HIS CHILDREN SAVED HIM.
A Postmaster to be Retained Because
He Has Lots of EN-.


Washington, D. c., Nov. 13.-Post-
master E. T. Page, of Red Water, Tex,
is to be retained by this administration
and all because of the birth of quad
ruples and twins in his family. Elev-
en- years ago he was given postoffice,
but during the Wanamaker admins
tration an effort was made to replace
him with candidate of the Republic
can party. Many applications had
been filed but Page appealed for reten-
ton, citing that his wife had just pre-
scented him with bouncing quadruples
and that twice before twins had been
born to them. This settled the case
at that time and he remained. The
case now comes up again and num-
Der of candidates have sought the
place, but Page again protested that
the successful raising of three Of the
quadruplets and two sets of twins en-
titles him to some consideration and
has sent photographs Of the three sur
viving bankruptcies now almost young
ladies. Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow and Postmaster General Gary,
after a conference, decided that there
should be no change in the office.

SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.

Wnat the feOple are odylHS'
In the Express of November 18th we
we find among the personals that Ed.
H. r. Green, travelling in his private
car, Lone Star, No. $685." arrived in
San hntonio at 1890 o'clock last night
over the International and Great
Northern railway. The railroad mag
nate and Republican leader was taken
in charge at the depot by his fellow Re-
publican, Charles Ogden, and will be
the guest of the latter while in the
city.
In the Republican city of San An
tonic Mr.. Green should be at home.
Here he should meet hundreds of bust
ness men who are Republicans, here he
would realize the fact that the Repub-
lican party is respectable.
Mr.. Green has visited San Antonio
several times, but has never become
acquainted with it's people.
Mr.. Green is a railroad magnate and
also claims to be the chairman of the
Republican state executive committee,
yet he has never become acquainted
with the Republicans of the Alamo
City.
The city of San Antonio is a COM
munity that holds the key of the Re
publican party of the state. Mr. Green,
it seems, does not know but one indi-
vidual in this great Republican city.
Mr.. Green aspires to be the head of
the Republican party of Texas; he ar
rives in the city of San Antonio and is
met by one of its $4,000 population.
Mr. Green, if you aspire to leader
ship you should acquaint yourself with
the Republicans of the city of San An
tonic.

BOWLING.
The Athletics Defeat the Missions-The
Ladies' League.

The most interesting contest was the
first game of the Athletic-Mission Sc
ries at Mission garden last night.
With the game half over and the Ath-
letics in the lead by 50 pins, the Mis-
sions pulled together and made the
finish most exciting one. The Ath-
letics were completely unstrung by their
adversaries sudden and unexpected
rally. 1T was really marvellous how
the Missions went at their opponents
after the game was hopelessly lost.
The final score shows that the Athlet-
les won the game by only five pins, af-
ter having an excellent lead for three
innings. The second game was won
by the Missions by "A pins The Ath-
letics failed to win single inning.
The best they could do was to tie the
score in the third inning.
Following are the scores:

Forty million dollars of Belgian money
