Imu,nhlliir Inn hIId,s Life.

We believe large part Of the pnfavor-
able influence Of school life upon the
chiid's health is due to the prolonged
mmobility which the ordinary system
requires. and the necessary confinement
of young child TO chair OF bench
without some intervening muscular ac-
tiyity or recreation. mmobility is op-
posed to growth. it is opposed to all the
instincts Of the healthy lower animals
and to those of all vigorous children

A S,,ural,s, and the snake charmer.

A story used TO be told at Cairo OF the
late Sir Richard Owen during one of his
soiourns in Egypt The great naturalist
was seated IN the shade on the veranda
at Shepherds hotel, as is the postprIan-
dial wont of visitors TO that famous hos
telry. when the inevitable snake charmer
came to him and produced from his bag
lively specimen Of the horned asp--the
deadly cerastes. The professor gazed,
and nothing daunted stopped and
pIucked the horns from the head OF the
reptile wriggling at his feet, remarking
70 a bystander that the man would prob
ably think twice before trying to palm
off upon any one else a harmless snake
as a cerastes by the aid Of a couple OF
fish bones With anybody else the
char1ner would probably have succeeded
BE had tried IT on the wrong man

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
A Pure and Unadulterated Comedy
DELIGHTFULLY."- Rendered.


A beggarly house, compared to
the merits of the play, greeted
"Niobe" at the Grand last night.
The weather, hard times and Christ
mas were too much to buck against,
and the play-goers of this city
missed an opportunity of hearing
one OF the most delicious little
comedy's ever staged. The weather
promises better for this evening
and it is to be hoped a good audi
ence will be present.
"Niobe" is pure comedy. 1t
has no dance and song business !;
no facial distortions; no nudities I;
and, no crudities. 1t does not de-
pend upon scenic effects for its i'm
pressions, but purely and simply
upon the situations native to the
plot and I'll irresistibly comic man.
ner in which these situations de-
velop. The plot is simple, but its
evolution is most complex. '"Ni-
ODE" is a magnificent work of the
sculpture, taken into his house by
the insurance agent, who has in
sured it for a large sum, as a
precaution against damage. The
agent, Dunn, is a married
man, and his wife's relatives have
camped on his generosity. In the
wiring of his home an unfortunate
connection is made with the the
feet of "Niobe" and when the cur
rent is turned on the "Statue"
comes to life, but unfortunately
while Dunn is alone. The expla-
nations needed to satisfy his wife
and her shrewish elder sister, and
all the complications arising from
the mistakes incident to the occur
renee from the features of as de-
licious comedy as was ever pre-
sented.
The work of the company is
good, devolving mainly upon
"Niobe," Dunn, the elder and
younger sisters of his wife, and his
wife's brother. There is beautiful
naturalness in the whole business
that is refreshing. 1t is not forced
in any situation, but seems to de-
velop itself, each situation as it is
sprung, necessitating something
new to correct it's mistakes. 1t is a
play that deserves and should Sc
cure full house, such as has
greeted it in every eastern and
southern city.

And Kypfer & Seng propose to flood
the city with holiday goods. Our
immense variety of goods, novel
ties not to be found elsewhere, and
our prices will do it. The great
Christmas store will keep in the
lead If it has to give away its stock.
Pennies rattle and dimes jingles at
the great Houston street bazaar,
while the refreshing (not dull) thud
Of the dollar and the gold eagle to

proves that as to the Christmas
business Kypfer & Seng are right
in the center Of the current.

A Pertinent Enquiry.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Dec. q, 1898.
To the Daily LIGHT:
/ am inclined to believe that
your correspondent "Short Stops"
and some of his co-thinkers, are
wrong in respect to the Water
works contract with the city and
l respectfully submit the follow
ing reasons why: If am wrong 1
shall be glad to be corrected and
such correction, 1 opine, will be
welcome to the public.
First. Our law courts have held
that contracts may be written,
oral or implied, subject of course
to proof of service and acquiesence
of the other side.
Second. 1t is a fact that the city
of San Antonio entered into a con-
tract with j. b. LacOste and others
to furnish water to the city and
the citizens.
Third. That when j. B. Lacoste
and associates failed they trans
ferred their right title and inter-
est to Col. Breckenridge and his
associates.
Fourth. That even though a
new charter was secured and the
name of the company altered the
same service was rendered and the
transfer was publicly known, and
recognized and accepted by the
several intervening adn1inistra-
tions by giving orders to the new
company and by the payment Of
money for service rendered by it.
Fifth. The change is no ways
for contracts are often sold, trans
ferred and conveyed as valuable
consideration without the consent
of the parties of the other side; for
instance: if the LIGHT was trans
ferred today to other parties, and
it's name changed, Its contract with
the city would be valid, and in
force provided the new owners
complied with the conditions of
the contract, unless such transfer
were forbidden in the contract.
/ contend that under these cir
| cumstances the present Water
works company are the legal sue
cessor to 81. B. Lacoste and his as
sociates" and as the city has long
recognized and paid it under the
contract that contract still exists
and is as valid in law as when first
made, and so our courts will, L am
sure, decide, but / should like to
hear what can be said in reply to
this logical argument.

PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR.
A Business Mans Ideas Concerning
the Advancement of the


Country.
Speaking relative to the financial
condition of the country this
morning, Alderman Jack Daugh-
erty said:/
81 am of the opinion that bust
ness in every particular is going to
be better during the year 1894, than
it has been during the past three
years. My reasons for so thinking
are:
"First-The financial affairs of
the United States during the past
twelve months are being more sat.
isfactorily settled on business
basis.
"Second-Capital is seeking in
vestments as result.
"Third-Prices Of all agricultural
products are gradually coming
back to living standard.
"Fourth - Manufacturers are
starting up and resuming work all
over the south.
"Fifth-Particularly for Texas,
attention is being called through
out the civilized world, to her
healthful climate, cheap lands and
natural resources. Immigrants
coming in, settling, opening up
and making productive; lands
heretofore supposed to be good for
nothing but the long horned cattle,
are now transformed into fields of
plenty, producing corn, cotton,veg-
etables, fruits and that which by
the demand of the consuming pub
lie, put dollars into the pockets of
those who are willing to work.
These recent rains, the breaking
of the long drouth insTexas, have
encouraged and inspired feeling
of progress and satisfaction to the
farmer, the gardner, the ranch
man, the laborer, the merchant
and the banker,the result of which
cannot help but be a prosperous
new year.D
