His New Quarters.

County Attorney Bart De Witt
has filled up the office adjoining
the county court room, formerly
occupied by the county judge, and
has removed his office from the
Kampmann building. The change
is made owing to the fact that Mr..
De Witt, is frequently summoned
by the county authorities, and can
be found with less trouble in the
court house.

THE CLUB RECEPTION.

The First Event of the Season at the
San Antonio Club a Success.
The San Antonio club gave their
first reception of the season last
evening. That is a sufficient state
ment for the society people, barring
the description of the ladies' COS
TUNES, which the LIGHT is unable
to give, owing to the scarcity of
space. Averybody that knows
anything at all, knows that the
"club receptions" are always grand
and that they are the very cream
of the social festivities. That is
the reason all mem bers' wives are
glad that they are married, why
some wish they weren't and why
all the young ladies are very "sweet
on" the bachelor mem bers Of the
club just previous to the approach
of these affairs.
Last nights reception was some
thing special. Not only was it the
first of this season, but the first
given, since some $1,000 has been
spent in refurnishing and bGautify-
ing the club rooms. The improve
ments are very preceptible, and the
new beauty of the rooms was much
relished by both members and
visitors. The ladies in particular
were loud in their praise Of the
change of things. The floors have
been reCarpeted, the walls repa-
pered, heavy draperies hung al the
doors and pretty lace curtains have
been hung in the windows, all Of
which very much beauties the
apartments. The decorations con-
sisted of ferns, eVergreens and flow
ers, and were appropriately placed
in the hooks and corners Of the
rooms, on tables and on the man.
tells.
At the door of the reception
room stood suit of handsome
ladies elegantly cOstumed, who
composed the reception committee.
They were: Mrs. Gen. w. LeatOn,
Mrs. II. d. Kampmann, Mrs. Judge
King, Mrs. G.. G. Cresson, Mrs.
VIM. Aubrey, Mrs. j. j. Stevens,
NIIS. "A. w iIOuSlOli, W. .. JOStpll
George, Miss Wealder and Miss
Withers.
The large hall was used for dane
ing, and Muth's orchestra of seven
pieces furnished excellent music
for the occasion.
The supper was served in the
second floor, and consisted of the
many delicacies usually spread at
such affairs. TWAS furnished by
Harnish & Baer and served by a
dozen Menger hotel walters.
The club has received the new
punch bowl, ordered from New
York, and initiated it last night.
1t is an elegant thing, being made
of solid silver, lined with gold.
Every thing passed off most de-
lightfully, yet sense of sadness
seemed to be spread over the old
members of the club. Heretofore,
at every reception given by this
club, the handsome figure and
smiling vissage of Col. James H.
French was seen at the door, well
coming the guests, and his presence
was missed, as was also the pleas
ing face of Mrs. }. S. Thornton, who
died recently.

SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying


The scheme to lease the San
Pedro park from the city for
twenty years for fair purposes,
savors of private speculation. If the
city wants to help out the enter
prising gentlemen, it might grant
them permission to erect buildings,
ETC., not harmful to the park, to be
removed within six months after
the fair is over, but only for one
fair.
The city of Chicago found it very
difficult to permit the use of one
of her parks for the Worlds fair,
and only on condition of removal
of all buildings and restoration of
park.
Fairs have proven not to be very
permanent institutions. Worlds
fairs cannot be given every day
and county fairs play out. One
year it will be a successful venture
and the next failure.
A beautiful public park remains
for all time source of pleasure to
the public and credit to the city.
San Antonio needs to put on her
green and tlowery robes,-to keep
the silver cord that binds her love-
ly tresses, bright, [the river)-to
smile the welcome of health to all
visitors, and then will come per-
manent prosperity.
A private citizen has invested
many thousand of dollars in de-
veloping a health resort adjacent
to our city, the hot sulphur wells,
he has not asked of the city, cOun-
ty or state a single favor. Yet
his enterprise is the most valuable,
the most practical of any so far
proposed by enterpriSing citizens.
If one citizen can venture his pri-
vate means In providing a health
| resort, why cannot number of
citizens venture their private
means in getting up fair.
1t seems to be the fate OF our
city that everything that belongs
to the people must be turned over
to private greed and speculation.
The river must be encroached on !;
the parks turned over to private
corporations all the natural gifts
of nature devoted to private in
stead of to the public use.

murderous results than nowadays.
Having COPIED with each other face
to face, they retired after the vic
tory, with mutual al niratlon Tor
each others va!or, while they con.
cluded an honorable, we'll considered
and lasting peace. And the peace
was lasting for a curious reason
namely, just because the rival ar.
mics were not too heavy load 1or
the nations to carry. The nations
we're not crushed under their weight
as they are today. And this brings
us to the point from which we get a
glimpse, odd and sad as the admis'
sion is, of the limited ideal which we
are bound to pursue today, namely,
to reduce the military burdens in
times of peace so that these burdens
may become tolerable over long Pc
RODS, and not form in themselves
a determining condition Of war.

THE Waco News has o right te
deprec,te Pendleton's re.nomina
ton, bat not to seek to impair his
good repute by stating facts in Q
misleading manner, or supposin 9
cases and conditions that never had
any exis.ence.-Day Globe.
Our esteemed contemporary would
oblige us by being more explicit.
The News never attacks by inu-
endo. 1t said Pendleton pardoned
thirty.five persons out Of the state
penitentiary while acting governor
for about three days. 1t also stated
that the cord of these thirty five
persons could not have been exam
ined by any expert in one week.
Nothing vague or uncertain about
that. 1t said Pendleton charged
Hogg with saying he appointed
Chiffon because he was unembar.
rassed by Confederate record and
afterwards in published interview
greatly modified that statement.
1t has also charged that Mr.. Pendle-
ton while running for congress
ostensibly as the Democratic nomi.
nee wrote lengthy apology to the
Dallas News for speaking from the
same platform Crane the Democratic
nominee for lieutenant governor
spoke from. 1t also charged that
Mr.. Pendle,on voted to destroy
silver, or as he said, strike it from
the list of money metals
after stating emphatically that
he would not so vote
1t also charges that Mr. Pendleton
was regular straddler, that he de-
MES and then perpetrates or perpe-
trates and then denies. In this or
snything else THE News has ever
said about the public record of Mr..
P endleton. There is no "suppos-
ing cases and conditions that never
mad any existence" on the contrary
they are what THE NEWS under
stands to be plain facts clearly
stated.

The Kind Wanted.

oh, yes, Virginia wants imml-
grants and the whole South wants
and would welcome them. But we
don't want the rough and ignorant
and lawless sort that fill up the la
boring classes at the North and
West. We don't want the Huns,
the Saws or the Poles, who are en-.
tirely ignorant OF our institutions,
Of our language and our customs.
We want good farmers, mechanics
and workingmen to come amongst
us from England, Ireland, Scotland,
Germany, or any other country where
people are civilized and industrious
to grow up as part of our popula-
ton. Such immigrants will always
be welcomed by our people and given
the right hand of good fellowship,
and they will all fad the South in
soil, climate and productions one of
the best countries in the world to
live and prosper in.-Lynchburg

AR T..

MONS. DE GISSAC has the
honor to notify the public, particu-
larly those who are not expert
judges of art, that he always is,
and will be-, willing to have his
work submitted to the Judgment of
the members of the NATIONAL
AMERICAN ACADEMY of art.
If they do not judge that "the
work Of Mons. de Gissao is thor.
oughly good and artistic, and worth
at least three times the price asked
for it," Mons. de Gissac is willing to
lose it. What truer and safer guar.
antee could be desired by patrons of
art?
Beside plenty of references can be
given both in other American states
and in the old country.
DR.. Williamson, of Waco, had
the portrait of his father, "Three-
Legged Willie" which was painted
by Mons. de Gissac, and which
hangs in place of honor in the

Judgment of professionals, and the
doctor will tell the kind of verdict
they pronounced on that work.

Comparison Of Old World Ar
mamentS.

From an article on "The Peace of
Europe" by M. de Blowitz in
McClure's Magazine for June.
Europe is armed today to such a
point that it cannot much longer
support what is curiously enough
known as the estate of peace" But
this estate of peace" is a state in
which the preoccupation of military
matters absorbs the purest revenues
of the country, uses up the vital
forces of a nation without any cor.
responding production, and impov.
erishes the people, not merely ba.
cause of the amount of the resources
required to maintain permanent ar
mics, but because OF the number of
arms and hands that remain unpro.
ductive.
Formerly Europe acted on the
principle of years of prolonged
active service and of reduced annual
contingents. In these circum-
stances the soldier remained under
arms seven or five years. Conges
were infrequent. 1t was possible,
when one was called upon to serve,
to obtain a substitute among men
who made of the military life pro.
fession, who lived and died only az
soldiers, who were veterana accus.
toned to long marches and to all
hardships, men who were excellent
instructors for the raw recruit, and
who formed in each army division
picked, impenetrable phalanx.
The armies were not so gigantic as
today; they were easier to handle,
we're equipped with less deadly
weapons, took their time in choos-
ing the fields of battle, and, once IN.
gagged, fought steadily, with far less
