If Work G Well.

Major Campbell's new Postoffice
Exchange, near the opera house, has
a neat arrangement to warn gentle
men who rush out of the theatre be-
tween acts to get a good drink of
something, of the rising of the curtain.
An electric bell, connecting by wire
with the opera house, has been placed
in the saloon, and five minutes before
the curtain goes up on another act,
the button is pressed at the opera
house and the bell at the saloon rings.
This handy little bell was put in
the saloon by Van Meter, the we'll
known electrician, and shows that
gentleman to be quite genius, as
we'll as skillful mechanic. His idea is
something new for San Antonio, and
he says he can readily supply all sa-
looms, club houses,o or even private res
licences with these annunciators at a
nominal cost.

BEETHOVEN MAENNERCHOR
Concert at Mission Garden.

The concert given by the Beethoven
Maennerchor at the Mission garden
last night was i'm every sense a sue
cess, and was one of the best of the
united work of the orchestra and
Maennerchor.
These societies which have so large
ly contributed to the musical culture
of San Antonio, and have generously
assisted in many philanthrOpic enter
tainments, richly deserved the crowd
who fully enjoyed the delightful pro-
gramme under such favorable condi-
lions as the balmiest and clearest of
nights, and such a charming garden,
in which the German loves best to
drink in his music and his social beer.
The whole programme was so thor
oughly well rendered, and each selec-
ton was so happy, that it would be
almost impossible to point out one as
better than the other. They were
heartily applauded and were obliged
TO respond to several encOres. die
Post i'm Walde," with q cOrnet solo,
was something different from therest,
and the people were not satified with
once hearing it.
The proceeds of this concert 90 to-
wards paying expenses of the society
at the North American Saengerbund
festival in New Orleans, to which
they have been specially invited,
and which San Antonio feels to
be a double honor to herself and
her talented citizens, for they
will represent the whole South as
we'll as the Alamo City, being the
only southern society, who have been
requested to take part in the festival.

LAMBERT'S LEvANTING.

Something Farther About the
Young Man who Skipped.
1t was definitely ascertained last
night that Richard s. Lambert had
purchased ticket for Galveston and
had boarded the train for that city,
wherever he may have stopped. He
seems to have made hurried prepare
tions for his exit. He confidenced
Jeweller Rouvant out of $44 gold
chain and drew his balance of $500
from his bankers. His debts so far
as known foot up about $1,000. Of
this amount he owes his wife So, sos,
his brOther-in-law A. j. G. Matter
81 800 and his general creditors So, $50.
He leaves a wife, whom he married
two years ago, and one child, as
well as his creditors, in the lurch.
The missing man has not returned
to-day, and it is not expected that
he will. There is an ugly rumor
going the rounds of the streets to the
effect that a drummer who was for
merly a clerk in New Orleans i'm the
same store with Lambert, dropped
in yesterday and recognized him as
the same man, saying his name was
Hugely, and that he had a wife and
four children in New Orleans. Many
people are putting credit in this sto-
ry, while others, more conservative,
doubt the truth of it. The general
opinions that Lambert has gone to
Mexico.

SCIENTIFIC AGRICULTURE.

At the recent meeting of the society
for the promotion of agricultural
science Prof. M. A. Scovell, director
of the Kentucky Experiment station,
reported results o, experiments with
potash salts on potatoes. These salts
were applied as fel tilizer, but they
appeared to have the effect of pre-
venting the ravages of the potato
blight. So marked was this that
special pains were taken to note the
effect upon all the plats in the expert
ment. The general result of this sim
gle test was that potash salts appear
to be a specific for this dread disease.
Mr.. G. M. Weed, entomologist to
the Ohio Experiment station, present.
ed some notes on "An experiment in
preventing the injuries of the potato
rot"
The following provisional conclu-
sions were announced.
l. That large proportion of the in
jury done by potato rot can be pre-
ven ted by spraying the vines with the
Bordeaux mixture.
2. That the treatment apparently
diminishes the amount of the scab af-
fecting the tubers.
3. That by adding London purple to
the mixture, the same treatment may
be made effective in preventing the
injuries of both the rot and the Col
RADIO beetle.
In the Bordeaux mixture there were
used six pounds of copper sulphate
and tour pounds of lime to fifty gallons
of water, instead of twenty-five gallons
as ordinarily recommended. London
purple was added to the solution in
the proportion of one ounce to ten gal
Ions. This was found of sufficient
strength to completely clear off the
beetles.
Four applications of the Bordeaux
mixture were made, but London pur-
pie was added to the first two only.
The first application was made May
IS, the second June 6, the third June
20 and the fourth July Is.

DR.. w. H. Wiley, chemist of the
United States Department ofAgricul-
ture, reported the result of an elabo-
rate and paintaking investigation of
sorghum seed for food. He presented
an exhaustive table showing the
comparative value of this seed with
wheat, Indian corn and oats.
The nutritive value of the above
ranks as follows: l, wheat; 2, sorg-
hum; 8, Indian corn; 4, unhulled

Prof. G. E. Bersey discussed "the
grass problem of Nebraska" He
described the localities where the
buffalo grass is still found, and spoke
of the comparative merits of the wild
native grasses. which are most high
ly esteemed by ranchmen.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2s,-LSpecial. l-Presi-
dent Harrison has not yet issued his procla-
nation and he don't know whether he will
wait for Montana or 60 ahead without wait
ing TO hear from the returns from that ter
ritory. II is said here that the delay is
caused by Russell b, Harrison, who wants
Montana held back until he forces those
anxious for admission to pledge him GER
tain support, whether for United States
senator or for future state patronage can
not be said. II the returns of Montana are
forwarded and protest laid before the
president as 10 irregularities in the count,
he can either say he has no authority to 90
behind the returns, as they are attested by
the secretary and governor, or in case young
Harrison wants the matter held up, he may
claim he desires time TO investigate the
irregularity.
Senator Pettinew, Of South Dakota,
called ON the president this morning, but
could get no satisfaction out of him as TO
the probable time of the proclamation or
whether all the states would be included in
one document, or each state singly. The
president said he would get around 10 the
matter after awhile.

KANSAS Cry. Oct 2s.-Mayor Davenport
this afternoon slapped Congressman Tars-

shot. II was all ON account of the enter
tainment of the All-American tourists. The
mayor had vetoed, on the ground of uncon
stitutionality, mn ordinance passed by the
city council appropriating $1,000 for their
entertainment. The council passed il over
his veto again, and then the mayor ordered
the city treasurer not TO recognize the
drafts upon the treasury for that purpose.
Al n meeting of the committee at the Com
mercial club this afternoon Congressman
rarsney referred to the mayors action in
uncomplimentary terms. Mayor Daven-
port replied that IL he could help il not a
cent OF the city's money would be used H.
legally, but he would contribute from his
pocket us much as Tarsney or any other
man for the entertainment. Tarsney re-

ST. PAUL, Oct. pa Pioneer Press
Washington special says; There is a report
here that the proclamation of the president
is delayed in all the states, and in Montana
as well, at the instance of Russell B. Harri-
son. who is figuring for something. If
Montana is delayed it is more than likely
that the men who are anxious TO have the
state admitted will promise young
Mr.. Harrison anything he may
ask, TO get him 20 use his influence with his
distinguished sire. II is even intimated
this influence is to be extended to secure
the cooperation of the other new states
The scheme looks plausible, but il is not
likely the president would lend himself to
any such suggestion, especially il the re-
turns are sent in from Montana. and there
is really no cause for further delay.
Senator Pettigrew, of South Dakota, to-
day asked the president for an opinion upon
the Montana matter, but be declined TO ex-
press himself
