MAMMALIAN sUToR.

Few men in San Antonio are bet
ter known or more highly appre-
ciated for their many excellent
qualities than Mr.. Macmillan
Sutor, our popular assistant city
collector, whose work in this de-
partment bears the stamp OF a
brilliant mind and a conscientious
fulfillment of the trust reposed in
him.
Mr.. Sutor was born at Munich,
state of Bavaria, October u, 1915.
His youth was passed in gaining
an education. In the war of 1870
Mr.. Sutor was a soldier in the
ranks of the German army and
during that period he was wounded
four times. At the close of the
war for bravery and meritorious
service he was promoted to a lieu
tenancy. In 1883 he came to San
Antonio and was for a period of
five or six months with Cylinders,
the architect. For period of four
years Mr.. Sutor was an employee of
the Lone Star brewery. During
the administration of Gustave
Frasch as city assessor he was en-
ployed as draughtsman, and dur
ing this period made the new city
block map, which is indeed credit
to the ability of Mr.. Sutor.
In 1892 he was appointed chief
assistant city collector and has
faithfully served the city in that
capacity under the Callaghan,
Paschal and Elmendorf admins
trations.
Mr.. Sutor is a prominent men,
Der of anumber of societies. He
is president of the Deutsches Men,
nerchor, a member of the Beet
hoven Mennerchor and also of the
German Veterans of Fan Antonio.
He is every inch a gentleman,
court Gus, obliging and liberal.
None know him but to appreciate
his sterling worth. The future for

]. BARTLETT CROwTHERs.

Genial Bart Crowthers scarcely
needs an introduction to the peo-
pie of San Antonio, for there are
few that do not know him.
Mr.. Crowthers was born in Jack
son county, Missouri, in 1855. en-
years later his parents joined the
expedition Of General Shelby and
emigrated to the Cordova Valley,
Republic of Mexico, and here our
subject was reared. During the
years of 1928 he was in Nicara-
qua, Buenos Ayres and Rio La
Plata, South America, and while
there learned the hide business
thoroughly.
In 1876 he returned to the United
States, settling in Galveston. From
there he went TO Seguin, and in
the fall of 1876 came to San An
tonic with a light heart and just
thirty-five cents in his pocket.
Being plucky he cut wood for the
first meal he ate in San Antonio.
Later on he engaged in the hide
business. In 1892 he was appoint
ed street commissioner and so
faithfully and well did he fill that
position that he was re-appointed
in 1891. During his administers
ton, in addition to the numerous
repairs, four and one-half miles of
grading and matchmaking has
been done to our streets as well as
ten miles of surface grading. Mr..
Crowthers thoroughly understands
his business and makes a good, re-
liable and conscientious officer.
ever watchful of the city'S interests.
He is a member OF the Odd Fell
lows, Woodmen of the World, and
the Mutuallsta, a Mcxican>society.
He speaks both English and
the latter more fvuently
than She former. In confusion
let us say that Mr.. CrowthHrs Is g

fornia, in 1855. The main part of
his education he received at the
Santa Clara college from the year
1871 through the year 1873. In
1875, when he was twenty years of
age, he came to Texas and settled
in Uvalde county. Here he en-
barked in the stock raising BUSH
ness for time and finally growing
tired of that portion of the state
emigrated to Northeastern Oregon.
Soon he came back and re-entered
the business he was in prior to
leaving Uvalde county. In 1892
he came to San Antonio and has
been here since that date. He was
appointed clerk of the board of
health under Paschal and still has
that same position. Mr.. Roberts
is a member of the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows and also be-
longs to the Independent Working
mems club, which is the strongest
political club in San Antonio.

HARRY CUNNINGHAM.


ga public office is a public
trust,D so said President Grover
Cleveland. In San Antonio this
truism is indeed applicable, mas
much as our present city officers
adopt the saying and practically
apply it. Among those who con-
slider the office as such is Mr.. Hen
ry Cunningham, our popular and
efficient city tax assessor. His
record in that Office has been an
excellent one, and really deserves
commentator from our pen.
No matter how small the detail
may be, Mr.. Cunningham applies
his time and attention to it, and it
may well be said that the assessors
Office of San Antonio is one Of the
best conducted in the city hall.
Mr.. Cunningham is a West Vir-
ginian by birth, and first saw the
light of day in Hardy county, that
state, in 1S49. He was educated at
Winchester, Va. In 1869 he left
Winchester and went to Cincin-
natl, Ohio, where he attended
Bryan's college. In 1871 he made
his advent into San Antonio,
where he has since resided.
In 1872 he engaged in the shoe
business here, and followed that
for a period of eighteen years. In
1890 he closed out his business.
Last February he was elected to
the position he now holds, after a
spirited contest.
His selection was indeed wise
one, and we are confident that our
people place implicit confidence in
our popular assessor.
For sixteen years. he was secre-
tary of the San Antonio Building
and Loan association, which is the
most successful one in San An
tonic. AS an accountant he is par
ticularly expert, and this is one of
the main features of his success in
the position. Mr.. Cunningham is
a progressive man, believes in the
pushing of San Antonio to the
front, and is ever ready to aid
SuCn d pan W Ciic ueSU VI IiS dpil-
ity. He stands high in the COM
munity in society circles, as well
as among our business men.
He is a member of the Legion
of Honor and a member of the
Episcopal church.
In politics he is a firm believer
in the grand old principles of
Simon pure Democracy.
The LIGHT congratulates you,
Mr.. Cunningham, upon the see
cess you have attained, and sim
cerely hopes that the future may
have even greater things in store
for you. We always like to see a
gentleman, and especially an hon.
orable and upright one, succeed.

FERD. HERFF, JR.

The office of city treasurer, OF
the City of San Antonio, is indeed
an important one, inaSmuch as a
great deal of money is handled,
and only men Of the highest in
tegrity and ability should hold the
position. San Antonio has the
man, in the person of Mr.. Ferd.
Herff, Jr., our popular city treas
urer. In the present day man is
known for his deeds and actions,
and is thus judged accordingly.
Should we attempt to judge the
acts CT the above well-known gen.
tleman, we would be compelled to
commend them, as everyone does
who knows him.
His official career has been an
exemplary one, and the finances of
San Antonio are controlled by an
honorable and upright gentleman
and a progressive citizen.
He was horn in San Antonio in
1852, and is a son Of DIR. Ferdinand
Herff, one of our old and highly re-
spected citizens. He was educated
abroad. at Geneva, Switzerland.
where he remained from 1866 to
1870, returning to San Antonio the
latter year. He began his career
here as clerk for Grenet. He en-
tered the San Antonio National
bank as bookkeeper, and was after
wards promoted to the cashier
ship, which position he so ably
fills today.
Mr.. Herff is now serving his
fourth term as city treasurer, and
this fact alone demonstrates the
confidence the people place in his
ability. No man has ever occu-
pied the position as well as he has,
and we do not hesitate to declare
this. He has wide circle of ac-
quaintances, and among them the
LIGHT is proud to number itself.
Long may he continue to serve the
Alamo City as its treasurer. Long
may he prosper.

L. MENGER, NJ. ID.

The medical department of San
Antonio is looked after by DR.. r.
Menger, our popular city physi-
clan. He was born in San Antonio
April 81, 1851, and being one of our
representative boys, we naturally
feel proud of our city physician.
His only course of educational
training was received in San An
tonic in our public schools, and
also in our German-English school,
from which place so many of our
brightest and best citizens have
graduated. For three years DIR.
Menger studied pharmacy under
F. Kalteyer, and there received his
first knowledge of drugs, etc.
Then, in 1874, he took a voyage to
Europe and began the study of
medicine under the most able
teachers in this world, in Leipsic,
SaXony, where he remained for
some five years. In 1874 he grad
uated and became full fiedged
physician, both efficient and capa-
BILE. On his return to this country
he was appointed temporary
United States surgeon, in which
position he remained for some
months. Then DIR. Menger began
active practice until 1875, when he
was appointed city physician I'M
der French's administration, in
which position he continued until
1881, when he again resumed his
private practice. In 1892 he was re-
appointed city physician under
Paschal and has held that position
up the date. For twelve years he
was medical examiner for the New
York Life Insurance company and
for several years for the Mutual
Life Insurance company. DR..
Menger's European training has
been of wonderful benefit in his
practice, as all his cases can testi-
fly. We heartily recommend him
to each and every one as a first
class doctor and a perfect gentle
man. The LIGHT feels a pride in
her European graduate, and wish
him all possible success in his
journey through life.

DIR. CLAVIN,
ASSISTANT CITY PHYSICIAN.

ASSISTANT CITY PHYSICIAN.
The medical profession of San
Antonio has in its midst some of
the most talented and progressive
young men in the state and among
these gentlemen is our popular
and well known young DIR. Clavin,
who is at present out assistant
city physician. DR.. Clavin was
born in San Antonio on December
IA, 1868, and is one of our own
boys and consequently we feel
proud of his success in his present
vocation. His early education was
gotten at st. Mary's college, in this
city, and was really good prepa-
ratory course for what was to fol-
low. After leaving st. Mary's he
served an apprenticeship as clerk
in drug store and by diligent and
careful study, under the close OBJ
servation of his brother, finally
received a certificate admitting
him into the State Drug associa-
tion as a licensed druggist. After
being graduated and licensed as a
prescription druggist. DR.. Clavin
decided that he would prefer medi-
cine as a profession, as it was in
this line he could do more good for
his fellow creatures.
During the years 1890 through
1923 he was student in the medi-
cal department at the University
of Pennsylvania, from which place
he graduated and received his
diploma in the latter year. For
one term he served in the Presby-
terrain hospital, in Philadelphia,
and on leaving that institution he
came back to San Antonio in jan
uary 1894. In February 1895 he
was appointed to the position he
at present holds, which place he
has creditably filed since appoint
ment.
DIR. ClaVin is medical examiner
for the San Antonio branches of
American Legion OF Honor, Order
of Red Men, anl Foresters of
America. He is also a member of
the West Texas &edical society,

CHAS. +. KLOCK.

Among our prominent citizens,
and our most capable business
men, we must not fail to mention

the public schools. He was pupil
in the high school at Pine Bluff,

for two years, and has creditably
discharged his duties, and the

OUR POPULAR CITY CARPENTER.
Mr.. Downey's record as citizen
of San Antonio needs no eulogy at
our hands. He is widely known
as one of our most influential
