Pretty Bunch of Lilacs.

Those who have heard this neat flower
song by Chas. Gardner will linger long at
the railing of the pretty flower exhibit of
Mr.. +. h. ROSenberger's North Flores,
street nursery. Down to the right of the
main entrance, stands beautiful pyra-
mid of green house pot growing plants,
containing specimens of almost every
conceivable kind of uplant, either in bud
or in bloom. To the right of this pyra--
mid. are number of pot growing plants,
and here are to be found some of the most
beautiful cut flowers put up in boquets,
hanging baskets and fine symetricaI
marriage bell made entirely of roses OF
every shade and kind.
Mr.. Rosenberger has taken eighteen
blue ribbons in Class 81 of the horticul-
tural department which speaks decidedly
well for the exhibit.
Today the awards in the cut flowers,
class 81, will be made, and this exhibitor
has some of the finest cut flowers at his
stand.

CIeyeIand,s NIinstrels.

Much has been heard of these MINISTRIES
and much has been said, but the half has
not been heard or told of them. They
appeared last night at the Grand opera
house to an audience that was so packed
that standing room only was the order
after the doors were opened. The Minis
trelS have worked wonders in reforming
the old style of burnt cork business and
as the curtain rises the beholder is aston
ished at the picturesque and rich
stage settings and the grouping
Of the entire company and or
chestra. A design of Span
ish palace has been copied with all its
rich tapestries of satin and velvet, cover
ing walls and ceiling and making a grand
picture with a beautifully draped portiere
of satin, drawn gracefully aside at the
proScenium.
The interlocutor is no longer in the
center of the first part. Instead, you see
a stately Spanish grandee, while on either
hand, instead of the usual sentimental
lists, you find Spanish cavaliers, richly
coStumed, and the bones and tambOS are
transformed into Figaros. The first part
was splendid and was followed by Sweat
man,. Rice and Wall in burlesque sketch
entitled "Oratory," which convulsed the
audience.
Then came the drill of the Lohengrin
Knights in shining armOr, and to quick
step music they performed some pretty
evolutions.
They were followed by the comical
musical sketch artists, Howe Il wall,
and their Sweatnam, the originator OF
the "Monologue," gave the audience some
choice conversation for more than fifteen
minutes, which, however, was not at all

Messrs. Rinaldo and Girard, the gym

quickly by the wonderful Japs in feats OF

A Fast Run.

CAIRO, ILL.,, October 10.-The good
condition of the Cairo division of the
Big Four was demonstrated a few
days ago in run between Paris, ILL.,,
and Parker City, its junction with the
Cairo Short Line, a distance of ia
miles. The occasion was meeting
of the stock holders of the Cairo Short
Line at Paducah. Charles F. Pea
body, of New York, president of the
board, en- route to attend the meeting,
missed connection at Paris and was
furnished a special by the Big Four

directors. The speed of the train av-

more thoroughly than we do the wonder
full push and energy of the American ma
ton, her grand achievements in the
sciences and the arts, her wonderful and
stable republican institutions, her able
and enterprising press, her immense and
varied resources, the manly virtues of her
sons and the beauty and lovely charac-
teristics of her daughters. Applause
And here let me pay just tribute TO your
women. who. by their Self-devotiou in the
hours of trial and suffering, rendered
those troubles light, and who, by their
grace and accomplishments, lend double
attraction TO the American home.
Il will conclude these deSultory re-
marks, again thanking you in the name
of Mexico's first executive officer for the
kind invitation extended to him, hoping
that the greatest success may be attain
ed by this exhibition. May it be pleas
antly remembered by all who are pres
ent and its results be far reaching and
beneficial. May this and the succeeding
San Antonio exhibitions serve to render
closer the commercial relations existing
between the United States and Mexico
and to increase the wealth and prosperity
of both republics, so that side by side
they may continue along the pathway OF
advancement, without encountering any
obstacles on their way, protected under
the folds of each others flag-the red,
white and blue with the stars and stripes
on the one side, and the green, white and
red with the eagle and the prickly pear
on the other, while both leave inscribed
on their national embemS the same
motto. that shall ever point to them the
true pathway-the words that constitute
their guiding star, and which are on
everybody'S lips, the words Independence
and Progress"
The races had diminished attendance
yesterday and though the track was real
ly fast the talent did not seem to appre-
ciate it. The stallion trot, trial speed for
stations. was not down on the program,
and mi ght just as well have been finished
in one heat as VIM. Hill could have left
Baby Reno and Independence at the %
post had he so desired.
The races today promise to be more in
tereSting and a good deal off money will
change hands on some of the events.
The fireworks display this evening will
eclipse that of Wednesday evening and
they were the finest yet seen in Texas.
This display will include some of the
pieces so popular on last eXhi-
bition night and some new
features will be introduced. The
portraits of mayors of leading American
cities will be displayed, that of Bryan
Callaghan among the number.
No entertainment ever offered in the
South for 80 cents equals that of the
music and fire works display offered to-
night by the Fair association.

SAFE DEPOSIT VAULTS.

Attempts TO drown the sense of
misfortune in strong drink are the
climax of human folly. IntoxicatioD
eventually aggravates and intensifies
every evil which it is invoked to
alleviate. 1t has been thus from the
day whsn man first "put an enemy
in his mouth to steal away his brains,'
and thus it will be to the end of time.
No sane and sober man denies the
fact. Even the habitual drunkard,
in his brief intervals of reason, shud-
deringly admits it. Yet thousands
of intelligent beings-many of them
richly endowed with mental gifts
seek consolation from the bottle in
the hour of affiiction, though revela-
ton, history, observation and in
stinct alike teach them that Of all the
broken reeds upon which weakness
ever leaned. the false excitement
caused by liquor is the most treach-
erous. 1t Is passing stran ge!-one
of those anomalies to which philoso-
ply furnishes no clew, and for which
we can only account by supposing
that a power independent of them
selves, against whose influence mere
reason is no sure protection, betrays
men into ruin.
There are only two genuine salves
for sorrow-prayer and work. Trust
in God and keep doing are the best
recipe for every human care. There
are no wounds of the spirit which it
will not heal. Strength, fortitude,
patience, resignation are as sure to
be vouchsafed to the unfortunates
who earnestly pray for them, and at
the same time are diligent in the per-
Torrance of their temporal tasks, as
the harvest is to follow the planting
of the seed. Duty is balsamic. Peace
is the child of worship.

GUTHRIE, Okla, October 9.-The
