NOTES.
The musicale in the parlors of the Bex-
ar last night, by the Sherman Female
quartet, was largely attended.
The leaguers all praised the street car

crowds were taken to and from the

information about the CITY
Custodian Hice, at the San Pedro park,
sold about a barrel of ice cream per day,
and several barrels Of lemonade and soda
pop.
The railroads representatives will con-
tinue to answerQuestionS, extend tickets
and sell excursion tickets at the Epworth

forehand ?" No" they said. you had
better, for they are said to be all
thieves" The cabby heard this and
promptly climbed off his box and Sulli-
vanized his calumniator.
