construction a fact that has been
suspected for some time. The plans
of certain of our new vessels have
been based on English designs but
In every case the frames have been

SARAH WHIPPED THE LAWYER.
The Widow of Judge Terry Again
Before the Public.
Fresno Cal. November 19.—Sarah
Althea Terry is before the public
again and this time she came with a
parasol In her hand which she
smashed over the head of Lawyer
N. C. Caldwell after slapping his
face.
The trouble grew out of the wind-
ing up of the estate of the late Judge
Terry. Caidwell Is attorney for the
executor and Sarah fancies they are
trying to cheat her out of her share.
On Saturday last she took exception
to some words of Caldwell in an argu-
ment in court. He alluded to her as
“that woman” in a' very offensive
way. Caldwell is a six-foot Texan.
Sarah waited for him in the window
and when he passed she first slap-
ped his face wiih a resounding smack
and then raised her sun-protector and
smashed it on the lawyer good and
hard. He prevented a repetition of the
blow and applied a coarse epithet to
her. The scene attracted a large
crowd and Mrs. Terry left the build-
ing with some of that fury raging in
her that she attributes to a
wronged woman. The news spread
and created a sensation which was
intensified when Sarah swore out a
warrant and caused Caldwell’a ar-
rest for disturbing the peace. This
is tbe second encounter between the
two and the chances favor a big
round-up which will create a sensa-
tion.
Mrs. Terry claims Caldwell is In
love with her and in spite of the fact
that he is a married manhe has been
persecuting her. She claims to have
in her cottage a lot of silly love letters
which she received from him and she
threatens to produce them in court
and let the public know what sort of
a letter writer the lawyer is when he
drops phraseology and indicts a ten-
der missive. Caldwell declares Mrs.
Terry is in love with him and that
the aforesaid love is positively mak-
ing life a burden to him. He de-
clares she has no love letters from
him.
Mrs. Terry is in a terrible state of
mind and serious consequences are
feared by those familiar with the dif-
ficulty between the two.

Appointed—Work Cut Ont —
Meeting to Perfect Or-
ganization Called.
The meeting of citizens called at
the Grand opera house last night—to
consider the best means of effective
organization for furthering the inter-
ests of San Antonio properly placing
her advantages before the country
and developing all her resources—-
was called to order at 8 o’clock by
Manager Mullaly who had generous-
ly placed the opera house at the dis-
posal of tbe citizens for the purposes
of tbe meeting.
After some remarKs as to the object
of the call Mr. Mullaly suggested the
postponement of the meeting owing
to the absence of so many at the lec-
ture of Henry George in Rische’s
Opera house. Dr. Fisher moved post-
ponement but this motion having
been discussed at length and it ap-
pearing that the general sentiment
was adverse thereto the doctor with-
drew his motion and a temporary or-
ganization was effected with Captain
Schramm as chairman And Messrs.
C. 8. Eastman and L. A. Heil as sec-
retaries.
On motion of W. 8. Messmer a com-
mittee of seven was appointed on plan
of organization. This committee was
afterward increased to eleven and as
thus constituted was announced by
the chair as follows: W. 8. Messmer
E. B. Alling J. W.MagillG.B. John-
ston Bam Maverick T. H. Zandereon
Jay E. Adams G. H. Martin T. W.
Mullaly G. W Russ H. B. Andrews.
To these by request of committee
the name of Ctfpt. Schramm was
added.
Mr. Messmer requested that the
name of Gen. Russ c r Col. Anlrews
head the committee but his request
was set aside the committee being
appointed for preparatory work only.
T. W. Mullaly and G. H. Martin
pledged themselves to canvass the
city and drum up a full opera house
at the adjourned meeting before whom
tbe plan of organization Is to be
presented and they were appointed
a committee for that purpose. The
meeting then adjourned to meet In
the Grand opera house Tuesday
evening Nov. 25th at which time the
report of the committee will be sub-
mitted.
The committee is called to meet at
Mr. Magill’s office4o7 Houston street
this evening at 7 p. m. and all mem-
bers of that committee are expected
to be present.
There were about one hundred pres-
ent in the opera house last evening
and there was manifested an earnest
desire to organize wisely and so as to
thoroughly enlist the great body of
our citizens in the work of advertising
and developing the resources of San
Antonio. The meeting was a thor-
oughly business one. There was no
buncombe but an ardent desire to get
to work at once and in the most effec-
tive way. In numbers and spirit the
last night’s meeting was in marked
contrast to many that had been pre-
viously held and gave encouraging
promise of definite results.

Henry George’s Discourse On Sin-
gle Tax Last Night.
The world is filled with individuals
who would give the last copper or
who would gladly foot miles to hear
a discourse by an acknowledged
leader on some topic which holds
sway over their minds and no doubt
Turner hall held every such enthusi-
last in Bexar county last night when
the great Henry George of “Progress
and Poverty” fame addressed a fair
and very enthusiastic audience on
bis famous topic “Single Tax.”
Around the distinguished agitator
of enconomic liberty sat the com-
mittee of citizens that had been ap-
S tinted to receiveeliim. Judge J. H.
cLeary stepped to the front and in
aneat appropriate speech introduced
the speaker.
Mr. George dropped ail prelimin-
ary remarks and immediately touch-
upon his theory of Single Tax.
“By single tax” began the speaker
in defining the topic “we mean one
single taxor better one single source
of taxation.” The single tax men
would abolish all taxes whatever
on labor wealth and improvements
and would levy all taxes on land
values.
It is not the levying of a tax on
land so much land would bring so
much taxes regardless of its situa-
tion but it is the tax on tbe value of
the laud on account of its fertility
and situation in regard to the centres
of population that single tax men
wish to establish. Tbe object of the
tax Is to make mere land holding-
not land using unprofitable. It
would make it a bad investment for
a man to hold millions of dollars
worth of land unused and unim-
proved consequently he would have
to dispose of what he had no need
for and the final result would be a
more uniform settlement of the coun-
try not such great masses huddled
together in certain spots and other
portions of country so sparsely settled
as we now find them.
Then one single tax on land would
be the easiest and most practical way
of assessing the people and to intro-
duce the theory it would only be nec-
essary to abolish all the tax ofi every-
thing except the value of land and
raise the ansessment on the same.
The lecture throughout was inter-
esting and instructing and was re-
ceived with considerable enthusiasm.
After the speaker had finished ho
announced that he was in the habit
of answering any questions put to him
and then commenced an interesting
conversation between the lecturer
and members of his audience. A
number of questions as to the practa-
bility of his theory were asked and
answered after which the speaker
retired.
His Wile Missing.
T. Smith bricklayer of
was in the city yesterday inquiring
for his young wife and child who he
says was on the train coming from
Fort worth last Sunday when it was
wrecked at Kyle. No trace of tbe
two was found after ‘the accident.
Col. Ropes’ Lecture.
Col. E. H. Ropes president of the
Port Ropes Company now operating
for deep water at Corpus Christi is
billed for a lecture at the Grand Opera
house this city Thursday evening
Nov. 20. His subject is “deep water”
and the colonel who is a delightful and
interesting speaker is well posted on
his theme. He will boom deep water
for all it is worth and make you fairly
see the shipping passing through
Ropes Pass.’ A full house should greet
the lecturer.
Back to Jail.
Peter Lippe the fellow who falsely
accused a Bohemian hotel waiter of
theft had him incarcerated for a
month in Jail and while there made
away with his little 8-year old bod
and all the father’s money was
brought back yesterday from Bt.
Louis and is now in jail. The boy
will be given to the father. Yester-
day the little fellow remained in tbe
jail where with his drum marbles
and other playthings he soon became
tbe favorite and playmate of the
jailers.
All Should Help a Little.
How to attract population and
capital to Ban Antonio is Just now
the problem which her citizens are
called on to solve. We have Just
grounds for being proud of tbe past
growth of Ban Antonio but the ques-
tion tor consideration is shall her
growth stop now or go forward with
increased momentum? All our citi-
zens we feel sure sincerely desire
to see Ban Antonio quadruple both
its population and its wealth—all
are agreed as to that point; but
when we come to discuss and settle
the best means of promoting this
desirable result differences spring
up and this want of unanimity of
sentiment and concert of action par-
alyses our efforts. We should act
unitedly and heartily. Every man
should give according to his means
to an advertising fund. All should
aid in drawing population and capital.
