ALIEN SARTOR,
lis WEST COMMERCE. STREET.


We acknowledge our inability to
do anything like justice i'm de-
scription of this palace business
house. Suffice it to say that the
writer has visited thousands of
stores in the various lines of trade
and for elegance, completeness of
finish and furnishings, conven-
fence for patrons, ETC., it rivals all
and is entitled to the blue ribbon.
The stock is in keeping with the
surroundings and simply beggars
description. Speaking of the stock,
1t must be seen to be appreciated,
and when we designate Mr.. Sartor,
the largest jewelry dealer in western
Texas, we but do him justice. The
stock of diamonds attracted our
attention by reason of their large
number and exquisite beauty. In
this line we believe that no house
in San Antonio carries as many or
as fine line. The line of watches
is superb, the solid and silver plat
ed silyerware is grand. Novelties
rich and rare, of all descriptions,
art, porcelain, bric-a-brac, bronzes,
etc. The house was founded i'm
1919 by the father of the present
proprietor, on the same spot where
the elegant new building was
erected in 1894. Reliability is the
basis of the success of this house.

ga little learning is dangerous thing,

The educational facilities of San

reputation of its inhabitants for

strates that the city is alive to the
truth of the above couplet, and it is
therefore no source of surprise that
every genuine effort to provide the
public's wants i'm this direction
should meet with great encourage
ment. The large business done by
Mr.. Roe demonstrates this fact.
February, 1894, he bought out DIR.

state that he is considered as abso-

negotiates, loans, pays taxes, does
collecting and assesses property,

has on his books large and desir-

When the educational leaders who

of school and pronounce it good.
when they approve it's methods of
teaching and course of study, then
the supreme court in education has
spoken and its verdict cannot be
gainsaid. The San Antonio Aca-
denny has had its work thus tested
for nine years, and is justly proud
of the laurels it has won. During
the past wear graduates of this
school were ennrolled at Princeton
College, University Gs Virginia,
University of Pennsylvania Lee

sity of Texas, Michigan Mining :
school, Pennsylvania Military col

The academy is located just OPP

of those times that tried men
lsouls.
San Antonio is called the Gala
mo City, in the very heart of tn
city stands the old Alamo mission
which served as fort for Travis
Crockett, Bowie, and III. tL-lli'' .l f;;ttt
band Of heroes, who fell in the
cause of American liberty, after an
unexampled resistance to Santa
Anna, with his army of Mexican
veterans. The Alamo has been APP
propriately styled the Thermopele
of Texas, but while Thermopela
had its messenger of defeat, the
Alamo had none.
The career of a city is as the life
of an individual, full of little things
that are of minor Importance in
themselves, but when taken in con-
nection, as links in a chain of cir
cumstances, they possess a value
that is not to be discarded. But
of the thousands of every day hap
penings there are many that are of
no significance, and it is perhaps
more the conditions which exist as
general result of these small
things that should be taken as the
pulse of the living corporate body.
Cause produces these conditions,
however, and while further on and
in various other portions of this
paper will be found many circum.
stances arising secondly from con-
ditions, yet the object of this is to
recount in brief the successive steps
that have placed our beloved city
in the position she now occupies.
San Antonio, the city whose
merits we record, has never had a
boom. Its growth has been
steady and natural. If the spiders
of conservatism are allowed to spin
the webs of caution in the window
of opportunity, the people of a
city may become oblivious to that
which betokens a splendid future,
as the bats are to the movements of
Venus or the oscillations of Jupiter.
San Antonio has natural resources
and favorable environments beyond |

degree its claims on and promises

Cannot Be Removed from the
Police C0mmissiOnership
JUDGE SANDERSON'S OPINION
II Is Held that Governor Budd Cannot
Remove
The Supreme Court Decision a. Expressed In
the Hinton Case Held To Be the
Law in the Present Case

San Francisco, March 2.--Moses A
Gunst for the time being is firmly seated
as a member OF the police commission
for Judge Sandcrson, to whom the con
troversy between him and Stewart Men
zies was submitted, has so decided. The
case will be taken to the Supreme Cour
for final decision.
In rendering his opinion, Judge Sand
erson said that in his judgment tho CASE
of the People versus Hammond was de-
cisivc in the case at bar, and upon the
dictum Of the Supreme Court in relation
to it he rested his judgment in deciding
in favor of the validity of Gunsts claim
| to the commissionership.
The Hammond case in brief was: Prior
to the death of Mr.. Hammond, and in
1884. Governor Stoneman named William
M. Hinton as a police commissioner in
place of Mr.. Hammond, on the theory pre-
sumably that Hammond, having held the
office for four years and over, there was a
vacancy, under section of the constitution
which declared that no term of Office, cx-
cept as allowed by the constitution, shall
exceed four years, and which the Cover
nor had the right to fill. Hammond de-
cli1ed to surrender the Office to Hinton,
who sued for the same, as Mr.. Menzies
does here, and the Supreme Court held
that Hinton is not entitled to the office,
saying there was no vacancy for the Gov.
ernor to fill.
1t is claimed on behalf of Menzies that
that there is a distinction in the fact and
consequently in law, between his position
and that Of Hinton when striving to OBJ
tain the Office from Hammond, inasmuch
as there was no formal act of removal of
Hammond by Governor Stoneman.
Fhe report then reviewed the authori-
ties submitted and the various minor
points raised by both sides and concluded
in these words:
1T plainly appears in the People
against Hammond that the Court was of
the opinion and decided that the Cover
nor had no power to remove Hammond
and appoint Hinton in his place. There
is no legal distinction whatever
between the position Of the de-
PENDANT, Gunst and Hammond.
Gunst stands, in law, in the place where
Hammond stood when the Governor
in 1885 sought to remove him by appoint
ing Hinton in his stead. The Supreme
Court held it could not be done for the
sole and simple reason that the power of
the Governor was limited to the filling of
vacancies as to these commissioners and
that there was no vacancy in the Office
for the reason that Hammond was the in
cumbent and performing his duty On
the authority of that case therefore, the
judgment must be for the defendant and
it is so ordered
