The O'clock Closing.

Considerable complaint has been
heard lately about some OF the San
Antonio street merchants violating
their agre ement with the Knights OF
Labor, which sets the closing hour for
business houses at o'clock prompt
The reporter this morning secured
staten ents from three of the business
men, as follows:
N. Diamond said: 1T was reported
to US shat HI. Krupp & Bro. had been
keepi ng open after the hour agreed up
on to close. 1t was stated to us that
Bros store long after the hour of clos
ing, and we concluded that if one
could do this we all could do the same.
We have, however. been abiding
strictly by our agreement with the
knights OF Labor
Mr.. Kline of the Mechanics store
said: s'Well. some remain in their
stores after the hour agreed upon to
close. The proper parties are not
strict enough in enforcing the O'Clock
agreement by any means. l am living
up to my agreement now and expect to
do so.,'
II. Ilrupp & Bro. said: 1--WE never
have sold any goods after the hour
agreed upon to close. We would
neither sell goods nor give them away
after o'clock. We have received
money after that time but have
sold no goods. We have been
in the store and people who owed
q little bill, seeing us in
there, would make known their desire
and we would admit them, but no sales
were made. This statement we can
prove by reliable witnesses, and no one
can say he ever bought goods in our
store after7 O'Clock. We think it
would be proper to allow us to keep
open after Z o'clock on pay days. Some
men do not have time to get around to
all the business houses before o'clock
and we think if we were allowed to keep
open on these nights 1t would save a
great deal of trouble. We still insist
that we have in no way violated our
agreement with the Knights of Labor. y

The Texas State Fair.

Col. w. L. Thompson. special agent
representing the state fair association,
is in the city. 1t has been nine years
since Col. Thompson was in Ell Paso
before. He is greatly struck with the
vast improvement that has taken place
in the town since he saw it last. Mag
nificent buildings are going up on all
sides, and there is every evidence that
Ell Paso is now on the top of the wave
of prosperity, and is destined to great
err things. He regards Ell Paso as one
of the liveliest and best cities of the
state of Texas.
The colonel is here primarily in the
interest of the state fair which is to be
held in Dallas from the first to the six
teenth of October. ''There is every
prospect, said Col. Thompson. "that

Battleships and Ironclads.

There have been but three wars in
which modern ships were used-the
Chilean, the Brazilian and the war be-
tween China and Japan, says the
Buffalo Express. In each of these a
powerful ship was destroyed by tor.
pedoes. In the Chilean war the Blanco
Encalada, an ironclad battleship of g.
500 tons was struck by torpedo, fired
from a hostile vessel during q night
attack. It sank in nine minutes and
about $50 of its crew were drowned,
only forty escaping.
In the Brazilian war the Aquidaban,
an ironclad battleship of 5,791 tons,
was struck by torpedoes, also fired
from hostile vessels. The first tor
pedo sank the vessels, but, being in
shallow water, its secondary battery
could still be used. A few minutes
later a second torpedo struck the ship,
lifting it entirely out of the water and
tearing a great hole in its hull. There
was little left Of the Aquidaban that
was worth saving.
In the China-Japan war the first
class battleship Chen -Yuen, 1900 tons
ran upon sunken torpedo while 60
ing out of Wei-Hai-Wei harbor. The
commander succeeded in beaching her
but she was never repaired.

Smoking Cigars On a Wager
Pearson's Weekly.

Pearson's Weekly.
A man well-known in turf circles
made curious wager in the year 1860
in which he backed himself to smoke
one pound weight of strong foreign
regalias within II hours. The condi.
tions were that the cigars should be
smoked one at time to within an
inch of the end, the hacker of time, az
in the case of some pigeon matches
finding the weeds.
The match was decided on a Thames
steamer plying between London and
Chelsea, the smoker taking up q posi-
ton we'll forward in the bows, where
he caught the force of the breeze thai
was blowing. The cigars ran 100 tc
the pound, so that about eight an houl
had to be consumed to win the wager
A start was made at 10 o'clock in the
morning, and the affair was finished
at Z in the evening.
In the course of 9 hours and q
minutes sc cigars were fairly smoked

GraceleSS.

A tiny girl of Z or thereabout gave
a dinner party the other day for which
II covers were laid, and that number
of small maidens sat down to dine. 1t
was real little girls dinner, and the
little hostess herself presided, sitting
at the head of the table. But she was
anxious, in looking forward to it, to
do everything as it should be done.
Mamma" she asked, shall we say
grace"
"No," said mamma, ait will be a
very informal dinner, and I think you
need not do that"
That meant one less ceremony to
be gone through and was a relief, but
the little lady was anxious to have all
her small guests understand it. So as
they were gathered about the table
she explained:
"Mamma says this is such an in
fernal dinner that we need not have
grace to-day"

The Soldiers Bed.

The soldiers bed varies notably in
the different European armies. In
our country the bed is hard; the
soldier lies on a mattress that rests on
canvas stretched over frame, though
in many barracks spring mattresses
and iron bedsteads are in use. In
Spain the soldier has only straw bed,
but he is allowed besides this a pill low
two sheets, two blankets and covered
quilt, sometimes even cover for the
feet. It is almost sybaritic. In Ger
many and Austria he has a simple
straw bed with one or two covers
neither sheet nor mattress. In Russia,
until recently, the soldier slept with
his clothes on, on a camp bed; but
now ordinary beds begin to be used
the result OF contact with more civil
lied countries. After this it cannot
be doubted that the French soldiers
bed is the best of all, with its wooden
or iron bedsteads, staw bed, WOOL
mattress, sheets, q brown woolen COW
erlet, and an extra quilt for cold
weather
