An Apology to Mayor Callaghan.

Yesterday one of our fellow citizens of
the 1st ward asked you very proper ques-
ton: Where are our garbage furnaces
or where are the $4,000 that you got to
get them with?" We ought to know that,
because it looks bad to drop such sum
from your financial report. They might
have asked that all right enough, they
might have even asked another question
of another official and said: "Mr. Huth,
did you ever pay back to the county the
money!" and done right, but they had no
cause to mention your meeting with Tom
Ochitree in Europe. You and Mr.. Guer-
gum did not draw $500 each for that. 1t
was none of their business If you paid a
visit to Father GenoIin and Mrs. Flores.
You had permission from Alderman Lock-
wood 10 tour Europe and let your salary
accumulate here. We ask you to excuse
them and only to answer the question,
Where are.the Sl5,O0O?'

The charming grace and nimble

to the San Antonio theatre goers.

As Emerson says. all the world loves

est. The Celestial artist is exactly like
his western colleague. He is genial,
generous to fault, improvident, and
enthusiastic in his calling to utter reck-
lessness. Although he is well paid his
ups and downs are preverbial. To-day
he is the favorite star in a great Canton
theater, charging 5000 per week. To-
morrow he is a street performer glad to
get SO from free handed patrons, or
obliged to pass his hat around to get
enough cash to buy bite to eat.
7. He labors under social and legal dis
qualifications. Socially he, like every
actor in China. belongs to the lowest
caste and is classed with criminals,
drunkards, and opium smokers. In
nearly every district of the empire it is
a misdemeanor for a tradesman or other
citizen to be seen in his company or to
have friendly conversation with him.
He suffers from curious Chinese
law. Any magistrate or high official
can summon him at twenty-four hours
notice to come and perform for him
privately. He may be playing an en-
gagement at a theater on the highest
terms; he or his family may be sick: his
child may be dying; it matters not, he
must obey the summons and appear in
due season in the yamen, or yard of the
official. and then and there perform in
his best style. To add insult to injury,
he cannot name his own price. but must
accept the starvation rates prescribed
by law.
