The People We Saw Today-what
They Said,

Mr.. Bruni, of Italano Colona: | am a
citizen OF this country, a native OF Italy.
| love this country and at the same time
my own. | abhor injustice and crime in
any land. To punish the innocent for the
guilty can never make wrong right. The
New Orleans police by their wholesale
arrests of my countrymen seem bent on
vengeance rather than Justice.
Mr.. Johnson, steward at Maverick
San Antonio as a market has few supe-
riors in the south or elsewhere. Vege-
tables and fruits are in season all the
year. Meats are shipped us from the
great western markets and fruits are in
perfect condition. Our game supply is
always more than adequate to the de-
mand and / believe that the cuisine of the
hotels of San Antonio is better and more
varied than OF any west OF the Aissls-
sippl.

am not so sure as a great many people
are, that ones handwriting is always an
index of character. Some of the biggest
and brainieSt men / ever knew were as
finicky about their signatures as If they
knew how to write, and all their care and
preparation generally ended in an almost
illegible scrawl, though, as rule, can

clan dots nearly every letter Of his name,
giving them much the appearance OF
Roman numerals. Ministers signatures
are usually clear and formal, and the
farmers rough, but legible. Ladies
rarely every register themselves, but re-
quest the clerk to do so.
Whip Drummer Bailey: San Antonio is
the town for my money and all the boys
think so too. I'll admit its many pleas
ures and temptations are too much for
some of them, but all the same it's the
pleasantest Sunday town in America, lift
does demOralize some of the boys. We all
begin to hustle for San Antonio to spend
Sunday, if within 200 miles of it during
the week. Best hotels, more pleasure re-
sorts; for the more moral the rooms OF the
Y. M. c. A: more pretty girls, and in fact
the dandy town" of Texas.
A Druggist: / think the number of
opium fends are diminishing in San An
tonic. I've several regular customers to
whom their morning dose is much more
necessary than dram drinkers cocktail
Some of them, in fact most of them, are
ladies. l believe about SO in 100 is the

Mr.. Cawthon: We are getting things
to going lively in our ware house and as
soon as we are fairly started believe our
storage capacity will be taxed to its limit
Its new thing here but as soon as con-
signees of merchandise ''get on" they will
appreciate the advantage of safe and
cheap storage.
Mr.. King of Y. NJ. c. A: The success
of the Beard lecture was very encOurag
ing to us, and we believe that our star
course will come TO be recognized as the
most rational, instructive and amusing

citizens of San Antonio. Mr.. Boards
