1t is matter of general remark
that San Antonio boulevards show
more handsome carriage teams
and finer turn outs than any other
city south Of st. Louis. The sue
cessful maintenance of the new
Jockey club in this city will add to
the number and quality of the
street equippages. Whatever is
going this city not only must share
in, but she must lead. This is
really her destiny.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1898.

The report of the bombardment
of Rio given yesterday was prema-
ture. The insurgent ships entered
the harbor and under cover OF their
guns attempted to land some
troops on the bay shore, north of
Rio, but were not able to effect a
landing. They made no demon
stratiOn against the forts and their
situation is considered critical.
The garrlsOns in and about Rio
are loyal to the government. 1t is
difficult to get at the exact cOndi-
ton of affairs, as the cables are not
all telling the same story. There
is every good reason to accept the
facts as stated above. The insur-
gents entered the bay and en-
deavOred to land but were re-
pulsed; this is theIatest to date.
The microscopic mind Of the

The late Bishop Selwyn of New Zealand
and Melanesiu was well known during his
university days us a devotee of the noble
art Of self defense. He incurred Il great
deal of animosity from IL certain section
in New Zealand, owing to his sympathy
with the Maoris during the war. One
day he was asked by a rough in one of the
back streets of Auckland if he was "the
bishop who hacked up the Maoris." Re
ceiving a reply in the affirmative, the
rough, with a"Tnke that, then," struck

Doinss of Absentminded Folk.

= ~ luc y
1t is not pleasant to be absentminded,
but incidents in the lives of absentminded
people give rise to a great deal of laughter
in this world. OF course no one believes
that there is any truth in the story Of the
absentminded man who put his clothes to
bed and hung himself carefully over the
back Of his chair. Nor have we found any.
body yet who had my confidence in the
story of the absentminded small boy who
went fishing and anchored the boat with
his fishhook and abandoned his sport be.
cause he could not find a worm large
enough to bait the anchor with.
These stories, however true they may
be, seem slightly exaggerated, but there
are others quite as interesting and more
faithful to facts. For instance, there is
the story of Il man who arranged to give
an elaborate dinner to Il numerous and
distinguished company. The appointed
evening arrived. The collation., an Gle.
giant one, was ready to be served, but the
guests came not. Half an hour passed,
and still they did not come, and the host
became really uneasy. When the delay
had grown to M hour and not II man OF
them had shown up, his feelings were in.
dcscribable. And who can picture his az.
ony OF spirit when, Oh returning to his
rooIn, he CHANGED to pull open IL drawer
and therein found the whole bundle Of
invitations which he had forgotten to send
out?
And what MS abscntminded young man
that must have been who, while being
married, replied to the minister's question
If he was willing to take the young lady
for his welded wife by scratching his
head and saying, eyes, Pm willing, but
I'D much rather have her sister!"-Hur-

A Letter to Santa Claus.

When a letter comes to the Chicago
postot1ice asking for something which
no one ran furnish the letter is turned
over to Gen. H. H. Thomas, says the
Chicago Herald. He is secretary Of the
Chicago office, and at present he is ex.
otticio Santa Claus. Some children seem
to think that the postmaster ut Chicago
has some particular influence with Santa
Claus, SO they write to him and tell, what
they want. Occasionally these letters
are the thinly disguised efforts Of q pro-
fesslonal beggar, but the following, which
reached Gen. Thomas yesterday, may be
q genuine appeal. 1t was written by q
little Swede boy away out in North Da'
kota. The letter was addressed to the
postmaster of Chicago, of whom the fol.
loving request was made:

The TRIBUNE has a letter from DIR. I.
c. Laverty, formerly of Bismarck and
Mandan. and who owns some property
in the vicinity of Bismarck. The doctor
has been a TRIBUNE subscriber for a
number of years, and the editorial pub
lished recently relative to Bomburger
and his crime, seems to meet with his
exact approval. The doctor now lives
in Middletown, Pa, close to the old home
OF the krelder family, and he is fitted to
Judge Of the feeling there. In his letter
he says:
Praise is due your paper for your
manly and bold demand in a recent issue
for the hanging of that cold blooded
murderer Bomburger. Ii you but knew
the feeling, interest and anxiety in Penn
s~vlvaria about the murderer fearing he
MAY not get hanged, but escape! 1t
became my painful duty to be present at
the burial of the murdered kreider
family not many miles from where l re-
side. The farmers had just cleared their
fields of hay and the grain was cut and
shocked. When l arrived with my team
within a mile of the meeting house or
church which stood in a piece of woods
l found the cross roads blocked with
teams a mile square. The farmers tore
down their fences, opened their twenty
acre fields and they we're filled with
cams for a mile square also. After
driving over fences and fields I got
within a quarter of a mile of the church.
When I arrived there I found it built
against a hill with a large basement un-
derneath. where the bodies lay in state
during the funeral services which were
going on in the church above, and at two
points in the woods outside. three SER
mons and one funeral. While the ser
vices were going on, lines were formed
to enter the basement and exit at the
other end. Twenty thousand persons
viewed the corpses which lay in a row,
first the father with left cheek and eye
blown away, but formed up with cotton;
second the mother, her full round face
greatly swollen and discolored; then
came the others in the order of theil
ages. side by side. Such a sight l never
want to behold again. Persons came
over a hundred miles to witness the
burial. and when the funeral cortege
formed with the little 15.year old Anna
CARRYING her 2-year old sister in bel
arms, screaming for her mother, and the
six corpses behind, a demand for ven
gence assembled the air from 10000 hearts

faces, and the masses swayed and surgee
to get glimpse of such afuneral corteg'
six coffins and twenty.four carriers
to the little grave yard 400 yards beyont

The doctor further states the intens
interest which has been taken there il

ton which is expressed in his comm
hanging.

The healing leaves by waters crystalline!

Thy fragrance Gains the soul when night is

And angels com with heavenly wreaths sur

To light with love this land of solitude.
