A NEW INTERPRETATION.
“Vox Populi” they used to say
It meant the voice of God
Butin these strange election times
It sounds so very odd.
Old time however always brings
All things to proper level
Therefore we say “Vox Populi”
Means “Voices of the Devil.”
11. R.-T.
“Oh Gawge” she sighed as she
turned her radiant face up to his: “tell
me darling tell me do you love me
for my money or for what I am really
worth’?” “Why sweet” he fondly
replied drawing her very near to him
“for what you are really worth of
course.” “Bless you for those words.”
And she nestled in his loving arms.
"By the way dear” asked Gawge
and he playfully fondled her diamond
earrings “ah —what are you really
worth?”—Toledo Blade.

Press Opinions on the Revision.
Paris February 15. —The oppor-
tunist and moderate journals com-
menting on the vote in the chamber
of deputies yesterday on the motion
to indefinitely postpone the debate
on the bill for revision of the consti-
tution say a carte blanche has been
given Prest. Carnot to exercise perfect
liberty in the construction of the new
cabinet and to form one according to
his own choice. The radical papers
assert after M. Floquet’s overthrow by
the opportunists no republican con-
centration is possible. The conserva-
tive and Boulangerist organs claim
that the dissolution of the chamber
of deputies is now more than ever
necessary. The chamber they say.
can no longer be relied upon.
Anarchy and the Pulpit.
Chicago Ills. Feb. 15.—Meeting
of English speaking socialists was
held last night for the purpose of or-
ganizing the “Central Educational
society” to agitate the principles of
socialism. Rev. Dr. Silence of the
Union Tabernacle church spoke on
the need of the agitation. He asserted
he his wife and his girl were social-
ists and that his church was open for
socialistic meetings. He recommend-
ed that the committee be appointed to
wait on other pastors of the city and
ask them to allow socialists to ho'd
meetings in the house of worship.
Thus he said pastors would be
forced to take a position on this ques-
tion. Tommy Morgan a socialist of
some local prominence said the peo-
ple owned schools and public build-
ings and they ought to be open for
their use. Schools were not used in
the evening. It was agreed the so-
ciety should agitate the hour move-
ment. The next step in this direction
will be to organize working girls.
The Murder of Chas. Chefine.
Alexandria Minn. February 15.—
John Lee was hanged here at 10
o’clock this morning for the murder
of Charles C’heline at Brendon Minn.
on the night of July 19 1888. Exec-
utive clemency saved Martin Moe
who was to be hanged with him from
a similar fate. Martin Moe was a
sort of “fighting Charlie” always
eager for a quarrel. John Lee had a
long standing feud with Charlie
C’heline over the girl Lee was in 10/e
with. Ou Saturday night Aloe and Lee
came to town and began drinking and
for the next two days they kept up
their carousing. Tuesday’ morning
Lee met C’heline and they had an al-
tercation. That forenoon Lee and Moe
purchased pistols saying they in-
tended to hunt Gophers. During the
afternoon and evening they were
staggering around town declaring
that some one was going to die that
night. About 11 o’clock C’heline was
walking down the lower end
of the main street of the little town; a
short distance away were Leeand Moe
suddenly Moe exclaimed “There’s
your man give it to him” and with-
out a word of warning he stepped up
to C’heline and shot him through the
head. He was arrested that night
but Moe was not found until next
morning. A few days ago Lee made a
confessiondeclaring Aloe free from ac-
tual participation in the murder.

THE BOSTON QUINTETTE.
A Rare Musical Treat Attended by
But a Small Audience
Last Night.
A small audience attended the con-
cert given at the Grand opera house
last night by the Boston Mendels-
sohn Quintette and it is a deplorable
fact as Ban Antonio has long been re-
garded as a musical center and has
the reputation abroad of containing
more musical connoisseurs to the
square inch than any other city this
side of the Alississippi. This must all
tie taken back now San Antonio must
take a back seat. Her people did not
come out last night and this must be
taken as a guarantee that all the cri-
tics have either left town or were not
here in the first place. The Mendels-
sohn Quintette is known here and
has a reputation second to none in
the country as a combination
of artists of the first class
and last night in the rendition
of their very difficult programme they
showed themselves certainly masters
of their various instruments. Their
music is of great range and in all of
it there is music as well as art. The
clarionette solo of Mr. Thos. Ryan
was one to be heard only once in a
lifetime and elicited a storm of ap-
plause and an encore was called for
but the old gentleman refused to re-
spond.
The violoncello solos of Herr Hek-
king were the features of the evening
and were encored again and again.
He is master of this cumbersome
looking instrument and elicited
music of the rarest sort. He has
fine technique but does not sacrifice
his expression to produce it.
Another feature of the evening was
the brilliant execution of Herr Wil-
helm Ohliger on the violin. This
gentleman also was applauded aad
encored.
Aliss Alice Ryan the soprano
prima-donna of the company did not
appear being a sufferer from a bad
cold that rendered her very hoarse.
The programme was rendered as
follows:
Quintette in C Schubert
Clarionette Solo Chant du Soir

Fant Rise Caracterestique for Violon-
cello Gervais

Yes It is Rainins.
“Did you ever know such a raiuy
season in your life” asks one citizen
of another and the answer is “no.”
The oldest inhabitant who has usual-
ly very great imagination cannot re-
member such times. This is a good
thing but the only danger is getting
too much of a good thing. Then there
is the chronic liar who set abroad the
absurdity that “it never rains iu
Texas” and who like the man
who hit Billy Patterson judiciously
conceals his identity. The fact is
that Texas has her dry years as well
as her wet years; her lean years as
well as her fat years and the wise
man is he that out of his abundance
provides for his scarcity. This can be
well done for it is an ascertained fact
that water can be procurred in Texas
and that is all that has been ever
wanted to make the Lone Star state
an El Dorado. All it requires is
science and cash and if the stockman
and ranchman will call upon the F.
F. Collins’ Alanufacturing company
West Houston street he will see that
this can be done and that by investing
in this way he will receive a good di-
vidend on the investment.
How Rain Is Predicted.
An old citizen says that there is one
invaluable sign as to rain that is
when the moon lias a wide halo
around it and the evening star is
clouded atmospherically. A Light
man has recently noticed these indi-
cations and has found them in all
cases correct.
Cupid’s Messengers.
Postoffice clerks report that the
Valentine season this year has been
hard upon them for many more Val-
entines have been passed through the
mails than was ever known. Some of
these were ot a costly and massive
character but there was a huge quan-
tity of those cheap satirical foolish
Valentines which especially to the
fair sex causes much pain and some-
times great mortification.

Air. Adolph Huebner a printer em-
ployed by the San Antonio Express
company and Aliss Annie Thomas-
sin a young lady of this city will be
married May 11th next. This is the
romantic sequel to the accident on
the river back of the Express office
about two years ago when a row boat
in which Aliss Thomassin and others
were riding capsized and this young
lady was rescued by Mr. Huebner.
