A PluckyGirl.

CHICAGO, October A local paper
says: Miss Paul Rochester, delicate
ly formed young woman, with a re-
markably handsome face, and great
profusion of dark hair, arrived in Chi
cago yesterday. After having per-
formed an extraordinary mule back
journey of nearly 400 miles across the
wild and mountainous Central Ameri-
can Republic of Honduras. She came
directly from New Orleans, and after
remaining in this city few days, will
return to her home in New York, from
which she has been absent about a
year.

The Shadows of White Chapel.

LONDON, Oct. 1.-The excitement
caused by the recent murders of a
number of women in the eastern Sec
ton of London, increased this morn
ing, on the announcement that a
Waterman had been killed in the
shadow, by man who was in COM
pany with woman, and who was be-
ing Swallowed by the Waterman.
1t seems to appear that last
night the Waterman saw a
man and woman go behind a board
fence, erected in front of a building in
course of construction. Becoming
suspicious of the mans action the
Waterman followed the couple and
finally called a policeman. The man
then turned on the Waterman and
stabbed him to death. The murderer
was arrested after desperate strug-
gle.

UnscientIfic Fighters,

NEW YORK, Oct. Jack Lane, of
Brooklyn, and Jimmie Collins, of
Newark, n. j., fought nine terrific
rounds on the turf at Bensonhurst,
Long Island, this morning. The
fighting was fast and furious, and
very little science was displayed by
either of the combatants. In the
eighth round Collins broke his wrist
by sledge hammer blow on Lanes
head. Collins fought the ninth round
with hood hand, essaying to finish
the battle with a rush, and he did not
succeed. In the tenth round, Collins
was unable to go on, and the fight
was awarded to Lane.

The Street Car Situation.

CHICAGO, Oct. 4.-The conductors
and drivers of the north side will
probably have to strike Saturday, to
enforce their demand to shorten hours
and better pay. President Jerkes has
given out that the company has no
further proposition to offer, and that
it is ready to stand OH the ground it
has already taken, no matter what re-
suit. Maybe this means that the
north side car lines will be tied up for
an indefinite period. The company
can get new men to operate them.

That Nice Young Man.

Some days ago the LIGHT reported
the tact that Mr.. James Kennedy
late of the firm of Ragland and Ken
needy, had been robbed of his cloth
ing, check and money in New York.
Later information shows that the
landlady of the house where Mr.. Ken
nedy boarded asked him to accommo-
date very nice young man in his
room. Mr.. Kennedy, with his usual
kindness, gave a ready assent, aud
for time all went well. One morn
ing the nice young man arose quietly
before daylight, took Mr.. Kennedy's
clothes and all portable valuables he
could lay his hands on and quietly
left the house, since which time he
has not been seen nor heard of.
Among other things in Mr.. Kenne-
dy's clothes was a check for con-
siderable amount, but fortunately
payment of this was promptly stopped
and therefore the money is secure.

JOSKE BROS. DO 1T TOO.
The ladies all know that the poet
sang truly and wisely who sang:

''Of all tue charms dear woman wears
Ofal her many traps and snares
For real effect there's nOught compares
With truly pretty bonnet"
This sentiment was long since APP
preciated by the enterprising dry
goods firm which has recently
taken possession of the finest dry
goods sales room in Texas" Joske
Bros, but their old quarters did
not permit them to indulge the SEN
timent In their present elegant
rooms they have arranged for the
finest millinery display in the city,
and are prepared to demOnstrat the
truth of the poetical sentiment above
quoted. This department is in charge
Of Miss NJ. E. Thompson, New York
modiste of repute with decided tai
lent for ladies head gear. Miss
Thompson is thoroughly mistress
of her art, and well up
in all that pertains to the latest
Partisan as well as American styles,
as will be fully apparent on opening
day, which occurs some time early
next week, and of which due notice
will be given in these columns. On
that occasion she will show the ladies
of this city suberb display of Paris
shapes and English turbans as well
as of taking American styles,
and give them points as to
feathers and all else pertaining
to ultra fashionable hats. Miss
Thompson has a decided style of her
own, and her original ideas will be
found most serviceable to those who
do not care to follow fashion so much
as to lead out in some particularly
chic line for themselves. The ladies
will find her deft fingers perfectly at
home in giving that indescribable
something to their headwear which
marks the New York and Par
lis artistic as distinct from all others.
Joske Brothers have set out to make
their millinery department. the center
of all that is rich and stylish, to lead
the fashion in the southwest, and to
this end have directed all their eff
forts. May success attend them, is the
wish of the public in general and the
ladies in particular.

Promenade Concert,

Turner hall was filled with ladies
and gentleme" last night to attend
the promenade concert and hop given
by the ladies of San Fernando cathe-
dral. The hall was prettily decorated,
and the various booths, similar to
those always seen at a church fair,
were attended by matrons and misses
in great numbers, while little flower
girls passed around the hall selling
bouquets. The concert and entertain
ment possessed considerable merit,
the programme being as follows:
Trio........... Mrs. Favre, Mr. W. l.. Hertz aud
Prof. K. q. Guerrero.
Recitation, "BIngen on the Rhine. .......
..... ......... ......... Miss Gerte Dwyer
Vocal SOLO q. e. Mis- Marie Hernandez

Violin solo. ........................Mr Garcia

Recitation Get There Just the ,S Same a,
Piano duet 800. Miss Zulema Garcia and
Mrs. Verastegui
The sum of S46SS5 was realized by
the concert and fair, clear of all the
expenses, which is pretty good re-,
turn for one days work.
Mrs. J. f. Dryer, and ladies of the
fair desire the LIGHT to return their
thanks TO Gen. Stanley for the dona-
zion of the military band, 10 the ladies'
and gentlemen taking part in the con-
cert, to Goggan Bros. for The use Of
piano, and to the public at large.

Lively but Not Frantic.

CHICAGO, October 4.-There was
plenty of action of change at the open
ing this morning, but it was not char
acterized by the wild frenzy and
wicked jumps of cent or more, at a
time, which were the feature of yes
terday's trading. There was enough
uncertainty and movement to keep
traders guessing at lively rate, but
not enough to turn ones head grey in
a single quarter of an hour.

THE DOCTORS
Make Concessions to the Newspa-
per Men--A Report Of Their
Meeting.

per men--A lHSH
Meeting.
Another meeting of the calomel pre-
scribing fraternity was held in the
county court room last night, being
the special meeting announced in last
Thursdays LIGHT, to hear the report
of the special committee of five to in
vestigate the charges preferred
against nearly every member of the
fraternity, i. e.: advertising in the
LIGHT cases and operations. AS there
is practically no board of censors in
the city at present, this special conn
mittee, of which DR.. Cross was the
chairman, was appointed to act in
their stead. They investigated the
matter and last night made their re-
port generating all those charged
with advertising, etc., and then o
committee of four was appointed from
among the doctors TO confer with the
reporters of the LIGHT and the other
papers of the city, for the purpose Of
comforting as to some way in which
an amicable arrangement can be
reached between the medical fraterni-
ty and the reporters, in order that the
breach now existing may be closed.
The chair was occupied by Dr.
Z. W. johns. Nearly every doctor III
the city was present at the meeting.
DR.. f. Hertf, the president, is out OF
town.
The committee has not yet come
around to the LIGHT office. When
they come, the first concession the
doctors will be asked TO grant the re-
porters, is that hereafter all reporters
may be admitted to the meetings Of
the West Texas Medical association,
and secrecy abolished. Then the
LIGHT reporter will not be called on
to play 'jack-in-the-boX' and hide
and seek with janitors and search
committees to obtain the report of the
meetings, as heretofore.
AT the meeting last night some Of
the doctors were very nervous and
kept splitting out of the windows (?) in
order to see if LIGHT man wasn't
listening on the outside. But they
didn't look in the right place.

Counterfeit Stamps.

CHICAGO, Oct. 4.-Capt. Porter, of
the government secret service yester-
day found a number of clever imita-
tons of custom stamps, used on im-
ported cigars. The general appear
ance of counterfeit is excellent. The
difference is that on the original are
the words, manufactures of import
ed tobacco" and on the counterfeit
are the words, "manufacturer of
imported tobacco" The bogus stamps
are made by Scemacher and Ettlinger
of New York, and are not used TO
evade payment of duty, but are posted
upon boxes containing the inferior
domestic goods, in order to delude the
purchaser into the belief that he is
buying the genuine Havana weed.
The firm will be prosecuted. Chicago
inspector of police, John Bonfield, has
secured Judgment for $1,000 in Judge
Altgelt's court against DR.. Geo. B.
Cunningham for alleged libel.

II had been our purpose to give q
continuation Of the proceedings of the

we were unable to obtain them. Con.
sequenaly we can only lay before our
readers y synopsis.
After closing our report last Saturday
the convention met and adjourned
twice, taking several Intellectual ballots
Ia the meantime, and finally adjourned
over until Monday morning. -s1
Upon Resembling Monday morning
the dead lock was still on and nothing

Monday night when Judge Clinton
withdrew his name. -s a''.'
Judge A. A. Gunby IF Ouachita was

necessary two-tbirds vote an adjourn
sneat was taken until Tuesday MORN

pointed upon re.assembling but like
all previous conference committees
failed to agree. .-......- .-..-.
Al this stage Of the proceedings Judge
Gunby's name was withdrawn and the
conferences committee having reported
their failure ~ agree, the name of
Hon. Charles J. Boatner was presented
to the convention BY Judge 8. T. Baird
OF Morehonse. Upon the call of the
roll of parishes Mr.. Boatner received
PSI votes and was declared the nomi-
nee of the convention: Upon motion
OF Mr.. r.. III. Brown of Richland the
nomination was made unanimous. A

Messrs. Baird, Luce aud Beard were
appointed to notify Mr.. Boainer OF his
nomination, who, few minutes after
wards escorted him into the convention

minting our friends OF the hills that
the Telegraph repeatedly warned them
of the danger and begged them to take
action before 1t was too late. This
they refused to do. ~ rf ...s
1t is too late to kick now.

the nominee, nor can we bolt the &C.
ton Of the Convention. I'M ss.s = nj +.
The. Telegraph desires to put itself
upon record, however, upon one or two
points. ~. y.,. I'll .-...--. .....
We cannot assent to the proposition
that the nomination Of any one man
was necessary to the unity aud har-
mony of the party. Neither can we
help viewing the nomination of non-
resident of the district as an innovation
upon established Southern custom. II
is true thst II Is frequently done In the
northwest and eastern cities, particu-
larIy in New York city, but we believe
this is the first time il has ever zen
done In the South. But this Is no legal
objection, the constitution of the Uni-
ted States simply requiring that Con-
gresham ssshatt be twenty five years
OF age and an inhabitant Of the State
from which he Is elected"
We .canuOt view the opposition 10
Mr.. Boatner at this time, therefore, Ia
any other light than as factIous aud
ill.timed. l. He had absolutely nothing
to do with the conditions which
brought about his nomination, he did
not seek il at any time, II was con ferred
by an almost Unanimous convention
and No win be elected.
