RACING MATINEE
BY DRIVING CLUB
A very good crowd was In attend
ance at the San Antonio Driving Club
matinee yesterday afternoon. The
number of ladies present was very
noticeable. Four races were 09,-thq
program, but only two filled —the half
mile trot and the three-quarter mile
pace. Sam C. Bell officiated as judge,
and William 811mm and Albert Bock
were time keepers.
Lutie K. was the victor in the pac
ing race, winning the second and third
heats. Lillie W. wen the first heat
The second heat of this race was in
deed a fine race. Lillie W. and Struble
going neck and neck through the back
stretch. The latter, however, took the
lead at the three-quarter pole. Lillie
W. made a brdkk heading in the home
stretch. giving second position to
Little K.. who carried this place until
twenty feet of the wire, when she
sprung a great burst of speed and
beat Woodward's horse by a neck.
Little K. was the victor in the pac
good race the last heat, the former
again winning. Lillie W. acted bad by
breaking repeatedly the last two
heats.
The trotting race between the young
sorrel colt by Paola, and brown mare
May. owned by Mr. Muegge. was the
last race. Tbe, colt won easy. This
colt Is only twenty-three months old.
with the best trotting prospects ever
seen here, He is owned by one of th"
club members. The price of $500 has
been refused for him.
Following is the result of the races:
Pacing race, three-quarter mile-
Lively Jim (I. L. Furjner) 4-3-dr: Lil
lie W. (0. J. Woodward) 1-4-3; Lutie
K. (T. A. Williams I 2-1-1: Struble (D.
J. Woodward) 3-2-2. Time. 1.45. 1.43
1-2. 1.50.
Trotting race, one-half mile—Jean
G (Splann) l-l; May (Theo. Muegge)
2-2. Time. 1.1'9 3-4, 1.18 1-2.
Considering Uie exceedingly high
wind that was blowing, the time made
by the racers was very good.
POISONING THE SYSTEM.
It is though the bowels that the body
is cleansed of impurities. Constipation
keeps these poisons in the system, caus
ing the headac he,dullness and melancholia
at first, then unsightly eruptions and
finally serious illness unless a remedy
is applied. DeWitt’s Little Early Ri*
sers prevent this trouble by stimulating
the liver and promote ea?y, healthy ac
tion of the bowels. These little pills d«
not violently but by strengthening the
bowels enable them to perform their own
work. Never grips or distress. James
Clavin, C. Schasse, Wm. Appmanm

TEXAS DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
The neeeaaity for the recent Demo
cratic convention at Galveston is not ap
patent to the student of Texas politics.
The nomination of a tiiket, which had
lieen cookeil anil dried long lief ore the
primaries were held, makes this action of
the convention almost farcical, unless it
be that the rules iff the party required
that twelve hundred delegates should
meet to go through a line of action laid
down for them by their bosses.
However in this gathering together ot
Democratic representations from all ci
ties and villages of Texas, principally
from the latter, it would have lieen a
most commendable act on the part of
that body, if in the preparation of the
party’s platform q few rules of "onduct
for the Texas Cr»ugreip.iouitl irpresent*
lives had been laid down Tin* records
of the pak< -nasion of Congress show
such a degree of aseininU v on the part: of
these individuals. thn< it is more then
evident something ought to lie done to
save thia great »tnte Iroin the ridicule
now heaped u|Hm her; Of course the
conduct qfiothq gentleman.i iiwni Bexar
ciwmty i« excepted, He lias been wise
hnough to be heard only in a respectful
way on publie questq>r« ■ of--moment.
Coming from the larges- i-ity of the. state
he knew mankind well enough to know
hia proper place in il* running of the
nation. But this eassot he said of his
confreres from the state. They all
seemed imbped with an insane, desiie to
parade themselves Hietm-y the 'ounby at
every opportunity, especially the repre
sntative who for the first time in hia
life had escaped from hie rural surround
ings. The result has been that on all
sets of importance to- tlie welfare of
the country, the speeelies and votes Af a
large majority of the Texan representa
tives were always with the opposition.
■This is the reprehensible part of their
conduct. ’ ■
Texas is too great and too grand, that
it should be allowed to any man or set
of men to place her in a false position.
The age is progressive, and it cannot be
expected that the man from the confines
of h country village, with the hayseexi
still in his hair is going to be able to
assume slieh dignity and evince such
wisdom as the honor of so great n State
demands. That last episode in the Sen
ate, where one of the Texas representa
tives forgot tlie honor of hi« State and
imagined himself in his own little coun
try bar room, was a fib culmination to
his preceding line of conduct. Why
should Texas in all tier greatness need
that a single one of lier representatives
should pattern after the conduct of nny
representative or senator of any other
slate, especially if representing unworth
ily?
Hence the lost opportunity of thia
great laxly of Texas Democrats. With
the congressional distrii'ta so jerrymand
cred as to make them possibly Mire for
ihe parly, It would have lieen a most
titling act nn their part to have em
bodied in the party's platform a code
of conduit for the congressional delega
tion and senators that would have made
the honor of Texas safe in Congress and
enabled her always to proudly hold un
her head, nnd stand on an equality with
her sister stales in the respects of the
nation nnd of the woild.

When tbe Earl of Carlisle became
Lor-.l Lieutenant and the position of
court physician had to hi* filled, a Dr.
H s was recommended for the ap
pcintnent, but by * strange hiumlri
the oflietal letter’ confirming it leached
an it her Dublin medico of the samo
name. The revocation of the appoint
ment was iinpos-iblc but the doctor ori
gHiilly marked out for it wa-s also up
pointed ec-urt physician. He was a man
of great vibanity. The doctor who had
lieen mistaken for him had very far
from courtly manners. The Dublin wits
at once saw their opportunity, and nick
name ! them “Silky H a” and "Sulky

I think it was the same good father,
who observing that regular attendance
at n la*nt mission had done nothing to
reform one of his parishoners, told him
so. and asked him tbe reason of it.
"Ah! Father right enough, but tbe
morals hate nW.”
On another occasion this priest was
called upon to marry a man of whom
he knew nothing to a girl of his con
gregation. On investigation he found
the would-I** hrble-groom’n knowledge
of the Catholic faith very limited.

The acid poisons that produce rheumatic pains form in the blood, and are
distributed through the system, and lodged in the arms, shoulders, hands,
back and feet, or other parts of the body—resulting often in total disability,
A permanent cure of Rheumatism can be effected only by a complete cleans
ing of the blood, and no other remedy so surely accomplishes this as S. S. 3.
It neutralizes the acid effects, purifies and invigorates the stagnant blood,
and the gritty particles are washed out or dislodged .
by the new rich blood, and relief comes to the
pain-nicked sufferer. S. S. S. leaves no morbid,
irritating matter in the blood to reunite and produce Kjl
another attack, but expels every atom of it from
the system. 8. S. S. is a purely vegetable remedy, and does not impair
the digestion or general health like alkali or potash remedies. •
