Attractive Sales for the Ladies at
Wolfson's-Lawns and P%arasols.
This is the season of the year when
Mr.. Woltson has found it most ad-
vantageous to offer special induce
ments to the ladies in the way Of ne
cessities for summer wear.
With that object in view, a large
and new importation of black checked
and striped lawns has been placed on
sale at such low figures as to prove
its desirability for both quality and
price.
Vandyke belts are still fashionable
as is proven by the rapidity of sale at
Wolfson's.
Parasols for Use and comfort are
also q necessitv this warm weather.
Wolfson has them by the thousand,
in endless style and make, from cot
ton to the finest silk and satin, in
black and colors, which will be closed
out at from so cents to 81. These fig
ures are from 20 to % per cent below
actual value. But the stock Is large
and must be reduced even at 80 great

ANYTHING to fill a newspaper with

ANYTHING to fill a newspaper with
news. The seems to be the motto of
the San Antonio news agent who
dishes up sensation for the metro.
politan journals, as instance this
from the Corpus Christi Caller:
According to a telegram wired by
a San Antonio correspondent to the
st. Louis Republic, there is q shock
ing mortality among the babies of
the Alamo City, caused by drinking
impure milk, the milch cows being
afflicted with a peculiar form of tu-
berculosis.
The grain of fact in this bushel of
chaf is this. There was lone case"
of bovine tuberculosis, unearthed by
the LIGHTS local staff and reported.
AS a result of that report an inspec-
ton of COWS was ordered, in addition
to the inspection of milk which has
been regularly made for more than a
year. No other cas- has been found,
and not one case of any kind among
children. The Alamo babies are as
healthy as pure air and natures
fountain can make them, as pretty as
pictures, as lively as crickets, as
plump as cartridges, and rest secure
from every ill save that of the falsify-
ing press agent who is too cowardly to
wire lies about adults and so falls
back on the poor babies-God bless
'em.
GUATEMALA has caught q tarter in
SELLING upon a mere pretext to over
throw the government of San Saliva
dor, and impose that of Dictator Bar
rillos in it's stead. 1t now seems as
though the revolution in Guatemala
would end in the dethronement of
Barrillos and with his overthrow
the war with San Salvador would
naturally come to an end. The more
closely one reads the dispatches, the
less does he really know about the
true condition of affairs. Guatemala
cuts the land lines and San Saliva
dor controls the cable and the news
is just az pleases the senders. AS
near as can be ascertained both Qua
temala and San Salvador are repub-
lies only in name. Both are governed
by irresponsible dictators, and the
people are virtually their slaves.
This war is a war of usurpers against
each other, and the people of both
states are at their mercy. The as
sassination Of both Barrios and Me-
nendez will have to be followed by
that of Barrillos and Ezeta before
those unhappy states will be a tplace.

Long Shots ni the Winter Tricks.

al havo made money this winter" said
well dressed young man at the Guttenburg
race track few days ago to a New York
Sun reporter, "by playing the longest horse
in every race here and at Clifton"
This statement was received with doubt by
his hearers but when the young man pro-
tluced pencil and paper and showed how no
landed Vendetta at 100 TO !, Bengalinc at 80
TO |, Florita at 30, and other long shots, and
asked his hearers to please bear in mind tho
fact that by winning at 100 to ho was
primed for Just 100 bets on the outsider which
might turn up the very next race.
The fact is that there are many more out
siders successful Mt tho winter tracks than
during tho regular spring, summer and fall
sessions at the larger and more influential
courses.
Tho way tho shrcwd owner arranges TO get
the money is startling. He frequently starts
his horse when only half ft TO race, and rs q
consequence secures good, long price,
when he Is ready, the ring by that time
having made up its mind that tho ami
NAL In question Is worthless. The owner
gauges his company bdes his time md when
everything is ripe for action, md he Is NOR
ally certain thnt his horse Is tho fastest in
the race, ho puts his money on.

garding one or two horses in the race, but it
is astonishing the effect few tickets with
long figures on tho good thing will have on
the unknown quantities when transferred to
their owners. Thus many Of the long shots
go through swimmingly. The rider is in
structed to lay up in front at the start, and
to get away well, regardless OF the starters
penalty for disobcdience. Then, again, the
owner may think his horse far superior to his
competitors, and scorn to tako any Of their
owners into tho combination. Ho may get
away with it, and again he may not.
