Secretary of War in President Cleve-
lands Cabinet.

Hon. Daniel S, Lamont, of New
York, is the third member of Presi-
dent Cleveland's cabinet as Secretary
of War. Though yet young man,
he is both able and discreet lie has
made his mark in the financial as well
as political world, and is well to do.
Mr.. Lamonts public career started
at Albany, where he was private sec
retary of Governor Cleveland. Even
at this early stage he displayed re-
markable tact and political shrewd-
ness, and it is SAID that many of the
public acts of Grover Cleveland owe
their conception to Dan Lamont.
After year at Albany he accom-
panied Cleveland to Washington, and
during these four years became very
prominent in national affairs. States
men, Senators and Representatives
consulted with him as with cabinet
officers.
When he retired from Office he be-
came associated with ex-Secretary
Whitney in the New York street rail
road enterprises, and is now a mem
Der of the syndicate controlling the
principal surface roads in that city.

beautiful sights, not alone i'll the do
minions of the Sultan of Turkey, but
in the known world as well.
The tabled beauty and novelty of
the scene have tempted thousands of
curious travellers to make the pelgrim-
age. With the natural result of the
spot, known and poetically described
in the english tongue as the "valley
of roses" becoming one of the most
celebrated spots in the Eastern couu-
try. From the pen of a recent tourist
we Gull the following rhapsody, de-
scriptive of the inspiring scene:
Bags full of roses, baskets heavy
with roses, carts laden with roses
Roses, roses, feast of roses, a surfelt
of roses, if that is possible. The
women stick roses in their long braid
ed hair, the men in their belts, The
children pull them and play with
them, and leave them ON the road to
die.
There is rose-leat jam to eat-very
fresh and sweet it is--and there is
rose-leaf syrup to drink Every vase
and vessel is full of roses. They drop
on you from unexpected places. Great
punches of bright pink heads lying on
the ground admonish you as you
walk. You can make bed of them
if you will. Go to the granary-ros-
ary suppose it should be called
and there you will find as soft and
sweet church as was ever laid in the
"Arabian Nights" for Eastern princes
to sleep on.

Jerome Fisher on Trial.

The case of State VS.. Jerome Fisher,
charged with committing an outrage
on the person of Mrs Fannie Dooley,
a white woman, in this city, some
months since, was called for trial be-
fore Judge John l.. Sheppard, in the
District court of Bowie county, at
Boston, Tex, to-day. A large num-
ber of witnesses, attorneys and other
persons connected with the trial,
went down from this place this morn
ing, to be in attendance on the court.
The case, it will be remembered, is
that Of the negro who was accused Of
having assaulted Mrs. Fannie Dooley,
at her home near the Catholic cem-
etery in this city, some months since,
and who only escaped death, at the
hands of a determined mob, through
the viligance and foresight of the Off
GERS who had him in custody. Sub
sequent developments made the case
peculiar one, and aroused some
doubt as to Fishers guilt, resulting in
hung jury, on the first trial of the
case. The case comes on for trial
anew in the District court to-day,
and 1t is thought that the case will be
closely and vigorously contested,
both by the prosecution and the de-
fcuao

DR.. Bill.

Much interest has been awakened
among our local drama loving public
by the announcement of the coming
appearance at Ghio's opera house in
this city, on the evening Of Monday,
the 9th instant, Of this new and
unique comedy, which, under the
euphonious title Of "Dr. Bill" has
aroused the enthusiasm Of the fun low
ing public all over the North and
East. In commenting on ITS produc-
tion in that city, the Cincinnati Com
mercial Gazette has this TO say:
"Much had been heard of the comedy
of "Dr. Bill" and much was expected.
No disappointment was expressed last
night at Pixies by the large audience
assembled to see this New York sue
cess. There was the heartiest kind of
laughter. Everybody seemed to leave
the house thoroughly pleased with the
doctors mode of prescribing his
new cure, laughter lie certainly
gives good, old-fasboned doses Of 1t.
"Dr Bill" is trine broad in spots,
there being one or two lines that
could be cut out without hurting the
comedy. But there is nothing often

Elegant Costumes.

The costumes, thirty in number, to
be worn by those taking part in the
great scriptural cantata, "Joseph," at
Ghio's opera hoase tonight arrived
direct from the costumers hands in
Cincinnati, Ohio, this a. m. Several
of the costumes are exceedingly ele-
giant, while the entire number are ar
tistic in design and complete in finish.
The rendition of this noted musical
composition will be the event par-ex-
cellence of the amusement season, and
those who fail to witness it will miss
a rare musical treat. Let everybody
attend,

siye. 1t certainly deserves the big
success it has met with, for it is as
funny farclal comedy as we have
ever had here. While extremely
funny, there is no horse play methods
introduced in order to create laughter.
The situations and complications are
numerous, and create laughter from
start to finish. There is n big weeks
business in store for this merry COM
edy, which will certainly make anyone
seeing it forget that they ever had the
blues. As presented at Pixies, it left
little to be desired.

Wants the Nicaragua Mission.

An Arkansas Gazette special from
Washington says of prominent Tex
arkanian:
Hon. l.. A. Byrne, of Texarkana, is
an applicant for the Nicaragua mis-
sion, and is backed up by the whole
delegation for that position. 1t is not
yet decided how many foreign appoint
ments the state will be entitled to
(therc is, no doubt, many more appli-
cants than positions), and unless the
state fares better in the future than
in the past, with regard to Pres
idential plums, there will be very few
Arkansans going abroad by the grace
of the government and at its expense"
Judge Byrne we trust will secure
the mission or consulate's place.

Atmospheric Phenomena.

At few minutes before o'clock
this a. m. an alarm was sounded by
the ringing in peculiar manner Of
the fire bell al the State Line Metho-
dist church. Many persons were
awakened by the unusual sound, who
upon examination found that the
alarm instead of being a warning of
fire was apparently sounded as the
herald of an unusual and apparently
threatening atmospheric disturbance,
Upon investigation it was found that
the entire heavens were overcast with
dense clouds, while roaring sound
as of an approaching train could be
heard. The sound, which continued
for twenty or thirty minutes, was evil
IDENTIFY caused by the passage Of Sc
we're wind storm, which, either taking
it's course through the upper currents
of the air passed over our city, or else
missed this locality by passing at some
distance therefrom. The noise was
at times loud and threatening, causing
considerable alarm among those to
whom uninterrupted sumber denied
the blessing of temporary oblivion.
Soon after the phenomena ceased a
heavy rainfall set in accompanied by
vivid lightning and a strong wind.
From all indications we should judge
that destructive wind storm occur
red at no great distance from the city,
and from the extent of the disturbance
at this place, we should judge the
storm to have been of unusual severity
for this country.
