a SLICK ARTIST"

Antonio People - Be-

hind the Bars.

As has been published. W. y. HOrnaday.
an alleged newspaper artist, was arrested
Wednesday night about : o'clock at the
Menger hotel by Deputy Sheriff James
McClOskey, he being wanted by authOri-
ties in other places for frauduIently OBJ
tanning money. etc.
HOrnaday is a nice looking young man
and came to this city with a splendid
song on his lips, telling that he was one
OF the artists on the Galveston News.
He repaired to a printing Office on
SOledad street as soon as he entered the
city and ordered some cards printed, tell
ing the printer that he would return in a
short while. He then visited the news
paper offices and made arrangements to
do some artistic" work for them. He
was rendered an Office and was about TO
enter into business life, seemingly, when
he was detected. He claimed he was the
son OF methodist minister in Alabama.
and was very DESTROYS of impresSing this
fact upon the minds of his hearers. Short
ly after he had left Ole OF the newspaper
offices he returDed and handed the manag-
er draft for kl5 on his father asking that
it be caShed. He was informed, that
being stranger, he could not be accom-
modated. He left and nothing was heard
OF him until bis arrest, as above stated
He claims that he is an innocent man anC
says it will be no trouble for him to cleal
himself when he has his hearing.
1t IS quite probable that some Sensa
tiOnal facts will develope in a short while
concerning the young artists career.

A RED HAIRED LADY GETS HER
HAIR WELL PULLED.

Miss Mary Rosenbud while TAX
ing a walk this morning about 10
o'clock, met Mrs. Highfiyer in the
dark. Mrs. III. says to Miss r.,
those shoes you have on must have
cost you Sc, they are so much nicer
than mine, that | paid s. for. Oh,
no, | bought these nice shoes Of
Sidney b. Wood at 81. Let me
see. Oh, they are not as fine as |
thought they were. Well says Miss
r., what has changed your opinion
so quick? Oh we'll if you want
your shoes to appear fine you must
buy them of the high priced aris-
tOcratic stores and pay them a long
profit. 1t does not sound big for
us society people to go to Sidney
b. Woods store. Why, he sells to
all the country people. Yes L
know he sells the country people,
but let me tell you he is selling a
great many city people as well.
The city people want to save their
money, and | will tell you right
now they are tired of paying such
long profits. Price Sidney b.
Woods, 4OS and 4l2 South Flores

fit he has cut into and not quality.

BEHIND THE BARS.

Property-Where is His
Fortune?
Fortune?

OIIIIlS.
Not long since q man named John IL
King arrived in SanAnlOnio and purchaS.
ed of William Klinger. the Star theater.
He advertised himself as The King
and made quite hit among circles
of his type. He claimed that he was
worth thousands of dollars and proposed
to make the theatre business decided
success in San Antonio if money would
do it.
Since his purchase of the Star theatre
business has been very dull in that line
and he has not made the wonderful sue
cess expected. He found tES1 his many
thousand OF dollars were missing, and in
order to secure some ready cash. he
mOrtgagcd his bar fixtures. etc, 10 the
Lemp Brewing company, OF which Ernest
RISche is agent ia this section. The
amount the goods were mOrtgaEed for
was 5000.
Matters rested for time and about one
week ago the Star theatre closed down as
the musicians. members of the Musical
Union. went on a strike. Mr.. King was
again hard up for money and he made ar
rangpmeutS to sell the fixtures to Wagner
& Chabot for 500. Mr.. RiSchr learned
of the deal and Immediately made an
affidavit against The King" for selling
mOrtgaged property.
Yesterday. just as the goods were being
hauled away from the theatre, Deputy
Constable PObukOSky appeared on the
scene and arrested King. He was ar
raigned before Justice Ciritf Jones and
his bond was fixed at 81. 600. He was con-
fined in prison, not being able TO raise
this amount.

d. They have nothing in

Nimroud. They have nothing in
common with the Aztec picture paint
ing, which they antedate possibly
hundreds of years. When their mean
ing is deciphered, as in time perhaps
it may be, the annals Of prehistoric
America will be unrolled for our in
spection and the yexed questions,
who were the mound builders,
whence they came, and what
were their adventures during their
long migrations, who were their
leaders and what dynasties of
kings ruled when these great pyra-
mids were erected, may all be an
swered. The prehistoric civilization
of which these ruins are the visible
trace reached it's highest point in
Central America, where are found its
most remarkable remains. In the
last fifty years the ruins of over 700
cities have been identified as such,
and as each, Judging from the indi-
cations, possessed population of
from 5000 to $1,000, the density with
which these regions were peopled
must have tasked even the incredible
fertility of tropical soil. Until
lately these cities were unknown,
most of them being located in forests
almost impossible to penetrate, in
tested with poisonous insects and
reptiles, and rendered doubly perilous
by the malarial diseases which al
most invariably attack unacclimated
strangers. In such district of Hon
duras are found the ruins Of Copan,
once a great city, but ruin even in
the time of Cortez, who passed within
a few miles, but heard nothing of it.
The palace Of Copan is gigantic ruin,
900 by 1000 feet in extent, with q
wall 25 feet thick at the base, COM
posed of enormous stones brought by
unknown means from a quarry two
miles distant. Close by the palace
is the temple, built upon a walled
terrace 624 feet north and south by
800 from east to west, and rising over
100 feet above the river which flows
by one of it's sides. Over 26, 000,0 900
cubic feet of stone were employed in
the construction of this great monu-
ment, while idols and affairs, col
umns and sculptured stones innum-
cradle are to be found on every hand.
The time is coming when our
knowledge of the mysterious builders
will probably be greatly increased,
and one of the most pulling Ques-
tions in American archaeology will
then be solved.

Grand even in its ruins, when the
giant structure was in perfect repair
and the long stairWays leading to the
summit were crowded with ascending
and descending Worshipers the scene
must have been impressive beyond
description.
But the pyramids are not the only
ruins of former powerful nations.
Palaces of extensive dimensions are
to be found covering acres Of ground,
and the enormous blocks in their cy-
clopean walls, rivaling in size the
great stones of Baalbec, cause aston
ishment as to the means by which
such masses were cut and transport
ed from distant Quarries. Great
walls, extending sometimes for hun
dreds of yards and containing mill
ions of cubic feet of stone; obelisks,
monolithic statues-all both in their
construction and workmanship, give
evidence of great advancement in
architecture and mechanics. The

former civilization. Everywhere in
these countries are to be found the
remains of mounds built for purposes
Of religion, of temples, of palaces, of
roads, constructed with the incest re-
gard to the peculiarities of the eli
mate; of irrigating canals which con-
verified wide tracts Of sterile sand
into blooming gardens; of cities which
once contained their thousands of in
habitants. The Spaniards took for
granted that the temples which they
saw, the idols which instantly eX-
cited their religious prejudices, the
pyramids on which some Of their COM
rades taken prisoners in war were sac
riflced, were all the work or the Az
tees. Later investigators have found
excellent reason for believing that
these structures were the creations of
previous race, who, perhaps, had
been driven from their homes by the
Aztec invaders. This view is strength
enc by the fact that some of the
cities were in ruins: some Of the gor-
geous temple shrines were already de-
serted at the coming of the Spanlard,

of design and particularly of detail
that excite the utmost establishment
as to the tools with which the work
was done, for as yet no traces of iron
have been found in these ruins, and
the copper implements were too soft
to have had much effect on the stone.
Not only in their architecture
and sculpture, but also in their
painting. these mound and temple
