ger of blood poison to the minimum.

The origin of the word sincerity"
is profoundly interesting and sugges.
tive. When Rome fiourished, when
her fame was spread the world over,
when the Tiber was lined with noble
palaces built of choicest marbles. men
Wed with each other in the construc-
ton Of their habitations.
Skillful sculptors were in request,
and immense sums of money were
paid for elaborate workmanship. The
woTkmen, however, were then guilty
OF practicing deceitful tricks. If. for
example, they accidently Clipped the
edges of the marble, or if they dis
covered some conspicuous flaw, they
would fill up the chink and supply
the deficiency by means of prepared
wax. For some time the deception
would not be discovered, but when
the weather tested the buildings the
heat or damp would disclose the wax.
AT length those who had determin
ed on the erection of mansions intro
duced binding clause into their con-
tracts to the effect that the whole
work from first to last was to be sine
cera--that is, without wax. Thus
we obtain our word sincerity" TO
be sincere is to be without any at
tempt on our part to mislead, mis-
represent, deceive, or impose on
another; to be, and appear to be, what
we are. Be sincere before the Lord
and men.

About IS years ago young man

he and his friend. William Gochenour,
of St. Luke, had a social glass to-

stopper shall not be removed until
you come back, and during all these
years the jug and its contents have
been undisturbed. Last week Copp
returned to the scere OF his earlier
years and, calling on Mr.. Gochenour,
the jug was brought from its resting
place and the cork removed by the
man, who a quarter OF century ago,
had closed the jug. Those who were
present say that man can wait for a
long time for a drink like the one
they had on that occasion.

There will be two players on the

son from one who has graduated
from Texas league ranks, and will
next season be found with the leading
club of the National league. William
b. Douglass, who played with Sher-
man in 1895 and is well known in San
Antonio. writes a most encouraging
letter to President Welton concerning
two young players Mr.. Welton has
been negotiating with. Douglass,
who will play first base for the Phila-
delphia team next season, writes as
as follows in a letter received by Mr.
Welton yesterday:
IL. NJ. Welton, Esq: Dear sir: As
you wished to hear from me in regard
to O'Donnell and Reynolds, / will
drop you few lines. In the first
place | have a warm side for the Tex
as league. and only like to see good
players go and come from there
When | recommended Hayes l did so
thinking il was in him to make good
man. l knew he was entirely too
slow, but as he never had any prac-
tice, | thought the advantage of good
practice and coaching would round
him up so he would be good man,
as he has a good arm, and used to
have excellent control when pitching
to me. When recommending 0'Don-
nell and Reynolds l am recommending
men that are active, and all they
need to make them crack players is eX-
perience. They are both bright, fine
fellows, and will soon catch ON to.
the tricks of the game. O'Donnell is
ight-handed hitterand a very accu-
rate and hard thrower, but a trifle
slow in getting ball away from him,
which by practice he will entirely
overcome. He throws all his weight on
the bat when he swings at q ball, and
il is my honest opinion he will make
not only fine catcher, but the hard
est hitter, or one OF the hardest hitting
men in the league. He is a pretty
fast man and a fine slider to bases,
and very willing man to work, as he
dearly loves to play, and you know
that is the kind of a man that makes
star. Reynolds likes to play ball
| better than any person l ever saw; is
big fellow; very active and terrific
| thrower; is a right-handed thrower,
and left-handed batter, not slug
ger, but nice line batter, hits for
singles and not home runs He covers
| lots of ground and his strong arm
enables him to get where weaker
armed man could not get. His throw
ing also allows him to play Deep and
can cover more ground by It, Now.
| [ have given YOU their deScription as
near as possible and hope it will

playing. Hoping you decide to give
/ them a trial and wishing you the best

What the People Are Saying

What the People Are Saying.
The successful working of our sewer
system begins to be matter of deep
concern with our people. Over 400
connections have been made and ii is.
discovered that the syphons across the
river do not carry of the sewerage
Mr.. Gray, the engineer, who planned
the system. provided for carrying the
sewerage under the river. instead of
straight across i'm pipes. His idea was
applicable to streams where naviga-
ton might be impeded. but was entire
ly unnecessary her where the river is
only little stream and not used for
navigation.
The city administration Is now con-
fronted with difficulty that must be
remedied. To keep the syphons clear
will require the service of several men
daily. while an ordinary pipe will do
the work Such is the Judgment of
practical men.
San Antonio will not be the only city

mistakes of prominent engineers who
have planned sewer systems: but in all
cases the advice of well known hydrau
lie engineer, has been sought, and II
might be wise to do so in tins instance.
The coming year will test the capac-
ity of our sewers as a large number of
connections will be made. The impor-
lance of a perfect working system is
not to be passed over.
Mayor Callaghan secured the legacy
of a sewer system from his predeces-
sors; upon him and his council rests the
responsibility of putting it in operation.
There are several questions that re-
quire the advice of an expert The
use of six-inch pipe for connections
may be the proper thing, but it does
look unreasonable to use such size
pipe TO connect private dwellings with
eight-inch sewer pipe.
Ii would be criminal TO spoil a sys-
tenn of sewers that have cost our peo-
pie so much money by laundering
work. If the syphOns must be correct
ed II should be done at the instance OF
the best authority.
