Musings from a Club Room Window on a
Rainy Day.
Editor San Antonio Light.
On historic ground, within the sacred
radius of the blood-stained Alamo, is a
rudely built speaker's stand. This spot
was once wet by ibe blood of heroes,
and the orator who stands upon it is ex
pected to become inspired, hence it is a
favorite place for the erection of speak
er's stands and circus bill boards. The
stand in question was built in the night,
and very few persons know anything
about It; some think it means Moody
and Sankey without tickets; others, that
a fresh invasion of a patent medicine
fakir is threatened, and others that it
has something to do with the coming
city election. To settle all speculations
1 will state, fer 1 know it was intended
as the grand stand from which Hi*
Honor, the Mayor, was lo review
the parade on Washington's birthday,
and of course, make a speech. The rain
fell and the parade did not take place,
nor the speecb. but the "grand" stand,
surrounded by a sea of municipal mud.
remains faithful to its post—eloquent in
Its silence.
It Js a dreary outlook, as I view II
from the club room wi'dow; the slant
ing rain beating down over the uneven
surface of the square, worn and scarred
by the storms of a century; the little
bronze drinking fountain, so ostenta
tiously erected in the auti-Brackenridge
Water-works days, now a mln serving
as a receptacle for file wood used by the
tamale vendors, and the aforesaid
speaker's stand in front of the Alamo;
only a solitarj' back stands out in the
riitiless storm; how bleak, bare and for
ildding the scene seemed as 1 gazed out
of the window of the comfortable club
room. I mentally contrasted the ele
gant appointments which surrounded
me, and the muddy waste below —with
out a tree, a grass tuft, or a graveled
walk—nothing but mud puddles, a
broken fountain, and the stand, with its
unpainted rough plank, in sight! I
thought if only our citizens were as par
ticular abeut their outdoor comfort and
appearances as they are indoors, what a
change there would be in the aspect
from the club room window.
My elegant friend, C. B. (champion of
the widow) handed me a Habana. the
only variety we club men smoke, and 1
sat and smoked and mused on the cheer
less prospect from the window, and my
own comfort. What a gay old time the}’
must have had on Washington’s birth
day, after all—l mean the ghosts of the
heroes of the Alamo; Washington, of
course, held a reception, a sort of club
affair. the stand being utilized for the
occasion. Davy Crockett remarked as
he was presented to the f. o. h. c.: "Be
sure you’re right then go ahead.’’
Washington bowed a dignified as
sent to the proposition, as much
as to say, that was always my motto,
but I never said so, "cannot tell a lie."
Travis drew his chalk line for all those
to cross who wanted to run away, and
Bowie held bis toothpick between bls
teeth, ready to spring upon the foe.
These were the world’s heroes after all
—they died, uninspired with a selfish
motive, for the cause of liberty and civ
ilization. Let those who live in pleasant
homes within the shadow of the Alamo
throw aside their selfish aims and do
something to redeem the ugliness of our
public squares. "Casino,” remarked my
noble friend, "what will you take?” anil
1 realized that I was almost dreaming.

Editor San Antonio Light
Our honorable Mayor, Bryan Cal
laghan, is a native of our city, and the
youngest man who has yet filled the
office. His elevation to this position is
evidently a misfortune to him, which he
will some day fully realize, if he does
not to do so already. Inexperienced in
public life, he was suddenly placed in a
position requiring experience in public
affairs, mature judgment, and business
ability. Had be been fortunate enough
to have had associated with him a City
Council composed of men capable of un
derstanding the wants of the commu
nity and independent enough to carry
out their convictions, our young chief
executive would have found his path
much smoother, for the reason that bis
inexperience would not have been taken
advantage of and his lack of business
capacity made conspicuous. Nominated
by a convention calling itself Demo
cratic, Mr. Callaghan has to confess
that his election was due largely to the
help be received from Republicans, who
looked upon the contest as between two
Democrats—one ratber old and "moHs
backy," the other ratber young and
green. Once in office Mr. Callaghan
discovers that be must either surrender
to his enemies or entrench hie friends
behind tbe city patronage. He chose
the latter course,and hence we find that
the Mexican population gets the lion's
share of the city offices. Now who can
blame him; he has no hope of making an
administration that will commend itself
to the people at large; his Council, taken
as a whole, Is far below the mark;
while It is bursting with ambitious de
signs upon the throne Itself. There are
two, and possibly more, open candidates
for the Mayoralty in this body, and not
one of them who does not eye the Mayor
on hl* seat with an Inward conviction,
"I would look bigger in his place!" His
predecessor sits in the Council after
ten years’ experience in handling Alder
manic material and manipulating the po
litical machine, his covert enemy and
open opponent upon all matters of muni
cipal controversy. Callaghan’s failure
is tbe chief stock in trade for tbe ambi
tious designs of these plotting Council
men; they hope to climb to power over
his mistakes and failures. When the
Mayor glances around the Board he can
not sincerely say be sees a single friend
ly face; he knows that for policy sake he
is courted and tolerated, but that his
mistakesand bis growing unpopularity
are eagerly made tbe most of by his co
laborers in the city vineyard. And thus
it comes to pass that a young gentleman
of fair ability, of a generous and open
nature, of strict Integrity, and unques
tioned courage, elevated to an ’mport
ant nubile trust, finds bis term of office
coming to a close stamped as a failure,
when In fact, compared with the last
term of bis predecessor, it will bear
favorable criticism. Blunt

Special Telegram to tbe Light
Houston, February 2.—The Houston
Savings Bank failed to open Its doors
this morning at the usual hour, causing
great excitement among citizens anu
business men generally. Developments
show that a petition was tiled last night
fora receiver, which was granted. Dr.
D. F. Stuart being appointed, and
that several heavy depositors drew their
money yesterday. When tbe City Bank
failed last December a heavy run was
made on the Savings Bank, but they met
the run successfully. Tbe officers of tbe
late City Bank are the principal officers
of the Savings Bank. It is estimated the
deposits amount to $250,000.
A Very Bad Man.
Mhmpiiis Tenn.. February 25.—An
Avalanche special from Springfield, Mo.,
sny*: Tbe greatest excitement prevails
over tbe discovery of a foul i urder com
mitted last September. George Graham
is the suspected party. His victim was
bis wife, who came from Fort Wayne,
Ind., via St. Louis, to meet him at
Springfield. He left Springtield with
her and his two children on September
21), but returned two days afterwards
alone. Nothing more was seen of Mrs.
Qrabam The children, however, were
seen on his farm near Brookline, seven
miles from here. He told a lady with
whom his wife stopped that she was not
the mother of the children, but their
aunt. Graham had been divorced from
his wife, owing to ids imprisonment in
the penitentiary in Indiana for horse
stealing. On hi* release, lie again wed
ded her and removed to Kansas. Treat
ing her badly caused a separation, and
she went home to her people in In
diana. Graham then went to Spring-
Held and married lhe niece of
Mr*. Mallar, the great temperance
woman. He lived with Mrs. Gra
ham No. 2 tor a year, when liis where
abouts became known to Mrs. Graham
No. 1. and be met her in St. Louis before
bringing her to springtield. The long
absence from her home at Fort Wayne
of Mrs. Graham, No. 1 caused uneasi
ness among her relatives, and her
brother-in-law, Mr. Breeze, after w riting
many letters to people of this city, came
to Springtield, and though failing to find
her, had Graham arrested for bigamy
and he is now in jail. This was in the
earlv part of last month. Here matters
rested, but detectives of St. Louis, and
Davis and While, of Springtield. began
tlie trace which to-day resulted in find
ing the body of the missing woman,
naked in a dry well 50 feet deep, near
Brookline. A bullet hole was found In
her right breast, which hart perforated
her corset The coroner has gone to tbe
scene of the crime, and if identilication
of the remains is satisfactory, Graham
will be lynched and thus will end the
career of a horse-thief, bigamist and
murderer.
The Labor Situation
Co.xnki.lsvili.k, Fa., February 25.—
Socialistic Hungarians caused more trou
ble in the coke regions this morning. A
crowd of them assembled at Broadford
and marched to Semmit, on the Mount
Pleasant branch, forcing every coke
drawer from work along the route. They
were nearly all armed and tired numer
ous shots in order to intimidate tbe
workers. At Summit and other works
the coke drawers tied through fear of
violence from tbe mob, and in some
cases left the scrapers in hot ovens to
melt, fearing that if they continued to
work the tipple and other buildings at
the works would be destroyed. Tbe
strikers demand an advance oi 10 cents
per oven ins’ead of tbe 10 per cent re
cently granted. At Leiseirring. the men
requested Superintendent Faggart to
discharge a man who bad worked dur
ing the strike. This was refused, and
the men all struck this morning.
The McCormick Strike.
Chicago, February 25.—The strikers
at McCormick’s reaper factory to the
number of about 1000 appeared in tbe
vicinity of the works this morning and
for the tirst time made a display of vio
lence. The foreman of tbe works,
named Ward, and the engineer and gas
and steam fitter were stopped while on
their way to the shops and during a col
loquy revolvers were drawn, but no
shots were tired. They were afterwards
permitted to go to the works. Police
Officer Rowan, who had been sent out
to the works with a good many other
policemen in citizens clothes, to mingle
with the crowd and keep order, was ac
costed by a workman, who demanded to
know what be was doing there. Some
words passed and tbe workman, whose
name is Ernest Stownan, was arrested
and locked up. More police were sent
to the scene, but the crowd In a meas
ure had dispersed.
A Telegram from Socialists.
Paris, February 25.—Socialist mem
bers of the Chamber of Deputies to-day
joined in sending a telegram to '‘British
workmen in the House of Commons,”
proposing a joint international govern
ment in the interest of laboring men.
The main objects of the proposition are
to secure a reduction in tbe hours of
labor; improvement of tbe sanitary con
dition of the workshops; proper limit*
to work required of woman and minor*,
and absolute prohibition against allow
ing children of either sex under 14 yean
ef age to work at all In shops or fac
tories. The telegram suggest* that
British workmen join those of France in
inviting tbe workmen of America and
Europe to send delegates to Congress, to
be held next September, in some place
to be hereafter designated, for the pur
pose of discussing means to "emancipate
the workmen of all countries.”
Grit.
Men of grit are to be admired. Sena
tor Mahone, of Virginia, is one of them.
Grit has won him all his victories. He
weighs only 100 pounds, but 95 of that is
solid backbone. If there is anything in
God Almighty's world that I despise it
is a man with a little, old, cotton string
for a backbone, with a couple of ribs
sewed to It.—[Sam Sones.

RETURNING HOME.
A High-Strung, Disobedient Girl Rejoin
ing Her Parents.
Mr*. Mary F. Wile*, a very pretty
young wife of perhaps 28 year*, tall and
slender, with a little hand and foot and
good figure, was seen yesterday after
noon by a Light reporter, to whom she
told a pitiful story of sorrow and priva
tion. As she relates, she is the daughter
of wealthy parent*, now living In Day
ton, Ohio. She married againat her
parents' wishes a handsome young man
of that city, who was a tort of ne'er-do
well. lie settled down, however, and
started in business, keeping bar. Her
mother soon became reconciled and
presented them with a handsome
house and lot. This wm soon
sold and squandered by her husband,
and they then moved to Texas, settling
at Columbus, where he procured work
on the railroad and worked for awhile
and then they came on to San Antonio.
He worked a little here and earned $3O
and came home one Saturday night and
told her be would give her tome money
the next morning to pay the rent. That
1* the last she saw of him, a* he left that
night. Since then she and her two chil
dren. on* four year* old, the
other born (bortly after his departure,
have been nearly starving, and would
have starved bad it not been for kind
friends and charitable ladies discover
ing her condition and allievatlng tbe
same from time to time with money,
provision* and clothing. By tbe aid of
correspondence between herself and
mother, a reconciliation has at last been
effected, and the mother bade her to
come home. A ticket was purchased for
her and little ones yesterday by these
same kind friends, clothing purchased
and they left for Ohio this morning nice
ly fitted out and happy and rejoicing, g
Mrs. Wiles Is an Intelligent woman,
very proud, and that is the reason her
mouth has been closed ns ;to ber condi
tion to her relatives for these many
year*. She requested the reporter to
thank her kind friends, Mrs. A. H. Ken
nedy and others who so nobly assisted
her through tbe columns of the Liam,
and with tears of gratitude declared she
would always bles* their names.

Washington, February 25.—The sub
stitute for Mr. Reagan's bill to Incorpo

Paris, February 25.—A new kind of
sensation was made in tbe Chamber of
Deputies this afternoon. A strange man
in one of the galleries excitedly drew
a revolver and fired it twice with a
downward aim. and then coolly threw a
letter toward M. Clemenceau. The man
was quickly seized and hurried out by
the police. ’ When the excitement bad
subsided, a flattened bullet was found at
the feet of the President of the Chamber.
The prisoner said he was a soldier, who
had been so 111 treated by his superiors
and ignored bv the officers of justice
that he resorted to the desperate expe
dient of creating a sensation in the
Chamberof Deputies to secure attention
to his grievances. Tbe prisoner gave
bis name as Horler, and said he was an
officer in the Ninth Army Corps. He
asserted that the letter which he threw
towards M. Clemenceau contained an
offer to give the government the names
of the betrayers of Metz.
Touaka, Kas., February 25.—V arious
indications here show that the war re
sulting from tbe breaking up of tbe
Trans-continental Association is more
virulent than ever. Tbe probabilities
are that rate* to the Pacitic coast, at
least by the SaataFe. will be much low
er before they are higher. Travel has
considerably fallen off on all lines in ex
pectation of this result, and it i* not
possiole to say when tbe lowest rate will
be reached on the Pacific coast business.
Wheeling, W. V., February 25.—Nail
manufacturers and strikers,' who have
been in conference since yesterday try
ing to compromise the differences, are

amount of standard dollars in the Treas
ury, after deducting the silver certifi

Pittsburg, Pa., February 25.—At a
conference of labor leaders held here last
evening, it was decided to send a repre
sentative committee of workingmen to

the tariff before Congress.
A Time When the Mercury Fell.
‘ Deep in the satin recesses," bis letter
ran, "of this fairy box you will And a

as It were, my sentiments on this joyful
occasion.”
Her heart stood still.
"How beautiful!” she murmured, a*
she took up tbe box. "How simple and
poetic a way of asking me to be his wife,
and *o direct. Ah!” and she kissed the
bluish paper and tenderly united tbe
string.
"I tremble,” she whispered. “Will it
be a diamond, or a ruby, or a ?”
It was neither. It was a napkin ring.
