RESTAURANT ROBBED.

Jas. Long, formerly cook for Homer
Edwards lunch counter and restau-
rant opposite the Southern Pacific de-
pot, left this morning ON an excur-
sion ticket toward Houston or Gal
weston. He went on pleasure and
probably for safety, and took with
him a fine SIS revolver, owned by
Mr.. Edwards brother-in-law, which
was kept under Mr.. Edwards pillow,
and the sum Of $1S in cash is also
missing from Mr.. Edwards cash
drawer. Long is said to be an Odd
Fellow and the various lodges in the
state will be advised to LOOK out for
him.
Edwards was formerly a popular
conductor on the lines of the s. A.
Street Car company.

Another lamp to be desired, seen in a
studio noted for it's fascinating col

fashioned of one of the brass milk cans

The can had been slightly beaten and

designed this unique ornament has car
ried out the oriental scheme in the

striped silk scarf of Turkey.
The fortunate possessor of two tall,
single candelabra of the Empire period
has, with the aid of pale yellow and

wife has supplied a much-desired blue
and white lamp for white dining

tall candlestick of imitation Delft and
supplying it with a white porcelain
bulb and a shade made of blue and
white Japanese crepe.
J An inexpensive and in every way sat-
isfaotory toilet lamp is easily evolved
from any one of the pretty porcelain
candlesticks picked up occasionally, at
a very small investment, in the leading

TWO GENTLE BRONCHOs.
The Buffalos Receive Good Treatment in
San Antonio.

The Bufalos Receive Good Treatment in
San Antonio.
A party of Houstonians left San
Antonio this morning with debt
of gratitude on their hands. They
are indebted to Messrs. Kleeman
and Griffin, members of the San
Antonio baseball team, for courtes-
les extended, and for making their
three days stay here so pleasant.
The Alamo City always tries to
treat visitors we'll, and has quite q
reputation in that line.
The Houston baseball team as
we'll as many other visitors from
the Bayou City, were entertained
at San Pedro park the past three
afternoons. Their entertainers
were what we sometimes refer to
as the Bronchos. AS these are
very tame and gentle bronchos,
nothing was done to offend our
guests. Messrs. Kleeman and
Griffin attended to tho wants OF
the visitors, and whenever they
needed something they consulted
these two gentlemen, who were
only too glad to attend to their
wants.
A gentleman who does business
on the wrong side, known as Tim
Nevin, was selected mixer Of
straights and curves. The way he
mixed them gave that Houston
gang the jimjams. Tim was
awfully rough and always gave
them something they didn't want.
But Messrs. Griffin and Kleeman
and even Captain Lawrence didn't
agree with Tim and thought it best
to treat the Houston visitors nice
ly, 80 that they would have a good
opinion of us.
OF course, there was a number OF
San Antonians present who didn't
like the visitors nerve bit. They
thought.that Mr.. Nevin didn't mix
'em strong enough. This Is q mis-
take. While the score shows that
Houston got twelve safeties, they
only got eleven, and of this mum.
Der four were made after chances
had been offered to retire the side.
But for these costly errors, San
Antonio would have won easy.
The locals had BALI a-going sew
eral times, while Nevin pitched q
good game.
A large attendance was present
and the seating capacity was about
all used up. Interest among the
ladies Is increasing and every day
their numbers grow larger.

NEW THINGS IN LAMPS.
How Many Familiar Bits of Bric-a-Brac
Are Utilized Nowadays.

In these days, when everything from
an ink bottle to tea caddy is utilized
for lamp foundation, with, too, 1t

really graceful novelty is not to be
overlooked. Such a one, seen recently,
was 9 lamp evolved from an Italian
wine bottle. Into the long, slender

a left jolt on the jaw. Scaldy sur
prised every one by jumping to his
feet in a second and he cleverly fought
cut the round.
Walcott had a very decided advan-
tage in the eleventh round as he
punched Scaldy continuously with both
hands on the face and body. Quinn
was wonderfully game, however, and
swung his right twice on the head
with good effect. In the next round
Walcott tried hard to put his man out
but he failed to land on the right
spot.
In the thirteenth round Walcott
Knocked Scaldy down three times with
right and left swings, but the tenacity
of the Pennsylvania was more than
WaicQtt could down and Bill fought
gamely back until the gong ended the
mixup. More than that, he came up
fresh in the fourteenth round and he
sent in a right on the head and a left
on the body. His gameness won the
sympathy of the crowd. When he
landed a hard left OH the head and a
right smash on the face, Walcott stag
gered into his corner at the call Of
time.
Walcott began the fifteenth with
three lefts on the body and Scaldy got
back with a hard left on the face
Walcott landed a right swing on the
back of the head and two lefts on the
jaw. Walcott administered a lot Of
punishment to his opponent, but Scaldy
was game and earned the plaudits Of
the sports who cheered him for his
pluck. In the sixteenth Walcott
knocked Bill down with a right smash
on the jaw. but Bill came up imme-
diately and was ready for more when
the gong sounded.
In the final round Walcott rushed
again, landing his left on the body and
his right and left on the face Quinn
was sent down three times with right
swings, but he managed to come up
gamely and in the most plucky man
ner fought back. His pluck held him
up, but his strength soon gave out and
after standing more punishment than
the ordinary man could bear, Quinn
was knocked out by left hand swing
on the jaw. The time for this round
was two minutes and fifty-e eight sec

winner. Two minutes later Quinn
walked out Of the ring and was con-
graduated by his admirers for his won

MURPHY WAS EASY.
Bested at London by Palmer, the
Lfght-Weight ChnmpiOn

LONDON, Oct. 12.-'Pediar'' Palmer,
OF England, who holds the title of
champion bantam weight of the world,
tonight defeated Johnny Murphy, of
Boston, In a twenty-round go before
the National Sporting club. The quar-
tiers of the club were taxed to their ut
most capacity tonight many fashion
able sports being among the spectators.
The opinion amongst Johnny Murphy's
friends was very general that he had
cut out tough job for himself. and
Palmer was hot favorite at the odds
of 6 to 4. When the pugilists entered
the ring it was easy to be seen that
both had paid strict attention to train
ing, and it was also plain to the ex-
perts that they were in for q long and
tedious fight
Palmer meant to take no chances.
but to win on points. At no stage OF
the twenty rounds did he attempt q
knockout. He punished the American
very little, and in fact there was very
little blood shed. Palmer however. al
ways had the fight in hand, and at no
stage was Murphy dangerous. The
major portion of the right hand blows
were delivered by Murphy, but he was
unable to get near enough to do any
damage. Palmer's right handlers were
of the lightest possible kind The af-
fair was voted very tame, the only re-
deeming features being Pa'mer's clever
ness and Murphy's gameness. There
was very little applause at the finish.
and in fact the fight had been so one
sided that it was a relief to see it end

morning that while Mr.. Watson was

National Committeeman Reed last

There has been some criticism in GER

Populist committee in the matter of
fusion, especially in the states of Col

Watson receives no recognition There
may be an effort to secure a change
in those states SO as to give Watson
representation. It is probable that Mr..

that an effort will be made to have

be made public until after the result

GREAT HARRINGTON BURNED
The Business Portion of the Town
Wiped Out.

GREAT HARRINGTON, Mass. Oct. 49,
This town was visited tonight by the great
est confagration in its history. It destroyed
the major portion of the business section
of the town. The fire started in the Ken
needy hotel and spread rapidly to adjoining
buildings. The fire department responded
promptly, but the fire had gained such head
way, and the heat was intense that they
were driven from the street and could only
fight the flames from the rear.
Aid from Housatonic, Stockbridge and Lee
reached the city before midnight, and though
the fire is still burning furiously. it was be-
Ieved to be under control. A gale blew ali
night. The loss cannot be estimated It will
be very heavy, comparatively. and most dis
astrous to the town, as the very best por-
ton of the business section has been de-
stroyed.
