A Wise Woman.

You ask me if shall write novel
on an American subject, an what 1
think Of Eastern civilization as sub
ject for novelist? think 1T a very
rich mine for one skilled to work it,
but the stranger who would attempt
to do so on the merest superficial
knowledge, such as mine must be,
would be as ridiculous as the French
writer who tries to depict English
life. American life, the life of the
people in country villages, in small
towns, in fishing hamlets, in low life,
in commerce, in society, con only be
really understood in their complex re-
lations by those who have lived
among them. Miss Murfree, Miss
levitt, Mrs. NJ. H. Burnett, Mr..
Charles Dudley Warner, DR.. Holmes,
Mr.. Howells, Mr.. Henry James, and
host of others are the only writer's
who have right to describe the
many sided aspects of American life.
l should he very sorry to attempt a
task tor which | am not qualified
do know something ofEnglish life,
and if | write more novels / shall con-
fine myself to places and people with
whice and whom l am familiar

ANOTHER YEAR OF LIGHT.

With today's issue commences the
tenth volume of the SAN ANTONIO
LIGHT. During those years 1t has
grown from a small sixteen column
journal to its present forty column pro
portions, occupying the very first po-
sition among the evening journals of
the state. The LIGHT is today better
equipped for business, has more
complete outfit, larger circulation and
brighter prospects than at any time
since its foundation. 1t enters upon
the tenth year of its existence full of
hope and courage. Its strong advoca'
cy of pure and unadulterated repub-
licansm has given its counsels
weight in the republican circles Of
Southwest Texas, where it Is an
accepted authority and exponent
of party principles. Its firm and H.
yielding position on all questions of
municipal reform, and its constant
inquest into all matters concerning
the welfare of the citizens and the
good of this city, has caused it to be
accepted as the organ of municipal
criticism, commenting what is good.
denouncing and reproving what is not
just and wise. Its superiority as a
local journal is established and in its
condensation of state, general and tel
egraphic news it gives its readers for
less money more real news than Is
found elsewhere. 1t is matter of con-
graduation to the LIGHT that its
work and service is appreciated
in the substantial form of an
ever increasing patronage, and its
am shall be to make itself
more and more worthy the common
datiOn it has received. AS the means
at the disposal of the publishers al
nit, new features will be added to
the LIGHT, it being their ambition to
make 1T the leading evening journal
of the South. With sincere thanks
for the patronage of the past the
LIGHT enters upon its tenth year at
peace with It's neighbors, and with
itself, confident of the rapid growth
awaiting the city and of its own share
in that general prosperity.

La Grippe" 100 years ago.

From the Philadelphia Record.
DR.. Benjamin Rush, one of the
signers of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, resided in this city in 1889
and 1870, when "Ia grippen prevailed
here, and shortly afterward wrote a
book on the disease and it's SYM
ptoms. His work says that the dis
ease was univ ersal in its prevalence,
and caused cessation of business
for more thOn week. In the
churches the sneezing and coughing
were so loud and prolonged that the
services had to be discon tinued. Old
men and children were the heavies t
prey to the disease, and people hav-
ing indoor employment did not suf
fer nearly so much as those who were
constantly exposed. Indians suffered
from it intensely, and they ascribed
their affection to witehcraft.

KIRALFY'S LAGARDERE.
A Large Audience Who We're Per-
feCtly Well Pleased.

feCtly Well Pleased,
The name of Kiralfy is synonymous
of something good, always. Perhaps
that is the reason every seat at the
Grand opera house was sold before
the curtain rose last night.
Kiralfy's "Lagardere" was ON the
bills and altogether it was an entirely
new play in San Antonio, and people
flocked to see it, guided by that in
tuition born of good press notices and
opera house. They were not disap-
poin ted IN their expectations of see
ing good company and a good play.
"Lagardere" is a strong drama with
out the paraphernalia of ballet and
scenery, and could be successfully put
upon the road with good cast. With
the addition of beautiful scenery and
plenty of it, fine costumes and a
small, but very splendid ballet, the
play is more than successful and
everybody last night was delighted.
Mr.. Maurice Drew, as Lagardere,
and afterward as the Hunehback,
showed himself despite his severe
cold that almost ruined his voice,
to be a superior actor and he was
frequently called before the curtain.
The "Carrick Fergus" OF J. H. Bunny
was also a good part-comedy, but
was well done and created much
merriment. The gypsy dances and
the ballet dancing of Mile. Rosa
was a revelation to many of the
audience, while to others it warmed
their old hearts and gave them re-
Prospective thoughts of La Belle
France and the old days of the opera

Executed by the Electric Current.
NEwBURG, N. j., January 20.-This
morning at 9 o'clock a man stopped
his horse in front OF F. w. Parsons
shoe store on Water street, tied the
animal to an awning post and went
away. A few minutes later the horse
touched his nose to the iron post and
fell into the gutter like log. Thos
Dawson ran to help the horse but no
sooner did he place his hands on the
animal than he (Dawson) fell dead.
Thomas Salsz, who saw Dawson,
fastened to his assistance and
took hold of him to lift him up, but re-
ceived terrible shock and he dropped
to the ground as if dead. An electric
light wire had sagged and lay upon
the iron rod extending from the avn
ing post to the building, and the full
force of the electric current was pass
ing down the iron post into the
ground. Mr.. Saltz was only stunned;
he got up, brushed his clothes and
walked away. Neither was the
horse killed. 1t was cut loose from
the post, lifted to its feet aud driven
of. Dawson was a laborer, a large
and powerful man weighing over 200
pounds. There is great excitement
and indignation in the city.

"Coal Oil Johnny" McClintock is a
memory Of the last generation to most
people, and few probably are aware that
the former type Of reckless extravaganza
is now living in Nebraska, earns fair
income, and is only so years of age.
Goal Oil Johnny's" expenditures, by the
way, were not Of colossal nature. He
did not throw away millions, because he
never had them, and the amount he
spent annually is probably equaled by
many young men of fortune the world
over. Young McClntock simply lived
up TO his income. He derived his revenue
from an oil farm. and when the wells
thereon went dry ths money stopped
coming in. and the owner dropped back
to his former status of q poor man. In
three years he had got rid of $500, 900.
Since 1853, when the crash came in his
private affairs, he has only occupied the
public attention as a renniniscence of the
5ush times in the Pennsylvania petro-
