VERY CHANGEABLE.
"One Moment You IJeauteotis Angel See
the Next a Hideous Demon
Huape Appears."
There Is a white lady living on Lavaca
street remarkable for the ease with which she
can at any time transform herself so to
speak from a gentle lamb into a roaring lion-
For instance the elasticity of her temperament
both mentally and bodily is often displayed to
Its fullest advantage on Sundays. The lady
very probably coincides with the saying
'Better the day better the deed ;" if so she
illustrates her agreement with the above very
forcibly. She sets out for church to all ap
pearances the most humble and penitent of
women walking with a slow and thoughtful
step composed in mind and body. On her re
turn home the scene changes. The devils wand
with sharp envenomed touch her peaceful
mind has filled with furious thought"
screams and cries arouse the neighbors. "Oh
it is only Mrs. so and so come home from
church and beating her daughters as usual'
says one. Yes. so It Is: week dars and Sun'
days she frequents church while her home
she makes into a kind of infernal region. The
neighbors hope she will see this as a kind of
warning otherwise should she continue to
persist In her present way she may lave to
answer for her behavior in court.
IT WASAMAN.
An Interesting Episode In the Lire or tli
Original Zui.l.
Apropos of Zazel's visit to San Antonio
the writer remembers how the original Zazel
appeared and how "she" was received by the
Eoglish dudes. Presents of jewelry and flowers
were continually sent to "her." "She"
feted to her heart's content and some even
went so far as to offer her marriage which she
declined. This made the youths all the more
anxious to possess "her" and the continued
to be the object of attention until during an
engagement at the Dublin rotunda she fell
and was much injured. The charming Zazel
as she was pettishly termed was picked up in'
sensible and taken to the female ward of the
Dublin hospital for medical treatment when
oh horror Zazel was found to be a man. lie
was at once transferred to the male ward and
as the secret leaked out he lost his adorers
and great deal of popularity.
COUNTY SCHOOLS AND ROADS.
The Condition or the Salado uud Olmoa
School and Neighboring Koads.
County Judge Mason and County Commit'
tloners paid a visit yesterday to several
schools and examined the county toads.
I hey found the Salado and Olmos schools
verysuccesslul and in excellent condition but
a fence Is badly needed at the latter school.
Salado school Is exceedingly well conducted
and the English language Is well taught there.
The Locke Hill and Selma roads are reported
at being in good condition.
The County Commissioners intend having
alt county schools visited and tested. Atten-
tion is also to be paid to Ihe Improvement of
the I'lcasanton road at Medina crossing and
at the crossing on the Palo Pinto which badly
needs grading and repairing for which work
estimates are now being prepared.
ANOTHER VIEW.
(IoimI llea.ons ahoun Why the Ileal l!aUto
Ow nor Hboulil HiitHirt Itallrond.
A prominent banker in the North who has
visited San Antonio and who is thoroughly
acquainted with rcnulremonts of this section
thus writes Messrs. Patterson & Chandler:
"I heard that llrcckenridge had killed the
railroad project to the gulf by one word. 'No
water no railroad.' You are growing so fast
(and It appears to me unlike many western
towns are likely to hold your growth) that
your every need will press you into timely
action. Your real estate owners are more in-
terested than your business men as the latter
might leave but the former cannot take their
land with them. They are Ihe ones to move
with vigor in railroad mallets as well as
drainage and paying for Ihey are the onet to
profit most by a growing and Inviting city for
residence and business."
A DANGEROUS SLEEP.
Sleeping Jamti Dillon I Hun Over by u
raaalng Train.
A laborer named lames Dillon was lirmmtit
in- yesterdrv from SnolTbrJ tunrtinn. .n.1
taken to Ihe Santa Rosa hospital. One of
nis legs was to badly mangled that he had to
have it amputated soon after his arrival.
Dillon' account of the accident Is that he
had been drinking freely on the night before
the accident and started up the track to go to
bed. He went to tleep on the way and doet
not remember anything until he v. as run over
by a train. The Doctors say the man Is In a
very critical condition and there are rmr
doubtt as to whether he may not die.
They Coiuplntii.
Complaints are being made about the man
nerin which Mexicans and others behave
themselves in the rear and on the side nearest
the river of the French building. The police
will no doubt see to it.
Hied.
James Dillon the man whose fool was
crushed In an accident while on the way to
Eagle Pass and who was brought here for
treatment died yesterday after Ihe amputation
of Ihe limb at the Santa Rosa hospital.
A 1'otly WeTld7ntT.
Mr. P. IT. Petty the proprietor of Ihe Pacific
hotel was married last evening at the Adams
house to Miss Mattle Thornton wlio was
formerly cashier to Mr. I.. Wolfson. The
Rev. W. II. Dodson officiated and several
friends attended to wish the happy couple a
lull snare 01 matrimonii 1 joys.
1:11 Itouto for Justice.
Yesterday the Vasquez brothers accused ol
theft from the stores of Freyer Bros. Stelnle
and Joe Beckmin had their cases continued
in Justice Adam's court yesterday. The
goods were found in possession of Ihe priso
ners when Detective Hughes raided the house
across the San Pedro and arrested several
Meaicin burglars.
The Circus.
A very Urge crowd assembled last night at
the circus and though It is by no means Ihe
best that has visited the city It apparently
pleased the immense audience. The riding of
William Showles Sallie Marks and Ella
Stokes the acrobatic performance ol the
Scgrest Brothers and the daring feats of Zazel
were much admired. Later in Ihe evening
the canvas was struck and the circus men left
taking with them several thousand dollars.
It is a strange thing how any kind of a circus
will draw all manner and races of people to
gcther.
Catching un to HI He.li.
A well known San Antonio drummer wat
riding on a ttreet car last night to the Interna
ttonal depot and at the car was crowded had
to ride on the platform of the car. In turning
Ihe car at the Houston street turn-table the
drummer was thrown off and In doing so
caught hold of a boy who was also on the
platform and thereby saved himself from fall-
ing on his back but he nearly pulled the boy
olf. When all was right again the boy said
"Ihe next lime ycu catch on to ms take hold
of ray clothes not my flesh fjr you nearly
pulled a piece out of me" and by the wry
face he made at the time of the pulling there
can be no doubt that what he said was true.
Caught In the Act.
Colored whites Germans Frenchmen and
every kind of nationality was gathered around
the circus last night. Such a concourse such
an element must be watched and Officer
Martinez is there to watch Ihem. It it getting
late 1 people are thronging to the thow. A
young lady and gentleman are trying to push
their way through the crowd. Behind them a
dark hand Is stretched forth from the crush; a
snatch and some beautiful ribbons which
adorned the young lady's head are gone.
