| This is the date for the opening
OF the summer theatre at the
Jockey club grounds. The finaI
preparations for the event were
made yesterday and everything is
now in readiness for the perform.
ance tonight. There is no question
of doubt that the new venture OF
the enterprising management OF
the Jockey club will prove a
success. The place is we'll
located and an evening
cannot be spent more pleasantly
in any part of the city than at the
Jockey club grounds. An elegant
breeze is constantly coming from
the southeast and electric fans are
not required out there to keep the
flies off the visitors.
1t is the intention of the manage
ment to conduct the summer
theatre on strictly first-class princi-
Piles and to make it a leading
family resort. The stage will be
under the management of an eX-
perienced man and the performan-
ces will run in clock-work order.
The Spanish Opera company arriv-
ed in the city fromAustin this after
noon and will open it's engagement
tonight. Mr.. B. w. Randall, the
popular superintendent of the
Rapid Transit line, has improved
the transportation facilities to and
from the grounds and cars will
leave the Postoffice building every
ten minutes.
The Jockey club management
has also provided for the baseball
loving public of San Antonio and
has put in a fine ball park. The
diamond and the field will be the
best ever in the city, and will sur
pass any in the state. The grounds
were laid out yesterday by Frank
Huntress, the popular manager of
the ball team, and will face south
east. A backstop will be erected
this week and the grounds will be
in readiness for the opening game
next Sunday. Manager Huntress
is arranging for games with the
Austin team to open the season
with, and it will take place under
grand auspices. superintendent
Randall will also put on
extra cars for this occasion
and leave nothing to complain of
in the way of transportation either
way. Manager Huntress is nego-
tiating with battery for this sea-
son and expects to come to terms
by the time Austin plays here.
A number of the team were out
practicing yesterday afternoon,
and the way the players showed
up it would be advisable for the
many ball cranks Of the Alamo
City to have their lungs in good
condition while the umpire throws
out the little hogs hide and cries:
"Play Ball ~
There will be a meeting in the
Mission Athletic club rooms to-
morrow night Cor the purpose of
selecting a team for the season.
There are about eighteen or twenty
players to select from.

The Democracy in the Michigan Legisla-

The Democracy in the Michigan Legisla-
ture win BE a Unit.
The democracy in the forthcoming
Michigan legislature will be unit. Nc
: factional differences will split the party's
vote on matters of political importance,
and every democratic candidate that is
presented to the legislature for election
will receive the solid vote of the demo-
cratic delegation. Such singleness of
purpose on the part of a party's repre-
sentation in a legislative body is both
commendaole and unique, but in this
instance it is not so gratifying as it might
be. For the democratic representation
in the Forthcoming Michigan legislature
will consist of Representative John
Donovan of Bay county.
Mr.. Donovan is the solitary democrat
who survived the legislative landslide of
Nov. 6. He wiz be mighty lonesome at
Lansing, in political sense; but ia a
literal sense he will not be lonesome at
all. He is going to have all the fun that
he can while at the capital. Speaking
on the subject the other day he said 81
don't believe I will have much
trouble in shaping the policy of the
minority in the House, and won't
cali any party caucuses to devise
filibustering methods to worry my
opponents" He will, however, eau
Gus with himself on the senatorship. and
select a candidate to be presented by the
democratic party. When John Donovan
the caucus has decided upon the candi-
date, John Donovan, the chairman of
the caucus, will report to John Donovan,
tho democratic leeder in the House, who
will put the candidate in nomination.
John Donovan of Bay county will second
the nomination, and John Donovan, the
democratic majority, will cast the vote
of the delegation for the caucus nomi-
nee.
Mr.. Donovan serves notice on the re-
publican majority that he does not pro-
pose to be made the Ii Hung Chang of
: he session. Ii the majority make mistakes
they shall not place the burden upon mis-
shoulders by saying that he blockep
legislation with filibustering and quo
rumbreaking absenteeism. And further
more, he proposes to appoint himself
committee to watch the majority. If
they attempt any queer tricks he will
bring in unanimous report exposing
them.
There appears to be in the situation an
opportunity for a lot of fun for the
democratic minority in the Michigan
House. and the minority seems able to
extract and enjoy it

Do Trees Require Sleep?

In the larger cities, where shade trees
are few and scattering, electric lights
seem to have no visible effect upon their
foliage. In the towns and villages.
however, many of which have their cleo.
trio light systems, the effect is very no.
ticeable, the leaves appearing as though
they had been subjected to the blight
ing breath of Manhattan. The question
was recently discussed at meeting of
the eastern aboriculturists. the concln.
sion being that trees need darkness in
order that they may sleep, and that be.
ing continually kept awake and active
they have been worn out and made
prematurely old by the action Of the
light. That this is probably the correct
solution of the mystery of the dropping
leaves may be judged from the fact that
similar trees III the neighborhood of

the illumination, still retain their color
and seem bright and strong. st. Louis

A JUST COMPLAINT.
Objectionable Practice on the Part OF Some
People, SNgsE


We have called attention several times
to the practice which obtains among the
weather. class of people of this city OF
making extensive purchases in Atlanta
Macon and Columbus of articles. which
they could get upon just as adVanta-
oeous terms at home. Indeed, in some
instances they could save money by pur'
chasing of the Dawson merchants. Inc
practice of sending to other cities for
what can be obtained here, or OF gong
there to make purchases, is very oOJec-
tionable one and should be discontinued.
Peop'e will, of course, do as they
please about matter of of this klnd,
but if they will think a moment they
will see how difficult it is to maintain q
city if large share of the trade when
legitimately belongs to It is taken else
where. Our merchants, who are heavily
taxed to maintain the fire department,
the police force and to make city ina
provements, have good grounds for
complaint when they are deprived OF
trade that they are entitled to have.
It is matter of fact that even men
send to other towns for articles OF cIoth-
ing of one kind and another-men VINO
depend upon tradesmen for livelihood.
If their services should not be sought
when such services as they can render
are needed they would feel like complain
ing, just as our merchants now complain.
In order to build up our city and make
it prosperous we must help one another
We must work together, and by lending
each other helping hand whenever we
can we shall advance the city's prosper
ity and also our own.
