Origin OF "Harnfat'er."

correspondent of the New York
Sun gives the following account Of the
origin OF the word "hamfatter"-a
term Of derlsion applied to actors:
Years ago. before cold cream became
feature Of the makeup box, actors
used a preparation Of ham fat for re-
moving the crude grease paint Of their
times. The less prosperous ones, for
the sake OF economy. contented them
selves with the fat side Of ham skin,
which they carried about and used
Just as wood cutter does in greasIng
his saw. This practice had disas-
trous effect on the complexion. and
caused Thespians TO be recognized at
once by the cracked and discolored au-
pearance Of their faces. Hence the
term hamfatter'

That Anti-Pass Bill.

The hullabaloo raised about
that awful GU anti-pass bill re-
minds one that men and even leg
islators can do awfully clumsy
"electioneering" at times. All
this fuss raised about a bill whose
really sincere friends in both
branches of the legislature could
be counted on ones fingers It's
all big, coarse piece of political
clap-trap.
Legislators, a plank in whose
platforms told of the harms of
of free passes and pledged their
utmost endeavors to uproot the
evil, are congratulating their free
pass constituents over the defeat
of the bill and will doubtless he
before long trying to explain to
the farmers how powerless they
were to get anything done.
If a man is a first class hypo'
critic and can't get elected to the
legislature it would seem that his
days of usefulness are over or elst

Sure Thingl Invite the Editors.

The members Of the Texas
Press Association want to see San
Angelo. They've been hearing Of
this city and as newspaper duties
are rather combining they may
therefore be excused for not hav-
ing made this pilgrimage to the
West. The following from last
weeks San Angelo Standard tells
the story.
The editor Of the Standard is in
receipt of letter from VIII II.
Maves, editor Of the Brentwood
Bulletin, aud II member Of the
entertainment committee of the
Texas Press Association, which
convenes in annual session at
Brentwood, May IL, next, stat
ing that it is his belief that the
newspaper men would like TO visit
San Angelo on Saturday, May IL,
and suggesting that we take the
matter up with the proper
authorities.
We have referred the letter to
Mayor Powell and President
Webb of the Business Club, and
the idea of entertaining the jour
nalists of Texas appeared to them
at once as most important one.
The Business Club will decide
the matter at its next meeting,
which will occur Monday evening,
the goth inst. by all means let
the decision be favorable, 1t is
a golden opportunity!' 1t is
an important opportunity! And
why?
The best advertisement San
Angelo could possibly invest i'll,
would be to entertain these men
and women, whose duty III life 1t
is to inform the people through
out the world of the happenings
and advantages Of the great Lone
Star state. Seeing the natural
advantages Of our section the
journalists would "depict" them
often and thus San Angelo and
the country contiguous thereto
would become better known TO
capitalists seeking investment.
There is no class of people in
any profession anywhere that il
more appreciative or more eageI
to substantiate their apprecia
ton than are the newspaper mel
and women.
The Press wants to support the
stand taken by its contemporar,
and to urge that an invitation be
extended the members of thu
Texas Press Association to visi
this city on the occasion named
San Angelo can not entertain TOT
many newspaper men. They vii
do the town more real good thar
any like number of men in an
other profession known to Ameri
ca. Let's have 'em come by al
means.
