Joseph Rudewick, the South Washing
ton avenue Polish merchant, who was
we'll known throughout the city as a
mast successful business man and one
of the leading Polish citizens of the
county Mr.. Rudewick was the first one
of his nationality to engage in the gro
Gerry business in this city and by energy
and enterprise he built up trade which
branched out considerably and yielded
him an income that succeeded in build
ing up a good sized fortune.
About year ago his health began to
fail and declined until a short time
ago when he was forced to contine him
self to his bed and have daily medical
attention. A wife and two sons survive

DIAMONDS OF THOUGHT.

Our sympathy is cold to the relation of
distant misery.
Next to love. sympathy is the divinest
passion of the human heart.-Burke.
The generous heart should scorn pleas
ure which gives others pain-Thomsom.
With the soul that ever felt the sting of
sorrow, sorrow Is a sacred thing. Cow
per.
Shame on those hearts Of stone that cam
not melt in soft adoption of another's sor-
row!-A. Hill.
More hopeful than all wisdom or counsel
Is one draught of simple human pity that
will not forsake us.-George Eliot.
One of the greatest of all mental pleas
ures is to have our thoughts often OWNED,
even entered into with sympathy.-L.
E. Landon,
Open your hearts to sympathy, but close
them to dependency. The flower which
opens to receive the light of day shuts
against rain.-Beattie.
To rejoice in another's prosperity, is to
give content to your own lot; to mitigate
another's grief is to alleviate or dspel
your own.-Lyron Edwards.
Our sympathy is never very deep unless
founded on our own feelings. We pity,
but we do not enter into the grief which we
have never felt.-L. e. Landon.
To commiserate is sometimes more than
to give, for money is external to mans
self, but he who bestows compassion COM
municates his own soul.-Mountford
Sympathy wanting, all is wanting. Per-
sonal magnetism is the conductor of the
sacred spark that puts us In human COM
munion, and gives us to company, CONVEX
sation and ourselves.-A. b. Scott.
No radiant pearl, which crested fortune
wears, no gem, that twlinkling hangs from
beauty's ears, not the brightest stars,
which nights blue arch adorn, nor rising
sun, that gilds the vernal morn, shine with
such luster as the tear that flows down vir-
tues manly cheek for others woes.-Dar-
win.

While the children attending No. 8
school were playing yesterday morning
at recess, some of the smaller ones got
down on Cedar avenue and were
romping around on the street. Max
Phillips, the contractor, drove along
quite rapidly with horse and two
wheeled gig and near Powers drug
store the horse struck the young son of
Rev. j. C. Schmitt, of the Hickory
Street Baptist church and knocked the
youngster down, severely injuring him.
The little fellow was unable to arise
and had to be assisted to his feet. Even
then he was unable to walk, and had
to be carried into DR.. j. b. Aman's
office, across the street, where his case
was attended to.
1t did not develop that any of the
child's bones had been broken. but he
sustained very hurtful flesh wounds
from the trampling of the animals
hoofs. Those who saw the accident are
divided as to whether Phillips was to
blame or not.

The women having the executive
management of The Market in charge
expressed to a Tribune reporter their
appreciation of the generous support of

marks are any criterion the manage
ment is in turn entitled to compliment
for giving such well controlled and
enjoyable object of patronage.

A Story of Richard vaux.
From the Argonaut.

There Is pretty story in the Vaux
family, of Philadelphia, in regard to the
late Richard Vauxs gallantries at the
Court of St. James when he danced with
the young and yet unmarried Queen Vic
toria. The Vaux family was of Quaker
faith, and, according to the story, when
the news came from abroad of the favor
the young man found with the queen, his
mother spoke of his attentions to the
royal lady. and then added: But l hope
Richard will not marry out of the meet

JUST TO BE GOOD.

Just to be good
This is onough--enough!
Oh, we who find sins billows wild and
rough,
Do we not feel how more than any gold
Would be the blameless life we led of old
While yet our lips knew but mothers
kiss?
All, though we miss
All else but this,
To be good Is enough.
II Is enough
Enough-just to be good!
To lift our hearts where they are under
stood;
To let the thirst for worldly power and
place
Go unappeased to smile back in Gods face
With the glad lips our mother used to kiss.
All! though we miss
All else but this
To be good is enough.

Attorney Generals Opinion.

To the Daily LIGHT.
The opinion, from the Assistant
Attorney Generals office, on the lie.
gal right of the issue of sewer bonds
bears on its face the impress Of the
mind of a lawyer, and brushes
away the net work of cobwebs
spun some time back on this sub.
ject by the opponents Of sewers
This opinion spikes the biggest
gum that has yet been unmasked
by the anti-sewer men. All the
other objections so far brought for
ward, are just as much without
foundation, as were the cObwebs Sc
deity brushed away by the At
torney General about the want OF
legal power in the city to issue
bonds for sewers.
The fact is as plain as pikestatf,
that San AntOniO's progress will
come to halt unless we build sew
ers. am informed that a plum b.
ing firm in this city states that it
has made 400 connections between
houses and the San Antonio river,
and other plumbing firms have no
doubt had their share in this bust
ness of polluting the river. Bust
ness men and owners Of real estate
can see, at a glance, that sewers are
indispensable to the future progress
Of San Antonio, and if they are not
blind to their own interest, they
will vote for sewerage. c. ID,

Corn and Wheat Crops.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-The Cincin-

crop summary says: "There is diff
ticulty to form satisfactory conclu-
sions as to the possibility OF the
corn crop. Irreparable damage has
occurred to a certain extent west
of the Mississippi river, but still
the crop has a chance for exceeding
last years production and closely
approaching the usual annual con-
sumption. The wheat crop advices
are unchanged in their general
tenor as to yield of winter and out
look for spring grain.
