That custom had established an
unwritten law to the effect that no
man over three score and ten

sized by the occurrences of Decora-

San Antonio has the best ball
club that ever carried the colors Of
the Alamo city. Whether she has
a club that can hold it's own with
the others and take a few points
off them is yet to be decided. 1t
takes a little time to shake a lot
of players together into a club, a
whole acting in unison and har-
mony. This town is not kicking
just at present, but it is watching
the diamond anxiously. When
she finds out that she has a real
club on which she al pin her
faith and her shekels, then you
will hear her turn herself loose.
She will back a good club to her
bottom dollar.

Out OF the thirty-nine and a half
columns Of home print in last Sat-
urday's LIGHT there were eleven
and a half columns Of telegraph.
There Is not another afternoon
paper in the state that publishes
more than about half the telegraph
news that the LIGHT does, and
while it does not spread out its
news, giving everything in con-
densed form, it gives just as much
telegraph Information as most OF
the morning papers, and at half
the money, its issue containing
much that is found in the papers
of the following morning. For the
earliest and freshest and best con-
densed reports e the LIGHT.

The real status at Saint Louis is
coming into the light at last. Arch
bishop Kenrick will be appointed
to a new archdiocese, in which
there are no active duties, leaving
Archbishop Kahn in possession Of
the see OF st. Louis. There are some
complications as to what is church
property and what the private
property Of Archbishop Kenrick,
but this will in time all be adjust
ed. The venerable archbishop, who
is nearly as old as the century, has
no realization Of what is passing
around him. His days will end in
Inconsistencies Of any change in
his authority at st. Louis.

that is born OF experience takes
hold Of the helm nd puts what is
wanted to be known in the

sends it out to be read and known

late to the people in this baliwlck.

The beauty of our San Antonio
ladies has been universally COM
mented upon. The men are called
ugly only by contrast, not on &C
count Of actual, per Sc, homeliness.
That Stock Show was a credit to
San Antonio and the surrounding
country.
The ladies from abroad have all
fallen in love with San Antonio.
They were as 10th to leave the old
hospitable city as the city was to
have them go. The ladies are al
ways welcome.
For the rain that did not come
one week ago, while the strangers
were in Il streets, the people of
this goodly city give thanks this
time. They are not kicking to any
extent.
Emperor William will boss that
opening of the "North Sea Canal"
like adrum major. 1t is a bust
ness that will suit him as a ducks
foot is suited in a bed Of soft allu.
vial deposit.
The cleanliness Of these streets
is not such as to challenge the ad-
miration Of the ladies whose long
skirts sweep the filth from the
sidewalks and crossings as they
take an evening promenade.
1t is evident that the silverites
are only sparring for wind, and
that all they now look for and ex-
pect is such agitation as will best
place them when the great party
conventions meet.
San Antonio is Of age and Of ma.
ture judgment and should speak
for herself in all that makes for
her material increase. The daily
newspaper is the only legitimate
mouthpiece Of the town.
The sunstroke has never been
acclimated in San Antonio. This
is one Of the beauties Of the sum-
mer situation here that Is not en-.
joyed farther north. 1t is not the
only one, by a big majority.
That Sunday LIGHT is cutting
its eye teeth and will soon be ready
to don pants and step out on the
streets as large as life and twice as
natural. 1t Is coming along finely,
thank you.
San Antonio has given away
everything In the way OF street
franchise that is valuable and in
nearly every instance has only re-
ceived in return the contempt Of
those who have been thus favored.
The weather clerk kindly dropped
his sprinkler on the streets yester.
day morning, knowing how dusty
it grows on these days when the
sprinkling cart withdraws itself
and makes no rounds.

Wheat and silver that were
smuggling under the covers at fifty
cents each a few weeks ago have
had a falling out. Silver lies
dreaming in the old place, but
wheat has kicked of the covers
and climbed up into the next story.
The silverites' idea that silver and
wheat always lie in the same bed
is exploded. 1t is no longer dollar
wheat and silver worth a dollar,
nor is it silver and wheat at half a
dollar each, but silver at fifty and
wheat at eighty cents. That the
DRY, that the price Of a bushel Of
wheat and Of an ounce of silver are
about equal, will have to be re.
vised.

COLUMBUS, o., Nov. Son Friday
evening last Allen G. Thurman had a
fall which resulted in serious injury to
his hip. No bUnes were brnken ana his
constitution being wonderfully strong it
was believed he would coon regain his
accustomed health. fhe effect of the ner-
vous shock appeared to pass away. and
Tuesday and Wednesday he improved so
much that his phys clan and trienhs
thought he would undouhte lily get up
again in short time. Yesterday. how
ev,r, severe relapse occurred, and there
is today but little hope that he can re
cJv,r. His vigorous constitution may
yet pull him through, but the chances
are against him. This information is
from members of the family. Thurman
was alone in his parIor when he fell. He
til ouant he was strong enough t, walk to
his library and back to his chair, but in
returning to his chair he fell.
Jud4e Thurman was suffering consld-
rably tonight from tie j jury to his hip,
but uthe, wise is better, having fully re-

THE FIELD MONUMENT FUND
To Be Raised by the Contributions of
Children
Before the Birds and Bees Of the Poets
Verses Shall Return the Work VIII
Be Done

CHICAGO, Nov. 8 -Eugene Field is to
have a monument erected BY contri6u-
tions FROM the children. The idea was
suggested in Rev. Frank Bristol's funeral
eulogy, ana was taken up by the circle OF
men who were close to the poet. The fund
is already accunulatin-, and long before
the birds and bees OF Fields verses shall
return 1t is expected that the American
children Will have done for their friend
what the English children did for Def"e.
The movement was started at meeting
in r. A. Walters pouse. 1t is planned
to have q monunint placed in Lincoln
park. Each newspaper is to have rep
resentative on the co.nnittee, and each
is authorized to receive money for the
monument. There IS to be no Limit as to
the sum. and a nickel from each child
from humble circumstances who has
heard of Little B " Blue or Trumpet and
Drum will DC as acceptable as larger
amounts from the m ore fortunate.
The mel who took the initial step in
the movement were Melville e. Stone,
Harry G. Seliridgc, Charles kohlsaat
Charles NJ. Faye, Robert A. Waller, Sla-
zen Thompson and Victor F. Lawson.
Melville E. Stone is to act as tres surer,
ard he reported the first days subscrip-
tion as $l4. 1t is expected that the con-
tribuiions will come in rapidly as soon as
the country becomes aware of the plan.
