SOME GOOD BALL.
Local Team Put up Fine Exhibition
YesterdaV

The rooters that fail to turn out to wit
ness baseball games played by San Anto-
Mo home talent are missing something
they'll have reason to repent when
the reason is over. When there is no base
ball. the cry goes up: What's the
matter with baseball; no more ball
games?"
There are now four teams in this city.
They are playing as good ball as has ever
been seen here.
The West End Browns defeated the
Fort Sam HoustOns in an exciting game
at the Jockey club grounds yesterday
afternoon by a score of 7 to 2. The game
was interesting throughout, but the
Browns were TOO much for their Oppon-
entS.
1t required ten innings to decide the
game at San Pedro park between the
SantOnes and the SarranS. The Santones
led the score up to last inning, when 1t
was to T. The Sarrans then scored
twice on errors. In the tenth, with two
men on the bases, a double Dagger brought
in two runs for the SantOnes and they
scored two more in that inning. The
SarranS were shut out in their part Of the
tenth and the game ended with 10 to 6.
The crowds, although small were very
enthusiastic and highly pleased with the
games

the men who represent us at Washington,

Louisiana did the chances are that the

The Judge stated that he was not ac-
customed to talking; In fact he had cul-
tivated the habit during his long term OF
office of saying as little as possible, and he
would make his address short.
The bill which Is TO become law on
Monday" he continued, will cause a
permanency of our present business de-
preston. and as 1t is against American
principles to adopt laws that will decrease
wages l believe that this measure shall
be condemned and rppudiated. To that
end shall strive, and If the people will
use their good offices at the coming cleo
tion in my behalf they will be but en-

RoBBY IS DEAD.
Spending Several Months Here, He
Left for st. Louis.

i
Less than a month ago William II.
| Robinson, of St. Louis, was in San Anto-
Mo for the benefit of his health. He then
left for st. Louis, and yesterday the sad
news was received OF his death, which oc-
Cured Saturday. A few years ago Rob
by or "Ganky," as he was familiarity
known, was one of the greatest baseball
players that ever lived. He played Sec
ond base for the famous st. Louis Brown
Stockings. when that team won the
worlds championship. Three years ago
he played with the Cincinnati Red Stock
ingS. The latter part of that season he
contracted cold, which soon developed
into bronchitis, and for the past two
years "Robby," who formerly touched
the scales in the neighborhood of IT'S
pounds, was walking around living
skeleton.
When Arson let Pfeffer 60 to Louis
vile he wanted "Robby" to play second
for the Chicagos, but poor Yank was al
ready in bad health and could not accept
the offer. I've had several good offers
since I've been SICK" said Robby to a
reporter for the LIGHT in con-
yerSation, when he was here, but
have been unable, to accept any
of them. | don't think I'll ever be
able to play ball again, for | fear am
getting worse every day" Since Pfetfer
has been away from Chicago, Arson has
always wanted a second baSeman. and if
he could have had Robinson the ChicagoS
would no doubt have made better show
ing in the race.
Robinson came to San Antonio last fall
ard spent tho raantime in this city,
Boerna and KerrvilIe. When the BOS-
toms were here last winter "RObby" was
stopping at the Southern and the whole
team called on him. He was eS-
peCially delighted to see his
old friend, Thomas Mccarthy, the
famous left fielder of the Bean Eaters.
who played with RObby on the Browns.
Robinson was also a great friend of Dad
Phelan. and Dad sat up with his sick
comrade many an hour and tried TO make
the future look bright for him. Robby
died at the home of Oliver Tebean, the
manager and captain of the Cleveland
Spiders = asrssstss

THE BUSINESS MANS LUNCH.
Hard Work and Indigestion 90
Hand In Hand.

Concentrated thought, continued IN, roba
the stomach Of necessary blood, and this 10
also true of hard physical labor
When a five horsepower engine Is made
to do ten horsepower work something Is
going to break. Very often the hard
worked man coming from the field or the
Office will bolt " his food in few miti-
utes which will take hours to digest. Then
too, many foods are about as useful in the
stomach as a key Of nails would be in q
fire under boiler. The ill-used stomach
refuses to do its work without the proper
stimulus which 1t gets from the blood and
nerves. The nerves are weak and ready
to break" because they do not get the
nourisliment they require from the blood,
finally the iIl-used brain Is moybidlywde
, awake when the oVerworked man at,
tempts TO find rest in bed.
Tie application of common sense IN the
treatment Of the stomach and the whole
system brings to the busy man the full en-,
joyment Of life and healthy digestion when
he takes Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets TO
relieve bilious stomach or after too
hearty meal, and DR.. Perce's Golden
Medical Discovery to purify, enrich and
vitalize the blood. The Pellets are tiny
sugar coated pills made Of highly concen-
/ trated vegetable ingredients which relieve
the stomach of all offending matters easily
and thoroughly. They need only be taken
for short time to cure the bliousness,
constipation and slotlifulness or torpor, Of
the liver; then tic Medical Discovery"
should be taken in teaspoonfil doses TO in-,
crease the blood and enrich It, 1t has a
peculiar effect upon the lining membranes
Of the stomach and bowels toning Tip and
strengthening them for all time. The
whole system feels the effect Of the pure
blood coursing through the body and the
nerves are vitalizcd and strengthened, not
deadened or put 10 sleep, as the socaled
celery compounds and nerve mixtures do
but refreshed and fed on the food they
need for health If you suffer from indi-.
gestion, dyspepsia, nervousness, and any
of the ills which come from impure blood
aud disordered stomach, you can cnre,

Ilnyntinn Geometrr.

The Ahmes papyrus doubtless rep
resents the most advanced attain
ments Of the Egyptians in arithmetic
and geometry IL is remarkable that
they should have reached so great
proficiency in mathematics at so re-
mote a period OF antiquity. But
strange indeed, is the fact that, dur
ing the next 1000 years they should
have made no progress whatsoever in
it,
All the knowledge of geometry
which they possessed when Greek
scholars visited them, six centuries
b. g., was doubtless known to them
1000 years earlier, when they built
those stupendous and giganti struct-
ures the pyramids. An explanation
for this stagnation of learning has
been sought in the fact that their
early discoveries in mathematics ana
medicine had the misfortune of being
entered upon their sacred books, and
that, in after years, it was considered
heretical 10 augment or modify any,
thing therein, Thus the books them

Old Superstitions.

1t is curious to observe how MANY
strange ideas and superstitions have
been handed down to us by our great
grandmothers, many OF which are still
firmly believed in in remote country
places, particularly by the peasants in

verbal with our grandmothers that
A maiden should never be married
in colors if she wishes to be happy

Widows who re-marry ought to be

The thirteenth of the month is un-
fortunate for all purposes.

find her face filling out, and the air
which will be driven in and out Of
