A Mayor Arrested.
Mayor E. W. Stevens of the thriv-
ing little city of Sedalia Mo. who has
been in this city a few months with
some very fine horse stock for sale
was arrested this morning by police-
man Seffel for driving through a
funeral procession on Commerce
street at the corner of Alamo.
Mr. Stevens had been showing oft
his fine trotter to a gentleman and did
not know of the ordinance against
driving through a funeral procession
hence his mistake.
Branching Out.
Editor E. T. Merriman of the Cor-
pus Christi Caller is in the
city on business. He is making a
bright paper of the Caller and will
soon enlarge and put out a finer and
more metropolitan journal.
.
An Infant Prodigy.
Thomaston (Ga. jboasts of an infant
prodigy in the person of little Archie
the 3 year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. A.
A. Drake. When about 8 months old
some sickness kept him confined to
the house. Amongst other things fur-
nished for his amusement were letter-
blocks and a slate and pencil. In an
almost incredibly short time he learn-
ed the letters of the alphebet by
sight and then learned to make them
upon his slate. Before he was 2 years
old he not only knew and could make
these but could make all the letters
of the deaf and dumb alphabet upon
his fingers and and could understand
them when made by others. He can
glibly and accurately repeat the days
of the week the months of the year
and many other remarkable things
for one so young. His amusement
when passing along the street is to
spell the signs and handbills on the
walls and the display cards in the
windows. Heis a remarkable child
and wonderfully precocious in this es-
pecial direction.
—The fire department will soon begin
working for another excursion or picnic.

Written for the Light.]
At a meeting held at 470 East
Houston street on Monday afternoon
Oct. 10 the» proceedings being pub-
lished in the Express. I noted the
remarks of one of the speakers as
follows:
“He had often thought in times
past that the city should be advertis-
ed as a health resort in winter and
he thought that advertising should
be oonfined to that end. We are not
ready for ten years to speak of San
Antonio as a manufacturing point. If
however it should be presented to
the United States as a winter resort
he thought the wealthy people of the
world would be attracted here not to
make money but to spend it. That
their addition to the city would cause
money to be circulated meant pros-
perity to the poorer and laboring
classes.”
I could not think that there was a
man in San Antonio and a citizen for
quite a number of years who would
utter such views at a public meeting.
And lam glad to note that the gen-
tleman who succeeded the speaker re-
ferred to above entertained views
entirely opposite as to manufactures
and whose utterances will have their
Influences on all who would have San
Antonio a city dwelling in population
at the rate of five thousand per quar-
ter and the death of moss backs.
Yes we are ready for manufactures
now. we have the cotton the wool
the hides &c. &0. and the capital is
here and more will come when we
make up our minds to help ourselves.
I have been talking it for over five
years but what is the use of a wage
worker talking unless he has a mon-
ied influence to back him. We have
the facilities required and the will
will make the way.
The wealthy people of the north to
be attracted here not to make mon-
ey but to spend it. If such views
are to meet the eye of the wealthy
people of the north and they will see
it I will not intimate what they
would say but leave to the imagina-
tion of the reader what would be
said. The city or citizens will be glad
to entertain all wealthy visitors and
I will veuture to say that not one
will come who will not be willing
and ready to invest in some industry
when they can see a measure of thrift
among our people.
Manufactures would tend to build
up our waste places as tenement
houses will be needed for the wage
worker and In the place of the adobe
for residences of the well-to to.
We must take care of the wage
workers for they are the bone and
sinew of every country. Not only
shall they have employment but they
must be educated. They give the
casting vote at every election.
