XMAS WINDOWS.

The time is now at hand when the
various merchants begin to vie with
each other to see who shall have The
prettiest Christmas display window.
So far only few have begun decora-
ting and among them is the one at
the Blairs' drug store which as usual
is very attractive and neatly gotten
up and promises to rival the most
beautiful.
1t is representative Of the interior
Of a room, with chimney, fireplace
and all. The fireplace is filed with
coal artistically arranged over red col
ored incandescent electric lights, which
gives it the appearance of a glowing
crate and looks natural and warm.
All other furnishings of the room
are quite as natural and give it a
homelike appearance.
A telegram pasted on the front of
the window and signed Santa Claus
imparts the information to the chill
dren that their patron saint will be
seen in this coy little room next
week.
DR.. Blair and wife always have a
nice window arranged every Christ
mas for the children, but this year
they seem to have Outdone all their
previous efforts.
A number of other merchants will
begin arranging their Xmas windows
next week.

TWO GAY SEDUCERS.
THEY ARE NOW ABIDING TIME BE-
HIND PRISON BARS.
Dick Henefy and Johannes Krug are Sher-
if OampbelPs Guests Until Bet
ter Arrangements are Made.

There now linger behind the bars of
the Bexar county Jail two individuals
who are registered as Dick Henefy
and Johannes Krug,a and opposite their
respective names appears the word
seduction"
This may sound like a romance, but
Webster says it is enticement of
wrongdOing. Henefy's troubles are
the result of an acquaintance with Ly-
dia Provincial, young German girl
who earns 4 livelihood as a waitress
in restaurant. A marriage license
was issued yesterday to r. j. Henry
and Lydia Provincial, but hat does not
alter the case, and until Henefy pays
the costs that have been summed up
against him and makes the girl his
lawfully welded wife, he will con-
tnue to linger a little while longer.
Johannes Krug first trod on San An
tonic soil yesterday afternoon,w hen
he arrived over the Southern Pacific
from Houston, accompanied by Capt.
Bill Hennessey, whowas so attached to
him that it required a key to unlock
the irons that bound them together.
Krug is a healthy looking German.
He says he is 81 years of age and a
beautiful beard adOrns his handsome
countenance. He occupied quiet
private room i'm the Hotel de Campbell
last night.
Krug is a civil engineer by profess
sion. While aboard the steamer Gre
field, en- route from Bremen to Gal
weston, short time ago he made the
acquaintance Of young German girl
named Selma Krause, who was COM
ing to the United States to visit her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Gustav Fritsch,
in San Antonio. The acquaintance
Of Krug and Selma grew warmer as
the voyage continued and when the
ship landed at the port at Galveston.
they seemed to be happy pair of
lovers. All but the marriage cere-
mony, as dictated by law, was neces-
sary to make them one, and here was
is the girls step-father, was expecting
the stumbling block, Mr.. Fritsch, who
her arrival, but was surprised by re-
ceiving a letter from lodge brother
Of Galveston, asking his consent to
the girls marriage with Krug. The
letter highly recommended Krug, and
thereupon Mr.. Fritsch in his answer
told the lodge brother to act as he
would with his own child.
In the meantime Krug's warm affec-
lions for the girl seemed to have de-
serted him. He went to Houston and
she came to San Antonio. A cores
pondence was kept up between the two
and a few days ago it was learned
that Krug intended to depart for Mex
leo. These plans, however, were frus-
traed by Krug's arrest, in
Houston, which was made on tele-
gram from Sheriff Campbell.
Krug denies that he wanted to de-
sert the girl and says that he always
intended to make her his wife and is
willing to be married to her any time.
He denies, also, that he is a married
man, as reported.

THE WHISKY TRUST.
DISTILLING ELEMENTS COME TO-
GETHER FOR PROTECTION.
Dealers Will in Future Not Antagonize
Each Other and Closer Oombina-
ton May Come.

By Special Wire to Sunday Light.
Chicago, Dec. Representatives
of the American Spirits Manufacture
ing company and distillers who are
outside the big corporation, had an
other protracted conference last
Thursday. They have not finished
gether, but an understanding on gen
eral lines has been reached on the
| main proposition submitted. Their
| meeting place and those in attendance
| are kept secret, and there is disin-
| clination on the part of anyone con-
cerned to talk definitely for publica-
| ton of the meeting.
There has been n general assent to
the proposition to bring the distilling
| interests together for mututl help by
| means of an organization similar to
the national board of trade, 1t will
have special charge of matters af-
fecting the distillers' business in a
| general way, such as hostile legisla-
ton, and any attempt which may be
made by congress to increase the tax
on whisky.
| There was considerable talk among
the distillers about the probability of
President Cleveland recommending
an additional tax on whisky as n
means to meet the deficit in the fed
eral revenue
Those present deny there is any in
tention to form close compact be-
tween the American company and in
dependent houses to pool the whole
business and fix prices. 1t is under
stood. however, that the parties to the
conference will not antagOnize each
other i'm the future and a closer COM
bination may come later.

MEXICAN COURTESY.

He is Very Kind to All Foreigners

The Lights Mexico City cores

itants of that city as follows:
There is two things about the Mex

courtesy and hospitality. This is es-
pecially true of the caballerO, but
even the ignorant peOn could teach
courtesy to either English or Ameri-
can, The Mexican may be fullsOme
and given to fiattery, but he receives
most courteously and entertains you
most heartily with that spirit found
in the old southern homesteads and
in the homes of, England, the only diff
ference being that the latter are
more reserved and rarely entertain
others than friends. / have met with
great courtesy here from the MeXicans
but i am bound to say that my Eng
lish characteristics have served me
well. Many welcome all English
speaking people alike, but there are
many others. These latter have a
prejudice against Americans = Ell
GringO-and though they may natu-
rally be Outwardly courteous they re-
gard them as mo buena." This pref.
udice is, however, dying out as il
should do for Americans, and espec-
tally Texans, should be friends fol
social and business reasons, but some
cannot forget their troubles with Tex.

A COURTHOUSE ROBBERY
A MYSTERIOUS OCCURRENCE HAS
JUST COME TO LIGHT.
A Man Was Called in to Help a Dying
Man, When he Was Seized,
Bound and Robbed.

Hundreds of evil-dOers have been
sent 'over the road" from evidence
sdduced in fair and impartial trials
in the old courthouse on Soledad
street. But since justice is being dis
pensed in the new handsome sand
stone structure on Main plaza, it
seems that the old courthouse is to
be an abiding place for such very
snes toward whom the law shows no
mercy.
1t was but q few evenings ago that
a bold, daring piece Of work was per-
petrated within the walls of this for
ner temple of justice, if what a Light
reporter learned yesterday is true.
and the information comes from what
is considered reliable SOurce-the
report that a resident of this city was
passing the Soledad street courthouse.
when someone eXcitedly ran out from
the building and told him that a man
was dying in the place, and asked
him to come in and look at him. As
the passer-by went into the court
house, which was pitch dark, he was
suddenly seized by a number of men.
Before he could let an outcry his head
was muffled and his hands and feet
were tightly bound. He was laid out
on the floor and the men went through
his pockets, taking everything of val
tie that he had. This done, they tied
him to the floor. SO that he could not
move, and left him. He could not
raise an alarm and he had to spend
the night alone in the courthouse
while the men disappeared. He did
not know any of the men, and it is be-
lieved that he could not recognize
them if he were to see them again.
More than this the reporter could
4 not learn, and it is believed that not
more than half dozen men know
anything about the occurrence. The
matter was not reported to the police
and for some unknown reason it has
been kept quiet. A Light reporter
met the gentleman yesterday who had
been informed by the man himself
who had been robbed. but he refused
to give any information to the re-
porter
