Mr.. Richard Mansfield's

Appearance at the Grand opera
house Friday and Saturday and
Saturday matinee, is one Of great
significance. Mr.. Mansfield stands
pre-eminent among the creative &C
tors of the day, and easily first in
the esteem and regard of public
quick TO appreciate genius, courage,
Iiberality and artistic taste.
In Mr.. Mansfield's tour of forty
weeks there is but one week where
his appearances are divided among
different cities. Thus it happens
that two nights he allowed to San
Antonio. From repertoire of nine
successful plays it has been some
what difficult to make a selection
for two appearances here. If pop
ular vote of the hundreds who will
greet Mr.. Mansfield could be taken,
it would no doubt be found that an
overwhelming majority would de-
eide in favor of "Beau Brummell,"
the play which is announced. AS
surance is given that the staging
and cOstuming Of the play and it's
general production will be precise
ly the same here as in the larger
cities.

The Electric Light Plant.

r. V. Scudder, the bidder for the
Great Western Manufacturing
company Of st. Louis, has decided
not to go to Chicago this week as
expected, but will remain here for
the next council meeting, when his
bid for an electric light plant will
be brought up for consideration.
There is every reason to believe
that the recommendation Of the
special electric light committee,
for the purchase of a plant from
this company, will be adopted by
the council. Some of the oppOsers

Capt. Higginson, s. A.

New York Independent.
A humorous incident took place
the other day on board an Austria
liam liner, which shows how very
mistaken Shakespeare was in sup
posing that one name is as good as
another; at all events for ocean
travel. A shy Australian major,
after spending the first evening
very late with friends in the saloon,
suddenly returned to them after
saying good night, and requested
an interview with the purser; lie
was very white, and the cruelty
suggested that the person he want
ed to see was the steward; but this
was not the case. His commune
cation was confidential. "There is
a lady," he said, in my cabin, No.
A."
"What rubbishr exclaimed the
purser. "Here's the list; your
companion is Capt. Higginson."
Nothing will induce me to go
into the cabin again." said the Ma
jor.@

other. He returned with great

as the Majors. upon my life,
you are right; We'll put you some

With the earliest dawn they

an explanation.

" DADS e" GREAT WORK.
The Old Man is With the Bostons
and Holding His Own.

The Boston baseball team defeat
ed Count Campau's Professionals
at New Orleans last Sunday by a
score of II to 4. The game was
witnessed by about 5000 people.
The day was fine but the grounds
were muddy as result of heavy
rains of last Friday and Saturday.
"Dad" Phelan, of this city played
second base for the "Bean Eaters"
and commenting on the cold mans"
wonderful playing the New Orleans
Times-Democrat says:
"Dick Phelan, who played sec
ond base, is too well known to the
people of New Orleans to require
lengthy introduction. He has
played in Southern leagues for the
past quarter of a century, and is
known to every man woman and
child who has followed the game.
1t must be said Of the old man
that he has lost none of his cum
ming. He is as active and quick as
boy of eighteen. His work yes
terday was on a par with that of
his skillful feilOw-players, and
evoked the profound admiration of
the audience. DAD picked up
anything that came between
first and second base, and
threw with remarkable swiftness
and accuracy. He will play second
base for Binghampton club of the
Eastern League during the COM
ing season, and those who wit
messed his work in yesterdays
game all agree that he will prove
a tower Of strength to that organi-
Zation."
The Bostons will remain in New
Orleans until about March IL, and
play a game every Sunday, after
which they will probably come
back to San Antonio and give the
many admirers of the national
sport in this city an opportunity
of seeing the "Big Leaguers" play,
who could not attend the game
last Friday.

francisco Examiner.
DR.. Gustave LeipnitZ one, OF the
most famous and pic uresque of
the old-time characters in San
Francisco, died yesterday.
He was widely known by the
suggestive title of "The Snake
Doctor" He earned his sobriquet
by his overfundness for reptiles Of
all kinds, and especially for veno-
nous snakes. kattlesnakes were
his particular pets. In his time
he has owned many of these dead
ly reptiles and, though he handled
and carressed them more lovingly
than the average person would
care to handle harmless gopher
snake, he never took the preCau-
ton to withdraw their poisonous
fangs, nor was he ever seriously
harmed up one of his pets.
Leipnitz did not claim to be
snake charmer, though he was far
more daring with his serpentS
than most of the professional
chaTmers are, but had theory as
to how to handle dangerous rep
tiles and how you should not han

at is very easy to handle dan
gerous serpents," he used to say.
"The secret lies in not making any
rapid movements while handling
them. All you have to do is to
move gently and with care, so as
not startle them. By nature the
snake is not aggressive, and will on
~ strike when it thinks there is
danger threatening"
And then, to,further illustrate his
theory, "The Snake Doctor" would
go to his tank in the show window,
pass his hand gently under big,

blanket and let the treacherous
reptile coil itself about his arm.
And he would not let you speak
of his serpents as treachCrous
"They are not near so treacherOus
as | have known men to be-" he
used to say. "You only have tC

of the town, almost, for more than
a dozen years.

In his collection there were goph

indigenous to the coast. A few
years ago he had deadly little

by a friend who had just returned
from Asia.
