Suspicious Actions onlv.

Last night a young man named
Stapleton was arrested at Meyer
Bros saloon, at the Southern no.
tel, on charge of being disorderly.
He was with a man named Jones,
from San Saba, and they were
drinking. Mr.. Jones was not
exactly sober and had large sum
of money which he was handling
very recklessly.
Bystanders about the two men
claimed they were afraid Stapleton
whom they did not know, was try
ing to get the old mans money
away from him, so they called a
policeman.
Stapleton is very we'll know
here, has a very good reputation,
and has been an advertising solici,
tor for a local job printing firm in
this city.

Experiments on the Human Body

From the Boston Advertiser.
In the term, 1.-THE new psycholo-
gy," there must be included other
scientific work than that of labora-
tory experiments; but the research
that is being made in the laborato-
ry must secure very valuable data
that can be used in connection
with other material. The great
problems of perception, association
and vOlition are being brought
from the domain of theory into
the partial grasp of science. The
structure and Importance of
nerve tissues are being
studied, but in connection with
the physical phenomena of mental
action and science now measures
the speed of a will-impulse, as it
formerly measured the flight of a
sound wave; and experimenters
"sleep on balanced with apparatus
that records the slightest change
of pulse, respiration, circulation,
heat; they test themselves with
mild doses Of narcotics, tOnics and
other nervines; they multiply or
reduce air-pressures over the en-
dermal surface; they select a
square inch of skin, and with
every known test educate it for
months; they fatigue definite mus
Gle groups; they measure the
exact time and force of memory
and will; they register diurnal
and even monthly periodicities !;
they explore the hypnotic state;
they apply the various forms of
Electricity, light, heat, sound, with
chemicals for taste and SMELL"
These researches, while they de-
velop much that is of interest in
the new psychology, give only a
section of the whole truth, and de-
velop much that is of no present
apparent use for the advance of
educational methods. Still, the
psyche physics laboratory is one
factor in the modern basis Of edu-
cation. Another factor is to be
found in comparative psychology,
which seeks to trace, after the man.
ner Of the student of evolution, the
growth of the instincts or innate
characteristics of man. This study
Of comparative psychology in
wolves great patience and labor,
but great naturalists like Audubon
and White have brought, as re-
suits of their work, intensely in
teresting facts and phenomena Of
plant or animal life. The gradua-
tion runs from the action Of SIM
pie roots, through. the vegetable
scale of climbing plants and car
nivorous herbs, and through the
animal kingdom which eliminates
at man. Some investigators like
Thoreau and John Burroughs have
used their powers of observation
without any assumption of scien-
tific title, but, however, the work is
done, the results are always OF
great human interest.

On the back of the first page stands

by the Empress Frederick. On the

Limburger's Garden Pavilion and
Pleasure Resort on River

Pleasure Resort on River
Avenue.
Upon invitation a reporter To-
the LIGHT took the River avenue
car and landed at Limburger's gar
den on River avenue. Not uneX
pected, he was met by the genia
and whole-souled proprietor, AL
derman Limburger, who took him
in charge and showed him the
many new Improvements and
buildings now being erected, and
the finishing touches put thereon
The pavilion covers an i'm mense
area of ground, and undoubtedly
contains more floor space than any
building in the city. 1t is well
ventilated and the doors and win
dows are so put in, as will admit
of their sliding out of their space
proper, admitting the cool and
pleasant breeZes from all sides.
The main pavilion, to be used for
dancing, conventions, etc., is $50
feet in length by 60 feet in width,
and the ceiling is 81 feet in the
clear from the floor. The flooring
is of polished, natural pine and as
smooth as glass. "This latter will
be of much interest to those who
delight in tripping the light fam
tastic toe."
The next place visited was the
saloon, which is first-class in every
respect, as the reporter can well
testify, he having sampled some Of
Limburger's best. The band stand
was next visited and inspected.
This is indeed a tasty and archi-
tectual little structure and will &C
commodate about twenty must
clans, a very neat and coZy struct-
ure built in the northwest corner
of the park is to be used for res
taurant, where lunch can be had
at all hours, and where irst-class
cook will be in charge. The entire
park and buildings are wired and
will be Illuminated with electric
lights. Mr.. Limburger has already
let the contract for a ten pin alley,
and the six acres of beautiful
level ground in the rear of the pa
Wilton, will be rolled and put in
proper shape for the baseball and
athletic sports.
Thus has public spirited citizen
built up a pleasure resort that our
people should be proud of. A re-
sort that should be literally pat
ronized, by all those who appreci-
ate a good thing when they see it.
Mr.Limburger has putin more than
$4,000 in improvements, and all
workmen employed by him were
paid 81. so per day, Notwithstanding
that lots of skilled mechanics Of
fered their services for less during
these hard times. All of which is
commendable. Already several Or
CARNATIONS have engaged the pa
Wilton and park for celebrations
soon to take place, among them
being the Labor union, on Sept.
3rd; the Butchers association on
Sept. 9th, and the Mexican soci-
cites 18th, 10Th and 18th of this
month.

KNOCKED OUT.
THE OBJECTIONABLE C0-INsURANCE
CLAUSE ADVOCATED.
All Praise to the Alamo Insurance
Company for Making its Short,
but Winning Fight.

Since the Alamo Insurance com
pany, few days ago, came out Sc
boldly and announced their with
drawal from the Ubiquitous coin
surance compact with all insur
ance agents in the state, there has
been a lively furry among the in
surance agents of this city, whose
companies were represented in the
State Underwriters board, and this
| furry gradually spread until the
| state executive committee was COM
PEELED to take notice of the matter
and hastily summon its members
and run down to San Antonio from
Dallas. About 20 members respond
ed, and two days ago began their
secret meetings in the Menger hotel.
The proceedings were main
tanned in the utmost secrecy, not
even the local agents knowing any
thing of the deliberations behind
the closed doors.
However it was learned yester-
day afternoon that not all the pro-
ceedings were held in har-
mony and it was said that the
wrangles which caused such
turbulent session in Austin were
being repeated, not all the men,
bers of the committee being agreed
on several questions among them
selves, and as it was stated by one
member yesterday to LIGHT man,
no two of the committee were
agreed on a certain subject.
Added to this the fact that
the Alamo Insurance company
was going busily on writing
up their new policies with
out the CO insurance clause, and be-
sides was grabbing a whole lot of
new business, put all the insurance
people in very irritable mood.
Great pressure was therefore
brought to bear on the committee
for the adjustment of this objec.
tionable feature. 1t was said
the state board was too young
yet, (only eight mOnths) to
tackle this scheme and had not
enough power in the state.
1t was hard for the committee to
let 60 and give up this pet scheme
of theirs, but after a hard session
of several hours yesterday after
noon, in which it was hard for any
of the members to keep their tenn
per, the vote was taken and the CO.
insurance clause was abrogated,
the following resolution being
adopted:
The reinsurance clause is sus-
pended. Agents will use in lieu
thereof such clauses as applied be-
fore its adoption, existing rates
and all other clauses to be rigidly
enforced"
When the announcement was
made there was a great deal of sat.
isfaction expressed by all insur-
ance men, though there were sew
eral bitter growls at the Alamo
Co. heard among them.
The telegraph wires last night
were kept hot sending the news to
the various companies of the
state and United States by the
members of the committee and it
was also telegraphed to the large
dailies of the country.
The committee adjourned after
passing the resolution and the ma
| jority of them left on the NJ. X.
and T. train last night. The re-
mainder jumped out on this morn
| ing's l. and G. n. train.
President Murphy. of the execu-
tive committee, when seen by a
| LIGHT reporter last night, said:
eyes, it is settled now. We will
meet the Alamo Co. in the middle
of the road and We'll see who gets
hurt the worst in this business"
