Enjoyable Social Given by the Sunday School

Enjoyable Social Given by the Sunday School
of the Second Presbyterian Church.
The Sunday-school room of the Second Pres
byterian Church presented very attractive ap-
pearance last evening Il was decorated with
the national colors and varied display of pot
flowers, and was insufficient to accommodate all
who we're present to participate in the social
and supper given by the Sunday-school. The
programme was attractive in all its features.
After prayer by the pastor there was a vocal
solo by Mrs. DeVay, which was heartily APP
plauded. Miss Carnahan followed her with a
recitation, after which Miss Walker rendered a
piano solo, with very fine effect. Mrs. Kellog
and Mrs. keck both rendered vocal solos
to the delight of all present. followed
by Miss Walker with piano solo,
The closing exercise was a recitation entitled
''The Minister'S First Call" which was received
with applause. At the conclusion of the pro-
gramme supper was served consisting of ice
cream. cake and fruits. The entertainment was
under the management of the young ladies of
the Sunday-school. and was the first OF the kind
eve- held in the church. 1t was found to be of
such enjoyable nature that it will be repeated
in the near future

CLOAK. S !!

"It covers man all over, thoughts
and all, like cloak says Sancho
Panza.
We are mindful of covering for
men, when it comes to that, but it is
covering for women that for various
reasons we speak of now.
One reason, because this is the
time to speak of it.
Cloaks are the great garments for
this time of year.
But they are not as great gar
ment as they ought to be on account
of the unseasonably nice weather
we have had.
They have to "go" just the same;
so we have marked several lots down
some to bare cost; some less than
cost. The word is, "Cloaks must

An Opium S ave.

The man Franklin" who was arrest
ed for stealing opium at Dreiss' drug
store, Is young man Of good position
in the city, and has held a very rtspon-
sible position in a large house. Thou
sands Of dollars have passed through his
hands and he could have embeZzled
large sums of money II he had been so
inclined, but his employers testify that
his accounts are o. X. and express the
greatest confidence In him. The fact is
"Franklin" was an opium slave and the
victim Of its depravity. He would not
steal gold, he would not insult woman,
he would not do any other criminal acts.
but when he saw a fine lump of opium
within his grasp, his love for it led to an
insane desire for its acquisition anyhow
or anyway. He could have bought 1t, but
he thought Of nothing but getting 1t.
This man Is not in reality criminal.
He Is In state of semi-insanity induced
by opium, and is really not responsi-
BILE for his crime. He deserves rather
pity than condemnation.

MINING AND SMELLING.
What Experienced Citizens Think of the
Prospects Of Western Texas.

What Experienced Citizens Think OF the
Prospects of Western Texas.
The LIGHT man yesterday met Mr.. G..
L.. Dignowi'y, who, In conjunction with
Major A. e. Sohryver, has paid a recent
visit to TIE Pecos district, and has been
looking after the mines there. Both
gentlemen are very shrewd and have
considerable experience in that direc-
ton. They are agreed on the fact that
western Texas is rich in silver ore. cop
per ore, and galena, and predict boom
for that section that will equal those OF
Colorado. The precious ore Is found in
large quantities at distance OF 80 to 75
feet, and the assays made, shows $50
to 500 per ton in silver, and GO to 50 per
cent. In lead. A. at present arranged,
all ores for smelling have TO be shipped
to st. Louis or Kansas City, and as n re-
suit, the greater pi offs 20 to those Sec
tiOns instead Of enricbing San Antonio.
The Chennette Garlic and other
mountains of the district are
exceeding rich In minerals and
are profitable for working, but
the foolish way of laying of railroad
lands In alternate sections cripples the
mining interest. This retards the de-
velOpment of that section and is per-
niciOus to the true interests OF the state
and the people. By virtue Of its loca-
tion, San Antonio affords a good site for
smelling works and with fair rates
ought to monopOlize the immense trade
that goes to st. Louis and Kansas City.
Workers are prepared to put the smelt-
ing works here for bonus OF So, 900. OF
this sum only $4,000 have been prom
ised, but II is thought the remain
der can be raised at pres
sure. FL Paso, little and in
significant rs she Is. has raised and Of
fered $4,000 for the same sHeltiDg
works, and If San Antonio don't close
that contract mighty quick, the little
Gate city will gobble up the smelter. FL
Paso Is wise, she knows that there is
money and reputation in those works
and is prepared to make present sacri-
flee for ultimate good. When San AntO-
MO realizes the force Of that golden
principle, San Antonio will be the pre-
mier city Of the Lone Star State. As it
is she is allowing minor cities to out
shine her In enterprise and consequent
greatness,
