100000 Points.

New York, Sept. 21.-Some day this
week a am of pinochle will be played

.neighbors as fair. fat and forty" and
admits the forty. She has been married
three times and weighs 200 pounds.
She is worth 5000.
II of the suitors is Reinold Van
Blessing, q carpenter, 80 years old. He
has been counting the widow for some
time and is a good hand at cards.
The other man is Captain John Tay-
Of a tramp steamer. He also lisa good
card player. Captain Taylor was we'll
acquainted with the widows last hus-
band, Arkland, who also was captain of
A tramp steamship.
Mrs. Arkland thinks a good deal of
both men, II was undecided which
to take. Van Blessing had, if any
thing, the better of the contest, as he
was at home near the widow all the
time.
Recently both men have been so
urgent tor the widow to choose be-
tween them that she did not know
what to do. Finally she said she would
let a game of pinochle decide the mat
ter. She said that 100, 900 points would
be the game.
Mrs. Arkland is a lover Of the game,
and is herself no mean player. The
contest, she stipulated, must be played
in the parlor of her nome in the pres
ence of the friends of all concerned.
A referee is to be selected tomorrow
afternoon, who will name the day on
which the game is to be played.

MAY BE A BIG STRIKE.
The Western Divisions of the Pennsy
vania Railroad System Face
a Strike.

Cleveland. O., Sept. 17.-Grand Master
Morrissey of the Brotherhood of Train
men, referring to the ballot now being
taken by the members of the organization
upo the Pennsylvania line west Of Pitts
burg, in connection with the proposition
to strike. said today:
There is no question OF recognition of
the brotherhood involved. There are no
issues between the employees and the COM
pany which could not be readily adjusted
IL the officials would meet the committee
representing the men upon the same basis
and in the same spirit that prevails on
railroads generally, including the lines of
the pennsylvania company east OF Pitts
burg and Erie. The questions involved
are simply the adoption Of working rules
similar to those in force on other trunk
lines in the territory. Some requests for
increase of wages rave also been present.
ed. which. of course. are dcbatable. But
the men hav had no fair opportunity to
discuss these with the Pennsylvania nan
agement."
IT is expected that the result of the bal
lot will be known by Monday.

ESCAPE OF RoBBER.
Stole Bag Containing $4,000 in Gold
From q Rank

San Francisco, Sept. 2o.--ust at the
close of banking hours today a man
in the lobby of the First National bank
of this city, observing the cage door
leading behind the counter ajar, pushed
it aside, walked in, n helping him
self to a bag containing $40, 900 in gold
coin, made a rapid exit. He imme-
diately slowed down his pace and
walked into a side entrance of the
Booklyn hotel which leads to the din
ing room closely followed by C. X.
Mcintosh, an employee of the bank, who
had witnessed the theft. Seeing he
was pursued, the thief turned into the
hotel office where he was overtaken
and seized by Mcintosh. When asked
to turn over he money he said it was
his own. The bag was taken from
him, however, and its~contents found
to have been undisturbed.
The daring robber, who is about 25
year of 6 and we'll dressed, called
on the people in the hotel office to see
If he nae not told the truth by accom-
panying him to the bank only a few
feet away. He walked to the corner
undisturbed, boarded a street car
which was passing and soon was out
of sight. He is nov being searched for
by the police.

JAPANESE BUSY AT
PORT ARTHUR AGAIN
Terrific Bombardment Thurs
day and Friday, Probably
With an Assault.
IMPORTANT FORT TAKEN
Believed That One of the Important
Positions Necessary TO the Defense
CT the City Has Been Cap
tured by Assault.
IMPORTANT FORT TAKEN

Chefoo. Sept. 2o.-Local students of
The military situation at Port Arthur,
hasing their deduction upon recent de-
velopmcnts there. are of the opinion
that another great assault is either oc-
curing at II present time or is immi-
nent. This opinion is based On the very
heavy Commandment of the Russian
stronghold tina occurred on September
l6. for such a b~ombardment forms the
usual prelude to an assault; on the ar
rival here of important messengers
from Port Arthur at Il time when the
running of the blockade is extremely
perilouS. on q recent authoritative
statement hat the Japanese siege
works are completed. and on reports
foom Japanese so lrces that at Port
Dalny att assault was expected to take
place in Il few days. These reports We're
received last week.
In addition to the foregoing there is
the common knowledge that the Japa-
nese realize that their continued activ-
ity increases the resisting power of
the Russian garrison and their conse-
Quent desire to make such period of in
activity as brief as possible.
Chefoo. Sept. 20.-A Japanese who ar
rived here today reports that the citi-
Zens of Dalny expected the general at
tack upon Port Arthur YOU be re-
newed on Friday. He has reliable in
formation that the Japanese siege
works at Rihlungshan and Kikwan-
shan We're completed on the 18th. Both
Chinese and Japanese recent arrivals
agree hat the bombarding of Port Ar
Il u became terrific at dawn of The 18th
and continued unit! h forenoon of the
10th. The Japanese fired from Shushi-
yen and Palungshan at Pigeon bay,
where heavy guns from Japan have
been placed in position lately. Shells
fell with great frequency in the Chi
nese new town. Five hundred cavalry
men who attempted to drive the Jap
anese from ~Palungshan, hav not re-
turned INC it is believed the fortress
there has been captured.

Mexico Surprise
To Visiting Baptists.

The Mexican at home is a sur
prise to a great many Americans, Z"
said Rev. a. B. Carlisle, who has
Just returned from the second an
nual Baptist convention of Mexico
held in Torreon.
He is a gentleman and a scholar,
and knows a few things that we
don't. For instance he knows how
to raise cotton. In the Laguna dis
trict they raise cotton by irrigation
and the land is flooded only once
a year. Then III Torreon there are
two cotton mills where thread and
cotton goods are made. In Gomez
Palacio only a short distance away
is an immense soap factory. These
Gowns are only fifteen or sixteen
years old, and for growth their
equal IS not found anywhere in
Texas. They have every modern
municipal improvement with the
exception OF sewers. ard these will
come before long. Torreon is al
ready a greater railroad center than
San Antonio, and will grow still
greater in this respect.
The Baptist convention was a
success. About fifty delegates were
present representing the 1000 Bap-
fists in the Republic. Monterey
was selected as the next meeting
place and Rev. Alexandra Trevino,
pastor of Monterey was elected
president. 1'revino is one of the
greatest men in the Baptist denom-
nation in Mexico. By this con
vention he was selected as rnessen-
ger to the Pan-Baptist conference
which takes place in London next
April. He will also attend the
State Baptist convention in Waco |
next month. "-Express.

From San Antonio


Oct. 2l.-The many transfer
nations which have been made in
San Antonio during the past decade
are wonderful. The old landmarks
are fast disappearing. and it will
be but a few years when the old
time rock and adobe buildings
which may remain will be viewed
as relics of a past age. One of
these which is kept prominently
before the public is the old Degen
brewery, which produces only a
limited amount of the pure, old
time malt besr, such as our grand
fathers used to drink. Old man
Degen has been in the business
over forty years, and has made
snch a name for his product that
capitalists have offered him large
sums to establish an extensive
brewery and continue the manu-
facture of the old-time article, but
he has declined all offers, prefer
ring to cater to his old trade, the
German farmers, who are his most
liberal patrons.
San Antonio, today, may be
classed as one of the most thriving
and beautiful cities of the south. !
The heights around the city are
adorned with residences designed |
in the latest styles of architecture,
a number of them solid rock struct-
ures of novel model and symmetry.
The long avenues III the heart Of /
the city with their shade trees of /
dense foliage, set of to advantage
the beautiful homes Of the well-to-
do citizens. The exigency of the
times has called for the erection of
the sky scraper, which IS III evil
dence on all sides; these have ele-
vators and alllnecessary convenien-
ces for the Office man. Apartment
houses are numerous, furnish
ing frst-class accommodations for
guests.
The city is already showing con
siderable activity in the arrival of
visitors to the coming fair. The
majority of these early birds belong
to the classes known as the fakir,
the gambler and the pickpocket.
The city authorities, with the view
of giving every visitor an oppor-
tunity of fully enjoying the
festivities have greatly modified
many of the most stringent
rules OF the city's ordinances and
given free rein to many prohibited
pleasures during continuation of
fair which, If enforced at any other
time would be punishable by fines.
The additions at Fort Sam Hous-
ton, which are grand in concep-
ton, are rapidly nearing compile
ton, a large force Of artisans be
ing employed. The garrison is oc-
cupied at present by two companies
of infantry, two troops Of cavalry
and two batteries Of artillery.
San Pedro springs, since remod- +
cling, make a favorite resort for
visitors. The Alamo is daily
crowded with sightseers, who take ,
away with them souvenirs which
are for sale by Miss Moilie Bennett,
the custodian. There will be some
thing doing in San Antonio next
week, and those who have not
been so fortunate as TO visit the
big St. Louis show, viii be amply
compensated by taking in and pat
ronizing literally the home made
article at San Antonio.
