A LOGICAL ARGUMENT.

If man who becomes possessed of a
thousand dollars could only be made
realize how much farther the money
would 90 by exercising care, and look
ing around little, he would certainly
profit by it. There are in all cities
CT the size of San Antonio, many
enticing ways to spend your
money. Beautiful show windows in
which all manner of merchandise is
tastefully exhibited in order to catch
the eye of the passer-by, and induce
him to part with the precious dollar.
In no class of goods are the uninitia-
ted liable to spend their money fool
ishly as in Jewelry. You may get
good article and yet pay so per cent
too much for it. Suppose a person
goes to a first-class jewelry establish
ment and purchases from first hands
a watch costing 500, he wears said
watch three months and through
misfortune he is compelled to pledge
for $40; the man with whom the watch
is pledged can sell it for $50 and make
a good profit, and yet save the buyer
100 per cent. Now this is just what
Emerson & Co. on Soledad street can
frequently do for you. The watch
having been carried only a short time
is in reality worthjust as much as
ever, and the purchaser saves $50.
h. d Co. also loans money on collat-
teral, and when short they help the
boys over the bridge.

this city, now at Fort Davis for the
benefit of his health, dictates letter
to City Assessor Frasch stating that
his health has been very materially
benefited by the climate there, al
though his nervous prOstration pre-
vents his handling a pen as yet. Mr..
Miller will be remembered here from
1866 to 1870 and from 1881 to 1885. Be-
fore leaving for Chicago with Gen.

with nervous affection and some six
months since went to Fort Davis to

absolutely forbids. Mr.. Miller's
friends in this city will be glad to
learn that his health is improving
very sensibly at Fort Davis.

THE criticism of "RoX" in this issue
of the LIGHT is we'll worth perusing.
Did the LIGHT attempt any following
up of such articles as Rox refers to it's
columns would be fully occupied to
the exclusion of all else. The south
does not understand the north nor will
it for the next decade. Maj. Joe Stew
art, of the eX-Confederate Home at
Austin, who has been for months in
the north, has returned with the full
conviction that the only bloody shirt
waving is done at the south, that the
north is most anxious and willing to
destroy all sectional distinctions, that
it's heart and hand are open to the
south, and it is the south and not the
north which is perpetuating Sec
tional animosity. The Major said
in a conversation with the LIGHT,
only yesterday, that when he
went north he was, or thought he
was, as broad and unprecedented a
man as could he found, but that he
found his mistake. Right in little
New England he found a generosity
of feeling and a cordiality of express
sion toward the south for which he
was totally unprepared and of which
he did not dream. He said the war
seemed actually forgotten there and
that the whole mind of the people
seemed to be turned toward an en-
enlargement and cultivation of the
universal, national patriotism. To
such men as Major Stewart, who
have the ear of the south as republi-
cans have not, must the country look
for an opening of the eyes OF the
blind, for the unstopping of the ears
of the deaf and for the teaching of
wisdom to those who are void of I'M
derstandlng.

THE oldest living Mason has once
more come to light. This time he
stands good chance of remaining at
the head of the list, as it is not proba-
BILE that an older than he will be
found who will take his honors from
him. This man is Robert l.. Chester
of Tennessee, who has just completed
his ninety-sixth year, and has been
an enthusiastic Mason for three quar-
tiers of a century. Seventy-five years
a Mason is record of Masonic Ion
gevity that will very likely stand.
Mr.. Chester is still a vigorous man
and bids fair to fill the measure of four
score years of Masonic mem bership.

we purpose to build a line of railroads

LORD Pauncefote Says the United States

Lord Pauncefote Says the United States
and Canada Will Have One.
OT7AwA (Ont), October 3Oth.-Colonel
Tilton, Deputy Minister of Fisheries has
gone to Washington with important data in
connection with the Atlantic fisheries diff
ficulty, which he will submit and explain
to the British Minister, Sir Julian Paunce-
fote. Some time ago it was announced by
the Imperial authorities that the British
Minister at Washington had been invested
with full power TO settle the fisheries aues-
ton, as well as the Behring Sea and Alaska
boundaries questions.
Sir Julian appears to have lost no time
in getting to work. He at once eommuni-
Gated with the Government here, and Col
onel Tilton was sent with the information
to post the Minister as to what Canada's
contentious are.
Prominent Government officials speak
ing to your correspondent to day said the
Minister at Washington intimated to the
Dominion authorities that it is his inten-
ton to open negotiations with the Govern
ment of the United States for the framing
of new treaty, which will embrace all the
International disputes now pending, as
soon as he has mastered the facts and con-
tentions in connection with these questions.
The Government here look upon the ac-
ton of the British Government, in confer
ring full power to settle these questions on
an English Minister, with much favor.
Heretofore the negotiations have been
greatly impeded, owing to the laxity and
want Of interest shown by the home Gov
ernment.
Lord Pauncefote seems anxious to act in
harmony with the Canadian authorities,
and it is believed in official circles here
that.a new treaty will be negotiated within
the next six months.

He Brings Suit to Recover His Wife's In
surance.
WASHINGTON. October 50th. = Messrs.
Campbell and Sanderson, as the attorneys
of DR.. J. Milton Bowers, commenced
actions to day to recover the amount of
insurance on the life of his wife, Cecilia
Bowers, of whose murder he was con-
victed, but subsequently discharged, owing
to the decision of the Supreme Court grant
ing him new trial after four years incar-
ceration in the County Jail.
The defendants are the American Legion
of Honor for $1,000, the Order of Chosen
Friends for $1,000, and the knights and
Ladies of Honor for S., 1000.
Mrs. Bowers life was insured for $1,000
in favor of her husband, but since her
death two CT the Orders in which she was
insured have gone out of existence. They
are the Independent Order Of Chosen
Friends, in which she carried policy of
$1,000, and the Uniiar.an Order of Honor
for a like amount.
1t is said that the defendants have ex-
pressed willingness to pay the insurance
since DR.. Bowers has been liberated, but
that the latter considered it advisable to
take some action to prevent his claims
being void under the statute of limitations,
which runs four years after the death of the
insured. Mrs. Bowers died on December
l, 1885, and consequently his claims would
be barred on December 1st next, and since
it may take longer time to collect the in
surance, the present steps have been taken
to guard his interests.

It Would be Greatly Increased if the

WASHINGTON, October 30th.-Vice. Consul
Blackjack in his report on the American
trade in Samoa. says the largest amount of
cotton goods imported is of British manu-
facture, the principal trade being with the
British Colonies, with which the country
has the only steam connection. He speaks
of the recognized superiority of American
prints, etc., and says: There are many
lines in all classes of goods which can be
purchased to better advantage in the
United States which now our merchants
have to obtain from the English Colonies
for want of transportation from the United
States.
"If the mail steamers running from San
Francisco to New Zealand and Australia
called here good trade would be built up
in very short time with the United States
All the general merchandise now coming
by sail would come by steamer, and where
now only one or two of the larger firms are
able to import, every storekeeper in the
place could deal directly with San Fran
cisco. the same as they do now with the
Australian Colonies.
"Were the San Francisco and Australian
mail steamers to call here over half the
goods now imported from British ports
would come from the United States"

REAR ADMIRAL WALKER.
He is rendered a Farewell Dinner in
Washington.


Washington.
WASHINGTON, October 30th.-A farewell
dinner to Rear Admiral Walker, previous
to his departure to take command of the
new squadron, was given tonight. Several
informal speeches were made, and great
surprise was given Admiral Walker by
the reading of the letter prepared by Sec
retary Tracy in which the latter expressed
a strong sense of the lasting service which
Admiral Walker has rendered the Navy
Department during his term as Chief Of
the Bureau of Navigation.
The letter is extremely complimentary
in tone, and says it is peculiarly appropri-
ate at the close of his responsible duties
that Admiral Walker should be intrusted
with the command of the first squadron OF
the reconstructed navy.
The letter says: 1T is not in the power
of the Department to confer upon the Ad-
miral any higher distinction, and his selec-
ton was made not only from the knowl-
edge of his special fitness, but as recogni-
ton OF services hitherto performed"
The letter further says: There is much
still to be considered in determining the
direction of future naval development and
in the building up of system of fleet or
ganization adapted to modern conditions,
and the naval administration will be largely
guided in arriving at its conclusions by the
experience of tie new squadron"
