Still a Popular Resort.

A LIGHT representative, with
one of San Antonio's liveliest alder
men, last Friday, went down to the
famous Hot Sulphur Wells, and
completely boiled out Of their sys-
tenn whole weeks supply of King
Gambrinus' fluid, and came back
with improved appetites generally.
While there number Of improve
ments were noticeable. A fountain
with a miniature lake, at the en-
trance, adds much to the attrac-
tiveness of the place. Among the
beautiful grove of large pecan
trees are to be seen swings and
tables and benches for the comfort
and pleasure of visitors. The
cages of the menagerie have been
moved to the front Of the restau-
rant, and are being enlarged. A
look at the animals appears to af-
ford much pleasure to the ladies
and children.
Mr.. Shacklett, the enterprising
proprietor, reports business at the
natatorium the past week as good.
A large number of people continue
to enjoy the big pool, while the
tub baths are popular with those
who desire to get the full benefit of
the hottest water.
For the benefit of those who
have not yet visited this great
natures sanitarium, we repub-
lish the following extract from
Our morning paper: "The Hot
Sulphur Wells are situated about
one mile southeast of the city, cleo
trio cars running to them every
twenty minutes. The grounds
comprise some ten acres. The hot
sulphur water comes from we'll
1000 feet deep, the daily flow being
100000 gallons, the temperature
being I04 J degrees. The natato-
rum building is beautiful two
story structure. In this are the
large pool and the Individual
baths, the sweating rooms and par
lors, and nicely furnished rooms
for the guests staying here and
taking the baths. The pavilion is
a pretty structure near at hand in
the grove, in which are the res
taurant, where are served the best
of meals at reasonable prices, and
the bar room, where are dispensed
only the purest wines and liquors.
The large pool is retilled with
fresh water every night. 1t is 81
by so feet in dimensions, from .
to 7 feet deep, the temperature be-
ing "a degrees.
The bathing in the sulphur
water Systematically is not only
refreshing and the best kind of re-
creation, but of great efficacy in
the permanent cure of many all
ments-of the kidneys, liver and
stomach, rheumatism, neuralgia
and especially all diseases of the
skin. Many of the best physicians
of this city believe the hot sulphur
water baths are infinitely superior
to any kind Of medicine. The Hot
Sulphur Wells is permanent in
stitution, first class in every re-
spect, and without question the
finest health and pleasure resort
in this part Of the country"

THE SEWERAGE QUESTION.
To the Daily LIGHT:

To the Daily LIGHT:
There seems to be a great deal Of
talk about sewers in this city just
now, some are in favor Of having a
first class system and others are
not in favor of it, at this time at
least, have looked carefully into
it, and think l have a very fair
knowledge of the value Of having
first class system. While l have
been a friend to the present admin
istra ton, they have opposed me in
nearly every respect. In the begin
ming of it'll spent money and lost a
job of which ] was earning $500
per day, all on account Of this
same administration and have
never gotten a days labor from
them in return. But knowing that
the sewers is a good thing If prop
erly handled, / favor the move,
and, also knowing that it will
put a great number of men to
work, who are now idle on the
streets, | am willing to do some
thing to help out the man who is
willing by the sweat of his brow to
earn bread for his little ones at
home. | am a taxpayer,
and a legal voter in this
city, and today, | can
not get anything to do. / have
been in this town for fourteen
years, and | can say without fear
of contradiction that [ have never
seen the times so dull, and labor
so hard to get, as is at the present
time. While | know it will put
the city in debt, but what will it
amount to if the people can get
to do, and have money
to meet their demands. | would
rather owe $4,000 and know where
l was going to get the money to
pay it, than to owe ten cents, and
did not know where l was going to
get it from to pay. l would not
advise anyone to vote for the prop
osition until they looked into it,
and see for themselves as | have
done. l am not in favor of blind
folding anyone, and leading him
in a snare. Therefore consider
we'll, and use good judg-
ment. Ny advice to the
taxpayers is to vote for the propo-
sition, on the promise they make
you, and if they do not do what
they promise, you can say they lied
to you, and there is time coming
that you can get even with them.
While you know there has been
lots of promises made and but few
have been carried out in all Of the
administrations, the colored man
has been without work Is months,
in every two years. About six
months before the election he can
get work. The time has come when
a large majority of the colored men
of this town, have something to
say about this question, and if the
proposition is carried through will
surely give us some of the work.
So consider the matter, and vote for
it. Respectfully,
H. A. ELLIS.
