GODS ACRE

There was simple homeliness
Of faith In the old verbiage that
designated the cemetery, the burial
place OF all that is mortal Of our
loved ones, Goods acre." 1t would
take a very vivid stretch of mag
ination to see much OF this in the
cemeteries Of this city, since they
have been turned out to grass and
left to the vandalism of all those
rowing bands, who find on these
grassy mounds only resting place
for their laziness, and on these
white marbles the ground for desc
Grating pencil or knife. 1t is GER
tainly not to the credit Of the city
that the cemeteries, in which repose
the ashes Of our dead, and around
whose last resting place 80 much
OF sad and sacred memory fingers,
should be left uncared for to the
extent that they now are. The
attention OF the City Council has
been on more than one occasion
called to this neglect, by petition
and otherwise, and 1t Is evry much
to be regretted that matters have
so long remained as they are. Com
plant is made in various quarters
of the neglect and disorder into
which things have been suffered to
fall and this condition of affairs is
charged to the negligence of the
city authorities. 1t may not be
their fault, but il not it is certainly
their misfortune. The plea, that
there is no money to look out for
the resting place of the dead, not
being comeatable for the
needs Of the living, may be q
valid one, but 1t does not relieve
the situation. The cemetery is
too dear to the hearts of the
average human being to be per-
mitted to lie unkempt and forsak-
en- without challenging comment
and rebuke. From whatever cause
the present condition arises, it
would be wise for the City Council
to consider the situation carefully
and see If some measure of relief
cannot be afforded. That some
action Of theirs is needed is not
more certain than that they would
receive the blessing Of thousands
whose dead repose in the cemetery,
by having the "God's Acre" Of the
city put into proper condition and
so kept as to be a credit and salts
faction to those who visit 1t to drop
the silent tear or strew Sewers
over the sod that covers the graves
of loved ones.

Grand Opera House .

The Kimball Opera Comique
company drew large audiences at
the matinee and night perfor-
names yesterday and gave a
splendid program.
There are so many good things
presented that it is hard to par
ticularize in the small space in our
crowded local paper today.
Corinne was the pivotal star of
the play and is a great part of the
performance. She ably seconded
by Charley Fostelle, the Nichols
sisters, as the colored girls, Ben.
Grinnel, as Svengali, in his inim-
mitable dancing and specialties,
and the remainder of the large
company.
The travesty on "Trilby" was a
great hit, and was better even than
the original play seen here some
time ago, Corinne being a very
pretty Trilby and Grinnel a most
perfect Svengali.

THE SUNDAY LIGHT.
LET ALL BID.

And Give Bexar County the Best
and the Cheapest.
County Commissioner Dryer
presented the following resolution
to the county commissioned yes
terday, which was filed with the
clerk:
SIN view of the fact that it has
become necessary to reduce the
cost for the completion of the
new county court house, and mas.
much as the architect has been in
structed to so arrange and revise
the plans and specifications by
eliminating from said plans and
specifications all items that are
not absolutely necessary for its
completion, and making such
changes as would reduce the cost
of completion, and thus bring the
same within as low cost as pos
sible, l therefore present to this
honorable court the following reso-
luton:
"Resolved, That the architect is
hereby instructed to so change
that portion OF the plans and spec
ifications OF the interior finish of
the new county court house, which
states that only one steel company
in tho, United States should furn.
ish the steel lining, and allow any
and all steel companies in the
United States to compete or bid for
said steel lining, and by so doing
not give one company the monop-
oily, thus inviting competition on
the price of steel lining furnished,
which may be thereby reduced,
and thus rebound to the interest
Of Bexar county"
The present contract is that the
Hall Steel company furnish the
steel lining for the courthouse, and
it is said that this company has
raised its price on steel, hence Mr..
Dryers resolution.
