Leighton the actor.
Mr. Bentley IN his address said that II the
Church was TO have chance the organized
conscience OF the country she must have the
Lords Day to her own uses, and there must be no
Sunday theatres. He added:
But there is the dramatic side OF the question
As a actor. 1 know of the experience OF actors
in companies playing the small cities, especially
of the West who have languiShed for the Sunday
performance so that the ghost might walk TO
such actors and actresses the sunday comes as
great help in times OF stress and in the West there
Is sometimes stress than anything else. But
II is that the actors and actresses and others OF
the company never paid Tor this sunday Work
are allowed to have certain class Of performance
which in itself is degrading, while the better class
Of performances are not permitted on Sunday
The speaker advocated the framing OF law in
New-York a law not founded sentiment, that
would give the actors the Sabbath rest they de-
serve. Continuing he said:

years. Gt the head OF our police force man who

Harry Leighton did not think there was need OF
Sunday performances at ALL and he thought that
the fact that they given was to be charged

Some Pretty Windows.

L. A. Hough is the show win
dow artist at l.. Schwartz & Co.'S.
and good decorator is he. The
shades were drawn Monday morn
ing for the first time. Mr.. Hough's
initial display consists of win
dows as follows: (D Ladies',
ready-to-wear skirts and waists I;
(2) New fall waistings; (8) Ultra
shoes; (4) Millinery and ribbons;
(5) Mems clothing; (6) Mems
shirts; (O Mems hose; (S)
Trunks and travelling bags.
In the first place the windows
are roomy and richly furnished,
having pretty new fixtures of all
sorts as well as palms, ferns,
flowers etc. for ornamentation and
then Mr.. Hough knows his bust
ness. These displays are very
creditable to both the store and
to the decorator.

At the Opera House.

The Jack Taylor company,
which by the way holds the boards
at the opera house for the week,
presented "a True Kentuckian"
Monday night. The play gets
next to your sympathies at times
and gets you excited at others.
It's good little drama and makes
an evening spent with it one to be
remembered. Miss Franklin as
Tennessee Kent played the part
we'll, exceptionally 30. She has a
perfect mastery of the mountain
GERS idiosyncrasies of speech and is
wise in stage learning. Besides
this Miss Franklyn is a beautiful
and accomplished woman, which
fact is clearly brought out in her
work. The other characters were
good, especially Chas. Burch rs
Jewhilliker Hay, Laura Winston
as Mrs. Hay, and Jack Taylor as
Caleb Swan. Mr.. Taylor's acting
is always clever and San Angelo
audiences delight in being able to
see him again.
Last night the play was "Jona-
than Judd, Jr.," rip-roaring
laugh producer. Tonight it's "The
Ranch King" and you'd better
go. It's good.

A MASS MEETING Held.
Business Men Meet to Discuss Extern
sion of Contract With the
Orient.

Pursuant to call made by
President John Abe March, of the
Business Club, u mass meeting
was held at the court house FRI
day night to discuss the proposed
extension of contract with the
Kansas City, Mexico g. Orient
Railroad. There was good at
tendance of representative BUSH
ness and profess ional men.
The meeting was called to order
at S:80 by DR.. March, who ex-
planned it's object, stating among
other things, that large number
of the original subscribers to the
bonus had refused to sign the
extension contract asked by the
railroad people and the commit
tee had unanimously decided that
they would not sign guarantee
for $4,000 and rlght-ot-way I'M
der such conditions. The meet
ing, he said, was called to make
this fact known to the public.
On motion of Geo. j. Bird,
w. A. Guthrie was elected secre-
tary of the meeting.
A motion by Col. A. j. Baker
that list of the names of parties
willing to renew be read, pre-
vailed, and the secretary complied
Herewith. Mr.. Bird explained
that the list represented $4,000,
of which one-third had been paid.
Col. Baker stated that the orig
inal list amounted to about $50,
900, in addition to which the peo-
pie had signed an indemnity bond.
As n result of the refusal of many
to agree to an extension, only,
S82, 900 remained in subscriptions
with which to pay the $4,000
bonus. The committee had
thought the signers would rather
extend than pay now, but in this
they were mistaken, as mauy we're
willing to pay their subscriptions
and objected to a postponement.
After three weeks of work and
struggle there still remained a
shortage of $4,000 from the a
mount required. Col. Baker call
ed attention to the fact that the
public could not expect the rail
road committee to guarantee the
full amount under such condi-
tions He referred to the work OF
the right-of-way committee, which
had been at work almost constant

effort to be in position to ten.

fate of q Texas town that had
passed up similar opportunity,
the result of which was disastrous
to everv business interest in that
place
G. B. Metcalfe endorsed Judge
Wright's motion in few timely
and interesting remarks.
Judge Hill desired that the
chair request every man in the
house, who was willing to go
ahead and sign the guarantee, to
stand up. lie urged immediate
action, as only 20 days remained
in which TO straighten matters out.
Judge Wright thought that
Judge Hill should withdraw his
motion, and await the result of
the efforts of q committee.
L. L. Farr concurred in Judge
Wright's suggestion and thought
there were plenty of men who
would sign the guarantee, if
necessary.
Geo. e. Webb suggested that
it would be best to first canvass
the town and reach the new bust
, ness enterprises, not here before.
Austin Spencer thought many
new corners would readily sub
scribe, and that everyone would
do his part He had some prop
erty and would rather have it
divided equally and give the COM
pany half than lose the road.
He would rather sleep in the
streets than go back on the old
committee.
Capt. Ed Duggan believed in
staying with the old committee.
He stated that he was authorized
by a gentleman detained from the
meeting, to say for him that his
subscription would be renewed,
referring to Col. A. S. CAN'T.
Judge II. G. Wynn was of the
opinion that it was best to solicit
money first, and place the respon-
sibility on the public, If so or
% men should volunteer to guar
antee the amount, some would
not subscribe.
f. Il. Allen thought a committee
should go ahead and get what
they could and then he would be
one to sign the contract if it bust
ed him.
Mr.. Bird thought that they
should ascertain the names of
those who would be willing to
sign the guarantee if sufficient
money was subscribed, in order
to facilitate matters.
Judge Wright's original motion
prevailed and the chair appointed
the following committee to join
the old committee in soliciting
the necessary subscriptions and
renewals: G. w. Johnson, M. G
Ragsdale, Austin Spencer, G. B,
Metcalfe, George Bond, w. d.
Currier, Claude Broome, M. o,
Davis. w. A Wright and e. V,
Bateman.
George Bond offered to raise
his former subscription 500 in
consideration of u release from
the committee. The raise was
accepted with thanks, but the
chair could not dispense with Mr.,
Bonds services.
On motion of Judge Wright the
committee was instructed to re-
port to a mass meeting to be hello
at the court house Monday night
October 10th.
The old and new committees

/ Club rooms Saturday morning a

referred to the action of the
Orient in securing the services OF
Mr.. Dickerson, the great railroad
manager, which was considered a
very fortunate acquisition by
prominent men everywhere, But
Mr.. Dickerson, being void of any
sympathy in connection with the
location of the route, had adj
vanced the idea of q shorter line
through Texas, and had inaugu-
rated survey which passed to
the north and west of San Angelo
and shortened the distance 35
miles For this reason he had
used his influence to divert the
road from San Angelo. But the
board of directors recognized the
contract existing with San Ange-
10 and would carry it out, provid-
ed the request for an extension of
time was granted, otherwise Mr..
Dickerson's influence would no
doubt prevail and San Angelo
would lose the road. Col. Baker
made an earnest appeal for the
extension of the contract, recit-
ing IN connection the great i'm
petus the original contract had
given the commercial interests of
the city, IN increasing our popu-
lation 1000 and adding 81 200, 900
to property valuations.
Senator J. w. Hill was called
and prefaced his remarks with
the confession that he did not
know what to say, not knowing
what to thins of the people of
San Angelo. He referred to q
recent visit to Sweetwater, on
which occasion he was asked by
members of the board of directors
of the road, whether or not San
Angelo would agree to an extern
sion of time, to which he readily
assured them that there would be
no trouble in that respect. He
believed, at that time, that our
people would not hesitate a mo-
ment. Later the contract, pro.
viding for an eighteen months
extension of time, was prepared
in order to secure the main line
Of the road, when they found a
disposition on the part of many
signers not to renew. The com
mittee, he said, could not afford
to renew their signatures and
assume the responsibility, unless
the people would back them uE
with a sufficient subscription
He referred to the advantages the
road would provide and made
forcible argument for immediate
and definite action. He called
attention to the future prospects
of San Angelo, which, he said
were recognized throughout the
state as the brightest of any city
in Texas. On many occasions
while travelling, had he hearC
strangers discussing San Angelo
and their remarks were always
complimentary to the outlook fol

those present to put their shout.
ders to the wheel and push thu
wagon of progress, concluding by
expressing a desire for 40 volun
teers to join him in signing thu
guarantee.
Judge w. A. Wright made {
motion that the chair appoint {
committee of ten leading citizen
to join the old committee in al
effort to raise the subscription
needed, either as renewals from
the old list or as new contribu
tions. In discussing the motion
he demonstrated that no either
