Christmas Times.
Editor LIGHT:

Editor LIGHT:
This Christmas season has been thus
far one Of the best, taken all in all, in
the history Of Is beautiful city of an
cient renown and brilliant PROMISE for
the future. Moderation has character
iZrd hilarity. Religious festivals and
feslivity have been prominent, and are
going on in a general tide Of success.
/ he union OF the stage and the pulpit,
in the mingling Of actors with church
performers, Ia noticeable feature,
showing p ogress In our day. Such a
thing would have made the ancient
Puritan mind stand and stare with per-
feet horror.
But little blood and thunder have
come to our ears In even this exagger-
ating crisis. The need of recreation is
acknowledged. That men should know
how to be gentlemen with ladies. Is
trite truism; and that perhaps some
have not this knowledge is an
other idea as old as the hills.
ballet. What the clergy think on the
subject is given much prominence. This
l. just like men asking advice and then
going their own way. The adviser Of
ten feels sighted; but people have
way of doing as Ii suits them. AS to old
fogies, they are played out. But young
fOgyism ought not TO be secuted That
is TO say, there are at least two sides to
a question, and things should not be
run like a jug handle, all on one side.
Being young fogy we don't know any
thing 9th ballet from observation, but
The way OF young gentlemen and ladies
hug each other too closely and for
long hours In nightly dance and merri-
ment, Is not exactly after the proper
moral idea, however popular or respect
able. Responsibility, not unlike char
ity, is covering the multitude of sins,
both in church affairs or fairs and in
ball room performances. We meant
70 say, II we have not that relaxa-
tion of mind, and wit and humor
and pleasantly, and gvmnastic exercise,
are all right within proper bounds. At
the same time, the sly touch and the
subtitle MAJ 9uvre unduly exciting in q
wrong manner, cannot be well looked
after, except by its effects. There are
quite too many reports, or rather in
stances, of shame In births and friend
less young waits. Man should be man
and not a brute. Now and then, 1t may
be, that q yOungliDg older in bodily de-
yelnpment than in mental, and without
any blighting experience as yet, is too
much urged on by curiosity and sup
posed pleasure; and rather despises the
ballast OF sound principle. A little more
thinking In our fast age, holding hot
bloods back, Is as much In requisition as
Ia slower past ages, 1t was needed for
the inspiration Of business, energy aad
progress. This Is merely an outline
transcript Of thoughts passing in many
minds. Young FoGY.

Ball at Casino.

We guess that the above ball was
called Fancy DRESS" because every one
came in dress that suited their fancy
best. Evidently there was some mis-
take as TO what TO wear. some thought
that only those who wore costumes dur
ing the Bazaar were expected to wear
them at the dance, others that unless
they came in costume they would not be
allowed TO dance. so these latter went
into the gallery, and after the music
started, most of them came down just rs
they were. Among those in costume
were Misses Aubrey, Lillian Og-
den, Alma Ogden, Teresa Cumins,
Angi Cumins, Annie Howard, Lula
Moore, etc. The committee were the
same as at the late Bazaar, and the floor
committee, Messrs. Goodwin Mitchell.

music furnished by ZOrtare!li's band
was excellent. There were 10 all sixteen
fances, most Of which were round.
Very few wall flowers, and we believe
very much enjoyment.

IN HIS MIND.
The Ex-Postmaster Claims the Light =
Property He Never Owned.

The Ex-Postmaster Claims the Light =
Property He Never Owned.
The editor and ex-postmaster, and
would be claimant for every other fat
Office in The land, is evidently laboring
under a mental hallucination, and yes
terday in his little organ, says the LIGHT
was stolen from Kim. His pretended
claims Is a matter of the past. His al
legged pPcuniary or proprietary interest
In the LIGHT has always been n matter
OF his imagination. 1t Is true. that Mr..
NewcOmb WAS the first editor OF the
LIGHT, for which he WAS paid stipu-
lated salary, and then overdrew
hi- account several hundred dol
lara, but So far as his ever
owning any of the material Of the
establishment, ia purely visionary. Mr..
NewcOmb In that transaction simply got
beat at his own game. Mr. Clifford
owned the LIGHT Adjustment at that
time-bearit K all the obligations he had
given and paid every dollar Of it-and 10
has never vet been shown that q man
could steal his own property. |; is late
In the day for Mr.. NewcOmb to set up
any such claim. He probably has for
gotten the proposition he made at that
time to several parties that he New
cOmh) would take the name Of the paper
and start new office. provided a certain
party would put up part OF the money
and leave Mr.. Gin I'd with no paper
and only a lot OF second hand material
and numerous unpaid bills to show for
the costly friendship which he had ex-
tended to the ex-pOstmaster for num-
Der OF years. Gratitude for what Mr..
Clifford had done for him should have
brought better return from Mr.. New
comb than HIS proposition to take the
paper and leave the debts to take care
Of themselves. Mr.. Newcomb has been
fortunate in having men put him
on his feet and give him posi-
tiOn; but the idea that he ever had
any paper stolen from him ia impOssi-
BILE, for he never owned type in the es-
tablishment. and his assertions to that
effect are only freak of his extremely
vivid Imagination.

IMAGINATIVE LOCAL REPORTER.

Fails to see Patti, Writes a Suppositious
Interview and Gives Himself Away.
A rich story is told Of our entertain
ing local reporter who wanted TO see
Patti and to interview her. He waited
for the train very snxIOusly ana when
he saw the headlight cleaning his heart
was glad, for he had now an opportunity
to distinguish himself. What was bet.
ter, none OF the other reporters were
around, and he had chance for a
mighty big scoop. Patti was locked in
and no one could get 10 see h'r. He
begged the conductor, implOred the pOr.
ter, and tried to bribe servant with a
glass OF beer, but all in vain. lie ex-
psTienced the horrors Of Tantalds for he
could just get glimpse OF her, but moth
ing more. The train left and
the reporter went home mad and
discOnsolste, and he tried to get
even with her. He wrote a
suppOsitiOus interview in which he
made Patti say pleasant things about
the San Antonio people and the opera
house. That was all right. Then he
made her ridicule Dallas and Fort
WOr h, who worked hard to secure her
appearance in those cities. That was
wrong, and it did the Diva an injustice,
for PATTI Is Il lady, and her good man
ners would prevent such folly, injustice
and ingratitude. Then he drew II pa
thetlG picture of the hunger of the
troupe. That gave the whole thing dead
away, for Patti has cook and Kitchen
on board and has her meals supplied in
the car. OF course this little item WAS
one Of the tricks of the trade. 1t was
Creditable to the enterprise and imagi-
nation OF the reporter. but it WAS an i'm
position upon the public and did our dis
tinguishpd guest an Injustice.

Of intense pain, her joints were swollen and
painful, and eventually her whole body and limbs
became covered with splotches and small sores.
Her appetite failed, and she gradually lost flesh

as her limbs and muscles were paralyzed.
To the reporter she said 4" had blood poison
and rheumatism, and before one bottle OF B. b.

When had completed the use of six bottles my

wild In the Woods.

ATopeka. Kansas, dispatch of the 4th says:
For several days parties have been searching
on Parsons creek, Washington county, for
four persons known as the wild family, con.
sisting Of a man, woman, girl about IS
years of age, and child. Yesterday the
search ended in the capture Of the entire
family. The man, woman and girl have
black hair on their faces. and the man has
much hair on his body. That on the girls
face is very fine. The color of the faces of
all is a sky grey. The parties cannot talk,
but the woman makes peculiar noise which
the girl appears to understand. On top of
the heads Of the man and woman are slight
evidences that they have been scalped. The
opinion prevails that they have been scalped
by Indians years ago and became insane,
and have wandered in the woods ever since.
Doctors propose to perform operations on the
party in hopes Of restoring their minds.
