Trades UnIonisua in China.

The Chinese trades unions can trace
their history back for more than four
thousand years. The Chinaman does
not discuss with his employer what he
is to receive for the work he does; he
simply takes what he considers fair
and proper remuneration. He levies
toll on every transaction, according to
laws laid down by his trades union, and
without for a moment taking into con-
sideration what his employer may con-
slider proper. He is, therefore, says a
correspondent of the Philadelphia Tel
egraph, generally called a thief, but he
is acting under due guarantees, in
obedience to laws that are far better
observed and more strict than any the
police have been able to impose.

Medical ELECTRICITY.

While electricity has been part and
parcel of certain classes of medical
treatment for many years, but few rep
utable physicians professed to know
exactly what it did and why it cured,
or was said to cure, disease. There
was something mysterious in the buzz
ing and tingling that accompanied its
employment, and possibly the absorp-
ton of the mind and the idea that
some unknown power was working in
the system did as much good as any
other form of treatment. OF late, how
ever, there have been some important
discoveries in this line, and as result
the action of electricity is utilized to
disseminate or drive into the system
various remedial agents that produce
given effects. As. the current passes
through or along the body, it carries
with it the element that is to be incor-
porated with the tissues, and in this
way has fixed and perceptible action.

An old song

When giants lived in ancient times,
Sing heigh, my boy, sing no!
In good old England or foreign climeS,
ling heigh, my boy, sing no!
They carried things with a high old hand,
Nor St ong, nor weak, could before them stand,
And they killed whom they pleased throughout
the land,
Sing heigh, my boy, sing hoi
But the giants didn't have things their
own way when Jack-the-G Giant-killer ar
rived on the scene. You remember the
story. Recollect, too, that every age has
it's giant-killer. We have our giants in
the form of all sorts of dread diseases,
supposed to be incurable. Our JACK IS
in the form of DR.. Pierce, who has
proven the expression ''incurable dis
eases' to be a fallacy. Can you i'm
agine more potent weapons to assist a
woman in killing the giant-disease,
than DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription?
It's the only guaranteed remedy for all
functional disturbances, painful dis
orders, and chronic weakness of woman
hood. In female complaints of every
kind, if it fails to benefit or cure. you
have your money back. It's simply a
question of the company you prefer
the Giant or Jack!

a Curious Incident.

A train was recently stopped in
France, on the line between Bellcgarde
and Geneva, under the following Curl
Gus circumstances: A freight train had
in one of its cars some cod liver oil
which began to leak away from the
containing vessel. BY chance. the 'es-
Gaping stream struck exactly in the
middle of the rail. The train that bore
the oil was not affected, but the track
was thus we'll creased for the passen-
ger train that followed. which came to
a standstin when it reached the oily
rails. Nearly th-ee-quarters of an hour
were consumed in running the two
and half miles TO the next station,
and this rate was only attained by dill
gent sanding of the track.

Chinese Hoats IIavo ..Eycs.p

Chinese junl1s and boats have eyes
carved or painted on the bows, which
are usually supposed to be mere fan
ciful form of fornamentation. But they
have a real meaning, as recent travel
Ter found. In going up one of the
rivers from Ningpo he was startled one
day by seeing boatman seize his
broad hat and clap it over one of the
''eyes'' of the boat, while other boats
on the stream were similarly blinded.
Looking about for an explanation he
saw dead body floating past and he
was told by the boatman that if the
boat had been allowed to 'ssce'' it, some
disaster would surely have happened
either topassengers or crew before the
voyage ended.

Although the weather was I'M

couples repaired to Mission Garden
to participate in masquerade, the

good, the masks were unique, and
in all the event was one Of the

ever given. The affair was con-

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
Grau's Opera Company Open to E
Densely Packed House.

That an opera at popular prices
is a thing dear to the San An
tOnian heart was abundantly dem
Onstrated at the Grand last
night. The house was literally
packed, outside of the boxes, none
of which were occupied. This
company made itself solid with
the theater going people of San
Antonio last season and their APP
pearance has been looked for
eagerly. The company is as pOpu-
lar as its prices and the manner in
which it was received last night
shows that it has not lost caste
with or people. The house
readily recognized the favorites
who won their way to position
last season, and as they appeared
they were heartily greeted. Boo
caciO was given for the open
ing, and as an opera has
some merit which is more than
can be said for the HOneymoOners.
Miss Mason was decidedly favor
tie one year ago, and she was evil
IDENTIFY in favor last night. IShe has
improved in presence and voice
during the interval, but sweet as
is her voice it is hardly strong
enough for the demands that are
made upon it in such an opera as
that which was given last night.
In fact, this is the only material
criticism to be passed upon the en-
tire performance, the voices are
light for such work. Notwithstand-
ing this the general work of the
evening was satisfactory and there
is no doubt that the pre-.
sence Of the company will be vel.
coined nightly with crowded
houses. Their work will be more
equal in the lighter operas that
are to be given, such as "Shir
Alloy" "Paul Jones" and the
"Brigands." Grau's is the best pop
Mar price opera company that
travels the southern circuit, and
there is certainty that they will
give a week Of really good comic
opera to crowded houses here
"DorOthea" is cast for tonight.

SPORTING sALMAGUNDI.
Local Interest in the Corbett-
Mitchell Fight-other Sport
inu NewS

ing News.
Interest has been worked up to a
high degree in this city regarding
the Corbett-Mitchell fight, which
is to take place at jacksonville,
Fla, on the 25th inst, just ten days
from today. Last night several
local bets were made in the pres
ence Of reporter for the LIGHT,
one being for 800 to $50 on COrbett.
Some were for even money and one
man offered to bet $3.50 to 5000 on
Mitchell. The latter bet is not yet
made, but taker has been found
and the money will probably be
put up today.
Bets are also made on the num-
Der of rounds the men will fight.
Some opinions are that COrbett
will not stay with the Englishman
twenty rounds and others that
Mitchell will not be in it with Cor
bett.
Tonight is the date set for the
test fight between two negroes,
Harris and Watkins, for $500 side,
to learn what action Governor
Mitchell will take. From the lat
est reports he is still strictly OPP
posed to the big fight taking place
and is making continued effort to
prevent it. The Duyal Athletic
club officials, however, are' game
sports and say they will have the
fight.
About 1,200 people assembled in
the San Pedro baseball park yes
terday afternoon to witness the
advertised 1eap for life" by
Kearney Speedy, from a tower
seventy feet high into tank con-
tanning water. The tower looked
considerable from being seventy
feet high, but when Speedy
had assembled the struc-
ture it was apparent that
the tower was high enough
for Speedy to lose his life in the
event he missed the tank when
making the leap. The exhibition
was duNeIU lStu W IdhC pldSc az d -
30 O'clock, but having "Other i'm
portant business to attend to-" as
the leaper announced, it did not
take place until very nearly )
o'clock. The leap was beautiful
one, and every one present seemed
satisfied with what they saw.
He will give another exhibition
next Sunday when he will make
the leap in a sack and blind-folded.
Speedy is quite a young man and
his physical development is that
Of a general all-rOund athlete.
The lemonade stand just south
of the grand stand collapsed a few
before the exhibition
took place, The top of the little
stand was crowded with men and
boys and the weight was too heavy
for the meagre structure. There
were also people under the stand
and how they escaped serious in
jury is a miracle.
