An Exnert Mexicnn RiIIlardIst.

The billiard players at Uallahan's saloon
last evening were treated to o surprise
party by some Of the members of the Mex
lean Orchestra. Three of them engaged in
game of billiards, and when the time came
for small-si2ed, smooth-faced member of
the party to play, the way he manipulated
the spheres showed that he was an expert
of no small note. The game was of the
three-b ball order, and lie made run of fifty
points with apparent case.

The Democratic Nominee for Goysrnop
OF Texas,

Mr.. Ross, who was recently nominated
unanimously by the Texas Democratic state
convention for the Office of governor, was
born in Bentonsport, Ind, Sept. %, 1888, but
spent his boyhood and early manhood in
Texas. At the age of l9 he entered the Flor
ence Wesleyan college, in north Alabama,
where be graduated with honors in the class
of 1853. During his vacation he conceived
the idea of going to the frontier on an ex-
petition against the Comanches, who were
committing numerous atrocities on the
settlers. After reaching the scene OF their
operations, his regiment had a bloody en-
gagement with the Indians, which resulted In
their defeat. An incident Of this expedition
was the rescue Of a little white girl who had
been for some time held in captivity by the
Indians. Her parents being unknown, Mr..
Ross charged himself with rearing and edu-
eating the orphan, sending her to a female
seminary, where she proved herself in every
way worthy of the care bestowed upon her.
She is now the vito of a wealthy merchant
of Los Angeles, Cal. While Mr.. Ross was
victorious in the engagement with the
Indians he did not come out unScathed, being
badly wounded in the arm by a rifle ball,
and also in the side. In 1889 he was placed
in command of the frontier by Governor Sam
Houston, with sixty men under his charge.
Having established his post, he proceeded on
another expedition against the Comanches,
and scored q complete victory. AT the
breaking out of the late civil wal Gen. Ross
resigned his commission and entered the COM
pany Of Capt. Peter +. Ross as a private.
He participated in 135 engagements, had
seven horses shot under him, and came out
of the war a brigadier general. In 1913 he
was elected sheriff of MsLennan county; in
1915 he was elected to the constitutional con-
vention, and in 1881 lie was elected to the
state Sanate

cInnati-New Chamber OF Commerce
The thirteenth annual Cincinnati exposition
is now in progress, and will continue till
October. The opening is claimed to have been
the finest show ever witnessed in the Queen
City. From the noise the usually quiet Gin
~cinnatians made that day, it seemed as If for
the time Solid Cincinnati, had been changed
into Chicago. ,
They had reason TO tickle themselves and
be happy. The procession inaugurating the
exhibition was six miles long. They say IL
was looked at by 10000 people, though per-
haps it may be necessary to fall a person OF
two in accepting this statement Of a reporter
in his enthusiasm. The greatest of Ohios
statesmen were present and made speeches.
among them Senator Sherman, Governor
Foraker and Congressman Butterworth. In
the course of his happy, though brief, re-
marks, Mr.. Butterworth made this striking
observation: Tho inventive genius OF man Is
the divinity within him, andi it never worked
TO the detriment of mankind"

different lays

Cincinnati seems to be having a boom in a
general way this year. A new bridge and
elevated railway across tho Ohio Is in CON
temptation, TO cost $~l0,O0O,0OO, making the
fourth bridge over the river here. The new
structure will have an elevated railway along
with its foot and passenger roads.
The chamber of building now
being rapidly completed, is seen in the illus,
tration. 1t will cost SGOO,OOO. Money is
plenty for public Uses in Cincinnati. That is
more than can be said of most cities. The
chamber of building will be u
handsome and imposing structure. 1t is at
the corner of Fourth and Race streets, upon
the site of the old puStOtiice. 1t is hoped and
believed that it will be genuinely fireproof
and no mistake.
One of the chief beauties about the new
ediflce in the eyes of C~incinnatians. is that it
will he paid for spot cash" when done, with
the exception of a comparatively small sum.
There will lie offices and rooms to rent in it
from which an income of S3O,0OO a year will
be had, Times have been supposed to Ike
hard since 1872, yet since then the trade in
certain lines has increased in Cincinnati some
7OO per cent.

ALLIGATOR A

A very curious case Of this kind is told, in
which n bird built its nests among the leaves
upOn the monsters back and did not know
any better. Mr.. COrycIl says:
"a plOver was 50 deceived as to build its
nest in the plant growth on the alhgator's
back. The living island so freighted tioated
slowly down the stream until it vas noticed
by q party Of boys who were ont fishing.
They saw the pIOver rise from the little
island, and suSpecting aneSt TO be there, they
gave up their fishing and rowed out to it.
They never suspected the nature of the
island until they had bumped their boat
rather rudely INTO it once or twice and SO
vexed the alligator that it opened its huge
mouth with u startling suddenness that
brought a chorus Of yellS from the nest rob-
bers and sent them Off in a fit mood to sym
pathize with the ployer, which was huttering
about and crying piteOuSly at the raid upon
its nest.
The poor bird was doomed to lose its nest,
however, for the alligator, having at last
been thoroughly reused, discovered how hun
CRY it was and dived down in search of food,
thus washing of island, nest and all"

The recent exhibition was probably thu
most important horse fair ever held in Amer
lea. Canada and the United States were
alike nobly represented. The jury Of award,
was appointed by the ministers of agricultur,
of France, Canada, and the United States.
About 81 700 In money was given as prizes
and many gold, silver and bronze medals
were distributed. The fact was plainly
brought TO light that Canada possesses some
of the finest horses in the world.
The Percheron craze is as pronounced else
where as in America. The animals are bought
up so fast by European nations, by Egypt,
South America, and even Japan that it is i'm,
possible to supply the full demand for them
in France. There are now some fifty Per
cheron breeders in Canada and the United
States.

INTERNATIONAL YACHTING.
The Steps by Which the Modern Yacht
Las Developed.

Tho Steps by Which the Modern Yacht
Las Developed.
Now that the American type Of yacht has
proved again the fieeteSt afioat, it is interest
ing 10 note the stages by which this degree Of
perfection has been reached. When racing
vessels were first built is unknown But that
such were in use by the northern nations Of
Europe is well atteSted. The sturdy old Morse
chieftainS were 50 proud Of their boats that
they insisted ON being buried in them. Many
Of their graves have been unearthed with the
hullS Of their vessels in sufficient preservation
TO show that in shape they were as beautiful
and perfect as anything we produce to-day
for propelling with oarS When the PhGni-
clans and Arsbians were contending for the
India trade q model of sailing ship was deyel
oped which was strikingly similar to the old
time clipper ships, which came after. The feet
neSS OF these latter ~sailers, was sacrificed TO
the requirements OF commerce.
The firSt yacht club on record was the
Royal Cork Yacht Cub, organized in ITO.
It demonstrated the necessity for speed Of
sharp bows and hollow garboardS, instead Of
the bullying hulls that were common up TO
that time. Their yachts were richly carved
and gilded. The next lesson the British adj
miralty learned in the art Of building feet

ExpoSITIoN BUILDING.

The beautiful Cincinnati exposition Is one
that artists never tire Of copying. Many llhe
views OF it nave been taken from different
points. It's architecture is unique and unsur-
passed.
So was the procession that ~inaugurated this
great display of the victories of peace. The
line of carriages was led by one containing
Senator John Sherman and Governor For
aker In som features the procession was n
sort of carnival show, initiating the groteSque
and the comic with solid business advertising,
A group Of byciclists formed parto II, lldlhg
slowly and solemnly upon their shining
wheels. Among them was a tricycle. con
tanning II lady and gentleman.
The Geological garden in Cincinnati had
been levied OH for Il contribution gathered
from many lands. A great elephant, with Il
load Of merry children in a cage upon MS
back, paced along Snutiing the ground with
his trunk, and wondering what it was all for.
A troop Of living little Shetland ponies,
ridden 10y gayly dressed, pretty children, fol
lowed the elephant. But the part Of the
Geological contribution which attracted most
attention was an immense leopard. 1t lay III
the bottom of a light cage ut the feet of its
keeper, sometimes raising its paw toward
him, playfully, 50 it was said. But what an
awful row he might have raised, a consterna
ton and a panic, with one little stroke OF that
paw. Spectators looked at him with great
interest, and were relieved when he had
passed. He was like a ghost story, intensely
Fascinating just because he was a little
scary.
The floral show this year, it is believed, will
he surprising. 1t must he remembered that
Cincinnati set the fashion Of industrial ex-
positions in America. Her first one was held
in 1870, in an implanted, barnlike, wooden
structure. The shed was temporary, and was
soon pulled down, Unplaned board walls
were the background for the high art display
which the spectators looked at that year,
These implanted barns were thought good
enough for expoSitions in those days all over
the country. We have changed our ideas
since then.
Special attractions for various days Of the
great how is the programme for expositions
III recent years. Interest had quite died out
in viewing, year after year, the same indus
trial products, arranged in the same order,
However excellent, they got very tame at
last. The modern exposition Is more like an
entertainment than u fair. Cincinnati has Il
very full list Of the special attractions for
different days.

When to Pick Pears.

1t would seem that people who grow pears
should by this time have learned when to
pick them, but such is not the case with
many. Every season, and already this
season we have seen illustrations Of the error,
pears are allowed to ripen on the tree. When
pears have reached their growth and will
separate from the twig without breaking the
stem, they are about ready to pick. Picked
thus and allowed to ripen in the house, shut
out from the light when possible, they will be
at their best. If allowed to ripen on the tree
they are sure to be greatly deficient in flavor
and often rot at the center, while the ex-
terror is still fair. Watch your pears and
pick them in time.

The above sketch of the Galatea and May
flower as they appeared in running beforethe
wind in one of the recent races gives an eX-
cellant idea OF the number Of sails that are
crowded on to a modern yacht, and also the
beautiful curves the outlines of these sails as
sumo when filed by the wind. 1t is in the
shape, size and management of sails that the
greatest improvements have been made OF
late years. In this both countries have made
equal strides. But it is TO the use OF the
Yankee centerboard that American yachts
owe most of their superiority, and it is only
by adopting it that crafts Of other countries
may successfully compete for the interna'
tional challenge cup.
