Rev. f. o. Molntire, pastor OF Central
Methodist church, Austin, and presid-
ing elder of the Austin district, preached
on Sabbath, in place Of Rev. Mr.. Gid
dings, in Trinity Methodist Episcopal
church. The occasion was sacramen tal;
there was large attendance, and much
religious enthusiasm was apparent.
Text: 81 am the resurrection and the
life" The two leading thoughts OF the
| sermon were the resurrection OF the
body, and eternal life to the soul; con-
stituting full redemption. He held that
Christ Is now in Heaven In glorified
humanity, and that his people are TO be
with Him with bodies fashioned like
unto the glorious body OF their Lord.
He dwelt upon the greatness Of redemp-
ton, taking fallen man from the degra-
dalton and ruin OF sin, and enthroning
him with his Lord in glory eternal.
Dean Richardson on Sabbath last
spoke Of Gods desiring the services OF
willing hearts, and of its being In mans
power to refuse. He held forth Christ
as the Mediator, in all respects just such
as is needed by man in his fall, and grief
and ruin.

A NUISANCE
On East Commerce Street A Citizen
Makes Strong Kick.

Editor San Antonio Light.
SAN ANTONIO, May 10, lss6.-Probably
the most abominable nuisance that was
ever tolerated about this city is now be-
ing studiou sly maintained on East Com
merce street, adjacent to and within 80
feet of the east fence Of our city ceme-
terry. There is where huge pile OF filth
has been burning for the past two weeks,
and, with the addition OF an occasional
carcass Of some dead animal thrown upon
this burning heap, and undergoing a
slow process Of cremation, the atmos-
phere over the entire adjoining cemete-
ries, as a consequence. Is so impreg-
mated with binding smoke and unbear-
able stencil that ladies, while engaged
In decorating the last resting places Of
their dear beloved ones, were compelled
to abandon their laudable work and re-
treat from the poisoned atmosphere.
While citizens, who attended funerals
during the last two weeks, wondered
why such state Of things is allowed to
exist by the authorities, Ii Is doubtful
whether Mayor Callagban is aware ofthe
existence of this greatest OF nuisances {;
but the writer can scarcely believe that
IL could have escaped the notice OF the
Third Ward Sanitary Inspector, whose
duty 1t was to have the same abated
long ago. Yet, instead OF an abatement
Of this nuisance a perpetuation OF the
same seems contemplated, from the fact
that on last Saturday another large
quantity Of filth was dumped upon the
smoking mass. A place so public rs
this on East Commerce street should not
be made the receptacle OF dead animals
and the filth and debris Of the entire
city. Let any Alderman take stranger
up East Commerce street past this point
where, besides what Is already COM
planned Of, millions OF old fruit cans,
broken bottles, enormous heaps Of old
rags and papers, the latter being carried
by the winds all over the adjacent oeme-
teries, and, while the stranger Is taking
in this disgusting sight, II the Alderman
does not blush for the city government
and make some sort of an apology, he
will, at least, say to himself: "Why Is
this thus, and why do we allow this to
go on?" If the city is not disposed to
purchase land for depository of filth.
ETC., further out, then why not use the
extreme northeastern portion Of the
tract now usedp 1t would certainly be less
Objectionable. A SUBSCRIBER.

Agents,
A New De~arture.

A representative Of the LIGHT, while
at the San Pedro Springs Park yester-
day, got a glimpse at the background
scene on the stage at this public resort.
The picture Is nothing less than Wolf
sons Bazaar Of Fashion and the adjoin-
ing White Elephant store combined.
The view is well chosen. as it shows the
Main plaza front and part Of the side
view OF Acequia street, and Is portrayed
In vivid colors, pleasing to the eye, and
at once recognized by the locker on.
Mr.. W Olson has now completed the
finishing and furnishing Of that monster
establishment. Clothing is the indis-
pensable adjunct to the making-up of
the human form, divine In modern civ
ilization. With this end in view, Mr..
Wolfson has, through his agents In the
East secured stock Of gents. clothing
and furnishing goods that stands second
to none In the South. The rich, the
poor, the boy, youth and dude, and he
who wisdom rife, all can be accommo-
dated In suits that are up to the season.
The furnishing goods department for
the male population is the most COM
plete ever gathered together, and
abounds In an endless variety and quail
" OF IaDrics 10 suit the most fastidi0us.
| And right here, while telling Of the
fashions, 1t Is not alone to the tastes of
the sterner sex that Mr.. Wolfson caters
so successfully, but ladies will find In the
millinery department everything that
the soul can wish for. Eastern, Northern
and European fashions are here dis
played that cannot be outdone at any
modern mart. Tuscan straws In bon
nets. and rich flOral deeora tiopa in con
junction with ostrich plumes, form the
principal combinations and decorations
for ladies' head-dress. The fact is,
even the most excessive delicacy
could not but be pleased at the large Sc
lection Of material in the millinery line
as 1t Is displayed at Wolfson's.
| Novelties In dress goods and trim
mings are the order Of the day, and
these are gotten up in all the light and
dainty fabrics that form the acceptable
styles for spring and summer dress.

THE TRUTH ABOUT IT.

Mr.. Swift contracted with San Francisco
to take up her u against the Spring
Valley Water Company. The contract
was made with a Democratic city admins
tration. At the time it was conceded to
be a good contract. It involved a retainer
and a contingent fee, The case was con-
sidered well nigh hopeless-in fact, had
long been given over by San Francisco.
Mr.. Swift went into it with all his accus-
toned yigor. He won the suit, and San
Francisco was saved a half a million of
dollars. But the contract must needs be
confirmed by the Legislature Of the State
before San Francisco could pay the laborer
the agreed hire. So a Democratic Legis-
Iatlire was asked to pass the necessary en-
abling Act. That Legislature, Democratic
nearly through and through, passed the
Act and San Francisco paid Mr.. Swift his
fee. That is the long and the short Of the
whole transaction, about which the Sar
Francisco Examiner believes it is making
such a tremendous amount of political
capital. There was not a thing in the
whole matter that did not reflect credit
upon Mr.. Swift, and of which San Fran
cisco did, can or ever will complain. Ii

THE

The distribution of the surplus" is a
question about to be revived. To parcel it
out among the States, subject to recall by
the Federal Government, is bad. 1t was
tried fifty years ago and proved a source of
infinite trouble. To get rid of it by level
ing the tariff will not be agreed to by the
Republican party and the great industrial
forces of the country. The Proposition to
put the Government into the market as a
buyer of bonds is bad as it would en-
nance the premium. The one scheme
most likely to meet with a large share of
popular approval is that to expend a por-
ton of the surplus-so called-in de-
manded public improvements. The water
ways, over which the Federal Government
is bound to exercise guardianship, can well
engage a large portion of the surplus, in
preserving navigation and preventing the
destruction of rivers. The Sacramento
river deserves to have several millions
iudiciously expended by the Federal Gov
eminent on it. Such expenditure would re-
suit in the broadcast benefits and immeasur-
able public good. The coast and harbor
defenses of the country are woefully made
quate, and as a permanent investment sew
eral millions may be wisely expended in
this direction. The rehabilitation Of the
navy is an absolute necessity and would
swallow a large portion Of the annual sur
plus for a period of years.
