A Cowardly Attack.

Some sanctimonious coward sends the
LIGHT, for publication, a filthy, libel ous
article. attacking a poor old defenceless
colored woman, and praises white wo-
man who runs an designation house under
the heading, bath House." etc. He is
too cowardly to sign his name, and even
tears off the printed heading on this let
ter for fear he might be discovered. The
old negro woman is more to be praised
than condemned. for the poor unfortuu-
ates, many of them, are compelled to, go
TO her home as last resort, when they
are driven away or kicked out, and must
lay there or die in the streets. The place
complained of is certainly a great evil,
and some provision should be made for
its removal. But il any one is to he con-
demned, show up some of the so-call-ele-
CANT. heightened, influential citizens, who
patronize these low dens mentioned, and
who are responsible for the down. fall
and degradation of the unfortunate in
mates.
To Mr.. Macon Street: Send your com
plant to the Officials you complain OF;
and don't forget to sign your name. And
be sure there is no skeleton In your own
closet. Are you pure and holy?

Why So Much Secresy.

The actions of the San Antonio and
Arkansas Pass railway management to-
ward the local press has not placed that
company in favorable light by any
means. Why a railway company objects
to disclosing news to an interested public,
is beyond comprehension. The news
sought for was not detrimental to the
interests of the company, and If the
railroad head man" thought he would
keep the news of the robbery and murder
out OF the newspapers by refusing press
representative admission TO the special
train, he is away behind the times. The
LIGHT had a representative on the train
which brought the dead fireman and rob-
Der to San Antonio. and it therefore was
an utter impossibility to keep the news
under cover.
General Manager Monseratte should
give some of his little swelled- head I'M
derstrappers few lessons in politeness.

Etiquette of Packages.
he PHILADELPHIA Times.

From the Philadelphia Times.
There are times when to carry a
package is absolutely necessary,
and it would seem that the fact of
Its being a necessity would exon
crate one from all criticism, but it
lis not so. Let woman enter a
ear, no matter how we'll dressed
| she may be or how we'll she may
behave herself, if she carries a
bundle done up in a newspaper she
Ms at once relegated in the minds of
Whose who see her to that set of
|society that is known as the middle
I lass.
A lady is privileged to carry a
BOX of bonbons done up neatly in
white paper and tied with col
red string, an equally neat pack
&c from the druggist or a box
uggestive of the jewelers., but a
quare, knobby bundle the least
lit bulky in size will detract large
II from a woman's grace and stand
Hlg.
A woman should never carry
ONE her own hat, no matter how
nXious she may be to wear it at a
britain time, or how much doubt
here is of its arriving on the scene
the hour appointed for the mo-
llentous occasion. A hat-bOX savors
po much of that class who run
ut and spend their salary as soon
it is earned on new finery.
very package that has the slight
t practical suggestion about it
ust be tabooed, and that is one
ason perhaps why women have
come. the subjects of comment
wing to their sending home by
igon parcels that it would not
,rt them one bit to carry accord
@ to a physical view of the case.
Groceries and the peculiar brown
per packages suggestive OF
ckles or beefsteak, are never seen
the hands of the polite. The
an or woman who has the cour-
to carry any unusual-looking
ckage may revel in their inde-
udence, but at the same time
ev can rest assured that their

Il place beside their name very
black mark in the log book OF
tie society.
