'CRUEL TREATMENT '
Of A NEGRO GIRL 1
•
r a?
TWO WOMEN FINED IN THE PO.
LICE COURT TODAY.
1 Charged With Beating the Girl Until
Her Flesh Was Lacerated —The
Case'Was Investigated by the Hu-
mane Society.
Hattie Greenberry and Stella John-
son. two colored women appeared
before Judge Shardein in the police
court this morning on charges of cru-
elly and unmercifully whipping Fan
nle 'May Greenberry a little colored
girl of about six years. Fines of $lO
each were Imposed against the wo-
men. The complaint was filed by
Agent Smith of the Humane society
to whom the case was reported by the
neighbors of the women. According
to the testimony of witnesses the wo-
men severely whipped the child with
I a large strap inflicting several terri-
ble gashes upou the child's arms and
body. Agent Smith also testified that
when he investigated the case he
found lacerations all over the child’s
1 arms.
Struck an Aged Gardener.
1 Fred E. Cox. a young-blood strong
and husky' appeared before the court
charged with beating and striking Jo-
seph Williams an aged gardener in
the employ of Park Commissioner
’ Mahncke. The testimony brought out
the fact that Cox was standing on
the grass of a park and was approach-
ed by the gardener and informed to
1 not stand thereon.. The young man de
minded to know by what authority
and he was enlightened in that direc
tion. Still it appears. Cox refused to
get off the grass and when the aged
gentleman attempted to put him
the young athlete dealt him a blow
in the mouth that sent him sprawling;
also breaking two of his teeth. A
fine of $lO was lodged against the de-
I fendant.
Stones Versus Knife.
'I Jacinto Trevino and M. L. Diaz
' were before the court to answer for
charges of lighting Both were fined
in the sum of $5. It seems from the
testimony that a dispute arose be
tween the bevs which culminated in
Trevino striking Diaz with a atone in-
flicting a wound on the arm. Diaz
retaliated it appears with a pocket
knife and succeeded in inflicting a stab
wound in Trevino’s left shoulder a
few inches from the neck.
Myrtle Flew High.
Myrtle Roberts with a face of ex-
i aidsite beauty is the maid who en-
I joved a ride on the top of a hack with
her sweetheart and was placed under
I arrest a few days ago by the police. I
lAt that time she feigned being indis-
posed ;ind sent $5 to pay her fine by
the proxy rout-?. The court refused to
accept the donation and ordered little
Myrtle to appear before the court per-
' sonally. She entered a plea of guilty j
and was accordingly fined in the sum
' of $7.
Fought Over a Woman.
Dudlev Words charged with assault
and battery was tried this morning
I and given the $lO limit. Dudley and
Hardy fell out about a woman which
caused the latter to be struck across
' I the head with a lantern the evidences
of which Hartly exhibited in court in
the shape of a gash on the forehead.
A Lively Fight.
I The vicinity of avenue II and Fifth
street was alive with excitement last
evening caused by the lively set-to
between Eliza McKenzie anti Awa
Henderson. The women both col-
ored fought until their clothes resein
bled the suit of Rip Van Winkle after
awakening from his protracted sleep
in Hie mountains. Officer Brown re-
■ sponded to the call tor the police and
f arrested the couple. Both will spend
five days in jail meditating over their
• mistake.

Ip the ’ tnlrd antllviTsar." address
delivered at the Bailroad Y. M. C.fA.
bill Ipst Sunday afternoon by Kev. W.
M. the State secretary of tlie
Y. M. C. A. tfte good work of this
organization was brought to light. H(s
address was as follows;
"The question is sometimes asked
What is the Young Men's Christian
association? And to one not familiar
with the work.it is difficult to satis-
factorily answer this question. There
are a great many opinions held as to
what It Is and just what its work
should l be. but we bave the whole
thingg in a nutshell from one of our
association writers who has truly said
'The age In which we live has many
problems but the problem of the ng'
Is the young man. To solve the
problem Is the constant and earnest
endeavor of the Y. M. C. A.'
“All associations must constantly
keep before them their true position
which is. the church al work for young
men; unless that be done the associa-
tion may degenerate and neglect Its
true work.
"This must also lie kept to the front
because the work should be done by
the church. The association by it-
self—merely as a club—cannot suc-
ceed. therefore its true aim must not
be forgotten nnd it must have the
support of the church.
"The Young Men's Christian asso-
ciation adapts itself to the needs of all
clas’es nnd conditions of men. offer-
ing them privileges which ar<- rerog
nized as necessities of life. The past
few years the association has been
making rapid strides in this direction
broadening its work until it reaches
not only the man at the desk and be
hind the counter but also the mao
with the dinner |>ail and even the man
with the hoe. The association reach-
es the lumberman and the miner in
his lonely camp. It reaches the soldier
and the sailor at his post of duty it
reaches the man in the .marble yard
it reaches the street railway employe
and last but not least it reaches th<
nten who do the world's work the
railroad men. Perhaps the most
notable achievement of the association
has been to open a path for Itself —
a path to working men. x
"At the Cananca Copper Mining
camp Sonora. Mexico a brick build
!ng costing over $lOOOO has been
erected and a $2OOO library provided
for the association by the company
They al«o appropriate $125 in gold per
month in addition to supplies towards
the running expenses The president
of this company—a few years ago. a
poor protpeclor but now a million
niret—savs that when he came west
some years ago from New York the
only tbit.g he brought with him that
was ever of any value to him was a
membership ticket in the Y. M C. A
“The railroad association built 33
new buildings during the last two
vearsf. These buildings are never
closed the dormitories nnd restaur
ante being open day and night.
“The corporations give annually
?250.000 towards the running expenses
of this work besides their handsome
gifts for buildings'. They consider
this a legitimate charge in connection
with the operating expenses of the
toad and themselves urge its rapid
extension. Along those linos the work
is now and has been carried on the
past year by.the San Antonio associa-
"In our Igiilding wo have attractive

cial room hath room. Air Club I'Kim.
class rooms gymnasium bowling al
ley. etc. where the men ran spend
their leisure hours with profit. A
night class In arithmetic was taught
here last season two nights each
week by Prof. A. L'hr. There were
fourteen students enrolled five con
tinned during the entire term four of
these took the international examina-
tion and one passed namely Ix>uls
Archambault whose certificate I have
her< for your inspection.
“Next season we will l>e prepared
to teach several other studies includ-
ing mechanical drawing The night
classes are not run for the profit of
the association but for the benefit
of its members. The Air club is not
e “hot" air club but an organization
of young men. mostly firemen for the
purpose of study ing the air brake. Any
engineer is eligible as instructor for
this club and they have proven them
selves ever ready and willing to help.
“Mr. H. F. Anderson division su-
perintendent of the Galveston. Harris-
burg & San Antonio railroad has been
kind enough to give quite a number of
lectures in the building on Train
Rules.' which have been well attended
and much appreciated. We expect to
continue both the Air club and Train
Rules Talks this coming year
“Originally the association was a
-ellgious organization. It i 8 yet. but
religion chiefly directs it from within.
Its religion is practical not theoreti
cal An interesting service is held
every- Bunday afternoon to which
everybody is most cordially invited.
Forty-eight meetings have been neld
timing the year with an attendance
of 3280. There have been twenty-
nine requests for prayer and eleven
professed conversions A Bible class
for men has been taught by Rev. W.
H. Winters. This class was conduct-
el for three months with a good at-
tendance. No one can predict the far
reaching effects of this etets We
don't put enough emphasis on the
study of the Blsle. because we often
do not realize how Ignorant the world
is of this great book Young men
who keep themselves well informed in
other branches of study and activity |
utterly neglect the Bible. One young ।
man who joined our class said he h«d
never read any in the Bihle and that
all he knew about it was the story of
Samson. It is hard to believe one
could live in America and know no
more than this of the Bible yet that
was his testimony.
We are blessed with a most excel-
lant Indies' committee who have
charge of all of our social work and.
in addition to that have helped to
make the building more attractive
and homelike This association in

How War Motion-Pictures are Gotten.
In very recent wars the mot ion-pic
hire cameras have made their appear-
ance. Considering the difficulties at-
tending ordinary photography tn war
one can imagine at what expense of
money and labor —to say nothing of
courage—moving scenes on the firing
line are secured. C. Fred Ackerman
with whom I tented In China. Is un-
doubtedly the most successful of the
war motion-picture operators. His
first experience was in the Philippines
where lie secured in the face of tre-
mendous difficulties some remarkable
results. One picture in particular was
a wonderful bit of realism. Ackerman
had his camera right on the firing
line and two American soldiers were
hit. and fell directly in front of the
lons ami only a short distance away.
In the natural excitement of operat-
ing his camera under such circum
stances Ackerman did not know that
he had photographed two men in the
act of being struck down until many
months afterward when he saw the
picture exhibited In a Now York thea-
tre.'—Ererybody's Magazine.
