THE SEASON OPENS.
The Curtain Rises on Mantell, in
Monbars, at the Opera House.

Inc CurIa1n Kisses on mantell, IN
Monbars, at the Opera House.
Last night was merely a prelude
to the formal opening of the Grand
Opera house, which occurs this
evening, and in which Mantell
plays dual role. The piece staged
for this evening is "The Face in
the Moonlight" A genuine treat
awaits the lovers of good drama
this evening and their appreciation
of this fact is already apparent
from the face of the diagram in the
box office.
"MOnbars" was the attract ton
last night. Neither the play nor the
artist who took the title role are
unknown to San Antonio, as the
play under Mantell was presented
here last season. There was the
same careful work, the same fine
sense of feeling, the same strong
display of suppressed emotion and
the fine presence that always
characterize this actor when be-
fore an appreciative house, such as
assembled to greet him on his first
night in this city this season. He
has with him a really good COM
pany and there is not patron of
good drama that will not be more
than compensated for attendance,
even if it is little sultry.
Sunday night is not a favorable
night for an opening night in this
city,. adds to this the fact that
it is early in the season, and the
nights a little sultry, and it eX-
plains the moderate size of the
house last night. Those who were
present will not fail to put in an
appearance this evening, and seats
are already secured for hundreds
who are not found in attendance at
a Sunday night performance.
The appearance of the renovated
house is very cheerful. 1t is really
a little gem. Its new scenery, new
incandescent lights, new carpets
and hangings, new decorations and
frescoed walls all add to the general
| charm. The lessees and managers,
Messrs. Rigsby and Walker, have
put their faith in the taste and
appreciation of San Antonio opera
gOers, and that faith they have
shown by their work. The present
season is destined to prove a new
era in the amusement world of
this city. The play announced for
this evening and the company that
presents it are worthy of a place on
any stage in any city, and they
should receive the same apprecia-
ton and attendance here as else
| where.

behind the catcher and rendered

A glance at the above table will
show Hamilton as leading the team
with the unprecedented batting
average of .597, which is three hits
a game. OF course, in the run of
an entire season his average would
not rank so high. Hamilton made
six two-base hits, one sacrifice and
four stolen bases.
1t is an utter surprise to see
kOerps down in ninth place in the
percentage column. He has been
hitting hard and often, but his hits
always went up against a fielder,
and he was thrown out at first. He
made thirteen hits in twelve
games, with a total of thirteen
bases; one sacrifice hit and stole
five bases.
JOhsOn made one home ruin, two
two-basehits, two sacrifices and
three stolen bases.
Phelan-Three two.base hits and
three stolen bases.
Dewey--Two doubles and five
stolen bases.

MORPHINE KILLED
County Clerk John Clark, of Lock :
hart-It Was Suicide.

hart-It Was Suicide.
1t will be remembered by the
readers of the LIGHT that about
6 40 o'clock last Wednesday even
ing, John Clark, aged 80 years, at
tempted to commit suicide at his
room on the second floor Of the st.
Leonard hotel, by taking between
thirty and forty grains of NOR
phine in whisky. He was conveyed
to the Santa Rosa hospital, where
he was placed in the city's ward,
and attended to by DR.. Fitzsim-
mons. The following day he was
removed from the city ward and
taken to private apartment. His
relatives and the physician watch
ed over him night and day and he
gradually grew better and was on
the fast road to recovery, when
Saturday night he became
weaker and sank by degrees
until about 4:30 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, when, in
the presence of his wife, son and
other relatives, he expired.
Mr.. Clark did not make any
statement before his death, as to
the cause of his attempt at suicide.
His wife knew he was dOwn-heart-
ed at the time of leaving his home
for this place, but did not entertain
the slightest thought of what
would ensue.
Mr.. Clark is highly esteemed
citizen of LOckhart, Caldwell coun-
ty, and his sad end is a blow to
his many friends and acquain-
tances.
The remains of Clark were con-
veyed to Lockhart at 9 o'clock last
evening, where they will be in

Decides the Series.
Two umpIreS We're used in yes
terday's game with Waco at the
San Pedro Park. Mr.. Mooney made
a decision on last Saturday, which
was not approved of by Captain
Frederick Dewey, and the latter
severely objected to Mr.. Mooney
handling the indicator with any
game that Mr.. Dewey had connec-
ton with. The decision over which
the dissatisfaction arose was thus
ly: Mr.. Dewey hit the ball into
left field safely for one base. The
gentleman endeavOred to extend
the single into a double, in which
he was successful, but it seemed as
if the first baseman pulled sack No.
out into right field, and the dis
lance appeared little too unprece-
denied for Mr.. Dewey, so he simp-
ly went as far down the line as he
thought proper, and cut off to Sec
Ond base. Mr.. Mooney, however,
was "dead onto the game" and had
his "peepers" prepared for the pop
ular captain. But he waited a lit
tie too long before he called the
airline protector "Out" for failing
to touch first base. The Waco team
ran up 10 the umpire and called
his attention to the play, when Mr..
Mooney rendered his decision.
Waco won that game by a score of
9 to 4. The game was full of hits
and full of errors.
Yesterdays game was delayed
ten minutes on account of a certain
gentleman, who is a player of the
team, refusing to play just when
the game was to commence. He
also refused to allow the club to
have his uniform, but finally con-
sented to a request of the
captain and manager to give
up his "suit," on the prom
Use that the club would
pay him for it. Well, the game
went on and Harry f. Smith, the
well known eX-leaguer, who came
down from Calvert, was put on
first base to the delight of every
body present. The way this old

AMONG THE RAILROADS.
Mr.. Martin Returns From the Rate
Meeting-PersonalN Notes.


E. J. Martin, the general freight
and passenger agent of the San
Antonio & Arkansas Pass, has re-
turned from an extended trip
north, where he had been attend
ing the meeting of the Southwest
ern Traffic association. To a re-
porter for the LIGHT Mr.. Martin
said this morning that when he
left for Eureka Springs, Ark, he
had no idea that he would be gone
from San Antonio so long. He
said that the Rock Island road had
taken steps at the meeting, which
would very probably have proven
disastrous to Southwest Texas, if
they had been carried out. The
Rock Island now runs into
Fort Worth, and the ac-
tiOns of that road threatened
Southwest Texas with making
Fort Worth the distributing point
for the roads. This would naturally
effect this section of the state, but
the actions were fortunately avert
ed by the hustling abilities of re-
representatives. from Southwest
Texas. The meeting adjourned
with everybody contented and
rates fixed so that they would not
prove disastrous to any road.
& Speaking of the present hard
times, Mr.. Martin said they are
due to the tight money market, and
that the railroads are dependant
solely on the money market.
When the market is good, rail-
roads do good business and when
railroads are doing we'll everybody
is doing likewise. Mr.. Martin is
looking for better times in the
near future.

to DO so without losing it himself. Final
