Prince NapoIeon's POmpeian tNiansion.
w hen the part Prince Napolf on might
have taken in French politics. ceases to
be contrasted with the part te actually
did take he will be rememDeref Tor quite
a different achievement. In r strange
part Of Paris he built VERY curious
mansion, and collected 0riiNant circle
If friends to witness singular enter
ainment The circumstance. once no.
torions, is now almost forgotten, lmrty-
five years ago the prince went Pompell
mad. 1t was the fashiohable craze OF
the day.
Artists. authors, dilett&nti-they all
took it; but the prince alone had funds
and purposed to realize his}wild project
If he could build house Just like one
of those old Pompeian mansions, if he
could furnish it classically, put in the
right bronzes and statuettes, ahimself
dress like an old Roman and get his
friends to do the same-well, he actually
reduced the dream to fact.
In the avenue Montaigne, at that time
perilously near the Bal Mabille, the pal
ace was reared on the true Pompeian
lines. Gerome painted the decorations
Homer chanting his ballads, and
nymphs that represented the Odyssey
and Iliad. Everything was classic and
was Greek, but the Bonaparte blood
flowed in the veins of the owner.
Prince Napoleon set up busts and stat
ues of his family all round the atrium-
Napoleon and Josephine and Marie
Louise, Lucien, Charles, Louis and Je-
rome; they all had their place in this
classic apartment. And here, before the
emperor and empress, a French play was
acted in classic costume-Favart, Bro
han and Theophile Gautier being the
company. and Got and Emile Angler
among the audience. Herald.

physicians in this country for the
past decade have enjoyed such large
practice and national reputation as the
Drs. Flower. These two brothers have an
iHtuitive gift for reading disease combined
with scientific knowledge of medicine,
enabling them to cure where others fail.
While their practice is largely in the east
you viii find at their home office the off
casts from hospitals and hopeless cases
from every state in the union. A few years
ago we published several columns Of testi-
monials. Many were from the most dis
tinguished men and women In Texas
Everyone tells of the wonderful examina-
ton and marvellous cures. Tho'e wishing
medical aid will be glad to know of this

The palmiest day of the tableau enter
tainment has rather gone by. Sacred
and profane history, ancient and modem
customs have been faithfully worked for
varieties in tableau representation and
their freshness has pretty well departed.
An entertainment of pretty and pictu.
rescue scenes, UNMARRIED by action or
movement is somewhat mild form of
amusement. For obvious reasons this
kind of entertainment has had long
run Of favor. Tableaux. represented by
good folks that they all know, are Some.
thing that the strictest church peopls
can lco& upon without feeling of SIN.
and a great deal of money for good
causes has been realized in this way.
They flourish best in home soil and Ire.
scented by home talent and beauty. and
not a little have they owed to the good

family pride which loves to see Sis on

flannel, which gives sort of quilted APP
pearance to the stitching. In our illus
tration of this week is very stylish
tweed suit in light brown, with top
coat of the same, trimmed with neat
stitching and dark brown velvet buttons.
With it is worn white collar and
chemisette. A brown velvet hat adds
elegance to the whole.
Cheviot, shepherds plaid, cloth and.
silk warp Henrietta are all suitable ma
terials for this costume, and it needs
seven yards of the usual width of such
goods to make it.
Another stylish and handsome spring
costume is of almond shell brown ladies'
cloth, embroidered across and up the
sides of the front breadth in several
shades of brown, and the basque is spar
ingly trimmed in the same manner.
Over this is worn capeline of lobelia.

In the illustration given are two very
pretty spring home, afternoon or even
ing dresses. and no doubt the fair read
ers will expect that the material in the
trained dress costs hundred dollars or
more, but what will they say when they
know that the entire gown can be made
to cost less than five dollars
The body and train are of myrtle green
sateen at thlrty-five cents yard and
only six yards are needed of that and
three Of the figured pattern, which is in
cream, moss green and wood brown, at
the same price. The lace is one yard of
oriental founcing at seventy-five cents,
and two yards of narrow for the stand
ing frill at the neck at twelve cents
leaving one dollar for Innings and buckle.
And isn't it pretty dress?
The other is of gendarme blue cham
brey at twenty cents yard eight yards;
of it, and three yards of white nainsook
cambria laid in accordion plaits under
some bands of blue chambray embroid-
cry. This dress would be even less.
costly than the other. Both are cut ell
princesse in the back, and both are quite
nice enough and dressy enough for
almost any occasion in summer.

ATTENTION is called to the commun-
ication this morning on Austin's lack
of good fire alarm system. There is
exceeding good sense in the article. 1t
ought not to be matter of chance
whether the brave fire boys will
quickly locate a fire or not. Some
years ago an attempt to get an cleo
trio fire alarm system was made, but
fell through. But this should be an
encouragement to the new effort in
that line, and not Encouragement.
The necessity for it is growing one,
and the atten zion of the city council
is earnestly called to the matter.
Give Austin better fire protection.

was attended to? Questions OF grave
moment to Texas are there to DE dis

should bear her share of the RESPONSE

of the benefits of whatever the state
does. Austin's best and truest friends
should be found in Fort Worth on

and reports that Mr.. Osborne is doing
very well, although he is still suffer

Mr.. Abe Williams, whose injuries
consisted in nothing more serious
than few bruises, is doing well.
DR.. Davis, who is attending Willie
Coancil, the colored boy injured by

Mr.. Archie Corwin was reported
last night to be resting easily, although
his condition is stin quite serious.

achievement calculated to make the

having obtained judgment for $45 against
an Italian military and benevolent associa-

THEY ARE GONE.

To the drummers Austin has said
adieu, and it ia simply an adieu, not a
farewell. This is undoubtedly the case
40 far as Austin is concerned and
heartily is it to be wished it is the YER
dict OF the T. P. AS. For the last two
DAYS have been season Of scraping
warm acquaintanceships and forming
ties that must not be broken. In the
T. P, AS Austin has found noble set
of men whose good will and continued
friendship she wishes ever to retain.
They in their occasional visits here
either singly or in groups will find al
ways the same free and easy greeting
that has met them this time. Aus
tin is nothing ii not hospitable and
when under the occasion OF general
hospitality she strikes the hands OF
true men, she wants to hold those
hands until responsive grip shall be
returned. And now that Austin has
met these knights of the road and
knows them as never before, the hope
is voiced that the good impression
made has been mutual and will be
abiding. To the T. P. AS of Texas,
remember that Austin's latch string
is always on the outside and that you
are especially and peculiarly welcome!

anything else in hot weather, when it is
such delight to put on freshly laun-

prints and ginghams, etc., the maker
should bear in mind the contingency of
