Ingersoll's Visit,

Col. Robt. G. Ingersou, one of the
most noted orators Of the world,
and famed for his radically agnos-
tic views on religion, succeeded
with perfect ease last night in
packing the Grand Opera house
with the largest audience of the
season. Standing room was scarce.
Col. Ingersoll delivered his great
lecture on Liberty of Man, Woman
and Child" to his almost breathless
hearers, in calm, quiet way, using
the most simple and elegant Ian
guage, and his keen wit continu-
ally dubbed forth, causing the
greatest merriment.
Col. Ingersoll was accompanied
by his wife. He was suffering from
a severe chill and immediately
after his arrival yesterday after.
noon went directly to a room in the
Menger hotel and went to bed. He
seemed quite feeble while deliver
ing his lecture.
He delivers his lecture in Austin
tonight.

COLORED CHURCH ROW.

Accusations Against the Pastor not Sus-
tained-Oongregation Trimmed Out,
The mounted police from Alamo
station were called last night to
the Mount Zion Baptist church,
colored, on Santos street, South
Heights, to quell an expected dis
turbance resulting from a regular
old fashioned church row.
1t seems the row has been brew
ing and growing for some time
past, and recently broke forth in
charges being made openly by
general members of the congrega-
ton against Parson Williams.
A committee was appointed to
investigate the truth of these
charges, and at the meeting last
night it was given out that the
committee would report. This
drew very large congregation, and
after the meeting was opened the
committeeIreported, generating the
pastor, but at the same time supple
menting their Investigations with
the recommendation that near.
ly two-thirds of the congregation,
comprising the pastors accusers,
be disbarred from membership.
Then the rows commenced and
the officers had to yet In and COM
mand the peace. They had their
hands full in keeping order, but
gained their point and the report
of the committee was finally adopt
ed.
No arrests were made.

CHICKEN THIEF CAUGHT.

Clever Capture After a Stubborn Fight
and Amid Great Excitement.
An exciting capture of a Mexi-
can chicken thief occurred between
4 and o'clock this morning in the
yard of the Wehrhahn residence,
corner Alamo and Garden streets.
The house and stable have been
fitted with patent burglar alarms,
but the unsophisticated, old fash
toned Mexican chicken thief,
Polonario Martinez, didn't know
this and went to the stable oor,
inside OF which building the
chickens were roosting, and OPEN
ed it. The next thing he knew,
after he had two chickens in a sack
and another in his hand, was the
appearance Of Mrs. mehrhahn at
the door. He knocked her down
but she grabbed him and held to
him while she cried for help. Mr..
Wehrhahn rushed out and caught
the fellow, who in turn gathered
him by the whiskers and thumped
him in the mouth with his fist,
knocking out one of the old gentle
mans three teeth. Just as Mar
tinez had slipped out OF his coat
and was making for the fence,
through the fig bushes, Adolph
Wehrhahn came on the scene with
a cooked pistol.
Barefooted aud very lightly
attired, the young man moved
quickly, but just as he was near
the fugitive he stumbled and fell
and the pistol exploded. The Mex.
lean then surrendered, and Officer
Parker was summoned by tele-
phone, and took him to Jail. He
attempted to break away from the
father and son, while the officer
was being waited for, and both his
captors were considerably scratch
ed.
The case has been transferred to
the state courts.

The Spectator "

Is the title of a new semi.monthIy
paper published by A. Mills and
j. R. Morris, and edited by DR.. J.
F. Walton. In the salutatory, the
editor says:
"The Spectator will appear as a
semi-monthly, devoted especially
to the moral and Industrial i'm
provement of the race. 1t realizes
the necessity of doing something
for the practical upbuilding of the
people. While it will have politi-
cal opinions of its own, it is in no
sense political sheet. 1t is hoped
that it will meet with the encour-
agement its mission deserves"

ATTEMPTED SAFE BLOWING.

Sommer's Store Opened and the Burglars
Tools Recovered
The store Of E. Sommer, near the
corner OF North Flores and Hous-
ton streets, was entered by
burglars last night. When
the store was opened this
morning, brace and bit and other
tools were found on the floor in
front OF the safe. A hole had been
bored into the door OF the safe over
the lock. 1t is thought that the
bomb explosion frightened the
burglars away. A considerable
amount OF money was in the safe.
Detectives are working on the case.

Cause and Effect.

Success can only be assured by going back
to the cause in the treatment of disease.
Many Doctors can see the effects only, such
as are visible to the eye, and treat the SYM
ptoms, but while the cause exists a cure is
impossible and herein lies the secret of so
many failures. The skilled Specialist deyotes
all his study to few diseases and become as
familiar with them as you do with the faces
of your family. When he sees Skin Dis
ease, he knows just where the cause lies, and
just what to do.
If you have exposed yourself to disease and
there appears a suspicious sore, to his ex-
perienced eye, 1t becomes plain whether It is q
poison in the blood or a local trouble.
SO it is with Lost Manhood, Gonorrhoea,
Syphilis, Early Vices, and other Diseases of
this class.
DIR. CLEMENS mas devoted years to these
diseases aud possesses skill and methods of
treatment unexcelled.
He can cure Structure without cutting, dill
ating or electricity and without pain or loss

WHO THREW THE BOMB =?
A HOUSE WRECKED BY DYNAMITE
LAST NIGHT.
Henry johnson Says He Has Enemies and
Believes One of Them Was After Him,
But He Escaped Unhurt.

The neighborhood of North Flo
res street, between Houston and
Obraje streets, was aroused at 3
o'clock this morning by a report
sounding as if one Of Uncle Sans
big guns was doing business.
1t was the explosion of a dyna.
mite bomb, thrown into a 25x1S
iron-clad house at No. POS North
Flores street, occupied by Henry
johnson, an old colored shoemaker,
and an old white man named John
Lamb, and evidently intended for
Johnson. The house was COM
pletely wrecked, and Johnson and
Lamb had narrow escape. The
explosion shook several houses near
the place, and twenty of the front
windows Of Convention hall, which
is directly opposite, were broken.
The First Presbyterian church,
which adjoins the iron-clad house
on the south, was also damaged to
the extent of eighteen window
panes, valued at about $50.
The iron.clad house was owned
by Mrs. Edward Code, who lives
next door, No. 210 North Flores
street. 1t was valued at about
$400 and was not insured. How
ever, fire Insurance would not
cover this case. Mrs. Code and
the other members of the family
heard the explosion and immedi-
ately ran out into the street, think
ing it was a fire or an earthquake.
The place was soon surrounded
by crowd Of people, but no one
seemed to know what caused it or
who did 1t.
Neither Johnson nor Lamb were
hurt, but the latter says a heavy
scantling narrowly missed him,
which, had it struck him, would
have killed him instantly.
There was also barber shop in
the house, owned by William
Chase. The fixtures were ruined
and the damage is about $50.
johnson says he has had trouble
with his wife about other men. He
says he was married to her about
a year ago, and that about week
after they were married the trouble
began. He lived with her on Sixth
street, but lately he stayed at his
shop. He said an attempt was
made to poison him last June,
during the Battle Of Flowers.
He left his place to see
the parade and when he re-
turned he discovered that someone
had put some arsenic in his water.
He also says that last November a
colored man struck him over the
head with club, cutting his head
open, on account of his wife.
There is but little doubt that the
explosion was caused by dyna-
mite. The bomb was covered with
heavy tin or zinc, the pieces of
which are in the hands of the de-
tectives, and the bomb was proba-
bly, the size of big fire cracker.
The bomb was wrapped in a copy
of the LIGHT of February 5, and
also a Southern Pacific circular,
advertising reduced rates to the
New Orleans Mardi Gras; also
an old piece of greasy rag, resem-
bling emery cloth.
The police suspect that the stuff
exploded while being mixed near
the back of the house. 1t is also
believed that the bomb was in
tended for safe blowing purposes.

GIudness Comes

With a better understanding of the
Wv transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. It's therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur.
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then Taxa
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informede everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satlsfactlon'

Last night was a lively one for
thieves. A burglary was commit
ted in the grocery store of C. da

from the door. The till was tried
but nothing was in it. A consider
able quantity of sugar, rice, flour
and bacon was taken. The pro-
prietor has no idea who the parties
were.

APPLE SAUCE.


with the shades Of evening falling,
Crept q band OF cunning lads
Through the darkness OF an orchard
Not belonging to their dads.
There they robbed the trees whose
branches
with the choicest apples bent,
Till q bullying blouse and pockets
Made them seem Of Dutch descent.
But retreat was not SO easy.
For they felt the weight OF sin,
And narrow gap refused to
Take them with their plumber In.
SO it happened that the last one
who was climbing DER the fence,
Felt hand upon his collar
In no weak uncertain sense;
For it raised him several inches,
Shook him fercely till the GROUND
Was well carpeted with apples
That had fallen all around.
And an angry voice dem .nded,
With the shaking under way
"Where do all those apples come from!
Have you anything to say?'
Aud the boy though teeth were ohattering,
And he quiyering like The leaves,
Manag ed to exclaIm in wonder,
"Must have had 'em up yer sleeves"
