A Light Reporter Visits all the Small-Por
There is possibly no more cowardly or
nervous organization than the public
mind. It is easily thrown Into the wild
est enthusiasm or deep despondency and
panic, and is constantly alternating be
tween these two conditions. An apt
example of this can be cited in the re
cent sporadic outbreak of small-pox in
this city, tales of the;wildest description
were circulated, creating a panic in the
public mind and tending to injure the
commercial interests of the city to no
small extent. Although the small-pox
is now comparatively a thing of the
past, yet there is a morbid element who
tind pleasure in making mysterious
statements with *' grUn/Bclight calcu
lated to impress their listeners that the
small-pox exists to a far greater ex
tent than the city authorities
would have them believe. I’o ut
terly confound these miserable ami
despicable circulation of falsehoods
A Light reporter was detailed to In
vestigate the subject thoroughly and to
persoaally visit all the cases and ascer
tain the exact extent of outbreak in
pursuance of this he visited the City
Physician, and obtained from him as a
preliminary step a complete list of cases
that bad occurred. Following are the
names of the sutterers from the tirst an
nouncement of the outbreak, which oc
curred on January 2:
January 2.—Mariana Gomez, Seeun
dino Martinez,Gregorio Espinosa, Doro
tea Espinosa.
January 4.—. Maria Inez Rodriguez.
January s.—Mandy .Scott, colored
January 13 Jose Montez.
January 15- Antonio Espinoza.
January 16.— Bud Franks, Damain
Gomez.
January 18. — Rachael .Scott, colored
January 20—J. H. Landram.
January 29.—Doniciana .Medina.
February L—Carrie Franks.
February 3. —Meliton Castile.
February s.—Jesttsa Ramirez. Doni
ciano Ramirez.
February 6.—Margarita Castile. Wm
Henthorne.
The atiove eases comprise all that
have been treated in the pest house.
The outside cases have been most pre
valent at Beanville. but at present all
are entirely well, and no new eases nave
been found, 'Hie Beanvillecases were as
follows:
January 4 — Santa Gerera, Julia Ge
rera. Celestine Gerera, Rosa Gerera.
January IL—Portiro Sanchez.
January 13.—Marco Saiz.
January 15.—Maggie Connor.
January 16.—Francisco del Castile .
January 17.—Teresa Mendoza.
January 18 —Pablo Gonzales.
February 7.—Joseph Piper.
On January 16 the case of Dr. Light
hall. the Diamond King, at the corner of
Nacogdoches and East Houston streets,
was reported.
January 20.—Refugio Camuinio, on
Guadalupe street.
January 18.—EstafanaGalan, on Carr's
Hill.
January 16.—Emma McClintock and
Nelly McClintock, opposite pest-house.
January 16.- Ramon Ganuisuaya, on
Carr's Hill; E. Jenull, in the Fourth
Ward; Emily, Alma and Charlie Risebe,
in the Third Ward.
February B.—Anastacio Falan and Li
berio Polanco, on Carr's Hill.
These are all the cases to date, 11 of
the above list succumbing to the disease,
giving a mortality of 23} per cent., and
this, considering that the best authori
ties place the rate of mortality at 50 per
cent, is very low. Stringent sanitary
measures were enforced and perfect
isolation has been maintained.
After obtaining these names and data,
the Light reporter, accompanied by
Mayor Callaghan and City Physician
Braunnagel "started on the main object
of their mission, viz . to visit the pest
house and other points where small pox
had broken out.
Proceeding to Monterey street, about
a mile and a half from Main plaza, the
pest bouse was reached. This institu
tion is a substantial frame building
thorougly well plastered, and contains
three large airy and comfortable cham
bers; the first of which is the male ward,
the second the female and children's
ward, and the third is the kitchen and
nurse's room. There is also a smaller
room to which bad cases of delirium
that might disturb the other patients
are removed. These wards are kept
beautifully clean and warmed by stoves
to a comfortable temperature. The
bedding and general accommodations
are all excellent, and the whole is
placed under the general supervision
of Sisters St. Claude and St. Claire, two
experienced and trained nurses. At the
time of the visit all the patients were
quite convalescent and evidently grate
ful for the treatment they bad received
at the hands of. the City Physician,
nurses and Mayor.
The Light reporter interviewed all the
patients, (eight in all, who were all in
more or less advanced stages of con
valescence, and none of the cases ap
peared to have been very virulent with
tbe exception of Bud Franks and W. H.
Henthorne, tbe steward of the deceased
Diamond King’s camp.
Leaving tbe pest-house, the Fourth
Ward was visited and Jenull, the sani
tary officer, was the next patient seen.
He was found to be out of bed and fat
and hearty, the disease in bls case being
of a very mild character.
From Jenull's house the final cases
were visited. These were in the Third
Ward, at the house of .Mr. Ed Rische.
Here bls two little daughters were
found to be stricken down with
tbe malady, and also one of his
sons, all however were progressing sat
isfactorily, and it was only a matter of a
few days before quarantine could be
safely raised.

The main object In view in publishing
this bald statement of facts is to relieve
and disperse any false impression on the
nubile mind that the disease is anything
like epidemic ; no new cases have been
reported, and It is highly improbable
that any more instances will be heard
of, and San Antonio may congratulate
herself on the fact that the small-pox
outbreak of 1886 has been promptly
stamped out of existence by the ener
getic action of Dr. Braunnagel and
Mayor Callaghan, who has personally
and continually assisted the city physi
cian in his labors.

And They Cut Down a Noble Shade
Tree.
t'ouimunieaied
It Is not altogether in the larger af
fairs of municipal government that a
city administration shows its fitness to
take care of the comfort, health and
prosperity of the community; tlie small
things make up the great bulk of the
business of municipal affairs, and it is
in this direction that intelligence, good
senseand warm sympathy with the peo
ple are requisite for success. A recent
occurrence which came under my eye
convinced me that the present city gov
ernment is not well balanced, and quite
irresponsible in its acts. On Thursday
looming the residents of North Flores
street, near the intersection of Belvin
street, were startled by tbe appearance
a party of city executioners; one carried
a keen bladed ax, and the other drove a
carl; the cry went up: “They have
come to cut down that splendid tree
and the man with tbe ax stood eyeing
the symmetrical proportions of a shade
tree that stood at the intersection of the
two streets, parting the roadway of
North and South Flores street. Families
stood on their thresholds protesting;
passers-by stopped to comment freely
upon the wanton outrage, and a
general expression of opposition came
from all quarters. Tbe axman felt his
heart sink as he prepared for the execu
tion, but he said lie bad no option tie
must obey his “boss,” the Street Loiu
missioner. A resident of the street called
on the Street Commissioner and asked
upon whose authority this destruction
of the tree was ordered. At first he re
plied he was responsible for it. Then,
upon an earnest protest that it was an
unnecessary destruction of a tin* shade
tree, he remarked that Mayor Callaghan
had ordered all the trees interfering
with the gas lights to be cut down, amt
that tree bad to go. The two execu
tioners were visited by the Street Com
missioner's “foreman," and the people
who stood about were informed that tbe
order was to cut it down and take It to
the "bat cave.” The work ofdestructieii
was completed. Thia splendid tree, one
of the finest on this sylvan-shaded street,
bad stood for a quarter of a century or
more, a blessing and a pleasure to the
world; its mighty arms bad played with
a thousand storms; its graceful shade bad
been sought by man and brute through
out many summers; it was the favorite
resting spot for the tired teamster, while
hundreds of children had loitered be
neath it daily; it gave a pleasant and
comfortable look to the surrounding
cottages; but it stood in the way of the
city administration, ana His Honor, tlie
Mayor, gave a magnificent wave of bis
iiand to his burly Street Commissioner
to cut down the trees, and tbe Sheet
Commissioner waved to his “foreman,”
and the “foreman” tn turn ordered the
tree to be cut down and hauled like a
malefactor to the "bat cave.”
“It is the first time such a thing has
been done without action of tbe City
Council” remarked one citizen. "Have
we a City Council?” asked another citi
zen. Well, of course, we have a legal
quorum of that body, but with what
contempt would they entertain a com
plaint about the cutting down of ashade
tree! The magnificent gentleman who
represents Florea street is too much oc
cupied with his success in proving to
the public that his management of
tbe city finances in taking the trust
funds to pay otl current expenses
was a brilliant bit of management,
whicb his successor seems to be unable
to comprehend ; it was evidently a mis
take that the name of our ex-Mayor was
not placed in Cleveland's grab bag for a
big place in the Treasury Department.
What would he care for the Flores street
hackberry? And tbe ambitious gentle
man from tbe Third Ward for instance,
who has always had his eye on the
Mayor's seat, would regard the falling of
a fly into a toddy he happened to be
stirring a greater misfortune than tbe
felling of tbe Flores street hackberry!
Then how little sympathy can we ex
pect ;from that wise ;and ambitious
body, tbe City Council.
Upon business streets it has become
necessary in large cities to compel the
removal of all hanging signs in order to
prevent the miscellaneous obstruction of
the highway, but upon residence streets
the planting of trees has become a part
of tbe city work. How is it in our city ?
Our business streets are obstructed from
sidewalk to roofs with all manner of
stands and signs—even signs are swing
ing across tbe streets; our squares are
made the nightly scene of tbe rudest
and most unsightly cooking and eating
business tolerated in any civilized city.
Our city officials can find plenty to do in
removing street obstructions in the busi
ness part of the city instead of making
firewood of the shade trees in onr resi
dence streets.
Mayor Callaghan and his Street Com
missioner have cut a deep scar in tbe
sky on North Florea street which will
not be obliterated very soon. DRfin.
An Appropriate Present.
A few weeks ago, while on a visit to
the Laureles ranch, in Nueces county,
Messrs. Edwin E. Wilson, of Kansas
City, and A. W. Gifford, of tbe Light,
killed a very tine, large specimen of
Mexican bald eagle, which was brought
to this city and stuffed. For the past
few days It has been on exhibition in tbe
Light office show window, but was to
day sent by express to the City of Mex
ico to Sr. General Don Pedro Hinojoso,
Minister of War of the Republic of Mex
ico, as a testimony of tbe high regard
in which General Hinojoso is held by
the above gentlemen. It is all the more
appropriate coming from the Laureles
ranch, which was formerly tbe property
of the father of General Hinojoso. This
specimen was one of tbe finest ever cap
tured of that rare and noble bird.

Mr. W. J. Scanlan, the talented Irish
man, will appear at Turner Hall shortly
in the new Irish drama. "Sbane na-
Lawn.” Mr. Auguste Pitou. the man
ager for Mr. Scanlan, recently obtained
Permission from George W. Childs, of
'hiladelpliia, to photograph the harp
used by the poet. Thomas Moore.
"The harp, 1 ' said Mr. Pitou, is 21
inches high, and is what is known as
the knee instrument. There are only a
few of the strings remaining, but at the
base is a small bundle of them tied
there by the poet with a faded green
ribbon. In the days of bis greatest tri
umphs, as poet and singer, it went with
him to all the homea where he was so
heartily welcomed. A broad band of
green silk is fastened to the back, and
was used to put over the poet's shoul
der while he played. The instrument
is dark-green, and about tbe edges is a
piece of gold inlaid work representing
the shamrock. After obtaiuing Mr.
Child's permission, 1 took the harp to
F. Gutekunst and had two sizes of the
photographs made. The larger will be
distributed by Mr. Scanlan to clubs and
societies, while tbe smaller size will be
given away as a souvenir of the play.
Shane na-Lawn. It wasexpressly stated
by the owner of the harp that no
copies of the photograph were to
be sold, and it will be copyrighted.
On the top of tbe Instrument is a brass
plate, on which is inscribed: “F. Egan,
50 Dawson street, Dublin, harpmaker,
by special appointment, to His Majesty
George IV., and to the royal family.”
In tbe upper left hand corner are tbe
arms of George IV. Mr. Scanlan, in
speaking of the harp, said: “It is of
great interest to all Irishmen, as well as
all admirers of tbe poet Moore, to have
a picture of his own instrument, and it
is to this end that we have worked so
hard to give those who come to see our
Irish play something to remind them of
Ireland's greatest poet.” A large and
handsome photograph of the harp will
be presented by Mr. Scanlan to any Irish
society, to be hung in its lodge room,
whose officers shall make application
for the same In writing.

There will be a grand parade in the

A Western Monopoly.
Umi ago. February 19.—Samuel W.
Allarton. a prominent shipper of live
stock, addressed a long communication
to tbe local press to-day, taking issue
with the dressed beef shippers for ob
jecting to the new east bound freight
laritf. Ha says the trunk line roads have
found, under the rates In force the past
year, that the three great firms interest
ed in the dressed beef trade, Armour.
Swift and Hammosd. have been grow
ing io such an extent at the expense of
tbe live cattle industry, that it was only
a question of time when they would not
only control the railroads, but producers
and consumers of beef as well Allerton
maintains that if live cattle ehipnera
were thus allowed to be driven out of
business, the trio named would have a
monopoly greater than the Standard Oil

The King
As tbe heart is tbe chief of all tbe
human organs, so a medi Ine whicb will
keep it in order may justly be called the
•King of Medicines." This is what
Mr. George D. Spangler, of Harrisburg,
Ohio, calls Brown’s Iron Bitters. He
writes that for months he was suffering
from heart disease. The beat physi
cians failed to cure tbe difficulty. After
using one bottle of Brown’s Iron Bitters
he says: “I feel like a new man, and 1
judge another bottle will fully destroy
tbe dreadful disease.” It also cures
dyspepsia, indigestion, etc.
