PLAIN POINTERS.
by A CLOSE OBSERVER.

The great Napoleon is credited with
saying that in the most revolutions anC
important happenings, there is usually a
| woman at the bottom, directly or Indirect
ly. Had the great cOnQuerer lived i'm the
present age, he would have probably sub
Stituted the almighty dollar, instead oil
the often innocent woman.
The provisions of the city laws pro.
videS that an alderman cannot contract
or bid for any city work.
The canvas for city recorder will begin
in earnest next week. The friends OF
Capt. Phil Shardein are confident.
1t is not very difficult to make friends
who will stuff you literally with sweet
tatfy, praise you in public for yonr noble
deeds, which you never did, and offer to
treat you to a cigar. if you are not Smo-
ker, but friendship of that nature will
hardly stand test. just strike one of
the oily tongued fellows for a $40 loan.
when you really need it, and the So called
friendship will melt like candy in hot
water.
The Bella-Uni theatre opens tonight,

Rapid transit is undoubtedly one of the
the public pay dearly for their accOmmo-
dation. The little innocent children,
who fell victims under the laundering
heavy motors, they certainly are not
very Sanguine over mems achievement in
electricity. 1t is true, we live in an age,
that if we could ride on the back of light
ming, we would still kick and yell hurry
up" Still, after little reflection, we
must come to the conclusion, that the
motor was invented and made for the peo
pie, and not the people for the motor.
The question is often asked: "Where
does the "Piker" gambler get money to
pay his fines, since the games have been
closed?'
1t is amusing, if not ridiculous, that
when person happens TO die in the rural
districts. not through a Six-ShOOter. the
popular verdict rendered by the coroner,
who is also the justice of the peace, post
master, storekeeper, etc, etc, is, failure
of the heart 1t would be safe to bet that
most of these SO-called cOrOnerS cOuld not
locate the heart in the human body, even
with the assistance of a PinkertOn de-
tective.
Will the attorney for the holy commit
tee of twenty-five tackle the cOck-tights,

If the preachers of the gospel would
devote some of their precious time to help
suffering humanity by beStOwing upon
them material assistance to relieve their
misery instead of waglng war on the in
tidelS, whose ideas of God and religion
differ from theirs, there is no doubt that
the world and the human family would be
a great deal better off.

GOOD CROP PROSPECTS.
What a Popular San Antonian
Saw on a Trip.

Major w. C. Lewis, the genial live
stock agent of the Santa Fe, has return
ed from trip to north Texas, on the
main line. The Major was seen by re-
porter for the LIGHT yesterday afternoon
and speaking of the general condition Of
crop and cattle and the outlook along the
road, he said:
We'll two more rains like the one we
have had today will be sufficient for cot
ton. as you know cotton requires little
rain As for oats, believe the harvest
will be a splendid one. In Gainesville and
surrounding country oats will yield from
60 to 100 bushels to the acre. The live
stock market is livelier now than last
year at this time. and if the northern
money market would not be so tight as
at present we would get at least 75cts per
hundred more for cattle than now. We
are perfectly satisfied with the general
outlook in Texas and we can consider
ourselves fortunate in having rain when
ever we needed it thus far this year"

A Test Alarm.

A test alarm was turned in from box
2l6 last night, and the entire department
turned out in quick time. There is some
unfavorable comment about these test
alarms at night. at such late hour, as
a majority of tie citizens are at
home, and In bed, who are generally
aroused, and they at once run to the
location Of the supposed fire. 1t has been
suggested to the LIGHT that the test
alarms be rung at an earlier hour, or that
the public be notified through the papers.

Band Concerts.

Since the band concert season has COM
menced, the pleasure seekers of San An
tonic, are not satisfied with but one con.
cert each week. 1t has been suggested
that during the summer months It would
be pleasant to attend two concerts every
week, one on Alamo plaza and the other
in Travis PARK, where there is already a
good band pavilion. This is being favor
ably talked of, and some action will be
taken in the near future, as soon as the
Travis Park band stand is remodeled.
