ROOMS NEEDED.

EpwOrth League Visitors Not All Pleased
and the Committee Grows Anxious.
The central committee of the
Epworth League conference desires
to make known an appeal to the
citizens of San Antonio to open
their doors to the visitors. A
thorough canvass of the boarding
districts of the city has resulted in
securing accommodations for $500
persons. The number of visitors
will range, on a conservative esti-
mate, all the way from 1900 to TO-
600. These must be entertained,
if San Antonio is to be registered
on the list of great convention
cities. It is becoming more APP
parent that our city is not adapted
to holding great conventions at
this time of the year. All the
boarding houses are full OF
northern visitors, and the cosmo-
politan character of the town rem
ders about two-thirdS of its ca.
pacity unfit for the reception of the
class of persons who will attend
the coming conference. The MT.
iority of the visitors are young
ladies, and that they must be prop
erly cared for is imperative and
concerns the honor of our city.
They do not expect to be enter
tanned free Of charge. They will
pay any reasonable price. The
visitors will remain in the city
three days, and, with proper in
ducements, number will stay ovel
to the flower battle and Saengerfest
Every one who has room to let is
requested to address Mr.. Claud
McCorkle, Garcia building, corner

A Sad Case For Both.

MASON, Ohio, April 9.-Miss
Maggie Crier, the pretty organist
in the Methodist church here, who
eloped with Rev. John Shortsn,
the pastor OF the church, last
autumn, reached her home today
from Philadelphia with a young
baby in her arms. Her humble
parents welcomed her home. Her
boy baby was born on the 18th Of
last December. She says that
Shortsn's salary as a canvasser
failed to support both, and that
his employers threatened to dis
charge him il he continued to live
with her. She says he was always
kind to her and that they eloped to
escape the shame OF exposure.

was over, l was serving on the good
ship Metacomet. We had been moving
southwark into the Campeachy banks,
where red snappers abounded by the
million. The schools of these fishes
were often miles IN length, and with
hook and line we stood at the boats
side all day catching them by the hun
dred, using only large chunks of pork
for bait No sooner would the bait
strike the water than the big fish
would swallow it, only the next mo-
ment TO be landed on the deck. The
heads were cut off and the fish packed
in barrels. We filed on an average OF
thirty barrels day. The heads were
then thrown back into the water, and
this naturally drew sharks. One day
the boats'n, Billy Wilson, was told to
make big hook with which to capture
a shark. 1t was fastened to the lead
line and baited with a six-pound chunk
Of pork. Far out in the water it was
thrown for the shark to swallow, and.

shark on the deck with louder noise

propped open and the mouth was dis

He Didn't Sing.

At recent social event in the coun

very slender young man from town
who, it was easy to see, had n very good
opinion of himself A not altogether
hattering reputation, acquired by his
alleged tenor voice, had preceded him
to the back woods, and soon after his
arrival he was surrounded by bevy of
mischievous rustic maidens, who begged
him for song. Like many young sing
ers he needed much persuasion. While
the girls insisted, an old farmer, who
had been standing near by for some
time, suddenly cried out: "Sing for 'em,
young man. know you kin sing
you've got legs SO much like mawkin'
