DIAMOND DOTS.

Manager Glare must understand
that San Antonio will not tolerate
the kind OF ball his men have been
putting up the past three games.
In the game at Galveston yester-
day the Sand Grabs walked away
with the Missionaries with a score
of 10 to-.
Thus far the San Antonio ball
team has accomplished nothing to
encourage the game in this city.
The team is playing losing ball
and the cranks are becoming dis
couraged.
The fact is plainly visible that
San Antonio needs better hitters
and fielders. The base running OF
the men is also of very inferior
order.
The defeat at Galveston made
Mascot "Crip" sick and he had to
be shipped home.
Dean played with the San Auto
Mo team yesterday. He made two
hits and one run. The other run
was scored by Graney, who also
made hit.
San Antonio started on the to-
boggan slide Immediately after the
first game, and now the three SIS
are tied for last place-Sherman,
Shreveport and San Antonio.
1t may be that the team is play
ing in hard luck, but this will have
to be remedied in very short
while.
Pitcher Tyler passed through
here over the Southern Pacific
from Los Angeles, Cal, yesterday
afternoon en- route to Galveston,
where he joins the San Antonio
team today. Clare will pitch to-
day and Tyler tomorrow.
The Missionaries, who will in the
future be known as the "N1istits,"
made six errors, Of which Graney
made two and Kaymer three. Gal
weston played an errorless game,
The Mistits succeeded in finding
Page for only five safe hits. Page
pitched against an amateur team
in San Antonio in '92 and was
knocked out of the box.

SUIT AGAINST THE CITY.
Captain Mackey Wants $4,000
Damages.

DauhSCos
A suit for damages in the sum
Of $4,000 was brought against the
City of San Antonio by Captain
Nelson Mackey in the Forty-tifth
District court yesterday afternoon.
He alleges in the petition that
since October l, 1885, the city has
used his property near Lake View
and Prospect Hill as a dumping
ground, thereby rendering it I'M
inhabitable. Captain Mackey
formerly resided near this place
and claims that in order to avoid
the stenches and Odors and to
preserve the health OF himself and
family he was compelled to remove
from that neighbOrhoOd.
The petition states that the city
deposited on his property, and
also on the property Of Others,
carCasses of dead animals, decayed
animal and vegetable matter,
night soil, garbage, filth and re-
fuse matter OF every description,
and allowed the same to remain
upon the surface of the ground,
unburied, where it was allowed to
purify and decay, whereby noxi.
Gus and unhealthy doors and
stenches arose therefrom, render
ed said property and other pro-
Derty in the neighborhood unin-
habitable.

Trying to Save the Party.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April o.
Secretary Hinrichsen, of the DEM
ocratic State Central committee,
has given out personal letter, re-
ceived from Judge Andrew J. Hun
ter, Of Paris, Ill, in relation to the
coming state convention. The let
ter is very lengthy; it deals with
the controversy, which has been
going on since the call for the con-
vention was issued, and Expressed
qualification at the prompt action
taken by the committee to secure,
il possible, "such harmony in the
party as will enable them to re-
deem the state and save the party
from great dangers that now
threaten its existence"
Judge Hunter says the party is
badly divided, owing to the refusal
of the administration, the Senate
and the House to carry out the
Chicago platform, all OF these acts
being to make gold alone the stan
dard and to repudiate silver in
every conceivable manner. He
said:
"The acts Of the administration,
fell like bright and mildew upon
the hopes Of the party, leaving
nothing but defeat and disintegra-
ton as a monument. He thinks the
committee has adopted the only
safe course left to the faithful
servants, to go to the people with
the complications, let them speak
and when their voice is heard, let it
be final. If there are men in the par
ty who are not willing to obey the
command of the people, it is time
for them to learn that the Democ-
racy is not plaything, but found
ed on popular will"

ANTI-NUDITY BILL.
New York Legislature Tackles One
and Amends it in the Inter
est of Art

est OF Art.
ALBANY, n. V, April 24.-What
was designed to be tame bust
ness-like session OF the Legislature
started in a contrary manner by
the launching Of the Ainsworth
anti-Nudity bill and a consequent
discussion. No sooner had the
clerk announced the bill than there
was an amendment offered by Mr..
Friday eXempting from the bills
provision all entertainments where
historical costuming, ball or oper-
attic performance were concerned
Mr.. Ainsworth said he expected
that no such amendments would
prevail. The bill was designed to
protect the morals of the country
and hinder any display that was
in any way indecent. No man
could stand up and justify such ex.
hibitiOns as have caused the intro
duction of the bill. The bill was
demanded by every deceit citizen
in the state and no man who was a
lover Of the land and the people
could oppose; and that for the pro-
lection OF the home and everything
that was pure the bill should pass.
Mr.. Ainsworth said: "Why, Mr..
Speaker, these destroyers Of every
thing that is pure and decent have
sent their pernicious stuff into the
female schools"
Mr.. Foley 81 don't believe that
the art views of the female form
are so very detrimental to any
body's morals. 1t is rather the
acting and conversation in indie
cent lines"
Mr.. Armstrong: 81 am in favor
Of the principle Of the bill, but |
am also for the amendment, for l
believe that the line should be
drawn in the bill, and not left so
ambiguous that art sales, eXhibi-
tions, etc, should all be prohib-
ited."
Mr.. Stanchfield contended that
the law was so broad that any pro-
duction denounced by a crank
could be adjudged indecent, and
he believed that the line should be
drawn.
Mr.. Fridays amendment was
adopted by decisive vote, and the
bill, as amended, was ordered
printed for passage.

A NEW DISCOVERY BY THE
SHAKERS,

For more than a hundred years the
Mount Lebanon Shakers have studied the
cultivation of medicinal plants and
sought to extract from them their healing
essences. Their labor has not been spent
in vain. They have made a discovery
that will prove blessing TO mankind. 1t
consists of cordial that causes imme-
date relief in cases of Indigestion. The
Importance Of this discovery will be ap-
parent when we realize that nearly nine
tenthS of all our SutferingS are caused by
dyspepsia or Indigestion. Nearly every
person you meet has this digestive
trouble in some of it, varied fOrmS-Sick
headache, distress after eating, pain and
fullneSs in the chest after eating, palpita
tiOn of the heart, etc, are but symptoms
of Indigestion. To relieve these suffer
ingS has been the study of the Shakers,
and they have succeeded. The reason
the Shaker Digestive Cordial has such an
immediate and Salutary effect is that il
causes the food eaten to be digeSted, for
ii is undigeSted food that causes the dis
t-eSS. The cordial causes the food to be
dIgcSted before there is time for it foer-
ment and sour 90 the StO mach. When
the food is so digeSted il gives strength
and VigOr to the feeble body, makes one
feel bright and cheerful, and makes one
gain in flesh.
The Digestive Cordial is so prompt In
its action that the very first dose will
have a perceptibly favorable result. 1t
gives immediate relief.
In order to prove this statement. small
trial bottles placed in the druggists hands
can be obtained for ten cents each. This
trial bottle will have decided beneficial
effecG and will satisfy any one that the
Cordial is adapted TO his case After

that New York cab fares were higher
