Wrong Again.

The Express on Tuesday in it's city
council proceedings has the following
erroneous report.
SPY Guerguin: That site for dump
ing the dirt from excavations be selected
and purchased by the city on the west
side of San Pedro creek, and 5000 APP
propriated for that purpose. Referred
to finance committee and a site commit
tee of four"
Today it says:
alderman Guerguin has been mis-
quoted by the evening papers. The res
olution which he presented to the coun-
oil Monday bearing on the disposition of
filth and garbage was this: "Resolved,
That site for the deposit and crema-
ton of garbage on the west side of San
Pedro creek be purchased by the city,
and that the sum of 5000, or so much
thereof as may be necessary, be and
hereby is appropriated for same" It's
very strange that some reporters can't
get even the simplest thing right"
Yes, 1t Is strange how the Express re-
porters get mixed and that they forget
the old adage, "ThOse who live in glass
houses should never throw stones" This
endeavor to throw responsibility. upon
the evening papers for its own blunder
Is as weak as it Is dishonest.

La Belle Francois.

Guesseppi Sarro Is an Italian fruit
vendor at the corner of Commerce and
Main plaza and few weeks ago he
married French maiden. He fondly
hoped that all the joys Of matrimony
were his, but he was mistaken. La
Belle Francois was ambitious and secure
in the love, affection and privileges of q
wife, she insisted that he should clothe
her in silks and other things due to q
woman of position, and buy her horse
and buggy. Sarro plainly, but lovingly
intimated that this could only be done
at the expense of his bankruptcy, II it
could be done at all, and soon after the
bride was missing and 1t was found she
had migrated to Louisiana. Sarro has
now an idea that he can do without her,
and therefore he begs that Judge
Noonan will sever the bonds that bind
him to his runaway bride.

THE VOICE SPEAKS.

Something Bearing on Big Bertha's
CourtShip and Marriage.
The Jewish Voice, q paper for the
Hebrew reading public, published at st.
Louis, in its copy of April 9th, has a
letter from its correspondent in San
Francisco, bearing upon the case OF Mrs.
Stanley alias Bertha Heyman, alias big
Bertha" Evidently the correspondent
did not know of the flight and subse-
quent arrest Of Bertha in San Antonio.
DR.. Messing, referred to, Is the Rabbi in
San Francisco. He says:
DR.. Messing has = unced 1t from
his pulpit, tho tother-in-law's
brother, the .ooI Mr.. Gruhn of this
city, is engaged 10 be married to Mrs.
Stanley.
Who 10 Mrs. Stanley? Well, 1t is a
long Messeh. She married gentleman
by the name Of Mr.. Stanley. He did
not exactly frequent the Chassidim
Stibel. but rather the Catholic church.
He had plenty OF coin, and son by his
departed Mrs. Stanley, and he fell in
love with Jewess-the present Mrs.
Stanley. He died-which was very
proper-and the widow became, not
only rich, but Independent. DR.. Mes
sing, who finds out all things, found
Mrs. Stanley, and Mrs. Stanley was at
once made to feel the glory of Judaism,
was made to frequent DR.. Messing's
schulz, was made to offer one thousand
dollars cash to have that schulz frescoed,
was made to meet the sfore mentioned
Mr.. Gruhn, was made to fall in love with
that gentleman-and DR.. Messing an
nounced it from his pulpit that Judaism
is not dead, that Judaism may still hope
to see itself gloritied among the Cen
tiles, since they had the good
fortune to secure such a treasure,
not only for a member OF that schulz,
but Oh! much more. That treasure is
to be treasured by near relation of his,
and thus, "wird es bleiben in der Mis-
pochoh." But 10, you forget a point,
my.dear friend. Mrs. Stanley has q son,
Mr.. Stanley Is not poor, Oh! he Is rich,
but the Nobel never sang about him,
voOner loUh t'domay ioh chayee; but he
loves the Jews, nay, even the JewesFes,
and especially particular Jewess.

THE Orange Tribune fails to see the
real need of two conventions and voices
its perplexity as follows:
"What ia puzzling the brains OF a
great many people In Texas in the pres
emit day is, why could not the state nom
nations and the selecting of delegates
to the national convention all have been
attended to at one conventions? The
work would not be too much for one con-
ventioD, but then there would be more
setting them up at two conventions"
1t ia not the work but the time of doing
that is objected to by those who advo-
cate two conventions. By party rulings
it is made imperatively necessary to
hold conventions for choosing delegates
. certain number Of days before the con-
ventiOns assemble. This necessitates
the holding Of state conventions to elect
national delegates quite early In the
summer, too early to get the sense OF
communities concerning state officers.
This Is the reason generally given. The
LIGHT objects to the holding Of two con-
ventiOns at once, because 1t involves
questions of state politics with the Sc
lection of representatives to the national
assembly, and the LIGHT does not be-
lieve 1t wise to cOmplicate state cleo
tions or the selection Of national dele
gates in that way.

The latest advices from New York
are to the effect that Conkling's chances
are somewhat improved since the all
ministration Of heavy doses Of opiates,
which have allsyed the delirium and To-
duoed sleep. II he lives three days, so
say his physicians, he may recover.
Conkling represents the old three. term
guard which battled so royalty for
Grants denomination for third term.
He is the embodiment Of the opposition
to Mr.. Blaine, and though not himself a
mugwump, has been their great depend
ence In preventing that foremost of all
Americans from entering the white
house. His death will leave gap In
the ranks of the old guard that will
never be filled. As factor In American
politics Mr.. Conkling's day has passed.
He deliberately ehelved himself when by
retiring from the senate he endangered
the republican party in congress, and
when such men commit political suicide
in that way there is no resurrection for
them. Mr.. Conkling's illness concerns
his personal friends, not the country at
large.
