A JOINT BIRTHDAY SURPRISE.

A merry gathering of young folks
assembled at the residence of Miss
Mary Smasal on North street last
evening and with an orchestra at the
head proceeded to the home of Miss
Bertha Gueldner on Matagorda street
and rendered her and Mr.. Oscar Ma
gel a most delightful birthday sur
prise. After the first strains of mu-
sic were pealed, Miss Bertha in her
usual happy way appeared on the front
gallery and greeted the crowd with
cheers, gave them a hearty welcome
and asked them to step in and take
possession of the house. The invita-
ton was thankfully accepted, but it
was soon noticeable, that the large
house was too small to carry this
throng of pleasure seekers. Prepaa-
lions had already been made by the
committee in charge to move to st.
Albert's hall and there finish up the
nights program, which was to consist
of dancing and social amusement in
general A bountiful supply of
lunch and beer was also passed around
by the ladies during the evening and 1t
was 8 o'clock in the morning before
the jolly party dispersed to their re-
spective homes, wishing Miss Bertha
Gueldner and Mr.. Nagel many more
returns of this happy day.
Miss Della Halamuda and Miss
Mary Smasal, the originators of the
party, deserve great praise in the eff

ed their duties, as everyone present
enjoyed themselves to their hearts
content.

A joke on orro KoEHLER.

He Invited Them To Try His Beer And
They All Took Whiskey.
There was a merry party at the Ho-
tel del Jardin last night discussing the
projected brewery for the city. Beer
was naturally the subject of conversa-
ton and many good story was told
in connection with the gambrinian
fluid. One of the party said: Local
breweries are not only good but prac-
teal if efforts are made in the right
direction and there is no reason why
the City of Mexico should not produce
as good a beer as any other city.
Some time ago, when 1 was in San An
tonic, Texas, San Antonio depended en-
tirely on Anheuser and Lemp, of ST.
Louis, and Best, of Milwaukee, for her
supply of beer, which was considera-
BILE, there being many Germans there.
Belohradsky then struck the city and
started the City Brewery, producing a
good beer Then the late Major
Kampmann started the Lone Star
brewery. An expert brewery man,
Otto Koehler, was brought from ST.
Louis, and was made manager. After
he had monopolized the trade of the
city he began establishing agencies in
outside Texas towns and among other
accompanied by few kegs of beer
on ice that he intended to put in the
hotel bar and other leading saloons so
that the people could sample the beer
He got around the hotel and circulated
among the crowd telling of the ex-
cellence of the beer. Many professed
to think that no other city could pro-
duce good beer except st. Louis or Mil
waukee. Koehler protested and said
that he had his beer in the bar and
would prove that it was as good and
pure as the st. Louis beer but, he added
Let US go and take something" in
tending to lead the crowd to his free
beer keg. There were about thirty in
the crowd and they all filed into the
bar. Then he courteously said, well
boys what will you have? give your or
ders," imagining that he had excited
their curiosity and all would want to
try his beer. But OH how he wilted
when he saw that every man called for
"whiskey straight with settler on the
side!' Koehler, however was plucky
and established a profitable agency
Antonio practically killed the foreign
brewery trade, and it was only re-
gained when Mr.. Busch, of the An
heuser-Busch brewery bought the con-
trolling interest in them and now the
beer is made in San Antonio on the An
heuser-Busch plan and is making mon

therefore, unalterably opposed to ali

We believe that the federal govern

the repeal Of all laws authorizing the
