BASEBALL GOSSIP.
Since the report has been out
that Ted Sullivan has given up the
San Antonio baseball franchise a
number of letters have been re-
ceived from parties desiring to
place a team in this city. That
San Antonio is a good ball town
there is no question of a doubt and
the people will support a good
team. If the cranks desire to have
San Antonio “in it” next season
the time for action is at hand now.
Centerflelder Mike Lawrence
who is now in Texarkana is de-
sirous of coming to San Antonio
and promises to us a winning team.
Pete Weckbecker is in Shreveport
and has several offers from the
north under consideration. He
prefers to remain south however
and writes that he would like to
manage the San Antonio team.
Then there’s “Old Dad” Phelan
who Is now in New Orleans. “Dad”
is as honest as the day is long
and to leave a team in his care
would result in San Antonio hav-
ing a winner.
Two umpires have thus far been
secured for the league for next sea-
son. President Ward has retained
Joe Broderick of last year’s staff.
The other is Jack Breunan. Both
are good men.
A dispatch from Louisville says
that Charles A. Hoyt the play-
wright who is staring “Uncle”
Anson in “A Runaway Colt” is
after the Louisville baseball fran-
chise. If he secures it he will
probably make Anson manager.
Hoyt says that the “old man”
would give up Chicago for Louis-
ville tjut others don’t think so.
“Fantasma” Tonight.
For some years past one of the
most welcome attractions at our!
best play houses has been the Han-
lon Brothers’ startling spectacular
play “Fantasma.” Our old friend
returns to us this season at the
Grand Opera house in a new dress
and with many new features in the
way of surprisingly new tricks
new mechanical devices and
entirely new Scenery and with a
magnificent company. On the
whole “Fantasma” will this year
be better than ever before.
To Try Them Again.
Six ailidavits were made before
the recorder this morning by
Street Commissioner Crowther
three against President W. H.
Weiss president of the San An-
tonio street car company and
three against his foreman D. D.
Willis 'charging them with not
maintaining streets in good repair
over which the car tracks run.

Upon the recommendation of the

promotions are made in troop 11

duced. Lance Corporal James Hef-

ing an alto player.
Colonol Carlton Eighth cavalry
has been granted one month’s leave
of absence.
Major Post corps of engineers
has been placed in charge of pub-
lic works at Detroit formerly in
charge of Colonel Poe deceased.
The pay day jags have run
against a snag in the person of
Lieutenant Colonel Whitside
judge of Summary court. The
Colonel does not believe in fines as
a means of punishment so to
straighten matters out he has
changed the order of things and
gives his cases from five to ten
days in the guard house on bread
and water. This treatment gives
their stomachs a chance to tone
up and at the same time affords
an ample period for reflection. The
Keely cure is not in it with this
treatment.
Regimental Quartermaster Ser-
geant Murray’s game rooster took
second prize at the chicken show.
Band Sergeant Waller was a con-
stant visitor at the poultry exhibit
and is trying to make up his mind
as to the breed he will handle.
The Ewing court martial is
now in full blast. Surgeon White
reported neglect of duty on the
part of Surgeon Ewing in not at-
tending patients outside of the
hospital. Captain Ewing stated
that Captain White drew forage
for a horse he did not own but
Surgeon White said the horse was
presented to him by Hospital
Steward Van Classman for the
reason that the steward had a
large family and having many ex-
penses to meet he concluded he
could no longer keep the horse. The
animal was used In plowing the
hospital garden and in going on
errands to town.

How He Fooled the Family.
The Light has been told the fol-
lowing story how a well known
hack driver in this city celebrated
his wedding anniversary and tried
to fool his wife and relatives. He
went down town quite early in the
day and purchased and rigged
himself out in a fine suit of clothes.
Of course he met numerous friends
during the day received their con-
gratulations at the same time ask-
ing the boys to “smile” with him.
Shortly after dark be was feeling
quite good and wended his way
homeward to the “bosom of his
family.” On entering the gate the
idea struck him that he would just
slip in and go to bed without let-
ting any of the house folks know
about it. He succeeded in fooling
the folks by quietly crawling un-
der the house and going to sleep.
His disappearance aroused the
anxiety of his relatives and friends
who searched the whole town that
night for the missing man and
their fears were not allayed until
next morning when Mr.
was seen crawling out from under
the bouse where he had slept oft

Of Mr Brown the Southern
Poultry Journal has this to say In
its November issue:
Loring Brown of Georgia is a
pioneer breeder of thoroughbreds
in the South has attended more
shows and won more prizes than
any man in the South and few if
any men in America any more.
No man on earth has had greater
opportunities to become thorough-
ly qualified and his continuous
employment by associations to
judge their shows is evidence that
he is. He has never hunted shows
to judge seldom goes into the
poultry journals his prominence
In poultrydom has been won pure-
ly won by honest dealings inte-
grity and competency as an expert.

Santa Maria “Times” Cal. in
speaking of the various ailments
of children said: “When my chil-
dren have croup there is only one
patent medicine that I ever use
and that is Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy. It possesses some medi-
cal properties that relieve the little
sufferers Immediately. It is in
mo opinion the best cough medi-
cine in the market.” If this reme-
dy is freely given as soon as the
croupy cough appears it will pre-
vent the attack. It is also an ideal
remedy for whooping cough. There
is no danger in giving it to chil-
dren as it contains nothing Injuri-
ous. For sale by F. Kalteyer Chas.
