THE FIRE-eoYs CELEBRATION,
The Rains Fail TO Dampen the Ardor
OF the San Antonio Fire De-
Dartment.

The Rains Fail TO Dampen the Ardor
OF the San Antonio Fire De-
partmsnt.
The fire department made arrange
ments to celebrate George Washington's
birthday and prepared good pro-
gramme for the celebration, but the
parade through the city had to be-
abandoned owing TO the bad weather.
In lieu OF that the members OF each
company assembled at their head
quarters and were inspected by the
foreman. This done they disbanded to
meet again on St...MRry's street at 10
o'clock. This was done and the repre-
sentative OF each com pany being In line
the forward" command was given and
the companies headed by the city band,
marched into Turner hall where an ex-
cellsnt cold lunch and liberal supply
OF beer was prepared for the boys.
The command" charge" being given, the
fire boys commenced lunch and demoi-
ished IL in a satisfactory way. This
done, Mr.. Ben MRuermRnn, foreman OF
the Hook and Ladder company, rose and
attended In suitable way to "the day
we celebrate" and to the wisdom OF the
fire boys 10 celebrating IL.
Fire Chief Duerler regretted TO see a
small attendance which he attributed to
the bad weather. He hoped that the
Fourth OF July celebration would be a
grand celebration, for then he hoped
that they would have a well equipped
department with the engines new hose
casts and new hook and ladder truck,
and possibly they might have the fire
alarm system. He called attention to il,
as exhibited In the hall by the Came
well Fire Alarm Telegraph company OF
New York, and explained its working In
Galveston, Fort Worth, Dallas, and even
little Austin was provided with this
good system and 1t WAS only matter OF
time when San Antonio would be
equally fortunate. He concluded by out
lining the proposed Fourth OF July cele-
bration and asking the cooperation OF
the boys to make IL a great success. The
fire chiefs speech was received with
three cheers and tiger.
A meeting of this character would be
Incomplete without speech from Ed.
Braden, and he was there and SO was his
speech. He congratulated the boys upon
their patriotism and compared the old
fire department with the new in his own
quaint way.
Alderman Conner was detected there
and hustled on the cnalr ana delivered
one Of his usually effective addresses. 1t
consisted in his grasping beer mug
and saying, Here's to you, may you al
ways do In the future as in the past, and
always be prompt when the bells ring"
Mr.. 4. III. Abbott, foreman Of the Mis-
sion Hose company, Justice Barnes,
Phillip Manger, foreman OF the Sunset
Hose company, delivered brief addres-
ses. The latter took the LIGHT to task
because 1t designated Mr.. Duerler by
his official title Fire Chief Duerler."
forgetting at the same time that the
LIGHT and its staff are the best friends
that the fire department has.
During the meeting the city band dis
coursed pretty music and the new BOu-
LANCER march was much admired.
Tonight at s O'Clock the department
will give ball at Turner hall and the
fun will be continued.

A WOMAN'S OPINION.
The Light Commended in the Rosa
Schmidt Case-A Good Sug-
gestion.


Daily LIGHT:
At last Texas is awakening to Its
abuses, and in your stirring editorial of
Monday you have taken the "bull by
the horns.,,' and task the system instead
OF irresponsible individuals. OF course,
| refer to the latest sensation, that of
Rosa Schmidt, and now that you have
got your pen into such good order hope
you will not cease with "well doing"
but keep right on in the same track.
That this case is most terrible exam
pie of the possibilities of power put into
tue hands Of executors of the law, is at
once admitted, but this case happened
to come to light. (No pun intended)
TO those who are not wilfully or
ignOrahtly blind, many cases could be
found that would curdle the blood of the
viTtuous, upright and respectable citi-
Zen. That Texas has much vet to do
in this line TO relieve herself from the
Odium she now labOTs under. through
incompetent official adventurous and the
ike, is true, and II this unfortunate,
humble girl Is to be the instrument In
any way Of bringing in q better cOnd-
tiOn, she need not hide her head in
shame, fC- all honorable citizens who
have the welfare of the common wealth
at heart will ever be ready to aid and
encourage her.
That the Womans' Exchange should
come forward so nO6ly is of course to be
expected of them, for the funda-
mental principle of their Organiza-
ton is humanity to women, and well
may San Antonio acknowledge the oul-
tured philanthropy OF these ladies. |
see they ask for money to be contrib
uted TO aid this penniless and helpless
girl. That is well, and l shall send my
mite with willing heart, but TO one
who has proved herself so easily the
dupe OF designing men, would it be
wise to give her money? Would IL not
be more wise in these ladies to try TO
procure her home fer away from this
scene Of her disgrace, where surround
ed by good home Influences, she can for
get this sad episode in her life, and be-
come an hOnOred and respected woman?
| hRve.nO doubt there are those who
would take her and at least give her the
opportunity.
II she can feel that these ladies are
true friends, interested in her welfare, If
she has one particle OF good in her, she
will appreciate this opportunity offered.
What is needed right here in San An
tonic is more earnest efforts by women,
for women, and many ian unfortunate"
could be snatched from the vortex of
utter ruin, if she could feel the kind
| friendly hand Of women held out to her
in trying moment. Women of the ex-
change! you have a noble work laid out
before you, one that constant blessings
follow. May you be strong in your
hna &c Il HI
support so necessary to aid you in your
| good work.
Mr.. Editor, have wandered little
and written more than intended, bat |
| hope you, too, may continue, not in a
| csptiOus sense, but In q fesrfully ear
nest one, to go forward exposing wrong
doing wherever you find 1t, be it in high
or low places, until our city can be
classed as pure In morals as In atmOs-
phere, is the prayer OF your correspond
ent. A WOMAN.

Fortune seldom arrives at the oppor-
| tune moment. but Mr.. Frank Elliott Is
| one Of those who have been smiled upon
| by that tickle dame 10 one Of her moss
oapriciOus moments. "ln the early part
OF last month" remarked Mr. Elliott, In
speaking Of his good luck, II had just
finished contract with a prominent
levee contractor OF this city and found
myself with no immediate pros
poets OF other lucrative busi-
ness. On going to the State Female
college, where my brothers re-
sides / found my sister-in law and
young lady OF her acquaintance Willing
away rather quiet evening. A sooiable
game of cards WAS proposed to enliven
things. and | took hand. Good
nRtured bRntering and offers to bet were
frequently made, and the young lady
finally offered to wager the contents of
her purse, and lsugbiDgly displayed 80
cents. My sisteT-in-law remarked, Just
one-third of a dollar; suppose we each
contribute 80 cents and get Louisiana
Lottery ticket This was readily agreed.
and | gave 40 cent?, the surplus 10 cents
to be used as q car fare by the young
lady who was considered the mascotte
Of the trio. 0ne-tenth Of ticket No. 49,
442 WAS bought aud on the 10th day Of
January last the drawing took place."
Mr.. Elliott paused moment to re-
member the manifestations OF the little
party when the result Of the drawing
was published on the following day.
"Our ticket entitled the holders TO Sl5.-
Geo, ene-tenth Of the capital prize OF
$l50.000. No trouble was experienced
in collecting the money. The ticket was
deposited In the Memphis National
Bank and forwarded to New Orleans. A
sight draft for co was received few
days afterward, and each OF the party
got 5000"
When asked what he intended to do
with his newly acquired wealth, Mr..
Elliott said: ~ have not decided yet,
but will doubtless invest it in real estate.
This lie what my sister-in-lsw and the
young lady are going TO do"

are subjected to q great outrage by the
city officials, indirectly, In being COM
PEELED to get off street car In the mud,
because the city council has recently
passed snrordinanee prohibiting street
car drivers 10 stop their cars except on
the far crossing of any street. Many
streets have but one crossing and when
the car is approaching 1t, the driver Is
not allowed by the wise (0 city officials,
from stopping upon it to allow pRssen-
gers to alighI under pain Of immediate
arrest. Why the ordinance was drafted
originally no one knows except those
Immediately gratiied at this additional
persecution of Col. Belknap, but there
certainly was no great public demand
for such an ordinance, and the sooner IL
is repealed, the better will its daddies

NEURALGIA,

Msrves.-Were it possible to observe the
misery of the world in some concrete
form, nothing ever conceived would
surpass its horrors. Every one Of the
thread-like nerves have each q latent
power to cause excruciating pain, the
limit Of which Is simply the limit OF
human endurance. Think Of the tooth
ache, with single little nerve at work
to drive one crazy; think Of NEURALGIA,
with few OF these fibrous tormenb
all pulsing painfully at once, and thsa
reflect that at the same moment thou
sands, tens Of thousands, perhaps mil
lions, are suffering alike.

Symptoms.-Neuralgia is defined TO be
nerve disease, the chief symptom Of
which is very acute pain. intermitting,
which follows the course of the nerve
