Midnight Capers of Jolly Servant
Girl-Out With the Boys.

Last night two couples were promenad-
ing on the plaza with hackman close by
who was on the lookout for a load. Sud-
denly they stopped and one of the boys
called the hackman, ordering him to take
the girl home. The girl objected and the
fellow suddenly disappeared, leaving the
girl alone. The other couple walked on.
The deserted female then entered the
hack and was driven few doors from
her abode. Here the driver stopped and
a passing doctor assisted the girl out of
the hack. After some contradictory en-
plantations she rushed across the street
where she COlared a green foreigner and
promenaded up and down the thorough
fare with her embarrassed escort, looking
for her home. After considerable
walk, she caught one OF our
prominent young society men by the arm
and between him and the foreigner, fol-
lowed by crowd of negroes, with few
citizens and an officer on the other side Of
TIE street she walked down East Com
merce street until within sight of her
home when she left the aStoniShed escorts
and shot into the yard. Entering her
room, the lock was turned and the light
went out in a jffy. The long and loud
knocks of citizens, policemen and report
erS were of no avail, and nothing more of
the affair was heard.
This morning LIGHT man elected
from Ine ldihllS Will NhOH Ihe Siil
works, that she is known to them as Mil
lie Eagle. They say that she came to San
Antonio from Palestine, and after work
ing at several different places, took job
at the Troy steam laundry. While
working here she attempted to COM
nit suicide by plunging into the
river, being then known by the
name of Bessie Spiegle. After that she
took this last position as servant girl at
23s East Commerce street. The family
claims that she is quiet, good girl, and
about her. Last night she went out to
Dingle'S and never returned until about
midnight, during which time she evident
ly got on a lark. This morning she was
about at her work as usual. none the
worse for the NIGHTS experience.

On September 1St the rates caused by
the recent war in rates from New York
and St. Louis to Texas points, go out of
effect and the old schedules go into effect.
This is the first war of rates from these
points to Texas, on of which rates have
fallen to so low figure and the resulting
enormous traffic is not so surprising. The
International and Great Northern and
Arkansas Pass roads are doing the largest
business in their history, but the rates are
so low that it is doubtful if the roads are
making instead of losing.

A Complete Establishment

The undertaking and embaIming
rooms of Messrs. V0gel & Hennessy,
at No. 22S, East Houston street, at
tracted the attention of LIGHT rep
resentative. There is that about the
display in the show window which
shows with what taste and beauty
even display of burial property can
be made. 1t is SO entirely different
from anything ever exhibited in the
undertaking aud embalming line,
that every passer-by is attracted by
its beauty. The inside of the estab-
lishment is also arranged in a very
unique and handsome manner. The
handsome caskets are each confined
in a panel, and save from the somber
black which prevails everywhere, one
would have no idea of being in an
undertaking establishment. Every
thing in the burial line, from the
finest to the cheapest coffin, elegant
burial robes, ETC., are kept confined
out of sight. Mr.. Hennessy is a
thorough, practical embalmer, and
tends to that branch of the establish
ment. Mr.. Vogel is too well known
to n eed any comment.

1t was last April that the pottery works
of Capt. Nelson Mackey, the first industry
of the kind ever established in San An
tonic, were burned to the ground. That
charred remains of the former establish
ment on Herff street, the destroyed works
are arising, Phoenix like, from their ruin.
A magnificent brick structure is replacing
the former frame one and the plant will
be nearly double in size. The building is
las feet long and 34.4 feet wide, and two
stories. The captain will put in the very
latest improved machinery and will have
it in operation by Fair week. The fact
that his place was formerly a great
attraction for visitors has induced the
Captain to eXpend some extra ornamental
ton on the building, and otherwise pre-
pare to receive callers in proper style.

women of Mississippi, who owned property and
were taxed thereon without representation.
In conclusion the speaker essayed to combat
what he called 'the prejudice of education, ;" out
of which came all the sickly sentimentality that
consigned woman to cher sphere, and relocated
her to the level of slave. The women, he said,
could not be kept down. They would have their
rights. At the close of Mr.. Fewell's speech, the
applause was loud and long-contnued, the gal.
leries, which were crowded with ladies, joining
most heartily.

LITTLE ROCK, SATURDAY, SEPT. 10. 1890.

A STORY comes from East St. Louis, ILL.,. that
two young women, one wealthy and the other poor,
claimed the hand of the same man. He preferred
the one with money, who bought the poor girls
interest for $500. This is probably the first in
stance Of the actual cash purchase of an American
husband but for some years past the fashion of
purchasing pauper European lords and barons with
American dollars has obtained among American
heiresses to an alarming extent.

There Is a Power in Work.

Editor of Woman's Chronicle:
Since leaving home, l look with peasurable
expectation every week for my most welcome
paper, The CHRONICLE, in which find many items
that call forth both admiration and approval.
The answer from an. H. S. to IN. LIS" article
is both true and to the point | quite agree with
her in saying "a woman will understand business
readily enough when she has business to under
stand" When we have work to do, it is the
sense of freedom and independence that lightens
our troubles the feeling that we possess the
power to leave them behind us and begin a new
life, in which if we cannot quite forget them, thew
SHALL at least, bear no part.
1t is the blessed conviction at which we arrive
sooner or later that there is power in work that
can lift us above suffering-that can lift us even
out of ourselves and transform us into better and
higher creatures than we have been before. The
short-sighted people who would try to prevent
women from earning an independence by means of
their own labor are leaguing themselves together
to rob them OF the most wholesome and effectual
panacea that God has provided against mental
suffering, and the women who neglect so grand
an opportunity of taking their place in the world
as free agents-almost as the arbters of their
own destlnies, are AEueing to one side the great
est blessing their humanity affords them.
1t is sufficient to mark the different effect of dis
appointment or loss upon the sexes, ito see which
holds the best remedy in their hands. Men feel
as deeply as women, in many instances far more
so, but they have their necessary work to turn to
for relief, and the one thought drives out the
other, for work, in order to be beneficial, must he
necessary. Voluntary labor will not distract our
minds from pain, because pain is stronger than
our own self-will, and unless the labor he an
exigency, it will master it.
Thus you will see the artist in trouble Inv down
his pencil, (unless there be an immediate necessity
Tor bread) and declare his inspiration to have
deserted him, whereas the actor (who would lose
his engagement if he did not appear) will force
himself upon the boards and depend upon it, feels
all The better for the pressure he has put upon his
natural lncllnadons Work, then to be really
uSe1ul' must be necessary-and it cannot be
necessary, unless remuneratiye.
10 be Independent of every one but ourselves
ana our own eXertions, is the most glorious and
ennobllng feeling which we can experience and

BARBARA R. CARVER writing to the Standard
from Denver, August II, says:
Zone of the red letter days of my life was the
day that Wyoming celebrated her admission to
statehood, and it was my happy privilege to stand
close to the platform and hear the grand and noble
speech of Mrs. jenkins. The speech Throughout
was thoughtful and showed that woman with the
ballot was no less womanly. In her reference to
the statue of Bartholdi, she held the torch of
equality, in the shape of a. folded ballot poised
aloft with an inimitabe grace And as 1 stood
there, wished every man in Iowa could stand
where the beams of that torch could fall upon him
and tighten up the dark recesses of his soul until
he was willing to grant us the right to stand by his
side upon all occasions, his equal, clasping hands
with him in all and every good work that would
help to raise humanity to its highest and best
standard"
