those days. Yet they carried their
libraries with them i'm their sad
blebags. Books were few and they
were compelled to rely not only on
precedent so much as principle.
The Southwest being then al
most entirely an agricultural
and stockraising section the
principle subjects OF legislation
were lands. Corporate law was in
its infancy, and the lawyer of ante
bellum days did not have to Crap
pie with great variety of new and
perpleXing legal problems.
Yet the "Baro was crowded with
the highest order of talent; and
especially was the bar of San An
tonic ever distinguished for the
ability and character of it's men,
bers.
At the San Antonio bar have
practiced some of the most emil
nent lawyers in Texas; men who
have adorned the history of the
state, and whose names are house
hold words.
OF the personnel of the bar,
which can be said TO be comprised
in the most part of young men,
which is characteristic of all the
professions in this section, as a
rule they are natives of other states
and graduates of the recognized
legal institutions of America, and
in point of ability, push and enter
prise compare very favorably with
the profession in the older states.
In the active administration of the
local government and in the mould
ing of public opinion in San An
tonic the bar is the leading and
controlling influence; in fact, con-
sidered as a body, they are the pi-
lots of public opinion, and it may
be said to their credit that they are
always upon the right side in any
question which affects the public
morals or the general welfare of
the community in which they
live.
The bar of San Antonio is an
able one, and its individual men,
bers are endowed with a generous
feeling toward each other, and it
may be said in truth that there are
few iealousieS and an earnest de-
sire upon the part of every men,

ANTONIO d. FLORES. ESQ.

The above named gentleman
stands in the ranks of our legal fra
ternity admired and respected for
his ability and painstaking quail
ties as a lawyer; native of our
city, descendent of one of its old
est and most honored families. He
has demonstrated the aptitude OF
our own boys to assume the re-
sponsibilities of the claimed pro-
fessions. Mr.. Flores, like all
young lawyers, must wait the rip
ening process of age, but no client
of his ever lacks the assistance ofa
quick, intelligent, well versed adj
vocate. Mr.. Flores is a full-blood-
ed American and thoroughly pa
triOtic. 1t is such men that go to
make up the best, truest, American
citizenship.
Mr.. Flores is graduate of one of
the best law schools of the coun-
try, and is well equipped in liter
airy education, and his future be-
fore the bar must be fortunate if
not brilliant. The good lawyer of
today is the man who studies, who
knows his case before he appears
before the court, who does not have
to resort to spread eagle oratOry to
make up for lack of industry, hard
work and thorough knowledge of
his case. Mr.. Flores aspires to the
reputation of being thorough,
safe attorney, and with youth, tai

ing these associations, he did a
large general practice, appearing
every year in number of murder
cases.
Some months since he moved
here on account of his wife's health
and is now engaged in doing a gem
eral law practice in all the courts
state and federal.
He has fine law library and is
located in the Frost Bank Build
ing, west side Main Plaza. He is
rapidly building up a practice and
is now retained in several impor-
tant suits.
Mr.. Jones is a Royal Arch Ma
son, Knight of Pythias, and a
democrat, and at the time of his
removal here held the chairman
ship of the Democratic Executive
Committee of his congressional
district, and though a young man
of only thirty-four, he has twice
been a delegate from his state to
the national conventions. But he
has so born himself with all, that
when he removed here a republican
paper at his home gave him a cor
dial and Auditory write up of
nearly a column, and the Hon.
Hugh G. Kyle, chancellor of 18th
division of Tennessee, a distin-
guished republican, said of him !:
.He has born himself as a just,
upright, faithful and honorable
lawyer, and has achieved an en-
viable degree of fame and success
in the practice of his profession.
He has the full confidence of his
professional bretheren of the bench
and bar, and the extensive and lu-
crative practice he has required at
tests the high estimate in which
he is held by the public at large"
And in a long letter the Supreme
Court of Tennessee says of Mr..
Jones: 1--WE can and do endorse
him as worthy of your full and
complete confidence, as a most gen
ial, honorable and cultivated gem
tleman, as lawyer of great ability
and of the highest standing. We
feel sure that among your own
bright and able lawyers, you will
find him a most desirable addition
and credit to your bar" This
statement has been borne out.

Evidence that the people of San
Antonio appreciate the efforts of
energetic and conscientious law
yers is shown in the popularity of
the subject of our sketch. Mr.. Ed
mund Haltom was born on the
22nd of February, in Upshur
county, Texas. The best part of
his earlier mental training was re-
ceived in the public schools OF
East Texas. Then he decided that
he would become a lawyer, and
consequently we find him located
in Gonzales, Texas, studying law
and fitting himself for the bar. Ii
October, 1879, he was admitted t

on the part of the United States in
the International Congress on the
slave-trade which was in session at
Brussels from November, 1889, to
July, 1890, and which drew up the
slave-trade treaty, the effect Of
which is now producing such con-
sternation and ruin to the slave
traders in Central Africa. January,
1892, Secretary Blaine summoned

treaty was subsequently ratified by

national Monetary conferences at
Brussels, and on its assembling he
was elected its sole vice-president.

ABOUT MOTHER-OF-PEaRL,

Millions Of Shells Are Needed Annually for,
the Manufacture of Buttons.
"They that go down to the sea in
ships to do business in great waters"
are more numerous that we Iand-lovers
imagine. If we pause for minute aud
think Of the countless pearl buttons
that are daily sold and utilized, all over
the world, we may then realize the
quantity Of oyster shells required to
supply this demand.
The shells from which our pearl but
tons IRE obtained IRE quite large,
weighing about three-quarterA of
pound apiece. They are shipped to us
from Australia. The accompanying
sketch illustrates the manner in hich
shell is usually diagrammed before it IL
sent to the factory. The long narrow
strip at the top forms one of the mother
of-pearl pen holders now SO popular for
holiday gifts. The straight strips are
generally made into handles Of pocket
knives, but the curved piece in the up
per right hand corner is saved, either to
fitted into the handle of large carving
knife or to adorn pistol stock. The
large buttons are generally cut from
the center Of the shell, while the small
er ones extend along the outer edge.
After the diagramming is finished,
the shell is sent to the factory to be cut,
filed. chiseled, grooved and polished,
and when this is finished the buttons
are carded and ready for market. The

Even the scraps and clippings Of the

The price of the product seems to have
reached the highest point few weeks
ago. 1t has declined some since then
but it is said there is large profit in Il
to the furnace men at present figures
At this date there are yet NO seriou,
signs Of overproduction, though the up.
precedented activity may be accepted
us an indication that prices will not ad.
vance from the level now ruling, but on
the contrary will decline.
The New York Times (ultra free
trade) comments on this with the re-
mark that "the attention of republican
demagogues who have recently been
complaining that the new tariff has
quenehed the furnace fires should be
directed to these facts" Why the at.
tention of republicans more than that
of democrats? The policy of the demo.

into "a cooked hat" at the November

railroad companies and other purchas-

were encouraged to buy more freely to
