LIVE STOCK MARKET.
UNION STOCK YARDS, CHICAGO, |
Oct. 6, 1891. !

Special TO the LIGHT.l
Cattle receipts at our three leading
markets have been about 20 per cent
lighter for this than the previous week.
Shipments from Chicago have been lib
eral, the past weeks business being fully
up to the week prior.
September receipts of Texas cattle
were l07,0l6 as compared TO l02. 1872, for
September of last year. Since January
LIST this year 49l,0 OF head arrived here,
against 440,476 for the same period last
year; increase for the year so far, 30,54l.
Native cattle have improved in price
Is to % cts. per cwt. and Texans about
which was low point this year. Most
excellent rains have fallen in many pOr-
lions of Texas, and abundant paSturage
is assured to sections which were poorly
supplied with grass last fall and winter.
This will probably tend to diminish re-
ceiptS of Texas cattle this fail. We see
no reason why Texas cattle should not
continue to advance next week, unless
western range cattle come to freely, and
continue to sell badly, as they have the
past week. October End Red Lodge,
Montana, reports "Snow three feet deep:
business at StandStill." When weather
gets bad westerns come literally, re-
CARELESS of prices.
On yesterday we sold 81 loads of cattle
for the Loving Cattle Co. at the following
prices: 10 loads 614tb cows and heiferS at
S1.s5 to 81 80; IL loads 762tb steers 2.45 per
cwt. Quite few coarse, heavy, neShy
steers. good enough for eastern buyers
sold here yesterday at 2.6O to 30.
We quote today'S close, as follows:
Cows and heifers Ito to 200: choice
spayed heifers of good weight 2.20 to 80:
canning steers 2.l5 to 2.4O: dressed beef
and shipping steers $3.50 to 500.
A good demand, at increased prices,
has prevailed for sheep. Our salesman
places the advance at Is to 2OctS. for the
week.

ECHOES FROM WEST END.
HDQR'S DAILY LIGHT.
WEST END. Oct. ). 1891,

West End will furnish no items today,
but we had the pleasure of meeting. in
the city, our esteemed friend, Capt II. j.
Richarz, who had been deprived of the
sense of hearing for several years. We
deem it worthy of notice to mention for
those afflicted likewise, that we were
joyously surprised to find him ready to
carry on conversation again by means
OF simple instrument made of common
tin, fastened to a copper wire that is in
serted in the mouth. He bases his inven-
ton on a complete knowledge of accOus-
tics, but is liable to find lawsuit follow
ing his invention, since the timer who
made it expects to manufacture the
article in quantities., without paying the
Captain a reasonable royalty. | think
Capt. Richarz mentioned Mr.. Seffel as the
manufacturer of his patent, who feels no
inclination to pay 5000 for royalties.
When this lawsuit begins people with
large weak ears will hear something.

a Protest,

The San Antonio Minister'S Association
desires to enter it, public protest against
the wholesale dissertation of the Sabbath
day and disturbance of public worship
which is contemplated in the proposed
nectiOn with the German American cele-
bratiOn.
Particularly do we protect against the
proposed disturbance of public Worship
by a street parade at o'clock p. m. eX-
actly the hour at which services are held
in every church in the city, and we appeal
to al aw-abiding citizens to support us
in this protest.

Ministerial Protest Answered.
SAN ANTONIO. October 6.
To the Public:

U Jue L uUllC.
SAN ANTONIO, October 6.
In answer to the published protest of
the San Antonio Ministerial Association,
over the signature of E. +. King, presi-
dent, and w. b. Preston, secretary, the
officials of the German Day celebration
respectfully hut deCdedly protest against
the charge made by that body, and we do
deny that any dissertation is intended,
nor do we believe that any will take place.
According TO the laws Of this country
every one has the right to worship Crea
tiUn according to his own conscience, and
the closing of this German Day celebra
ton on Sunday night is only OLe form of
public worship, in which the parties par
ticipating offer their SinCereSt reverence
to such Creation, for their existence and
for the privilege of participation in the
exercises of the celebration, and for the
advances made from remote SuperStitiOnS
to the more liberal views and ideas of to-
day. This procession on Sunday night is
intende to create feeling of reverence
a I'd thanks to Creation, as much 80 as any
other act of worship All the different
religions of all ages, and all the
SeCts of ChTiStendOm have had
their public professions and cere-
mOnialS and have them today. David
of old danced to music on the public
highway, before the holy shrine, and nu-
merOus examples prove that it is fully in
keeping with religious views to have
public celebrations. Whatever the indi-
vidual may feel on such an occasion, OF
what he may think is entirely a matter G
be settled between himself and Creation.
Hoping that the Ministerial ASSocia-
ton of this city will be able to see from
this thatnO irriverence is intended, and
that their protest has arisen from mis-
understanding of the spirit in which this
celebration was conceived,
Respectfully, EDGAR SCHRANNI.

SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.

The death of Alderman Corbett creates
more than vacant seat in the city coun-
Gil; he was an honest, kind-hearted nah.
\ X
The advocacy of corporal punishment
In our public schools by the Express is an
evidence of the utter inability of it's ed
itor to get abreast with the civilization of
the age.
Corporal punishment was one entire
ly abolished in our public schools, but
has been allowed to creep in under rule
that children can be punished if the par
entS permit it. 1t is only the children of
the poor who are whipped.
The man or woman that strikes a child
should be tried for aggravated assault
and battery. Poor parents complained
to about the little offenSeS of their chi l.
dren submit to them being stripped by
public school teachers rather than have
them put out of school.
Poverty, ill-reguated homes, ignorance
of parents, tiendS brutality and it is the
little tOdS who are beaten at home that
are beaten, bruised and knocked about by
half hedged maiden school marmS or
heartleSS pedagOgueS at school, these
little fellows should find in the public
schools an asylum from brutality. 1t
would be the most valuable part of their
education.
Christ never taught lesson of brutality
but pointed to childhood as the highest
and pureSt type of humanity.
Men who are fond of telling of the hap
pineSS they enjoyed under the teachers
rod. have simply forgotten the sorrows OF
childhood. Time blotS out even the
wounds of maturer life.

Richard Harding Davis skilled I'm
Many Ways.

Richard Harding Davis is a Phila-
delphian, 90 years of age. He is the
son of Editor Davis of the Philadelphia
Ledger, and Rebecca Harding Davis,
herself literary celebrity of no mean
rank.
The young man has always been a
writer and since his 20th year he has
lived by his pen. AS a newspaper re-
porter, not only in Philadelphia but
also on the New York Sun, he won first
honors.
it is barely year since his introduce
ton to the readers of the magazines,
when he fairly startled the literary
world with that powerful and graceful
short story, "Gallegher," which was
soon succeeded by another equally
strong, 'My Disreputable Friend, Mr..
Raegen."
The authors immediate reward for
this brilliant display of literary skill
was his appointment as the associate
editor, with Mr.. George William Cur
tbs, of Harper's Weekly, an honor and
responsibility unquestionably greater
than those borne by any other writer
of his years.
Mr.. Davis is more than q boo6mal1er
and ed tor. He is an expert swimmer,
with grand life-saving record, a mu-
steal composer. an excellent singer, a
nrst-class detective, and a great foot
ball player. -

The Most Talented NAN OF EKia Race

Ever Produced.
Frederick Douglass, the well-known
colored orator who has just resigned
his post as minister to Hayti, is with
out doubt one of the most talented men
his race has ever produced. He stands
by universal consent the head and rep
resentative of his race IN America
With a splendid physique, tall and
powerfully built, the swarthy COM
plexion of the mulatto, an abundant
crop of negro hair, white as snow, and
features while of the negro type, are
nevertheless full of emotional fire and
intellectual force, he looks every inch
u man born for distinction.
His father he never knew. His
mother was black slave, and he was
born on remote plantation lying on
the banks of the Choptauk river, in
Maryland, February, 1917, amid the
LATEST and muddiest of streams, sur

lowest order and among slaves who in

ings." II is n remarkable fact that
there was one. and apparently only one,
exception to the general laziness and
ignorance of the black population in
the midst of which he was born, and
that one exception was his mother.
She could read, though how she could
have leard ed has ever been n mystery
to her son.
All the world is more or less familiar
with the slave life of America, and the
only exceptional feature of Frederick

gent mulatto, with consuming desire
for knowledge and freedom. A lady
