The death rate Tor tue state oil New

The Comedians Conroy and Fox
A double interest Is attached to
the performances to be given at

it will be the first appearance

Irish comedians on the stage al

it will be in their new comedy
"O'Flarity's Vacation" from the
pens Of Arthur North and Hart.
wig Cassell. Conroy & Fox are
indeed great artists. In fact the
New York Herald goes so far as
to call them "The Kings of Celtic
Humor." They are thoroughly
original in whatever they do, and
do not depend entirely upon the
lines OF their play to gain this
effect. They make their humor as
the play progresses and it is of
the bright sparkling kind that
makes ones sides ache. Unlike
many OF the present day comedy
stars, they do not try to give
the entire show themselves, but
have tho assistance of bright,
clever lot of people who are
thoroughly capable OF keeping up
interest Of the performance when
Conroy & Fox are not on the stage.
Prominent in the cast is, Miss
Katie Allen, whose clever soubrette
work with Conroy & Fox last sea-
son was one Of the big features
Of eliot Tsmales;" Hays & Post,
the grotesque comedians who
have been creating such a tire
menduous hit at the Madison
Square Roof Garden, New York,
this summer; Miss Letta Mere
dith, late OF the Boston Theatre
"Black Crook" Co.; Miss Susie
Martin, whose clever Irish char
acter work with Edward Harrigan
the past few seasons has made
her one OF the strong favorites OF
that stars support. The company
also includes Miss Jean Evelyne,
Mr.. j. w. Kingsley and a num-
Der of other clever people who
Will assist in making things lively
on this occasion. "O'Flaritys' Va
cation" is said to be bright, spark
ling Irish-American comedy, with
clean, wholesome plot, which
gives Conroy & Fox the best OPP
portunity they have ever had of
displaying their clever ability.
Every feature of the performance
is said to be entirely new to
theatre goers of San Antonio and
this, together with the fact that
Conroy & Fox are among the
strongest favorites coming to this
city, will surely serve to I'LL the
house.

SEWER NOTES.

The sewer contractors are now
using three kinds of brick for the
sewers, viz, the Kampmann, Mon.
terey and Degener brick.
In the big sewer on Navarro
street the Monterey red brick, are
used alternately with the others,
as the first named is so smooth it
is found the cement would not
fasten to its surface il used alone.
An electric pump to keep the
water out OF the way Of the brick
layers, has been in use this week
at this place, and two hand power
pumps have also been in use.
The dirt taken from the trench
is piled ten feet high on the east
side Of this street, and on the side
walks, closing up the doors of the
offices OF Drs. Clsvin, Bennett and
Fields and Baetz's blacksmith
shop.
There was an average OF $50 men
per day at work on the sewers dur
ing the week.

rotary of Legation.


rotary of Legation.
WASHINGTON, Dec. l4.-Stephen
Bonsal, OF Maryland, transferred
during the recess OF congress from
the position OF secretary OF legation
at Madrid to that of second secre-
tary Of legation at Toxic, Japan,
appears to have run stoul OF snag
in the committee on foreign rela.
tions Of the senate. Mr.. Bonsal
was Endorsed by Senator German,
among others, for foreign mis-.
sion, his preference being the sec.
retaryship of the legation at Rome
He was given that at Madrid, but
last summer was transferred to
Toxic, and Mr.. II. Clay Armstrong
sent to Madrid in his place.
This nomination with others was
taken up by the committee on for
eign relations yesterday when the
statement was made that the SER
vices of Mr.. Bonsal at Madrid had
become impaired owing to certain
acts of his, and that this govern
ment had found it necessary to
make the transfer to Japan. Nc
particulars were given, and the
committee seemed to be ignorant
OF the nature of the report. 1t was
decided that no action should
be taken until the committee
was acquainted with all the
facts, and the state department
will be requested to lay them be
fore the committee. Without know
ing what the complaint was the
committee, it is understood, took
the general ground that if there
were reasons why Mr.. Bonsal could
not acceptably fill the place al
Madrid those reasons would doubt.
less apply to Toxic, and the case
was therefore held up until infor

MR.. PAYDAY.

Mr.. Payday has been absent
from the city hall nearly three
months, his whereabouts has been
unknown; not even the detectives
could catch on. But this jolly,
wellted, well-paid individual has
announced that he will make a
call before Christmas, and then
disappear for another vacation.
If Mr.. Payday expects to be re-
elected he will have to reform; he
can't disappear i'll this way with
out accounting for himslf. He has
been receiving big sums of money
and there is a suspicion that he
has several hundred thousands
lying idle in his banks, that is do
ing no one any good but the
bankers. OF course the city hall
boys are opposed to any reductions
of salary or force, but they are sus.
picious that Mr.. Payday is not
suffering for any OF the creature
comforts while they are pinched
and distressed.
Mr.. Payday has lost his former
good reputation for being punctual,
and there are many ugly rumors
that he is specializing and hence
has run short. But the boys are
all glad to hear that he will return
for a brief visit, and play Santa
Claus, but he had better get
back to his old habit of being
punctual or he will find an un-
pleasant reception when he again
asks the boys to give him lift.
