THE CONCERT.

The concert on Main plaza last night
drew a very large crowd. The pro-
gram as published in yesterdays Light
was rendered and everyone was well
pleased. The crowd did not have as
much room to loll around as on Ala
mo plaza as there is not as much grass
and more tender flower beds.
Several parties have suggested to
the Light that it would have been a
more feasible plan to have the Alamo
plaza concerts on Sunday nights, as
they were for the past two weeks, as
the crowds attending would be a
more select and fashionable one and
one that would be of more benefit to
the surrounding refreshment resorts
as more money would be spent with
them.

ARMY NEWS.

The woodwork of the officers resi-
dences around the upper. post is being
painted.
1t is rumored about the post that the
headquarters of the Fifth cavalry will
be moved from here to jefferson Bar
racks, near st. Louis, shortly. This
will take the staff and the band away
from here, but in return we will re-
ceive the Sixth infantry banl instead,
so it is said, that organization being
brought here from Fort Thomas, KY,
and the troops of the Eighteenth in
fantry, now stationed here being sent
to that place. That will then make
| this station the headquarters of the
Sixth infantry, that staff occupying
the quarters of the present cavalry
staff. In this case Post Sam Houston
will be in command of an infantry
colonel. 1t is to be hoped that the
change is not made as the people of
| this city have become attached to the
present staff stationed here as well as
well as the band, which is one of the
finest in the army. The cavalry is also
very much more imposing and attract
i've than the infantry.
The foundation of the bachelors Of
ficers' quarters is being repaired, the
building having begun to settle.
The board appointed to prepare the
manuel of drill for tent pitching is still
in session at the post. The members
watch the companies very interestedly
every morning while they are at this
duty.
TAI Nngt n lae
pointed an inspection to condemn cav
airy horses unfit for service. These,
when condemned, will be sold at public
auction by the quartermaster.
Sergeant Major sorenson, Of the post
is in receipt of the first volume of the
report of the secretary of war for the
past year. 1t shows that the total
strength of the army at the close of
the year was 27,13S men, officers and
privates. The number of retired SOL
diers is 1,750, of which GAL are commits
stoned officers, leaving a total of LOG
retired as privates and non-commis-
stoned officers. OF the sergeant major
rank there are only six retired.
Guardmounting was made short yes
terday and today, owing to the alb
sence of the band. 1t will return Fri
day in time for the infantry dress pa
rade at p. m.
Private Reidt, of the hospital corps,
was discharged from the service of the
United States yesterday at his own re-
quest.
One of the band horses was brought
in from the target range yesterday
and shot upon recommendation of
Veterinary Surgeon Griffith.
Maj. Dutton lectures in the hop room
at the post tonight.
The soldiers have, as vet, made no
arrangements to participate in Decor

ly not participate.

BROKE THE DISHES.

J..J. Bowen, better known as Java"
a sign painter and all around utility
man who usually works around in the
west side of town, particularly in the
variety theatres, became intoxicated
yesterday morning and, entering a
chop house on Laredo street. proceed
ed to play with the dishes in manner
not at all satisfactory to the pig-tail-
ed proprietor of the place and after
he had broken several dishes the ma
tive of the Celestial empire could
stand it no longer and telephoned for
the 'plolice." Mounted officer Van
Ripper and Patrolman Diaz on whose
beat the affair occurred answered the
call and arrested Bowen.
This morning he appeared before Re-
corder Lewis charged with being drunk
and disorderly and promised to plead
guilty to the charge if the Judge Would
continue his case until Monday, re-
quest which was granted.

A change has been made in President
Heuermann's Empirical staff. John
C. Phelan, of San Antonio, and John
Nc Sorley, of st. Louis, We're appoint
ed yesterday afternoon to succeed Gus
Land and Walter Franklin, who have
resigned. Land got himself out of
job through telegram, which he sent
to the league president, saying: Send
balance of money or resign" Mr..
Heuermann did not know whether Mr..
Land requested the president to re-
sign or merely threatened his own res
ignation. However, he took it for
granted that Mr.. Land needed another
job and settled up, telegraphing in re-
ply: Your resignation accepted"
That settles Lands career as Texas
League judge of balls, strikes and bas-
es. Franklin, it is said, resigned be-
cause he couldn't suit Frank Weikart,
the Senator's manager. He wasn't
there to perform as Mr.. Weikart die
tated, and rather than take abuse,
which men, who have played ball for
years, often impose on young umpires,
he preferred to make room for some
one else. In the appointment of Phe-
Ian and McSorley, the Empirical trou-
bic ought to be over. Both are equal
ly well posted on the game as either
Clark or Brennan. Phelan has fol-
lowed the game for years and McSor-
ley is none less than the veteran third
baseman of the old st. Louis Maroons,
Trick" McSorley, whose marvellous
performances on the diamond date
back to the old, Union Association.
Phelan left last night for Fort Worth,
where he presides today, and McSor-
ley opens at Paris today.
Victory day in and day out soon be-
comes monontonous, but let a team
lose a few games in succession, and
there's a howl from Rootersville to
make the scoreboards tremble. The
Bronchos changed diamonds yesterday
3" ing from Sherman to Denison. They
played in the latter city and lost the
game to the Tigers on errors. Slow
Lazy Awkward McGinis was on the
slab for the Tigers, and like In San An
tonic, that chap made trouble for
O'Connor's men. This is the slowest
pitcher in the league and he always
carries a piece of ice on his head
couldn't rattle him with German
band on the coaching lines-"slower
than a pail bearer" as a local rooter
compares him. But 1t Is this kind Of
work that beat the Bronchos. Our
boys are used to hitting fast, lively
pitchers. In the field the Bronchos
did not play their usual snappy game.
They got six errors, and were all cost
~.
The schedule for May 20. 81, %, is as
follows: San Antonio at Paris, Austin
at Denison, Galveston at Fort Worth,
Houston at Dallas.

Angling for Tarpon.
1t has been rumored for the past
two days that Senator Mark Hanna
was in the state and was enjoying
himself with State Republican Chair

lieved.

"Rockport, Texas, May 20.-Special.-
Senator Mark Hanna is here fishing
for tarpon in the gulf. He is accom-
panied by party of prominent rail-
road officials and politicians, including
State Republican Chairman E. H. r.
