We Are Going to Keep 1t.

Men interested in the wool trade are
determined to retain 1t In San Antonio,
and movement 10 on foot to inaugu-
rate company with 500, 600 to build q
big warehouse and compress. This Will
be a big advantage for the city because
1t will be all the more serviceable for
both wool and cotton men. The COM
press In the latter industry will be of In
calculsble benefit. When the warehouse
is built receipts will be issued for wool
and cotton stored there, and these re-
oeipts will be bankable paper enabling
owners to raise money Immediately,
and, being fire proof, 1t will secure
low rates Of insurance. 1t is expected
that q concerted action Of this kind will
insure better freight rates, which is an
other big advantage.
Competition Is the life Of trade and
there seems to be no doubt that the Gal
weston attempted steal will put our citi-
zens on their mettle to place 1t on the
best possible basis and be productive OF
mutual good to all interested.

Scored a Success.

The performance at the Fashion
theatre last night was worthy OF the
large audience that greeted 1t. From
the rising of the curtain until the close,
every one wore pleasant look on their
face. The Drum Majors Dream" was
a grand success; Miss Pearl Bradburn is
as pretty as a peach, and her songs were
finely rendered; the knife throwing act
of Mr.. Frank Sicotte, who was assisted
by Miss Mable Lawrence, is the best
exhibition OF the kind ever seen in San
Antonio; the Msrrions, in their musi-
cal sketch, were we'll received;
Mr.. John Burk, as the really fun
nv young man, was indeed funny;
w. S. Wheeler, as the "lrisn Dutch
mar" made decided hit. Miss Grace
Forest and Miss Rose st. Clair, appear
ed to good advantage.
The wonderful acts in mid air, OF
Sicotte and Delvey were more than
clever, but the feature Of the programme
was the Daring Slide for Life, OF De-
Ivey. A lively after.piece entitled
"CommotiOn, :" concluded one OF the best
entertainments yet seen at this popular
theatre.

peated during the week. 276t

Circunlstantial Evidence.

APeramulating correspondent of the
New York Journal of Commerce, writ.
ing from Manchester, VT, has the fol-
lowing: 1t was hear Manchester that
a half century ago occurred the Cir
cumstances leading to q celebrated
trial in which two brothers named
Bourne were convicted of numbering
one Colvin who afterward turned up
alive. The story is q very familiar
one to all readers, and it occurs to
me to mention it now for the sake of
saying that it is often enormously
cited as illustrating the danger of re-
lying on circumstantial evidence. 1t
is, on the contrary, a striking proof
of the inferiority ofdilect and positive
evidence to circu,nstantial evidence.
There was little or no circunstantial
evidence in the Bourne case, and the
jury found the prisoners guilty on d.
rect proof of confessions. They doubt
less believed that they had killed the
man, and no one was more surprised
than they when it appeared that he
had survived the treatment they
gave him and wandered away aharm-
less lunatic. There are people who
still believe that the murder was com.
plete, and that the man brought from
New Jersey to Vermont was not the
person he was represented to be. The
story has become a part of the 70.
mantle history OF Vermont. 1t forms
the basis Of q very stupid novel by
an English author, who heard it told
and failed in using it, because the
strange and romantic truth is in it.

though q sudden thought struck her,
said. ooh, by the way, have you the

look into the matter
1.-THE same day I hunted up the
pedigree of the famous actor and
found that he was q young man
comparatively new to the stage who
was filling a three-line part in a pop
ular play then running. He was q
very handsome fellow, though. In
q day or two she came again. Did
you get that picture for me?' she in

foolish of me to add to my stock
the photograph OF a young man who
was so little known. But / must
have his PICTURE she said, and
looked so disappointed that I rather
pitied her. I told her that I would
have the young mans picture taken
and put it on sale if she would pay
me $50 as a quarantine againstloss.
It's a BARGAIN" she said, when can
| have some?"
"Well, l saw the actor, and the
poor fellow was almost overwhelmed
with delight when told hinl that I
wanted to add his picture to those
in my window. 1t seems that he had
been in very hard luck, and getting
out OF an engagement through
sickness, had accepted the minor
role, in which he was then act
ing. Inside of three weeks
his picture was in my window as per
agreement, and, to my surprise, sold
well from the start. But the strange
part is to come. One day a gentle
man sauntered in, and while looking
over some pictures came across one
OF my young men. Heappeared sur
prised. Before he went he ordered
some pictures of the young man and
handed me his card.
"On it was the name of the mana
ger of the very theater at which the
young man was playing. Not long
after the managers visit I noticed
that the sale Of the young actors
photographs began to boom, and
then / learned that he had been Civ
en- a more prominent part and was
fast becoming q favorite. Then I
told the young man about the young
lady and he was all interest at once.
He wanted to know everything about
her, and made me describe herto him
over and over again. After that I
didn't see him for nearly a year.
