PALLAS LETTER
Dallas Texas Dec. 29 1891.
To the San Antonio Light.
According to announcement the King’s
daughters dined the news boys of Dallas.
Owing to a misunderstanding as to the
date of the dinner many of the little fel-
lows were not present thinking a Christ-
mas dinner meant a dinner on that day.
Those present enjoyed the good things to
eat. as well as the cigarettes for each
youngster was furnished a package of
“Dukes;” whether he smoked or not. he
took the cigarettes aftewards bartering
them off.
The inmates of the jail were furnished
as good a diuner. if not a better one than
many of us poor scribes could afford.
They had turkey and such with salads
potatoes cake and coffeeoranges and ap-
ples; not one or two oranges and apples
but as many as each cared for.
Then Sanger Brothers and Martinez fur-
nished a generous supply’ of tobacco
and Martinez sent his gift of 25c accom-
panied by two cigars to each unfortunate
mortal. The paupers on the poor farm
and the patients in the city hospital were
similarly treated.
After New Year’s day Judge Tucker
will fix the date for the execution of
Roger?. There is another fiend who has
b« en trying to perpetrate unmentionable
offences left the city in time to avoid
swinging. T here were irate fathers on his
trail. He has been waylaying little girls
on the streets wanting to measure them
for bicycles and promising them presents.
The circumstance was reported to the
police by the father of one of the little
girls. The villain who gave his name as
“Smith” was arrested and fined as a
vagrant and ordered to leave. After his
release he made threats to a little girl
who had been forced to
as a witness against him. Papers
found on his person proved his
name to be A. H. Reeves and that he had
been or was then in the employ of the
T. & P. railroad as assistant agent at
Collinsville Texas.
Mrs. Elizabeth Cole wife of Jack Cole
one of the pioneers of Dallas died at her
home near Oak Lawn on the morning of
26th. Mrs. Cole was sixty years old and
had lived in this place forty years.
Tol Tittle who was convicted of cattle
stealing and given two years in the pern
tentiary. has another chance for liberty
the court of appeals having reversed and
remanded his case a/d ho was released
on bond this morning. His bond was
pincert at and a dozen of his friends
many of them large property owners sig-
nified a willingness to sign same.
Judging from the shooting and carv-
ing of human flesh there is a
quantity of bad whisky being
drunk in the place. Walter ilenicksen. a
bar tender charged with assault with in-
tent to murder was arraigned in Judge
Braswell’s court this morning He waiv-
ed examination his bond was fixed at
$2501* which he wasunable to give. Hopes
are entertained for the recovery of Geo.
Kreuger whom he shot.
Geo. Bates who was shot some time
ago by Ed Manning still lingers between
life and death. There is no change in his
condition for the better Manning’s bond
was placed at *2000. In default of fur-
nishing same he Is still in jail.
Jno. Gardner W. J. Woody and G. W.
Montgomery had a cutting scrape in an
East Dallas saloon It is said Gardner
can not re'.over. Woody and Montgomery
are in jail. The hoodlum wagon is kept
pretty busy carrying prisoners to the lock
up.
Hatti Rosa is a great favorite in Dallas;
when she is billed to appear the house
is crowded. Every time she comes
here she is feted by the Elks. She
remembered the Elks of this place last
November by sending a a check for *lOO.
after the lodge sustained a loss by fire.
While here she was entertained by them
in the handsome parlors of their lodge.
Saint Patricic’s church came near hurn-
jng down last Thursday. While the
ladies were decorating for Christmas the
loof caught fire from a defective flue.
Aiderman Frank Holland was not
pleased with the courtesies exchanged in
the city council chamber and tendered
his resignation to take effect that day
week. He thanked the council for “their
uniform courtesy’’ and expressed the
hope 1 hat their actions will be more peace-
ful hereafter and more profitable to the
city. These last were fittingly spoken
words Mayor “Bud - ’ Connor finds the
clerical work of the office so arduous that
a stenographer is indispensible and
it is necessary to have one in order to
“maintain the dignity of the office.”
Whew how we do retrench expenses I
“Bud.” would better not have accepted
that $3500 presidency of the fair associa-
tion which took a vast deal of the city’s
time if it renders It necessary to employ
an assistant for the honorable gentleman.
« * ♦
Watch Party.
The Trinity M. E. church had every
seat occupied’Thursdav night to take part
in and enjoy the New Year’s watch ser-
vice. Many regrets for past misdoings
and many promises for a better future
w’ere made. The following program was
carried out with great success:
From 9 to 10 Epworth League service
conducted by the president; 10 to 10:30
King's Daughters half hour led by the
president; 10:30 to 11 Sunday school ser-
vice in charge of superintendent; 11 to 12
general church service by the pastor;
12:05 a.m. January 1 1892 New Year’s
greeting.
A Racket Store
Has been opened by Messrs. J. B. Webb

office. where a little of everything is kept
and where you can spend your pennies as
well as your dollars. Give them a call.
HEART FAILURE.
Written for the Light.
Of the many failures of life.
Playing the most important part
None is so frequent and effective.
As the failure of the heart.
’Tis an ailment of modern times.
And a useful article in coroners’ art
Failing to discover’he cause of death.
'Tis attributed to failure of the heart.
A justice ot the peace of a country
town.
Is often called a corpse to view.
Who knows nothing of human anatomy.
This popular sentence comes to his
rescue.
Being puzzled what ailed the deceased
As to cause the soul from body to part
He renders a verdict “Deceased came
to his death.
From failure of the heart.
B. Akstein San Antonio Tex.
PERTINENT PARAGRAPHS.
[by OUR special contributor.]
The first day of the new year has. from
time immemorial been the season for
making resolutions of reformation.
The miser resolves to cease his idola-
trous worship of money and to be chari-
table.
The cross-grain and irritable reVilve to
put a bridle on their tempers and be
pleasant fellows.
The spendthrift resolves to forswear
prodigality and practice economy.
The hard swearer whose conversation
is plentifully interlarded with bl"od-
curdiing oaths resolves to leave off so
vulgar a habit. •
The toper resolves to overcome his
craving for “strong drink” and to totaly
abstain from the use of intoxicants and
become a model of sobriety.
The constitutionally lazy man firmly
resolves that he will turn over a new leaf
and be a pattern of industry.
The libertine resolves to begin a new
life and to live virtuously in future.
The professed Christian resolves to be
something better than a nominal Chris-
tian and to make his actions harmonize
with his creed.
The women also make abundance of
good resolutions on New Year’sday.
All are sincere in this business of
maging good resolutions and conceive
they possess moral grit enough to carry
them out to the letter.
Many have made the same resolutions
ou every New Year's day for the past
twenty years and have failed to carry
them out.
But they feel able to carry them out
this time-they are wiser now. and mean
to be strong and brave—to give tempta-
tion a slap in the face and to tear up old
habits by the roots.
Some of them write out their resolu-
tions so they may brace up their moral
backbone when they feel it is growing
weak.
Old topers sometimes go before an officer
and take an oath not to taste liquor.
The chains of habit are not at all
brittle. •
They are tough and strong as links of
steel.
The good and'reformatory resolutions
made on New Years day fade out of our
memories and habits that "second na-
ture” silently resumes his sceptre over
us and our reform is at an end.
When Niw Year comes again we are
forced to confess to our consciences that
our resolution to reform was not carried
out and that we are no better than we
were years back.
Men who would face a dozen foeswith-
out a particle of fear throw down their
arms and surrender at the command of
habit.
L“t us hope some of the many New
Year resolutions to reform may be faith-
fully carried out.
In the best of us. there is something to
to he amended something to be left off.
P. P. heartily wishes & happy New
Year to one and ail. but then they them-
selves must make the New Year happy.
San'Antonio begins the year 1892. with
a fair prospect of continued growth and
prosperity.
The epidemic of hard times which ha ?
prevailed in all sections of the Union has
affected our city but slightly.
There has been no speculative boom in
re ri estate hut the volume of business
and trade has experienced no material
falling off. such as has befallen other
cities in Texas.
There have been very few business
failures and all of them combined
amounted to an insignificant sum.
So far from having to mourn over a
diminution of her population San An-
tonio can boast of a steady increase dur-
ing the past year.
it is likely that the farmers around San
Antonio profiting bv the lessons of expe-
rience will double their products by an
improved method of tillage and by a di-
versity of crops.
The prosperity of the country that trades
with San Antonio means the prosperity of
our citv.
Let us begin the year 1892 with a united
determination to push forward our beau-
tiful city in the race of progress and pros-
perity.
Let the prosperity of San Antonio be
the goal of every citizen rich and poor.
ECHOES FROM WEST END
West End Jan. 1 1892.
New Year opened bright and beautiful
at West End and 1892 promises to rival
and excel 1891 in improvements here.
Lakeside hotel—Judge Florea’s —Is
looming up grandly beyond are the man-
sions of Messrs. Camp assuming shapes
and recent transfers of West End lots
seem to indicate that we may look for
more new arrivals. One of the latest to
invest has been Mr. Chas. Boerner who
also secured a good contract for much
work here
The parents of about 100 children of
scholastic age will await patiently the
action of our city fathers for 1892 on the
recommendations of Su it. Smith for the
last two years to give West End a school
house. Scheid.
Messrs. D. L. Riley Ji Sone
Have opened a first-class family grocery
store at 229 Alamo plaza (the old Hubericn
stand). They have been in business but
a few weeks but are already enioying a
fine trade as their goods are fresn and of
tiie best quality and prices as low as any-
where else in the city.
HEAVY LOSSES SUSTAINED
By not buying tea at Holland’s
SHORT STOPS.
What the People arc Saying
The people eyrnpathise with the
brave men who have stepped'aside
rather than submit to being peoned
to the Aransas Pass railroad.
• • •
No matter what their grievance
may be it is too great to the men con-
cerned to be considered trivial by the
people.
• • •
It may amount to a simple reduc-
tion of $lO per month of the salary of
some humble station keeper but the
station keeper holds a position of
great responsibility and his wages
are small. It would look better to be-
gin economy at the too than at the
bottom.
« • •
A glance at the audience of inter-
ested spectators that thronged Com-
missioner Price’s court room is an ob-
ject lesson upon >he gieut q .cation of
the day —Capital vs. Labor.
• • •
Every face bore the token of intelli-
gent active manhood. Upon the
quickness of the eye the intelligence
decision and courage ot these railroad
men depend the safety of life and
property in the most perilous avoca-
tion followed by men.
» * *
To arraing such men upon crimi-
nal charges because they exercise the
rights of American manhood is a sad
commentary upon the development
of our institutions. No wonder labor
continues to find a remedy wot provid-
ed for by the laws of the laud.
• • •
Three great economic measures re-
main for the consideration ot the
American people. The control by
government ot the railways the tel-
egraph and the provision of national
savings banks for the people.
* • *
The cry of paternalism is the child-
ish whine of an effete political creed.
The people are sovereign; their gov-
ernment is for their own benefit and
the policy that contributes to the wel-
fare of the many will come nearest to
tilling the demand of modern repub-
licanism.
• • *
The crude methods of voting must
give way to the intelligent independ-
ent action of each individual citizen.
Thoe unable to cast a ballot under
rules requiring Independent Intelli-
gent choice should be excluded.
* » *
The ballot box is the channel
through which all reforms and politi-
cal progress must be reached.
* * *
The tariff’is a great business ques-
tion and should be dealt with so as
to build up our own country. The
party that favors a surrender of this
commercial ad vantage should be left
without the following of a single
American citizen.
But the great internal question of
capital vs labor should form the
nucleus of all political action.
The day when railroad and tele-
graph strikes are at an endwill mark
the era of a new and Letter order of
things; that day will never come un-
til the general government runs these
institutions for the benefit of the
people.
