Alamo Given Old Papers
One Is Petition Filed Four Years Before Revolu-
tionary War.

Interesting papers belonging to VIII
liam d. Williams, American patriot
and mariner of the early Colonial Pc
riod, were donated to the Alamo We'd
nesday by Miss Julia Wilson, SIT San
Pedro avenue. Miss Wilson Is
descendant Of Mr.. Williams, and has
retained through her family many
heirlooms handed down from Mr.. Will
liams and from other pioneer snces-
tors.
Miss Wilson's donation to the
Alamo includes three original copies
of old papers, one a doctors bill dated
1915, one a note written in Philadel-
phia in 1911, and the other a petition
filed by William Williams against
one John Brown, Of Philadelphia, in
1772. .
The doctors bill is reminiscent Of
old-time chivalry on the seas, smack
ing strongly of brine and powdered
wigs. 1t pictures in its flowery Ian
guage the decorum and ceremony of
Colonial times, yet the items and the
methods listed are revelations of the
crudeness of medical science at that
period. The handwriting on the old
bill is still plainly legible, written
in IRE flowing. conceited style of those
times, and the paper is only slightly
yellowed with age.
Breaking the News.
Il seems that Captain Williams,
who was a noted mariner of this pc
Rod, was commander of the ship
Herald. part freighter, part passen-
ger. and part warship, built TO carry
cargoes and to resist the pirates inftst-
ing tie trade roads during the time
following the War Of 1872. AS she
was lying off the Bordeaux Road, her
crew and her captain became i'll. end
Thysil, Ian was obtained from the
French shore. This doctor. signing
himself William Reuser, was the witt
err OF the bill. A part Of its contents

But at the Carnegie public library
this elusive nature Of an object
sought for is controlled by the filing
system. The woman who wanted
picture of the Goddess of Liberty
went to the public library and obtain
ed it from the picture collection there.
Prints from the collection have been
in demand recently by participants
in the forthcoming San Jacinto fiesta,
according to Mrs. Johnston. Pictures
Of national and periodic costumes as
well as historical scenes are used
as models in preparation for amateur
theatricals and entertainments of va
rious kinds.
Although the print and picture col
lection is found in the children's de-
partment of the public library, it was
placed there merely from the stand
point of convenience and utilization
of available space, for the collection
has its primary appeal to adults,
especially parents and teachers. The
collection furnishes valuable material
for teachers of history, literature, and
natural history sciences in the San
Antonio public schools system.
The collection of prints and pic
lures was started by the San Antonio
public library several months ago to
meet the growing demand for a col
lection of that kind. Leading educa-
tors, it has been indicated by state
ments made by Jeremiah Rhodes. su-
perintendent of schools, are insisting
that pictures are an important factor
in education.
Pictures also serve a valuable pur-
pose in other fields. A verbal descrip-
ton of the drapery and posture of the
Statue Of Liberty would not be suf-
ficiently detailed and vivid to enable
one TO have it reproduced in a tableau.
An oral or written description OF a
famous cathedral or a national cos
tune would not be as practical a

four words were all he had to speak,
