engaged to furnish music on these occa-
siOnS.
The opening day promises to be most
suspicious one. The San Antonio and
Austin teams, in uniform, will parade the
city in carriages, headed by brass band,
and one Of our leading citizens will be
prevailed upon to deliver an opening ad-
dress.
Catcher Hughes. who played in San
Antonio with the Bracket team in '93,
and will be rem embered by many as
"Riley," by which name he was known
for the reason that he wore a uniform
with the name Fort Riley on it. may be
signed for the local team. Manager
Clare thinks he is a conner.

AN ESCAPED LUNATIC.
Harry Kelly Thought He Was Going
To Be Murdered and Ran Away.

You've got no right to take me out
here Sheriff Campbell brought me here
and belong here. You are taking me
out Of here by force"
1t was the voice OF Harry Kelly, who
escaped from the lunatic asylum last Fri
day night, while the dance was going on.
He was captured by Sheriff Campbell the
next day, and taken to the county jail
pending the arrival OF the asylum Of
fcPrs.
DR.. WOrsham, superintendent OF the
asylum, drove to the county jail yester-
day morning to take Kelly back 10 the
asylum. The superintendent found hel-
ly in an upper cell, fast asleep.
What are you doing here, Kelly, he
uueripd, as he aroused him Get up. let S
go home. You are in jail. This is no place
for you. How DID you get here, anyway
Il don't want to go back" said Kelly,

here and Sheriff Campbell is nv friend.
YOu are rot going to take me out here, for

don't want to go with you and you're
taking me out by force. You've killed
my sister and now YOU want TO Kill me.
I've got friends in Waco and l am going
to get them to help me-"
Kelly is about % years OF age and
weighs about 40 pounds. 1t took Deputy
Sheriff Napier and two other big men,
however to handle him. He was placed
into carriage after a hard struggle and
hand cuffs had to be placed on him to
keep him under control.

ARMY NEWS.

REPORTED SPECIALLY FOR THE LIGHT
Yesterday being st. Patrick's
day the band at guard mounting
played several Chinese airs and
"After the Ball" in comemmoration
of the occasion.
When the members Of the garri.
son assemble in the post mess hall
for meals and look over the bill OF
fare they invariably use a bible
quotation from Hebrews, thirteenth
chapter and eighth verse, or simply
refer to the quotation as "Hebrews
13-S."
The masquerade given by the
Cavalry Social club at the post mess
hall last evening was a dandy.
1t. S. Brockenbach, Tenth cav
airy, who appealed to Congress to
retain for himself a detail at the
Military Institute Of Virginia, has
partially, at least, succeeded. He
had been on leave for six months,
a longer period than his services
entitled him to, and was employ.
ing his leisure as commandant of
cadets at said school. The Secre.
tary of War ordered him to return
to his regiment, but some Congress
sional friends secured the adoption
Of a resolution authorizing the
Secretary to allow him to remain
at the school. While the matter
is optional with the Secretary it is
understood he will not be sent to
his regiment until the close Of the
present year, when his "royal nibs'
ought to receive it in the cervical
region.
st. Patrick's day was not very
much observed around the garrison
this time. St. Patrick appears to
be losing his grip on the United
States army.
The two troops of the Fifth cav
airy, stationed at Fort Ringgold,
made a practice march to Fort
Brown, under the command of
Captain Forbush.
According to recent official state
ments, the British have in India
ia cavalry men to 100 horses; in
the colonies and Egypt, 132 men to
every 100 horses, and at home, 157
to every 100 horses. The average
mum Der of horses with each Brit.
ish cavalry regiment is 3SS.
1t is reported from Washington
that General Schofield is quite i'll
from the grip"
Captain Morton, Third cavalry, is
detailed as instructor at De La
Sale institute to relieve Captain
Yeaman, Fourteenth infantry.

SHOEMAKERS' LOCKOUT,
English Manufacturers Claim Amer
lean Workmen are Better-A
Hard Struggle Imminent.

LONDON, March 19.-The great lockout
of oootmakerS. affecting 100000 operatives,
is in progress. AS previously cabled,
owing to complicated dispute concern
ing the use of improved machinery, and
other means, the members of the National
Federation of Bootmakers, on March Stb
notified the operatives to stop work to-
day. The employers, however, refus ed to
arbitrate the question in dispute, claim
ing that the operatives did not accept the
previous decisions OF the arbitrator.
One OF the results Of this notice was
that on the following day the Shoe Opera
tive's union called out all operatives who
were not obliged to give weeks notice,
and l0OC0 operatives left work that day.
The lockout tits expected, will eventually
affect about AGO, 900 operatives.
1t has been stated that it is a question,
not of fair dealing between capital and
labor, but of whether English boot and
shoe making can be carried on in the face
OF American competition. IL this COnneC-
ton it has been stated by the employers
that even II American operatives get
twice the wages paid in England, they
can turn out cheaper shoes, owing
to their more intelligent use of machinery
The men locked out tOdav are said to
have funds amounting to 100000 with
which to see them through the first month
Of the lockout, but it is estimated the
trouble will cost the Leinster district
alone at least 81 900 600 in wages

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

The following is from an ex-
change: "Christmas eve has been
considered a good night for bust
ness by our managers; but the at
tendance at the different theatres
last evening was an exception to
the correctness Of this long-enter-
tanned opinion. There was very
large and fashionable attendance
at the California, the elite being in
CONSPICUOUS numbers. Miss Sadie
Martinez was warmly greeted on
her entrance, and her new play,
"The Passport" went merrily
through its different acts, and may
be set down as most pronounced
success. The comedy Is somewhat
complicated, but gradually unfolds
itself, and the audience catch its
good points readily. The style Of
the actress is piquant and most
agreeable. "The Passport" may be
said to be highly diverting from
the moment its action begins, and
it continues to develop fresh and I'M
expected incidents until it closes.
Mr.. Max Figman proved himself
an excellent comedian and gave
Miss Martinez splendid support.
The support is good, and there is
distinctive work for each member
Of the cast. Wednesday and Thurs
day and Thursday matinee.

BROTHERS
The Leading Clothiers
AFTER MORE FIGHTS.
The Olympic Club Will Bid For the
Corbett- Fitzsimmon's Fight.

The Olympic Club Will Bid For the
Corbett- Fitzsimmon's Fight.
New ORLEANS, La, March 49,
Since it has been decided by law
that the Olympic Athletic club
can continue glove fights without
interference arrangements will be
begun at once for some big and
important glove contests. A bid
will be made for the Corbett-FitZ-
simmons fight and a handsome
purse will be offered.
The reason why the club has not,
been prominent in trying to get
that big contest has been because
of the uncertainty of the result of
the case that has just been stated.
But Corbett and FitzsimmOns shall
have no excuse for not contesting
as far as their inability to secure
place is concerned. Corbett won
the championship here, and he
shall have a chance to defend it
here.
The club will also give the light
weights a chance to see who is
champion among them. II Nc
Auliffe is in earnest, purse will
be offered for him and some one
else. Everhardt will be a good
card here against any lightweight.
Everhardt is a southern man, and
a good one. AT any rate it is GER
tain that good purses will be offer
ed for a great contest in each class,
and probably an effort will be made
to have a contest between Critic
and Leeds, or Critic and Dixon, to
finish.
1t is the general opinion here
that the Corbett and Fitzsimmons
contest, if it takes place at all,
will take place at the Olympic
club, in this city.

Hints to the Business Mems Club.
BY "sHORT STOPS"

Not being a member OF the "Busi-
ness Mems club" and not even
solicited to become member, yet
| take deep and fatherly interest
in it's welfare. Business men
should be well posted and 60 at
things in real intelligent business
way.
This association is evidently be-
coming top heavy with mem ber-
ship, and very light in natural
resources; now, don't take this as
a spiteful remark, its only hint.
You are beating the brush on
every side for some scheme that
will help San Antonio forward.-A
fair is suggested.
A "city" that must have fa'r,to
boost it isn't much of a city-this
is only hint.
A "city" that hangs its hopes for
securing brisk times upon cattle
mans convention peg, is only on
par with an ordinary town.
Fairs, conventions, and public
assemblages of all kinds are covet-
ed by even large cities, but these
occurrences do not form the
foundation for business activity or
solid prosperity.
Make our city what it should be,
and these convention people will
be ashamed to be caught frolicking
in one-horse, uncomfortable towns
about our state.
Make our city what it should be,
and we can afford to be Indifferent
about the convention business.
The biggest institution existing
in our city is it's city government,
it would be a healthy exercise
for the members of the club to
study the city government.
Our city's credit is very good
abroad, yet rather impaired at
home. Its servants have not been
paid off for nearly four months.
Why?
Perhaps the club can answer the
question, if not a delinquent tax list
containing 5000 names can.
Will the holding of a fair, or the
printing Of a number Of pamphlets
advertising our "naturap advan.
tages, pay our taxes?
Tie first thing in order, gentle
men, is to look into our home af-
fairs,-take stock before we order
any more goods.
The Business Mems club can
make itself felt by helping the city
to pay it's bills.
Another thing, gentlemen, you
must post yourselves about your
city.
