The Musical Wonders Visit to San
Antonio.
Blind Tom, the musical phenom-
enon, arrived in San Antonio Sat-
urday, to fill an engagement at the
Grand opera house. He appeared
last night, and his engagement
closes tonight.
A reporter for the LIGHT called
on Tom in his room in the Arcade
hotel yesterday. and through the
aid of Mrs. Bethune, his guardian,
Tom was made to answer several
questions put by the reporter. He
will answer no one but Mrs.
Bethune. Tom is a natural born
idiot, and his only faculties are a
wonderful memory and music. He
may be termed living phono-
graph, for he can repeat speech
verbatim. His musical qualities
are unsurpassed. Tom makes his
own announcements and speaks
of himself in the third per-
son. He does not understand
the meaning of the words,
he speaks, but he has heard them
used by his former manager, before
he died, in announcing the phe-
nomenOn's appearance, and Tom
has remembered them ever since.
He has no conception of time. He
Tvs he is forty-five years old and
was born thirty-siX years ago. He
is about five feet two inches high
and ways about $50 pounds. He
says he is thirty-six feet high and
weighs thirty-fve pounds. His
favOrite vegetable, he says, is ice
| cream.
Blind Tom has been seen here
before. He is known all over the
world, and after he is dead his
| name will be chronicled among
notable historic events.

Ticket Agents Fault.

Mrs. Emma Rash, German
married woman, whose mother
lives near Laredo, came to this city
last Thursday night from Calves
ton, with her baby. She was try.
ing to get home to her mother,
whom, she said, was dying, and
had called her from Galveston by
telegram. She wandered about the
city with her baby at night, until
she found a Mexican family on La
redo street, who took her in and
interested Mr.. Albert Meyer in her
case. She said she bought, or
thought she had, ticket for Lare-
do, but found it would only take
her to San Antonio. She finally,
after spending two days here, sue
ceeded, yesterday morning, in get
ting off to Laredo in an almost
frenzied state. Mr.. Meyer pur-
chased her ticket for her.
Mr.. Meyer says he thinks the
fault of the delay and the predica,
ment Of the poor woman lies at the
door of the Galveston ticket agent
who should have told her the
ticket would not carry her any
further than to San Antonio. II
she had known this she could have
got more money to start with.

received too wide fame to require

orally conceded that Mr.. Robson
has found a character in it, ideally
suited to his peculiar individuality

the happy faculty Of pleasing all
portions Of the house, from those
in evening dress in the orchestra,
to the gentlemen who lean far over
the upper gallery rail to take in ev-

called a play Of the times. Both

OUR PRUNING KNIFE.
How the Taxpayers Money Gould

Alderman Richards has made a
break as a reformer in cutting
down the salaries Of the policemen,
tiremen and some OF the minor
clerkships. Now, if the city is I'M
able to meet the present eXpendi-
lures, the LIGHT suggests that in.
stead OF trimming the little fellows,
the following cut offs and reduc-
tions be made:

Make every employe put in full
nine hours day, the aldermen
meet, say at 10 o'clock a. M, and
put in full day for their So, and
hold sessions only twice a month !;
cut off all sinecures not mentioned
above. Plug up the holes and
leaks in water, gas, electric lights,
ETC., etc, and the city can save
$4,000 or $4,000 more year.
We might reduce the number Of
firemen few men, but have only
good men, and pay them living
wages. With an increase OF four
mounted policemen, we could cut
off about one-third OF the foot men,
and it would not be necessary to
cut the salaries much.
In addition to the above cuttings
and savings stop paying the bank
interest on our own money il one
fund is exhausted, borrow from the
one that has surplus and refund
as the taxes are collected.
NOTE.-Cut off the so allowed
for collecting back taxes, and make
the city collector do the work, and
save the taxpayers about $4,000
on this little cut alone.
: If the above suggestions are
adopted our taxes could be re
. duced, and the city could be put or
! cash paying basis.

AUNT DURYEA'S CHOICE.
How She Discovered Rose Mars
den's One Talent.

May borrow one Of your girls for
q year?" Auntie Duryea wrote to her
sister-in-law, Mrs. Marsden, just before
she started to pay her Compromised
visit my physician has ordered me
to 60 abroad, and should like to have
one Of the girls accompany me. A leg
acy left by a distant relative makes it
possible for me to travel In frst-class
style, and also to give her every advan-
tsge should like, If you don't mind,
to make my own choice. Please don't
inform the girls Of my intentions nor
my increased income, and think |
shall be able to Judge in weeks time
which one shall enjoy most as q COM
panion."
And Aunt Duryea had arrived, and
was quietly spending u few days
at Mrs. Marsden's. She was
a dear, good woman" her three
pretty nieces remarked to one another,
and while they cxerted themselves to
entertain her, they little dreamed that
she was intently studying their DISPOSE
tons.
"0f course she'll take Dell, i" the fond
mother thought one evening, as this
daughter favored them with both vocal
and instrumental solos. "a girl who
can sing and play is always in demand;
and Auntic Duryea seems so pleased
with her"
Just then Dell turned from the in
strument and said:
"How Is it, ma, that Mrs. King hasn't
sent home our new piano cover? This
looks SO shabby. | wish she would
hurry"
perhaps she was too busy getting
the lambrequin Finished remarked
Rose, looking admiringly at the new
mantel-cover
'0hl that's so; hadn't noticed that
the lambrequin had come" exclaimed
Dell.
Nor had L." added Beulah; II was
SO disappointed about the piano cover
that failed to see the other"
II think it is very pretty" said Rose.
80 do l." replied DELI "but | do
hope that we won't have any callers
until we get this thing out Of the way"
I'VE needed the llmbrequin most,
you know" Rose went on, "and sup
pose that is why Mrs. King sent 1t first.
The old one was scorched, and the
piano cover is only little faded. As
for the other things, we are not In any
hurry at all for them"
NO assented Beulah, 'and yet
when you order work done you want 1t
as soon as possible"
"Is Dell your only musician" Auntie
Duryca asked Of Mrs. Marsden the
next day when the girls were away at
school. DO neither Rose nor Beulah
care for music?"
"They each play and sing little,
but they haven't Dcll's talent. She Is
the musician Of the family"
~ suppose they have some other tai
ent, then"
well, ycs-that is, Beulah has; she
is considered fine elocutionist. She
reads beautifully, and is very fond Of
IT,"
II like TO hear girl read well" re-
Piled Auntie Duryea. IL suppose /
may have the pleasure Of listening to
her? How about Rose?'
She hasn't any special talent. She
Is a good girl, and generally succeeds In
what she undertakes but she doesn't
excel in any one thing. am sorry for
II, too. for she is at disadvantage be-
side her sisters"
Auntie Duryea looked thoughtful for
a moment and then inquired;
How old Is Rose?"
Just seventeen"
"she Is ponn1 yet perhans she will
