FAIR MASS MEETING.
A BEGINNING MADE AT THE
OPERA HOUSE SATUR-
DAY NIGHT.
1t Now Remains for the Citizens to
Take up the Matter and
Put it Through Sue
cesstully.

The joint call of Mayor Paschal
and County Judge Callaghan, for
the Opera house meeting in the
interest of FAIR this fall, brought
out a gOodly number of citizens on
Saturday night. The meeting or
gained by calling W. II. Weiss to
the chair, and w. ). Messmer to
the secretary's table. Mayor Pas
chal having previously stated that
Mayor Stevens, Of Sedalia, was in
the house, and the reputation of
that gentleman as a promoter of
successful fairs being we'll known
in San Antonio, the "big horse
man" of Sedalia being no stranger
in this city, there was a general
desire expressed that he would adj
dress the meeting. Upon the inVi-
tatiOn Of Chairman Weiss, Mayor
T.. w. Stevens came upon the
stage and entered directly upon the
subject that had called the audi
ence together, telling them his per-
SOnal experience in the matter of
organizing fairs, how he had made
them successful and in what par
ticularS he had failed. His views
We're that the real essentials of
success lay in unity of action
on the part Of the citizens and the
surrender of all personal ambitions
for the general success; in thor
Ough advertising, wisely and
economically conducted: in having
Observation-Disclosures on hand to fill
up every hour of the day; in max
ing ample provision for transporta-
ton to and from the grounds, so
that there will be no DELAY in
reaching town once the program
for the day is over; in not endeav-
Oring to spread over too much
ground or carry on the Fair too
many days, the thing to be worked
for being hot fair while it lasted,
and the perfect satisfaction of
those who attend. His own per
sOnal experiences were alluded to
as illustrating his ideas, he having
been interested in the conduct of
fairs since he was IS years of age.
He spoke very encOuragingly of
the prospect for successful fair
this fall in San Antonio; did not
think that any more than $1,000
would be necessary to be raised to
insure the payment of all pre-
rliums and expenses; said that he
would undertake to run it on So
600 in addition to the sum needed 70
put the grounds in repair and paw
what would be asked for the use
of the grounds and buildings. and
that in any case his advice and
experience were at the service of
the Fair directors when they were
chosen, and that he would come
to the Fair when it was held
at his own expense and act as
starter OF the races without charg-
ing cent for his services.

MURDER IN VIEW.
Willie Wilson Beats Girl Over the
Head With a Pistol.

| ASiu WIN a. IlSIOl.
One Of the most sensational cases
tried by Mayor Paschal in police
court this morning, was that of
| Willie Wilson, a negro, charged
with beating and striking. Mavor
Paschal heard the evidence and
fined Wilson 800, and he went to
jail to serve out that amount.
Wilson has been counting a
young girl for some time, and last
Saturday they had a row and
agreed to disagreed. This girl had
a friend named Nellie Wilson, who
is employed as cook for a family
on San Pedro avenue. Saturday
night young Wilson sent for his
sweetheart, who requested Nellie
Wilson to accompany her to where
this man was, as she feared him.
The girl agreed, and the two start
ed. They met this fellow, who
began calling the girl sent for, in
descent names. Miss Wilson be-
came angry at the manner in which
the other girl was being treated,
and said "COme on, we will have
him arrested for using abusive
language" Wilson's wrath was
again up to a high standard and
he remarked: "Nellie Wilson, -
you, I'll kill you when catch you
in the dark"
The girls went away, and were
soon overtaken by young Wilson,
who had gone to his room to get a
revolver. When he had overtaken
them, he struck Miss Wilson lust
above the left eye with his pistol, |
knocking her to the ground, where
she laid for few moments uncon-
sciOus. He made another attempt |
to strike her after she had fallen to |
the ground, but the other young
woman caught him and held him
until an officer arrived.
AS soon as Wilson is through
out his fine of 500, the
matter will be taken in hand by
the grand jury, and he will be tried
FOR assault with intent to murder.

England is now on the eve Of a con-
test which promises to work mighty
changes In the fabric Of her political In
stitutions, for the Liberal struggle for
Irish home rule has taken on a new and
more serious phase and ons which may
lead 10 no less > result than the aboli-
ton or radical reformation OF the
House of Lords. Mr.. GladStone's seven
years. struggle for Irish home rule hav-
ing ended In the passage by the House
of Commons Of q bill embodylng his
views. the House Of Lords on Friday,
September sth, by a vote OF 4l9 to IL,
more than ten to one, threw out the
measure which the Commons had sent
up to 1t. There could be no %mistaking
the note Of defiance which this action
implied, and Mr.. Gladstone and his fol-
LEVERS have promptly shown their will
ingness to meet their Conservative OPP
ponents more than half way. Follow
ing the action Of the Lords, II was given
out that the Queen had advised MIR.
Gladstone to appeal at once to the cleo
tors or resign the post OF prime minis
ter. Had the Queen been foolish
enough to thus precipitate a dispute
taat might prove fatal to her dynasty,
a fact by no means probable, 1t has
already become clear that Nh. Gladstode
has neither the wish nor the intention
to follow the advice Of his sovereign. He
will not resign and he will choose his
W time for appealing to the electors.
He has accepted the gauge OF battle
offered by the Lords and is ready for
the contest, which, unless the peers
Weld before il is too late, will result In
the complete destruction OF their power.
Mr.. G~ladstonc's programme for the fu-
ture has found expression in the recent
manifesto Of the National Liberal Fed
GRAFTON and In his own address TO the
electors of Midlothian. When Parli-
ment, after a brief recess reconvenes in
November, he will first strive to
strengthen his hold upon the voters OF
the United Kingdom by pushing
through the Commons a number OF the
most important reforms included in the
famous Newcastle programme. FIRST OF
all, he will bring fsrward a measure to
increase the facilities for registration,

to take absolutely cold ones, should
sponge the body with slightly tepio
