Mr.. Simon Fest, ST., Yet Young at
Seventy-One.
Yesterday was the seventy-first ma
tai anniversary of Mr.. Simon Fest,
ST., and he celebrated the event at his
home on Sinton street.
Last night there was a social gather
ing at his residence, of the many inti-
mate friends of the genial old
gentlemen, and mirth and good will
reigned. Refreshments were served in
plenty and were served freely.
During yesterday the may warm
friends of Mr.. Fest called and paid
their compliments and extended their
congratulations.
Mr.. Fest is one of San Antonio's old
est inhabitants. He came here fifty
one years ago and has resided here ever
since, making one of her foremost and
respected citizens, always being ready
to do his part in any enterprise for
the city's welfare.
The large number of citizens who
knew the genial old gentleman when he
first located here say that he does not
appear year older now than when he
first settled here, so remarkably has he
held his youthful appearance.
Mr.. Fest has children and grand
children who residede in this city also,
all his sons being like their respected
father substantial citizens and bust
ness men.

pREJUp1cE AGAINTs BANKERS.

Bankers sometimes wonder at GER
tain prejudice against men OF their
profession that seems to exist in the
popular mind. This condition is in
deed unreasonable, for the relation be-
tween the banker and the community
in which he lives should be one of mu-
tual trust and confidence. But is the
prejudice that exists due entirely to
ignorance upon the part of those who
entertain the feeling? Are the bank
ers in no wise responsible for 1t
Nothing so excites general resent
ment against a class as for representa-
tives of that class to oppose progress
i've movements of great Importance 70
the general welfare because they fear
a comparatively trifiing injury to
themselves. The demand for postal
savings banks is very general among
the people, and their establishment
would be of very great value to the
country. Yet because these banks
might interfere a very little with the
business of private bankers the small
country bankers of Illinois, who DOM
mated the convention at Peoria, refus-
ed to give their Endorsement to the
idea. The reason for this opposition
was not concealed. The enemies of
postal savings banks openly said that
they did not want the government to
interfere in any manner with the prl-
Ndte DuSlHeSS VI TeCSlNllS uCpOoilS IA
which they were engaged. Some pro-
test, too, that the government savings
banks would tend in the direction of
socialism, but ii is noticeable that this
reason for opposition is given chiefly
by those who do not want any one 10
interfere with their business of receiv-
ing deposits. To a considerable eX-
tent the large bankers are favorable
to postal savings banks, despite the fact
that they have even more interest in
opposing socialism than have the little
fellows.
This opposition to postal savings
banks on the part of many OF the small
bankers is narrow and bigoted. The
interference with private banking
be comparatively inconsequential. Yet
because of this small interference some
of the bankers would prevent the es-
tablishment of the system which would
mean so much to thousands of the
population. If the private bankers
were able to supply the needs of small
depositors for safe places of deposit
the matter would be different. But
they are not. The postal banks would
afford saving accommodations tc
thousands whose needs private insti-
buttons would never supply. Is II
any wonder that working men and
other persons of small means feel a
prejudice against bankers when they
see the establishment of an institution
in which they are greatly interested
opposed on narrow and selfish grounds
by the members of the bankers con-
vention? Men holding the positions
of bankers in the community ought to
take a broader view of things.-Chi-
cago Record.

A FALSE PROPHET IN LITERA
TURE

A writer of fiction who puts all his
characters in antagonism to beauty
and progress, who belittles his fellow
man in the eyes of the reader, who
puts hopelessness into his little world
instead of a reasonable ambition-is
not going to give you any particular
pleasure in your leisure hours, or any
consolation in the realities of every
day existence This does not mean
that the best novel is one from which
the disagreeable facts of life are ban
ished, and only the sweets served as a
CONNECTION at a feast. 1t is the atti-
tude OF mind toward the bitter and the
sweet, the evil and the good, the thing
foreseen and the accidental, that
makes novel uplifting or depressing.

photograph the crowds and scenes
around the bulletin boards on election

now can only be generalized by the
rapid pen of the artist. No one who

MAKE AN EGG REVEAL ITS AGE.

To ascertain the freshness of an egg,
without breaking it, hold it before a
strong light and look directly through
the shell. If the yoke appears round
and the white surrounding it clear, the
chances are the that the egg is fresh.
Or you may drop it into water; If the
egg sinks quickly and remains at the
bottom it is in all probability fresh,
but if it stands on end it is doubtful,
and quite bad if it floats. The shell
of a fresh egg looks dull, while that
of a stale one is glossy.-Mrs. S. T.

y recent dispatch from Mexico con.
veys the information that Mexico is
about to take what are considered the
first steps toward a gold basis. 1t is
said that the recent great fall in the
price of silver has been Il wonderful and
costly object lesson to Mexico and other
nations using silver as the standard of
value.
Mexico produces considerable gold,
but it goes to other countries where it
is more appreciated. Mexico now pro-
poses to put an export duty on gold. 1t
is argued that this will keep her gold
at home and make it easy for her to
adopna gold standard in few years. 1t
is also proposed to exempt gold miners
from every form of federal, state and
municipal taxation" These taxes are
said to be so onerous as to practically
prohibit foreign capital from investing
in gold mining in Mexico.
Another dispatch says that sit is un-
derstood that the next step will be the
depositing of gold in the federal treas
ury. the government to pay therefor in
silver dollars at the current rate of ex-
change on the day the deposit is made"
1t is argued that this plan would ac-
cumulate a gold fund from which in
terest payments would be met and
would also make it easy to change the
basis. 1t is also stated that MeXicos
cabinet proposes to bring about the
gradual adoption of the gold standard

Saturday morning two young men
from town started for the woods to
hunt, and when they got as far as the
Children's Home they could not resist
the temptation to lay low squirrel
they spied in the yard. After the
deed they made off in haste, but not
too quickly for Superintendent Jordan,
who got up with them, stopped them
and gave them a good turning over,
which he was in a mood to do to a
queens taste. The young men apollo
gized, and made amends the best they
could. The occurrence was a most
provoking one, as the squirrel was one
of mum ber that were tame as kittens,
and lent much to the appearance and
enjoyment of the grounds.

Him.
A typical farmer frcm the interior,
who had evidently come to the city to
spend some of the proceeds of one dol
lar wheat, walked cautiously into one
of the bettcr-class hotels, says the De-
troit Free Press. One of the bell boys
saw him weighted down with satchel
and coat and umbrella and, as was his
custom, dnrted toward the door to take
tho visitors burdens and pilot him to
the clerks desk. He reached down u
grasp the satchel. Quick as a flash the
old mans right arm shot out with his
umbrella and just as Mr.. Bell Boy took
hold of the satchel the umbrella came
down on his back with whack.
Take that, young fellow!" remarked
the visitor. You can't grab things
away from me. I've heerd NV how yew
fcllers work it. Grab a hand bag an
skip afore a man has a chance, tew wink

The old man raised his umbrella again
threatcningly and the bell boy, much
tliscomfitcd, slid toward his seat, Hhile
the farmer once more cautiously ad-
vanced to the desk. The clerk reached
out warmly TO grasp his prospective
guests hand. But it didn't grasp.

HANNA, SULLIVAN, DANFoR0.
Three Speakers at the Big Republican
Meeting wednesday Night.

| httthik Ntu'N0N"s @fS''N'
The frst meeting of the Republican
campaign in Washington county, ad'
vertised for the Marietta City Park
Wednesday evening at seven o'clock,
will undoubtedly be rouser and If the
weather is favorable the attendance
will be very large. On the program
for speeches are Senator Hanna, Hon.
Lorenzo Danford and Hon. j. j. Sulli-
van. The Marietta band has been en-
gagged to furnish music for the occas-
! ion. Comfortable seats will be provid-
ed in the Park for the audience and
arrangements are being made for a
number of arc lights.
| Republicans generally are showing
great interest in the meeting and each
should constitute himself a committee
of one to see that his friends attend.
The presence of Senator Hanna will
add much to the meeting, as the Mari
eta and Washington county public is
anxious to see the man against whom
John r. Mclean and the Democratic
party OF Ohio are waging one of the
dirtiest, most yillainous and most ma
lignant campaigns ever known in the
state. 1t requires but one visit of Mr..
Hanna to any city to show the people
what he is in reality-one of the big
gest and brainiest men ia the country,
essentially commoner, and in full and
sincere sympathy with the common
people and the masses,
In Danford and Sullivan the local
committee has secured two speakers
who are known the state over for their
oratorical abilities and entertaining
versatility. Even Democrats speak of
them with respect and their addresses
on Wednesday night will be full, fair
and honest expositions of the Issues of
the campaign.
Should the weather prove unfavor-
able for an outdoor meeting the
Electric Power Hall will be utilized
and arrangements made for seating
rs large part of the audience as its
capacity will permit.
