DALLAS LETTER.
DALLAS, Nov. l, 1892.

| Special correspondence
| The latter part of last week the sun
shone out and everybody was glad.
The fair, which had been fairly well
attended Notwithstanding the heavy
rains and deep mud, was extended to
Novem Der 4th inclusive Yesterday
and today the flood gates are open
wide. The first week of the fair there
was no racing. Since the rains of
yesterday and today, it is quite evil
dent that the track will be in no con-
dttion this week.
Madam Decca sang her farewell
song Saturday night. Bibeiati and
his famous band played their last
tune Sunday night. Each have taken
their departure. While here Decca
and Liberali "fell out" All musi-
clans and choristers do, and HAD they
not they would have been unlike all
others. What caused the rupture is
not exactly known. 1t is said Decca
found fault with Liherati's time Lib
craft on the other hand, claimed
| his time was good and that it
was the prima donna who was at
fault. AT any rate they had disa-
greement and each time as Decca
would make her appearance upon the
stage every member of the band
would rise and leave at once. When
| Libereti was here on previous Occa-
sion it was quite perceptible that the
| deafening applause was gratifying to
him. We wondered at the change
| that had come over him and spoke of
1 hn Of avnrnnpipn
noticeable. We were informed that
his little boy of eight years had just
| died in New York, of diptheris. This
little fellow had accompanied his
father here on his previous trips and
| was quite prepossessing boy.
Miss Eloise Polk, of San Antonio,
has quite sn extensive collection of
Oil paintings on exhibition. An art
| critic OF this city pronOunces the
chamber scene among her best. A
| copy of the AngeIus by same artist In
al unique frame carved by herself.
Iu an open belfry, ss it were, is bell
which is suspended and ready to peal
forth the hour of prayer. There are
other cssed frames but this We
thought so suggestive and appropri-
| ate.
DR.. Jones who shot and instantly
killed Capt. w. 6. Veal, is still in
Jail having asked for no preliminary
| hearing. 1t is said he will have q
habeas corpus trial during this week.
| Some of the state papers are hard on
| Mrs. Jones for having kept the secret
so long and telling It at this late date.
| 1t is possible Mrs. Jones was as far
| from having harm come of it as the
next one. She doubtless told it in
conversation with her husband, and
never once thought he would at this
late day resent the insult.

The LIGHTS Dallas correspondent
thinks the man who never does any
thing for his party is more likely to
come IN for good slice in securing a
office than he who de-
votes his time and money to the
cause. The man who does nothing
but says II am a republican" and
applies for an office, is a far more
eligible candidate than the man who
has on all occasions espoused his par
ty's cause. The man who sis re-
