Editor DAILY LIGHT:
DEAR SIR:-In looking over the report
Of the city council and the mayors mes
sage In the columns of your valuable
paper of the 20 inst, that in Gallagher's
reference to communication In paper,
that colored people we're refused ad-
mission to the city hospital, have this
to say. l went to the city physician,
DR.. Braunagle, in the month Of October
1887 to make an application TO have q
pital as city patient, as he was desti-
tute and unable to care for himself: DR..
Braunagle said that as my brother had
been in the city over six months, he
could not permit him to enter the hos
pitsl as q city patient, and that would
have to apply to the county authorities
for assistance. then told him would
like to have him, (my brOther) put In
the hospital then at my expense and
he told me could not do 1t. Ii what he
told me was true about . person living
here over six months, would be
In the oounty's charge, then how
is 1t with men who have lived
here for several years and never
psyed q dollar OF tax In the city or
county. know Of several such patients
In the hospital now at the oity's ex-
pense. And they are not 0olOred men.
1t seems as though the CITY officials who
have charge Of the oity hospital, have a
very nice scheme by which they prevent
colored people from getting what justly
belongs to them. And furthermore, .
colored man was with me at the time
went to see DR.. Braunagel about put
ting my brother In the hospital. and that
mania mama Uaa Alhort Riohardann
who was janitor to the city council at
that time, and for daring to assist me In
getting place in the city hospital, b 9
was discharged by the mayor, Bryan
Callaghan, who said he did not want the
the city administration run in favor OF
the negroes. Respectfully,
w. r. PATTERSON.

Jack Tailor. the Brooklyn strong boy,
and John Smith, also of Brooklyn
There were about fifty sports present.
The fight was to finish with skin fitting
kid gloves, according to the London
prize ring rules. From the beginning
the fight was fast and furious, and Smith
up to the fiftieth round, seemed to be
the better man. At that point, Tailor did
some heavy ..slugging, and succeeded In
sending Smith to the earth many times;
one blow put him to sleep.
but to the astonishment OF
all, Smith came at the call OF time, in
seventy seconds, and at the last round,
Tailor kept up his vicious smuggling, and
finally succeedt in planting his left fist
with q laundering whsok on his an
tsgonist's temple, which sent Smith to

CORRAL THAT SHELTER.

The proposition for smelter works
made this city by the Southern Pacific
X. r. is one Of those propositions which
carries upon Its face the nc cessity Of ac-
ceptsnce and prompt action. The
Board Of Trade have selected good
committee, and II energetic canvas Is
made there should be no doubt of the
result. San Antonio must cast little
bread upon the water Of industry and
enterprise In the way of bonus, If she
would reap substantial benefits In the
near by and by. No one can look care
fully into the matters presented for the
consideration Of our citizens, without
being particularly impressed with the
fact that enterprises are seeing output
in this direction. The Union stock
yards, the wool warehouse, the universe
ty, the Medical annex, the north western
railway extension, the smelling works
and the tannery, are all enterprises
that are more than suggested, they
all have reasonable prospect Of
6uOCcobs hI6 b"CNCA VIII
work on ali the rest. Municipal
enterprise and industrial energy will
grow by what it feeds upon, and any one
OF these mooted enterprises fairly un-
dertaken, will be guarantee Of the sue
cess of some other one. 1t is not so
much q matter of importance which
which come first, as to have some one
come now. the rest will follow. The en-
terprise which is most energetically
pushed, is the one which will get there
first, and pioneer the way to much that
will follow. This smelter enterprise
will stimulate work for the northwestern
extension, and the bonus for this north
western extension raised, the smelter
would follow in rapid order. Take hold
OF something and push it, This is the
thing of all else now needing to be done.
Let some one OF the enterprises mooted
be pushed to successful completion,
and the increase it will bring be noted,
and there will be no trouble about the
others. When the impotent folk lay In
the margin of the old pool, 1t was the
man who stepped In first who was made
whole. So In this waiting for Industrial
quickening and energy, it is the enter
prise which steps in boldly, for the wat
ers are troubled even now, that shall
come out strong and healthy. There Is
more stir and movement about our peo-
pie today, than has been seen for many
. years. All we want is little movement
away from our old inaotions. Immigra-
ton Ia seeking southwestern homes and
investments. Let them come. Let them
be encouraged to come. Let induce
ments be given them to come. Let no
means be left untried to secure their
coming. Let Us 60 out into the blizzard
blown regions,an fairly compel them to
come. Anything so long as they come.
With their coming comes capital, indus
try, a market for consumption Of home
products, manufacturing plants, more
people and the end of all, no boom but
great prosperity.
