POUDRE TETE.
A Novel and Brilliant Entertain
ment to a Beautiful Debutante.

The residence of Mr.. and Mrs. E.. M.
A House on West avenue, was, ON Monday
evening last, the scene of brilliant and
y unique assembly. The entertainment was
german given by Mrs. House to her
4 beautiful and accomplished sister, Miss
Hunter, who this season enters the gay
world of society. The cards of invitation
demanded of each guest that he or she
should appear with hair powdered, and
all obeyed the command, and in addition
added liberal application of rouge to
their faces and the indispensable bit OF
black court plaster on the left cheek. The
effect was striking one, familiar faces
being in many instances entirely strange
at first glance, and the change was in
every case most becoming.
The gentlemen, not being accustomed
to the unusually heightened color of their
compilations, found much difficulty at first
in restraining themselves from putting
their handkerchiefs to their faces when the
dancing had set the blood into quicker cir
culation and increased materially the tenn
perature of the evening, but the ladies
appeared very natural and self posse Ssed.
The halls and parlors were gardens of
flowers. just within and appended above
an Above in the front parlor was beauti- |
full parasol of chrysanthenums, while Just
off from the rear parlor was perfect |
bower of trailing vines and moses in which |
were served, la carte, the refreshments
of the evening. This bower ives illumi-
mated by unique designs of Japanese
lanterns, and was beautiful, picturesque
and enchanting scene.
The souvenir favors were rich and ele-
giant and will be long preserved by those
present in some remembrance of the
charming debutante, Miss Hunter, and of
an entertainment which, for unique
novelty, magnifcence and thorough
enjoyment has not been excelled in the
lsociety history of Austin.

A Noisy Crowd.

Again last night The STATESMAN bull.
letined the election news, and it attracted
a big crowd, among which was the noisy,
irrepressible small boy, any number of
bowling dogs and score of vociferous
tin horns.
The crowd was composed largely of pa
triotio republicans, it being a night when
patriotic democrats always like to be at
home around their iresides.
They had enough of celebrating four
years ago to do them for eight years, and
they could afford to stay at home last
night. If the republicans want to roar
themselves hoarse on a damp, dismal
night let 'em do so. Who the mischief
cares? ...... .....,
It's time some of the democrats are out
OF pocket, and some, among whom is the
city editor, have lost all their clothing.
The editor, however, has an umbrella left,
and if things come to the worst 1t can be
utilized. ...
The crowd last night while terribly up.
roarous and noisy, was good humored
and nothing occurred to create discord.
Poor old republicans will get all the
cussin' for the next four years.

Badly Beaten Up.

George Sharp tanked up yesterday aft
ernoon and conceived brilliant plan to
relieve the monotony of election times.
He, therefore, proceeded to the classic
precincts of the First ward and, entering
Mollie Seymour's proceeded to beat up one
of the inmates, Maud James, having pre-
viously, with the utmost consideration,
secured a bedslat for that purpose.
He beat her over the head, and that not
being satisfactory he slashed her in the
left side with small knife. He would
have done SO with a large one but didn't
happen to have one about him.
After he had succeeded in pounding up
the woman pretty well Officer DeFraisses,
with the aid of several police officers, ap-
peared upon the scene, and after much
trouble succeeded in landing Sharpe in
the cooler. Maud James is very pain
fully but not seriously injured.

THAT 100000 CAPITAL PRIZE.

"That was the first time I ever bucked
at lottery" said young Edward M. Casey
to Picaune representative on Wednesday
last. He was waiting at the Louisiana State
Lottery office on st. Charles street for a
check for $4,000, which was being drawn
up as payment of part of the second cap

tone peculiar to one who feels an interest

"Quite nice little sum for 81. When
did you buy the ticket and what number

At this juncture in the conversation one
of the gentlemen came from behind the

"Here is a check for 5000 on the New
Orleans National Bank, Mr.. Casey. Pleaee
bet me have your ticket"

Colonel Tom Anderson.

AS will be seen, Colonel Tom Anderson
publishes card in to-dsy's STATESMAN
denying the statement made yesterday
that ne attempted to get control of the
ballot box at Duval on the day of election.
The notice was sent to The STATESMAN
Office along with the returns, and not
knowing it referred to Colonel Anderson
it was published. No man in the county
stands higher in the estimation of the
people than Colonel Tom Anderson, and
the idea that he would NEEDLE with an
election box Is simply ridiculous. He
denies the charge, as will be seen, rather
vigorously.

THE TEXAS CAPITOL
AS Viewed by Col. E. P. Howell
and Governor Mcdaniel,

AS Viewed by Col. E. P. Howell
and Governor Mcdaniel.
From the Atlanta Constitution.
One OF the chief objects of interest to
the distinguished Georgians who recently
visited Texas was the new capitol.
Col. E. P. Howell, whose service on the
Georgia capitol commission has given
him thorough acquaintance with the re-
quirements of public buildings, was es-
pecially interested in the Texas capitol,
and examined it with good deal of care.
Speaking of it he said:
"The capitol is built of granite and Is
about one-third larger than our capitol.
1t is very handsome building, costing
about $5,00O,0O0.
"The interior finish is not as fine as our
Georgia capitol; they use the encaustic
| tile where we use marble, and none of the
wainscotting is marble. The variety of
hard wood used is not as great as in our
capitol; the finish on the walls is plain,
and ours will be frescoed in the halls and
corridors"
"The general appearance of the build
capitol, because it is not as we'll proper
toned. 1t presents very handsome ap-
pearance on account of the large grounds
and the magnitude of the building"
"The steps are made of iron and ours
are marble, and they have granite steps
inside where we have marble steps. The
main representative hall is 97x147 feet
and ours is about 70x80.
nIu -
building is that the halls of the senate and
house OF representatives are lighted from
above in addition to the windows, which
are under the gallery, and there will nee
essarily be too much glare and sunshine
from the glass roof. Something will have
to be done to prevent it from being
troublesome to the members.
"The contractors taking the job of
building the capitol have 100000 acres
of land that was estimated at that time to !
be worth at least 81 an acre. Since the |
time they undertook the contract railroad
has been running through this land, and
now it is said to be worth S. per acre. 1t |
is located in the panhandle region, not far |
from the Red river country, and is some
of the best land in the state. One thing
is sure, the contractors made a great deal |
more out of the Texas capitol than our
building cost"
EX-GOVERNOR M'DANIKL.
Ex-Governor Mcdaniel was at the capt.
tol yesterday morning. He = said, in
speaking with Colonel Tip Harrison, that
in point of interior arrangement, ventila-
tion, lighting and general symmetry the
new state capitol at Austin, Texas, could
not be compared to ours. Governor
Mcdaniel, while in Texas with Mr.. Grady's
party, had an opportunity of making
a critical examination of the new capitol.
He says it is an immense building, GOO
feet long, and the exterior is remarkably
handsome, but the interior is not nearly
SO well arranged as ours, nor ia the inter
ior work as handsome. He thinks our
new capitol is better adapted in every way
for its purposes than the Texas one, and
that Georgia hes every reason to feel
proud of it.

THE BATTLE OVER.
A Very Quiet Election in the City
and County.
A Full Vote Polled and Much
Scratching INDUCED In by
the Voters.

The battle of the ballots has been
fought to the end. 1t closed last after
noon at O'Clock when the forces ceased
from their conflict and became eager to
learn the result of the days fight, the Gull
mlnation of two months exceedingly
exciting campaign. 1t is over now and
the asperities engendered will soon soften
and pass away and all things again settle
down Alright, for the people have spoken
and to their voices all must bow.
Here in the city business was almost
suspended. The fight at the polls was an
earnest one. Each candidate and his
friends worked hard to win votes and VIC
tory for himself. Around the polls all was
activity and hustle. Everybody was in
earnest and everybody worked hard but
quietly.
The result of the days fight in the CITY
and county will be found elsewhere.
During the day speculation was rife
as to the result of the national election
and up to late hour bets could be OBJ
tanned that Cleveland would be elected.
The result as far as received will be found
in the telegraph columns.
Nearly all the interest yesterday fixed
upon the state of New York and it's vote
up to late hour is given elsewhere. In
this connection the following is given, it
being the New York Worlds estimates
made few days ago after careful and
impartial canvass of the state. Compare
it with the vote in the telegraph columns
The correspondents were instructed to tell the
truth as they wnre able to ascertain it, The re-
licans will come to the Harlem River on the s,
OF November with something like plurality of
$1,000 to 10000 for Harrison. The dem ocratic
managers in the counties below the Harlem claim
that they will be able to overcome this plurality

THE BULLETINS.
Along about 1870 last evening a stream
of humanity set in toward Sixth street,
and soon that thoroughfare in front of
The STATESMAN Office was seething mass
of humanity bent on reading the bulle-
tins as they were flashed on the screen.
During the early part of the evening
many ladies were among the
crowd, taking great interest in the
returns as they were displayed.
The crowd was enthusiastic, and as
favorable news was received for Cleveland
the democrats would yell and the repub-
licans looked dismal. Then something
favorable for Harrison would fash out
and the republicans would set up tri-
umphant howl, while the democrats would
look dismal.
The crowd was good humored to the
end, and 1t was late hour before the last
one turned homeward.
The returns of the election are given
this morning as full as it was possible to
do. The rains and the threatening of
stormy weather last night prevented the
country precincts from sending in re-
turns.
