KINDNESS GENTLENESS. LOVE
Always Command the Respect of
the Educated and Refined.
Prof. Gentry with his army of
educated ponies and dogs will hold
forth on East Commerce street just
east of Joske’s for four nights be-
ginning Wednesday’ night May’ 2
with matinee Thursday and Satur-
day at 2:30. One of the secrets of
the wonderful success of Prof.
Gentry is that he is as kind and
gentle to the little beauty Shet-
lands and dogs as a fond mother is
to the children she loves. He has
only to tell them what he wants
them to do and it is done. They
all seem anxious and willing to
perform their parts as any one who
might expect to be liberally re-
warded. This may partially be
from the fact that they so thor-
oughly enjoy the visit of the audi-
ence on the stage after each per-
formance and seem dissappointed
when a visit is not made them.
They thoroughly enjoy the sweet-
meats and caresses of the ladies
and children. Admission: Child-
ren 10 cents; adults 20 cents.

Having a Picnic.
The members of the Alamo Baptist and
the Camden street Christian churches are
enjoying themselves today at a picnic at
Macdona park about eighteen miles
southwest of San Antonio on the South-
ern Pacific. The Southern Pacific put on
an excursion today consisting of nine
coaches and a baggage car and the train
was crowded with jolly picnickers as it
pulled out of the depot this morning. The
party will return this evening.
SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.
(By Col. Jas. P. Newcomb.]
There is a good deal of excited comment
because the city council did not at once
grant the light of way over Dawson
street into the city to the Gulf Shore rail-
road.
« • #
Every person except a few citizens who
consider that their property will be dam-
aged. favor the unconditional granting of
a right of way to this road because It will
give employment to Idle men and stir up
some life in our city.
♦ < *
The mayor and city council are unani-
mous in favor of granting a right of way
to this road but it is their duty to guard
the city and its citizens from damage that
may result from this grant and to choose
the route least harmful to the public.
♦ # ♦
In granting this right of way the city is
primarily responsible for any and all
damage resulting therefrom and if this is
theonly feasible route that can be chosen
let the railroad company give the city a
bond to hold the corporation harmless
from any damage suits that may be insti-
tuted.
» « «
It will be easy for the company to give
this bond If we are to judge from the un-
iversal verdict of our wealthy citizens
in favor of granting this right of way.
* * *
A citizen of Fort Worth recovered
$5.0C0 damages from that city by reason
of the granting of a railroad right of way
in front of his property. Our own city has
been mulcted in several suits by reason
of excavations the city made in the
grades of streets. A damage suit is now
being prepared against thecity by prop-
erty owners on Pine street. In conse-
quence of the granting of the street fran-
chise to the street car companies.
« * ♦
The council has only acted wisely in
going slow in this important matter—-
they would be recreant to their duty to
have turned a deaf ear to the protest
made and even if every property owner
in the city had asked for the granting of
the franchise they should not be hasty.
« « «
The railroad people are to blame for
not havingconsulted the city in advance
as to the most feasible routes for their
road to come In. and not have made
choice of one route and demanded that or
nothing. If this was permissable the
next railroad enterprise can plant itself
on Commerce street and demand right of
way and get up a great clamor if they
are not allowed to do as they please.
< ♦ »
Too much personal feeling has been
allowed to enter Into this affair; it is a
matter of business and thecity should
act promptly at the same time cautiously.
Grant the right of way over Dawson
street provided it is the only feasible
route but protect our already too much
sued city from damage suits.
♦ * ♦
Grant the right-of-way. if it takes the
roof off the fashionable residences on
Dignowitv hill but protect our city from
the damage resulting therefrom.
It may be that some other route could
be secured which would be free from the
trouble raised but the railroad company
does not seem to have been prepared with
the proper data to show that they had
thoroughly investigated the matter.
« « »
No great damage seems to have result-
ed from the delay so far but the council
should settle it as soon as possible and do
away with the public clamor.
Some people have asserted that this
railroad company has no financial back-
ing.—in short nd money to build with—
if they have no money the granting of
the right of way won’t hurt and If they
have the means to go ahead then all is
well. We want something to wake up
the town with and the building of a new
railroad will do it.
