A REMARKABLE WHELP.
Lady Spot the thoroughbred pointer
bitch owned by Simon Veith whelped
thirteen puppies this morning. They
are sired by Gale of Naso the fine
pointer dog of Mr. G. A. Stowers. The
remarkable part of it is that the
thirteen puppies were whelped on the
13th of the month and ten of the litter
are dog puppies. Lady Spot is well
known among the sportsmen of South-
west Texas and while there are many
as good none possess better field qual-
ities than she does.
Besides being a field trail winner she
comes from the finest strain of point-
ers in the world. Maximus was her
sire he by Champion Croxteth. Gale
of Naso is by Naso of Axtell Pride of
King Dan. Mr. Veith will have a
snap shot taken of the mother and lit-
ter when the pups are a few days old-
er and one will be placed in the Light's
show window.
TWO ANNIVERSARIES.
Yesterday was the anniversary of the
Battle of the Boyne in which William
111. king at England defeated James
11. the former king who had been ban-
ished for his adherence to the Catholic
faith. William of Orange who mar-
ried the daughter of James 11. had been
with his wife Mary crowned king and
queen of England and James the 11. in
an attempt to regain his crown invad-
ed Ireland. Many of the Irish gave
him a warm welcome and enlisted un-
der his banner and then James’ army
besieged Londonderry but was unable
to take it. James’ army moved on-
ward to the Boyne and there encounter-
ed William’s army. After a bloody
but decisive battle James was defeated
and obliged to return to France. He
never more endeavored to regain his
crown but his son known as “the pre-
tender” made a gallant effort to do so
but was defeated and compelled to re-
tire to France.
i There is an obelisk 150 feet highabout
three miles from Drogheda that com-
memorates the battle.
Tomorrow will be the anniversary of
the Fall of the Bastile.
IRVIN-FRANCE.
Mr. Allen Irvin and Miss Mamie E.
France were united in marriage last
evening and left over the Internation-
al railroad for Denver Col. on a hon-
eymoon trip. It was a quiet affair.
Mr. Irvin is commercial agent of the
Aransas Pass railroad and the bride
is the niece of Mrs. C. N. Leroux.
DEATH OF A WAR VETERAN.
An old man named Kriesch living on
the Helotes with his nephews Franz
and Ludwig Rosenkranz died yester-
day. He was 83 years of age. He was
a Texas w r ar veteran and is said to have
fought in the battle of the Alamo. De-
ceased was quite an eccentric character
and his last request was that he be
given a very plain burial in a pine box
where he believed he would rest as easy
as in an expensive casket.

THE BORDER TROOPS DO NOT
LEAVE THIS WEEK.
Rations Will Not Be Here in Time —
Captain Stevens Taking Stock—Gos-
sip of the Garrison.
The troops destined for border ser-
vice will not leave this city before
next week. That is certain as there
are not any rations at the Post to sup-
ply them with and the rations will
not reach here before Friday.
As stated in the Light one day last
week the largest shipment of commis-
sary supplies ever received at this post
will arrive here in a few days and the
invoices have arrived already but the
goods themselves are not here. Cap-
tain Stevens knowing that he was run-
ning low on food-stuffs for his men
telegraphed to Major Dravo chief
commissiary of the department yes-
terday in relation to the shipment of
the supplies for which the Invoices
have already been received and receiv-
ed the following telegram in reply:
"The commissary at St. Louis wires
me that he will rush rations. Should
reach you by 15th. If not purchase
such as you may need in open mar-
ket. Limit purchase to two days’
supply at time.
“DRAVO Chief Coms’y.”
Captian Stevens thinks he has ra-
tions enough however to supply his
men until the others arrive and will
not have to purchase any here. The
failure of the supplies to arrive will
pnly delay the departure of the border
troops a few days.
Captain Stevens was communicating
with the posts in connection with their
ordnance supplies yesterday.
In relation to the removal of the four
troops to the border yesterday Major
Fred Hadra regimental surgeon re-
ceived an order playing havoc with his
medical force and scattering it out
with the troops. The order directed
the following;
First Lieutenant Harry C. McClen-
ahan assistant surgeon will accom-
pany troop A to Fort Mclntosh where
he will take station.
First Lieutenant Richard E.Nichol-
son assistant surgeon will accompany
troops H and C to Forts Ringgold and
Brown and take station at the latter
place.
The order also directed Major Hadra
to select a hospital steward to accom-
pany troop H to Fort Brown and one
private of the hospital corps to go to
Fort Bliss one to Browm two to Mc-
Intosh and two to Ringgold. Steward
Frank Hodge was selected to go to
Fort Brown. Major Hadra remains
here with headquarters.
Captain Stevens post quartermaster
is having his annual “house clean-
ing" and is straightening out every-
thing in his department and invoic-
ing it for the new fiscal year just be-
gun with this month. A large force
of extra men are on duty for this
work and Lieutenant J. W. Tobin is
assisting the captain in superintending
it. All worthless articles at these an-
nual cleanings are piled up in a certain
room and left for the Inspector gen-
eral to condemn.
The serviceable articles are then In-
voiced classified and placed in their
proper store room. The articles are
all classified a certain number of ar-
ticles of a different kind being classed
as number 12 3 or whatever it may
be. They are then put in a room with
that number over the door and it is
a case of "a place for everything and
everything in its place” and whenever
an article is wanted it can be found
in a second.
Lieuntenant Tobin was amused at
several of the classifications especially
as he announced the placing of coffins
and horse shoes in the same class. The
work of straightening out will not be
completed for several days as it Is an
enormous task.
Post Commissary Sergeant Franklin
Rose Captain Stevens’ able assistant
is an old member of company A
Eighteenth infantry fc merly station-
ed at this post and tne sergeant does
not believe that there is a line cap-
tain in the army that can equal his old
commander. Captain Bates. Sergeant
Rose was first sergeant of the com-
pany for many years leaving the posi-
tion when promoted to be commissary
sergeant in the early part of 1897 and
he hates to hear of the boys going to
the front without him. Nevertheless
he is now out of the fighting branch
of the army and like his excellent
chief. Captain Stevens Aust stay be-
hind and perform a duty much more
important than that of fighting and
that is to feed those in the field.
Captain Stevens sent away another
batch of teamsters last night to Tam-
pa as follows:
H. Nutt L. W. Mullen. Major Lynn
J. B. Mills Wm. Glover Frank Low
J. Porter B. F. Lawrence T. V. Ma-
havier Frank X. Mayotte Alexander
Ross Wm. Rogers Harvey Fulton
Wm. Chester T. H. Luttrell.
The forthcoming move to the border
caused Colonel Hare to order a trans-
fer of a troop in the regiment from one
squadron to the other yesterday. Troop
H (Capt. Holman’s) was transferred
from the Second to the Third squad-
ron and troop E (Fisher’s) was trans-
ferred from the Third to the Second
squadron. This transfer resulted
from the rescinding of an order recent-
ly issued to station a troop at Corpus
Christi. Captain Fisher's troop was
designated to go there and when the
order was countermanded and only
four troops sent away Captain Fish-
er's troop was not ordered away. He
belonging to the Third squadron and
all the others ordered except Capt.
Holman's belonging to the Third
squadron his troop was transferred to
the Second Capt. Holman's was put
in the Third making an even squad-
ron commanded by Major Towles that
leaves here next week.
Stock —Gos-
The work of recruiting the regiment
continues to progress and new faces
are added daily. Corporal K. ’D.
Biggs and Private Paul Watson of
troop M returned last night from San
Marcos with eight recruits all of
whom were accepted the following
four being assigned to troop M:
Oscar Green of San Marcos; Chas.
M. Lyons of Flatonia: Creedon San-
ders of Uvalde; Hirsch Richardson
of Uvalde.
There was a small blaze yesterday
afternoon in the rear of the corral
which resulted in a troop being called
out to extinguish it. The blaze orig-
inated in a pile of manure and trash
and was evidently caused by a cigar
or cigarette.
Messrs. Rheiner & Quinn proprietors
of Riverside park have arranged with
Prof. Beck to have his band render a
patriotic musical program in Riverside
park next Sunday afternoon in honor
of the First Texas cavalry to which he
will today invite Colonel Hare and
staff as well as the other officers and
men of the command. As this is a day
of rest and no drills are on the program
the colonel will likely consent to the
men attending as well as gracing the
place with his own presence. "The
Cavalry Charge" "Indian War Dance”
and other lively selections will be ren-
dered.
The officers of the First squadron
started a mess In Colonel Whitside's
old residence yesterday.
Miss Bulah McCloy is visiting Mrs.
Major Pearson from Richmond Texas.
Charlie Mann of troop F received
a box of dainties from home yester-
day.
Captain Walker of troop G was
officer of the day yesterday and Lieu-
tenant Jake Walters of troop H was
officer of the guard.

relieved from extra duty in the quar-
termaster’s department yesterday and

was appointed In his place.
A. P. Hinton of troop E received a
box of delicacies from home yesterday.
Private Ben Tinsley of troop E was
relieved yesterday as carpenter in the
quartermaster’s department and Pri-
vate E. F. Rolle of troop M was ap-
pointed to the place.
Captain Stevens Post quartermaster
received a letter yesterday from a
Houston merchant who wanted to sell
him some flannel shirts for the men
stating the price of his Dewey Samp-
son and Schley shirts. He evidently
thought patriotic names to the articles
would sell them easier.
Mrs. Goldman wife of Captain H.
J. Goldman of the Fifth cavalry has
gone East to remain with relatives
w’hile the captain is at war. Mrs.
Wood wife of Captain Wood of the
Eighteenth infantry recently left for
California where she joined her hus-
band before he embarked for the Phil-
ippines.
Sergeant .W. M. Towers and Corporal
Clifton Cope of troop D were reduced
to the ranks today.
A lady friend of Colonel Hare pre-
sented him a fine large cake yesterday
with a card attached announcing that
it was “for courtesies extended.”
Ricardo Holmes of this city has en-
listed and is now a member of troop
M First Texas cavalry. He
will be heard from if there is any
scout duty Interpreting or scrapping.

Vertner V. Farror a member of the
Belknap Rifles from this city writes a
friend as follows under date of July 9th;
“Yesterday was very quiet for a
Fourth of July. No excitement of any
kind. Most of the boys went out sail-
ing. There is no fishing in the bay.
You have to go up the Miami river or
out into the ocean about eight miles.
The drill today seemed much harder
after our three days' holiday. We had
a brigade skirmish. The line of battle
was over a mile long. I was one of the
flankers with a squad of four. A
flanker has to march parallel with the
main body about two hundred yards
away. He is supposed to find the ene-
my and report to his company. As
there are no enemies in this country we
report Imaginary ones and we find so
many that we keep on the run. We
don’t mind the sand so much and get
along pretty well. The boys cheered
heartily for Sampson and Shafter but
we think we ought to be with them in
their glorious victories.
The way General Schwan quit us
makes the boys think that they are
doomed to stay here forever or at least
until the war is over. We have little
hope of seeing active service.
Captain McAdoo has just showed up
and the way the boys yelled and made
for him was enough to make most men’s
head turn but nothing like that could
ever affect him. He shook hands and
had a word for every man in his com-
pany. There’s not a man in his com-
pany but would give up everything for
him. We almost worship him. He
looks very well and will take command
in a few days.
At last I am down to mess fare. Have
spent the last nickel and must just
hang around until the paymaster turns
up."
Charles Scheldemantel at Miami
writes to his father Charles Scheid-
emantel of San Antonio under a suc-
cession of dates as follows:
July s.—You know from Louis that I
am now with company F Col. Mabry
having kindly consented to my trans-
fer as soon as asked. I made my first
drill with the battalion this morning
and did not find it very hard; the dust
was all settled by recent rains. Here-
tofore I have been drilling with the re-
cruits.
