SUNDAY MARCH 22 1896
UNIVERSITY TROUBLES.
Austin Tex. March 21.—At a
mass meeting of the students of
the University of Texas held on
the campus on Thursday afternoon
the resolutions were
“Whereas We feel that in the
failure of the board of regents to
re-elect Prof. A. L. Mcßae to the
chair of physics in the University
of Texas the students of this in-
stitution have lost a staunch and
loyal friend of their every interest.
“Whereas In his dismissal they
are deprived of a valued and be-
loved instructor whose place they
feel can with great difficulty be
refilled;
“Whereas. They feel that the
sudden dismissal of a man of his
high character ability and lofty
purpose is a serious loss to the
faculty and the university be it
herewith
“Resolved That we express our
heartfelt regret that our loyal
friend is to leave us; second that
we deplore the loss the university
will sustain in his absence; third
that we feel tbat the action of the
board of regents was a great mis-
take.”
The action of the board of re-
gents which gave rise to the indig-
nation of the students and the
friends of the universitywas taken
by the regents last January and
was to have been kept secret from
Dr. Mcßae until next June which
would deprive him from securing
a position next year. It was not
so much the fact that a university
professor had been displaced as
the manner in which it was done
and the motives that are allegtd
to have induced the regents to take
this step that led to such a pitch
of indignation among the friends
and students of the university.
It is generally conceded that the
action of the board of regents has
given the university a set-back
from which it can not recover in
years. It has given it the reputa-
tion among the educators of the
country as a good place of which
to steer clear and as a consequence
it will become almost impossible
for the university to secure first
class professors. The position of
university professor is the most
stable situation in the world.
There is not a university in the
north or in Europe in which a uni-
versity professorship is not virtu-
ally a life job. In a few of the
western states the pernicious in-
fluence of politics has crept into
the university management. The
result is that a number of western
universities are compelled to pay
enormous salaries for sec-
ond grade professors because
tbe positions are so unstable that
first class scientists would not
think of touching them. The news
of the unexplained action of the
regents in dismissing Dr. Mcßae
has created a profound sensation in
the university faculty and it
would not be surprising to see the
members resign one after another
as fast as they can secure positions
in other institutions.
Dr. Mcßae adjunct professor of
the school of physics is a graduate
of Harvard college and bears the
reputation of being one of the finest
physicists that has ever left that
institution. He now ranks among
the foremost mathematical physic-
ists in America. He came to the
Texas university from Missouriand
so loth was the universitywhich he
had left to part with his services
that they held the position open to
him for over a year in case he
should prefer Missouri over his
new place in Texas. Through his
excellent qualites both as an in-
structor and gentleman he has en-
deared himself to every’ student in
the university and the resolutions
Thursday afternoon is but
a mild way of expressing the
opinion of the friends of the uni-
versity that it is high time that
an institution of learning like the
University of Texas be given a
board of regents who will not use
its power to further their private
motives. It is too valuable an ob-
ject to be placed in irresponsible
hands as a plaything.
Surprise Party-
A large party of the friends of
Mr. Gus. Margozewitz surprised
him last Sunday evening at his
residence on the occasion of his
eighteenth birthday anniversary.
Games were played and refresh-
ments served and all seemed de-
lighted at the success of tbe long-
looked-for party. There were

EUROPEAN LETTER.
TOURISTS SIGHT SEEING IN IT-
ALY'S CAPITAL CITY.
Chariot Eaces — Visit to the King’s
Stables—The Beggars Are the
Tourists’ Worst Enemies.
[From Our Special Correspondent.]
Rome Italy March 9. — Our
stay in Rome has been extremely
pleasant and profitable.
Now I want to mention what
we have seen during the last week:
The Capitol the Aventine the
Pantheon Paul’s prison the
king’s stables the Jesuit church
of St. Ignazio and Gesu one of the
most gorgeous churches in Rome.
On Sunday we went to the Villa
Borghese where they had fitted up
the bed of what was formerly a
large lake as a race course and
were having horse and chariot
races there witnessed by thousands
of people. It seemed strange to
me to pay’ admission and attend
this performance of a wild west or-
der (excepting of course the chari-
ot races) on a Sunday afternoon.
But it was for the benefit of the
wounded in Africa. A thousand
more soldiers left here last week
for Africa to recruit the ranks of
the wounded. They departed amid
bursts of martial music and great
enthusiasm. But the sensitive ear
detected many minor notes. They
came from the broken hearts
of mothers wives and sisters
who were|embracing the loved ones
they might never again see. Oh
it was terribly sad. It makes me
boil with indignation when I think
on what trivial pretexts nations
that call themselves civilized re-
sort to war. I admire England for
the pacific attitude she took in our
recent little wrangle. She kept a
level head. Until a man is ready
to enlist in tbe first volunteer
regiment it does not become him
to blow about war.
On the Aventine we saw a very
handsome new monastery a vista
opening upon St. Peters and St.
Sabina au old church dating from
the early fifth century. Here we
were followed around by an old
Franciscan monk who took us in-
to the monastery gardens and gave
us flowers. This reminds me that
in Rome there are as many uni-
formed and official as unofficial
beggars. The former class keep
little gates and doors locked on
public highways or in buildings
which the visitor has a perfect
right to enter free of charge. But
not so rule these beggars in brass
buttons. They appoint themselves
custodian of tbe key and you must
ring and wait on their officious ser-
vice. They bow around and make
a great pretence of assistance. Once
away from them you are con-
fronted by tbe deformed and
wretched looking beggars at every
church door who often project
themselves in front of you and all
but catch hold of your sleeve. If
you refuse them maledictions are
hurled after you. This is one of
the very disagreeable features of
European travel. I shall never
forget a beggar this time in tbe
garb of a priest whom we en-
countered in the great cathedral
of Seville. He asked for money in
every way but in words. I did
not mind this so much as I did his
face. It was tbe most voluptuous
repugnant face I have ever seen.
A las tbat bis 11 ps b ave ever taken
the vows of holy church. He
might grace the bowery but his
physical make-up was suggestive
of every thing but sanctity.
On Thursday we went to the
king’s stables where Paul w r as
greatly delighted with the 150
horses. They were pleasing to
look at line fat sleek intelligent-
looking fellows with nothing to
do but contemplate their fortunate
(or unfortunate) Jot in life for they
looked like they longed for an out-
ing and would gladly exchange
places with the cab-horses on the
highway if only they could get
sunshine and exercise. Mean-
while doubtless their weary cab
brothers long to step into their
sboes. All of which goes to prove
tbat happiness is relative and that
horses like men are slaves to im-
agination.
At the capital we saw the munic-
ipal council rooms busts of the
king and prince of Naples a beau-
tiful statue of Cleopatra by a
Roman sculptor and a number of
other pictures all historical.
Near the capitol we went into an
old building and down narrow
winding stairs into a dungen
which is believed to be the identi-
cal one in which Paul was con-
fined.
Walking along a street the other
day I saw a crowd collected in
front of a house and looking up I
thought at it. A nearer approach
showed tbe house to be a Catholic
school or home for young girls.
They were leaning over the high
balconies in pure white garments
which seemed to differ in no re-
spect from les robes du nuit.
Strange I thought that a strict
institution should permit its in-
mates to appear in their night
dresses at tbe windows as to at-
tract a crowd of people. But I soon
discovered that a funeral was tak-
ing place in a houseon the opposite
side of the street and that the girls
were entirely proper in their sem f
inary uniform. Otto i

KARNESOOUNTY.
Light Special.
Kahnes City March 21.—Runge
high school closes sessions May 1.
The vegetable growers and the
orchard men and the farmers
whose corn was just out of ground
have been scared this week fearing
frost but no damage has been
done.
The weather on Sunday last was
too much for the piety of this sec-
tion and church-goers were very
scarce.
Court news of any importance
has already appeared in the col-
umns of the Light from day to
day and recapitulation is unneces-
sary.
The big rain and the birds com-
bined have compelled N. J. Graves
to replant about fifty acres of corn.
The delegates from this county
are in attendance upon the demo-
cratic convention at Corpus Christi
to nominate Crain’s successor.
The county will be fully repre
sented at the populist convention
in Beeville called for Wednesday
next to nominate a congressional
candidate.
Karnes county was never in bet-
ter condition at this season of tbe
year. Vegetables of all kinds are
growing splendidly corn is coming
out of the ground and fruit pros-
pects are excellent.
CHEAP RESTAURANTS.
How the Popular Fifteen-Oent Meal is Made
To Pay.
In conversation with the pro-
prietor of one of the many restau-
rants where 15-cent meals are the
great catch for the public patron-
age a Light reporter sought to
learn how a meal could be sup-
plied with a living margin of profit
to the caterer at such a small
figure. In answer to his expressed
curiosity the proprietor said:
“You see it’s this way: Some of
these fellow’s have families you
know and that saves the expense
for help to some extent. Then the
dishes —there are generally’ about
six or eight—tw’o of meat
two or three of vegetables
entrees and dessert. One of the
meats is easily re-served from the
last meal disguised and made
savory with some ingenious sauce.
Potatoes and rice keep for a good
while and can be bought very
cheap in large quantities. We can
get canned goods at wholesale
prices and they’re good for almost
anything—canned meats vegeta-
bles and so forth. Then canned
fruits can be worked up into all
sorts of good desserts. Salads are
served because they are palatable
and can be made from cold vic-
tuals. But with all this economy
the successful man must be a jug-
gler in a culinary way. I myself
am fortunate in having regular
patrons in the sporting classes
who always take short orders and
plenty of ’em too.
“Of course to cater to the whole
public short orders must be
served as well as fifteen-cent
meals and while the latter barely
pays a good substantial profit is
made on the former. You are
probably aw’are that restaurants
can get prices from the butcher
better by’ twenty-five per cent than
the ordinary customer. You see
oP man that the fifteen-cent busi-
ness ain’t no bonanza. To make it
pay one must be shrewd econom-
ical and fertile in resources.”
Weyler Very Sore.
AJadkid March 21.—A dispatch
from Havana to the Imparcial
says: Cant. Weyler feels much
hindered by the excessive degree
of prudence he is compelled to ob-
serve during the discussion in tbe
United States congress of the
question of belligerency of the
Cuwin insurgents which moreover
pre voices the the course
LIKE A FISH STORY.
IT IS STATED THE A. P. A. IN SAN
ANTONIO HAVE 1500 MEMBEES.
A Political Land Slide Is Predicted Should
They Announce Their Support of
a Ticket in Bexar County.
It is estimated from a reliable
source that there are at present in
San Antonio 1500 active members
of the American Protective asso-
ciation and out of that number
there are about 100 Catholics w’ho
joined the organization for a cer-
tain purpose. In speaking of the
subject to a Light man a few days
ago a prominent citizen who is
neither an A. P. A. or Catholic
and who desired his name omitted
for various and sufficient reasons
said:
“I'm not in favor of this associa-
tion known as the American Pro-
tective association as I do not be-
lieve in mixing religion with poli-
tics at any stage of the game and
any’ body’ of men which attempts
it in this country will come out at
the little end of the horn.
Now let us suppose that the A.
P. A. did succeed in keeping all
Catholics out of office in this coun-
try then what would be the re
suit? You don’t know? Then I’ll
tell you in a few simple words:
It would have the effect of put-
ting a man in an office who could
put the best claim before the
American people as to bring an
Infidel who neither believed in a
Supreme being heaven or hell
and this is how it would come
about. When the line is drawn
a Catholic would not vote for a
Baptist and a Baptist would not
vote for a Methodist or Catholic or
any other denomination so where
are you going to get your great re-
ligious and pious churchman from
to fill the office? Now let that
great body of mixed religion
known as the A. P. A. answer the
question.
President Cleveland in a little
speech recently made before a
pious gathering declared himself
and as a result bls most staunch
supporters and friends give
him the cold shoulder for
hts pains and would the new
American Protective association
(alias) the Old Knownothing par-
ty in a new dress put him up for a
third term? Well I guess not!
Again let us turn back once more
to local affairs where it is said
the local branch have a member-
ship of 1500 and are going to put
out candidates for county offices
in November but 1 am slightly
inclined to think tbat they have
reckoned without their host or at
least without 100 of their Catholic
members who in turn keep their
friends posted as to the little tricks
of this great secret order and when
it comes to a vote at the polls then
look out for a great land slide.”
ECHOES FEOM WEST END.
Superintendent Dowden of tbe
street car company is putting all
his cars in good shape to be ready
to haul the Epworth Leaguers
who will stop at West End next
month.
There are “no flies around us”
and no buzzards hovering over our
suburb. F. B. Grigg reports an-
other sale of four building lots
near and south of the Orphans’
home and improvements are
steadily going on.
The popular Home Villa hotel is
so well filled and the Lakeside
hotel having failed to exist as
such many people who will stay
at West End and nowhere else
have to be accommodated in pri-
vate families.
“Echoes” mentioned last week
the prospect of having a Catholic
church here soon. This morning
he read the following on a sign-
board at the north room of the
present public school building:
“Durrett & Conoly Loans Rents
and Real Estate;” and immedi-
ately below it: “St. Saviour’s Mis-
sion Episcopal. Sunday school
3p. in.; evening prayers 4p. m.
every Sunday.” Thus another
church or at least church service
and the one the most closely allied
to the Catholic is and ought to be
welcomed to West End where only
a synagogue and a few temples for
eastern worshipers are needed
now to enable a congress of all
religions to be held similar to the
one in Chicago during the World’s
fair. If ever there is such held
“Echoes” is ready and willing to
make the address of welcome to
God’s children of every creed
whether they take the altar wine
out of a church communion
cup or out of their own mugs;
whether they worship in a mosque
on Friday in a temple on Satur-
day or a church on Sunday. The
utmost personal freedom would be
offered them the beautiful West
End lake would be pointed out to
the fanatical teetotalers and the
two large breweries of San An-
tonio that are doing so much good
for the cause of temperarce by
taking in a friendly spirit the
fangs out of King Alcohol) would
also be mentioned and great stress
would be laid to the liberality of
San Antonio that has an open
hand to extend to each and all
Uhile West End would (have to
khow itself as San Anton-O’s love-
liest suburb which it couki do.
