BAN ANTONIO, July

DAN
To the San Antonio LIGHT.
On reading the criticism of the
Womans Christian Home could not
resis. the temptation to add my
mite. In my humble opinion For
1 am only q woman the Home would
be a splendid Institution if it was
properly conducted. But they say
q woman cannot find projection there
once. she had stepped from the
straight and narrow path. All! what
true christianity that is? But, alas,
how many of us are lacking In all
that goes to make up q christian and
of those that do Understand the true
meaning of the word, very few prsc-
tice 1t. They 60 to church on the
Sabbath and think they have done
their duty to God and man, but,
should poor tramp come to them for
bread, or poor woman for shelter,
they would refuse them. Go to GER
tain portions OF this city and look at
the degradation and ignorance that
exists. 1t is enough to make ones
heart ache. Why do not
some of our Christian people try
to reform few of those poor crea-
lures. Never mind the heather,
charity begins at home. There is
none so hard on q woman as her own
sex. II a woman goes astTay, the SO
called lady will raise her eyebrows In
horror if her name is mentioned, and
should the lady meet her anywhere,
will hold back her dainty skirts rs
though the errlpg one was some
poisonous reptile, too losthsome TO
touch, while ut the same time she
will permit the man that caused the
ruin of once pure girl, to whirl her
through the mazes of the waltz, and
accept his escort to theatre and
church. To church, Bah, the mockery
oft. The Bible says We are all sis
ters together, will the time ever come
when woman will realize that fact
and do justice to her sex? If any one
has any plan tosuggest in regard to
helping those poor women who wish
to reform, please do SO AID
though 1 have neither money
nor influence to any goat
amount, both shall be exerood
to their utmost extent. Oh, Christian
Home, be We that in reality. Oh,
woman hood, try and remember That
though they have fallen they are
women. Oh, sisterhood, do unto
others as ye would Others should
unto you. EVE.

SHOT DEAD AT HIS DESK.
A CONTRACTOR KILLED BY A
NEGRO NEAR OcALA.

tractors Refusal to Pay Followed by
the Fatal Shot-The Murderer Makes
His Escape.
OCALA. Fla, Jan. 10.-Jim Driggers and
young Wilcox, from the Early Bird phos-
phate mines, sixteen miles west of Ocala,
reached the city at midnight and reported
another cold-blooded murder. The man
shot was n. A. Chandler, contractor
for Banker Ambleris railroad run
ming from Archer to the
Early Bird phosphate mines The
crime was committed at $50 o'clock last
night. George Washington, a negro, did
the shooting without the slightest urovoca-
tion. 1t aDpsars the Contractor Chandler
was busy in his shanty making out his pay
roll when Washington demanded his pay.
Payment was refused because it was not
Washington's night to get his money. Then
Washington remarked: "If you don't pay
me you will be sorry"
SHOT THROUGH THE HEAD.
Contractor Chandler paid no attention TO

him than Washington shot him through his
forehead and fed. Mr.. Chandler lived only
short time after being shot. There were
more than 100 negroes around the camp at
the time of the shooting, and Contractor
Chandler was the only white man. An alarm
was instantly sounded, and all hands
joined in the search for the bloody-handed
murderer.
LYNCHING IF HE IS CAUGHT.
The excitement is intense, and il Wash
ington is caught his trial will impose no ex-
pense on the state.
The murderer is about 25 years old, a
dark mulatto, 5 feet tall, weighs $50 pounds,
has almost straight hair; cut short, and a
plump, round face. The impression prevails
that he struck out for Archer.
Mr.. Chandler, who was killed, was about
30 years old and married. His family re-
sides in Jack sJnville.

From the Minneapolis Tribune.

| The Margin by Which School
Teacher Gets Land Worth $4,000.
From the Minneapolis Tribune
EAU CLAIRE, WIS, Jan. 1.-The register
and receiver of the local United States land
Office decided to-day an interesting three
cornered contest, in which q filer. ''lost in
the shufiie' during land rush, loses his
claim by twenty seconds, settler is ruled
out because he was backed by a prominent
land operator, and the woman in the case,
q school teacher, gets the land.
The case is that OF Francis L. Box, con~
testant, against Jeremiah Dammon and
Jesse M. Sinclair. Miss Sinclair's home is
at D1rand. Wis. but sho had for some time
been teacher on one of the northern Wis
consin Indian reservations. The land ia
question lies In Sawyer county, near Big
Sand lake, and Is considered valuable
chiefly for the large amount Of pine it con-
tains, which is worth probably $1,000. Mr..
Box claims that he went upon ths land
(which is a portion of a great water reserve
track at S:2O o'clock a. m, Dec. %, 1890,
which was the day the lands were opened.
He testified that the first thing he did in the
way Of Improvement was to cut hole in
the ice OF Big Sand lake for the purpose Of
procuring water for himself and his family
His wife was coming along in q wagon to
Join him on the claim
Mrs. Siuclair claims. and the officers
found, that she went upon the claim at .
a. m. the same day.
The other party in the case, Mr. Dam
mon, joined with five or six hundred others
in wild dash for the desk in the local land
Office at 9 O'clock on the morning of Dec
20, 1890 Just head of him were chief Hix-
gings aud Sergeant Elliott Of the Eau Claire
police force, who had been asked in by the
land Office officials TO preserve order, and
took advantage Of that fact to make their
own little filings. The register, however.
showed them aside and took Dammons fl-
ings, which was tho first on record. But
the delay has proved fatal to Dammon's
claim. The officers find that, according to
the best evidence obtainable Dammon did
not 6le till 20 seconds after O'Clock.
They decide further that Box aud Miss
Sinclair were on the land at Q o'clock and
that both went on at the same moment
Thus they were equal as far as that is con-
cerued. but the officers find that there Is a
lack of good faith on Box's part and that
the evidence indicates that he was not alone
in the venture, but was assisted In a very
material way by W. e. McCord, brother Of
the eX-congressman and a wealthy pine
land operator. Therefore the officers decide
in favor of Miss Sinclair as between her and
Box. aud also decide in her favor In relation
to Dammon. because the latters filing is
found to have been twenty seconds after
Mss Sinclair's settlement on the lard.
The case will 1ubtless be appealed. In
the meantime, however, the sahoolteachcr
holds the fort.

COTTON'S ACREAGE.
A Memorial by the Commissioners of

A Memorial by the Commissioners OF
Agriculture.
MEMPHIS, TENN, Jan. lO.-Yesterday in
the parlors Of the Peabody hotel there was
held a conference between the commission
ers of agriculture of the various cotton
states, who attended the convention of the
cotton growers Of the previous DAYS. 10
garding the action of the convention, and
they agreed to the following memorial:
The commissioners OF agriculture represent
ing the states OF Alabama, Arkansas North
carolina, Georgia and Tennessee, being i'm
pressed with tho necessity of O reduction of the

STAGE KISSES ARE sHAMs.
You Can't See the Exact Modus Oper-
andi From the Front, However.

You Can't See the Exact Modus Oper-
andi From the Front, However.
from the NetU York Mail and Express.
A stage kiss is most unsatisfactory
thing. 1t is like everything else about the
stage, unreal and meant to be unreal 1t
serves its purpose, however. and that is all
that is required by it or any other institu-
tion.
There are to begin with three distinct
kinds Of kisses on the stage, as there are off .
First, the reyerential, spiritual, devotional,
respectful kiss which is imprinted on the
forehead; second, the paternal, maternal +,
fraternal. friendly kiss deposited on the
check; third, the loving conjugal, burning
with-passion. good~by-forever kiss, which
is not placed in either one of the mentioned
places. Perhaps you are as well posted on
that matter as any one.
Nearly everything on the stage, as every
body should understand, Is unreal and arti-
fetal from the scenery down to the SOU
brettes complexion, and the kiss is no ex-
ception. Very few Of them are real, nice,
genuine ones. but occasionally when the pair
love one another they do it with a realism
that cannot be mistaken. The forehead kiss
Is perhaps mostly genuine, and often there
Is actual contact In the cheek kiss, but this
is very seldom when rosy lips are held up 80
lnYltlnRly.
Tee actor and actress merely bow their
heads and nearly touch, but their lips sell
dom meet. With a slight inclination of the
heads backward, this can be done very arr
tistcally. The well-known smack sounds
for all the world like beauty The de-
ception is frequently aided by the hands,
which hides the rich carmine lips Of the fair
one from the audience.
REASONS FOR THIS THUsNEss.
This trick is resorted to for various
reasons. In the first place the parties may
not like each other well enough to relish
the osculation process. In the second place,
grease, paint and carmine do not set well on
the palate, and, finally, genuine kisses are
prone to have an exhilirating or depress-
ing effect, as the case may be, either of
which sensations might interfere with the
actors or actresses performance. When
contact is INDUCED in is is either sign that
realism is required by the manger, or de-
sired by the performers The latter is more
frequently the case.
IL "stage kisses" are not cleverly executed
they ought TO be omitted altogether, or else
the parties should kiss in earnest. A trans
parent kiss to the audience, which is thin
and palpable, spoils many good effect
Disillusionment to the greatest degree is
thereby exploited. and when the Illusion of
a stage picture of any kind is spoiled the
picture ceases to be attractive.

WAR ON THE FEE SYSTEM
ANOTHER ATTEMPT no BE MADE
TO HAVE IT ABOLISHED.

congressman From the South Promi-
nent in the Movement-They Point
Out It's Evils and the Monetary Ad-
vantage Following It's Repeal.
Profits of Possmasters on Envel-
opes.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O.-An effort will
be made by number of democratic repre-
sentatives In congress TO have the appro-
priations committee recommend that the
fee system in federal offices be abolished SO
Tar as can well be done. A number Of con-
gressmen, especially in the south-
ern states, urge that the continuance
or the fee system results in much hardship
to the people in their states through deputy
marshals and other court officials straining
the laws for the purpose of making cases in
the courts and thereby increasing the emol.
uments Of their offices.
WOULD SAVE MONEY.
1t is urged that the government would
really save great deal Of money by paying
salaries TO such employees as are necessary
In fee offices and requiring that all fees
shall be turned into the United States treas
ury. Vigorous opposition, however, is ex-
pected to this reform and the appropris-
tions committee has not yet got TO work, so
that it is uncertain what will be the out
come.
PROFITS ON ENVELOPES.
One Of the attempts TO do away with per-
quisites in federal offices is of considerable
interest TO numerous postmasters Of the
first class throughout the country. At
present stamped envelopes are furnished to
postmasters at q cost of one fifth of a
cent for each envelope. No profit is realized
on these by the postmaster when he sells
them in large lots. When sold siugly, or in
small quantities, there is a profit of four
fifths of q cent on each envelope, and Mr.
C'Neill of Missouri, who intends to
urge congress to change the practice, says
that the result is a considerable profit at
the end of the year to postmasters, who are
in receipt of regular fixed salaries.
WANTS THEM SOLD AT COST.
He will urge that hereafter stamped en-.
velopes be furnished at cost in Scent lots,
the price Of the stamp not included. The
government, he says, should not make a
profit on these and other conveniences it
furnishes to the people. but should give
them at cost wherever practicable. and any
profits arising where exact cost cannot be
conveniently fixed, should not 60 20 salaried

THIS WEEK IN co NGREss.
The Senate Waiting on the House an
the House Waiting for Rules.

The Senate Waiting on the House and
the House Waiting for Rules.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O.-The Fifty-second
congress is now in the second month Of It's
existence, yet it has not materially ad-
vanced any legislation, nor is the present
week likely to work any change in this par
ticular The Senate is waiting on
the House. where the appropriation
bills must originate, and in
the absence of rules comforting the neces-
sary authority, the House committees are
unable to report any measures. On the
calendars of the Senate there is nothing of
general interest unless the old We'll and
La Abra bills may be thus characterized,
aud there is little prospect OF reports coming
from the committees at an early day in the
week-so that beyond listening to speeches
and considering nominations in executive
session there will be little for the Senate to
do.
NO PROGRAMME IN THE HOUSE.
The House has no programme Of business
for this week. 1t Is still embarked on the
sea of general parliamentary practice" "
and until a code of rules is framed, the
course of the proceedings will depend upon
the conditions that arise from day to oay.
The committees have as yet done nothing
more than effect an OrganlzaLlOn, 80 tnaI IL
is unlikely that any measure will be On the
House calendars in season for action before
next week.
Under temporary order Of the House
made to facilitate business prior to the
adoption of full set Of rules, Monday Will
be devoted to the introduction OF bills under
a call of the states.
COMMITTEE CLERKSHIPS.
The committee on accounts expects to re-
mort early in the week resolution making
the usual assignments Of clerkships to the
committees. There is some opposition TO
the allowance of clerks to the smaller COM
mittees. which may lead to prolonged de-
bate on the necessity for economy IN the
expenditures.
Mr.. Blount, chairman Of the foreign affairs
committee, has moved reconsideration OF
the vote by which the House refused con"
currence in the Senate resolution making an
appropriation to charter supply vessel for
the relief Of the the Russian famine suffer
ers and when an opportunity comes he VIII
endeavor during the week to have the
House agree to reference of the resolution
20 the foreign affairs committee.
