used to envy him when he saw him
depart and il he did not follow him, it
was because he was afraid OF the dis
pleasure of his mother and the harsh
words of the foreman of the Workshop.
But at last he broke through all
restraints and having procured the in
| dispensable percal he marched off in
search of tauromachie adventures.

THE new Masonic Temple" said
Felix Martinez today, sis going to be
built, think, on the site selected, and
! If it is, the result will be that the i'm
mediate neighborhood of Texas street
and Mesa avenue will come into its
| own sooner than we have hoped for.
l mean that within a short time this
locality will be the business center of
the city. The business center must
extend to the east ard south. To the
northwest Is the best reside por-
tiou. Its main avenues, Oregon
street and Mesa avenue, bring its
traffic down into this locality.
ITO the east lie the majority of the
homes of the railroad men and
mechanics of the city, while to the
south and southeast are the factories
and the homes of Mexican residents.
The location of all these lie not clearly
marked, nor Of great consequence.
The point l make is that portion of
each reaches up into this locality.
We are near the two big NOTES.-THE
Orndorff, and the prospective Sheldon.
We are near the plaza and the post
office. The business center must
move, and the building of the Temple
will bring it our wsy. 1 venture then
to prophecy that, within five years,
San Antonio street, at Its intersection
with Mesa, and the latter, at its inter-
section with Texas, will mark the best
business quarter of the town. And
Stanton street will be the busy
thoroughfsre of smaller shops that
lower San Antonio street is now"
We in western Texas have our chance
to criticise the English soldier now.
But 1t is interesting to read the ortiz
cism of our soldier boys by an English |
officer just before the Boer war began. |
Lieut.. Col. F. M. Randall, command |
ing the First battalion, Fourth Gurk- |
has, delivered on Aug. 1S and % at the |
United Service Institution of India at |
Simla two lectures on the American |
Civil War. In his summing at the |
end, the lecturer Gays:
''As one reads the story one can not /
but be filed with the prOfoundest adj
miration for the superb courage dis
played, not occasionally, but incessant-
ly, by both federals and confederates-I
q courage displayed not by individuals
only, but by regiments, by .brigades,
by whole Divisions. AS l read of these
gallant deeds and remem bered that
these officers and men had been but a
few months before not soldiers, bu |
peaceful citizens, felt that America
Ia the nation of soldiers born, and that
her sons are made of that stern stuff |
which enables men, worn out with in
cessant fatigue aud bar dship, to still go
forth morning after morning, after
nights of broken rest spent in mud aud |
slush and hunger and miserv, to their
daily bandgrip with death and mutila-
tiop, with splendid dash and brilliancy,
and a courage thatnone can beat"
Zone great and important alteration
am heartily in favor of for Ell Paso,"
said A. Courchesne today, lis the do
ing away of the superhuity of brid ges
across the Rio Grsnde. | think that
those four bridges, with their many
supports, are the cause of the floods
W which. at times, sweep over the lower
portion of the city. Aud, furthermore,
their appearance is disre pu ia BILE in the
extreme. 1t would be far greater
improvement and convenience to the
city and to the government officials on
both sides of the river to have two fine, ,
&c ntrally located bridges. One OF these
should be for foot passengers, for drays, ,
and for vehicles of every sort, includ-
ng street cars; while the other should ,
De made to &C commo5ate sll the rail-
loads crossing the river.''
