The Public" of London.

The London public" is a system of
rooms and compartments concentrating
on single bar. There is the bar par

has been imported to New York; the
'bottle and jug department, and one or
two other rooms, somtimes named, some-
times not. Free lunches are not in order.
The lunch at the British public must be
paid for If in cold weather you want
your ale warmed the barmaid asks you
if you will have it ''chilled." The chill

Study Hours for Children.

According to DR.. Newell. for children
of 10 or ~ years the capacity for bright
and voluntary attention is exhausted by
four varied lessons requiring mental eff
fort of half an hour each, with intervals
of relief in the forenoon. In the afternoon
this capacity is reduced one-half. Two
hours in the forenoon and one hour in
the afternoon is as long time as chill
dren can be profitably employed in
school,"
DR.. Chancellor supports this view, and
advocates eighteen hours week as the
limit for school children under 10.
Baginskey, author of a German work on
school hygiene, takes the same view, and
in demonstration of its effectiveness it is
alleged that half time pupils in the
English schools learn as much as the chill
dren who are in school the full number
of hours.-Hall's Journal of Health.

LEGISLATION RELATING TO
SHEEP

The adjournment of Congress last Sat
lrday etfectually settles the subject of
he wool tariff another year. Neither of
+he tariff bills can become law under
hat time, and no matter what complica-
ions may grow out Of the coming cleo
ion, existing laws will be the laws for
ome time to come. This Indefinitely
Postpones any crisis which might arise
put of new conditions, and holds the
Whole subject in allegiance. Much of the
Uncertainty is therefore taken out of the
ituation, and exactly in accordance with
he legislative probabilities of the past
everal weeks, under the influence of
,hich the market has been slowly gain
hg strength. AS far as the uncertainty
Fhich existed while Congress was in ses-
on affected the market, let it be greater
less, its removal should be that far an
ement of strength. Changes of any
nd are experiments, the end of which
be wisest craftsmanship cannot fully
presee; and now that there is to be no
gislative change, for the present at
asst, there will not now be any expert
ent. 1t is conceded on every hand, and
people of shades of all opinion, that the
hnlediate outlook for wool is better than
has been for long time. which fact

Signature of the Gar.

The car spends very little time in
his study, as he is more afraid of his
stoutness than of political plots. and is
consequently in the habit of receiving his
ministers in the grounds, walking up and
down an avenue while listening to their
reports. He frequently adds his initial

rather indistinct at times. The car il

EARLY AUTUMN.

Through shmmering mists the warm light drifts
Sleepily over the dun, wet fields
Where the sumach burns and the wild rose hfts
Its pale sweet face mid the odorous gifts
That the golden harvest yields
There's moan from the heart of the waving pine
Wind tossed by the creeks dim shore,
And hint of death on the purping vine
Though still In the shadowy dingles shine
The violets that autumn bore.
In the cool, gray light of the day spring fair,
Ere the skies take on their blue,
strange, wild beauty the woodlands wear,
Where the sedges sway in the scented air,
A-glitter with silver dew
Till the day, with its slumbrous, purple glow,
wonderful splendor weaves
On the hazy fields when the soft winds blow,
And the fading rose with Its heart of snow
For the vanishing summer grieves

GOVERNOR ROSS LETTER.

A Suggestion to Southwest Texas.
In response to certain communlca-
lions from l.. w. Adae, secretary OF
the San Antonio Board of Trade, Gov
ernor Ross, under date of August 8,
replies citing the proclamation of Gov
error Adams, of Colorado, concerning
the deep water convention at Denver,
and says:
"The governor ROSS is earnestly
DESTROYS that this convention shall be
great success as on it, in great
measure, depends the material pros
perity of Texas, and to this end he
hopes that every. county in the state
will have itself Tally and ably repre-
sented therein, as well as the cities,
towns and boards of trade, etc., which
are covered by the call.
With this view he has commits
stoned, from their various senatorial
districts, the statistical committee
chosen at Fort Worth, to wit, the
Hons. John Hancock, John Ireland,
ID. G.. Giddings, Thos. b. Walker,
Gresham and L. Lott, and is filling
up the remainder of his appointments
from the ablest gentlemen he can find
willing to attend from the other sena-
torial districts. AS, however, his APP
poin tments are limited, it will be well
for parties intending to go to Denver
to obtain as far as possible, their
credentials and appointments from
their own localities, as otherwise they
may be disappointed if they seek APP
pointments in the first instance from
the governor whose quota is already
nearly exhausted, except from the
third, 9Th, 18th, Sth, 9th, 18th, 18th,
18th, 2lst, 23d, 26th and Goth senate
rial districts. From these up TO date
no amendments have been made"

Grading for q Railroad on Streets
Without Due Authority.
This morning Alderman Kalteyer
went to Marshal Shardein's Office and
said: "Mr. City Marshal, men are
blowing Cameron street from Com
merce street to Houston street to lay
rails of the Cross Town railroad, and
they have no authority whatever to
do 50. The application for permit to
lay the line says from Houston
street to Romano street via Cam
eron street. Captain Shardein
at once instructed Officer Fitzhenry
to go TO the place indicated and he
did so reporting that the man claimed
to be working under the city councils
permit. Captain Shardein then tele-
phoned the mayor, who is confined to
his residence by sickness, asking in
structions. and the mayor instructed
the marshal to get all papers referring
to the case and send them to his resi-
dence, when he would give definite
instructions upon the subject. Thus
the matter stands at the time the
LIGHT goes to press. 1t is said that
the object of the laying the track in
this unauthorized section is to allow
of the transfer of building material for
the new city hall from the depOts to
the works thus saving time, trouble
and expense.

one man left two more would push
their way in, until the crowd was
like sardines packed into box. The
entertainment was fairly good, the

being the special features: The audi

and with the aid of lemonade and
cool beer they kept cool, and
good order prevailed. Uncle John

brewers and learn at what cost they
would furnish ice. BOycOtting the

The Difference in their Wants

The old topper don't want water; oh
dear, no, because it is in his opinion,
injurious to his system, but the far
times, not internally, but for local eX-
ternal application for it means good
crops, fine pasture, and fat cattle, and
these mean prosperity. Ifnature fails
to give water; science and mechanics
will force her to do so, and with the
latter forces at their command. The
F. f. Collins manufacturing company
of West Houston street, San Antonio,

gushing forth gives fertility and pros
perity, in what otherwise would be a
barren section. If you want to get
water call upon or write them and re-
ly upon good results.

it is stated, upon good authority, that

SPARKS. SLABS, RAPS AND TAPS

For the LIGHT:
Bill Burgess is still a democrat,
which proves the republican platform
is not in favor of fire whisky"
A new city government is the great
need of San Antonio. Men with back
bone are demanded.
Shall the car of San Antonio desig-
nate the county and city officers?
From this and all other evils, good
Lord, deliver u.s."
Bobtail politicians are multitudnOus
in San Antonio just now. y search
warrant would fail to discover any
brains in their heads.
The national democratic committee
should engage the car of San Anto-
Mo to speak in New York, with
gavel in his hand. The sage of Bean
vile could furnish the weapon with
which Sampson slew 1000 Philistenes.
When a married woman elopes with
a man, whether such man be single
or married, she takes a step that is
fatal to her. Far better for her to OBJ
tain divorce from her husband and
seek happiness III more congenial
marriage than too defy public opinion
and place herself outside of the pale
of responsibility.
Both branches of the legislature in
New York are republican, yet the
democrats claim the state. Cleve-
lands majority in 1884, including the
neither fish, flesh nor fowl mug
wumps, was just 1904 votes. Harri-
son will sweep New York just as
easily as the czar of San Antonio die
tates to the sage of Beanville.
The improvement of the streets and
pavements in San Antonio is the para
mount object, if we wish to attract
population and capital. The new city
hall ruins one of the plazas, and will
not induce single person to settle in
San Antonio. The car had city hall
on his brain, and the council played
into his hand like dummies. Puppets
are no good.
The strike on the Burlington and
Quincy railroad seems to have been a
failure, as it has cost the strikers an
immense sum of money. 1t is not one
time in hundred that a strike bene'
fits laborers. The loss of wages is not
the sole drawback. Idleness leads tC
dissipation and to the use of unlawful
means to coerce employers into com
pliance with the demands of the
strikers. Boycotting never can take
root and flourish in American soil. i
is contrary to our Institutions.
