LyCeU|n Assured.
Final Decision Arrived At Last
Nights Meeting.
Splendid Seasons Attractions List
ed For The Student, Artist
Musician And Scientist.

The San Antonio Lyceum association
is now a factor in the educational and
amusement world. Last night at the
Y. NJ. c. A. hall the final organization
was contaminated with $40 members,
as nearly as could be ascertained.
Several ladies who have lists neglected
TO return them last night and are each
requested to at once hand them in to
the secretary at the Business Mems
club.
After footing up the membership it
was decided to at once call in the sub
scription and the secretary was order
ed to notify all members to send in
their checks at once. The list of en-
tertainments cannot be positively con-
tracted for till the money is in hand.
As the lectures and musical attractions
available now have one or two dates
untaken for the season the contracts
must be made at once or the season
cannot be made nearly so satisfactory.
The secretary was instructed to tel
egraph the Southern Lyceum assocla-
ton closing contracts for the great
popular scientific lecturer, DR.. Dins-
more on Nov. 18th. HIS lecture SUD-
terranean Wonderland, or 40 miles in
Mammoth Cave" Qllustrated), is
marvel of interest.
The same instruction was given as to
Hopkinson Smith, the novelist reader
and humorist, and the Great Boston
Ideals. These attractions were closed
by wire because they have but one
date open in the entire season.
The list of attractions selected in
addition to the above were the Mozart
Symphony club, Frank Beard, the
charicaturist,J John Fox, Jr., the author
reader, Hon. Henry Watterson, Alex
ander Black with his picture plays,
the Russian traveller, Geo. Rennan and
the humorist Robert J. Burdette.
This list of attractions guarantees a
practically all star series and before
the season is over the membership OF
the Lyceum is expected TO increase by
80 per cent, so as to enable other at
fractions to be added yet this season.
The secretary was instructed to
thank the daily press for the cour-
teous services it has rendered in the
organiza ton as much of the credit of
success is due to the active interest of
the local papers.

and is doing what lies in his power to
alleviate the misery and sufferings in
this weary world.
His motives are noble and we trust
he will succeed in his efforts to help
the poor-those of whom Matthew Ar
mold wrote:
Striving blindly, achieving nothing,
And then they die.
Perish and no one asks
Who or what they have BEEN"
oliver Wendell Holmes said that he
thoroughly believed in the gospel or
cheerfulness." Most heartily do we
wish there were more people and not
only the happiest but they are also the
healthiest.
Laugh, and the world laughs with
you,
Weep, and you weep alone" is COM
paratively a true statement.
Stop grumbling and croaking. Look
for happiness and sunshine, it is your
birth right. If your dispeptic soul
can't find some good in the world, you
need praying for most earnestly.
The cheerful man inspires us by the
heartiness of his handshake.
One feels new vigor, and an exhilira-
ton of spirits that makes the day
shorter.
