Lost I'm New York"

This standard sensational melo- drama
Jared well in San Antonio on ThankSgiy-
ing Day, drawing large audiences both at
matinee and night performances. The
play deals with stricken mother and an
evil brother-inlaw the mothers children,
one of whom develops from a New York
street waif and saves her mother from an
insane asylum and finally outreacheS the
villains and fultills destiny by restoring
the family to their rightful wealth.
There are two good scenes in the play,
one of which represents East river by
night, New York in the distance and a
real steam launch, putting and Shrteking
on large pond of water, which occupies
almost the entire stage. This scene is
highly dramatic and very sensational.
The next scene is Gramercy Park. New
York, showing the lovely park, with real
fountain playing in the foreground and
the homes of millionaireS lining the
square. In this scene Gus PiXley, as the
tramp comes into prominence with his
specialties, and William Ballert gains
applause as the policeman. The weight
OF the drama is on the shoulders of Miss
Lottie Alter, of course, but she divides
her laurels with the baby actress, little
Ricca Calm. The play will be repeated
tonight, tomorrow matinee and tomorrow
night.
The Hess Opera company have can
celled their dates and on Sunday and
Monday Shelter & Blakely'S Amer

The directors of the San Antonio Com
mercial Exchange held an important
meeting at the office Of the New England

4:30 O'Clock.

President Maverick then spoke Of the
road to Llano, saying that he had con-
suited with Mr.. Reagan Houston, whom
he considered well posted in the matter,
and who he thought, might be induced to
speak on the subject before mass meet
ing of citizens. However, he was
convinced that the original estimate was
entirely too low, and that the
estimate by President Heurmann of $40, =
900 was not overdrawn. He said that
right-of-way and grading that had al
ready been performed on the extension
would be turned over to our citizens, II
we should build the road.
Various points were then discussed,
and 1t was finally decided to hold joint
meeting of citizens and directors at
KriSch's Convention hall Saturday night
at eight o'clock.
The secretary announced that his sub
scrption list showed $5,G26, and he was
authorized to collect the first payments OF
the sums subscribed.
The board of directors meet at 1880 Sat-
urday night at Convention hall. just be-
fore the general meeting.

They Found the parnIns-NeedIe'

1t IL difficult for Us Of the present
generation to realize the privati0ns Of thu
pioneers who irst came into the country
where we now comfortably reside, the
straits to which they were at times re-
duced from lack Of articles now as com
mon as water and air with us, and the
preposterous value they often set upon
them.
An aged resident Of Fltzroy, Ont, re-
Gently told me, says correspondent
that he we'll remembered the time when
there was but one darning.needle In thai
country, end the only grist mill was .

One day q Mrs. Dickson, who CHANGED
to have temporary possession Of the darn
ing-needle, and had 1t carefully stuck In q
holder attached to her apron, set of to &c
to mill with bag Of grain laid on the
back Of horse. The good lady encoun
tered certain rough viclssitudes by the
way, and unfortunately lost the darning
needle.
This was really public calamity In
FitzrOy. Nearly twenty housewives de-
pended upon that darnlng needle fol
repairing socks, and for other coarse
mending. 1t passed from one loghouse
to another, by special messenger, and
every woman had the use Of 1t one day In
three weeks. Another darning needle
could not then be procured nearer thar

fallen Mrs. Dickson soon spread, and or

some of them accompanied by theiI
children, and some by their husbands
turned out to search three miles of forest
path.
1t seemed to be q well-nigh hopeless
task, but keen eyes were bent upon every
portion Of the highway, and at length one
little girl espied It.
A great shout was raised, and the good
news was carried along the line OF
searchers. The party re-collected, ant

Keep 1t Back.

Husbands and wives do not know till
they learn by experience (Which some
never do) how much can be added to the
sum Of their happiness by thinking twice,
and indefinitely pOstponing when either

other. 1t does not take great while fol-
q young couple to win the confidence,
each Of the other, that nothing designed
to wound will be said. When this con.
fidence is established, words which other
wise would inflict pain become harmless
In q family where this confidence Is Sc
cured BY uniform respect for the feelings
Of each other, there Is degree from re-

About Wool.
AMOUNT CONSUMED IN THE UNITED STATES

The people of the United States now
require In one year for consumption In
all forms the equivalent of about 500. 600
600 pounds of American unwashed woods,
and as population increases the demand
for wool must be enlarged. In January,
| 1889, there were In the country AZ, 599, 0i9
sheep, producing abou. 240, 000, 900 pounds
of UNIV ashed woods, and the imports for
the last fiscal year were, In all forms, the
equivalent Of more than 100000, 900
pounds. This estimate assumes that the
import Of 29, 226,3l7 pounds OF clothing
woods. much of them skirted, leaving on
ly the lighter portions of fleece, were the
equivalent Of IS 100000; that the comb
ing woods imported, 6,s69, sl7 pounds, In
part washed, were the equivalent OF 10,
/ oOO. 900 pounds, and the so-called carpet
woods, 0,%9l, 54l pounds imported, In
part washed and some practically secured
were the equivalent OF lao, 900. 900
pounds that other imports, chiefly wastes
S,662, 209, were practically secured woods.
the equivalent Of 25,000 900 pounds; and
that the wooden and worsted goods Of the
custom house value Of S52 564 ,s42, OF the
American value Of $50, 900, 600 or more,
REQUIRED In their manufacture l57 ,000, 900
|
unwashed. These estimates are sufficient
| ly accurate as q basis on which to con-
slider the policy Of Protection or Free
Trade as applied to wool.
The production Of 6o0,OOO.00o pounds
of wool would require 100, 000,0oo sheep,
or an addition of 81 500, 92l to our pres
ent number. The relative amount OF
domestic clothing and combing woods can
not be definitely ascertained. But exact
amounts are not material for the present
discussion. The clothing wool largely
predominates. The carpet mills OF this
country REQUIRE for carpets about 60, 000,-
600 pounds annually. The residue Of i'm
ports of So called carpet woods Is used
in the manufacture of clothing goods,
blankets, ETC., leaving $4,000, 900 for
annual consumption Of clothing and
combing woods, including In both class
es some imported as so-called carpet
wools
In 1885 1t was reliably ESTIMATED that
the combing wool clip Of the United
States fell 80, 600 900 pounds short OF the
amount necessary to run the machinery to
It's full capacity" UNITED States Treas
ury Department Wool Report, 1888, p.
SO co. This would require for Its pro-
duction 10000 900 additional long wool
or mutton sheep.
Under proper conditions all the needed
woods can be produced in the United
States. We have the lands, the labor.
the skill, and among our people the will
to produce all. The tariff acts Of 1867
and 1888 classed wool as clothing, comb
ing and carpet woods. Since 1867, by i'm
provements In machinery, merino woods
can be combed as well as the long woods,
80 that the distinction between them has
practically ceased.

A writer in the August Century think

A writer in the August Century thinks
he can see signs Of change in the move.
ment of population and that the exodus
from city to country Is about to begin.
He thinks the time has come or Ii about
to come when the farmers will cease To
abandon the old homestead to become q
car driver on . street railway, and the
young man or woman 10 become clerks.
In this writer's opinion the tendency to
leave the country for city life was because
Of the glamor and imagined ease and
pleasure Of life therein. caused by the
railroads extending through the interior
towns, excited and fostered BY the daily
papers that such Illusions have now been
expelled by the stern lessons Of actual ex.
perience and the reaction has set in which
will eventually restore the population "a
country villages and farming towns. It ID
evident that people who now 10 out OF
ths cities for summer rest and epjoyment
seek the more isolated and QUIET placea
rather than TIE hotels Of the popular re-
sort, cottage life 10 the open country OF
