Will Stahlman Resign?
New York Aug. 22.—More than
ordinary interest attaches to the
meeting of the Southern Railway
and Steamship association which
is to be held at the Oriental Hotel
on Manhattan Beach today.
This meeting is adjourned from
one held a month ago at the same
place. At that meeting the article
of agreement for the ensuing year
were drawn up ami a majority of
the roads which are members of
association signed it.
These signatures assure the life
of the association for one year.
There will be absolutely no ques-
tion therefore as to the continu-
ance of the association at today’s
meeting.
There is one question which may
possibly be sprung into this meet-
ing which if done will be one of
considerable interest. This is in
connection with the office of com-
missioner.
Col. E. B. Stahlman is the present
commissioner and has been for
several years. The question of
whether there will be a new com-
missioner rests almost solely with
Commissioner Stahlman himself.
He can have the place if he wants
it. Whether he wants it or not is
the sole issue now pending.
There is some talk that Mr. Sol.
Haas will be a candidate for the
place. This is not out of the range
of possibilities.

has made extensive preparations

Colorado Springs as the California
floral carnival brings to Santa

programme includes the Sunflower
carnival in the afternoon a bicycle
lantern parade of the national
wheelmen at night to be followed
by a ball at the Casino. The Colo-
rado Springs Wheel club has an-

far exceeded its privileges owning
a vast amount of real estate in the
town of Pullman and vicinity

the business. The petition declares

gressman. Robert J. Gamble of
Yankton brother to John R. Gam-
ble who was elected to Congress
three years ago but who died be-
fore taking his seat is a candidate
for congressional honors and either
Congressman John A. Pickier or
Congressman W. V. Lucas must go

What’s the Matter With the Jews ?
Written for the Light.
This question naturally arose in
my mind after reading Sidney B.
Wood’s spicy advertisement in the
San Antonio Express a short time
ago wherein he paid particular at-
tention to his Jewish brothers and
their scale of prices in doing busi-
ness. There is no necessity for one
man to try and blacken and injure
another in order to do business.
When that method is resorted to
there’s something wrong either
with the man or his business. Our
Jewish merchants stand unrivaled
as kind genial accomodating busi-
ness men. There isn’t a Jew in
town mean enough to “scab”
a poor striking street car
driver but there were Gen-
tiles found who would do it;
the Jew don’t love money any bet-
ter than the Gentile but he has the
inborn happy knack of knowing
how to place his dollars to the best
advantage. If I pass a beautiful
and well kept home I know a Jew
lives there by its handsome lawns
and lovely flowers; they act up to
the godliness. Ever since the days
of Moses the Jews have been
“tradersthat is their God-given
talent since Jehovah instructed
Moses and told him that they
should “spoil the Egyptians” and
get all they could lay hands on bt -
fore they started on that memora-
ble excursion across the Red sea
Why do we scourge the Jews; we
would have no God to worship if
it wasn’t for the God of the Israel-
ites. The Jews have committed no
wrong except to deny that Chist is
God.
This matter of the Trinity is a
moed subject among eminent
divines. They are not all agreed
by any means.
There is a trinity in every man
that breathes bodysoul and spirit
but there are not three distinct
persons.
If it wasn’t for those same Jews
Brother Wood would not now be a
Christian doing business on low
principles but through the Jews
disobedience of God’s commands
they were punished and then Gen-
tiles were allowed a show to become
children of God and hefts to the
Kingdom of Heaven as preached
by Brother Wood’s pet preacher
the redoubtable Sam Jones.
Why not let the Israelites
alone they’re all right good clean
kindly law abiding citizens. It is
about time in this progressive age
that all this race bitterness was
dropped and we dwell in harmony
Rs Americans and nothing more.
Where would our ten command-
ments be today if it wasn’t for
Moses or our Bible in fact only
for the prophets of old. The Jew
acts up to the teachings of the old
Bible today far better than do the
Gentiles to the doctrines of the
New Testament. I for one really
like the Jews they are a remark-
able race and just as distinct to-
day as thqy were in the far-ofl
days of Abraham. Let the Jews
alone ;if they prosper it is by close
and unremitting attention to their
business and the Gentild&iave the
liberty to go and do likiWfse.

A Bone Eelon Jag.
Monday afternoon two farmers named
Merkley.’ from near St Hedwig. came to
the city one of them suffering from a
felon on his finger The felon was lanced
by a physician and it hurt the patient so
that he sought relief in copious draughts
of liquor. Not being used to such liba-
tions the sufferer and his brother soon
felt their effects started for their camp-
yard and became lost on Avenue C. Here
they wandered about almost helpless
cursing and swearing at all who passed
until Mr. Dan Lewis summoned a police-
man who arrested them. Recorder Shar-
dein this morning dismissed the man who
had the felon but fined his brother $7.
Wheels in His Head.
Geo. Reichwein a stonemason who has
been boarding at the Schmitt house on
Austin street was observed by Officer
Ripps early yesterday morning on Hous-
ton street acting in rather a queer man-
ner. He followed him as far as Military
plaza learned where he boarded and
then transferred the case to. Officer Gul-
west. That officer after watching him
closely concluded he had several large
wheels in his head and later in the day
arrested him. He seems to be a lunatic
of the most depraved class and he will no
doubt be transferred soon through the
regular channels to the Insane asylum.

Scared Away.
Monday night a sneak thief supposed
to be a colored man was frightened away
from the premises of Mr. Santiago Villa-
nueva. in French place near Laurel
Heights. Re is thought to have been try-
ing to steal the carriage harness.
SUCCESSFUL STOREKEEPING
Does not mean gigantic profits. It means doing business continu-
ally—constantly—selling seasonable goods—even at a loss —before
holding them over to be offered as “New Goods” next season.
It’s an imperative rule of “THE? BIG STORE"
not to carry goods from one season to another.
WE ARE SUCCESSFUL STOREKEEPERS.
And will sell thousands of dollars worth of seasonable goods NOW
while you want them most at prices never before heard of.
