A Grand Sale,

A reporter for "The LIGHT" call
ed at the Mammoth Carriage Re-
pository and Sales stable of Messrs.
Woodward & Briggs, on South
Flores stress, to see what class OF
horses were to be offered, and how
the big auction sale on Saturday,
the 18th inst, would be conducted.
After being shown the really mag
nificent lot of horses and mares re-
Gently brought from Missouri, we
enquired of Mr.. Woodward how
they could put such fine class Of
horses up at auction for what they
would bring, regardless of cost.
AS Mr.. Woodward expressed it,
"We are going to sell every horse
put up il we lose money on the
sale; we will in this way come face
to face with many buyers, learn
their wants, who, il not finding
what they desire at this sale, he
can procure and furnish them at
any time. We are here to stay, and
the sooner the people find out that
this is the place for bargains in
carriages, horses, buggies and
wagons, the better for us and our
customers. l trust the people will
not neglect this opportunity, but
come and be convinced that I'VE
are the people, and our goods are
the best. Also please state that
the sale will commence promptly

It Takes Money.

With a business guarantee of
about $4,000 a year a first-class
afternoon paper could be printed
in San Antonio. But when you
talk of starting morning paper, it
would take more cash money than
there is in some of our banks.
Moral support and sentiment never
yet built up first.class paying
newspaper. 1t takes good business
management, and the patronage OF
such business men as Wolfson, the
Joskes, Wolff d Marx, and few
others like them in San Antonio
This thing of raising a little cash
pot for some new man, or adven.
turer, as has been many times done
in San Antonio, is the height OF
folly; it's like pouring water in a
rat hole.
First build up first-class after
noon paper, by liberal patronage,
and when the English reading
people in San Antonio increase
about ten thousand, the morning
paper will come without any bonus
also several smaller afternoon
Journals.

Leaves as Fodder.

About a year ago Mr.. Girard
created great interest in agricul-
tural circles by his strenuous ad-
vocacy of tree leaves as cattle food.
He held that the leaves Of trees, as
compared with other folders,
showed a high nourishing ratio,
whether fresh or dried, and that
sertain tree leaves are not sur.
passed as fodder by the products
OF natural prairies or pasture lands.
European farmers, among whom
the French have taken the lead,
have been Systematically testing
II. Girard's ideas by placing their
cattle on a tree-Ieaf diet. The
results are said to be most encour-
aging. The leaves after being
picked are spread on the barn floor
to the depth of 3 or 4 inches and
are turned once a day. The pro-
cess of drying takes from three to
five days, according to the weather
and when dried the leaves are
piled up ready for use. 1t is found
advisable to prepare each days
supply twenty-four hours before.
hand, when small quantity of
chopped turnips is mixed with the
leaves, and the whole is left, to
ferment. Mich COWS thrive sur,
prisingly on this fodder. The degree
of nutrition afforded by different
trees varies considerably in fac
some trees were entirely rejected
The final selection of the French
farmers was narrowed down to tn,
leaves of five trees, the hazel, aspen
ash, elm and willow.

SOFT SNAPS.

Judge Noonan is good for SOC
majority in Kinney county.
Comal and Kendall counties
are safe for Noonan by a good ma
jority.
Judge Noonan will have a soft
snap in beating Gus Houston $500
votes in Bexar county.
If Tom Paschal is beaten for the
nomination Judge Noonan will
have a soft snap in carrying a big
majority in Kerr county.
If there is any one in San Anto-
Mo who will vote against Noonan
for Congress, he whispers it mighty
low.
1t is to be hoped the Democratic
convention at Dallas Will instruct
delegates to come back home and
run straight tickets. Noonan will
then win with hands down.
The wool and cattle men of West
Texas can now weep together over
the Wilson bill. They will dry
their tears and vote for Noonan for
Congress.
The City Council should be as.
semi led and a resolution passed
requiring Mr.. Weiss to operate his
cars within twenty-four hours or
forfeit the franchise. Fifty cents
day won't do.

WHO'S AFRAID?
The Vermont Girls in Knickerbock'
ers and Riding Astride.

The Vermont Girls in Knickerbock-
ers and Riding Astride.
From the Boston Transcript.
The aristocrStic little town OF
Brattleboro, VT, has won no little
notoriety through the action OF its
lady riders. They have unanim-
ously declared themselves in favor
of reform by adopting a mans
saddle and divided skirt as neces-
sary items Of an equestrian outfit,
and the sight Of woman riding
astride is sufficiently common to
quiet comment. The idea origin
ated with a few ladies whose un
disputed social standing and
ample means warranted indepen-
dence of action, and whose exam
pie was sure to be followed. The
fad became serious matter when
medical appreciation, personal
comfort and added grace gave a
tremendous impetus to the idea.
For some months the custom has
held universal sway, and even the
summer guests who were inclined
to look askance at the masculine
position have surrendered to the
general enthusiasm, and the fall
promises to bring a radical change
in that most enjoyable of all
sports.
A lady of unquestioned authority
on this subject informs us that the
habit is as carefully made and as
correct in detail as the regulation
riding Ihabit. Dainty boots, trous-
ers, taultlessly fitting waist, cor
rect hat and gloves are not new
ideas; but the full, bifurcated skirt
is the sole point of difference. A
row of buttons and buttonholes,
both in the front and back, allow
the garment to assume the proper
outline of skirt, and skirt which
Just clears the ground. "The full
ness about the waist" as our infor.
mant particularizes, increases the
apparent size of the hips, while
this manner Of riding is said to
increase the size in reality. 1t is
said to be the only drawback to the
idea, and a drawback only to
women whose hips are naturally
of good proportions" An expert
in the management of the skirt
which is Away tightly buttoned
when issuing forth or returning to
the house, makes few quick
movements with her hands, thus
separating the two sides, accom-
plishes graceful spring, very like
a man, and is in place no adjust
ing OF skirts, for each portion falls
naturally into place.
Viewed from either side, we are
told, there is nothing to offend the
most fastidious taste. A front or
back view gives an odd impress
sion which is quickly swallowed
in admiration for the firm seat
and graceful bearing Of the rider.
Even the children are taught the
manner of riding, but in their
case the ordinary short skirt of
childhood is worn with CATERS eX-
tending to the knee. Riding has
become so fashionable that at
times the Capaciy Of the BrattIe-
boro stables has been severely
taxed. AS yet no riding teacher
has been willing to indorse the
idea, but general appreciation will
probably have considerable intlu-
ence upon them.

WILL RESIST oLNEY'S CLAIM.

Mrs. Stanford Not Inclined to Pay That
$4,000, OOO-A Lsg,G View.
SAN FRANCISCO June 7.-Great excite
ment has been caused mere by the claim
for SIS. 0o0, 900 filed against the Stanford
estate by Attorney General Olney as a
preliminary step to force the govern
ment's claim against the original holders
OF the Central Pacific grant. Mrs. STAN
ford in an interview has stated that the
governments claim will be resisted to the
fullest extent of her ability. She regards
the proceedings in the nature of a test
case, and is not surprised at the filing of
the claim. Further than these state
ments she will not talk. An idea of the
probable defense was given by Mr.. Will
son, Mrs. Stanford's attorney.
u In an interview he said: 1.-The opinion of
the attorney general of the United States
is entitled to a great deal of consideration,
but he is proceeding on wrong assump-
ton. do not think the government will
ever be able to collect anything from the
estate of the late Leland Stanford The
government issued the bonds to aid in the
construction of the Central Pacific railroad,
but neither Mr.. Stanford nor any one else
ever agreed to pay the government back.
The bonds operate as n second mortgage.
1T is not a debt, and while the attorney
general is perfectly right that in Cali
fornia the members of a corporation are
personally responsible for the debts of the
corporation, he is wrong in assuming that
the mortgage is n debt. You can't COM
pei a man to pay a mortgage. II l borrow
81 600 on a piece of property valued at $500
the holder of the mortgage cannot compel
me to pay it when it becomes due. He
can foreclose the mortgage and take the
property, and that is all.''
