TO CONSULT THE ATTORNEY.
City Council Will Investigate the Le-
gal Status of the Market House
Question.

The special meeting of the city coun-
Gil to consider the question of locating
a general market house on Paschal
square drew forth full board Of al
dermen yesterday and the matter was
discussed pro and con at some length
and then it was decided to refer the
question to City Attorney Minor for
his opinion as to whether the city had
the authority to compel all butchers
to occupy stalls in one market house
in the event said market house should
be built.
The general opinion of the aldermen
was that the city had this right, and
it was stated that the majority of the
butchers were ready and willing, even
anxious, to make this move provided
there would be placed in the maket
house an adequate, up-to-date refrig-
Grating and cold storage plant.

The passage by the city council of the
ordinance granting franchise to use
certain streets to the Texas Transpor-
tation company is a matter of congrat-
ulation all around.
Mayor Callaghan scored a victory in
having his position in favor of de-
handing recompense for franchises.
sustained by the unanimous vote of
the council.
Hereafter the rule will be, fair
compensation for valuable franchises
asked of the city, and Mayor Callaghan
has the credit for this innovation upon
the time honored habit of our city adj
ministration making presents to pri-
vate corporations of everything in
sight.
The mayor and city council have per-
formed their part of the business, now
it remains to be seen whether the en-
terprise will be stopped by the proper
ty owners through the intervention Of
the courts.
The franchise is well guarded and as
the cars are to be operated by electric
ity, and over the track Of the present
street car line, it would seem that the
DIRECTORS will have little ground for
complaint.
The streets will be relieved of the
burden of the heavy trucks that now
carry the freight of the breweries, and
in this particular the city will be bene'
fitted.
The freight cars can be operated dur
ing the hours that will not disturb the
traffic and travel of the general pub
lie.
San Antonio is destined to be the
great beer manufacturing city of the
state. Because of the superiority of
our water San Antonio beer is superior
in quality and must take the whole
market of the state. The granting of
this franchise by the city will enable
the breweries to handle their output in
competition with all other breweries.

An Indian Essay.

ST. Louis Globe-Democrat: There is
nothing more original than the early
compositions of an Indian boy. The fol-
lowing example is still preserved as an
instance in which its savage author
epitomiZed in unconscious parable and
with excellent humor the relations OF
the red man and his white brother. 1t
is entitled, STORY of Good Bird and
BAD Cat" The essay follows:
One day, bright day. a little bird
happy n sat on a log and sang all day
long. That bird doesn't know anything
about cat. She thinks nobody is near to
her. But behind the near log one SLY
old cat it watching. She want to eat for
supper, and She links about stealing
all the time. The old cat came very
slow. and by and by she go after the lit
tie bird, but she does not see him and
sang very loud again.
She sang just like this: I am always
try to do what is right; wen l ever die
l go to heaven that bird said these all
words, and l shall not forget the little
bird what it said, and these all words it
said, and after two or three minutes &c
died; the cat jumped and catch and kill
eat all up except little things from bird,
wings, legs, or skin, and hat bird is
glad to die because she is very good
bird.
The little bird has last time sans
and very happy was the little bird after
that. / think the old cat have good din.

London Hospital: We should at all
hazards keep the feet warm. The DIFF
ference between cold feet and warm is
a difference which has an important ef-
feet upon the general temperature of the
body, and an equally important effect
upon both health and comfort, alike in
the night and in the day. The blood,
propelled by the heart, circulates. as we
isnow, throughout the wholt body, like
the two feet, is very cold, the warm
blood has to pass through a large cold
1rea, and it becomes cooled in passing.
But. in the case of cold feet, not only
Is the area cold, but the flow of blood,
n of the remoteness of the
feet from the cardiac pump, is at ita
ment of time to be considered; and when
this is considered 1t is perceived how
very much really cold feet may lower
the whole temperature of the blood, and

the feet are warm, very warm. they will
not lower, but actually raise the tenn
pcrature of the blood, n thus make a
very important difference, indeed, in the
| warmth of the whole body. Thinking
Of these things, II may readily see
why a small degree OF GOODNESS in the
feet may produce in some persons collie
pains. and even diarrhoea, while Il
greater degree of GOODNESS in the feet
may bring about in 9thers even a

Hurt tho DOGS Pride.

A certain dog, which was growing
old, was in Il barn one day with his
master. The two We're up on Il hay
NOW from which a slipping ladder led
down to the barn floor. The master
walked down the ladder, but the dog
went around by another way. When
the dog reached the barn floor his mas
ter began to say to hun somewhat taunt,
ingly, Poor old fellow! Daren't walk
down the ladder any more! Daren't
walk down the iadder!!" Whereupon
the dog, with a quick glance at his mas
ter. worked clear up the ladder to the
top and then turned around and walked
down it again. The proceeding looked
very much like n deliberate demonstra-
ton on the dogs part to his master that
he was still capable of walking up and
down a %slanting ladder. Did the dog
understand the taunt, or did he merely
catch the words down the ladder" and
take the utterance for Il command,
which he dutifully proceeded to obey?
No one will ever know, probably, since
the dog himself can give no account of
the matter. But any one who knows
dogs is aware that anything like ataunt
aistresses and humiliates them.--BosL0n

CHINESE DINlNc.ouT GIRLS.
They Are Used to Amuse Men at Dim
ncrs.

When, for instance, u Chinese gentle
man intends giving a dinner to three
friends he will arrange for it to be pro-
vided on a flower boat at Il certain
hour. and also for the company OF eight
dining-out girls-two for each gentle
man, says a writer in the Century. l
call them dining-out girls. as it best de-
scribes to me their calling. They will
come prcttily dressed, their hair done
up in most wonderful shapes and
brushed over with a sort of ynrnish
which makes it appear like a fantastic
head-dress, carved in ebony. They
will ornament this structure with bright
flower, though the wrcaths will be as
stiff as their hair; or they will some
times add jade, gold or feather-inlaid
ornaments. Their faces will be painted
in white and pink-very artistically
painted, smooth and ~soft-looking; deli
cately traced; sharp black crescents
will mark their eyebrows. Dainty,
dcmure dolls they will appear and
pretty to look upon; but seemingly one
touch would destroy their artistic eff
fects, as Il rough hand the radiance Of a
buttertly's wing.
Two of these young ladies will attend
to each gentleman, sitting slightly back
from the table at each side of the enter
tanned. They will fill his liquor cups,
sip from them aud pass them on; pick
out dainty pieces of "chow" (food) with
chopsticks and hand them to him; crack
jokes, fill and light his pipe and all the
while chat gayly and eat dried water.
melon seeds. That is all l ever saw
them eat. Behind each group Of three
a solemn-looking %coolie, or waiter. will
stand to fan them all the while. Other
walters bring in food. wine and tea,
change the dishes and attend to theil
wants. The meal will last for a long
time. Eventually all will rise aud re,
tire to an outer room furnished witt
broad couches covered with mating,
Opium pipes will be there for those
who care for them and tobacco and
cigars in plenty. The girls will sit o,
the couches, laugh, fill the pipes ant
still eat watermelon seeds. while thu
gentlemen will r%ecline at their ease, en-
loving their society,
