on some one, in trying to get better
view, struck their head against the
lamp, overtuFning it. The oil caught

of flames. There was only one exit
and the flames were between the aud
fence and the door. Many rushed in
to the flames, while others were badly
trampled. Forty-one are reported to
be dead. The scene of the disaster

ECHOES FROM WEST END.

House building is being kept up
at lively rate.
There are no cheaper pleasure
excursions than the five cent runs
from the heart of the city to the
colleges on the Lakeside line.
The outdoor pavilion or boating
parties are past for the time being,
but this does not in terfere with
any social features at West End,
where parties are now beginning
to be numerous in many handsome
parlors.
Our ever obliging young post
master, Mr.. Joe George, promised
Rev. Mr.. Harrison yesterday the
loan OF an old mail box, so that the
young ladies and their tutors at
the West End Female college, can
now feel perfectly secure about
their mail. The addition OF this
box, at the West End Town COM
pany's office, will make that place
look ike a suD'postotnce.
During last year West End has
made wonderful Improvements
in the beauty OF its gardens.
Useful and ornamental shrubs and
plants have greatly increased, and
perhaps no new place in San An.
tonic could compare with Mr..
Warehouses; on kentucky avenue,
which the carpenters only finished
few months ago. Mr.. Brendel's
large garden and orchard has
never been surpassed by any one
else in any part OF San Antonio,
and others are devoting more at
tention to their surroundings.
Nearly all Of our people are their
own gardeners, but occasionally
someone-as the time approaches
now for their services-think OF
getting some real full fledged
gardeners and botanists, for tn
halfway or 5095 numb.skull OF
horticulture or chronology is too
dear at any price. West End
believes in good gardeners. 8.

Beautiful Sight.

In "Transsiberian Savages" the
author gives a description of a beau
tiful and unique phenomenon which
he witnessed off the shore of Sakha-
lin island. The bright blue water
was so clear that for a long distance
from the shore he could @ the bot
tom, and " the fishes, shoals Of
which We're moving gently hither
and thither.
Above the swimming fish was a
strange phenomenon. The surface of
the water was like dazzling snow
This brilliant white surface, which
extended over an area of nearly a
square mile, was not sea foam, for,
with the exception of the ocean
swell, the water was placid as q lake
My friend, seeing my delight, mo-
toned me to nand him one of the
rifles, He took no aim, but simply
fired.
Instantly the air was full of skim
ming snowhakes, scintillating in the
bright sunshine against the deep
blue sky right cross the horizon,
while the surface of the water ceased
to be white and became uniform in
its blueness.
This is the most beautiful sight
that this latitude has to offer, and
most fortunate was l in getting it,
just at that seaso millions upon
millions of exquisitely white birds
migrate to that spot. They are whittier
than the whitest of gulls, and their
plumage is much more brilliant, sc
as to be quite dazzling in the sun.

opportunity of determining.

What Water Can DO.

The effects of the hydraulic motor
whice is now used for the purpose
of removing masses of earth, we'll
nigh passes belief.
\ stream of water issuing from a
pipe six inches in diameter, with a
fall behind it of $40 feet, will carry
away a solid rock weighing a ton or
more to "A distance of 80 or a 100
feet.
The velocity Of the stream is ter
rife. and the column of water pro-
iected is so solid that if a crowbar
or other heavy object be thrust
against it the impinging object will
be hurled IA considerable distance
I5v this stream of water a man would
be instantly killed if he came in con.
tact with it, even at Il distance Of
POO feet.
At 200 feet from the nozzle a 6,
inch stream, with 315 feet fall, pro.

of a tree, will in a second denude i

SWIPED THE EXHIBITS.
Night Providers Raid the Cascade
County Fair Grounds.

Narious complaints and vigorous
kicks are being made over the allep-
ed fact that nearly all of the agricul-
tural products that were exhibited al
the fair have been swiped by some
body. One man SAYS that he began
the removal Of his stuff from the
grounds as soon rs the fair closed
Friday afternoon. aud that he was
stopped by the management and
told that nothing could be removed
from the grounds that night. The
anne party stats that when he went
to the grounds as early as : o'clock
saturday morning he found the
grounds Quilted Of almost everything
One party, he declared, who had
name Il fine exhibit of potatoes and
other vegetables, could actually find
nothing left but a few carrots scat
tered about the place where his dis
play had been made. In some in
stances chickens and eggs were TAX
en-, and so demoraIized were the
grounds found on the morning after
the fair was over that it was with
difficulty that some of the parties
who had made exhibits could even
find the spot where their goods had
been displayed.-Leader.

Jimmy Dawson spent a good sized pile
Of money in ~overhauling and fixing up
his country place last spring.
He had it newly papered and painted
and frescoed throughout. He laid down
hard wood floors, He set up a windmill
and connected it with a tank up on the
hill to insure "a steady pressure of water
in tho pipes. He put in new sanitary
plumbing, with hot and cold water In
nearly every room, and he INDUCED iL
the luxury of a porcelain bathtub. The
tubs in the kitchen were of slate, and the
range was of the newest and most approx
ed pattern.
Then Jimmy thought he had a very
complete place, with all the modern con-
veniences and ornaments that the heart Of
man or woman could desire.
He was proud of it all-from the fresh.
ly giIded weather van on the cupola to
the bronze dog on the front lawn.
But his attitude of complacent satisfac-
ton was destined to receive a rude shock
when Mrs. Dawson brought out the new
cook from the city.
On the drive from the station her Hi
bernian higbuess viewed the situation and
surroundings with an air of gracious and
understanding approval, but on being
shown into the perfectly appointed kitchen
her anxious employers noticed an ominous
scowl settle over her features.

temptuous sniff, "Oi'm afraid Oi'll BIZ

tremblingly, hesitatingly, as you read Of
in story books, and the scene was full Of
color, SO far as an irate father and nerve
less young man could make it.
1t came the old mans turn to speak,
and as he began his face was white with
passion, and HIS voice shook with excite
ment. "You want to marry my daugh-
terri he said. "Ah, now is the time for
my revengel Twenty years 6 your ia
Their crippled me in a stock deal, and I
swore to be revenged! And now my time
has come"
He paused for breath, and the aspirant
for the maiden's hand was about to beat a
hasty retreat in the face of supposed de-
feat when the father broke forth again:
"Yes, sir, I swore to be revenged, and
I'll now strike the father through the son.
Want my daughter, oh? Well, take her,
and may she prove as expensive to you as
she has to me-"
