Sunday and Monday.

Sam Ryan, who is one of the
principals in the new musical COM
edy, paradise Alley" is known
the country over as one Of the
brightest and most resourceful ar
fists on the stage. All the ideas Of
this latest play emanated from his
fertile brain. He has written more
popular songs than any other man
Of his time, too, and set them to
music. AS dancer, it is we'll
known, he has no equal on the
stage, and as light comedian he
ranks with the best. The innova-
tions he has introduced in "Para-
disc Alley" alone entitle him to
great distinction, even IL he had
never done anything meritorious
before. At the Grand opera house.

He Was Not Posted,

An agent Of a gift show which
was given at the Opera house last
night was hustled off the premises
OF one of our public schools yester-
day, on account Of distributing ad-
vertising tickets to the school
children for this show. This is
provided for by ordinance Of the
city. The man told Miss Schaefer,
one of the teachers, that he had
permission from Supt. Smith, but
when that gentleman appeared on
the scene, the man did not know
him, but still declared Mr.. Smith
had given him permit. He was
soon undeceived.

Struck It Rich,

Information comes from New
Berlin, Texas, of the rich find of a
couple of Mexican laborers, who,
though living near Comfort, en-
gagged to do some grubbing and
other digging on a farm formerly
owned by supposed wealthy lady
of New Berlin, who died recently.
Although she was considered
wealthy, not much of value was
found among her effects, and only
after the Mexicans had suddenly
thrown up their job and did not
even call for their wages, did sus.
picion arouse. The further fact that
they began changing 500 gold
pieces when they returned to
Comfort lent color to the belief
that they had found a sum of
money, and very recently it has
developed that they found some
thing over $4,000 in gold buried
on the farm.

A Kick in the Right Direction,

81 believe there is an ordinance
in this city requiring candies and
fruits that are sold on the street to
be covered up, in order to keep the
flies off," remarked Mr.. c. L. Dig
nowity to LIGHT reporter yester-
day. "This ordinance is heing vio-
lated every day, but it ought to be
enforced. Candy and fruit draw
flies, and this is a means OF con-
veying diseases, especially among
children. The city ought to attend
to this"
In some cities the practice OF
peddling fruits and candies on the
streets is strictly prohibited. This
custom is growing daily in San
Antonio, and complaints are heard
about it every day.

No Cause For Arrest,

Mounted police were called to
the corner of Labor and Victoria
streets this morning by an old col
ored man named Sam johnson,
who wanted them to protect him
from his son. He was bothering
his son, who had moved away from
his house to avoid such annoyance,
and the son had told him to go
away from his house. The old
man said "the boy" was not old
enough to order him like that, as
che was only 3d."

Weyler's Tobacco Edict Continues to Ex-
clte Dealers in That Product.
New York, May pa stir has been
created in the wholesale tobacco trade
Of the city by the order of the Spanish
authorities prohibiting the expectation
OF leaf tobacco from Cuba to the United
States. Dealers aver that the outlook
is serious, and especially so in view Of
the fact that the insurgents are likely
at any moment to destroy the Cuban
crop entirely. A movement is reported
to be on foot to introduce a bill in con .
gress III few days, unless Secretary
Olney's protest is considered, which is
TO put prohibitiye duty of ten dollars
on cigars and all manufactured tobacco
that Cuba ships to the United States,
This, it is believed, would close the fac
tories of Havana and cut off a large
part of Weyier's revenue. 1t is reported
that tobacco manufacturers in Havana
are already alarmed and have stopped
operations, some starting away to 1su-
rope and this country. This condition
of affairs has caused considerable agita-
ton here, and number of houses have
instructed their statesmen to sell only to
their best customers. a scarcity in the
best grades of tobacco is anticipated,
and several manufacturers are holding
all goods for n marked advance in
prices. The prospects for much larger
demand for domestic. stock is regarded
as excellent.

Proceedings of Third Days Session OF
Presbyterian General Assembly.
Saratoga, N. Y, May 23.-The Presby-
terrain general assembly opened its
third days session Saturday morning
with the usual service of prayer. The
theological seminary control report
has been deferred until next week. The
report on ministerial relief was the
first order of the day on the regular
docket. Rev. DR.. Cattell, secretary Of
the board of ministerial relief, made the
customary address in presenting the re-
port. The treasurer's statement for the
year shows a deficit of ,$9,673.
The report and recommendations of
the standing committee were received
and adopted.
The report of DR.. Craven, secretary
OF the board of publication and Sunday
school work, shows profit in the bust
ness department of the board for the
current year of $31, 146. This is a sum
less than last year by 1858. The de-
crease is due to the expenditure of large
sums Tor new hymnal and for new
edition OF the constitution, profits upon
which have not yet been realized. The
Sabbath school and missionary depart
ment reports q balance of S2O,167.3
being S5,794.55 less than last year.
Ordered Reconmitted.
The discussion was resumed on the
recommendation of the committee on
church temporalities, proposing a
change in the constitution placing the
titles to church property in the deacons
chosen from the membership of the
church instead of in trustees.
1t was finally ordered recommitted,
and the assembly adjourned until Mon.

A street faklr was selling spoons OF

A street fakir was selling spoons on
the street Thursday night. Table
spoons for $1.00 and tea spoons for so
cents. He had a big trade. A mer
chant who carries big stock of goods
here was in the crowd watching his
sales, informs us that he had the same
quality which he sold for 90 cents for
table spoons and IA cents for tea
spoons and he probably has not sold
as many spoons in a year as this fakir
sold in one night for the reason that
the people did not know he had them
and the prices they could get them for.
Moral: Either advertise with your
mouth or banjo or in the newspaper
Saturday Gazette.
