WILL THEY DO IT?
The Sunday Law People Throw
Down the Gauntlet and it is
Picked Up.
Picked Up,


The Sunday law advocates have
thrown down the gauntlet and said
they were going to prosecute all of
the officers of BeXar county and
the city if they do not close up the
saloons on Sunday. The officers
say they will execute any writs
placed in their hands, but do not
propose to go into saloons to look
for violators of the Sunday law
The saloon men held a meeting of
their executive committee yester-
day and concluded to pursue their
business aVOcatiOns as usual
and thus to compel the Sunday law
committee of twenty-five to indi-
vidually make the at1idavits and
enter into the prosecutions.
A reporter for the LIGHT asked
the county attorney, Bart Dewitt,
this morning, if the Sunday law
committee had called on him in
reference to the enforcement of the
Sunday statute and Mr.. Dewitt
replied that they had not consult
ed him or sent him any commune
cation on the subject.
The saloon keepers will hold a
general meeting on Friday evening
to discuss the matter fully.

Splendid Showers.

The drouth was broken this
morning by welcome and copiOus
showers that then fell. The peo-
pie had been praying for rain and
when the new Signal Service OBJ
server Mr.. Matthew Tierney was
consulted yesterday by a reporter
for the LIGHT as to the probability
of rain his reply was: "While the
barometer is not exactly at the
right stage now to indicate a
speedy rain fall, | believe it is apt
to fall this evening and that there
will shortly after that be some fine
rain"
Sure enough Tierney was
weather, wise and the rain came
making the face Of nature as smil-
ing and radiant as a San Antonio
maiden.

Monday night shooting atfray
occurred near Washington Square,
brief account of which was men

velOped and are as follows:
Juan MandOlOS, a Mexican,
known as "JOhnnie" who works
for Jordan Bros, at the City Hall
restaurant, went out to have gay
time that night, carrying with
him a large revolver. He met Il
woman on East street and they
had a combat. "JOhnnfe' badly
punished her, and in so doing
displayed the pistol. Off
Ger Dunn appeared on the
scene and the Mexican ran,
followed closely by the policeman.
The officer, seeing that it was i'm
possible to capture his supposed
victim, fired his pistol in the air
with the intention of frightening
the boy, but it had not the desired
effect and the arrest was not made.
Since that time Johnnie had been
missing up till noon today, when
he went to the police station and
surrendered. He will be dealt with
by the recorder tomorrow on two
charges, one for carrying a pistol
and the other for beating and
striking the woman above referred

a vagrant was indeavoring to enter
a house on Crockett street, occupied
by a strange family, who moved to
this city within the last two weeks.
The officers went to the place and
saw that an attempt to burglarize
the house had been made, but no
signs OF the offender could be seen.

THE SEVENTH SON.
The Powers OF One SO Born and the
Antiquity of the HeIief.

The Powers OF Ono SO Born and the
Antiquity OF the EeIIef.
Several passages OF the scriptures
particularly Acts xix. 1S-16), gives
us hint that the seventh son was,
even at that early date, supposed to
be creature possessed OF magical
powers; or, at least, of an inherent
knowledge of things that were veiled
to common mortals. DR.. Wilder, In
his dissertation OH the occult sciences.
says: The Akkadians and their sue
cessOrs attached divine powers to the
number seven. because the planets
were seven iP number. Thus Saturn
as the seventh planet had superior
sauctity; and they also hallowed the
seventh day of the week. The heal
ing art was always more or less
blended with astrOlogy, and was
kind OF priestcraft and caste distinc-
tion. Hence the seventh son was
regarded as divine genius for heal
ing and other sacred functions.
Martinette, the French astrologer.
in writing on this curious seventh
son" subject saws: "If man be the
seventh son of his father, without
any I6maI0 intervening, ne Is b 'uar-
cou.' He has on some part of his
body the mark of a feur de lis, and.
like the old-time kings of France.
may be depended upon as possessing
the power to cure kings evil All
thai is necessary to effect cure is
that the marcou should breathe upon
the affected parts, or that he admit
of letting the sufferer touch the mark

Every year, from twenty. thirty and
