"Honeymooners."

With a brand new opera and
brand new effects brought together
with careful judgment and unlim-
tied expense Pauline Hall appears
in "The Honeymooners," at the
Grand opera house Friday and Sat
urday and Saturday matinee.
Miss Halls voice and personal
charms so long the jealousy guard
ed possession of New York City,
have become in the last four sea-
sons the popular prize of the
American play-goer at large.
She addresses the public this sea-
son with the best production that
has ever possessed her talents.
"The HoneymoOners" is the latest
fruit of the joint genius of G.. M. S.
Mcclellan, (the editor of the Town
Topics, the librettist, and VIM.
Furst, the composer of "The Isle of
Champagne"
1t is designed to be a grand con-
gress of mirth, melody and splen-
did spectacle, and from the judg-
ment and Indifference to cost exer-
cised by the management in Sc
curing company costumes and eff
fects, there is no doubt that the
aim has been reached.
Accompanying her is Richard
Golden, a comedian of the first
rank and largest salary, and the
balance Of the company contains
such artists as Caroline Hamilton,
late prima-donna of the Bostonians,
and others we'll known.

Prof. Boltz' Funeral.

The funeral of the late Prof. F.
BoltZ took place from the family
residence, at the corner Of Avenue
ID and Eighth street, yesterday af-
ternoon. 1t was one of the largest
ever seen in the city, and was at
tended by some of San AntOniO's
leading citizens. Deceased was a
prominent member Of three we'll
known societies - the Kranken
Kassen Nerein, of which he was
elected secretary at the last meet
ing, prior to his death; the Sunset

Alamo Baptist Revival.

Another large and interesting

Williams last night. His text
eco into all the world and preach
the gospel to all nations, ETC."

incidents with the moral applica-
ton that he who believes and is
baptized shall be saved, but who
does not is to be, or will be damned

The speaker, during his sermon,
scored some of the public thorough
fares, in particular Avenues "C'
and I'D" as the most miserable
humpty dumpty excuse for San
Antonio streets he had ever seen ;
they were full of mud, water and
filth, and a disgrace to the city.
Pulling back to his text he con-
cluded with an appeal that "whom-

water of life freely"
The meetings will continue for

al time in the forenoon and even

Additional Railroad News.

E. Hough, special correspondent
for Forest and Stream, a popular
sporting journal, arrived in the
city from Chicago last Monday.
He left for: Rockport yesterday,
where he will remain about ten
days to write up that country for
his paper. Mr.. HOugh came here
at the special request of Mr.. f. J.
Martin, general freight and
passenger agent of the San Antonio

will go to Chicago and New York,
Milton Everett writes from
Rockport that the citizens of that
place are making extensive ar

The action of the city council de-

Mahncke, seems to have been

of large number of young people,

WHAT HE SAID,

And he Gave Some Pertinent Sug-
gestions for ALI to Heed.
The train from Kerrville last
night had a large consignment of
hogs which were consigned north
to be converted into bacon and
hams. A prominent citizen, stand
ing at the Arkansas Pass depot,
said, "That's how we do it. We
send our hogs to Chicago and pay
freight on the live animal. Then
we buy our bacon and ham
and pay freight on it, when
we could just as well kill
the hogs here, cure them, give
work to the unemployed, and save
double freight charges. 1t is so
with our wool, our hides, and other
things, and we simply enrich other
cities at our own expense. By the
simple aid Of local capitalists, and
the cooperation of labor, we could
have our packeries and factories,
that would bring money here in
stead of sending it away, would
give work to our people and en-
nance the Importance of the city.
This is fact, and why the people
don't realize it, Pm at a loss to
know. They will do so later, but in
the meantime, San Antonio is los
ing in every way"

Distress in San Antonio.

To the LIGHT:
You remark in the LIGHT of yes
terday, "Happily our city is not in
a distressed condition; there is no
demand, on the part Of our resident
population, for charity" Remov-
ing this little from the context,
that of your opposition to feeding
unworthy people at soup houses,
still / fear, it will convey the i'm
preston that restitution does not
exist in San Antonio.
Perhaps there has been no harder
winter for many years than the
present, and there is no day l am
not called upon to look into and
assist cases of severe necessity. ]
think it may be mOdestly claimed
that the reason why more people
have not made an cutlery about
their need this season in the city
has been because the Relief society
has been doing it's work quietly,
and, to a considerable degree, eff.
GENTLY
The society deserves, | feel, the
encouragement of the public, and
its forty odd members at the pres
ent time ought to be increased tC
hundreds. In our efforts to system.
atize the matter of charity, we
ought to have the help of all good
citizens, and to this end we look
for the valued and continued sup.

old ,'osidents many interesting inn
pressions received when the church
was in process of construction.
"Can you recall" said the pastor of
Kawaiahao church, "any of the facts
or incidents connected with the build
ing of the old stone church,"
"Oh yes," replied the old resident,
"I well remember the lines of rude
trucks with their creakipg wheels,
loaded with coral blocks, cut from the
ocean reefs at low tide, being dragged
mast our house into the church yard;
each truck fitted to strong ropes,
which were manned by six or eight
pairs of partly-clad stalwart Hawaii
ans, with strong, willing hands, who
with a great deal of shouting, or ac-
companying the whole with sort OF
chanting song, pulled together at the
command of their lunas till they
brought their loads within the church
enclosure and piled them in various
spots all around the slowly rising
walls as directed.

their pulleys and ropes, and often

neighboring lots. All these were con-

SON to congratulate themselves on the
result.
The hall was elaborately decorated
with flags, palms, and festoons OF
black and gold. About the orchestra
stand large Hawaiian flag was
draped, caught up here and there with
clusters of ferns. From the center OF
the hall were festoons of black and
gold, while around the sides OF the
floor enclosure, bunting of red, white,
and blue, with decorations OF palms,
ferns and dropping asparagus made a
pretty background for the costumes Oh
the lady friends of the club.
The decoration was the work OF the
wives and lady friends OF the members
of the club, and reflected great credit
upon those who had SO kindly lent
their aid.
The guests were received at the en-
trance of the hall by the president and
vice-president of the club, Prince ka-
wananakoa and Mr.. George Il. Smith

While the guests were arriving the
Quintette club rendered native songs.
1t was nearly o'clock when the
strains of the opening dance were
heard. Over fifty couples responded
| and their number was augmented as
the evening progressed by many late
arrivals. The dance programme in
cluded fourteen dances interspersed
with native songs by the Quintette.
The order of dances from the Ha-
waiian Gazette print, were printed on
very tasty folders on which the club
flag printed in the black and gold
occupied a prominent place. These
orders made very pretty souvenir OF

A Costly Walk.

1t has been left to st. Louis busi-
ness man to construct gravel walk,
neither long nor strikingly beautiful,
that is modern if comparatively hum
BILE rival of the glistening highways of
fiction and fable, for it represents
$15, 900 hard cash.
Edward p. Kinsella, Vice-president
of the Hanley Kinsella Coffee Com
pany, is the proud possessor of this
unique walk. 1t is composed of sew
eral tons of Brazilian pebbles that
came to him in an ordinary business
way during the past few years.
This firm are heavy importers of
Brazilian coffee Before the berries
are ready to be roasted for the market
the sacks are opened and the contents
carefully examined for twigs, leaves
and other impurities, the latter gen
orally taking the shape of small peb-
bles about the size of coffee berry.
These came with such regularity and
in such quantities that long ago the
idea they were accidentally in the sacks
was abandoned, and the conclusion re-
luctantly reached that they were pur-
posely placed in the bags to make
weight. The daily discoveries of these
Brazilian pebbles will fill an ordinary
water bucket. The importers pay for
coffee. Two years ago Mr.. Kinsella
concluded to utilize this apparent evil
dence of dishonesty of the far away
coffee packer, and had the accumula-
tion of pebbles carted out to his hand
boulevard, No. 1923, where they were
used to make handsome garden walk.
The pebbles represent weight that in
coffee would be worth $4,000. The
gravel path is each month being added
to, and 1t is but n question of time
when Mr. Kinsella will have the most
expensive piece of garden path in the
world. Louis Globe-Democrat

Fooled Him Twice.

The examinations at certain

boys were working busily over their
papers and the grim old professor was
watching sharply from his desk. Pres
emily he noticed that one of the stu
dents, prominent ne'er dowell, was
consulting his watch with considera-

him. In five minutes he had looked
at the timepiece three times. This
was enough for the guardian. He
called the student to his desk and de-
manded the watch. 1t was given him
and he opened it. Across the face was
a piece of paper bearing the legend
"Fooled." But the worthy professor
was not to be so easily deceived. He
gave the student a sharp, knowing
glance, turned the timepiece over and
opened the back cover. 1t opened
with considerable difficulty, and, be-
hold, there was another slip of paper
bearing the information, "fooled
