City Amateur League,

Communicated
Lively steps are now taken towards
the organization of the "City ANA
teur League"
AS San Antonio will probably not
have a professional team this season,
the local amateur ball players are
therefore endeavOring to organize the
Amateur League, in order TO keep up
the game, so much admired by our
people.
The League shall consist of six
clubs, home talent only, which can be
easily made success, if the games
are we'll patronized and little tinan-
cial aid forwarded to pay the ex-
penses. This being an amateur"
league, it will therefore not require
much at all, as every player is of the
city and only plays ball for the sake
of enjoyment and not as a profess
sion.
Stating that the players are simply
amateurs, it is therefore not said that
San Antonio shall not have good
games this season. She will, indeed,
as there being many good ball play
ers here, born and raised in the city,
who have clubs organized, ready to
join the League, and which promise to
put up games to equal many of those
played by the professionals here last
Misunderstanding the clubs.
1t is therefore assured, that San
Antonio will have good ball games
this season, put up by home talent.
Let every admirer of the sport attend
the games in the future and help the
League whenever it is possible; it
will not be much, as stated above, the
players being all amateurs, there
fore are not seeking for money
making scheme" but for an amusing
sport. All asked, is to have the
games we'll patronized, so as to pay
the necessary" expenses, and that it
may not be too "hard" on the players;
they are willing to form clubs, organ
ize the League and put up ball games
worth seeing; let the public of the
city return the compliments by pa
trOnizing the games we'll. This re-
quest is not at all too much to fill.
The clubs that are to compose the
League, are the Little Jokers,
Browns, Mackeys, Little Dixies, Mis-
sions and the Dry Goods nine; these
are all well-matched teams and
doubtless good games will be the re-
suit.
1t is hoped that the next meeting of
the League directors will be we'll at
tended by prominent men of the city,
who are able and willing to give the
League a lift. Due notice will be
given for time and place of meeting.
Next Sunday, if weather permits,
the Little Jokers and Browns will
cross bats for the first time of the
season.

PulItam Tackles an Editor.

Editor LIGHT.
From one or two editorials in the
Times it seems that friend Furguson
thinks he was badly treated at the
Turner hall meeting Tuesday night.
He says he was invited to the stage
to reply to Judge Grothaus' remarks,
which he construed as personal at
tack upon his honesty. And in his
editorials charges those who invited
him to the stage, with unfairness,
and ungentlemanly conduct in not al
lowing him to speak after he had ar
rived on the rOstrum. The facts are,
that I, as an individual friend of Mr..
Ferguson, saw that by his logged
persistence in attempting to force
hearing upon the audience, of his re-
ply to Judge Grothaus, would
result in a disturbance of the peace
and harmony of the meeting,
and an effort to eject him from the
hall, which would undoubtedly have
caused him and his friends to be
roughly handled. Wishing to pre-
vent such a result, I appealed to him
to accompany me to the stage, as the
only means by which 1 could remove
him from the excited crowd who would
have attempted to force him to keep
quiet or leave the hall. I knew he
would have no more chance of being
heard from the stage than from
the rear of the hall, but he would not
suffer the consequences of his rash
ness from those upon the stage as he
might in the position he occupied,
and being peace-lOving man
and warm personal friend
of Mr.. VIM. Ferguson, as well as
the men who would have put him
down, or out, and not wishing any
one to carry away from our ratitica-
ton meeting any "souvenirs" IN the
shape of artistically colored optics or
claret-prOducing olfactOries, |, as an
individual friend, and not as a mem
Der of the Reform club invited the
gentleman to accompany me to the
stage. Mr.. Ferguson fully understood
my action, and has on two subse,
quent occasions assured ME of his APP
probation of my course to prevent any
i'll consequences, which might have
arisen from his rashness. 1 will say,
however, that if in the future, he OF
any other Of my friends place them
selves in a like position they may
take the consequences Of their
temerity. l.. T. PULLIAM.

Working for the Boss,

From Alderman Gallaghers speech at the
ratification meeting:
"Talk of offensive partisans, look at
poor little Bruni working hard in
bringing in citizens, putting in his
time as market master in making
voters for the boss. I see that there
was Callaghan meeting at the Cock
Pit saloon when Officer Alejo Perez
presided, and it is sad to see sick
man putting in time as a politician
when he should be on duty. Mayor
Callaghan, Shardein and others were
there at the time, all working for the
poor people (laughter). Can you
Stand idly by when the employees
are working ike Trojans for the boss?
Just watch these men and see how
hard they work for the dear friend,
the boss, and think what it costs the

ANOTHER SPIKE DRIVEN.

In the City Administrators Coffin.
In spite of rain and mud the Re-
| formers always have well attended
meetings, which can not be said OF
the opposition ticket. Wednesday
evening they had a big meeting out
on the Rock Quarry road and endors-
ed the Reform ticket and last night
they drew a big crowd Of citizens of
the Third ward at the meeting out on
Medina street. Mr.. Edward Dwyer
made the first speech and after COM
pairing the men on each ticket, which
showed up very badly for the CAL
laghan crowd, he charged the city
administration with woful incapaci-
ty and antagonism to progress. He
said the only way to break down the
power of the despot was to stand to-
gether on next Monday and vote for
the Reform ticket.
Mr.. Eugenio Rodriguez next spoke
in Spanish, there being large num-
Der of Mexican citizens present. He
showed what very poor chance the
laborers had in getting work from the
present city administration, unless
they drove carts owned by rich men.
He urged the MeXicans to think and
act for themselves and not, as hereto
fore, be driven to the polls and voted
like so many sheep. He advised them
to support the Reform ticket next
Monday, and at the conclusion of his
speech was roundly applauded.
Mr.. Perry Lewis next spoke. He
told how the mayor, Callaghan, was
really in favor of treating railroad
men, having said to him two years
ago, "To HI with the railroad men,"
This was on the occasion of the meet
ing of the National association of rail-
way brakemen in this city. A public
meeting had been held by the citizens
and himself. Mr.. Gallagher and John
Cavanaugh were appointed to solicit
funds to entertain them. They went to
the mayor, and instead of subscribing
something, they met with his remark,
"To HI with the railroad men, and
now he was asking these same rail-
road men to vote for him. He even
refused to deliver the speech of well
come to them, when they had their
banquet at Mission garden.
After Mr.. Lewis strong speech
which was warmly applauded,
speeches were made by Mr.. Bart
Crowther, Alderman Gallagher and
others, and amid much enthusiasm,
the meeting closed, after endorsing
the Reform ticket

He is Bought,

The respectable colored people are
warned to look sharp for jet black
niger, wearing a white stiff hat,
with a scaley skin like his con-
science, having the appearance as if
barrel, has snag teeth in front, sneak
ing look, would steal if not watched.
Keepyour eye on him. He is a black
Judas, and has been bought by the
administration crowd. He was hang
ing around the Kampmann building
yesterday waiting for money.

A Farewell to Ezra F. Kendall and a
Welcome for Lotta.

A Farewell to Ezra F. Kendall and a
Welcome for Lotta.
A small audience appeared at the
opera house last night to witness
Ezra f. Kendall's final presentation
of his play, "a Pair of Kids" Those
present were amused, however,
though there were no more salient
points in the play than those already
pointed out in this paper.
Tonight the great soubrette Lolita"
will appear. Seats have been selling
very fast for this engagement, and
are still rapidly selling for the three
performances, for she will appear at
a matinee tomorrow and at a per-
Torrance tomorrow night. OF Lolita
the New Orleans TimesDemocrat
says:
Zone of the largest audiences
of the season filled the Grand opera
house last night to welcome Lolita
back to New Orleans. Not only was
every seat in the house occupied be-
fore the rise of the curtain, but very
large proportion of the standing room
was filled. OF Lolita herself
it is almost unnecessary to write.
Everyone knows that in her peculiar
line she is absolutely inimitable; that
she knows how to be funny not only
with her face, but with hands and
feet as well. She can sing accepta bly,,
can dance cleverly, and can do more
funny, quaint tricks in five minutes
than can any of her imitators in
whole performance"

Attempted ImposItion,

Some time ago a residen of the city
made claim upon a railroad COM
pany for the loss OF a box. Soon after
the box was found, and on being ex-
amined it was found that the goods in
the box were not worth one-half of
the amount claimed. The claimant
has his box and the company have
made a material saving, but this
serves to show how railroad COM
panies are imposed on.

Bound to Die.

In his speech at the Young Mems
Reform club ratification meeting AL
derman Gallagher said, "some few
days ago the equal rights ticket as
tOnished us. Two or three got to-
gether in a corner-perhaps in the
mayors office-Iike the three witches
in Macbeth, and from the Internal
cauldrOn the equal rights ticket was
got out. Now they want you to vote
for it. OF course you'll vote it down.
They have no platform, and they
don't want it for it would sink them;
anyway they will go down. 1 am re-
minded of fable which I'll tell you:
A bear once saw a walrus lying on
the sea shore and got on it's back. The
walrus slowly went out to sea, carry
ing the bear with it. 1t was all very
we'll for a time, but the bear got hun
cry and thus argued: "If I eat the
walrus I'll drown, if don't eat it I'll
starve to death" That's just the pO-
sition Of the Callaghan administra-
ton now. It's got to die anyway.

Lies Nailed.

The following manly card from Mr..
Bart Crowther was sent to the Times
and is worthy of being printed where
it will be read. Here it is:
Editor Times:
On two evenings your paper has
charged that money is being paid to
MeXicans on Military plaza to control
their votes, the first named Mr.. Ro-
bard's office, and the last spoke Of the
office of a prominent cotton buyer,
which taken in connection with the
first, clearly alludes to the same place.
AS | am the active worker at that Of
flee with the MeXicans. among whom
| have many friends, it is plain the al
fusion is to me, though for some rea-
son my name has not been used.
deny emphatically that l have paid
any Mexican or negro cent to vote
for Mr.. French and [ challenge the
proof. My business, as a buyer of
hides, pecans and cotton for Mr. RO
bards, neCesstates my paying MeXi-
cans and others considerable sums Of
money, the pecans and hides being
often bought in small lots and paid for
out of my pocket. Some interested
person has dou btIess seen a transac-
ton of this kind and jumped to the
conclusion that [ have been using
money corruptly. In conclusion de-
sire to say that l am working jealous
ly and openly for Mr.. French's cause,
and all ask is Glands off" If the
administration want some facts with
regard to previous elections which are
within my knowledge 1 shall be
pleased to furnish them.

Their Business Booming.

Probably no one thing has caused such a
general revival of trade at Dreiss, Thompson
& Co.'s drug store as their giving away to
their customers of 50 many free bottles of DR..
Kings New Discovery for Consumption.
Their trade is simply enormous in his very
valuable article from the fact that it always
cures and never disaDponts. Coughs Colds,
Asthma, Bronchitis, Group, and all throat
diseases quickly cured. You can test it be-
fore buying by getting a trial bottle free,

Evening capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1888-1893, 1889-04-08

The following, from an unknown
source, contains advice which expert
enced business men indorse and
young men will do well to follow:
Have but one business, know it
thoroughly, and attend personally
to its minutest details. BE self
reliant, concentrate your energies i'm
a determination and supreme effort
to conquer success. Keep your own
counsel, attend strictly to business,
and never dabble in any thing for
eign to it, curtail your expenses,
never sacrifice safety to prospective
large returns, cut short your losses
and let your profits run on, and
make your prime movers industry,
economy aud fair dealing. 1t is the
merest rant and bosh torely on luck.
He is always indocnt and whining.
folding his arms, drinking and
smoking, waiting for big prizes in
lotteries, or lying abed expecting
letter with news of legacy. On
the contrary, labor aud pluck are
the invincible heroes who conquer
success; they strike out new paths,
create, contrivc, think, plan, origl-
nate, take all legitimate risks, toll to
surmount obstacles, push forward,
win renown by success. The
glorious galaxy Of succ. sscul business
men and iIlustrious authors have al
been hard workers. Shuu bad com
pany and the prevalent vices of the
day, never loan a borrowing friend
more than you are able to lose if he
can not pay, and never take a loan
IN opportunity. Never borrow
money to speculate with. Acquire
knowledge. It is only enlightened
men who successfully hold their
own with The surging masses who
throng the road to riches. Avoid
law and legal squabbIes of every
kind. In discussing business dis
agreements, keep cool. Make all
the money you can and do all the
good you can with it. remembering
that he who lives for himself alone
lives for the meanest man i'm crea-
ton. If engaged in public business
advertise it; be puuctual in meet
ing promised payments; keep short
accounts; settle often.
