EXCHANGE REVIEW.

NEW YORK. June 19.-In the stock market to
day the street was treated to a surprise by the
taking of over $4,000 gold for export to-
morrow. This started a selling movement, but
outside OF half a dozen lstocks that monopolize
attention, movements during the day were en-
tirely insignificant. The strength in silver was
today an influential factor in sustaining prices,
the revival OF the speculative interest in that
metal taking some OF the edge Off OF the loss of
the gold. In final dealings fractional rally
took place, and final changes are only for small
losses. Silver advanced "a per cent.

AM Attractire Snow window.

In the show window of Mr.. A. 7.
Threadgill's palace of beauty" he
has bad put in a patent display at,
tachment, which for novelty and at
tractiveness would be hard to excel.
1t enjoys the distinction of being
the fifth one of the kind in the
United States. It shows off the
jewelrY to splendid advantage and
is such an attraction within itself as
to be worth visit to see it running.
The attachment consists of large
circular pan, 26 inches in diameter,
filed with water, and floating upon
this water, turning with mechanical
precision, is five plush covered pans
about the size of tambourines on
which the jewelry is displayed.
Four of them revolve around the
fifth in the center, while all are
revolving in the water, while the
water apparently floats them around,
thoughthe motive power is furnished
with mashinery beneath the window.
A pyramid of plush covered pans
can be substituted for the five to
change the effect or a larger number
of small ones instead of the five.
1t is something new and novel
and the fact that Mr.. Threadgill
was the fifth man to secure the
right to use it from the patentee is
characteristic of his enterprise.

The memory of the bloody feud
of the jaybird and woodpecker fac
tons in Fort Bend county, says a
Galveston News correspondent, is
recalled by the death Of Volney
Gibson, one of the leading actors in
the tragic scenes which have marked
its history. He died of consump-
ton at Richmond Thursday. The
death of Gibson recalls the terrible
tragedy enacted in the courthouse
at Galveston on the 21st of January
of last year, when Kyle Terry, the
leading spirit of the woodpecker
faction, was shot to death as he-was
going up the stairs to the courtroom
to stand his trial on charge of kill
ing Vol Gibson's brother, Ned Glib
son, in Wharton, in June, 1889.
The beginning of the feud that led
to these killings grew out of the re-
suit of an election preceding the
death of Ned Gibson, where the
Woodpeckers were successful. They
celebrated their success with ball
and invitations we're sent out, and it
was charged that some of these invi-
tations were remailed to negroes
and Terry charged Vol Gibson with
doing it, This led to the killing of
Ned Gibson and later to the killing
of Terry After the killing of Terry
in Galveston Yolney Gibson was in
dicted for murder, and James Mitch
ell, Dan Ragsdale, Calvin Blakely,
j. W. Parker, William Andrews and
William Little for lesser offenses
growing out of the courthouse trag-
edy. These cases were afterward
transferred to the district court of
Bexar county for trial, and are still
pending on the docket there, having
been continued from term to term.

Just think of it, a 1920 portrait
for one dollar. We mean just what
we say, and if there is anything in
this line cheaper than this we have
not heard of it. Don't forget that
with every dozen Photographs you
get the large picture, and all it costs
is zone dollar "
