TEXAS PERFORMANCE.

Excitement Saturday.

Two Bronchos Furnished Amusement and
Excitement Saturday.
A Texas pony created great excite
ment in the city Saturday afteInoon, thin
ming out the crowded streets in re-
markably short time The pony broke
loose from the rack near the alliance
warehouse and ran out into Main street
at gait that would haue done credit to
Nancy Hanks. And the pony wasn't
particular as to where he went lie
bounded on to the pavement on the east
side of Main street and would have done
considerable damage had he not lost his
foothold and fell on the slick stone. AS
he fell he barely missed the large glass
front in Riordan's store. In an instant
he was up. crossed TO the opposite side OF
the street, got upon the sidewalk in
front of Crouch store, and went dash
ing up the pavement. lie crossed again
and started in LJwrey'S store among tine
chairs. hat racks and mirrors, but was
stopped as he got his head in the door.
The horse then started up Main street on
the sidewalk, the people giving him
plenty of room, and the last seen OF him
he was rapiply disappearing in the dis
lance towards the Central depot
Before the excitement subsidized the
Texas pony that pulls the United States
mail and the Southern Express wagon
gave performance on Main street,
refusing to pull his load further. He
kicked higher and oftener than any other
horse was ever known to kick in the
same space of time. He kicked alliance
literature that had been expressed to the
county secretary all over the street.
His Leels were finally held down long
enough for him to be unhitched from the
wagon. The wagon load of mail and ex-
press was then pulled to it's destination
by crowd of men.
Saturday was day of much excite
ment and amusement furnished Oy Texas
ponies.

LUXURY OF MOURNING.
A New York Lady Gives Going Out-oE-
 Mourning Dinner.

New York Lady Gives Going Out-oT.
 Mourning Dinner.
 English newspaper and magazine paragraphers who delight to select and repeat for innocent auditors of all the curious fads and caprices of fashiona- ble American women, will doubtless re- mark with grave wonder on one of the last and most absurd arrangements in dinners lately given by New York woman who is lover in harmonies. Two years ago she suffered the loss of her husband.
 After many 'months of travel abroad she returned home with boxes of ex- quisite creations in silvery grays, vio- let, lavender and heliotrope. fresh from the hands of French modistes. After receiving many attentions from home friends, she decided to give what she chose to call Ia going-out-of-mourni dinner" Her idea was carried out to the last detail. and the whole filled her guests with amusement and sur prise. Her gown was a superb combi- nation of silk, velvet and chiffon run ming through every tint of violet, law | ender and heliotrope, and lavishly or namented with jet and black lace. Her ornaments were black pears and en- l ame1ed violets The dining table was laid with white cloth overspread with 8 scarf and central square of white | silk, and linen embroidered heavily in the delicate gray stems and lavender | flowers of wisteria. Violets, helio- trope, and ilics-of-the-valley were the flowers used in decorating the table | and for the mems boutonnieres. The candles, in silver candelabra, were of violct-tintcd wax, with violet silk shades. The opalescent glass glowed | with tints of violet and lavender; su- | garcd violets were the only bonbons on the table, and great punches of violets tied with violet satin streamers were attached to the right-hand side of the back of every woman's chair.-Illus- | tratcd American.

The Case of Fireman Shields.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The testimony taken by District-Attorney Carter in San Francisco in the case of Fireman Shields, of the American merchant steamer Keweenaw, is causing revival of the war feeling against Chilli. Some people do not accept the case as a worthy one, yet most men in official life are in clined to accept it as indicative of the feeling in Chilli against Americans. It is not probable that the Administration will make an issue of the Shields case,
 for there is a grave doubt as to his citi~ zenship, and some authorities are in clined to question the merits of the case.

Is Competition the Life of Trade ?


 "Competition is the life of trade;" "Competition is the death of trade;" one phrase is as true as the other. For all that appears, it was a toss-up which of the two should become current as the expression of a general thought. The public may often say that ''competition is the life of trade" while at the same moment the competing traders or man. ufacturers themselves, behind their doors, are grooming that competition is sure to be their death." Competition is war It may be war to the knife, fierce and deadly; it may be gentle manly contest with foils and masks, or padded gloves. At times it is waged at every point, relentlessly; again it is confined to a single phase of contact; but, however conducted, in its essence it is war; and, when carried to its ex- treme conclusion, it means financial ruin to one or the other of the contest ants.-Aldace r.
