the Lone Star Brewing company success
fully challenges comparison with any in
present or prospective operation. The
amount of capital actually employed during
the year has been S4OOO0O an increase of
slOO,OOO over previous year. The number
of employees has reached 300, an increase of
50 over the greatest number employed last
year. The simple article of coal supply, of
which they consume twenty-five tons daily,
gives employment TO not less than forty
hands and ten teams. In the number of
wOrkmen given above (2OO) those employed
in teaming are not included. The establish
ment of the bOttling works has neceSSitated
the employment of great number of boys
so that the wages are not as high per en-
plOye as reported one year since, but there
has been no reduction and wages paid are as
high for labor performed as in any eStab-
liShment in the city. The monthly pay roll
is now about 5000. They employ San
Antonio home labor whenever and where
ever it is practicable. Preparations are be-
ing made for increased shipments next year.
Their ice supply manufactured by their
own ice MACHINES, is ample for all demands,
and next year will see them with fifty new
refrigerator cars of the latest improved con
StructiOn in which to make shipments.
ii. ID. Kampmann is president OF the com
pany and Otto KGhler secretary, and general
manager. To their untirlng efforts is due in
very large measure the signal success which
has attended the Lone Star Brewing com
pany this year. A visit to the brewery
would well repay the time spent in the eX-
aiming. IL will afford, as nothing else will
an idea of the perfection, extent, care and
extreme cleanliness Of the operations they
conduct. A courteous reception will be eX-
tended those visiting the establishment and
a personal acquaintance with its manage
mCnt will quite clearly reveal the secret Of
the wonderful popularity which the Lone
Star Brewing company has attained in Texas
and the southwest.

The Etiquette of Tact.
From the Detrolt Free Pres.

There Is no aphOrism that commands
more respect than this: 1.-The truth Is
not to be spoken ut all times"
Plain spoken people are always dread
ed by their friends. They eXcOriate
with unskillful scalpel. 1t is rule with
them to smooth pussy's fur the wrong
way, on the principle that 1t is a healthy
function. But the cat never appreciates
IL.
A few days ago a grand-looking old
gentleman with white hair, but fine,
strong physique, gave up his seat in the
street car to a lady. Whereupon young
miss jumps up and with great eagerness
exClaims:
Take my seat; please do. | never
liked to see an old person stand" Doubt
less the motive was good, but the man
ner was most offensive, drawing as 1t
did sharp and obstrusive line between
youth and age and calling attention to
the infirmities that all are sensitive to,
saying nothing OF the implied rebuke to
the lady who accepted the old gentle
mans seat.
A similar incident witnessed by the
writer was met with brusque response.
An elderly lady was standing In the car,
when young lady arose and said:
Il am younger than you, | will stand"
"Suit Yourself" answered the lady who
was so suddenly brought into promi-
hence, and she remained standing.
Again, a gentleman who was walking
behind a lady on the sidewalk thought
he perceived that come part OF her drap-
cry was displaced; he touched her on
the shoulder:
"You are losing your overskirt,
madam" he said hurriedly.
well, SIR" said madam, sis that any
of your businesep"
Two young ladies who were confiden-
tial friends resolved with each other to
point out their mutual faults with
view TO improving. They were seated
cozily chatting when one said TO the
other:
There is one thing, Clara, love, have
often noticed in you. and that Is habit
OF interrupting people when"
Il interrupt, Laura, dear, why you
must be mistaken, [ have always con-
sidered 1t the rud-st thing in the world.

idea of which may be gained by an cXam,ua-
ton of the accompanying illustration. This
building is one of the finest in the city. and
displays the highest architectural arts Of
modern times in its structure and finish.
This building was erected in the year 1885,
at a cost of about 100000. The dimensions
are jOXlO2 feet, by five stories above the
basement, and is soon to have an addition of
similar design and finish on the south side
where Mr. Sam Maverick owns a handsome
lot. The material used in its construction j.
stone, brick and iron. On the street flOOr
is located the Maverick bank where Mr.
Sam Maverick, the gentlemanly proprietor
preSideS. This bank is one Of the most sub
Stantial commercial institutions in the city,
or country, and has the patronage and conf
dence of large portion of the community.
The building has a complete vault system,
the two lower floors having both burgular
and fire proof, and the floors above first-ClaSS
fire proof vaults for the accommodation of
occupants. This bank is now paying four
per cent interest on deposits, but will
probably discontinue to do SO on new de-
posts after January 1st All business
matters entrusted to this bank will be treated
with that prOmptneSS and VigOr which has
always characterized the movements OF the
proprietor, and which goes far 10 insure sue
cess in all undertakings. The floors above
are fitted up for offices, and are conceded to
possess advantages not found elsewhere in
the city. In the first place, the locality Is
high and slightly, and having excellent trans
pOrtatiOn facilities also, the new custom
house, it is thought will be located Just
across on the opposite side of the street.
And again, the building has been fitted up
with all the cOnvenienceS of modern times :;
such as steam heaters, elevator, water, etc
The light and ventilation is perfect, and
cleanliness a strict order of the building
The offices are being taken by leading pro
feSSiOnal men of the city, and an investiga-
ton of the surroundings and advantages in
all particulars, will convince the most
skeptical that there is no Office building in
the city that can compete with the Maverick
Building in the essentials mentioned above.
A personal mention of Mr.. Sam Maverick
in this sketch would be entirely out of place
The history of the Maverick family in Texas
is familiar to most all Texans; the father of
the present representatives having been one
of the original signers of the Declaration of
Independence of Texas. Since which time
the Mavericks have been closely connected
with the history of Texas and San Antonio,
always leading in all enterprises calculated
to advance the growth and prosperity of the
city or country. All having business deal
ings with Mr.. Sam Maverick at his bank will
find him thorough business man, having a
kind word for and ready TO accommodate all
callers.

PERFECTLY AWFULLY LOVELY.

There was once perfectly modern girl,
With perfectly modern ways,
Who saw perfection in every hing
That happened to meet her gaze.
Such perfectly lovely things she said.
And perfectly awful, too.
That none would have dared to doubt her
word,
So perfectly, perfectly true
The Weather, she said in summer time,
Was perfectly, awfully warm;
The winter was pc feet too, when there came
Some perfectly terrible storm.
She went to a perfectly horrible school
In perfectly horrible town;
And the perfectly hateful teacher there
Did things up perfectly brown
The lessons were perfectly fcarfully long,
But never perfectly said;
And when she failed, as she often did,
Her face grew perfectly red.
The church she attended was perfectly
with perfectly heavenly spire;
And perfect crowds went there to hear
perfectly charming Choir
The latest style is perfectly sweet,
The latest the perleCtCst out;
The books she reads are perfectly good
. tJust here we raise a dOuhtJ -
4 ride she took was perfectly grand,
y On a perfectly gorgeous day,
with perfectly nOb5Y friend of hers
Who happened to pass that way
The perfectly elegent falls she'dlseen
When on her way to the lake,
And the graphic description she gave us all
WAS simply modern mistake.
The perfectly splendid foam dashed up
In perfectly killing style,
And the perfectly terrible waves came down
In perfectly lovely pile.

And write TO the end of time,
