MONTEREY LETTER-
Holiday Celebration Ended—Two Gover-
nors Meet—Other News.
Monterey N. L. April 9 1896.
To the Dally Light.
Everyone is glad that the holi-
days are over. During the past
week almost all business was sus-
pended. In only such work as had
to be done was there any signs of
business life. The miners who
came in from the mines to be paid
off on the first spent the week in
the city.
The churches were crowded
every day and especially on Satur-
day and Sunday. The most inter-
esting services were held at the
Holy Trinity church. This is the
only English speaking Catholic
church in the city. The Rev. A.
E. Antone the pastor was assisted
by the Rev. J. M. Trancy formerly
of San Antonio. A number of the
prominent Episcopalians occupied
seats with the church choir and as-
sisted them on that occasion.
It is the custom of the country
to crucify Judas after the close of
10 o’clock mass. Nearly every
butcher and baker had one erected
in front of their shops. They are
made to look as hideous as possible.
They are filled with firecrackers
and small bombs. When they are
set off they make the welkin
ring. Men women and children
go to see them. As there was a
number of Americans in the city on
this occasion they enjoyed that
part of it very much.
Sir John C. Schultz ex-governor
of Manitoba who arrived here six
weeks ago for the benefit of his
health and had a suit of rooms at
Topo Chico moved into the city
last week and engaged rooms
where he and lady Schultz received
many callers.
Last Sunday Gen. Bernardo
Reyes entertained him and Lady
Schultz and Mr. and Mrs. J. C.
Middleton to dinner at his resi-
dence and in the afternoon there
was a military review at the Ala-
meda. At the close the military
band played the national airs.
This afternoon Mr. J. C. Middle-
ton sent a carriage to the city for
them and took them to his resi-
dence where they will stay until
Sir John recovers his health.
Mr. Sam Park the Mexican gen-
eral manager of the “Consolidated
Export Lumber C 0.” has pur’
chased the “Cia Industrial de Mon-
terey” and has appointed H.
Grandjean formerly of San Anto-
nio general manager of it. The
Consolidated Export Lumber Co.
ships more lumber to Mexico and
Central America than all the lum-
ber manufactures in Texas. The
Monterey Electric Light Company
have added another arc light dy-
namo to their plant.
There was a bull fight last Sun-
day at the new bull ring in this city
which drew a large crowd.
Mr. Pery A. Coffard and bride
of San Antonio are at Topo Chico
on a bridal tour. They will visit
every place of interest in the City
of Mexico before they return.
The following San Antonians are
stopping at the Marble hotel Topo
Chico for the benefit of their
health: Mrs. J. M. George and
family Capt. Peter Jonas Pery A.
Coffard and wife Wm. Morrison
and wife.
Joseph A. Robertson who has
been in San Antonio the past
week is expected home tonight. He
has a corps of engineers at work
taking levels on the street for the
purpose of putting in a system of
waterworks sewerage and street
paving with vitrified brick. They
have already commenced to pave
one block on Robie street.
Col. S. A. Frant of Tyler Tex.
is on a visit to his daughter Mrs.
Dr. Town.
Mr. H. E. Parker of San An-
tonio has opened the pavilion and
bowling alley at Topo Chico. He
proposes to give hops three times
a week during the season.

Boy in the Way.
Like a good many other boys
who ride bicycles on our streets at
night Arthur Folsom started to
the fire at the corner of Crockett
and Bowie streets on his wheel
last night but the hook and ladder
fire truck had right-of-way and the
boy could not get out of the way
his wheel caught in the car track
on Alamo plaza and the truck
struck him and knocked him un-
conscious—a severe wound was
made in his head. He was taken
to a drug store his wound dressed
and Chief Tobin assumed all ex-
penses for druggist and surgeon
and had him taken to his home.

AIR AND WINDS—as they affect the
skin and health.
“Wind in the West health as its best;
Wind In the East skin likes it the least.”
Cold air renders them more compact.
Sudden changes from warm to cold air are
Injurious and destroy the sensibility of the
skin making it thick and rough. Drying
winds by taking away the moisture nec-
essary to the proper action of the skin are
injurious and cause chapping and crack-
ing. Exposure to strong sunshine dark-
ens thickens and often blisters the skin.
So many conditions seem confusing but
the common sense inference is that we
me must protect our skin from extremes
of weather. “Reuss’ Witch Haze) Cream”
Is the only preparation which your phy-
sician will endorse; its the quickest and
safest cure for “chaps and tans.”
