a LIGHT reporter the other day

street railroad system, and questioned
him regarding the proposed extern

to the cemeteries:

We have all the material necessary
for its construction on hand. If the
city would put the cemeteries in
such a condition that people would
care to visit them, the extension
would have positive benefit, a. d

as efficaciOus as pOssble.n

Said the same gentleman, What
your section and Texas generally
needs most is New Enelamd people
and New England capital to develop
your immense resources. The New
Englanders have for so long been get
ting a sustenance out OF the most bar
rem countries in America, that they
would be just the ones to rightly APP
preciate the capabilities of the state.
Possibly no other means of advertis-
ing has been so effective as the Ray
mOnd- WbitcOmb excursions, which
are composed mostly of people from the
North, and there is not one who does
not return full of praises of this sec
ton.

Said a prominent Philadelphian:
1.-The city would do good thing TO re-
move the present uns.ightly beer sa-
loon at San Pedro Springs, plant the
park in nice trees and shrubbery and
make it a respectable place that no
one would have any scruples about
visiting it. What have you in the
way of amHsements? / should think
that in a town like this popular
theatre would be a success"
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1890-03-17

Said Raymond-Whitcomb eXcur-
sionist from AlIston, Mass: 1.-The
city should by all means preserve
the missions from destruction. 1t is
the practice of the visitors, when
they wish to carry away a memento
of the place, to secure heads of cher
ubs or other carvings by bribing the
keeper, which several of the party |
am with did. The land around the
second mission would be just the site
for a splendid park"

Said Denver capitalist: at is a
pity that the city does not do some
thing to put the cemeteries in order.
1t would be real pleasure to visit
them if the walks were cleared of
their weeds and grass and little
more order prevailed. With the East
Commerce street line of street cars ex-
tended to them they would be well
come addition to your parks.

The VTncents.

But the la-grippe spoiled the best

He would not be endured in barbarous

EPISODE OF THE HAT.
How a Pretty Woman Won a Vote OF
Thanks in a Philadelphia Theatre.

How a Pretty Woman Won n Vote OF
Thanks in a Philadelphia Theatre.
A stately and handsome example OF
the well bred young lady attended a
theatrical first night and occupied, with
her escort, seats in the third row of the
orchestra. She was so fair to look
upon that large share of the audience
watched her as she went down the
aisle and settled gracefully in chair
Tt was then observed with much in
terest that she raised her arms and de-
tached from her head the fashionable
hat that became her SO well. Her
hair was bright golden, and under the
radiant lights it fairly flashed in its
beauty.
The old gentleman sitting behind her
settled back comfortably in his chair
and congratulated himself that he had
been placed behind such thoughtful
creature, for now he could not only see
the sStge but aEnlondid head of eair
as well
Presently two or three young women
in the immediate vicinity quietly re-
moved their hats, having noted the ad-
miration that the originator OF the
scheme had excited.
From this the movement spread un-
til hatless feminine heads were discov-
erable all over the theatre, even to the
rear rows of the circle. Between the
acts a paper began to circulate about
among the people occupying the or
chestra.
Each gentleman as he received it
read something that had been written
on it and then smilingly signed hls
name. after which he passed it to hls
immediate neighbor.
In a few moments the paper came
back to the old gentleman that hao
started it. Bending forward he po
Iitely addressed the golden haired girl
! handing to her at the same time the
paper. She read it, and as she did 81
a deep blush and smile crept over he
face. The paper was a vote OF thank
signed by thirty or more of the mai
spectators It's text was as follows:
eve, the undersigned, desire to ez
press our respectful admiration for
most beautiful and considerate youn
lady. name not known, who by remoN
ing her hat from her bright golden hea
has set the fashion for Others, thereb
rendering it possible for delighted AT
dience to witness the details of a stag
performance.
The pretty girl cast radiant smil
over her shoulder at the old gentlema
behind, and folding the paper tucked
into the front of her dress by the sid
of a bunch of pansies. And everybod
was very happy. Philadelphia Press.

Shot in the Mouth.

During the late war Lieut.. Leath had
o remarkable experience. He was lead
ing his men into battle when he K
ceived the order to charge. The morse
of the guns and the shrieils of the
wounded made it necessary for him to
give his orders at the top of his voice.
He had his mouth wide open, calling
out the word "Chargel" when a silver
from a shell struck him in the cheek.
1t passed through his mouth without
touching a single tooth and came out
through the other check, leaving on
each side of his head a cash as clean as
if cut by a razor The wound became
infiamed, and Leath, who was at the
time near his home, was given leave of
absence for two OR three days. When
he rode up to his mothers house his
head was tied up with bandages.
The old lady rushed out when she
saw him coming and cried, "Oh, my
son, where are you wounded~
fright through the head" he re-
piled.
His mother, thinking the wound
must be fatal sent for doctor without
waiting for explanations. When the
medical man arrived he found Leath

hearty meal Atlanta Constitution.

London's Police Signal Service.

A new system of police signalling has
been shown in practical operation in min
iature in London. By a system of cleo
trio communication a certain number of
specially constructed lamp posts in the
district are made to do duty as signal
stations. In small cupboard in the
center of the post is an apparatus with
a clock diskuS.n which appear
nifTIIbeT 81 sel1sqllces to represent the
communications which a policeman
would be most likely to make orally if
he had the chance, such as burglary
here" "help wanted" "a riot here,
and so ON. By simply turning a han
die on the disk to the sentence he
wishes to convey the message will i'm
mediately appear upon corresponding
disk at the police station, together with
the number of the lamp from which it
| is sent; and the officer in charge at the
police station can just as quickly send
| back an intiInation that the message
| has been received. Another feature of
| the system is an arrangement by which
a householder, by means of a key with
! which he would be furnished by the
authorities for small annual payment,
could attract the attention of the po-
| liceman on a beat by causing red
signal to appear in the lamp, which
would be visible at a considerable dis
| tance-LOndOn Letter

Points for Amateur Photographer,


1t might be well here to give few
POINTERS to amateurs who have supplied
themselves with detective cameras.
Never carry your box as though you
were conscious of its ulterior purpose,
or as though you were looking around
for the express purpose of Swapping"
some one. Strike an average focus, and
ia the quiet of some friendly hallway
set the shutter, open the slide and take
out the plate slide, and there you are.
When you are abreast of the object you
desire to take level the instrument on
a line with your breast, touch the
spring and lol once more, there you
arel Then go along to another hallway
and readiust the plate slide, reverse the
plate holder, and once more you are
ready to SCOOP another crowd. Do
everything neatly and with the utmost
dispatch possible, and you will never
be troubled. This rule is too often
violated by amateurs, and they are sub
iected to all sorts of petty annoyance
by street urchins. New York Evening
Sun
