almost any man. He was presiding
over a mission meeting, when a
middle aged, black eyed woman
pushed her way to the platforms, and
pointing her finger at him said:
1t has been nineteen years since
we met, and l come as voice from
your past to proclaim to the world
that child of yours young girl
who is a Christian, is dying in a
house in Lexington avenue, not
from starvation, but from shame
that you alone are Responsible for.
Silent and motionless as a statue,
Colonel Hadly started at the woman.
Then a storm of Kisses aroused him.
Facing his audience he made this
manly confeesion:
As>e SOW, ye shall reap. That
which has occurred tonight l have
been expecting year after year--ever
year ago, when l was converted in
invited to take charge Of the mission,
/ told those who should know about
this sin Of my past, believing that
for the good work, but l was pre-
vailed upon that God had then
chosen me for the work. And SO
now believe, looking back over these
years that l have been engaged in
mission work. The women who
was here tonight followed me to
New York from Cincinnati twenty
six years ago. l met her while SOW
ing my wild oats. l was more to
blame than she, for she was
woman. 1t has been, as she has
told you, nineteen years since we
have met.
The astonished listeners turued to
look at the acCuser, but she was
gone. The services then went on
without interruption.
Speaking of the matter afterwards,
the colonel said that all the blame
rested upon his head. He had
wronged woman when he should
have helped her, and while he felt
called to his field of missionary work,
he did not propose to masquerade
as good man. He begged the
puCllC 10 COnueIlln MIN anu 10 lllnk
kindly Of his friendless victim.
Perhaps converted and refor-
med man was never more severely
punished for the sins and transgres-
sions of his past Shakespeare
never said truer thing than when
he said: s'The evil that men do
lives after them: the good is oft in
tered with their boncs"

SUDDEN STORM.
Electric Wires Kill a Horse, But Its
Rider Is Uniniured.

The rain and wind storm which
arose so suddenly at o'clock yes
terday afternoon caused some dam
age to trees in the northern part of
the city, but there were no casual.
ties except the killing Of a horse
on Military plaza by an electric
wire of the San Antonio Street Car
company, which had been broken
by the wind. The broken wire
was discovered by Patrol Wagon
Driver May and he reported it to
the police. While the officer was
telephoning to the power house to
have the current cut off and three
cars were standing on the track,
powerless to proceed, colored
man named Calvin Bostick,
who is employed as stock trader
by VIM. Alderman, rode into the
wire which was lying on the
blocks. The horse struck it with
his knees and it brought him sud-
denly to the ground. His rider
was thrown and fell just a few

fortunately clear of the saddle.
The horse fell upon the wire
and was killed instantly.
When the rider arose he at
tempted to pull the horse off
the wire and received severe elec-
trio shock. He dropped his hold
and cleared out of the way. When
the current was cut off the sad
die was removed, and in
ten minutes the street car
company had settled for the
price of the horse with the rider.
Repairs were soon made and the
cars proceeded to clear the block

Several persons witnessed the
accident and say the negro had a
very narrow escape from death.

A Socialist Book

"Sophos, or the Kidnapping Of
the Kings" is the startling title Of
Albert Alberg's latest book, which
clearly shows how the socialists
can effect the ends for which they
are striving, by the wholesale cap
ture and transportation of all the
monarchs of Europe. No publish
er in Berlin, London or Paris could
be found bold enough to print it.
Boston and New York houses de-
clared it too revolutionary. AS
"Sophos" reveals an intimate &C
quaintance with the various poll
teal intrigues now in progress at
the different courts of Europe, it is
not surprising that several foreign
emissaries have been secretly sent
to this country for the purpose Of
preventing the publication of this
volume. The publishers however,
have steadily declined all over
lures, among which was one from
the Anti-Socialist society of Berlin,
of which it is well known that the
young Emperor William, the Gar,
and Signor Crispi are active men,
bers. The book will be issued in a
few days by the Bow-Knot Pub
fishing company, of Chicago, with
a portrait and biography of its dar-
ing author.

A factory or industry that would
turn out one million dollars bust
ness annually for the benefit of the
town, would be considered a great
institution. We have just such an
institution, but it is not a factory,
it is Uncle Sans military estab-
lishment at Post Sam Houston.
NY banker friend can easily see
one of the factors of what keeps
San Antonio up, and will help keep
it up in the future, if he will visit
Post Sam Houston, one of the fin
est military posts in the United
States, established and built DUR
ing good Republican times, when
the Republican party ruled and
practiced economy by being liberal ;
even the flag that kissed the wind
from the flag pole was bigger than
now.
San Antonio is a great educa-
cational center; our private insti-
tutions,as well as our public schools
draw to our city large sum of
money annually.
Incidentally / have mentioned
that the landlords Of the 800 vacant
houses, reported by the assessor,
are at loss to know the reason,
and the reader might jump at the
conclusion that it evidenced a loss
of population, but when we turn
to the city building record we find
that since the LIST of January AL
permits have been issued, agregat-
ing the sum of $243, ITO valuation,
and for the month of May, in
cluded in this record, l03 permits
were issued for structures to cost
$57, 4S0. This shows if there are
vacant houses, San Antonio keeps
right on growing in wealth and
population.

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-The human race
is nearly ten centuries older than science
had knowledge of before as result of the
extensive explorations of the ruins OF
Niffer, near ancient Babylon, as described
in a report to the state department by
Minister Terrell at ConstantiEople. These
explorations are being mai. at the ex-
pensc of Philaaclphians. and DIR. Peters
and Professor Hilpricht, of .lie University
of Pennsylvania, have supervised the
work.
Many tons of tables, vases, inscribed
bricks, sarcopha2i and tire like have been

ship of the God Bel is more clearly known,
his colossal temple with its l3) rooms has
been exposed and the religion, govern.

Tariff Reform.

No nation can reform itself by
what the newspapers call tremend Gus
cheers a man OF wisdom has de-
clared The path is hard and in the
journ'y there are pitfalls and walls
which STAY the most ambitious feet.
Ii was n matter of mere amateur OBJ
servat on to predict the reaction Of
the people against the results of
their leadlong charge in 1892. The
length of the action was measurable
by the action. A .'clean sweep" in
1892 was bound to be followed by q
Gland. Tide" in 1894.
This has been the history Of the re-
form movements since the beginning
Of TIM and the fact is especially APP
plicabe to the present case because
of the seriousness of the question in
volved. Only blank enthusiasm
could believe that a system on which
great institutions and industries af-
fecting the whole life OF the nation
were dependent could be attacked
and o,erthrown in few years. The
rearra igement of conditions. the
saddliIg of the movement with bad
men who invariably attempt to ride
into lower on every great popular
impulse, the hardships imposed upon
workirgmen in the interval Of transit
tion. combined to give the natural.
health 'ul setback to tariff reform.
But we must believe that tn de-
feat is merely temporary. The re.
publicIns returning to power will
not. dare not, restore the Ubiquitous
Mckinley bill. So much of the re-
form las been accomplished. More
than his. we dare to say that the
election has been an argument for
the adjustment of the tariff. The
notion that the prosperity of trade
must be dependent on the rise or fall
of one political party is intolerable.
The sooner business is put out Of
politics the better for business and
the better for politics. And the two
cannot be divorced until protection
ceases To have the adherence of a
consid srable number OF the people
and the protective tariff is wiped
from tne books.
