wealth and beauty. The magniti-
cent establishment over which he preSdes,
on the east side of Main Plaza, is more fitting
identified to be called the Diamond Palace
of Texas than any other in the state. The
most exquisite taste has been displayed i'm its
interior arrdn Gun .nts. No such how cases
are seen in the state; they vie with the most
modern furnishing of the largest eastern
cities and are the constant subject of praise
from delighted visitors. There is nothing
pertaining to a complete jewelry house that
is not found here. His stock of fine watches
and fancy clocks is very superior. In jewel
~ and sllverware he has all the latest, rich
est, most unique and desirable styles. As 4
practical matchmaker and jeweler he has no
superior. and his personal supervision of all
that comes into or goes out of his establish
ment guarantees to his customers the most
perfect satisfaction. His line of diamonds
is particularly fine, and of other precious
stones he has a handsome display. This de-
partmcnt alone is worth Il king ) ransom.
His array of holiday goods SurpaSSeS any
thing in this line ever seen in Southern
that aStOnish buyers from eastern cities.
His display of gold and silver filagree work
is exceedingly rich, and some of the most
chaSte as well as ornate designs are found in
his cabinets. All goods carried by Mr.. ROu-
want are guarantee of their quality, as
nOthing of inferior stock is carried.

OUR HOLIDAY EDITION.

The SAN ANTONIO DAILY LIGHT in pre-
senting its Holiday Edition for 1856, takes
just pride in 50 doing, and in calling special
attention to its contents, mechanical eXecu-
ton and general excellence. The contents
will speak for themselves on careful perusal.
The mechanical execution is superior to
anything in the newspaper line heretofore
turned out in Texas. No such outside page
as forms the fronts piece of this edition, has
yet appeared on any newspaper published in
this state. 1t is a perfect poem in printers
ink. The promise of that first artistic page
is fully borne out in the body of the edition.
This work is from the hands of TheO. Ii.
Kunzman, an old standby of the LIGHT, and
one of the crack job printers Of the state.
Elegant as was the edition of 1895, this issue
is more elegant still. The twelve pags of last
year become sixteen this, and the sixteen
pages of 1856 will doubtless grow to twenty
pages in 1887. This edition may be accepted
as the LIGHT's appreciation of the patron
age it has received during the year now
closing, and an earnest of what it may
accomplish in the future.

IRISH HUMOR.
From the London Spectator.

From the London Spectator.
The Irish peasant, though apt to be long
winded at times, is capable on occasion of
summarizing the situation in singularly terse
fashion. A landlord showed NE lately a let
ter he had received from former tenant
now in Australia, in which there occurred
the following passage: There are more
men idle in Sydney than there is in T-tlOck,
looking for work and praying to
God not to get it, but lOafing around from
one public house To another" Again, the
expression made use of by a Kerry game
keeper to describe the ascent of steep
green slope-namely, that ''One was atm
grass all the way"-has always struck Inc as
a singular vivid picture of the relative posi-
tons of climber and hillside.
But fOndneSS for fine words and eXpan-
sion is more frequently observable than the
epigrammatic vein illustrated above. One of
our labOrers, who afterwards became a most
efficient member of the London police. went
over to Italy to join the POpe's brigade in
1860, and on his return presented my father
with the diary he had kept during his alb
sence. | have this literary effort in my pos

They were so grand and stately,
And reared on tlOw'ry hight,
Where never darkness brOOded,
To dim the radiant light,

And brightly glittered where
They stood in perfect beauty,
My castles in the air.
Mid gardens green and glowing
With sunlight over head;
With tender passion flowers
And roses deeply red;
And fountains sprinkling crystal,
In dazzling, myriad glare,
To add unto their lustre,
My castle in the air.
Love dwelt within the portals;
Love ShOnG from ieweled towers;
Love looked from out the lattice;
And hid within the flowers.
Love lit them all with glory,
And made them wOndrOuS fair;

The Methods of its Projectors Exposed
Its Prompt suppression

The facts about the Sunday excursion
from Pittsburgh which did not come Oft
Sunday, as related to us, are as follows :
Some persons, who thought they could
make some money out of "A series of such
excursions, obtained from the president
of the Grand Isle Steamb )at company the
terms upon which the steamer Reindeer
could be chartered. Without complying
with these terms and as we believe with
out describing the character of the eXcur-
sions proposed, they assumed that the
boat would be at their disposal, and pro-
ceeded to announce the grand Sunday
excursion by posters and advertisements
Some of the Burlington directors, who
are among our best citizens, knowing that
the directors, as a board, had given no
permission for any such use of the Reindeer
were looking up the matter with view
to putting a stop to the thing, before the
protest on the part of our citizens was
proposed. The announcement in Satur.

tunity would be offered TO protest against
any such violation of the sabbath and OF
the sunday quiet of our city, was exceed
lngly gratifying TO a large proportion of
our citizens, and the protest was very nu-
merouSlN signed. 1t WAS a brief note ad-
dressed to the Grand Isle Steamboat
company, calling the attention of the
president and directors to the facts that
the proposed excursion was contrary to
law, and calculated to disturb the peace
ana quiet of our city, and requesting them
to give orders that the excursion should
not land at Burlington. The number and
character of the signers was such as to en-
title the protest to respect, if anything of
the sort was needed to secure action on
the part of the boat company, and such
action was promptly taken. President
Branerd OF the company came down from
St Albans, and the result of Il cOnSulta-
