The Dallas Journals are awaking
to the tact that the great metropolis
of north Texas is without a water
supply. The cry now comes that the
river supply, such as it is, is running
short and that some new course Of
water must be sought for. The cho.
colate colored trinity even is a desld-
eratum in that Thirsty city where
little water and no good beer is found,
San Antonio has benefits without
money and without price which her
citizens, accustomed to as to their
native air, do not realize the value Of

There was great deal Of good-natured
rivalry over the award OF the toilet set
to the most popular young lady. The
time was extended from IL o. elock when
Miss Miss Monnig was first and Miss
Steinfeldt second, until the ball closed.
A dark horse entered the race after that
turn and captured the stakes. The win
ner was Miss Bertha Rabb, with 655
voters, while Miss Steinfeldt lacked
about 100 of that number, and Miss Mon
mig came in third. The toilet set is an
elegant one with q silver vase and beau
tifully colored china bottles.

INDIANAPOLIS, ISD., May A. Director
Schmidt OF the old bali club is in Plttsbure, and
it is known ON reliable authority is arranging
for the transfer Of the club OF that city TO Indian
Apolis, notwithstanding Nick Ycung's denial
that Pittsburg is to go ont. When Brush
agreed 20 transfer SIX players to New York
Indianapolis 10 into the season Glasscock and
one other player. probably Boyle or Rusie, were
to return provided the amount OF advance
money paid them by New York was refunded.
Brush has all along desired the club, but his
fellow directors were not in favor Of it. Thomas
Wiley, president, is overcome, and his recent
admission that he would not interfere with
Pittsburgs coming here Is now shown up in its
true light. When the Pittsburg club completes
its trip IL will not return TO its old abode, but
will land in Hoosierdom.

The Texas Spring Palace is an original
conception for presenting to the public
the products and resources of the state.
1t is not fair, in any sense of the term,
but "Karporama "A picture of sthe
fruits of the soil, tho orchard esfz
den, the farm, the forsse tHe mines,
the streams xFcdght into form
and shape Hlfs Great ingenuity and ar
tistie;si7a. The visitor who attends the
Palace to see crazy quilts, lace handker-
chiefs, embroidery, threshing machines,
clothes wringers, etc., etc., will find
these articles conspicuous only by their
absence. The grains Of the country he
will find represented by beautiful pic
ture of the goddess of the forest, con-
structed of cereals, and clad In raiment
made of the same material, the whole
attractive aud pleasing. Every product
of the soil is treated IN the same manner,
and when finished the whole Palace pre-
sents more the appearance OF scene
from Fairyland, than gathering of the
products of the earth.
In addition to this she threshed grains
and other products are presented by
samples in show cases, on shelves and in
glass jars, neatly arranged for exhibit
ton.
The birds of the state are there, treated
by the Taxidermist's nrt, and the fishes
swimming in their native element, in
glass aquariums. There are also the
song birds by the hundreds. whose voices
fill the building with sweet notes, ATTEST
ing their appreciation of the beautiful
scene that surrounds them. 1t were
futile to attempt description of this
wonderful work. A few have attempted
it, and we reproduce the efforts of some
Of the more distinguished. The Fort
Collins (Col.) Courier condensed the
whole in q single sentence, enchanting:
''It rivals all the visions of youthful
fancy"
The Bucyrus (ohio) Telegraph, recog-
nizing the poverty of the English Ian
guage to do the subject justice, said:
'fIt is indescribable. The greatest ex-
position ever before the people. One Is
dazsd by the splendor which greets the
sye.''
The Evansville Qnd.) Courier said:
''Itis magnificent structure, built
entirely of products from Texas. It is
grand object lesson, showing the world,
at glance, what Texas is, and what she
has to offer to capital and immigration. -

effort to enlarge upon it to some extent,

At the latest account from the pump

showed signs Of rising.

enough the enterprising people or that

Under the influence of the rains yester-

A Successful and Orderly Demonstration.
LONDON, May 4.-To-day 3 labor dem
onstration in Hyde park was magnia-
cent success, and excelled in point of
numbers and orderly enthusiasm all
working class gatherings since the great
reform assemblage in 1866. The splen-
did organization of different sections
taking part in the PROFESSIONS brought
together in the park q half million of
people, who met, went through their
business and dispursed without single
incident occurring Of disorderly char
aoter. Leading sections of trade coun-
ellis, which included eight groups, repre-
senting leather trades, metal and cabinet
workers, and shipping, clothing,
painting, paper and building
trades. These bodies, in which
were numerous related trades, mustered
IN the specified districts of the metropolis
early in the forenoon and marched,
headed by their leaders with bands and
banners, toward the Thames embank-
ment, central point, whence the mar
shaded array was ordered to start for the
park. At O'Clock the embankment
gave no promise of any demonstration
beyond the rapidly increased masses of
siKl1t-seers. Soon after that hour the
first column of the procession was seen
advancing with brave show OF banners
towards the National Liberal club, and
before long the embankment as far as
the eye could reach was a dense macs of
moving plumee, all keeping admirable
order. The leaders on horseback guided
the different sections towards their
proper places, and mounted policemen,
by arrangement with the trades councils,
assisted in the formation OF ranks. The
gigantic procession was timed to start ut
3 clock and punctually at that hour it
moved off amid thunderous cheers and
blending music of their bands. The
route toward the park was along Bridge
street, ST. James park and Birdcage
walk, which were lined with spectators.
The master OF artisans guided the parade
on the way until on entering the park.
The number of men in line was estimated
ar 100, 900. simultaneously with the ap-
pearRnoe in the park with the trades
column, others entered the ranks
and marched from different points
convereing toward two platforms IN the
park, ell especially allotted to Socialist
speakers. The Railway workers union
had special professions, some of whlch
swelled the emhankment columns, while
others marched toward the platform GEN.

the various professions is estimated at

tastness of the assemblage gathered
around on the three platforms upon
which the labor advocates held forth.
The speakers included Mr.. Davitt, Mr..
Cunningham Graham, John Burns,
Thomas Mann. Benjamin Tillett. Mrs.
Aveling and Annie Besant. By clock
the park was deserted and the thorough
fares were full of orderly crowds stream
