WELCOMED HOME.
The Tooeka Delegates Return to
San Antonio.
About one hundred persons met in ।
the court house last Saturday evening
to welcome the deep water delegates
and hear their report. The city head
was conspicuously absent. L. Grot-
haus called the meeting to order and
Sam Maverick was elected chairmau.
Hon. A. W. Houston was called I
upon toaddress the meeting and gave
a resume of the work done at Topeka i
which as has been previously set '
forth in the Light was a reaffirmation
of the demand for deep water where
it could be soonest obtained and at
least cost.
President Lott of the S. A. P. fol-
lowed with a strong endorsement of
the work of the San Antonio dele-
gates. He also dwelt upon the lack
of push shown by this city in not pre-
senting herself at Topeka with statis-
। tics or statements of some kiud to
! make herself felt as a community bid-
ding tor notice. That she was dis-
tanced by Galveston and Dallas and
I Fort Worth in properly advertising
herself abroad.
Messrs. King and Barnard followed
President Lott the former speaking
of the dignified aud able personality
of the convention ind of the effective-
ness of prohibition at Topeka. The
hospitality of the Topekans was at-
tended to by Mr. Barnard as also the
care of Galveston in flanking its dele-
gation with a powerful lobby.
.At the close of the addresses the
following resolution presented by G.
L. Grotnaus and seconded by N.
Mackey was unanimously adopted :
“Be it resolved that the grateful
acknowledgement of our people is due
j to our representatives to the Topeka
| convention for their earnest and ef-
[ ficient endeavors in behalf of Aransas
i Pass harbor.
Wolfson’s Opening Day.
This day has been an unusually
bright one for Wolfson. The cool air
and vivid sunshine were most favor-
able to a v.sit and on no previous oc-
casion has there been such a crowd of
shoppers to greet his “opening day”
or so many to congratulate him on
his unrivaled attractions. Never
were his departments so replete with
all that the most critical taste and
goad judgment demands aud in the
display of these fabrics this princely
house has exceeded all previous at-
tempts. Everything to delight the
eye and charm the taste is here dis-
played. In dress goods with trim-
mings to match all shades of color and
varieties of patterns in combination
robes of all grades; in millinery that
leaves nothing iu shape quality or
style unrepresented; in laces and em-
broideries such as only a delicate
taste will truly appreciate; in fact in
each of the varied departments of this
unequalled establishment Wolfson
has arranged a display that must be
seen to be appreciated either in its
variety or completeness. Ladies you
will find nothing ever shown in this
city so well worthy your attention as
this opening diplay of the greatest dry
goods dealer in Texas To see will be
to admire.
NOCTURNAL FREEBOOTERS
Wno Stole $3OO Very Easily From
a Society's
Treasurer Gilieva of the Mexican
Union Benevolent society told a
strange story at the police station
Sunday morning at 3 o’clock. He
rushed in and said he had just been
robbed of $3OO of tHe union’s funds at
liis residence west of the San Pedro
and told how he was called out of
bed by a knocking at his front door.
Answering the summons he was con-
fronted by three men with masks
over their faces formed of handker-
chiefs tied over their heads up to
their eyes. Two had long knives
which gleamed in the bright moon-
light and the other had a club with
which he gave Mr. Gilieva a terrible
blow on the head. They told him to
give up the fuuds as they knew he
had them. He gave the money up
and they departed. Strange io say
Mrs. Gilieva did not hear anything
of the occurrence nor did she awake
at the time. A small abrasion of the
skin upon his forehead is all Mr.
Gilieva has to show for the blow ou
the head.

A Good Presentation.
Duncan Bradley Harrison and his
really good supporting company pre-
sented the “Paymaster” at the Grand
opera house last night to an audience
of fourteen hundred of San Antonio’s
population numbering among them a
large majority of the elite of the city.
Of the drama it may be said it is a
very strong one having beautiful
scenery aud the usual love plot and
villainy but the hero is not put to»so
much trouble surmounting the vil-
lain’s snares as is usual. Mr.
Thornton made such a good villain
however that one of the gods shouted
to the hero at the climax to “Hit
him!” Mr. Harrison as the Pay-
master did some fine work aud Miss
Ida Ward as “Moyna” came next to
him in point of excellence. Miss Doug-
lass as the mother of the Paymaster
carried the major part of her lines
well but tailed to well portray the in-
sanity part the defect being that
she held her eyes riveted on one spot
in the dome all the time. Mr. Browne
Miss Alliston and Mr. O’Brien were
also prominent in their good acting.
The four children of Adjutant Hard-
ing were excellent in their acting
although they were supers being the
following little girls of the city: Kittie
and Jessie Arrington Ida Lipps and
Dollie Tucker. The Paymaster is re-
peated tonight.
