Milton and Dollie Mobiles Tonight.
From the Dallas News.
As an actor, author and man.
ager, Milton Mobiles has, during a
professional career covering nearly
a quarter of a century, made a
record that is a credit to his name.
Few actors are held in higher eS-
TEEN by their fellow players and
the public at large. His plays have
all been successful, and, beyond
many other American dramatists,
he has succeeded in producing Am
erican plays, dealing with Ameri-
can themes and introducing typi-
cal and tangible phases of Ameri-
can character. Last night he pre-
sented his we'll known and popular
"PhmniX" to a large, demonstra-
tive and representative audience.
1t has been about four years since
Mr.. Mobiles delighted theatre. gOers
here with the "PhHnix," and the
evident good will with which the
immense crowd received it was a
testimonial to the attraction that
could not be mistaken. The play
has been before the public for a
number Of years, and it's theme is
so well known that extended men,
ton Of it is not deemed necessary.

The WATER COMBAT.
ANOTHER ORAL DISCUSSION
TO BE HELD.
No Compromise as Yet-The City's
Counter Proposition Not Favor
ably Considered-City Hall News,
Personal and General.

AS was stated in the LIGHT Of
yesterday the water works commit
tee of the city council held a meet
ing, read and considered the propo-
sition of the Water Works COM
pany, deemed it not worthy Of
much consideration and concluded
to communicate counter PROPOSE
ton to the company. Accordingly,
the proposition, as dictated by the
committee, was drafted and sent to
the Water Works company.
The proposition was lengthy and
full of changes etc, of the old
water works contract and the new
contract proposed by the company
Monday. 1t embraced great re-
ductiOn in water rates to private
consumers, for hydrants, vaults,
etc.
AS soon as the proposition was
read by the company's committe,
a communication was sent to the
city's committee stating that by
no means would the water works
company entertain a thought of
favOrably considering the PROPOSE
ton, stating that in case a contract
would beentered into according to
the city's proposition the
company would go into
the hands of a receiver at once.
They suggested that the question
be thoroughly discussed, and it
was agreed to hold a meeting at
the mayors office this afternoon at
3 o'clock for this purpose.
GENERAL CITY HALL NEWS.

An interesting incident in San Fran
cisco the other day was the gift of SEQ
by William L. Coleman, the head of the
famous vigilance committee, toward
making comfortable the last days of
Ned MCGOWAN. The latter was the
leader of the lawless element of 1856
whose conduct brought about the muir
der of James King of William, brother
of the Buffalo police justice, and the ex-
ecution of the murderer Casey by the
vigilantes.
MCGOWAN was himself condemned to
death by the committee, but escaped.
first to southern California and then TO
Europe. He afterward returned, stood
trial for his offenses and upon securing
an acquittal assailed Coleman savagelv
III newspaper which he started and iE
history of his own career. About
three years ago he went once more 10
California to sue the historian, H. H.
Bancroft, for libel in his history of the
state, but came TO grief and is dying of
restitution at the age of Sc. He was
once political boss, the head of great
gambling establishment and worth half
million.-Buffalo Courier.

How u saake Fight Ended.

n remarkable Occurrences took place
lately in the geological gardens at Bres-
lau. In the cage of the large snakes Il
South American boa constructor con-
tended for rabbit with a large python
from west Africa. It did not succeed,
however. the python being the stronger
of the two, and it withdrew. About two
hours later the keeper found the same
snakes fighting for another rabbit.
As the keeper supposed that the boa,
which was the weaker of the two, would
again give up its prey, he left them to
themselves and went home The next
morning he was horror stricken to find
that the unfortunate boa had not let 90
its hold and had been swallowed by the
python as a pendant to the rabbit. The
boa was nearly feet long and CORE
spondinsly thick. The python had al
ready swallowed one rabbit before the
one which proved fatal to the boa. It's
circumference throughout its length was
from % to % inches, and its skin was
expanded to double its usual size. The
supposition that tho snake might per-
haps not be able to digest the boa proved
false. Digestion proceeded only some
what more slowly than usual.-Pall Mall

Works Both WAYS.

The district court has rendered de-
cision i'll regard to the jim Crow car law
requiring the railroads TO provide sepa-
rate cars for whites and negroes that
will seriously interfere with justice
The decision declares that the law
makes no exception of deputy shcriffs or
officers accompanying prisoners, and
that IL white officer having colOrcd
prisoner in charge cannot accompany
him in the same car The case arose
over the sheriff of Lafayette parish who
was taking II negro to an asylum for the
insane, and who was forced from the
car. BY the decision no negro prisoner
or lunatic can be conveyed by car to
JAIL prison or asylum by white officer.
The law will in this respect work great
inconvcnience.-New Orleans Cor. Phil

The NInrcclinI NirI Rose

Although many flowers owe their
names to famous people, there is only
one instance known when IL man and n
flower received title mt the same mo-
ment. When Mel, brave French gen
eral, was returning from the scene of his
victories i'll the war between France and
Austria, he received from peasant who
wished to honor the hero a basket of
beautiful, pale yellow roses. One of
the stems, which happened to have roots
clinging to it, the general took to flor
list III Paris, in whose care it remained
until it became a thriving bush covered
with blossoms. Mel then took the plant
AS gift to the Empress Eugenie. She
expressed a great admiration for the ex-
Quiste flowers, and on learning that the
rose was nameless said significantly:
Then l will name it. 1t shall be the
Marechal Mel" and at the same mo-
mcnt she bestowed upon the astonished
general the jeweled baton that betokcned
his promotion to the high office of mar

Now that Mr.. Booth has passed into
history, the American stage is cleared Of
its conspicuous men. 1t can hardly be
said of any living American actor that
he is the leader of his profession in this
country. Among the younger actors
Mr.. Mansfield has won strong place,
but it would be straining language to
call him the successor OF the great player
whose name is on all lips today. The
simple fact Is that the heir to Booths
place on the stage has not yet made him
self known TO the public.-New York

Tho Old, Sad storv.

One afternoon last week there was a
private funeral service in u fine mansion
situated on an uptown street in Port
land, Me. The funeral procession con-
sisted of single landau and hearse.
Passersby looked at the pathetic little
cortege as it came out of the graveled
driveway from the rear door of the state
~ dwelling and lightly remarked, "One
of the help is dead"
None of the papers in their mortuary
column furnished clew to the identity
OF the dead. Only the heartbroken ia
Their, the mother and sisters knew the old,
sad story which for ages bards have
sung. 1t was indeed an awful lesson.
Decades ago the trite saying was penned,
There are sermons i'll stones, and good
III everything" and that truism is as po-
tent today as it was then.
None knew and few guessed that tho
poor, frail frame that was ON its last
long journey was once the body of a
young woman who, seven years ago, had
fashionable Portland Mt her feet, was
courted and petted by all and was al
lowed every pleasure that mind could
invent or money procure except free
dom.
She longed for New York The night
ingale was Gagged. and she longed FOR
freedom. She burst the tiny, woven gold
en- chains of love and became as the
moth to the candle.
Three years on Fifth avenue, then to
Broadway, then in the human maelstrom
