To Rustic for Itself

Last night lady living on East
street found female mulatto child
about one week old, lying in the street,
wrapped in a shawl. Officer Brown
answered the telephone call and took
the child to the county Judge who
turned it over to colored family
named Williams, living on East and
Salinas streets. There is no doubt
but that the parents of the child did
not want to be bothered with the
care of 1t and cruelty laid it on the
street in the damp cold night, TO be
taken up by strangers or rustic for
itself as best it could. There is no
clue to the parents of the deserted
child

ADJUSTMENTS.

"Still Alarm "drew another large
audience at the Grand Opera house
last night. The play has been a COM
plete success in San Antonio, and will
return next year. The New York
World says:
1.-The Still Alarm" has struck the
exact mean of excellence, which is de-
manded by the great army of theatre
goers. 1t has the merit of directness,
unpretentious vigor of action, and
withal, simplicity of speech. The
most pronounced popular success
since "Under the Gaslight." 1t is a
part of the history of the American
stage. We congratulate Mr.. Joseph
Arthur, it's author.
"Under the Gaslight" Will be on
the boards tonight at the Grand.
They opened with matinee this
afternoon.
RISCHE's OPERA HOUSE.
Last night Amorita was repeated at
this place of amusement by the Grau
opera company. The opera was well
sung and nicely staged. Tonight the
popular "Erminie" will be the bill.

The Meridian Neps, in a review

among other sensible things, that
in order TO secure s519,750 Tor the
benefit of negro education in Mis-
sissippi the white people would
have to cripple their own schools
10 the extent Of $222,49O by re-
linqmshing that amount under the
Blair bill, and thinks that the peo-
pie would pay Too dearly for The
sweet privilege Of receiving sop
from the National Treasury.

New York City Insurance.
In the lasl year or Two there has
been nm unhealthy and dangerous

building loan business, scores of
companies and as .ocialions having
sprung up and, without any rPa-
sonable guarantee of financial re-
Spon>ibility, gone to work at n gen
erdl business of soliciting peoples
money for tbe purpose OF invest
ing it in tins way. Large profits
are promised, as we'll as abundant
security, and al the same time Dor
rowers are offered wonderful in
ducementS. The promises made
are based upon exaggerated ac-
counts of what has been accom-
pliShed by local associations, and
of course The basis does not fit The
snperstructure. If only the truth
were told about The local assOcia-
tons, such Of them as are success
finland there have been many
which did not Slcceed-still IT
would not be just to infer the pro-
liable prosperity of national or
general associations for like purpO.
Ses. The strength of the local
associations consists in the fact
that il is n neighborh0od concern,
that il is constantly watched by the
members, and that il is run at a
merely nominal expense. But
when il IS sought TO spread such an
organization over a large extent of
territory and trust the workings of
il to officers not personally known
10 the members, abundant and sub
Stantial evidence of good faith
should accompany the profler. AT
least as stringent laws as those

publish the enclosed letter from the clerk
of our Supreme Court, IN which is II copy

and rs | was declared guilty and sentenc-
ed to Imprisonment in tho Justice court,
and by the jury in the Circnit Court, AMI
on the same evidence the Supreme Court
now says these verdictS were '~'olearty
