A GREAT DISCOVERY.
How "A Man of Science found the
means OF Avoiding Disaster and
ProIonging Life.


"Most of the greatest discoveries tbs world
has ever known have been made during the
present century"
Such was a recent remark Of the President
of the National Science Association, and no
one can doubt its truth. The application
of steam and electricity have all been
brought about within comparatively few
years, while the realm of mechanics has
taken immense strides. But the greatest
and best discoveries are those which lessen
pain and add joy to the human race. And
these discoveries are in a quiet way doing
more for the good of the world, than any
and all material discoveries combined.
A gentlemen, high in scientific acquire
ments, and who has devoted himself to the
benefit of the human race, was forced to the
conclusion that certain elements in the body
which were most lacking, could be supplied.
Acting upon this belief, he carefully ex.
perimented and produced a compound which
by absorbing and retaining the clements
taken into the system adds more albumen to
the body and hence supplieG more life than
anything ever before discovered This COM
pound is called Volina Cordial 1t is not a
cure-all; tits a life-imparting remedy. 1t
takes men who are overburdened with care
and work who do not sleep well; whose
appetites are tickle; who are respondent /;
who have sinking at the pit of the stomach /;
whose heads feel heavy, and renews their life
and health. 1t takes women who are worn
out with the care of home; who have been
enfeebled by the troubles of their sex; who
have a sense of bearing down and WEAKNESS
and restores the color to their cheek, the
sparkle to the eyes and energy TO the body.
1t is boon to the aged and help to fee
BILE children. These are assertions proven
by science and tested by experience; and as
such commend themselves TO the closest and
most immediate attention TO ALL
When energy and hope are gone most en-
joyment in life has departed. 1t is then
that men and women need q friend in the
shape of a sure and efficient health-restorer.
The writer has passed through this eI-
perience and knows whereof he afirms and
hence most earnestly advises all readers to
act upon the truths above stated without
delay.

Rules for Theater-Goers.

The latest rules adopted by theatre
goers by mutual agreement are as fol-
lows:
Always go late.
Saunter slowly down the aisle.
Make as much noise as possible taking
seat.
Raise your hand and becKOn to usher
for programme.
When you get it attract attention by
the way it is flourished before looking
at il.
At first be inclined to sneer and jeer
at the play, and whisper Chestnut" or
Cocoanut in an audible voice.
When the curtain goes down on the
first act and great applause follows, get
up and go out apparently Disguised.
Return in the middle OF the second act,
and smile when all those who have to
get up to let you pass, grumble.
Ask some one If you have lost any
thing by not seeing the first part of the
second act, and, If SO, what was it in
detail.
At the end of the second act yell
"Bravow and make demonstration of
applause that will deafen everybody
around you, and bring the actors before
the curtain.
bOn l. kO out bcbWVVh tuC sSCouu anu
third acts, but remain and bore every
body in hearing by making gushing
criticism Of the fine points made by the
actors who won your hearty approba-
ton.
Work your opera glass to its fullest ca
pacity during the third act and applaud
vigorously every fine point made by
your favorite actor, even II 1t mars q
pathetic scene.
Go out between the third and fourth
acts with great deal Of hustle and as
suranoe, and come in after the curtain
has gone up with the unmistakable
smell of liquid refreshment upon you,
and hilarious disposition to be prodi-
gal with applause.
Be sure and leave before the last act ia
over, just as the hero is dying and speak
ing In low tremolo- voice, and don't
neglect to snap your opera glasses in
casing them, and stumble over the
knees OF those who ignorantly desire to
see the curt ain 60 down.

An English Invasion.
From the New York DRAMATIC TImes.l

From the New York Dramatic TImes.l
New York is just now, Electrically, in
the power Of the English. Our native
actors and authors have quietly surren-
dered, and the citadel, or rather the the
aters, are now in the hands Of our Eng
lish cousins. At the Star Mr.. Wilson
Barrett is apparently invincible; at the
Fifth Avenue Mrs. Langtry is exultant-
ly vigorous; at the Casino Miss Cameron
and Milford Lonsdale are in possession
of the house, If not the dollars; at the
Lyceum pretty little Miss Fortesque is
innocently babbling Mr.. Gilbert's verse;
at Wallack's an English company 10
moaning through an English melodrama;
at the Madison Square the stage Is given
up to the rehearsals of Sir Charles
YouDg's English play, jim, the Pen
man, and at the Union Square an Eng
lish leading man shares the honors with
the only American star who has the te-
merity to appear in the metropolis. The
only places left to Americans are the
combination theaters, and even these
are divided with English attractions.

And The Inquest verdict Seriously
Charges Tom Smith, Jr.
The colored man, Ike, or Israel
Clemens, who was shot by Tom Smith,
Jr., proprietor of the Brunswick hotel,
Austin, on Friday, under circumstances
reported in the LIGHT, died on Sunday
night from the result of his wounds.
AT the inquest the evidence showed
mat the killing was not justifiable in any
way, and the jury returned the following
verdict:
1.-The jury of inquest, upon oath, found
that Israel Clemens came to his death
by the shot of q pistol in the hands of
Tom Smith, Jr., on the night of the 10Th
of October, 1886, said shot having been
fired with malice aforethought, and
struck him in the right side, Immediate
ly within the region of the lower bowels.
We could discover no cause for it. He
was male person, about % years OF
age, co'ored."
On this verdict Mr.. Smith was again
arrested and jailed.
Tom Smiths many friends in this city
will regret the occurrence, and like bis
Austin friends, fail TO understand the
cause of it, inasmuch rs Mr.. Smith ID
known TO be genial, kind-heaItcd and
inotiensive man.

On Monday night Captain Bob Green
attended the Belknap armory for the
purpose of putting the boys through
their regular drill. but the boys wern't
there. They were at the circus as es.
cort guards for the friendly fair ones.
The captain who refused similar en-
gagement was rather annoyed at this in
attention to duty, but she had been thar
himself" and knew how it was, so his
anger melted in knowing smile, and he
walked away thinking q considerable
amount OF think" But he scared the
boys badly by saying he'll fine all alb
sentees.

THE SAN ANTONIO MARKETS.
What was Done in Cattle, Horses
Mules and Wool During the
Past Month.

Past Month.
San Antonio during the past month
maintained her reputation as a cattle,
horse and wool market, and on the
whole the reports are very satisfactory
Az regards the
CATTLE MARKET
the prospects are good. The country
has large supply of stock, and fattenrd
by liberal supply Of grass and water,
but prices are easy. Last spring year
ling's are now offered at IS, but there
can be no doubt that in the cOmiu z
spring the same cattle will fetch from
Sl2 to $l4 and the cost of maintenance
will be thrilling. Northern buyers. how
ever, thought to buy them cheaper and
make the extra profit, but the cattlemen
were too sharp for them. A considerable
quantity of beeves are being shipped
north and east TO raise funds and relieve
Over-crOwded ranches. but the bulk of
the stock will be kept until the spring
market. The general market prospects
are favorable to the cattlemen. In the
HORSE MARKET
A falling of in shipments is reported,
but this is usual in the fall season as it ia
shown that it is dangerous to transport
Texas horses, as they do not, as a rule,
stand the change of climate until aecli-
matiZed. Fair local sales are however
reported. The mule market Is dull but
the mule Is always good money and al
though sales are slow, they are never
ing the past month was about 1000
head. But in the
WOOL MARKET
San Antonio has had its greatest boom,
and in many instances its tone has gone
beyond further expectations of a san
guine character. The market opened
well and ran up 10 "a cents for choice
clips, being a material advance Of four
cents per pound. This continued for
some time, but there is now lull. Hold
ers are firm, and wool is scarce, more
over sellers regard the lull as an at
tempt to bear the San Antonio market
at a character out Of par with the east
ern market. This is shown by the pur-
chase of IS, 600 pounds of wool In Laredo
at Fl cents. Buyers try to lead an opin-
ion OF indifference, when the fact is that
wool is in demand by manufactures and
must be had. If the local buyers ruin
the "bear" too much 1t will lead to the
shipment of wool to northern and east
ern markets.
The following are the wool estimates:
Stored in warehouses .......... ,250,0 900
Sold same quantity .............l, $50. 900
10 arrive ................. 10000
3,25O,COO
These estimates are, OF course, only
approximate, but they are nearly the
actual figure. The ruling quotations
are 174 to "A cents per pound, but several
fine clips will undoubtedly call for %
cents per pound.
