to compete for the first prize, and
were terribly disappointed when they
learned there was no baby show at the
Dallas State Fair. They said some
newspaper published that there would
be. Tho specimens, however, were
decidedly fine, and one black-cyed dar-
ling, II months old, would certainly
have captured the prize, especially if
your reporter had been the committee.
THE CHINESE FIGURE
Placed on the base Of Rcinhardt Il
Co.'s pyramid exhibit, is an automatic
chair, in which is seated the figure of
Chinese woman, who is made to rock
herself, use her fan, shake her head,
and otherwise appear natural. The
gentleman who dances in attendance
does his part with the grace Of Chcs-
terrified
INDIANS.
About thirty bucks and a dozen
squaws marched from the grand stand
to exposition hall this afternoon deck
ed out in full uniform and the usual
war paint" A more hidcous sight in
the shape of humanity could hardly be
conceived, still it was attractive.
AN ACCIDENT.

by the name Of Sharp was inside of ii
giving il send of. lie was knocked
almost scnselcss and entirely helpless.
There was no physician on the ground
accessible at the time, and it was inn
possible to tell how badly he was in
jured. His right arm was paralyzcd
and is useless, but whether by the
shock or broken could not be ascer-
tanned at the hour Of going to press.
Three other men were standing near,
but with the exception of backcncd
faces and terrible fright no damage
was done them.

New Cars.
The Ervay and Commerce street rail
way has just received three beautiful
new street cars out of six ordered.
They are pure white, as all the cars
on this line will be, with gold trim
mings. These cars are avast improve
ment OH all other cars in the city not
only in beauty and style but in conven-
fences. For instance, there is crank
at each end by turning which the driv-
or can open the rear door for ladies
or close it if some uncouth man leaves
it open. They have fare box at each
end with window for change Just
over them. When the driver revcrses
his engines from one end Of the car to
the other he places in the opening Of
the rear fare box a handsome brass
Stat with the words engraved on il:
"Pay in the front box This is an in
vention of Capt W. c. Connor.
The windows do not reach quite
to the top of the cars thus
allowing free ventilation. On the
wheels are patent dust-proof boxes
which keep out all dust and prevent
hot boxes. The aXles are creased
through hole in these boxes, closed
by screw. The cars have four bells,
and pretty, neat and most comfortable
seats. The continuation of the line
through Commerce 10 Preston and
Preston to Swiss avenue, where the
people want no convenienccs, and don't |
seem to have found out they don't live |
in the country, will be open to travel |
next week. 1t is a splendid line, with
cypress ties and steel rails. In one of
these new cars some tramp evidently |
Travelled from ST. Louis here, as cigar
stumps, ham bones and the debris of
other viands were left in it.
