sythe, the show girl, Evelyn Thaw's old
chum, faithful friend and confidantc.
returned yesterday on the Kronprinz
Wilhelm from a trip to Aixles- -Bains,
not because she was sick, she explain

young man aboard-'kid" she called
him-listed as Herr Anthony ]. Drexel,
Jr., heir of one of the oldest and rich
est families of Philadelphia.
Young Drexel is twenty. He Is Just
out of Eton, and looks, acts, dresses
and talks like an Englishman. After
they came aboard at Southampton
young Drexel and the pretty show girl
were much together. He dined and
supped with her so many times, and
bought so many ices for her in the
Vienna cafe. they walked so much TO .
gether and looked over the rail so much
together, that the rumor spread they
were engaged.
Both denied yesterday they were en-
gagged and young Drexel said such
talk was "all rot"
"Just think how it sounds" said he
isn't it true that you're engaged to
this Eton chap?" Evelyn Thaw's friend
was asked.
I'D hate to robe a cradle" replied
Miss Forsythe, but If he should urge
me too hard 1 can't tell what would
happen"

The question Of condemning the streets in
the Buttonwoods was considered again
but the counclmen could not see their
way clear to take any action and the city
solicitor will be asked to give his opinion.
The property owners on the Buttonwoods
pay only one half of the county tax into
the city. In order that the property shall
bear its share Of taxation bin must be
passed by the Legislature. Should such
legislation fail then the city would be in
a quandary. In any event the taxes would
be only $500 and when the school taxes
would be deducted there would not be
enough money left to pay for bridges
and repairs to the streets.
The porch ordinance was given its third
reading. 1t provides for five foot porches
on all streets except Delaware from the
river to Fifth street

ton to our team. For the last three
years Leggett has been on the football
team working hard and doing much
toward upholding the honor of A. & NJ.
on the gridiron. AS a quarter back he
is quick and speedy and withal as
cool and collected as if making end
runs and tackling opponents was the
simplest thing out. Not only does he
handle the pig skin at quarter but on
the end he gets 'em coming and going.
Though small in stature he has the
weight and speed which count for
most in a gridiron battle. This year
our team is composed mostly of new
men but when man like Leggett
comes in to take his place in the ranks
it is a source of inspiration to those
who are out trying to help the team
and it should make the big husky

When everything is considered the
defeat does not look so bad The fact
that one of our best men was out of

From the Battalion.
Last Saturday A. & NJ. went down
in defeat before the veterans of the
Louisiana State University from Ba.
ton Rouge. The score 26 to 0 was
made by two touchdowns and a field
goal in the first half and two touch
downs in the second.
When our men trotted out for the
contest at Pelican Park in New Or
leans they found the bleachers lined
with yelling college men and football
lovers. Rain was falling and it was
not long till the intermittent showers
made the gridiron slippery and soft
In spite of this drawback our team
put up a good fight and made the Lou
isianans work for their score.
A. & Ms. line was strong and the
punting of Fenton was the chief source
of gain for Louisiana. Heidelberg at
center played well and broke through
the enemy's line time and time again.
DeWare went into the game as quar-
ter back but was put on the end dur
ing the second half. He was the only
one of our men to get layed out and
he did not let this keep him from do
ing his duty and regular good work in
his position. Hamilton was much
handicapped by the nature of the
field and could not make any of his
fast runs. His work was good and it
was not long before the enemy knew
him.
Roberts put on the real article in
football and worked like an old timer.
Parker played fine defensive game
and equally as good on the offensive.
Lillard got in good work during the
first half but was relieved by Gretchen
in the second, who held his own with
out any trouble. Hooper was pitted
against the man who broke Cornell's
leg last year but the San Antonio boy
never gave him an inch. Huston was
always on hand with the goods and
kept the other team from raising the
score. Darbyshire and Taylor, the half
backs, were in the whole game and
acquitted themselves in good style.

Il GOOD MN GONE.

Yesterday at San Antonio, at ST.
Marks cathedral, were performed the
last sad rites over the remains of one
who goes to his eternal rest, with
encomiums of honest praise from the
hearts that knew him best G. Be
dell Moore was one of those men who
make the world better by having
lived in it. Although not Texan by
birth, yet during the many years
since he made the state his by adop-
ton be had become identified with its
best interests, and although his life
was spent in a comparatively quiet
and unobtrusive manner, yet he
made his mark as a successful bust
ness man, and at the same time as a
useful, honorable and philanthropic
citizen. He was not a self made
man, but came to Texas from his
northern home with some means
which he invested wisely in lands
and stock. By attention to business
and wise methods, he built up during
his life an extensive estate, and
leaves one of the best properties in
south and West Texas Many men
have served his interests in tue va
rious sections where his interests lie,
and one and all were his friends and
sincerely mourn his loss. Nothing
speaks more highly for a man than
the fact of enjoying the esteem and
honest affection of those who are en-
ployed under him. This Mr.. Moore
earned and enjoyed through many
years. As a citizen he was noted as
an upright and high minded man. He
was charitable and always a friend
to the poor. In his family life. he
was irreproachable, and the sincere
love of his nearest and dearest was
given TO him without stint.
In G. Bedell Moore, the state of
Texas loses a man who added much
to its citizenship. and his family and
friends have lost one whom time can
not replace.
