BRILLIANT AND GRAND,
Texas Will ReYel in PAINS Gigantic
Exhibition.
Elaborate and Costly Preparations Making for
the Last Days OF rompeii-An Army
In the Field Already.

The Last Days OF Pompeli will be q
daisy.
1t will be the best drawing attraction
ever produced in Texas, and the elabor-
ate preparations being made by the
managers, based upon past experience,
is a safe index to the number of people
that may be expected to crowd Fort
Worth during the time the exhibition
will be held.
An army of men is at work on the old
Spring Palace grounds getting ready the
vast array of seats and laying out the
grounds where the display will be made.
The grounds are Immediately to the
west of the location of the great Spring
Palace building. They cover five
acres, one-third of which is
covered by seats. These benches
in themselves make an immense
display. They are arranged strong, and
with great attention TO convenience for
inGress and egress. They rise in tiers
from the edge of the great artificial lake
aud though they have the capacity to
seat 10, 900 people, they are so LAID out
that they can be emptied in a few mo-
ments.
The lake will be beautiful spectacle.
It is designed to represent the Bay of
Naples, world famed for its placid
beauty. 1t is 500 feet long aud stretches
back from the amphitheater, where the
spectators are placed, to the immense
stage where the dramatic features of the
exhibitions are given, and ut the rear of
which will be the doomed city of Pom
peii, with its paved streets, both houses,
temples, arches and residences of ornate
and beautiful architecture. the homes of
the wealthy patrIcIans of Rome who used

same az the Londoners use Hastings, or
the New Workers use Long Branch.
Behind the city rises the great Vesu-
vius. awe inspiring and grand. This
whole scene is represented by q painting
made by leading artists of the world
from views taken on the spot, and COW
ers 10 200 square yards of canvas, wood
and iron. The painting is so nat
urGl as viewed by the spectator
across the artificial bridge, that when
the awful Vesuvius breaks forth IN erup-
ton, the spectator feels that he looks
upon an actual occurrence. sees the de-
struction of the rich Pompeii, hears the
rush of lava GnG the dropping OF stones
and metal, hears the plaintive cries for
succor, as the terrified popuaoe rush
hither and thither to escape their awful
doom.
The exhibition opens on October IS.
The management are making every
method known to experienced hands TO
make the great attraction known
throughout the state. The indications
are that the streets of Fort Worth will be
crowded during the time the Last Days

possibly OF transient exports of gold. In
deed, private cable explanations of the
non-advance in the Bank of England
rate to 6 per cent. on Thursday are to
the effect that the rise in exchange at
New York suggests the possibility of re-
lief coming through New York ship
ments of gold, if the pressure at London
should continue.
The current railroad situation is not
one favorable to the value of stocks, the
earnings of the Granger roads especially
being unsatisfactory, aud the prospect
being that, with shortage in the princi-
pal grain crops, there may be no i'm
Drovement in traffic during the next few
months.
Under the circumstances above referred
to, am still of the opinion that while
owing to extreme ease in money, there
may be periods OF moderate advance in
prices, yet the prospect calls for conserv-
atism and does not warrant large buying
for long operations but rather quick in
and out transactions.

DISGUSTED STOCKMEN.
Frontier at Eagle Pass-The Cattle
Trade Most Seriously Affected.
Special to the Gazette.

Special TO the Gazette.
EAGLE PASS, Ten, Oct. S.-The effect
of the Mckinley bill Is already severely
felt in this section of the frontier.
Owing TO the clause placing tax of
$40 per head on imported horses
many OF the local buyers have left here
saying that there is no use 10 attempt
doing anything so long as the tax is in
force. Thus Il business which was rap
idly developing and promised TO make
Eagle Pass one of the largest horse mar
kets on the continent, if not in the world :,
has been uipped in the bud.
The cattle trade of this section is even
more disastrously affected. It has been the
habit OF the ranchers to run their herds
on the Mexican side of the river, where
range is better and cheaper. The Mo
kinley tariff Is the enormous sum of $50
per head. When the bill passed the
Texas ranchmen began gathering their
Mexican herds in the hope of crossing
them TO the American side before the
bill became active. They were unsuc-
cessful. The case of Ranchman Blocker
will serve as q sample. His men worked
like beavers, and the day before the law
went into effect had crossed several
thousand of the heard on the Mexican
bank near the town ford. The en-
tire time was spent in the endeavor
10 force the cattle across. Despite
the experienced cowboys aud trained
ponies they "milled'' and stampedei
again and again. When night come
the herd had separated, and some few of
them had crossed TO this side, the
others had stampeded back
TO the brush. These latter are
now practically Mexican cattle, as they
must be sold in that country. It was a
beautiful exhibition or Workmanship, as
viewed 10y crowds on this bank, but it
did no good. Blocker is the most dis
gusteG man in Texas.

Old Lace.

Many of our girls do not know why
old lace is SO much more valuable and
generally so much more beautiful than
new lace. The fact Is, that the old
lace is all woven in lost patterns. 1t
Is frequently as fine as a spiders film
and cannot be reproduced The loss of
patterns was Il severe check to lace
making In France and Belgium. and
was oceasioned by the French Revolu-
ton. Before that time whole villages
supported themselves by lace making,
and patterns We're handed down from
one generation to another. They were
valuable heirlooms, for the most cele-
DRAFTED weavers always had as many
orders as they could execute in life
time, and they were bound bv an oath
taken ON the four Gospels to work only
for certain dealers. When the Reiru
of Terror began. all work of this kind
WIS interrupted FOR II time After the
storm had subsidized the dealers and
workers were far apart some dead,
some lost, and some escaped to foreign
lands. and such of the women a re-
maided were bound hy their oath to
work for but one; and this oath. in
spite OF RobeSpierre'S doctrine. was
held by the poorest of them to be bind
ing, and there We're instances where
they suffered actual want rather than
break their word. Some. however.
taught their children and their grand
children, and many patterns wee IN
this way preserved. Some of the
daintiest and finest patterns were
never recovered. and 10 day slecimcf.s
of these laces are known 10 lee worth

A Dead Elephant.


The recent Indian papers describe the
difficulty attending the disposal Of the
body of an elephant at Now
.ree, in Baroda, which illustrates
the Indian saying that an elephant
must be buried where it dies. 1t APP
pears that a tame elephant, which had
been kept at Nowsaree for many years
past, died. The news was at once tele
graphed to Baroda, and sanction for ex-
penses incidental to the burial of the
animal was obtained The local authori-
ties then held council 40 to how the
remains should be removed to distant
part of the town, where they could be
inferred without endangering the health
OF the inhabitants. 1t was suggested
that the dead body should be cut up
into pieces. which might then be re-
moved and disposed of, but this idea
was rejected. 1t was then resolved to
drag the remains out of the town, and
with that object to pull down one
of the walls within which the
animal had been confined. Hundreds
of coolies ware pressed into the service,
and a number of carpenters, lronsmIths
and other artisans We're engaged to con-
struCt huge car on wheels 10 convey
the dead animal. But the body, which
weighed several tons, could not be lifted,
much less removed, from the place
where il was. Various attempts were
made for three DAYS, but they failed one
after the other. When the authorities
saw that they were batlled in all their
endcavors to move the body, they re-
solved 10 adopt the suggestion made at
the outset, and eventually caused it to
be cut into pieces, which were then
buried at short distance from the
place. When the body was submitted
to the operation it emitted such repul-
sive odors that Rance Jumnahai, the
adaptive mother of the Gaekwar, who
lived in the neighborhood, had to move
into another bungalow.

Referring to the laws of the supreme

concisely presented as follows:
In the first place. if the members Ct

ance is called upon, and. in connection
with the committee seeks to amIcably adj
just the difficulty. If failure still at
tends the efforts to adjust the trouble.
then the supreme council is convened at
the headquarters of the railroad officials,
with whom conference Is requested. and
lis influence is eXerted to obtain settle
ment, alike Just to all parties. 1T failure
still follows efforts TO remove the cause OF
complaint and the council. by upall-
imous vote. decides the grievance to be OF

HOLZHAY TIRED OF LIFE.
The Highwayman Makes Another At
tempt at Suicide.

MARQUETTE, Mich, Aug. 25.-Holzhay,
the Gogebic highwayman and murderer,
made another attempt this morning at
self destruction, which was almost sue
cessful.
Having lost the use of his right hand
in an effort to escape by overpowering
the guards, an attempt at starvation hay
ing been thwarted by the injection of
food, the unruly convict this morning
made more ettiacious attempt to end
his life. When the guard
-ook his breakfast to the
;ell he found the prisoner in a semi.
conscious condition on the floor. bleeding
freely from the right wrist. and his hair
matted with blood. \ hasty examination
showed that the wrist bad been cut
open above the radial artery, and the
scalp on the crown of the head crushed
to pulp.
The wounds were promptly dressed,
and Holzhay recovered his senses during
the process. In one pocket was found
blood-stained silver of tin which had
been broken, from Il galvanized iron
bucket used in taking water to his cell.
With this the attempt to sever
tue artery had been made.
HoIzhay had then tried to
smash his brains out by hutting his head
against the brick wall of his cell, but the
length of room was insufficient To per-
nit proper degree of momentum.
Holzhay's desperate attempts TO take
his own life are generally unde rstood 10
be due to the actions of his faithless
sweetheart, Florence Huntley, the
Shawano girl with whom the daring
highWayman was infatuated. The
Huntley girl was married about four
weeks ago TO a ncw-found lover, and
Holzhay is supposed to have received
the information of the event.
Holzhay is now in a straight jacket,
and for the present is incapable of in
tlicting further injuries upon himself.
