THE DORIS CIRCUS 1.-THE DATE
POSITIVE, In DALLAS, OCT. 22


The general matter in conversation seems
to be the advent of the Great Inter. Ocean
Circus and menagerie which exhibited IN
this city about twelve months ago. and
owing to the iDclemency OF the weather
which was very bad-a great many OF our
citizens failed to witness the performance
However, all those who saw it speak in high
terms concerning the qualities and the
management. the public have great hopes
in Mr.. Doris this season and expect to see the
largest circus ever in Texas. The excelleh-
ce of the parade is feature worth going
one hundred miles to see-and the watch
word-Doris carries out the letter OF his
advertisement, issues from the criticisms or
the press-they all say: A great deal has
been looked for In this circus, it has been
we'll advertised and promised so many
treats. and we are glad to say they were
not disappointed, for the programme as
advertised has been faithfully carried
out.
With such recommendations the treat
Inter Ocean can expect to do an immense
business on Oct. %.
Mr.. Doris agents say they care for no
opposition, as the shows reputation In the
State of Texas is good enough to warrant
liberal patronage, and when the arrange
ments are consummated for exhib'ting the
greatest of all wonders, Jumbo" and the
celebrated IN ubian" family, their success is
established. Mr., Doris Is now making ar
rangements for the advent of these csle.
brated and world reputed features. and
from latest reports will succeed In In
ducing Mr.. Barnum to allow him to exhibit
Jumbo" and the "Nubian" family. IL
will be their first appearance In Texas. and
will bring thousands Of people from the
neighboring towns. With these iea,ures,
and the Great Iuter. Ocean combined we
can look for the biggest and best show that
ever visited Texas So be on the look out
for Jumbo and Doris.
E. H. Davis, the representative ct the
show is still In the city having made Dallas

An Anecdots of Aaron Burr.
New YOrK city a few weeks since died

In New YORK city few weeks since died
Miss Theodosia Burr Davis, in her seventy
seventh year, only sister of Colonel Geo. +.
NJ. Davis, we'll known to some of the older
residents of st. Louis as formerly promi-
nent member of the Illinois bar, aid-de-
camp to General James Shields, in the
Mexican war, and in 1S49-5l editor Of a
newspaper in this city. Miss Davis was
lady of brilliant and highly cultivated in
tellect. fine conversational powers and re-
markable energy. Though tried BY disap-
she retained her vivacity and wit almost to
the last, while by life which was, In most
respects, one long self.sacrifice, she won
and kr pt the esteem and affection of large
circle OF relatives and friends. Her virtues,
however, were so entirely domestic and pri-
yate that the only excuse for their brief
notice is the fact that she was indirectly
connected with an historical parsonage Id
v bonn the public is always interested.
the father of Miss Davis died young, and
she was left to the guardianship of his
brother, Matthew l.. Davis, the intimate
friend and biographer of Aaron Burr--one
of that little band of devoted adherents
who never abandoned their unfortunate
chief, and who we're known in those days
as ',Burrs Teath.- Legion" Though she
bore the name ofhis idOlzed daughter, and
was the niece and ward Of a mau SO closely
associated with him, Miss Davis never saw
Burr but vice. Their first meeting made
a profound impression upon her, as well 1t
might. She was at her uncle's house,
spending a portion of school vacation,
when one morning, when she was upstairs,
he called to her to come down as there was
"A visitor who wished to see her. For some
reason she never could explain, she had an
unde Unable dread of this unknown visitor.
aud did not at once obey the summons. IL
was repeated with emphasis which put an
end to further hesitation, ana she came
down. Mr.. Davis took her by the hand
and they entered the parlor. There sue
saw, sitting on sofa, little Old man,
dressed in the fashion of a past generation,
with hair us white as snow, and eyes SO lus-
trous and piercing that she could not resist
their fascination. With the stately cour.
tesy of an ancient regime, her uncle led
her toward the stranger and said: Colonel
Burr, this is the child OF whom spoke.
need not tell you whose name she bears"
The old man arose, and, grasping both her
hands in his, held her at arms length, gaz-
log into her lace with those marvellous eyes
as IL he would read her very soul. The or
deal lasted bu: moment though 1t seemed
an age TO the timld girl; then her hands
we're dropped, and Burr exclaimed In falt-
eriDg voice: Take her away, Matthew, l
cannot stand i'll" Once afterward they
met acciden,ly on Broadway. She hurried
past without speaking, but Burr stopped,
and as she looked round she saw his eyes
following IN long, wistful gaze as II they
would draw back to him the bearer OF that
beloved name.-T5t. Louis Republican.
