1t is now a settled and accepted
fact that the Cleveland Carlisle

All that San Antonio needs is to

FOR GOOD GOVERNMENT.

FOR GOOD GOVERNMENT.
1t is to be sincerely hoped that
in the approaching municipal con-
test all matters OF personal or
partisan character will be set aside
for the good of the city. There are
important matters that will chal-
lenge the attention OF the city ad-
ministration and call forth the best
endeavors of the City Council to
deal wisely with them. The mat
ter of the supervision OF the build.

water and light supply and ser.

O rably with the companies supply

vision of street improvement and

condition; the necessary measures
for the collection Of the taxes so
that the revenues shall not be un-
necessarily depleted; the proper
allowance for contingencies in col
lections so that the estimated re-
venue shall not fall thousands be.

Gus extension of the Inequalities
of the city to such visiting asso-
Citations as will commend the city
to the favorable notice Of other
states and sections Of our own
state; the passage Of such ordi-
nances as will most surely conduce
to the order, health and freedom
of all the citizens; the regulation
of all such houses of pleasure or
indulgence as will allow the larg-
est license with the least danger
to the peace OF the city; the wis

moved by prejudice or passion,
with all the interests OF the city
these are the matters that are to
be considered in deciding upon the
selection of the Mayor and the AL
dermen. All good citizens, with.
out regard to party or previous af-
filiations in rings or cliques, should
combine together for the purposes
Of this election and place them
selves on record as placing the in
terests of San Antonio before
every other consideration. The
possibilities OF the city's future
are in the hands of the next
city council and one or two
Of its immediate successors.
The preservation Of the natu-
raj beauties of the place will soon
be beyond possibility unless
larger mindedness and a true re-
gard for all that concers the city's
health and beauty characterizes
the members of the City Council.
1t is not saying one word too much
to say that the past government Of
this city has resulted in the des-
truction Of much of it's native
beauty, and that this destruction
is liable to initiate greatly against
her present and future develop
ment. The one want OF tho city is
a council of broad minded intelli-
gent men, men with a true sense
OF the real needs OF the city and
the courage to make the supply of
these wants their personal concern.
San Antonio is poorly governed,
in that she is so poorly represented
in all that really makes for her
cleanliness, Identification and
adornment. 1t is time that a City
Council, of a different stripe from
too many of the bodies that have
governed her in the past, should
be elected. The LIGHT counsels
such an election in February.

without doing despite to the feel

FIELD DAY IN HOUSE
Factory inspectors Bill
Vote ReSCInded.
WILL BE TAKEN UP TUESDAY
High School Bond Matter is Dropped
For the Present.

The Senate had very short session to-
day. The business done was of a purely
routine character.
The House had a regular field day today.
Some members were dissatisfied that the
Factory Inspection bill was disposed OF so
summarily yesterday, so the vote by
which 1t was passed was reconsidered and
II went over with he understanding that
It would be taken up next Tuesday.
The next matter OF Importance was the
act In regard To registry voters showing
their papers To Boards OF Canvassers
This act provides for showing them only
once, instead OF once year az now. A
lively debate ensued, participated in by
Messrs. Honey, Garvin, Robinson, West
Mulhollapd and Mccarthy on the DEM
ocratic side, and by Messrs. Wilson,
Bowen and Allen on the Republican-sl side.
The act was finally passed without a re-
sort to the roll call.
A resolution appropriating Il 200 TO
complete the Adiutant Generals reports
OF 1865, was reported back from the FL.
nance Committee and was passed.
A resolution calling for a cer,ifie copy
Of the opinion OF the supreme court on
the Newport muddle was passed, being
recommended by the judiciary Commit
tee.
Several other matters were reported
back but before action was taken on them
the House adjourned at 20 O'Clock p. m.
High school Bond Hearing.
A hearing was given by the Senate Ju-
dietary Committee today upon the act
aut thorizing the issuance OF 200, 600 bonds
for the erection Ola new High school in
this city.
aThe hearing was attended by ex. Gov.
Davis, Alderman O'Reilly, Councilman
Arnold, Messrs. Tobie, McGregor and
Wilson OF the School Board and the City
Solicitor.
uMr. Barne6eld explained the nature OF
the act, and mildly advocated it.
Major Tobie and the other members Of
the School Board also advocated the
passage OF the enabling act.
Alderman O'Reilly opposed the act In
it's present form and called attent ion to
the fact that the resolution asking for
this legislation was not passed by the
present City Council, but by the Council
Of last year.
He thought the sum asked for was
double the amount which the present
Council would allow, and many OF the ad
vocstes agreed with him.
The matter was hen dropped until such
time as a more specific resolution IL re-
ceived from the City Council OF Paw
tucket.

Marvellous Yankee Invention

Among the innumcrable exhibits In the
Manufacturers, building at the Worlds Fair
there was one of such unique design that
even i'm that wilderness of interesting things,
1t attracted much attention. II consisted OF
two wax figures, the one girl, sitting, and
the other man, standing upon IA simple
platform. The man was leaning toward the
girl as though he were explaining to her the
design of n small crescent-shaped piece OF
rubber cloth which he held in his hand
More lifelike figures than these were never
seen in Nine. Tussaud's or any other eNhibi
tion Of wax works I'm the world. Many
people approached this group and looked in
to the mans face, wondering why he stood
silent. when they discovered their error
they bit their lips and moved away, only to
return in little while 10 see what those wax
figures meant. The figure of the man bore
the countsnance of Jared II. Canfield, the in.
ventor OF the famous Garfield seamless dress
shield. The other represented one OF the
prettiest girls in Bridgeport. Conn.-an en-.
ployee of the factory at which these shields
are now m ade by the million-whom he was
instructing how tn make the article.
The Canfield seamless dress shield itself is
too well known To need description. or the
steady growth and the present enormous bus.
mess of the company that manufacturers
them, however, the public knows but little.
When the Canfield Rubber Company was or.
ganized in lss2, its capital was $1,000, and It's
plant consisted OF one small building and n
few machines. Today, although the capital
has been increased only To $4,000, with n
surplus OF another quarter of million, the
the company manufactures over i,OW,WO
pairs OF dress shields every year, transacting
an annual business OF over sl,DO,oo, and
having head Offices In New York, London
and Paris.
Mr.. Ratclife Hicks, the President OF the
company, Is man Of remarkable business
ability. His success Is due, not more Ia the
selfrecommending article he set out 10 man.
ufacture. than TO his untiring and ingenious
efforts TO make every woman IN the land
give IL AT least one trial. In recognition OF
the appreciation OF these women, which has
built up the industry. Mr.. Hicks has now an.
nounced a scheme by which few OF them
will receive a token Of the company graft
tude. To the three women who make the
best guesses a. to the number Of shields sold :
lst, In the United states; 2d, In Europe, and
81 In all the world, In ls3, he offers free
Cook excursion ticket Ia Europe and return.
Or, II they prefer the money, they viii re.
ceive t3O0. t9Oo and $50 respectively for the
best guess In each OF the three classes All
guesses must be mailed to 73 Warren street,

AT THE OLD STAND.

p. 3. McManus & Co. Moving Back From
Cranston Where the Works Have been Since
the Fire.
About one year ago the Home Bleach &
Dye Works owned by p. Il. McManus 4
Co., situated on Pleasant View near the
Massac husetts line, were totally destroyed
by fire and only few months previous
the works at Valley Falls, operated by
MIR. McMsnus, also served a. food for the
flames. IL was rather hard blow, but
like the pushing, progressive business
man that ne has shown himself to be, Mr..
hcManus leased a plant near Cranston
and continued his business there. He
Immediately began operations at the site
of the Old Home Bleach 4 Dye Works
preparatory to rebuilding.
The work has been pushed rapidly and
today one OF the finest bleaching and
dyeing plants In the country has risen,
Pbenix- like, out OF the ruins Of one year
ago. The structure Is of brick and the
main building Is 1Si K 81 feet and three
stories In height. Smaller buildings are
grouped around IL, containing the Office,
boiler rooms, etc.
This week the work of moving back
from Cranston to the new plant began
and work has been temporarily suspended,
In about two weeks operations Will be
begun at the new Home Bleach Il Dye
Works with double the capacity and
business OF one short year ago.

The prospects for baseball team IN the

city grows brighter every day and the
committee appointed at the recent meet

men with regard to the placing of stock
have met with gratifying success. Those
who have been approached have given
their promise to lend their assistance in

now assured and all wanted Is
the formation OF a sound solid stock COM
pany with good officers In charge and at
the end OF the season those who hold
stock will have the pleasure OF realizing
as much on their Investment as Fall River
people did last season, which was over
100 per cent. The time is now ripe for
decided action and with that end In view
James Il. Kelly has telegraphed Manager
Frank II. Leonard at Lynn to come down,

THE SOUP HOUSE.
Said That II will Be Located on Pleasant
Street To Be Opened Sunday.

The soup house project may come to a
head Sunday for Manager Doran said
last night that he expected to dispense
free soup and other eatables on
that day in one OF the unoccupied build
ings on Pleasant street. He said he had
been around soliciting contributions and
that Mayor Tiepke started the list with
$40.
Or hers had promised to contribute and
in all, collected and promised, he had
about go. Care should be taken not to
have the hour OF serving meals conflict
with those OF Corbett's Mission or any
other place where food Is given, for the
"rounders" cannot be In two places at
once.
Care should also be taken that only
those who actually need food should get
any or the soup house may become a
nuisance instead a blessing. There may
be some people in want, but there are
many who think there is no need OF any
such arrangement. II there were any
need of it the matter should have been
taken In hand three months ago.
Every mill and shop in Pawtucket is
running either foil time, or nearly so, and
those who Will patronize this soup house
"iA' NV be ihpoS W ho tOhb VI WoTks
There has been great hue and cry, but
there has been no actual cases of starva-
tion In Pawtucket, although, no doubt,
there has been in other cities. The fact
Is that some people wish to pose as phil
antrophists while others wish to get fat
thing.
People who are always found "uphold.
ing the honor of Pawtucket" ought to
consider how 1t wilt sound to have the
fact sent broadcast over the country that
Pawtucket has been Obliged to establish a
soup house.
There is no actual need of IT, for IL there
are any cases OF want, assistance could be
given in far different manner. Look at
Providence and Olneyviiie; with all the
distress in the latter place, with the big
strike and starvation staring thousa nds
of working people in the face, they hesi-
tated about establishing such precedent
as soup house and they did not, alt hough b
thousands were assisted In a quiet man

THE BOSTONS WON,
Providence Leaders Not in
Last Nights Game.
A SUB-STATE BALL LEAGUE.
Kangaroos Defeated by Whalers After
an Exciting Contest.

The winning Of last nights game by
Cotter's men and the defeat of Lynn by
New Bedford put Boston on even terms
with the Grays In the standing.
The game between Providence and Bos-
ton brought out the largest attendance OF
the season at the Casino, but the cham
pions were out for blood and conseque Mt
ly the Grays were not u the game at any
stage.
Swords work In goal for the Bostons
was brilliant and assisted by Everett
made defence that could not be penetra.
ted. BY the form displayed by the Bos.
tons 1t is evident that they are still In the
race. Score, Bostons, 7; Providence, 1.
New Bedford. 8; Lynn. 4.
Lynn outplayed the New Bedfords at
every point in the first two innings OF last
nights game and had the score to with
only seven minutes to play. BY fine team
work the Whalers tied the score and the
time limit came with the clubs on even
terms. The extra inning resulted in the
finest exhibition Of polo playing ever seen
In New Bedford. Cunningham won the
game on pass from George Smith In
eleven minutes.
A Sub-S'ats League.
There is considerable talk among the
lesser amateur base ball teams OF the
Blackstone Valley OF organizing a SUBJ
State league. 1t is thought that an or
gan ization could be perfected and be run
on a paying basis. A meeting has been
called for this evening, when all matters
concerning the new league will be dis
cussed. Representatives from Manville,
Albion, Ashton, North Attleboro, Ions
dale and Pawtucket are expected to at
tend the meeting, and 1t 10 proposed to
have team in each Of these villages.
For sa5 Side.
Next Thursday evening the wine clerks
Of this city and Central Falls will play
another game of polo for s25 a side in
Temperance Hall, High street. The Paw
tucket team was beaten In the last game
and now they want satisfact ion. Previous
to the game there will be a contest be-
tween two teams from Pleasant View.
Sports of All Sorts.
Keeler, who Manager Leonard brought
out from an obscure amateur to one OF
the best basemen In the professional
ranks IN one season, has signed with
Baltimore.
Hugh Duffy OF the Bostons, who has
been spending the Winter at Redlands,
Cal, Is expected home next week.
The Lynns play tonight at Infantry Hall,
and as only six points separate them from
the Grays one OF the best games OF the
season is looked for. The rooters and
cranks will turn out In full force. Boston
plays at Worcester.
With the home games the Grays should
manage to get back into first place with
margin, especially as they will have a
chance to send the Bostons down a few
notches tomorrow night, when Tom Cot
ter's Reds will be at Infantry Hall.
The closeness Of the present race keeps
up he interest, and renders the games to
be played especially interesting. Either
OF the irst four teams Is eligible for the
pennant.
