WE SHOULD ORGANIZE.

The future growth and prosper
ity of San Antonio ought to be a
matter Of paramount impor-
lance to each and every one of her
citizens, but, especially as to her
business men and real estate own
ers, who have an immense inter-
est at stake. All will cheerfully
assent to the above proposition
but in spite Of this general concur.
renee, the melancholy and dis
heartening fact stares us in the
face, at every turn, that San Anto-
is indolently lying on her oars,
and like Micauber, "waiting for
something to turn up" No organ
lied body of men is doing one iota
to push San Antonio to the front
and draw population and capital.
Individuals, acting individually,
can accomplish little or nothing to
promote the prosperity of San An
tonic, on account Of the lack Of
time and of funds. We must have
an organized body of men to prose-
cute the work of advertising the
climatic advantages of San An.
tonic, which confer on it a
superiority, unapproached, as a
health resort and a winter resi-
dence, and also for the estab-
lishment of manufactures. The
San Antonio river is exempt from
freshets and yet it affords motive
power, all the year round, for mills
and factories. There is no city in
the Union which excels San Anto-
MO in climatic advantages, yet
these advantages are but imper-
fectly known, on account of the
lack of properly advertising them.
If the Board of Trade is too busy,
or too dignified, to push San Anto-
MO forward, and if the Commercial
club has collapsed, then our bust
ness men and real estate owners
should at once organize a club, or
society, for the express purpose Of
drawing population and capital to
our city and setting forth it's ad.
vantages as a health resort.

THE TEXAS PAPERS SAY.

Ell Paso Herald: zone Of the
proposed amendments to the New
York constitution, to be voted up
on this fall, requires aliens to be
naturalized ninety days before
they can vote. At present it is
there, as it is in Texas, that an alien
can vote upon his declaration Of

fications. What a help such a law
would be to Texas. Let us have it

"When you treat man as con-

your friend finds that your are try

They are the people who fix tax

There is no medicine so often

There is no medicine so often
needed in every home and so adj
mirably adapted to the purpose for
which it is intended, as Chamber
lain's Pain Balm. Hardly a week
passes but some member of the
family has need Of it. A toothache
may be cured by it. a touch of
rheumatism or neuralgia quieted.
The severe pain of burn or scald
promptly relieved and the sore
healed in much less time than
when medicine has to be sent for.
A sprain may be promptly treated
before Inflammation sets in, which
insures cure in about One-third of
the time otherwise required. Cuts
and bruises should receive imme-
diate treatment before the parts
become swollen, which can only be
done when Pain Balm is kept at
hand. A sore throat may be cured
before it becomes serious. A trou-
blesome corn may be removed by
applying it twice day for week
or two. A lame back may be cured
and several days of valuable time
saved or a pain in the side or chest
relieved without paying doctor
bill. Procure a 50.cent bottle at
once and you will never re-
greet it. For sale by f. Kalteyer

Popularity of SCIENCE,

AS scientific research has so much
to do with our daily life, our COM
forts, our health and happiness, as
well as contributing SO beneficently
to our commercial profit and safety,
it is not at all surprising that not
only the scientist, but the average
man, is constantly on the alert for
everything pertaining to scientific
affairs. Illustrative of this modern
trend, we find that the number of
science schools in England has near
ly doubled in the past ten years.
The number of pupils has also more
than doubled, and the payments tc
science schools on the results of the
examinations have increased by
more than e6, 900 since last year.
This country being more progressive
than England, there has doubles:
been a much greater advance. II
fact, technical, industrial and man
ual training schools have been open
ed in every important city, and The
demand for such practical education
is constantly increasing.-Atlant
Constitution.

A curious story illustrative of the
preventative properties of carbonic
acid gas, or "choke damp" comes
from China. In the province of Ngan-
hwei a party of miners opened an an
Gent shaft, where, according to the
official records, a terrible catastrophe
had occurred 400 years ago. When
the miners entered they came upon
the bodies of 10 miners who had
persisted in the mine, lying where
they had been overtaken by the
deadly gas four centuries back. The
corpses to the eye were as though of
yesterday, quite fresh looking and
not decayed in any way. The faces
were like those of men who had just
died. On an attempt being made to
move them outside for burial they
one and all crumbled away, leaving
nothing but a pile of dust and the
remnants OF the stronger parts of
their clothing. The miners, terrified,
fled from the spot, and, though there
were valuable deposits of coal in the
shaft, nothing would induce the SUI
perstitious men to return to their
work.-New Orleans Picayune.

The following incident occurred in
the north of Ireland. A misery old
fellow thought he was near the point
of death and sent for q smart lawyer
to mako his will. The lawyer came,
and he gave elaborate directions for
the disposal of his property. AS the
lawyer was finishing the work he
said:
Nov want you toput in another
clause. You have always been a
good and able man in your dealings
with me. | wish to leave you $500"
The lawyer, after a little pretense
of honest demurring, did this. When
the will was signed and sealed, the
old man signitied his wish to pay the
attorney for his services, but the lat
ter refused to mako any charge. His
client had already been too gener-
Gus.
VERY we'll, said the old skinnint,
''you know your own business best.
But still | like everything settled in
a businesslikc fashion. Make out a
bill as you would have charged any
other clientan d formally receipt it. .
This was done. A couple of months
afterward the old skint1int died.
The lawyer went to his house to read
the will, which the executors handed
him. To his surprise and indigna
ton he saw that in it there was ne
gift to himself. 1t turned out tina
the old man had copied the will care
fully out when he left him, emitting
the $500 clause. The whole affair
was a dodge to get a smart lawye,
to make his will without any charge
