The above are the theatrical attractions for
this week.
We have found in Miss Marie Tempest
Just what we expected-a pleasing little girl
with fair voice, She is fortunate in ap-
pesring in roles that fit her particular quail
ity of talent Both as Kitty Carroll and
Dorothy she gives you the impression that no
one else could make as much of the parts as
che does. I suppose she is right. When
Marie Tempest grows tired of singing the
parts don't know where her successor is to be

wish john Mackay had STAYED in musical
comedy. He is g good comedian, but 1 do not
think he is in his element in opera You re-
member how amusing he was in Pop a few
years ago. with pretty Kate Castletou playing
the opposite part. Perhaps our remembrance
OF that excruciatingly funny performance
caused US to expect more of him last week

Director-General DAVIS, Ruling.

The exhibitors association met yesterday
afternoon for the last time until the gen.
eral meeting in Dallas, December l. MIR.
J. E. Kindred, Amarillo, Tex; Mr. J. I.
Huffmeyer, Mineola, Tex, and Mr.. Sidney
Smith of Dallas were admitted as mem
bers. The association discussed fully and
at length the various plans for the Worlds
fair exhibit, and the united feeling they en-
terrain grows stronger daily that their re-
quest for space in the government building
for collective exhibit is just and right.
The rulings of the board Of reference and
control and the board of directors of the
Worlds Columbian exposition, issued in a
circular letter May l, under signature of
George r. Davis, director-general, prohibit
the display of collective exhibit by coun-
ties and districts of the state in a state
building.
Rule Of the circular reads: Such state
buildings shall be maintained as a state or
territorial headquarters under the control
of the state board, but subject to the rules
and regulations governing the exposition,
for the convenience and entertainment of
residents of the particular state or terri
tory and the reception and entertainment of
their friends and such guests as they may
invite to share the hospitality OF such state
or territory; and shall also, if desired by
the state or territory, be used as depos-
tory for collective exhibit of such line
as shall best illustrate and eyemplify the
NATURAL RESOURCES
of such state, as well as its historical and
archaeological features.
Each such collective state exhibit shall,
however, be installed and maintained only
subject to the following conditions, limita-
tons and restrictions, to-wit:
a. These exhibits shall not be catalogued
nor considered as competitive or at all
entitled to participate in prizes or awards,
nor be within the jurisdiction of the COM
mittees or juries of awards
b. They shall embrace no manufactured
goods or products.
c. No processes shall be included therein,
and no motive power permitted in any such
building.
The association deem the reading of the
above circular as conflicting with the state
ments made them by Col. Hurley and Mr.
Dickinson, which are in substance that col
lective exhibits consisting of agricultural
and horticultural products, manufactured
articles, minerals. numbers, specimens, ETC.,
would be admitted into the state building
by counties or districts. so that the identity
of each county or district could be pre-
served.
Mr. Dickinson stated emphatically to a
committee of our association that such a
collective display of exhibits would be en-
titled to space in the state building to be
erected by the Texas Worlds fair associa-
ton, but rule 6 above mentioned in Director
General Davis circular imposes such condi-
lions that our exhibits would not be COM
plete, in fact would have to consist of
natural resources, which our association
construe to mean, minerals, timber, soils,
native grasses, herbs, etc.

taken to Detroit to serve out his sentence.

A Lively Chase.

An amusing, spirited, but successful
chase for four tramps occurred on Lamar
street about a. m. yesterday. Policemen
Biddeker, Nicely and Mosely and Driver
Martin McGraugh went after them in the
patrol wagon. When they were flushed
stampede occurred, and each vag went in
separate direction. Each officer selected a
man and gave chase, but the fourth man, it
seemed, would make his escape. Driver
McGraugh could not leave his team. so he
let 'em go at full tilt after tramp No. 4, and
soon had his man dead to rights, as did
the other officers, and the quartette were
put away over Sunday.

Sandow has an English double calling
himself Sandowe, who is now exhibiting
in America, and whose real name Is Irving
Montgomery. The latter handles heavy
weights and breaks strong chains and
straps with his hands and by chest expan-
sion with remarkable ease. His exhibit
ton partner, Cyclops, is giant who thinks
nothing of running about with three big
men and a l5Opound dumbbell, or Of
breaking heavy iron ring by the con-
traction of his biceps.
Samson, the chain breaker, and Her
cules, his brother, are both very strong
men. They hail from Ireland and their
real name is Mccain Hercules not long
ago defeated Eugene Sandow in London,
but he could not perform some of the Ger
mans feats. Samson can break silver
dollar between his thumb and forefnger,
a feat, it is said, that but one other man
living, the car Of Russia, can perform.
Samson breaks chains capable Of sustain
ing 5000 pounds, it is alleged, with In
hands, but there is great deal of trickery
about chain breaking.
Paris was recently astounded by the feats
Of Apollon. a twenty -fve-year-old French
man, who weighs $50 pounds, and who can
lift three horses, hold 100 pounds out at
arms length, and play catch with 16O

Virginia Disrupted.

James Branch has returned from sum-
mer's vacation in Virginia and the principal
watering places on the Atlantic coast. He
says Virginia is hard up financially and
disrupted politically, and thinks that it is
possible that Billy Malone will scheme
himself into the United States senate. 1t
seems, he says, that the Democratic party
splits upon the slightest pretext, and bolts
in local conventions with readiness that
can only result from lack of organization.
A great many of those who have lost in
speculation blame Governor Lee for BOOM

for an era of speculation that has caused so

hibitions of strength that are bona fide.
One of the most powerful men the world
has ever seen is Louis Cyr, who was born
near Montreal, of Alsatian parents, twenty
seven years ago. Cyr lacks half an inch Of
being six feet tall. but he weighs over 800
pounds. He has long, curly yellow hair, and
when he performs his marvellous feats ne
must resemble Samson of old before Delilah
treacherously bereft him of his strength
giving name. Cyr's mother was very
strong, and thought nothing Of carrying a
barrel of flour up several flights of stairs.
Cyr never considered himself very strong
until one day when he lifted a wagon load
of brick out Of rut. After that be con
cluded that his forte was defyiug the laws
of gravity.
Cyr has lifted 1900 pounds of pig ttcn
with his hands and back sand without US
ing harness. ShoulderinR 800 poupd bar,

Eugene Sandow. the European cham
pion, is a German athlete, as shapely as
Apollo and as strong as Hercules. He
only weighs ZOE pounds, but his physique
is magnificent. He is credited with hav-
ing put up Sl2 pound dumbbell with one
hand. This performance is probably ex-
aggerated. as Cyr's best similar feat is
