LIGHT Special.

LIGHT Special.
WACO, Texas, March I4.-The
friends of Mrs. r. B. PARROT are
congratulating themselves on the
prospect OF her speedy recovery
now, as she is so far restored to
health as to sit up.
Adjutant General Smith, OF the
Salvation army, made a flying trip
to the city this week to inspect the
company here. He reports all in
excellent condition.
The steam engineers OF this city
effected an organization this week,
with about twenty-five engineers
enrolled as members. Their OBJ
ject is educational as well as self
protection.
l.. l.. Malone, the champion pool
player Of the country, has been as
tonishing the lovers OF the cue
with his brilliant fancy shots here
this week. He duplicates some Of
the most difficult shots that are
made by Schaffer and others of the
crack professionals.
Mrs. Alice Goodwin was in the
city middle OF the week, interest
ing the humane in her project for
a home for Texas waits. She met
with good success and has 60 sub
scribers to the funds as the result
OF her work here.
Judge Goodrich in a recent de-
Ci-ion here holds that there is no
such thing as homestead right
until there is home, and that inn
plies house upon the home lot.
The total registration of voters
for the first week that the books
were opened aggregated an even
400. This indicates a heavier
registration than last election.
The coIored citizens are taking
considerable interest in the city
election. At the last meeting Rev.
f. Ford presided and the speeches
that were made by young colored
men showed very creditable &C.
qusintance with city affairs.
E. Il. Hathaway, the Waters
Pierce agent, seems to be taking
his life in Jail quite philosophic-
ally. He is having numerous wish
tors to while away his time, and the
company in whose interests he is
doing time in jail, is seeing that he
wants for nothing.

The Meeting a Big Success,
lie San Antonio Daily LIGHT:

To the San Antonio Daily LIGHT:
We are grateful for the potential influ-
enCe of your valuable paper, on the side
Of Righteousness. which lends impetus TO
the efforts put forth in this protracted
meeting. Your many readers are pleased
to see from the columns of the LIGHT,
what is going on, among the cOlUred
churches as well.
The protracted meeting at st. Paul M.
E. church, continues with increased in
terest. 1t has reached such grotesQue
proportions, that 1t will take as much
skill to close it, at this stage, as 1t re-
Qured to beginit. We are reaching some
OF the most useful people of old and
young, in the community.
The orderly conduct of the great mas
SEES of our citizens, in attendance every
evening is remarkably good. We feel
under many obligations to the LIGHT, for
its kind notices, and mention of our be-
loved w. H. Mosby, of Manor, who
rendered able assistance to awaken such
lively interest in the meeting. We are
grateful to our city pastors for their
timely and efficient aid. Results to date:
thirty zone conversions and many relieved
Yours truly,
