VACCINATION NOTICE.

Paupers only will be vaecinated
free of charge by the city, and then
only when they apply at the City hos
pital dispensary at 10 o'clock in the
morning.
All new pupils to the public schools

ten had to make our camp l mile away
from the water TO enable us TO keep
the mules in good grass close to the
wagons, where we could watch them
better while they were turned loose
during the day. When we watered the
mules, l left about three men with the
wagons and took all the rest of the
men with me to the spring for the
protection of the mules in case of an
attack from the Indians. Some eleven
cowardly Apaches tried to stampede
my animals once in this section at the
same place, but they did
not succeed, and scattered
in the hills, and although my

them any more.

Mascot Grip received a copy of the
Albuquerque Morning Democrat yes
terday, which contains an account of
a game between the Albuquerques
and the Browns last Sunday. This
part nearly tickled Grip to death:
STANLEY and fitzpatrick were in the
points for the Albuquerques and
showed the people of Albuquerque
that they know the game. Only one
hit was made off Gilpatrick, a. line
drive by McCue in the Fourth inning.
1t did not count for much, as there
was no one on the bases at the time.
Stanley got one beautiful drive for
three bases in the third, which brought
Parish in from first, while Gilpatrick
got a hit every time he came up, two
of them being two-baggers."

The date for the fall meeting of the
Texas league is near at hand, but
President Heuermann has not yet is
sued the call. 1t is likely, however,
that the meeting will be held about
the first of October in this city. The
seasons business will be wound up at
this meeting and the championship
will be awarded.
!. Did we say championship?
Well, right here is where San An
tonic is going to spiel.
Fired bodily out of the league, after
paying all dues, guarantees, salaries
and meeting all other obligations, and
willing to 90 ahead, having waItzed
away with one championship, and
about to take the other on a quick
step?
There will be a high old time when
this question is tapped, and Santone
is going to be right in the heap-not
on top, nor at the bottom, but in the
middle of the heap, pushing both
ways.

Well, we are going to have baseball
next year. Yes, that's about settled.
Some of us didn't think so about a
month ago, but our trolley got twist
ed, that's all. Things are looking
cheerful all over the state-that is
that part that will constitute the cir
cult of the Texas Baseball league, for
the rest don't concern us a little bit.
Already the fans are making inquiries
and suggestions. While it is alto
gether too early to answer questions,
a few suggestions, however, may not
be out of place at this time. An i'm
portant question that confrOnts the
Texas baseball magnates is to conduct
a season as originally designed. New
er yet has Texas league schedule
been finished without a break in the
circuit. What appears feasible plan
TO overcome this difficulty is Man
ager McClOskey's, which provides for
a season of three months, or possibly
fOur-April May, June, July. During
these months the baseball fever is red
hot and everybody goes to the bames,
but around the middle of July the
crowds begin to dwindle, and from
the box office whence came such mer-
ry jingle of various coin, the tinkling
of an occasional lonesome quarter dis
turbs the silent multitude.
No attempt will be made here to de-
scribe teh advantages of disadvantage
as TO be derived from the various
methods adopted by the Texas league
of the past, present or future.

Il wish the newspapers would I'M
derstand that the Texas association
has not disbanded, as reported" said
President Heuermann yesterday. 'The
schedule, expiring August %, was
finished, the remaining clubs being
Galveston, Waco, Fort Worth, Dallas
and Paris. All of these clubs, with
the exception of Galveston played all
their games on the schedule. The
newspapers failed to report the last
WacO-PariS games, but they were
played, and I've got the scores. There
fore you see, the Texas association
has finished the season. The reserva-
ton on the players of these clubs holds
good, provided the clubs meet their
obligations. Even San Antonio has a
claim on her players. The players
were under contract with the San An
tonic association and although this
city was dropped by the league, the
club has met all obligations and ex-
pressed a desire to continue in the
league While O'COnnOr and Weber
paid the club due and the players sal
aries, the association would have been
responsible to the league had they
faile to do so. | believe this matter
viii be brought to the attention of the
National board"

SECOND SERIES.

Manager Dermody, of Galveston,
persistently claims the championship
as well as the cup for his club. He
sets forth in his claim that Galveston
was willing to finish the season, but
had no club to play with owing to the
disarmament of the Houston team.
He also infers that San Antonio
dropped out of the league and says
that Galveston ought TO be entitled to
the first series since San Antonio and
Houston were out of the league.
But Mr.. Dermody must remember
that San Antonio was dropped out at
the last meeting against her will and
consent, and that when the time came
for voting San Antonio voted to ''stay"
and that San Antonio was voted "out"
for the 'best interests of the league"
When these facts are presented to
the national board at its next meeting
the matter may present a new phase.

THAT MYSTERIOUS "AIRsHlP."
This Time It Is Seen at Kansas City, Also at
 Everest, kan.

Everest, kan.
 KANSAS CITY, Mo-. April 2.-What-
 ever the mysterious light in the heav-
 ems that seems to be moving from the
 Pacific coast to the Atlantic is whether it is an airship or something else-it favored Kansas City with a visit last night and thousands of re- sponsible citizens saw it who could for hours talk of nothing else. It is possi-
 ble, of course, that sor.c ..actical joker
 with big kite and lantern got in an
 April fool joke. If he did he is the most successful joker who has ever done business in this vicinity. And if it was joke the joker carried it far
 enough to fool people at Everest, Kan,
 little town in Brown county, Kan sas, about 60 miles northwest of this city. Dispatches announce that the
 mysterious light appeared there short iy after nine o'clock and according to
 the correspondent "hove in sight from the southeast" Kansas City
 is southeast of Everest and the light disappeared in Kansas City
 near an hour before it was seen 60
 miles distant. The Everest correspond
 ent claims that hundreds of people
 there distinctly saw the airship. The
 car of the airship, according to his
 story, was canoe-shaped and appeared
 to be about 30 feet long. It was pro pelled by four triangular wings, two
 on either side, and above the whole
 could be discerned a black bulb, sup
 posed to be Q large gas bag.

The levee near
