the Overland Transfer Company's brick
freight warehouse, and hardware store
house OF Baker & Hamilton Their
brick buildings are temporarily with
standing the flames, but they are work
ing around their yards. A number OF
immense warehouses have been de-
stroyed. The enormous brick winery OF
Lacham & Co., which contains several
millions Of gallons of wine has lust
caught fire at one corner. 1t Is thought
however, that this valuable property
can be saved. The wind is blowing
half q gale and the fire is increasing.
The winery Of Lachem & jacob, which
is even bigger than the Lachem winery.
at the corner of Third and Brannan
streets. has not yet been reached by
the fire and the firemen are devoting all
their energies to keep it. from spreading
in that direction. The fire has now
been raging for three hours and Is burn-
ing as f1ercely as ever. The whole south
ern sky is ablaze and thousands Of peo-
pie are flocking to the scene OF these
parts Of the city. The people are hav-
ing hard work to keep the careless null
titude out of danger and give the fire.

CINE and fireman in the city and all ex-
ira men and special men on the police
force are being pressed into service.

9:15 p. m.-The fire at the Lachman
winery appeared to be checked but it
is eating it's way on ali sides of the big
Krick building. One death is reported

number of people have received in
juries from falling walls and flying
timbers. The people in the fire dis
trict are panic stricken. Most Of the
people are of poorer classes and are
making determined efforts to save their
small belongings.
Probably 100, 900 people are gathered at
the fire and the police are powerless to
keep them away.
UNDER CONTROL.
$3.50 p. m.-The fire department offic-
ials pronounce the fire practically un-
der control. The wind has shifted to
the southwest, driving the flames back
over the burnt area. The limits Of the
fire now confined to the houses immedi-
ately about the burned territory The
| flames are now within 100 yards Of the
! railroad yards and offices, but it is not
anticipated that they will be destroyed.
Over 100 families have lost their homes
and all they possess. A large number
of horses were burned in their stables.
| The changed wind and the big brick
wineries and the railroad offices are
what saved the day for the f1remen. The
flames werec hecked by these structures
and the firemen had a chance to do some
work. It is not believed that the loss
will be as great as at first estimated.
Probably $2O0O,OOO will cover 1t. It is
nearly all total loss, however, as owing
| to the dangerous district, insurance
rates have been SO high that insurance
was almost prohibited.
Later estimates make the loss $1,000
900. and there II probability that it
will amount to $1,5O0,00O The greater
part of four blocks were burned.

tilizing to; her as is the annual
overflow Ct the Nile to the lands
covered by its waters. 1t would
stimulate every branch OF business
and infuse vigor and life into
everything and everybody, in our
city.
In order to secure this number Of
invalids and visitors, nothing is
required except to advertise the su-
perior advantages Of San Antonio
as a health and winter resort. Ad-
vertising works miracles, but then
it must be really advertising.
The day Of bulky pamphlets has
gone never to return. People have
not the time to pore over them,
even if they had the inclination TO
do so. This age will not sift a
bushel OF chaff to get one grain Of
wheat, so long as wheat is both
plentiful and cheap.
The art in advertising is to reach
the largest number Of people, and
to penetrate every nook and corner
in the country as well as in the
cities. An advertisement, that is
hardly read, is waste of printers
ink and of money. 1t is simply an
abortion and comes into the world !
stillborn.
Half a column advertisement in !
the Boston Advertiser, the Hart |
ford Courant, the New York Sun, !
or the Tribune, the Philadelphia |
the Pittsburg Post, the To-
ledo Blade, the Cincinnati Enquirer, !
the Chicago Tribune, a st. Paul /
paper, the Detroit Free Press and
the Globe Democrat would be read |
by ten millions of people and be
talked Of to the same number.
This is the only sensible and eff
fective method of advertising San
and il this method be ,
adopted, it will bear fruit.
San Antonio should strain every
nerve and tax all her energies, in
order to secure cotton mills, wooden
mills, tan yards and shoe and har-
ness factories. Manufactures
build mp towns and cities in
manner. All the wages
II the operatives are expended al
most as soon as they are received,
and they enter all at once into cir.
,ulation. San Antonio must have
mills and factories, if it be posi-
Die to get them.
One fair in our city would cost
moro than it would be worth. The
asst fair held here was a magniti-
cent fiZzle. Our business men con-
;ributed literally to it. but the fair
vas a dead failure. 1t is a heavy
Train on the pockets of our bust
less men. to make donations to
airs that are failures, and to con-
ribute to all sorts of wildcat
projects, pawnei by cranks.
If we are to have a fair, let a
ONT stock company, with a capt.
al Of 100000, be organized for
hat purpose, and let the stock
folders elect a board of directors,
hat will manage the fair on bust
less principles. We ought to hold
fair every year, and it should
more than pay expenses.
Rainbow chasing will never ben
fit San Antonio. Practically
should be the watchword.

CONTRIBUTED SCRAPS.

Written for the LIGHT
Whenever person gets too many
irons in the fire, some of them are
certain to burn. 1t is the height
of folly TO grasp more than ones
hands are able to hold, or to I'M
dertake too many projects at once.
Concentration OF attention and en-
ergy is wonderful power.
The Business Mems club would
be much more likely to accomplish
something advantageous to the
city, il 1t should concentrate it's
force on a few practical projects
and exploit them in a practical
way, than by selling hold of null
titudinous projects Of doubtful
practicability, and also of ques-
tiOnable utility to San Antonio.
The strong card of San Antonio
is its superiority both as a winter
and health resort. and what is
wanted is thoroughly and widely
to advertise this fact in every state
in the Union, but particularly in
those states in which pulmonary
diseases are common.
Each succeeding year an in
creased number of northern and
western people will seek a pleasant
winter resort rather than endure
the inclement winters incident to
their own bleak climate. This
will be true wisdom on their part.
What is the use OF possessing
money, if we do not make it sub
servient to our comfort and health?
None, who possess the means,
should spend the winter months
in the north. Health is more
priceless than money, and it is
much better to preserve than to
restore a constitution after it has
been shattered by disease.
By means Of the net work OF
railroads enveloping the entire
union, travelling is easy and com.
paratlVely cheap, thus enabling
invalids to reach a health resort
with small physical exertion and
little personal discomfort.
San Antonio ought to have
10000 invalids in her midst every
year, and she would have them
beyond doubt, if she would prop
erly advertise her superior advan
tages as a health resort for con
sumptives.
Now, let us suppose she haf
10000 invalidS five months in tn,
year, and that these spend, on Al
average, $50 each per month-thiI
would aggregate $4,000 pc
month, and $I,jOOOOO for fiv,
months.
Then our city ought to hav,
every winter 10000 persons IL
health, but coming here, in cues
OF a mild and pleasant winter re
sort. These would spend NOR,
money, pro rata, probably, than tn,
1nvalids, at any rate it would b,
quite natural for them to do 40
but we will put their expenditure
at the same amount, 81, 500. 900, TO
five months, 80 as to be on the SAT-
side.
Can any one compute the effec
on San Antonio, of an annual OK
penditure by visitors and inyalids
of $3,OOO,OOO? 1t would be as fer

SHORT TALKS ON ADVERTISING

Don't say you twill start advar-
Using next year." Begin right
now. The longer you wait the
harder the work will be.
When an advertisement fails to
draw, don't get discouraged. Think
of one that was success and try
and evolve another one like it.
Some advertisers who start out
with the intention of rising in the
world, go up so far that they are
lost sight Of.
A bill has passed the Missouri
Senate requiring all insurance
companies to publish a statement
OF their financial condition annual
ly in some newspaper in counties
where they do business.
An advertisement to be a success
should act on a business like a
magnifying glass on a snow flake,
bringing out all it's beauties and
attractiveness. Unfortunately, in
their efforts to draw trade, some
advertisers hold the magnifying
glass too far away.
The securing Of human monstros-
tiles to walk up and down the
streets with placards on their backs
is method Of securing publicity
that should be suppressed by law.

ANXIOUS WIVES.
Should the Ameer Die They Would All
Be Shot.

Should the Ameer Die They Would All
BE Shot.
There is a certain village in the Mid
lands, says London Truth, where the
illness of the ameer of Afghanistan is
always followed with painful anxiety.
The reason is to be found in the follow
ing curious, but, l believe, perfectly
authentic story: Some years ago an en-
terprising young tailor left the village
in question, and went abroad to seek
his fortune. He eventually found his
way to Cabul. Here great luck awaited
him. He obtained the patronage of
royalty, and became the poole of
Afghanistan. He had left sweetheart
behind in England, and as soon as he
found himself on the road to fortune,
he sent for the damsel to join him.
She came, but here fortune deserted
the tailor. His intended bride, in her
turn, obtained the patronage of royal
ty, with the result that she eventually
became one of the three hundred wives
of Abdurrahman.
This, however, is only the first act of
Tile tragedy IL Is uuuerSUOOu UndU, by
the laws of Afghanistan, when the
ameer dies, the whole of his three
hundred wives must be shot The laws
of the Afghans are as immutable as
those of their ancient neighbors, the
Modes and Persians, and the whole of
the little Midland village, where the
ameer's English wife was born, and
where her parents are still living, has
been, during the past week or two, in
a high state of excitement over the
possible fate of tie young lady.
Fortunately, the ameer seems better
now, and it is to be hoped, if only for
the sake of his wives, whatever their
nationality, that the improvement may
continue. In the meantime, cannot
diplomacy do anything for the young
woman? At his time of life, and with
a equity habit to boot, l should have
thought Abdurrahman might have
been induced to get along with two
hundred and ninety-nine of them. If,
however, he must have a round num-
Der in the family circle, perhaps, an
exchange might be negotiated.

Great Library in Distress.

An appeal for help has recently been
made by the Bodleian library at Ok
ford, which is the largest university
library in the world, and is surpassed
by only five national libraries, the
Bibliotheque rationale at Paris, the
British museum, the Imperial library
at st. Petersburg, and the royal libra
ries at Munich and Berlin. 1t receives
for all purposes forty-fve thousand
dollars year, and needs money to sup
port its staff; touprepare it's catalogue
which is now years behind the times;
to heat the portrait gallery; to repair
the building, the finest public ediice of
the time of James l., and to provide
shelves for books in the Ashmolean
museum, which has just been put at it's
disposal. The Bodleian contains over
half million volumes, the separate
titles in the catalogue amounting to a
million and half; the new accessions
of books and pamphlets are nearly
sixty million year; it has the second
largest numismatic collection in the
British empire. Books and coins are
declared by the librarian to be in a
state of chaos owing to the lack of
funds; the library needs at least
seventy-fye thousand to be kept eff
ficient, and he calls on the public for
assistance, as Oxford, owing to the
agricultural depression, is too poor to
support its own library
