Mechanical Music .

The monograph said Mr.. Tally, of
the phonOgraph parlOr, to a LIGHT man,
continues to improve and what is Of
more Importance is that the sounds, even
those of the lowest tones, are more dis
tinctly conveyed as you hear. The bust
ness is paying and attractive one, but
is expensive, for it only pays to repro
duce the best selection, and artists natur-
ally want pay for their services. For this
locally have paid 500 within the last
mouth The cylinders, as you will see, are
very delicate and must be carefully ham
died or they are soon ruined and useless.
Great as the photograph is, Edison is
still at work at it, and there seems to be
little doubt that far greater improve
ments and innovations will ensue; indeed
many are reported already, but they are
not yet in use and will not be until the
Electric Wizard is perfectly satisfied as
to their probability and utility"

Shrieks and Screams.

There were shrIeks and screams sonnd-
ed by scared women in front of the UrSu-
line convent on Augusta street yesterday
afternoon at about o'clock, when two
ladies attempted to drive their horse
across the track ofthe Alamo street rail
way when the wheels of the buggy got
caught in the track just as a motor of
that company came along. The motor col
the animal badly although it scared the
horses nearly as much as it did the ladies
driving him. The ladies were unhurt.
The passengers in the motor were also
panic stricken, but the mOtOrlman was
very cool and stopped and reversed his
car almost Instantly. He was not to
blame for the accident which was caused
by the excitement of the ladies.

The quickest way for politician
to come to his ropes end, is to put
up "the stuff" and start a news
paper.
The LIGHT does not exist on taf-
fly or official pap, and the thin

Because a man buys a pew in a
church it does not necessarily fol-
low that he possesses any extra
amount of genuine piety.

Rev. Mulkey is getting to be al

is 50 thin-skinned that can't stand
little a public criticism, without
threatening violence should re-

The new United States Marshal
