A Little Sailor Boy.

For the boy who has left off skirts

TESTED THE COAL.
A New and Splendid Coal that can
be Delivered Cheaply.

A LIGHT reporter yesterday had the
pleasure of witnessing pretty thorough
test made on the new coal which Messrs.
A. b. Kerr 81 Sons have brought to this
city from their great coal fields in Ellis
county, near Lexington. Texas. This
coal is a fine Ignite, well loaded with gas,
and not only burns readily, but quickly
and emits an intense heat 1t consumes
almost entirely, leaving but little ash. .
A bushel of it raised steam from o
to so pounds in a engine at the
wood yard yesterday, where the trial
was made. and astonished the engi-
neerS who witnessed the test.
Samples will be tried by the Arkansas Pass
railway and by our breweries and gas
company. If switch can be put in from
the Arkansas Pass railway to the coal
fields. coal can be laid down in this city
and delivered for 800 or less per ton.
This price will mean a great deal to the
manufacturing interests of San Antonio.

He is Quite Right.

CHICAGO. May PA dispatch
from Atlanta, Ga, quotes an inter-
view with Bishop Fitzg erald, of the
Southern Methodist conference, in
reference to the lynching of negroes
in the south He said two or three
things must be said. First, that the
unspeakable crime for which they
were lyncned outlaws the perpetra-
tor, whether white or black, in every
part of the United States.
Frequent lyncbiugs have occurred
from time to time in the north, but
they appear 10 be forgotten entirely.
A white man in the south, guilty of
the same crimes meets an awful
doom, as swiftly as does the
black man. 1t is noticeable that
in all these spasms of Indignation
against the southern people because
of these lynchings no sympathy has
been spoken tor the white women
who were the fiends' victims.

Interesting Facts About the Publication
 of the Congressional Record.

Interesting Facts About the Publication
 of the Congressional Record.
 The Congressional Record for the Fifty-second congress lately made it's appearance. Some interesting facts are connected with this official gazetteer of the proceedings of congress, says the. Cincinnati Comnercial-Gazctte. Alto gether, the publication makes more typesetting and pressworl1 than half dozen ordinary papers in the United States. It sometimes has frcI4 100 to 125 pages of solid matter, whi h would make an octave book of 430 to 500 pages. It requires an enormous amount of type to get out the Record. 4 new dress is procured at the beginning Of about every other congress-evcry four years, and sometimes every two years. A new dress means over 100 tons of type-many times more than there is in dozen of the largest printing offices, including type of all grades.
 About 12,000 copies are published. Each member of the house gets about 27 and each senator about 40 copies daily. These they have mailed daily from the government printing office to those they wish to have them. Some of them are preserved and bound at the end of the session, all free of cost. A new dress of type for the Record costs in round figures 5000. It costs probably S3,O0O to S, ,0o0 to give a frst-class daily newspaper a new dress The type came from the foundry in Chicago and filled 3S3 boxes, aver aging weight of 115 pounds.
 The old type is sold at the best prices the public printer can get. It is usually about half worn when sold and ordi- narily commands about five cents pound more than the metal is worth. Many newspapers in the country have been given new dress from the old dresses of the Congressional Record. A two-year-old dress of the Record is or dinarily not worn more than that used for twelve months in country office, as there is so much in use here, and then everything is Stereotyped.
