Too Many Dogs.
,ditOr san Antonio LIGHT

Editor San Antonio LIGHT.
have lived in the first, second and
third wards in this city, and am now So
journing in the fourth. Here find more
dogs in four blocks than could be found
in the whole state of Maine. Now, Mr..
Editor, could you influence the city au-
thorities-the mayor for instance-to re-
move about 1900 of the dogs? As even
ing approaches they congregate on the
streets in groups Of from Il to 30, and
there they put in II consecutive hours
in barking, growing, fighting and howl
ing. | tell you, Mr.. Editor, unless they
are removed | will be bound TO pull my
freight, as 1 cannot stand much noise.
These dogs even disturb divine service
with their yels. Strange to say that
among so many dogs there are so few
biting dogs. don't suppose there could
be found in the number more than 500
that could be termed biting dogs. If had
my way | would levy tax of $40 per
head on each and every dog in the city,
and the proceeds | would use for the
comfort of the many little suffering or
phans-children that are daily seen in
this city. What n shame that those poor
little children are so much n elected. If
they were worthless dogs they would be
cared for. Money will send many San
AntOnians to iiddlers' green. john.

HOW IT WAS DONE.
Manuel Lopez Tells How He Stopped the
Confederates Stealing a Federal
Steamer

"Un relating the detail OF my life TO
you" said Mr. Manuel Lopez TO the
LIGHT representative" | forgot one in
cident hat may be of interest TO your
readers. When the American war broke
out WAS employed AS hospital surgeon
in Havana, and at that time the United
States warship, StOnewall, was in the
harbor there | knew of an attempt 10
steal the ship by the confederacy aud TO
use it against the federal commerce.
reported the facts 10 the Spanish officials,
but they were practically in sympathy
with the south, and did not propose 10
interfere in any way, and would not
have done SO, if had not taken the pre-
caution 10 advise the federal consul sim
ulIaneOusly of what was going on. He
Immediately took prompt action, and 1t
Is well he did so, Tor when he had the
vessel stopped; the steam was up and
she WAS just on the point OF leaving the
hgrOor. bout ten months after the
vessel fell in the hands OF the cOnfed-
crates and did considerable damage,
which of course had no power TO pre-
vent, but was glad to have been the
means of staying threatened damage to
life and property. The officials were in
censed at my interference, and | got
severely repTimanded for it, but nothing
more serious could be Op 3nly done, as
had merely done my duty according to
the protested policy of Spain. My Of
fence was simply against secret and
treacherOus policy of which no public
notice could be taken without calling at
tentiOn to nations tTeachery."

instrumentalist, the music was in all
cases admirably rendered and
literally applsuded. The audi
ence was large and all were appar-
emily well pleased. Mr. Mahncke de-
served the thanks OF the public for this

ton In the city.

District Court.

The September term OF the district
court for Bexar county was opened this
morning, in due form. The grand jury
was empanneled, and is composed of
men of good sense and sound judgment,
who, it is safe to say, will not run the
county to expense, by finding bills upon
frivolous grounds or upon the SUPPOSE
tion that proof may be cotton hold of In
the future. This loose way of doing
things has tended to set many persons
against grand juries.
Judge Noonan's charge was delivered
orally; but while 1t was brief, it was
pointed and practical. He said the oath
of the grand jury blazed out the path of
duty in which it must walk, and 1t was
needless for him to enlarge upon the du-
ties of the grand jurors, but he felt bound
to say that each grand juror should vote,
according to the dictates Of his own
Judgment, as a conscientious man, and
not because this or that member Of the
grand jury had voted In particular
manner upon a particular matter
coming before them. In regard to
adult violators of the statutes,
where the evidence was sufficient to
satisfy the minds of grand jurors,
they had no option, but were bound to
return indictments; but the case was
different in the matter Of juvenile Offend
ers against the law. Texas. even while
it was republic and was making head
against "sea of difficulties" that
threatened to overwhelm it, had made
liberal provisions for public education,
and had ever since adhered to the same
liberal policy, but while public educa-
ton was a matter of vital importance to
public welfare, ii could not supply the
place of parental authority. Ii was a
iamentable fact, that large proportion
of parents failed to exercise any parent
al control. One bad boy would corrupt
all the boys in his neighborhood. But
as the state had no reformatory houses
| for juvenile offenders, he had no hesita-
tion in advising the jury to pass over
the lighter offenses of Juvenile offenders,
since they would in all human probabili-
| ty be ruined by association with har.
dened criminals In the penitentiary. He
thought 1t likely, that the legislature
would, at its next session, establish
houses Of correction for juvenile Offend
ers." This Is the substance of the charge
delivered by Judge Noonan.
The docket was then called and cases
were continued or set for trial.

Dissraceful Signs.


From the Hartford Timesl
1t cost the state of Connecticut over
100000 year TO support its militia or
National Guard. The soldiers are well
supplied with armory commences, uni
forms and outfits. The companies are
made up Of active and respectable
young men, who are tolerably well
drilled, and are ready for duty on call.
Their discipline is improved, no doubt,
by the weeks encampment on the fine
gronds Of the State at Mantle.
Ladies visit the camp, the Governor
reviews the soldiers, regular army
officers come to instruct, and gentlemen
from abroad visit the encampment to
witness the excellent arrangements and
Accommodations provided by the State for
the drill of its National Guards. Now
ought the State permit the SOLDIER,
ironically aud in fun of course, to put
such names as these upon their tents:
-Four DruBkards," suckers Home
"Widows' Home" dead Beats, "
"Drunkards' Resort" "Inebriate asy-
lum-Keep out" "HOme OF the Soiled
Doves, " "Bummers' Home" "0ut on a
Drunk" etcP The dignity Of the State
requires that such fun as this should
cease.

Here We Are.

For some days past there has been an
unusual busy time at L. Wolfson's En-
porium; load after load Of huge cases and
bales of goods we're unloaded, until now
by degrees the unpacking has so far ad-
vanced as to form preliminary esti-
mate of the final result.
Knowing that the first autumn tinted
leaves will bring rusticating absentees
and strangers to our city, Mr.. Wolfson
has with his usual foresight obtained
and secured the largest stock of dress
goods brought to this market.
1t is Of interest to every who has any
regard for her toilette, to examine the
latest and newest novelties at this
grand display. A new line of chenille
dress goods with beautifully embroi-
dered cashmere patterns in all shades,
recommend themselves as quick as seen.
Something new also is magnificent
display OF flannel suitings in combina-
ton, stripes and plaids. French Tricots,
Examines, KnickerbOcker, Snowfiakes
and many like new goods of latest and
unique patterns and styles. With this
class 1t must be mentioned that there is
an entirely new display In the most
attractive shades and patterns of
Empress cloths, 1t may be said with all
confidence that many lady Will eX-
claim: Beautiful! In connection with
the foregoing, the silk department has
not been neglected, and the counters
and the shelves are loaded with the
most elaborate and finest display ever
seen In San Antonio. 1t can only be
mentioned that surrah silks and satins,
brocaded, ornamental and plain. 1t is
natural and well understood that full
line OF trimmings to all this vast display
Of dress goods is to be had and displayed.
Mr.. Wolfson says he does not propose
to give" goods away, but leaves it to a
liberal minded public, and the ladies
specially, that after inspection they will
find his establishment the most profitable
for themselves to make their purchases.

When we Demoralize the Stomach

by excuses OF imprudence in eating, we can
not hope TO escape the consequences for any
great length of time. The most robust diges-
ton must succumb TO abuses of that import
ant function. But supposing that we have
been foolish enough TO enfeeble the stomach,
is the damage Irreparablel BY no means. The
dyspeptic has only to do two things to insure
his ultimate recovery. First, he should adopt
use with regularity and persistence Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, the leading gastric in
vigorant of the age. The multiform symp-
toms of dyspepsia, and the almost invariably
attendant disorders, biliousness and constipa-
ton, will assuredly cease to prosecute the suf-
ferer IL the above advice is attended to. Who
that has suffered the torments that chronic in
digestion intlicts will neglect to take advan-
tage of a remedy which, II the most positive
evidence of the medical profession and the
public Is TO be received with due credence, II
