Hotel improvements.

Mr.. Herman Kampmann, pro-
prietor OF the Menger hotel, has a
force of about forty workmen now
engaged in thoroughly remodeling
the hotel, as contemplated in plans
drawn up early in the spring.
Instead of several small room,
several suits will be added, win
dows enlarged and French plate
glass substituted, hot and cold
baths will be put in every room,
and wide gallery will be run
along the hotel front of the plaza,
at every floor. When the altera-
tions are completed, Mr.. Kamp-
man says he will have as good a
modern tourist hotel as any place
in the south and one that San An
tonic will be proud of.
In few weeks Mr.. Kampmann
will leave for the north to order
improved machinery for the hotel,
and also to purchase new furni-
ture, etc.

The old chairman of the national
Democratic party, Harrity, has
withdrawn to the seclusions Of
private life, and in the solemn in
responsiveness Of his retirement,
looks upon the Democracy of 1892
and the Democracy of 1896, and
seriously questions their identity.
AS result of his internal recol-
lectedness he announces his with
drawal practically from politics.
Harrity is not the only one Of the
tribe OF the Democro who will
crawl into q hole this fall and
bring the hole in after them.
Cleveland would do it gladly, but
there is no hole big enough for
him.

Mark Twain has been through
that South African country, and
he announces that it is like the
ancient land of Jewish promise a
goodly one. He finds the Trans
vaal particularly country rich in
future possibilities, soil fertile and
climate salubrious and the govern
ment largely of a stern puritan
type, justice between man and
man its chief corner stone. This
is the land that Rhodes and jane
son quietly tried to steal for a
British possession, while innocent
Joe Chamberlain stood with his
back to the Johannesburg fence,
looking off into the illimitable
blue.

A careful canvass Is being made
OF the counties in New York that
are said to be most Favorable to the
free silver movement, and the result
is surprise to the investigators.
Free silver has really no percept-
able following in the counties,
where it was said to have secured
so strong a foothold. There is on
ly one free silver club in st. Law
renee county, reported the hot bed
OF free silver sentiment, and that
club only turned ont, all told, men,
women and boys, at their recent

Private letters received in this
city from wide awake business
men in New York and in New
Jersey declare that the turning
away from the Democratic party
in the east amounts to revolu-
ton. The prediction is made that
the Republican majority in New
York state Will more than double
the immense majority Of Cleve-
land when he first carried the
state for governor. These defect
ions from the ranks of the Demo-
cracy are not paraded in the pa
pers, but are based upon actual in
quiries and widely extended OBJ
servations and in wholly Demo-
cratic circles. II only the half of
what is cited is true, then the
land slide will be a veritable
avalanche.

The sound money executive COM
mittee of the national Democracy
announce that there will not be
less than thirty-f1ve of the states
represented in the conference called
at Indianapolis for Saturday OF
this week. 1t is useless to attempt
to forecast their conclusions, but
there is every reason to conclude
from the expression of opinion
that there will be new platform
announced and new nomination
made. 1t is also true that there
is some offered opposition to this
progra m and it may fail. What
ever it does it will give no comfort
to the Bryanites.

Hot Face Powder.

Mr.. S. A. Carmichael, of LAYER
mia, writes to the LIGHT, COM
planning. how he was recently
virtimized by a suburban druggist
of this city. He says he came in
and bought 80 cents worth or face
powder for his wife and when he
got home, his wife found the
druggist had sold him a lot OF
black pepper mixed with dust. He
feels mad, about 1t and his wife
has the laugh on him. He says
the next time he comes to this
city, he will give that druggist a
regulars"chile gravy" interview.

BRYAN looks first on one side o

Bryan looks first on one side Of
him and then on the other. He
sees Sewall on his nigh side and
Watson on his of, and as they
strain apart and he tries to walk
in the middle he exclaims against
the perversity Of fate, and like the
uncertain swain, he could love
either dear charmer, were to'ther
away. Bryan will have patience
until November and the people
will afford him all the relief that
he desires, sending him into
kindly Punishment to recover his
lost equilibrium.

Democratic Committeeman Hur-
ley, Of Maine, takes no stock In the
Sewell assertion that Bryan and
Sewell will carry that state. He
thinks that the declination of
Winslow, as governor on the souLd
money platform adopted before
Chicago, will help the Bryanites in
that state, but he sees no possible
hope for the Democracy this year.
He thinks, however, that the Re-
publican vote will be cut down and
that the state will not give more
than 10000 majority for Mckinley
