A False Alarm,

The alarm of fire which startled the
city and brought the firemen in hot
haste to their company quarters at
1890 last night, was a false one,
raised by some hoodlums on Com
merce street. The names Of these
smartees are Walter Lovin, Harry
Brady and Edward Hughes and they
all deserve the punishment that the
law will permit for their lawless act.
One fireman living nearly two miles
out came into town at pace most
killing to horse flesh only to find that
he had been made the dupe of some
thoughtless boys. San Antonio fire
department. has no superior among
the voluntary fire departments Of
this country, and they should not be
required to turn out from a sound
sleep, after a hard days work, by
righteousness or recklessness. The
offence may seem light to an unre-
flecting mind but it is a grave one
and threatens the very efficiency OF
the fire department itself and con-
sequently the security of the city.

The quality of John Sherman's
craftsmanship has ripened since the
last republican national convention
to a point where there is only so
much of partisanship left in it as to
give a flavor and a character from the
earnest convictions he has always ex-
perienced in politics. He is without
doubt the broadcast statesman in our
politics to-day.

AN UGLY DISCOVERY.
A Report that should Re Read.

"A recent analyzation in Philadelphia by q
celebrated chemist OF ten popular brands OF
Sarsaparilla discloses the astonishing fact
that these ten samples of blood purifiers ~
contained in the aggregate sixteen different
minerals, eleven of which were active poi
sons. Iodide of Potash was discovered In
every sample, mercury was found In all but
two, while arsenic existed in six of the ten
brands Not one brand was the pure article" :"
A reporter took the above clipping to E. W.
Joy, the manufacturer of joys Vegetable sar-
saparilla. Mr.. Joy exhibited no surprise. He
said druggists knew it. He said he long ago
saw the crying need for a safe aud absolutely
pure vegetable preparation of Sarsapariila,
hence his was named joys Vegetable sarsapa-
rilla, because it contained nothing but pure
syrup OF sarsaparilla, combined with the pure
juices OF California's vegetable Alternatives.
Unlike potash sarsaparillas, 1t does not force
impurities through the skin, but stimulates
the various secretive organs, thereby correct
ing functional arrangements and eliminating
all impurities through the natural channels

A Negro Mathematician.

Sam Summers, the negro prodigy,
was in town recently, and, as usual,
entertained large crowd, who
were testing him with all kinds OF
mathematical problems. Summers
is negro "a years old, without the
slightest education. He cannot
read or write, and does not know
one figure from another. He is a
common farm hand, and to look at
him and watch his actions he seems
to be about half-witted, but his
quick and invariably correct answer
to any example in arithmetic, no
matter how difficult, is simply
wonderful. With the hundreds of
tests that he has submitted to, not a
single time has he failed to give the
correct answer In every instance.
Some examples given him were as
follows; How much gold can be
bought for S792 In greenbacks If
gold is worth $l.65? Multiply 597,-
3l2 by l3s. Ifa grain of wheat pro-
duces seven grains, and these be
sown the second year, each yielding
the same increase, how many
bushels will be produced at this
rate In twelve years, II 1000 grains

tions counted before you hear

merchant received seventy bags Of
wheat. each containing three

How many bushels did he receive?
And ~ on.

seem to be in favor Of the adoption
OF such a system as Is in vogue In
Canada, but the trouble is that the
different colonies are much more

Canada. 1t will make a rare
