A DRAW.
The Qualities of the Two Fire Steamers
Tested Yesterday.

The Qualities of the Two Fire Steamers
Tested Yesterday.
The two fire engines, the sam Houston" of
No. |, built by Ahrcns x Co, and the James
II. French" of No. 2, built by the Silsbee Com
pany, were tested yesterday afternoon on Main
plaza, in view of large crowd of citizens.
The two engines were given start simutan-
eousy by Chief DuerlCr, and started from II
point on Dryer avenue, 200 yards from the
ditch in front of the cathedral, on the west
side of the plaza. No. steamer reached the
spot first, but No. had their suction hose in
the ditch and attached first. Chief Ducrler
gave the order. start water at ~ pounds pres
sure" and the engineers and stOkeTs of each
company went to work with enthusiasm and
their pOkers, while the police captains kept
the crowd back. In about FIVE minutes the
Sam Houston had steam up and began throw
ing n stream OF water, which, however, was
not strong, while No. did not reach 20 pounds
pressure for some five minutes afterwards,
having 10 pounds steam while No. had 10. This
is due to the boiler of No being of larger
capacity by Il gallons, than No. |. when the
stream burst forth from on their = inch nOZ-
Zle, 1t came with great force and shouts on
both sides were then set up, and the rivalry
began.
No l used their largest nozzle first, Ia
inch, on single hose, and No. 2 used their
small nozzle, : inch. Both streams went up
about the same distance, but at the greatest
pressure 70 pounds, on both steamers, No
seemed to have the advantage of heights of
water. Both hose were then tested, to each
engine, with MOBILES OFFS and Is inches diane
ter, for No. !, and = and Ia inch diameter for
No, .. Splendid results were attained, aud
the chief cOmplimented the boys on having
two as fine engines as he had ever seen any
where. In rolling up the hose after the test,
No. was again to the front, getting their
hose on the reel by about II feet over No I.
This was caused by catch in the coupling of
No. Is hose.
The test gave general satisfaction to all.
There was no ill-feelng cngendered and moth
ing but friendly rivalry. The advantage
seemed to be with No 2 company, as their en-
ginecr, Fred Dicner, is familiar with the en-
gine, .while the engineer of No. | was not
fully acquainted with his steamer and was
tImd in its working. No accidents occurred

Editor san Antonio Light:
To the thoughtful. practical mind II would
seem there could bc hut one answer to the
query. Still the south, ever disposed To he CON
sCryatiYc In matters involving a change in eS-
tablished custom, has not yet, as a unit, come
to the front with u decided affirmative. In
view OF this, any step in this direction should
be regarded with favor by those who believe
that woman's sphere should only be limited
by her capacity. Such step was taken in
our city when the Alamo business college was
established, and its doors opened to students
of both sexes. In this progressive day when
women are entering fields of labor heretofore
almost II not entirely closed to them. IL be-
comes of the utmost Importance that oppOr-
tunity be afforded them TO fifty prepare them
selves TO enter the lists as among the worlds
workers. Therefore an institution which
makes no discrimination in favor of the
sterner sex, and seeks to encourage and
stimulate the daughters of the land in acquir
ing business education, deserves to be fOs-
tered.
knowledge is power" and who stands in
greater need of power than the weaker sex Z
How often ignorance OF some simple business
principle places a woman entirely at the
mercy of those with whom she may be deal
ing. IL Is false idea that our girls do not
need practical business training, and an equal
ly false one that the home is made to suffer
by giving them such an education.
girl need be none the less gentle and
womanly; none the less the guardian angel of
the fireside, because she understands how TO
render an account properly, and does not mix
her debts and credits. On the contrary, the
development OF all the powers but fits her to
better care for the home her womanly nature
is relied on to ca cate.
Away then with such old fogy ideas that
our girls do not need any knowledge of bust
ness. Train them up to be independent, self
reliant women. The time is past when they
could afford to be anything else, if 1t ever ia
reality existed.
1t should be especially gratifying to all who
are interested in noting the progress of lib
eral educational spirit in our midst to know
that the first graduate from the Business Col
lege is young lady, none other than Miss
Mary, the second daughter of Mr.. George
Dullnig. Her example Is a good one, and
should be followed by others among our
bright, spirited girls

The Physiology of the Liver.

The liver is the largest secreting organ In
the human body, and the bile which it Sc
cretes is more liable to vitiation and misdi-
rection from its proper channels than any
other of the animal fluids. Luckily for the
bilious, however, there is an unfailing source
of relief from liver complaint, namely Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, medicine which
for over quarter of a century has been
achieving thorough cures of the above men
toned ailments, fever and ague, dyspepsia
bowel complaints, rheumatic and kidney af-
lection, and disorders involving loss Of ner-
vous vigor. IL is, moreover, a preventive of
malarial disease, aud affords protection to
thousands of persons residing In districts OF
country where that dire scourge is prevalent.
As a remedy adapted to the medical require
ments of families, it is supremacy desirable,
aud as means OF terrifying debilitated sys-
tenn, 1t is thoroughly to be depended upon.

Time ProfitabIy Spent.

No time of the farmer is more profit
ably spent than that which he spends in
close observation among his growing
crops. By frequent and careful exanl-
nations he not only learns the progress
of crops under different conditions. but
he also discovers. at an early period,
the presence of an o d or new enemy.
Many crops have been nearly ruined be-
cause of a neglect to watch the coming
of an enemy, and many a field has been
overrun by weeds because the owner
has neglected to keep over it watchful
eve: manv crops have been greatly re-
duced in value because for the want of
observation it has been permitted TO
over-ripen. In fact. in whatever stage
of growth a crop may be. it demands
a constant watchfuIness, and the closer
the observation the greater will be the
power to prevent a failure and insure
suecess.-N Z. Observer.

BRITISH AGRICULTURE.

It's Ruin Brought About by American, In
dian. and Australian Competition.
It seems now to be settled that under
existing conditions it does not pay to
grow gram or raise cattle IN the best
part of the continent and the British
isles. For this curious and alarming
state of affairs the world is indebted to
the extension of steam navigation to all
parts of the earth. Wheat, barley, oats,
etc, can be grown on almost any
arabic land. It follows that wherever
the factors are most favorable that re-
zion gets the benefit Of this cheap
access to the consuming market. A
few years ago India contributed but co.
900 bushels Of wheat to countries out
side of the Peninsula. Its export sup
ply is now about 10000. 000 bushels.
and with the extension of the railway
system it will have fully LOG, 900, 600 for
outside consumption.
The secret of midas ability to sell IN
distant markets is the extraordinary
cheapness of labor, which does not
command more than ten cents day OF
our money. The United States, AUS
traIia and New Zealand can produce

English and European wheat grower.
This is because of cheaper and more
fertile lands and the use Of machinery
on the broad prairies and
plains, which dispenses with costly
labor. Recent statistics show that
tenant farmers in the British islands
who confina themselves to cereals and
iui, or hntl, Ia
meet if they undertake to pay their rent.
This accounts for the distress among the
agricultural classes in the Old World,
and more especially for the abject mis-

diversified industries, because the island
is without coal or iron. and British laws

Ought to Blister the Tongue.

There is a rumor in Washington
the source is not official, however-that
Attorney General Garland is likely to
resign within the next thirty days and
that the office will be rendered to Ram
dolph Tucker, of Virginia, represent
tative in the House, one of the best and
most brilliant lawyers In the country
1t would be a burning shame to see an
honest and able man like Garland
forced to resign to appease the VEN
omous press, bought and owned by the
Bell Telephone Company. There Is
not a reputable citizen in the country
who does not know that no
act of Gariand's has been prompted
by the fact that he is stock
holder in the Pan Electric Conn
pany. At the time Garland bought
the stock he was q Senator, President
Cleveland had not been spoken of for
Chief Magistrate and there was nothing
the company could appeal co Congress-
for. 70 say that this sturdy honest
man. who Is as poor to-day as the first
hour he entered the Senate. sold him
self for the worthless stock is to utter q
desplcable falsehood which ought To
blister the tongue that repeats it. No
matter what may be said of Southern
congressman no pitch clings to their
skirts and no scandal-monger dare ac-.
cuse them OF selling their votes or in
fiuence. &c is the duty of the Admins
tration to stand by Garland, for this at
tempt to drive him ont is prompted by
malice and is pushed only for the pur-
pose OF stabbing the Presidents and his
Cabinet. The time to stand by m
honest man is when he is unjustly ac-
