AN INTERESTING HISTORY.
Story Told By the Now Filled Pages of the
San Antonio Club Register

San Antonio Club Register.
The San Antonio club has found
it necessary to place a new register
in its rooms, in which to register
the names of its visitors, the old
one having been completely filled
with names from cover to cover.
The old register did service from
March II, 1882, to May 10, 1896.
During this period, some OF the
worlds distinguished men have
visited San Antonio and most OF
them have been the honored guests
of the San Antonio club. Among
the autographs of monumental
personsges that are inscribed in
the book are those OF w. Il. Sher-
man, the first name on the book (;
Richard Harding Davis, U. s.
Grant, Edwin Booth, Lawrence
Barrett, Adelina Patti, Ignace Pad
erewsky, Emma Abbott, Warner
Miller, Jas. Wadsworth, Senator
Vest, Senator Coleman, Frank r.
Grace, of New York, Hon. g. N.
Plunkett, Of Dublin, Ireland, and
those of a host of other prominent
men Of national and state reputa-
tions. Probably no club in the
south or west can boast Of having
entertained suoh illustrious Wis
itors.
The club was organized in 1881
with the following officers: E. D..
Wickes, president; Frank Z. Hord,
vice president; and G. X. Brene-
man, secretary and treasurer. For
six years it was domiciled in the
old postoffice building, whence the
rooms, on January LIST, 1888, were
removed to the present quarters.
The entire property of the club,
including the theatrical and club
appurtensnces, is conservatively
estimated at the value Of $3.50, 900.
The equipment is not surpassed
by that of any club west Of Chi
cago, and, as a whole, with the ex-
ception of extent, the club Is infer
ior in no respect to any In the
country. The rooms are all that
could be desired as far as comfort
and convenience are concerned,
and the library, while containing
nothing that the antiquary would
prize, is filled with the cream Of
the worlds literature.
The apartments have a greater
area than that of any club west Of
Chicago with the exception of the
Bohemian club of San Francisco,
while the membership of 200
resident members, and over
200 nonresident members, is
above the average. The institu-
ton is credit to San Antonio and
the state of Texas. The following
are the present officers: j. j.
Stevens, president; @. @. Cresson,
secretary; Joe NJ. George, George
Eichlitz and II. d. Kampmann,
house committee.
There are many rare and curl
Gus things in the way of pledges
and swearing off entered in the old
register, which cannot be divulged
here. The reader is unfortunate il
he has not had an opportunity to
read them.

Turner's Children Ball.

The children's ball of the Turn

was attended by about $50 little
ones. After about three hours OF
enjoyment they left for their
homes, and the adults took the
floor at Ii o'clock and danced until
the early morning hours. The in
clement weather had the effect OF
frightening some of the people
away, but the majority remained
and had an enjoyable time.

The child beater is a brute.
Mckinley seems to have a cinch
on the presidency.
Whipping in our public schools

"Cooney" convention this time.
The Christian Endeavor people
and the Baptists will meet in this
city next month. San Antonio
will make them welcome.
Sam Jones is the next infliction
promised. Sam makes business
for the street cars and as q conse-
quence the street car companies
engage him.
If any man not called q minister
of the gospel would be guilty OF
the blackguardism OF Sam Jones
the people would be in favor of
mobbing him.
Mr.. Henry Boerner will leave

baseball on Sunday. The old
