ADJUSTMENTS.
JAMES O'NEILL.

There is good reason to believe that
James O'Neill has an agreeable surprise
in store for the public of this city during
his coming engagement at the Grand, on
Friday, Saturday and Sunday. This tai
ented actor promises that he will open
with "Virginius," in which he won such
well merited laurels. Much is expected OF
Mr.. O'Neill in this character. He pos
sesses all the physical and intellectual
qualities necessary to convey the right
impression of the role. Anybody who is a
lover of art, should not miss the oppor-
tunity of seeing Mr.. O'Neill as the heroic
Roman. The second night he is here, ne
will put on his old companion, Monte
Christie" the great version of which he
played so successfully throughout the
whole land over 5000 times in the course
of ten years.

The reason Mr.. Witte, 1t is said, is re-

at tie prospect OF high taxes.
Judge Noonan's election to Congress

The Alliancia Sails.

New YORK, March 2O.-The
steamship Alliancia, which was
fired on by Spanish gunboat, will
sail for Colon today. A report that
she is to carry rifles and munitions
Of war when she puts to sea was
confirmed by the agents of the line.
Her doing so, they explained, was
not at all remarkable nor in any
way sensational. The company
carries arms to the Colombian gov
eminent on nearly every trip of it's
vessels. 1t is perfectly Iegiti-
mate trade and violates no law.

Order-Other Notes,

The case OF the San Antonio and Gull
Shore Railway company, appellant
against Wn. Davis ct al, appellee, ap-
peal from BeXar county, was heard in the
Fourth Court of Civil Appeals this morn
ing. The case was appealed from the
Thirty. seventh. District court upon the
appointment OF receiver, as asked for
by plaintiff, William Davis and others.
In the opinion handed down Chief JUS
tice James says: 1T remains TO be con-
Sidered whether or not the power to grant
a recevership for this corporation had
become properly and exclusively vested in
the District court, Of the Forty fifth dis
trict In none Of the pleadings in the
Forty-tifth District court is there any
thing that asked or contemplated the APP
pointment OF receiver for the property;
on the contrary, it was essentially a suit
by the corporation TO have itself
placed in immediate possession Of the cor
pOrate property, and to be protected in
such possession against the alleged tres
passerS by injunction, and in no sense did
IL involve seizure Of, or taking into Gus
tOdy OF the court the property. The only
act OF the court referred to as being Seiz-
ure, is In the order requiring VIM. Davis
to deposit with the clerk of the court an
order IN favor Of the clerk for $13O. 900 in
bonds now claimed to be in the hands or
control of himself and John Scott The ap-
pOintment Of receiver was not in con :
tltct or inconsistent with he exercise of
any OF the powers of the Forty-fifth Dis
trict court over any of the issues before
1t The order appointing a receiver was
aftir Henry Terrell was appointed
in the lower court.

No Cut in Whisky.

NEW YORK, March 20.-Richard
b. Hartshorn, chairman of the re-
organization of the Distillers' and
Cattle Feeders company, said last
night that reports of cutting whis-
KY prices are false. This applies,
he says, to the whisky trust and
affiliated companies. If the few
remaining outside distillers are
cutting prices they are doing it to
their own injury, he said.

A Railroad Man Drinks it and
Feels All Right.

as there any danger for man to drink
gasoline?" asked West Commerce street
boarding house keeper as he rushed into
a neigh boring drug store last night about
9:3O o'clock.
"One of my boarders. who is a railroad
man on the International" he said, came
in tonight. He had been on a spree and
said he was feeling horrible. l told him
had just got bottle of mineral water
and advised hin to try some Of it. You
see, bad the bottle of mineral water and
a bottle of gasoline standing close
together, and both bottles were about the
same size
Not thinking, picked up the bottle
of gasoline by mistake. and poured some
into a cup aud handed it to him. He
drank it and said: Gee whiz, but that's

The man was told that gasoline was not
exactly deadly poison, unless taken in
large quantities.

drunk 1t will surely not hurt him. said
someone else. Another advised to give
him some more, TO counteract what he
had already taken.
The embarrassed boarding house keeper
was then given package OF EPSON salts
and told to give them TO the man with the
gasoline, and also to prepare mustard
and warm water and give that to him,
which he said ne would do. and left for
home much relieved.

FRANK BROTHERS
The Leading Clothiers
Caricature Snap Shots.

New YORK, March 20.-The first
exhibition OF the work of carl
caturists will be held at the Amer.
lean Art galleries for one week, be-,
ginning today. "Snap shots with
pen and pencil at fashion, politics,
high art and fads," is really the
title OF the display, as the cleverest
satirists OF the day will contribute
their work. The proceeds will be
devoted to the West Side Day
Nursery, pet scheme of the very
aristocracy whose foibles and van
tiles will be so mercilessly pune
tured by the exhibiting artists.
The pictures and sketches shown
will be those which have never
been seen by the public, the "dear
children Of arts nursery" as Walt
McDougail, of the World, calls
them, or "fakes," as Bohemia's
slang dubs them. None of the de-
velopments of recent years in
American life produced more ac-
tivity among these bright minds
than the Parkhurst-Tammany
fight Of 1891. Take the design,
for example, for the new City Hall,
by Morta Muir. Marguerite's apoth-
costs in Faust is nothing compared
with the glory which surrounds
DR.. Parkhurst's ride on the now
tame and harmless Tammany tiger,
while the hunt led policemen are
sending up roman candle ex-
pressions of jubilation. The
"WOman with Past"
that new and awful production of
the stage, is shown by Artist Wal
do. The following are the titles of
some Of the works that will be
seen: "Design for Fountain for
City of New York." by McGrimm,

The coming of the national convention

great opportunity for the Business Mems
cInb to get in some good work, so far as
advertising the town is concerned.
There may be few drummers 10 the
United States who have never heard OF
San Antonio, but they are few and far
between.
In his usual visit to San Antonio the
drummer simply puts up at one OF Our first
class (?) hotels, spreads out his samples or,
takes his grip in hand and makes 1.-THE
round of the business hOuses,-he pays
very little attention to the earth or sky
he ruSheS onward the next day, and
amuSeS his comrades on the cars with his
exploits, drawn largely from rich
Imagination, but he never fOrgetS to lam
hast the hotel he stopped at, If it did not
come up to a high standard.
But in time the chivalric knight of the
grip will come as our guest, ana 1t Is pro-
posed to acquaint him with our natural
and artificial advantages so that he can
spread the fame of the Alamo city,
something besides chile stands and old
missions, you know.
No class of men In the United States
are shrewder or more able to arrive at
