Likes San Antonio.

r. F. Hamilton, the genial press
representative for Barnum &
Bailey's big show, Is spending a
couple of days in the city, and paid
the LIGHT office a welcome visit
yesterday. Mr.. Hamilton Is so
we'll pleased with San Antonio,
that he says that he will bring his
wife here next month and stay at
least two weeks of their vacation.
Mr.. Hamilton appears to be we'll
posted on New York politics, and
thinks the extreme sumptuary
measure now being enforced in
New York will help the Demo.
cratic party. He says there are
100000 Germans in the state who
are naturally Republicans, but
they are opposed to all kinds OF
sumptuary legislation.

Jewish Day of Atonement Begins
Tomorrow Evening,

Jewish Day of Atonement Beglni
Tomorrow Evening.
The sacred day Of fast, prayer
and supplication which begins to
morrow friday evening at six
o'clock and continues until the
first star appears in the armament
Saturday evening, will be observed
by our Jewish population, both Re.
form and Orthodox; the former al
Temple Beth Ell on Travis Park
where Rabbi Elkins will officiate,
the latter at Convention hall, cor
ner West Houston and North
Flores streets.
The bible is authority for the
fact that God proclaimed to Moses
that this should be the Sabbath of
Sabbaths, and should be observed
in cleansing the soul Of sin and do
ing penance by fasting and deny
ing oneself for the sake OF repent
ance and forgiveness.
II our readers will refer to the
old Testament, Leviticus XVI l-34-
XIII 1882 xxx Ill, they will
find the observances and sanitary
laws as written by Moses more in
diligently explained. There Is a
marked difference in the services
OF the Reform and Orthodox con-
gregations; the former have re-
vised the ritual, and conduct the
services with less Grammatical ef-
feet than the latter. The English
language is principally used by the
Reform, while the Orthodox use
the Hebrew or "dead language"
throughout their services.
The Jews from the time OF Moses
are the only religious sect that
have observed strictly the sanitary
laws as laid down by that great
"man," and they are the only race,
Notwithstanding thousands of
years Of persecution, that are still
intact and comparatively free from
mixture with other races, as they
do not believe in intermarriage.
AS usual in the strict observance
OF the day, all business and work
will be abstained from and stores
and dwellings will be closed, in
this city, as in every city where
Israel has an abiding place.
"For whatsoever soul it be that
doeth any work In that same day,
he shall be cut off from among his

Stole a Saddle,

Detective Shoaf yesterday took
in a Mexican who was trying to
sell a saddle at very cheap price
The Mexican showed an express
receipt for a valise sent here from
Taylor and gave a story that was
apparently straight. The officer
had no intimation of any saddle
being stolen and consequently did
not want to run the risk OF hold
ing the man simply because he
wanted to sell a saddle. Still the
detective thought best to keep the
saddle and telegraphed to Taylor
to see IL all was straight with the
Mexican. In response, w. M. Hut
to came to San Antonio today and
identified the saddle as having
been stolen from him on Monday
night. The Mexican's name is
Manuel GARLIC.

Robert Reinhardt Threw George
Proctor into the River.
Robert Reinhardt and George
Proctor are in the towel supply
business. Yesterday a little quar-.
rel arose between the two as to
who has the contract for furnish
ing towels to the Grand opera
house. Proctor accused Reinhardt
OF interfering with his business,
and incidentally used some very
harsh language toward him. This
occurred in the rear of the opera
house yesterday morning about IL
o'clock. Reinhardt said he had no
money to pay fine with and did
not care to fight on the street. He
told Proctor that II he would fol.
low him he would try little "phys-
ical culture" with him. Proctor
followed him and the two went
into Central garden, near the mill
bridge, where they settled their
trouble. Reinhardt proved the
better man. He then picked up
Proctor and threw him into the
river.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
RASH DEED OF A, YOUNG MAN TO-
DAY.
A Petty Quarrel Incites John
Humphreys to Use a Deadly
Pistol.

John Humphreys, young man
of this city, shot himself through
the lung at the home Of his brother
in-law, Louis Sauer, at 1910 South
Alamo, near Beauregard streets,
about O'Clock this morning.
The shooting was done in room
in the presence of one Of the
women in the house, the weapon
being 3S.calibre pistol. The ply
sicians regard the wound as fatal.
AS near as could be learned
Humphreys had a quarrel with
his sister, 30 it is said, and then
went into an adjoining room,
where he placed q pistol to the
right side of his chest. His sister
saw the act through window and
called to him not to shoot. At
that moment he fired and fell.
Drs. Oldham and Fitzsimons
were summoned by telephone and
gave him all relief possible. They
state that the bullet passed through
the right lung and that it will in
all probability result in death.
Mr.. Humphreys is young man
of about 20 years of age. He was
resting well at o'clock this after
noon. DR.. Oldham, who is attend
ing him, says that owing to the
to his body at which the
pistol was held, injury Is likely to
blood poisoning on account
Of wadding and pieces Of clothing
that the bullet carried with it.

that she was unconscious of 1t. She met the
great Illinois statesman at a reception at the
White House. She was then girl Of nine
teen, tall and graceful as willow. The
little giant was then widower with two
sons. He saw her and was fascinated, and
from that moment his wooing began.
When Senator Douglas made his presiden-
tial campaign, his beautiful wife accom-
panied him everywhere. and the same adula-
ton that she had received here followed her.
She was at least three inches taller than the
Ser ator, which added to her attractiveness
and the style Of dress she affected harmon
lied perfectly with her loneliness. Plain
white gowns with surplice neck bodices re-
vealed the faultless outline of throat and
bust, ana the broad blue sash tied about the
waist completed toilet of dainty simplicity
During the illness of Senator Douglas his
young wife was his devoted nurse, and after
his death she was more beautiful than ever
In her graceful weeds.
Mrs. Douglas never cared for the notoriety
her beauty and position gave her. Her man
ner IS always charming, she Is pious and
reverential by nature, true. sincere. SYM
pathetic a true woman in every sense of the
word.
After the death of Senator Douglas she
rarely appeared in society, leading the life
almost of a recluse. Later on she met Cen
Robert Williams, one of the most polished
and courteous Of old Virginia's sons. A
courtShip followed, then came a quiet we'd
ding. and the beautiful widow of Senator
Stephen A. Douglas became his wife. 1t was

was~at once the objective point of many
who had known her in the years gone by.
Mrs. johnson has grown old most grace
fully. and in the glow Of life's brilliant
sunset is still beautiful
When Salmon P. Chase was elected gov
ernor OF Ohio he was widower, and his
eldest daughter, Kate Chase, a girl not six
teen. was installed as mistress of the guber-
material mansion. From an artists stand
point Kate Chase's face might be criticised,
but the popular verdict has always pro-
ncunced her beautiful. In dispensing the
Inequalities of her fathers home she was
of inestimable advantage to him. The most
perfect confidence existed between them
and her devotion to him in life and venera-
ton for his memory is the most pathetic
passage of her history. When President
Lincoln appointed his cabinet Salmon p.
Chase was given the treasury portfolio. ard
he removed his family to this city. Then be-
gan season of social triumphs. His daugh-
ter was soon acknowledged the most bril-
liant woman in Washington. and her rare
magnetism and charm of mind and manner
made her the pivot around which the polti-
cal satellites of that day revolved. The
house at the corner of 9th and E streets
northwest Mr.. Chase built. 1t was in those
days considered one of the most elegant in
Washington. and here Miss Chase held her
court, loved and flattered by every one, the
social idol of the hour.
The war had congregated so many within
the confines OF Washington, and with the
dashing regiments came municipal officers
of the various states. Conspicuous among
these was the young and dashing governor
Of Rhode Island, William H. Sprague. The
Rhode Island troops took up quarters in
the patent office. The governor and Miss
Chase soon became acquainted, and the we'd
ding which followed was, up to that time,
the most brilliant ever witnessed in WASH
ington. The Marine Band was in attendance
and played wedding march written espe-
cially for the occasion and dedicated to the
fair bride. Gov. Sprague's election to the
Senate opened their home to the most nota-
BILE people. and the wealth of the husband
and beauty and intellect Of the wife added
to the fame of both. and with them faded
this domestic happiness. Subsequent events
