says: "The Sunny South and Cres.

pursued crime with its fatal con
sequences. My liberty is jsopardized
and liberty or death is paramount in
my mind. I prefer the latter, thus
relieving myself of further mental and
physical pain, disgrace, slow death
and dragging further in the mire the
good name OF honorable and respected
relations. My wife is the daughter
of once popular and respected

The ChiIdren,s Stage Law.


ALBANY, N. Y.-The proposed
amendment of the law relating to the
appearance of children on the stage,
brought up from New York yesterday
Mr.. Gerry, who will be heard today
against the amendment by the COM
mittee of the assembly. The law un-
der which Mr.. Gerry acts is section
292, chapter GIG, of the penal code,
which practically forbids the appear
ance of any child, in any theatri
cal performance whatever. Mr..
Gerry thinks the amendment as
framed, altogether too sweeping.
He suggests an endment allowing
children TO appear in legitimate per-
formspces. provided their health and
morals are not injured. But Mr.. Ger
ry positively objects to any child
dancing or singing on the stage. He
will not yield that point at all. He
thinks dancing is injurious to the
morals of child. The managers of
the bill think Mr.. Gerry's concessions
concede nothing. TO bar out singing
and dancing is practically to bar out
children. Mr.. Gerry says If the man.
ayers insist on singing or dancing he
will fight the measure. Mr.. Gerry
admits that the amendment as pro-
posed by the managers will be passed
by the legislature, but he will fight
anyway.

FIRE BUGS.
An Attempt to Burn a Negroes Home
and Family Fails.

and Family Fails.
Last night, by way of ending
day of tragedy, at 1880 o'clock some
one attempted to set the home of
a negro family, corner of Cherry and
Centre streets, on fire, but failed in
their designs by the fire being dis
covered before 1t had gain ed sufficient
Roadway not to be under control.
Mr.. and Mrs. Robinson, the family
who live in the house were In the
kitchen. She was fixing his lunch so
that he could go TO work, (he works
for the San Antonio Electric COM
pany) when on looking cut of the
window the woman saw bright
glare and going out found that
her home had been fred and was
burning brightly along the ground.
The husband and boy, about II
years of age, hurried out and applied
water from q hydrant near by and
soon had the fire extinguished.
On looking about to see what had
started it they found large bottle
with kerosene oil In it. 1t was then
found that the wood work near the
ground had been well saturated with
the oil and was easy to fire.
A policeman was notified and every
thing possible done to find some clue
as to who did the work. Several
merchants were asked If they had
sold oil to any one in that bottle.
which was shown, but none remem-
bered having seen it.
This morning the case was placed
in the hands of the detectives and
will be looked into.
1t is thought that some of their
friendly (?) neighbors did the work,
but who it was is the mystery to be
solved.
