INTENSELY IN EARNEST.
Promoters of Street Railway Scheme
Are Confident That Proposition Is
a Capital One.

If San Angelo is not in possess
ion of street railway system
within few years it will not be
the fault Of the gentlemen who
are trying to work the matter up.
They look upon San Angelo as a
good field for such a proposition,
are willing to put money of their
own into such an institution and
confidently believe that they can
push the scheme to a successful
conclusion.
Messrs. A. j. Morgan, of this
city and Edward Merrick, former
ly of Muskogee, /. r., are the two
gentlemen who propose to 60
after such proposition for this
city.
In conversation with n Press
representative yesterday Mr.. Mer-
rick said: "San Angelo presents
the best opening for street rail-
way line of any place / have ever
seen in my life. The city is d.
vided INTO five distinct parts, each

one of which would profit by such
a railway system. First, here's
the business portion in the center
Of the town and at each of the
cardinal points of the compass
are resident portions which would
not only welcome an electric rail
way but the property owners of
which would profit enormously
by such n system being installed.
Besides all this there is the pres
tige to be gained by the city by
having such a street railway"
Mr.. Merrick's plans contem-
plate two distinct lines. One
would include South San Angelo,
traversing Chadbourne street to
the depot and on to Morgan's
Addition. The other would tray
erse Beauregard avenue and take
in San Angelo Heights and as
much of East San Angelo so as to
reach the Fair grounds. The two
lines wonld cross at the First
National Bank corner, where
transfers would be issued. In
this way all residence portions of
the city would be reached and a
passenger from East San Angelo

could go TO any part of the city
by transferring at Beaufegard and
Chadbourne. In addition to this
covering the whole city one of the
lines would be extended to some
pretty place on the river, a park
laid out, a summer theatre, ball
park and dancing pavilion pro-
vided, and San Angelo people
could spend an afternoon in the
country with no more expense
than that OF the price of the fares.
Mr. MerrIck has such implicit
faith in the practicability Of the
plan that he will invest S10000.00
in it and Mr.. Morgan will proba-
invest u like amount. These
gentlemen will ask of the city
council at it's next meeting the
granting of a franchise for a term
of years with the distinct stipula-
tion that work is to begin on the
construction of the proposed rail-
way line within a year from the

The Woman's Club.

The Club met last week at the
home of Mrs. S Il. Taylor on
Twohig avenue. The roll call
was answered with quotations
from Milton and the biography of
that great poet was studied in de-
tai TO the edifcation and instruc-
ton of these seekers for literary
enlightment and advancement.
The lesson of the afternoon,
Macbeth, act 1, scenes /, and
3, followed and careful prepare
ton on the part Of the individual
members was clearly shown.
Mrs. Salter's paper "Macbeth-
II psychological study" was
quite interesting.

prepared program with the aids
she introduced as auxiliaries to
the regular lesson resulted in u
very interesting session.

temper know"
Yesterdays Club meeting was
wholly devoted to music, that art
divine in the pursuit of which
even the gods find pleasure and
relaxation. The afternoon was
filled with pleasure and the souls
of the far devotees of literature
and art were filled with music.
Roll call was responded to with
the titles of the sweet songs of the
great composer, Beethoven.
Several of the mem bers of the
Club and friends of the ladies
who were invited to be present on
this occasion, true music lovers
all, favored the audience assem-
bled with beautiful selections
from the worlds great composers.
Mrs w. S. Cunningham, at
whose home the meeting was
held Yesterday afternoon, was
leader, and to her skillful general
ship is attributed the delightful
program which the members en-
ioyed.

since San Angelo began to assume
the metropolitan phase and every
means to further this clty's de-
velopment should be encouraged.
The council in granting the
franchise as asked for by Messrs.
Morgan and Merrick would
take no risk, San Angelo can af-
ford to donate the franchise If
these gentlemen can bring the
street cars, especially when you
consider that they ask for an op-
tion of only twelve months in
which to pull the thing through.
Hurrah for San Angelo and
three cheers for Messrs. Morgan
and Merrick.
