WORLDS FAIR NOTES.

While all the schools in the state are
making preparations for fitting celebra-
ton of Columbus Day, we wish to make
an earnest appeal to the school boards,
principals, teachers and pupils, and all
who are in any way interested in the
schools, that they may celebrate Column
bus day with little patriotic work for
Texas.
We will have in the Texas building at
Chicago, magnificent and life-sized statues
of Houston and Austin, and buStS of
Bowie, Crockett and Travis, all the work
of Elisabeth Ney, the celebrated German
sculptor. If the anniversary of the dis
covery of America should awaken pat
riotic feelings in every Texas citizen, how
much more should the warmest and most
enthusiastic tributes be given on that
day to the memory of the men who braved
danger and death for Texas. We have
asked of the Texas schools a contribution
of ten cents from each pupil, to assist in
paying for these statues, and we now ap-
peal to the people everyw here, tocome to
our assistance and see that these collec-
tionS for Columbus Day are full and gen.
erous ones. When the Fair is over the
statues will be returned to Texas and
placed in the Capitol at Austin, where
they will serve as perpetual memorial OF
Texas patriotism.
Let the people OF the entire state as
Sist in the collection of the statue fund.

This morning about . o'clock Officer
Seffel heard police whistle on East
Commerce street and repaired to the scene
of disturbance was a drunken Mexican,
named GregOrio Lopez, who had been
chasing white woman around camp

his wife were all from the country and
had put up at the camp yard for the
night. The Mexican during the night got
on good sized spree and went to the
ened to carve her up" She jump
ed out of the wagon and ran
TO a saloon near by where her
husband was, crying The is trying to
kill me-" Her husband, hearing the cry,
ran to her assistance, but the Mexican
had dropped the knife and fed.
When the officer arrived he found the
Mexican in his wagon sleeping soundly.
His fun cost him SO fine.

OUTRAGEOUS TREATMENT.

A Baby Beaten Nearly to Death by a
Woman.
1his morning Ricardo Corrones, q
Mexican woman, was up before the
recorder for cruelty beating q child.
She was arrested yesterday afternoon
by Officers Brown and Beck, at her
place of residence on San Fernando
street. Mrs. Taylor, q colored woman,
was the chief witness. She testified
that the woman had been in posses
sion of the child for nearly two years,
and that she had continually beaten
it with barrel slaves until it's back
was one solid bruise. IT'S feet also
have been beaten until they are as
soft as mush. The child was
brought into court and the feet
of the little thing were shown
TO the recorder. Judging from it's
size, one would think 1t was about
three months old. Tears were In its
eyes and one look at the suffering be-
ing would turn heart of stone. Mrs.
Taylor stated that the reason it was
treated so was because the Mexican
did not want to take care of it. The
face Of the fiend Is one of the most re;
pulsive ever seen in the court room.
The case was continued and the child
was ordered to be taken to the city
physician to be treated. If the child
dies Ii will be clear case of murder.

CONTRIBUTED SCRAPS.

Judge Fleming makes a good
church collector.
Sam says to the rich, scatter your
money and the Callaghan men are
obeying Sam.
If all the men who stood up last
night before Sam Jones feel on Now
ember Sth as they did last night, they
will vote intelligently for the removal
of some of our officials.
Indirectly Rev. Sam Jones denounces
Hogg-he wants good government.
Nat and the LIGHT will agree to
one thing, we love good music.
Ifyou want to read taffy about the
show business read the dramatic crit
icism in the Express.
Judge Fleming M axes pretty good
evangeIistic talk. JuOge confess your
sins and renounce the ring.
Rev. sam Jones may have been
converted from hoodlumism 20 years
ago. but he clings to the saloon and
gambling hell physiologies with re-
markable tenacity.
Dear Sam Jones: If you will just
make date with q LIGHT reporter,
for u trip across the creek, you can get
posted about some of our nice officials.
B. G. reminds our cOlored men that
the anti-ring crowd did not treat them
fair. Mr.. Tanner, the only applicant
for an office, Gays he was treated fair
ly, but the Doodle ticket has never
even considered the claim of a negro
OH the ticket.
Dear Sam: You will do q great
work If you can show the record of
some of our officials.
We have two great circuses in
town.
Is not II about time for G. B. & Kit,
to be joined by Lorgnette, Cornstslk,
Veratas and Don d, Uardo in their at.
tacks on the people and defence of in
dictable and indicted officials and
their fellow ringsters?
On the 5th of July, first issue after
the 4th of July-Belknap armory
meeting, our Express brought forth
on its editorial page q broken ring,
and it's declaration that Hogg men
must be defeated. By some means
the Express must have found some
base metal, to mend the ring again,
for IL seems to have the same pure
coin sound there as ever. Messrs
McElwee, Callsghan. Cssisno. De-
Witt and Nat Lewis ought to be
satisfied with our morning paper, it
does not try to hurt these Hogg men
any more.
Dear Sam: Keep up the good work.
Old San Antoine is waking up.
The Short Stop contributor for the
LIGHT spends much of his time now
out at his ranch.
Carl Gardner is a clever artist, but
sam Jones and the big circus will be
to much tor him tonight.
Sam Jones called for the record of
the editor last night, but the religious
man of the Express forgot to make q
note of it.
