visitors were flocking, one man was
hawking souvenir albums and histories OF
the Alamo, In loud voice. Another, just
as heartily, was extolling his gold souve-
mir spoons, while inside two little boys
aided the janitor in selling Alamo souve-
Mrs, while the visitors filled every room
and Strolled over the building at will.
Epworth Leaguers should be careful Of
pickpockets and professional crooks, some
OF whom have followed the conference
and appear in the guise OF beggars.
The rooms committee say they have
over 500 rooms on their list where they
can assign those visitors who are willing
to pay the rates; and the rates, In ma
jOrity of instances, are far below the
average. 1t is those who wish accommo-
dations gratis who are having difficulty
in being housed.
The committee has engaged the big
vacant store in the Howard building, 125
Soledad street, for temporary lodgings and
will put therein 200 cots for the visitors.
Members of the choir took rest this
morning and strolled about the city while
the business session was in progress.

good part of the morning sketching scenes
on Alamo plaza.
There are several camera fiends among
them with their kodaks.

KENTUCKY REPUBLICANS.
The Convention Promises to Develop an
Interesting Political Fight.

The Convention Promises to Develop an
Interesting Political Fight.
Louisville, KY, April 15.-The
gathering at the Auditorium this
afternoon is expected to furnish
abundant entertainment for 1900
or more republicans from all parts
Of the state, who will be upon the
floor Of the convention.
1t is doubtful il such a degree of
interest ever arose in any gather
ing OF similar character in the
Bourbon state. The lines between
factions are clearly drawn.
The influx Of delegates from the
country districts began in earnest
this morning. DR.. w. G.. Hunter,
one Of the most active anti-Brsd-
ley leaders, got in this morning
from Bowling Green, where he yes
terday succeeded in having two
Mckinley delegates sent to st.
Louis from this district. He and
Mayor Todd and their followers
were busy preparing for the
fight on the floor Of the convention
when the state central committee
announces the Bradley slate for
temporary organization. This will
recommend Judge q. T. Morrow,
the governors brother-in-law, for
temporary chairman. The anti
Bradley element will nominate
George Denny, Jr., for chairman.

Gored By a Bull.

John Cannon was gored by
Jersey bull last evening about 6
o'clock. He was trying to put a
rope around the bull on the ranch
OF his nephew, Andy Hogan, about
three miles west OF the city, when
he was hooked under the ribs of
his left side. He was torn open
up to the chest. DR.. O'Malely was
sent for and sewed up the wound.
Although painful, the injuries are
not considered fatal. The bull has
always been very gentle and some
times woman would handle him.

A Word to Our Citizens. /"

To the DAILY LIGHT.
We have a large assembly of people
from all over Texas upon US today, at
tending the Epworth league. In coming
down the street this morning, | overheard
a conversation Of a representative citizen
from abroad; he said: | am forcibly
struck with the difference in the treat
ment accorded us here and at Houston.
On one occasion there the homes of the
most wealthy were thrown open to us
and we were treated with all the hospi-
tally characteristic OF our southern peo-
Pile, while here not only hundreds were
refused admittance at the places assigned
them, but at midnight hundreds were
roaming the street, satchels In hand,
looking for place to sleep" While per.
haps IL was unthoughted in so many
thousands rushing In upon us without
notice, yet are the people of San An
tonic going to prove themselves unequal
TO the emergency.
We cannot afford to allow one blot upon
our reputation for hospitality so Justly
earned, and nothing can save 1t but the
cordial opening OF every door in this city
TO this vast assembly and extending them
the courtesy due them. We fully realize
that there is an element of wealth and
mushroom aristocracy In our midst who
wouldn't turn on their heels to entertain
anyone save through mercenary motive
whose mad endeavor for wealth has dead
ened every noble impulse, every social
generous feeling, until today they would
spurn the blood Of their own loins il there
wasn't dollar in 1t. But we have onl,
to awaken the better element Of our peo
pie to sense of the situation for our visi
tors to see that we intended them M
slight.
One moments reflection tells US tn
hotels cannot accommodate this crowd
While they are all willing to pay thei
way, yet many Of them are poor peopl
from the country, whose shoes parhsp
we are not worthy to unlatch-who di
not come prepared TO pay from two I
four rdollars a day for accommodations
Feeling, Mr.. Editor, that the attention O
our good people to the condition of on
visitors is all that is necessary to max
them go into the high ways and extend t
our guests the hospitality Of our home!
i am, yours respectfully,
CITIZEN.

Until late last night the League head.
quarters were besieged with applicants
for lodging and for boarding houses. A
great many were sent out to addresses
that had been sent In TO the committee,
only to learn that Others had been sent
there before them and had secured the
lodgings. The house to house canvass
made by the committee seems TO have
been useless or the lists to have become
lost or mislaid. Several residences where
parties Of 4, 6, and s were to be sent
by the committee did not see any
leaguers yesterday or last night,
though preparations for their &C
commodation had been made. One

mittee did not send them. A number OF
such instances are reported, and all the

PENGUIN BABIES QUEER.
They Cause Their Parents No End OF
Trouble.

From Young Idea: You will notice
that the penguin baby is very fat aHl
looks as though he might be extremely
T0od for eating. but if you could see
father and mother penguin just now
you would ind them UnCommOnly thln.
The care OF the baby has so worn upon
their minds and the trouble Of finding
enough fish for three to eat, that all
supernuous flesh for the time has van
ished. Baby penguin has a curious
nest. The mother tucks the lSg away
softly and safely among i r warm
feathers and even moves sid yly and
with great gravity over the cliffs, carry
ing the egg, while father penguin goes
fishing. Mother penguin looks as tat
during this time as the baby does now,
but when the egg is hat2hed she goes
fishing, too, and soon grows as thin as
father penguin himself You notice the
, fuany little wings just beginning to
start on baby's shoulders. Well, mother
and father penguin have longer ones,
but they are still more like fins than
wings. Nearly all the time is spent in
the water and fins are more useful to
them than wings; when on land these
! little half wings are used as legs, and
! the birds are often mistaken for quad
! rupedS as they run over the ground.
They do not seem to be troubled with
/ Insomnia When asleep they can be
| kicked several feet and never even
wake up. There is variety called the
jackass penguin, from its habit of
/ throwing back its head and making a
loud. strange noise that sounds like
the braying of that animal. The king
penguins have regular towns, where
every inch Of ground is measured oil
in squares for nests. The young birds
are arranged in a certain locality, the
Noting birds in another, and the clean
birds quite apart from all these. Sc
strictly are they all divided that if 6
moulting bird should accidentally stray
near the clean birds it would be In
stantly put out. In the Falkland is
lands and in Patagonia these bird:
abound. They are also very numerou:
in certain islands of the southern Pa
ciic ocean. On some Of them 10000 OF
10000 are constantly landing or golnt
to sea.

She Lcft.

She was very pretty and very we'll
dressed. When she boarded the train
at 14th street she began to make in
uuiries of 1he guard. q gray-halred
old gentleman on the opposite side or
the car courteousls begged leave to
tell her where to go. A young man
next to him begged his leave to differ
and to suggest that the lady had better
esllow another route. A laboring man
corrected him and there was@a lively
scuabble by the time the train reached
Sth street. The lady had blushed and
begged pardon through it all, but the
men had each contended that his was
the only proper method OF reaching the
point. The train rolled out of 9Th
street and the old gentleman re-
marked pcmpously, with a wave of his
hand:
~ assure you, madam"
And at his sudden pause all the men
turned to look and found that the lady
had fed at Sth street.-New York

Initiate the Boys.


The young women students at Law
renee university. Appleton, Wis, have
decided to wear a uniform dress. They
were stirred to the decision, it is said,
by the smart appearance of the young
men in the military school connected
with the university, who recently
donned new uniforms Of gray and black.
The girls first proposed to wear uni
form of the same color as that worn by
the boys, but finally decided on navy
blue. They are to wear blue blouses
laced up in front with black and skirts
of blue trimmed with black. In the
gymnasium blue boomers will be SUBJ
stituted for the skirts.
