RACES TODAY.

There will be high class racing this
afternoon on the Jockey Club grounds
and those of our citizens who have
not attended the races should do so
today by all means in order to make
the midwinter meeting success.
Those who were disappointed on
Thursday last, by having the races
postponed, should not fail to attend.
The racing card will be the same, ex-
cept there may possibly be another
race added.
The management has gone to a hea-
Wv expense in bringing all the horses
here and so far have had losing
game. This should not be, for San An
tonic certainly has enough citizens
who favor racing to make the races a
success from every point of view. 1t
will do the city no good to have the
word go abroad that it refused TO pat
ronize the only really high class race
meet ever held here. Within the past
week over so new race horses have
reached the track and from now to
the close of the meeting the racing
will be even better than it has already
been-and that is saying a good deal.
The card for today will be the same
as for last Thursday.

SENSIBLE ADVICE TO PIANO
BUYERS.

Commission Agents, Consignment
Dealers and Piano ''peddlers," who are
utter strangers, should be compelled
to show their original factory bills of
lading of the Pianos and Organs they
offer for sale. If contemplating pur-
chasers of Pianos and Organs, will in
sist on this they will be saved a lot of
money. Manufacturers who consign
pianos, ship them first to one town
and to one agent, and then to anoth-
err. We have known pianos to be ship
ped to four different towns, before
they reached here, and some of them
were sold at each point and then repos-
sessed and put on the market here.
A careful investigation and the de-
mand of the Original Factory Bill of
Lading, by contemplating purchasers,
will prove our assertions.
All our Pianos and Organs come d.
rect to us from the Manufacturers,
there is no commission paid and the
purchaser is assured of getting a NEW
INSTR We have the ONLY
First-Class Pianos manufactured, and
have the largest stock to select from.
Beside we sell them as low as any
house north or south, and on EASY
Payments WITHOUT NOTES.

DON'T SIGN NOTES.

When buying a piano or ogran, a
lien on the instrument is sufficient Sc
curity for anybody. Commission ag-
ents and consignment dealers, only,
demand notes. We handle the
WORLDS BEST productions in Pr
amos and Organs. TEN different ma
kes, in different styles and in various
woods to select from. We warrant ev-
erything we sell and are here to pro-
tect our warranty. We DO NOT eX-
act notes in payment Of Pianos, and
we will sell Piano or Organ as cheap
as any house north or south, and on
easy monthly installments.

THE SCHMIDT MURDER.

Sheriff Campbell has thus far secur-
ed no clue to the perpetrators of the
recent horrible murder of Emil
Schmidt. the farmer at Senior post
office, near Won Ormay. 1t is the
general impression in this city that
the parties who killed and robbed
Schmidt were the same who attack
ed and beat the postmaster at Bexar
postoffice some weeks ago. Consid-
cradle comment is being made on the
way Governor Culberson ignores this
murder by not offering the usual re-
ward for the arrest and conviction of
the murderers.

sTocKMEN ARE COMING.
Thousands are Coming and Will
Bring their Ladies.

Bring their Ladies.
The local entertainment committee
for the approaching convention of the
Texas stockmen January IL to 10 in
elusive are gradually formulating a
program which is destined to please
both the stockmen and their ladies,
many of the latter expressing their
desire to come to the city and partic-
ipate in the festivities attendant upon
the meeting.
On the 18th the banquet for the
parade the streets and welcome the
guests at every depot.
On the 18th the banquest for the
gentlemen will take place in some
large hall, either Mission garden or
Beethoven hall, in the evening.
There will be a seat at the table
for every stockman attending and
the committee will see to it that ev-
cry one is served.
On the evening of the 10 the grand
ball, arranged especially for the Ia
dies, will take place in Beethoven hall
and for this occasion the committee
is laying itself out in an elaborate
manner and will see that every lady
dtteHulnS VIII receive the LnoSt care'
full attention.
The order for $500 fine badges has
already been placed and more will
probably have to be ordered, if the
attendance proves what the forecast
now shows, as Mr.. VOris p. Brown
the secretary, is receiving hundreds
of letters of acceptance from stock
men all over the state daily.

WHEN MY SHIP COMES IN.

Come, Little Mother, rest from work
while,
And let me feel upon my aching
brow
Your hands light touch perchance it
may beguile
Me of that pain which is so constant
now.
All, me, these hands They've had so
much to do
Since we were wed-that summer
day affair."
Then they were fair, as they were brave
and true,
Now thin and brown-God bless
them as they are;
But soon, dear hands, your rest time
shall begin
Ave, Little Mother, when my ship
comes in !
In looking back, there always is in
view
A little woman with burden great ;
Each morn she wakes to take it up
anew,
Her heart undaunted by its growing
weight.
IT'S work, work, work. / see her cook,
and sew
And sweep, and scrub, and wash, and
darn, and mend
In patched and faded clothes l see her
| go,
Putting self last, where there is aught
to spend.
But help shall come, and better times
begin
Aye, Little Mother, when my ship
comes in
Well paint the house, and add room
or two,
Refurnish it, put pallngs round the
| yard
Well have the old place looking smart
and new,
And our dear boys, who've he'd to
work so hard,
And little glrIs-a hne surprise they'll
| get!
They've never had chance we can
call fair
In this rough world, but they shall
have it yet,
And all those things for which
young people care.
In the old house such times have new
er been,
AS will be, Mother, when my ship
| comes in.
Is it growing dark ?-Why turn away
your head?
Not crying, child? Have you sc
socn forgot

ment said?
Must call the children, do you ask
For what?
All! look IA ship! It's sides and
sails are black,
And hither borne upon silent sea.
Whence does it colne?-It does no
veer nor tack;
Death holds the helm, and 1t come.

My ship! I did not think just now
don't cry
It would be thus-perphaps It's best

A Saloon Keeper Turning 70 Chalk.

St. Louis Dispatch.
Frank Ritter, one of the oldest and
best known saloon-keepers here, is turn
ing slowly into chalk. His remarkable
case was brought to the attention
of the Southern Surgical and Gyneco-
logical Association in convention here
and he has been visited by number
OF the delegates. For the benefit OF
these doctors, he traced his name In
chalk by simply rubbing his hands
against a table.
Ritter has saloon on Locust street,
and a fine house at 1889 Morgan street.
Five years ago doctors told him that
he would die slowly. Since then
they have cut off his left leg in eight
chalky sections, and now part of the
right leg is like that of a statue, and
the time is coming when that limb,
too, must be taken away. Both OF
the hands are SO affected that their
usefulness Is gone.
The disease is called Qualification
by DR.. Elisha Gregory, who pronounces
Ritter's case the most perfect type OF
govt known to the savants. Ritter
realizes he is half dead, but views the
situation with rare good nature. He
has amassed a fortune, and every day
sits in his Locust street saloon watch
ing the crowds pass and teasing his
pensive acquaintance for their lack
of good humor. DR.. Gregory's diagno-
sis Is that the Qualification is caused
by the lime salts of the body entering
into the equity limbs, which are per
fectly passive, and therefore unable te
throw of the accumulation, so that
the lime drift is converted Into chalk
the vitality in the passive limbs being
30 low there is no resistance.
