coRBETTs QUARTERS.
Slow Progress in Raising subscrip

Slow Progress In Raising Supscrlp-
tions Toward That End.
ave haven't yet raised half the
money necessary for the arrange
ment OF Corbett's training quar-.
terra" remarked Mr.. G. Roth, who
Is one Of the committee for solicit
ing subscriptions for that purpose,
yesterday. Mr.. Roth was hustling
around all day yesterday with a
subscription list, and said it was
the toughest thing he ever struck.
Messrs. George Walker, j. B.
Brooks, George F. Lupton, G. Roth
and B. w. Randall visited the
Jockey club grounds and Alamo
Heights Friday afternoon. They
have decided on the Russell cot
tage on Alamo Heights, near the
Argyle hotel, as headquarters for
Corbett, Brady and party. Cor
belts training quarters will be at
the Jockey club grounds. The en-
tire clubhouse, with the exception
of that part used as the bar, will be
at his disposal. Work will begin
this week in putting in bath tubs
and shower baths, and also in con-
structing the handball court,
which will be 40 feet long, 20 feet
wide and II feet high. 1t will be
located just north OF the club
house.
Corbett and party will leave
New York about October l and
will arrive in San Antonio about
the 4th, when he will begin active
training.

porter. His name is forgotten but
he was poor fellow, so run down
In the scale Of humanity that he
was not too nice to eat decayed ba.
nanas and other fruit that was
hauled out in the garbage, nor was
he particular about what he found
in the condemned castaway TASKS
and bottles he found in the dump,
After drinking something he found
in a bottle, he began to feel i'll and
laid down. He never afterward
arose and died within four hours
He had possibly drank poison
The garbage burner was cour-
teous and answered all questions
He burns the piles OF rubbish in a
long cut in the abandoned rock
quarry,on toy Of a hill and there Is
fine natural draught which comes
from the southeast and blows all
the offensive odors to the north
west OF the city. The burner told
the reporter that there Is not a
house in that direction for many
miles and that there had been no
complaint from other directions.
The fires are started in the morn
ing and as each load OF trash is
brought from the city, tits dumped
on the heap and the flames are
thus fed all day and the fires are
thus maintained during the night
The burner has a little one room
house with a shed:!for a horse
which has been constructed
out OF old pieces OF tin and
sheet iron found in the dump. The
door is also made up OF old stray
boards, while the roof is an ingen.
ious collection OF shingles, tin,
boards and thatch.! Over the door
is one OF the latest style city house
numbers. Inside is an open fur
mace OF loose stones laid on each
other, where the blackened coffee
pot is used at tho MONDAY meal.
The reporter soon retraced his
steps and went over to the upper
pump house of the waterworks
company and had pleasant chat
with Superintendent Dittmar, who
is in charge OF the property COM
prised in the Breckenridge preser-
yes. He states that sometimes, at
night when the wind shifts the
garbage smoke is very annoying to
his family, but as general thing,
they are not bothered with it.
Over very queer suspension
bridge the river was crossed and
the artesian we'll that helps supply
the city with water, was inspected.
The bridge deserves mention. 1t was
by Mr.. Dltmar's son,
who is quite an engineer, and is
made Of No. 8 wire stretched taut
from upright to upright posts
on each side Of the river, the posts
being anchored by stay wires to
trees. Cross wires are twisted in the
main strands and on these is a foot
board tied. Other wires stretched
across to the upper part Of the
posts, serve as hand rails and these
are firmly netted to the lower
main strands by connecting wires,
until a strong and very durable,
though spider like bridge is formed
which sways with every foot pres
sure, yet would support the weight
)f horse.
The return to the city was made
through the shady lanes of the
Breckenridge property, and out
River avenue.

SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying

The City Council have made a
grievous mistake in prosecuting
Old Man Kuefner. After exoner-
ating him from blame as an in
spector then to try him for drunk
enness is going too far and the
people will so regard it.
Evidently there is a powerful in
fluencc to get rid Of Kuefner who
only did what he conceived to be
his duty. Had the beer drinking
charge been preferred at the start
it would not look so bad.
There is no telling how many
glasses of our home brew OF beer
solid old German can swallow
and not be subject to the charge Of
drunken ness.
We are not instituting a tenn
perance crusade. The whole city
administration is addicted to a
cool refreshing glass of beer, why
should we cut of Old Man Kuef-
ner?,
What is good for the alderman
is good for the man on the sewer
trenches.
Are the members of the City
Council going to pull down their
faces, roll up their eyes, twirl their
thumbs, and exclaim, oh, you old
beer sot, you drank at least five or
six glasses of beer on hot July
day. You must be bounced. Go
and join the temperance band and
repent.
Example is a great thing. IL
we can call the city charter "bun-
die of rags" and set ourselves up
as beer,gauge, there is no tel
ling who will follow our example.
Section 246 is still the municipal
stumbling block. Every alderman
should feel that this section is his
shield of defence against any i'm
putation OF self interest in the dis
charge of his duties.

An Irrigation Echo

The efforts of Captain b. F. Buzz

Irrigation company, to float the
bonds of that corporation, were re-
called by suit in the Circuit court
yesterday. He came to st. Louis
about year ago to secure money
for the irrigation of the staked
plains. He spent a good deal OF
money hobnobbing with club
members, but seemed to fail to en-
list their lasting interest in his
plans. The suit filed yesterday
was on drafts for $1,000, which
were drawn on B. f. Small & Co.,

Manhattan Beach, N. Y, July "a
The subcommittee of the committee of
railroad OFFICIALS appointed to formulate
plan for the maintenance of freight
and passenger rates met at the Oriental
hotel, Coney Island, this morning and
continued in session all day with inter-
mission for luncheon. The sub-com-
mittee is made UP of the traffic man
ayers Of the different roads. 1t Is the
working committee of the general com
mittee and the task now beofre 1t may
take weeks to complete.
| The committee has under considera-
| ton an elaborate plan of organizing a
governing board in which rail and lake
lines will be represented, this board to
appoint three commissioners to whom
the rate making power is to be relegat-
ed and authority given to isue orders
for the board, construt agreements and
act as general arbitrator. Other fea-
lures Of the plan include the estab-
llshment of "a general freight clearing
house, the discontlnuance of outside
soliciting agents and the discontinuance
of joint relations with lines which do
not observe agreed rates of fare.
| So far as the committee has gone IA
vorable progress has been made and no
strong opposition to the general plan
has developed. The plan formulated
by the subcommittee will be submitted
to the general committee of presidents
and when ratified by them will be laid
before the executive boards OF the
roads. Its final adoption will mean the
merging of the General Traffic associ-
| alton and the Trunk Line association
