viii Lose Right of Way.

City Engineer Prefer says it will
cost only about $1,000 for the street
railway company to pave the road bed
of their track on Alamo plaza and AL
amo street to Commerce street. The
paving is now being laid along the
west side of Alamo plaza, where the
street car track was to be laid, while
the car track remains in the center of
the plaza, as usual, no effort being
made by the road management to-
ward laying the track along on the
paved plaza.
Mayor Callaghan says the city has
waited long enough for the car COM
pany to put their track along the west
side before the blocks were laid and
can wait no longer.
If the plaza is paved before the
street car track is laid the car COM
pany will surely lose their right of
way on that plaza and on Alamo
street, and it will seriously interfere
with their route to the Arkansas Pass
depot and the springs. 1t appears
that in this case delay has been dan
gerOuS.

Orders Two Pairs of Shoes.

Vanity, thy name is woman!
How the dainty maiden pinches her waist
and almost suffocates herself; how she bank
rupts herself in order to outshine her neigh
Dor in a new spring bonnet, and how she
frizzles and twists, powders and paints in
order to hook like something she is not, has
been told in as many languages as the confu
sion of Babel produced, and here is a new
fad of a certain fair one
THAT woman invariably does that" said a
Third avenue shoe dealer to a reporter, with
an amused expression, as a fair customer
tripped lightly out of his store today.
Does whatF the reporter inquired.
'Why, didn't you notice9 She asks for two
pairs of fine kid shoes, one pair of number
twos for herself, and the other, pair of
fives, for Jane Jane is her cook, and prob
ably never saw pair of 81 kid boots, except
her mistress old ones"
The reporter was still puzzled, and the To-
quacious shoe dealer continued:
i've sold that lady lots of goods during
the last five years, and she always has two
pairs sent home like that. Tomorrow or next
day she sends the twoS back with word that
they didn't suit her Now, she couldn't be-
gin to get her foot into two, but five just
fits her. Vanity! That's the whole secret. y

Pearl FoWler'S Case.

In mentioning the Pearl Fowler in
cident, this morning Chief of Police
Shardein said: 81 knew her mother
for years. She came to San Antonio
first with the first variety theatre.
That was Daisy Deans about IA years
ago. Joe Fowler, a gambler and des-
perado, was her husband then.
Pearl Fowler had not then been boIn q.
Joe Fowler, understand, was after
ward hung by the regulators or a
mob in New Mexico. The old woman
has lived in Austin for a number of
years and 1 understand from parties
in Austin that she has taught her
daughter from early childhood to beg
on the streets, and no doubt she has
taught her to do worse. Since Pearl
has been in Jail the old woman has
been several times to see her, and
wants to get her out. She cannot do so,
however, unless she will leave town.
They say they will 60 this afternoon,
and will send a policeman with the
girl out to this afternoons train and

ROBBED OF ONE .WHIsKER.
Edward Anderson Charges "Owney' with
Naval Ofapoa

Edward Anderson Charges "Owney" with
Novel Offence.
Edward Anderson, aged fifty years, of
First street, procured warrant today
from Justice Langan for the arrest of a
man, whom he could designate only as
"Owney," for a novel assault.
Anderson was until this morning the
possessor of fine pair of side whiskers,
of which he was pardonably proud He
said in his complaint that he was sitting
on bench in front of Branagan's s
saloon, at First and Green streets,
in which tOwney" is employed as bar
tender, this morning when he fell asleep.
While he was oblivious to all about him
Owney came along in jocular mood. He
thought how funny Anderson would look
with only one whisker, so seizing pair
of scissors he cut off one of them. Then
he struck the sleeper powerful blow,
which awoke him thoroughly.
AS soon as Anderson realized his loss he
was almost beside himself, and as soon as
he recovered his composure he hurried off
to the Justice He literally shed tears as
he told the Justice his story The warrant
was issued and placed in the hands of
Constable Crosby for execution.

JUDGE FIELD'S ENEMIES.


District Attorney Evading His SUPER
ior's Orders to Dismiss the Charges.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 2e, 1SS9-Dis-
trict Attorney White, of San Joaquin,
who left Stockton in order to evade de-
livery of the State Attorneys letter au-
thorizing him to dismiss proceedings
again st Justice Field, was expected here
last night.
The letter now lies in the Stockton
Postoffice ,and counsel for Judge Field say
that if White does not get it they will
have the case taken out of his hands.
The friends of White say he is justified in
the course he is pursuing by the grave
charges of conspiracy which Field brought
against him last week in his legal
traverse.
Sarah Althea publishes a bitter letter
denouncing Attorney General johnson
for his interference.
Judge Sawyer, it is said, has grave
doubts of the power of the Federal courts
to interfere in the Nagle case and inclines
to think that Terry's slayer will have to
be tried in the State courts at Stockton.
1t is rumored that Terry's adherents
will shoot him if he is taken back to
Stockton.
The attacks of Justice Field on Sarah
Althea and his evident desire to protect
Nagle have somewhat turned the senti-
ment against Field.
