ON THEIR WEDDING TOUR.
Why They Took Pudgy, Dirty Eighteen
Months Old Baby Along.

why They Took Pudgy, Dirty Eighteen
Months Old Baby Along.
They stood in the Ninth and Green
streets station yesterday, the oldest
trio that had appeared there for many
day. lie was man of fifty, gray
hair, surmounted by a rusty, wide
mustache, ragged and bristling; long
neck, rundown collar linen buster
made in 80, reaching to his ankles;
high-water pantaloons and cowhide
boots, dusty and worn. His hands held
an old carpet-bag and three big bundles,
and he looked anxiOusly at the clock
every three minutes for half an hour.
She was young and fair; pink cheeks,
blue eyes, golden hair; dainty bonnet
covered with pink roses, old-gold strings
depending therefrom and tied beneath
her chin; cream-colored shawl of deli
cate texture; light blue gown of SHIN
mering, dazzling, shining, scintillating
satin, trimmed with white lace; she
wore a pair of new shoes, and they
were SO tight that she hoped about
something like sparrow.
The third person was a bouncing
eighteen-months-old baby in her arms,
wearing a huge white cap and sucking
stick of lemon candy.
The tall, lean, anxious man walked
listlessly about and finally accosted an
usher:
"When does tn kears go to M
York;"
Twenty minutes"
"Um-m. We're goin' fur a few days."
he added, jerking his thumb in the
direction of the blue begowned young
woman.
son business or pleasure?" the usher
carelessly asked.
pleasure, b'gosh! Ye see," the
traveller concluded, as the young wom-
an walked up to them, ''it's my we'd
din tower"
Your what!' exclaimed the Mortified
usher, shrinking from the fat baby as
the latter thrust a pudgy but sticky fist
in his face. Your wedding tour?"
yep; y see Marthy an me wuz
mcrried nigh onto three year ago, but
we didn't hev enough money then to go
to Nh York, an we'd jest sot our hearts
on goin' there durin' our weddin' tower.
So we started to save; but tater bugs,
an hog cholery, an dry weather, an
chillsnfever KEEP down our funds an
doctors bills" he hastily added as the
baby thumped him in the eye. $50 we
put off tho tower until now."-Phila-

Important Trade Name Decision.

Judge Thayer, of the United States Cir
cult Court at st. Louis, has recently handed
down an opinion, and granted a perpetual
injunction against the defendants in the
case Of The s
sGold Spring Distilling CO.." prohibiting
the advertising, manufacturing or selling
of any article of stomach bitters, either in
bulk, by the gallon or otherwise, or in any,
way making use of the name "Hostettcr'
except in connection with the sale of the
genuine bitters, which are always sold in
bottles securely sealed; and also prohlblt-
ing the sale of any bitters in bulk, though
the name "Hostetter' be not used, but the
suggestion made to the purchaser that he
can put them in tho empty Ho,stetter bot
ties, and purchasers would not discover the
difference. His decision supports The Hos
letter Company in the exclusive use OF the
name "Hostetter'' in connection with either
the manufacture or sale OF stomach oltterS
in any manner or form whatsoever, and
firmly establishes its ownership in the
name "Hostetter' as 'TKADE NAME. p"

McLean's "spartacus."

For those who go to the theatre,
with somewhat of love for the actor
and his art, as we'll as for amuse
ment, there was last night pleasure
and study, in the presentation
OF "Spartacus" by r. d. Mclean, the
most worthy and successful success
great tragedlans who made it famous.
Mclean and Marie Prescott have
long been we'll and favorably known
in San Antonio and the full house
which gathered to witness their
opening engagement, proved that
each season only adds recogni.
ton and appreciation of tue fact that
Mclean has risen to high rank as
all actor of unique tiOnable talent
and q most conscientious and devoted
student of his art. A man Ofmagniti
cent physique, and face of great
classical beauty, he has not depend
ed on these advantages alone 10 make
him successful In the role OF a Greek
or Roman tragedy, of which in his
repertoire there is none he
is so eminently fitted and in every
way at his best as in Spar taCus."
This play, while simple in Construc-
ton, without plot, almost concise in
detail, has not a scene or an incident
without its own important influence
on the whole great tragedy that
moves on as inevitable as destiny.
1t is smooth and rounded.
There are no superfiuous fig
ures, each one is there with
a meaning aud a purpose. There are
no side lights, nothing abstracts
for o moment from the solemn and
mOurnful pathos, the doom that
must fall. The reviled and sCOurged
slave, the "barbarian"who scorns the
Roman butchers and refuses to dip
bis hands in the blood of his fellow
men TO make their holiday, the loving
husband, the tender father, who
would turn gladiator. if they would
"ODIy spare the boy" the magnani-
nous victor of his prosecutors and the
forgiven of even his brother who lost
him all, this was "Spartacus," and
there is not single line in which
Mclean fails of the strongest and
most beautiful conception of the man
he pOrtrays. Miss Prescott's part is
so small as to give her no scope at all
in this play. The rest of the company
very we'll sustain their parts, partiCu-
larly w. S. Hart as "PhArsarius" and
Miss Malcolm as SenOna.

IRISH DRAMA.
An Amateur Company With a Hard
Play-Successfui i'm Part-TwO
Rising Young Ladies.

For an amateur dramatic company,
labOring as IL does under the full weight
of such a name as the Lawrence Barrett
Dramatic company, and playing, ac-
tually going against such heavy
as X. ID. MacLean at the Grand opera
house, this above mentioned company
did very well last night at RiSche's thea
tire. They had chosen, too, one OF t.
StagieSt and proSy of plays. that col Id
possibly have been found, Eileen Oge,
or "Dark'S the Hour Before Dawn" and
which contains no racy lines, little wit
makes the play drag even with
professionals. The company, how
ever, were well rehearSed, and toler-
ably well chosen for their roles, except,
perhaps, the selection of a mere youth 10
act fatherly old priest, all the time CIV
ing paternal advice. But that could
have been remedied in the makeup, just
been made more correct by using
hay forks instead of stable forks.
Eileen" was rather too old to play the
cOngruouS sweetheart of the youthful
Patrick. and, while exhibiting great his
triOnic ability, in pose and el0cution,
was little STACEY for the part and lacked
vivacity. As "Biddy,' Miss O'Keefe
Overcame this by putting great eXertton
into her movements and succeeded in get
ing around so well and so lively, that the
audience was very well pleased. None Of
the players, it may be said, exhibited
stage fright, although with but few eX-
ceptionS. the company had never been on
the public stage before.
A pleasing little sketch was done by
Miss Lena Jones, young lady or this
city, who sang four popular songs in
response to encOres, and very cieverly i'm
inflated the professional SoubrGtte in
voice, movement and style. She became
the favorite of the boys at once.
Another novelty, and the first time it
has ever been done in San Antonio, was
the introduction of the skirt dance by an
ance. Miss Jessie BarchuS, a young
lady who has resided in this
city for some years, esSayed this difficult
dan very successfully. Attired in short
skirts of scarlet, whose divided folds gave
ample opportunity for exhibition OF
plump and pretty limbs, the silver bells
in their eScallOpPd edges kept time to her
little steps and crashed in harmony at the
ending of one OF the several high kicks
she leveled at the front row of seats. She
was encOred, of course, and gracefully
responded.
The play WILDE repeated tonight. The
Lawrence Barrett dramatic company has
been in existence but short time, and II
it carefully avoids the shoals so many
amateur companies have always ground
ed upon. /. e. lack of obedience to one
management. and every one wanting
to be the star Of the company, IL has a
great future before it and bids fair TO re-
vive the tagging interest in the amateur
stage in our city. which has slept ever
since those palmy DAYS when Sam Nav
erick eSSayed comedy parts and John
Copeland played as star in Dickens trag-
edes, whe-e the BcXar apartment build
ing now stands.

Not Friendly to Harrison.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3l.-The resig-
nation of James w. Townsend, re-
corder of the land office, has been
accepted and he goes out today.
Townsend is al Indiana man and is
the only cOlored resident of that state
who has been able to secure an ap-
pointnent under the present admin
istratiOn. He assumed the duties of
his Office within q few weeks after
President Harrison was inaugurated,
and some months later ne incurred
official distavor by accepting the lead
ership CT the young and am bilious
men of his race who are in open re-
volt against what they call the
triumvirate-Fred Douglass, ex-
minister to Hayti, and B. X. Bruce,
recorder of deeds, District of Column
bia. The colored men here say that
President Harrison has set these men
I'D as high priests of their race and
Townsend is not In their favor. He
has been too outspoken in behalf of
men of his color, and the black trium-
virate, they say, has set its seal OF
condemnation upon him. He is held
responsible for the revolt of the
colored voters of Indiana against the
repu blisan party. Townsend will re-
turn to his state and to his people,
but probably not to work for the re-
election Of President Harrison.
