GnOd Looks,

Ed Eaton a High Flyer Simply on
Guod Looks,
Many months ago handsome and
intelligent young man came to San
Antonio al d registered at the Menger
hotel as Edgar Eaton, of New York.
He was we'll dressed and the way in
which be carelessly threw away his
money, the general belief was that
he was the son of very wealthy
capitalist in the above named city.
Eaton made the acquaintance of q
number of local sports and also of one
OF the female Inhabitants In the
trans-San Pedro district. He flew
around so highly that his supposed
endless wealth was about squan-
dered. He received drafts from New
York as often as every two months,
most of them calling for from $500 to
$500 His associates loved him,
naturally, while he possessed those
large rolls and he was soon @.
WINGED OF the fact that labor was
the next thing to be considered.
He secured situation with
Dugan & Kroger, the courthouse
contractors, at q lucrative salary, and
applied himself closely to his duties.
He was still high liver and contract
ed many debts for clothing, drinks,
etc, which he later found he could not
meet. Not long since he bid farewell
to the Alamo city and its inhabitants
and left for parts unknown, his
friends saying he had gone to San
Francisco. Not long after Eaton's
departure, SO it Is stated, word was
received here by certain parties thai
he was wanted In one of the northern
cities. By whom and for what pur'
pose could not be ascertained. 1t ID
also rumored that he has been sail
ing under an assumed name.
Facts concerning the affair viii
probably develop later. 1t is the be-
lief OF the general public that Eator
is now a resident in some portion o
Europe.

"A FoOt-BaIlist Hits Upon an Inven-
ton That Is a Novel One

He has been playing football this sea-
son until recently when he was laid up for
repairs, having TWO ribs kicked in and his
diaphragm badly warped. He was met
this morning and asked how he was get
ting on since he had been repaired and
what was the nature and extent TO which
he had been repaired. His reply was:
well am able to get about and L eX-
pect to be able TO play again las soon as
some of the repairs are completed"
Some of the repairs! Why | thought
that your anatomy had been repaired"
well then we won't call them repairs.
| will use the term invention, for i have
hit on a discovery, and am having de-
vice constructed that will give me protec-
ton and revenge at the same time"
What is it ?"
well. you see | am having a frame
constructed of aluminium so that 1t will
be light and harder than any fellows
foot that ever kicked ball or a player.
1t is a sort of COW catcher or feet fender,
as IL were. and / am going to wear 1t
under my clothes every time play ball
1t will be something like catchers mask
only 1T is to protect my entire anatomy.
| have also mad my shoes tipped with

MAY LOSE A CHANCE.

San Antonio Will Have to Stir Her
self tn Secure a Road.
If San Antonio really desires and
intends to secure the railway exten-
sion which will connect her with
Fredericksberg and not lose the
bonus of $4,000 offered by Freder-
icks berg for the first road that Is built
there. This bonus was saved by the
Fred ericks berghers some time ago
and has been waiting for the first
road that will come along and gobble
it up.
ut is more than probable that
Huntington will get it, IS he
is in negotiation now with the
people of Fredericks berg for the ex-
tension of the Northwestern from
Llano to Fredericksberg, and II this
deal Is made 1t Is likely to knock out
the Fort Worth and Rio Grande pro-
posed extension.
"If the people of San Antonio wish
to secure the latter road and con-
nection with Llano, Fredericksberg,
and San Saba aud secure the immense
trade. from these points that COM
peting line would give, they will have
60 close the deal, and come down
with the amount very soon and before
Hun tington closes the trade for
the Llsno & Fredericksb North

airy 2.
ut should act at once or retire from

Board is willing to select q committee
to visit Llano, and has been trying to

go there, but 1 expect it is having
some difficulty in getting the right
ones, who will take the time from

Clear Case of Arson

About4 o'clock this morning the
police officers at the station noticed
the reflection of fire. Captain Perez
started in that direction, to see IL the
blaze could be located. He drove out
near his home and discovered that
the flames were rapidly destroying
his large grain house near Undo
street. AS there is not house within
100 yards, it is evident that the work
was done by q fire-bug. In the house
was about 800 worth of harness, some
corn and very fine bull dog, which
the captain tied there the night pre-
vious. The loss is estimated at about
5000. An alarm was not turned In
those who saw the reflection think
ing it was out In the country.

TWO BOIQ Foot PaCS " no are TO-
ing a Thriving Business.
AS Charles Gessler, q carpenter,
was on his way home he was held
up by two highwaymen in the vacant
brush covered quadrangle bounded
by Hays, Burnett, Walnut and Cherry
streets.
They pointed their pistols at his
head and made him give up all that
he had, $40, which was his hard
earned wages during the week.
This is the third highway robbery
that has been committed in that vi
cinity within the past week by these
same desperadoes who make their
hiding place among q lot of barb
wire at Martin & Schryver's lumber
yard, having eluded the vigilance OF
the private night Waterman there.
There is q regular nest of vsgs, in
that locality and the police can find
them without difficulty, if they will
make q raid there.
One OF them stopped lady there,
on her way to market, recently, and
took her purse from her, and she was
glad to get away without further mo.
lestation.

you must not quote me, for never could
accomplish anything if Mrs. Nelson knew
that | had talked for the paper. But the
truth is that We have tried time and again
to have the supplies purchased on some
sort OF contract by means Of which we
might get them cheaper, but the president
always holds up her hands and says No,
no. when we suggest IT, and what can we
do? She has favored her relatives ever
since have had anything TO do with the
home, and at one time l remember that
she had ten in various positions about the
place.
Mrs. Nelson would not be president
now had it not been for the intercession of
Mrs EastOn. who is Mr.. Crocker's mother
in-law and who was supposed to represent
the interest of the Crocker trust. for the
benefit OF the home. She did not, how
ever. thoroughly understand the situation.
and we understand now that MI Crocker
is very much disgusted with the whole
management of the home. But he has
never taken any personal interest in its
affairs, not even to attend the meetings of
the trustees, where he might have been
able to direct affairs into a different
course"
What! an investigations" exclaimed
another OF the lady managers. "Well,
why were we not there? l suppose it is
the old story. Our duties can be per-
formed quite as well when we are not
present"
And then the lady went on at length in
the same strain as the one Just quoted, but
let in some lightOn the way the bills were
audited.
Tine president was never known TO
object to bill for goods from the firm she
orders everything bought from, but if by
chance an invoice comes in from some
ot : ha al in vioh hIx-f ria to
cut it down or to refuse to allow it, and it
has come to be understood that not even
a pound OF butter can be bought any other
place.
There was also circumstance about a
load of kindling wood which was pur-
chased last spring. The matron made
reQuisitiOn for the wood, but in place of
going TO woodward for il load of refuse
lumber was sent up from Captain Nelson's
lumber-yard and the home paid $50 for it,
besides So carriage. Four times as much
could have been bought for that sum at
the woodward"
Several other of the ladies were seen
ana all regretted that they had not been
permitted TO meet with the gentlemen who
went over the books.
This State aid is a matter that we knew
nothing about" said one of them, land if
we had we would not have allowed it.
When we voted TO accept these peoples
money we did it in good faith and with the
understanding that we were TO provide
them with home for their declining years.
We did not expect to ask the State to help
them, and if we can In the future we will
not allow it"
On the matter of the bOarders at Sl4 80 a
month the most of the ladies were equally
innocent. Mrs. Nelson explained that it
was not with the intention of getting below
the SIS limit. but that the people could not
afford to pay more than SI4 80, and there
fore aid was claimed from the State. These
ladies' have learned great deal in the last
