A RECORD BREAKER.
The Mayor Elect Of New York Inter
viewed at San Antonio, Tex.

Hon. Thos. NJ. Gilroy, mayor elect
of New York city, accompanied by
his wife and daughter and Mr.. and
Mrs. John IL. Mccarthy, spent We'd
nesday in San Antonio, Texas, ON
their journey to California. In an in
terview he said: "Cleveland will
carry out the civil service law but
will place Democrats in office where
ever he can. He will certainly not
make the same mistake in that matter
which characterized his other admin
istration. Cleveland is record
breaker. He has been candidate for
the presidency three successive times
and has been elected twice. / would
not be surprised to see him elected
third time. A great deal is expected
of Cleveland, but whether he viii be
able to carry out all the wishes and
demands of his party is another ques-
ton,
"What speculation is there in regard
to his cabinetr was asked Mr.. Gilroy.
"There is absolutely nothing known
definitely. ] don't suppose Cleveland
himself has yet made up his mind as
to who will fill the different positions
in the cabinet. Hill will not be
member. He is better satisfied with
his position as United States Senator,
Tammany will ask very little from
Cleveland"
"What about the New York Sena-
torship~

States Senator if he wants to. He
did not desire the honor at the time

ton result IN New York is concerned

finest that has yet been furnished this
season, being made by the orchestra
connected with the band, under the
leadership Of Prof. Brewer, and cer-
tainly was credit to his leadership,
as well as to the talent and skill Of
each member.
During the evening several concert
selections were rendered by the full
band, and that Of Crooked in the
Cradle Of the Deep Eup honium solo,
by Prof. Brewer, under the direction
of Mr.. L. L. Rowe, was heartily cheer
ed by the delighted listeners. It is
hoped the band boys will conclude to
give another dance in the near future,
and also that the next one will be

Evening, Nov. 23rd.

Few social events in the history Of
our city have created the universal in-
terest which now exists among the
social circles of Texarkana concerning
the much talked of entertainment
which is announced to take place at
the Benefited Hotel ON Wednesday
evening, the Esd inst, under the
auspices of the Knights of Pythias of
the several local lodges in this city.
The invitations, which, by the way,
are both artistic and elegant will be
issued immediately and everything is
fully under way to make the affair u
finished social success. The enter
tainment has been given in charge to
joint committee consisting of p A.

tary, E. F. Kane Treasurer and Mes
srs. r. w. Rodgers, Claude Skeen,
Buff Kizer, III. w. Huntington, Morton
P. Levy, w. j. Spear and c. E. Beard.
These gentlemen have spared no
pains to make the occasion one con-
tinuous round of pleasure to the vast
throng who will assemble on this even
ing as the guests of their order. The
reception and banquet viii be under
the management of able and exper-
fenced hands, insuring comfort and
enjoyment to all, while the ball will be
made feature of especial delight to
all who participate in terp-
sichorean pleasures. Over four
hundred invitations will be
issued, and the flower of social
life in this and our sister cities will be

much cannot be said in praise of the
members of this order for their zeal
and energy in thus placing their order
prominently before the public in such
an appropriate and excellent manner,
affording recreation and pleasure both
to themselves and families, and their
friends as well. We trust and believe
that the entertainment win prove all
they can hope or expect from it, and
that it will rebound to their credit and
honor, as well as to the lasting benefit
of their order here and elsewhere.
