Tho EXCURSION to the Mountains.

Yesterday morning H. G. Thompson, the
urbane and popular general passenger and
ticket agent of the Gulf, Colorado and
Santa Fe, was in the city. ard the question
of an excursion of the Railway Employees
club to the Arbuckle mountains was taken
up with him. He stated the Santa F'e
would furnish the train with pleasure, the
the only possible difficulty being the secur-
ing of sufficient number of coaches, and
that every effort would be made by the
company to make it success in every
respect.
Mr.. Thompson reads of the success of the
club with a great deal of interest and is
anxious to assist in promoting its prosper
ity, in every way possible. He is one of
those active. wideawake fellows, quick to
see and appreciate the benefit such an or
ganization will have upon railroad men,
and is in hearty accord with the movement.
The Santa F'e is at present distributing a
vast amount of matter, advertising Texas,
all through the East, and the one-fare tour
ist rate now ON will have the effect of bring
ing many people to points on the Santa F'e
lines in Texas Mr.. Thompson is keenly
alive to all possible immigration movements
toward Texas. and will, on behalf Of his
line, meet people half way.

Great Excitement Caused by the Wreck OF

Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
New YORK, Oct IA London dispatch
states that the steamship Devoushire, from
Barrowton for New York, has been passed
at sea abandoned. Nothing has been heard
from her captain or crew. The Devon
shire was a British steamship of over 2000
tons. She carries crew of thlrty-seven
men, including her captain and officers.
Never has the loss of Il steamship at sea
caused so much excitement since the time
of the great Denmark disappearance. No
particulars of the disaster We're received in
this city. No one knows what has become
of the captain and crew. They may now
be safely on board some other vessel, but
maritime men think that is hardly proba-
BILE. Chances are that the captain and
thirty-siX men are lost. They undoubtedly
took to the boats when it was seen that the
vessel had no chance. In the sea and storm
that have been raging for the last week the
boats could have hardly lived. The Devon
shire sailed from Barrowton con the 4th.
She was off. if all reports are true, in bal
last. The Devonshire generally made the
passage to this city in about fifteen days, so
that no uneasiness has been felt about her
non-appearaace.
THEY ARE SAFE.

American Shear. the Best.

English scissors are still called for by
ladies, bat tailors and others using scis-
sors in their daily work have long since
ceased to look for the Sheffield mark
This is very significant, and the fact
that a tailor insists on American made
shears is q great compliment, as the very
best article is needed in cutting out gar
ments. Ten years ago English scissors
brought double an apparently similar
article Of American make. Now the
most costly shears in these days are OF
home manufacture, and every year a
greater quantity of them is being ex-
ported. It is the boast of an eastern
house that they ship shears regularly to
Sheffield, and by so doing discount the
oft repeated story and fable about ship
ping Goals to Newcastle. Interview in

A novel suggestion on the subject Of
taxation comes indirectly through the
state department from Venezuela Now
that political economy is so largely oc-
cupying the public mind, the suggestion
may be very interesting and valuable to
revenue experts. The municipal coun-
ell Of Caracas has promulgated law
which provides for an impost on all bach
elors residing within the jurisdiction.
Every unmarried man over 3J Is required
to pay an income tax Of / per cent on
an income of not more than 5000, or
per cent if his income exceeds that
amount The poetic justice Of this
thing is in making these men who Will

also To discourage the indulgence Of sin

English Art in Nineteenth Century.

English Art In Nineteenth Century.
In future years, when we walk through
the rooms devoted to the English paint
ers in the National Gallery, we shall sum
up the history Of the art Of the century
in a few broad sentences. We shall find
that the mass of the English painters
have relied simply upon nature, and per-
sistentiy cCntented themselves with por-
traiture, tha sentimental drama Of daily
life and the patient Transcription Of the
phenomena Of sea, sky and landscape.
At the beginning of the century we shall
notice that some painters named Barry,
Fuseh, West and Hayden were haunted
by poetic ambition, and imagined that
it was possible to begin where Raphael
and Michael Angelo had left off. and so
continue to interest mankind by the re-
arrangement Of hfeless formula and
worn ont conventions.
The productions Of these men remain,
however. mere historical curiosities
Then we shall observe a change in the
current ideals of art and the appro-
priatiou Of new stores Of poetry and
romance. of national legend and univer-
sal myth. But amidst the leading expo
nents Of the new ideals we shall not dis
tinguish common qualities other than
evidences Of wide literary culture, a ten
dency to dreaminess, symbolism and
defniteness Of sensible imagery, and a
parti pris Of initiative admiration of the
works of the intense and complicated
artists Of the Fifteenth century, like
BotticelH, Mantegna and Memling.-
