Booker T. Washington, the colored
man who was the oratorical hero of the
day at the opening of the Atlanta expo
sition, crowded as much common sense
into his speech as any white man on
this continent could have done. "You
must not expect overmuch from us, he
said to the white folk, "starting as we
did 80 years ago with ownership in a
few quilts and pumpkins and chickens
gathered from miscellaneous sources. {"
he knew how to pay graceful comp]i-
ment as we'll as an accomplished cour-
tier, too, thanking both north and south
for the help they had given the black
people in preparing for the exposition.
It is interesting to know that he regards
the agitation for social equality of tho
races as tho EXTREMIST folly" in which
he is exactly right. The American
negro now wants most of all to "saw
wood and say nothing" He needs to
lay up money, to get an education, to
get good manners and good morals and
to train himself to the habits of living
common among refined people, white or
black. These are words of gold from
the address, ''The opportunity to earn a
dollar in factory just now is worth in
finitely more than the opportunity to
spend dollar in an opera house.. y
Booker T. Washington is man with a
future. He is the founder and principal
of the colored peoples industrial insti-
tute at Tuskeegee, Ala.

a luxuriant growth of palms, ban

is one of the attractive features of
the hotel, and forms a delightful
resting place for post-prandial
siesta. It's water supply is derived
from an artesian well on the prem
ises, with a flow of $4,000 gallons
of the purest water daily. This is
piped throughout the building,
and guests are assured of a copious
and uncontaminated supply Ofpure
sweet water, as well for bathing as
for drinking purposes.
The hotel is fitted throughout
with gas and electric lights, so In
case of accident one should be de-
fective, the other can be 1mme-

A passenger and freight elevator
takes guests and their baggage to
any floor, thus avoiding the tedious
task of climbing up stairs.
The building is heated through
out by steam heaters, doing away
with smoke and the early morning
disturbance of guests by the SER
wants building and lighting fires.
One of the features of the Menger
hotel is the electric call bell sys-
tenn. which is of the latest I'M
proved pattern, having a return
call in case of emergency or fire,
thus giving their guests double as
surance of being aroused.
Every room in the hotel has sta
tionary washstands, with hot and
cold water, and in connection with
this noted hostelry is a turkish
bath house, where guests will lind
modern bathrooms and tubs, polite
attendants and every facility and

WIN. AUBREY,

AS a man, he is trusted for noble
elements of heart and soul; as a
friend he is generous to a fault (;
as a jurist, Texas is proud to place
his name high on the roll of her
most distinguished attorneys. In
brief this is a summary of the
characteristic of one of San An
tonio's leading citizens-Wm.
Aubrey.
Mr.. Aubrey was born in Mobile,
Alabama, July 30, 1858. He re-
ceived his literary education in a
Jesuit college at Baltimore, Mary
land, and at r. Malcolm Johnson's
school. He studied law at the
University of Louisiana and was
admitted to the bar by the District
court at Longview, Texas. For
several years Mr.. Aubrey practiced
at Marshall, Texas, then came to
San Antonio, where he soon rose to
the front ranks of the profession.
Mr.. Aubrey is one of our most
progressive and wide awake citi-
zens and since coming here has
thoroughly identified himself with
the onward progress of the Alamo
city. He is a member of the San
Antonio Bar association as well as
president Of the former body. The
LIGHT pencils with pleasure this
brief and voluntary tribute to the
worth of a most estimable citizen
and feels assured that the people,
among whom he lives, will always
find him a safe and accomplished
lawyer in the character, and a true
friend.

JUDGE BRYAN CALLAGHAN.
No man in this section is WELD
ing a more potent influence for the
preservation of law, order and
security than Judge Bryan Cal
laghan, county and probate judge.
No man is more universally
esteemed, respected and admired
by the good and feared by the bad.
He is known as an honest, upright
citizen, and above all is he known
for his strict adherence for the
maintenance of the laws.
The Judge is native of San An
tonic and was born in the neigh
borhood of forty-five years ago.
He finished his education at Paris,
France, where he acquired a thor
ough knowledge of the French
language. He comes from an old
and highly respected family. His
father was one of the oldest citi-
zens and leading merchants of San
Antonio, and during the early
times was mayor OF the Alamo
city.
Upon Judge Callaghan's return
from Paris he was admitted to the
bar. His first venture into politics
was his candidacy for county at
torney, when he was defeated by
George Paschal. Subsequently he
ran for mayor of San Antonio and
was elected. So popular was his
administration that he served four
terms. During his administration
as mayor some of the most impor-
tant and lasting improvements
were undertaken, viz: The paving
of the public squares and main
streets of the center Of the city
with mesquite blocks; the orna'
mentation of the public squares,
which have remained as a grand
monument to his public services.
In 1894 he was elected county
Judge. He served as chairman OF
the democratic executive commit.
tee up to last year. In politics he
is a democrat. Since his introduc'
ton into office as county and pro
bate judge he has gained the con
fidence and commentator of the
people for the manner in which he
