to advertise Texas, certainly to ad-

deep distrust of his administra-

What the Republicans in Texas
will finally determine on as a solu-
ton of the difficulties is not yet
apparent, but the ferment of radi-
cal change is working and what
ever it may work out it cannot but
be an improvement on the party
conditions existing for the past
twenty years. Under existing con-
ditions Texas Republicanism is a
delusion and a snare and it is a
consolation to know that any
change occurring must be for the
better.
Old Bexar county has hopes, not
a certainty but hopes of seeing a
Republican returned from the old
Twelfth district. 1t goes without
saying that such a man will be q

spring OF "a will be socially remembered
as one in which many new forms OF en-
tertaining sprung up. They have not been
silly kinds OF entertainments, Dor over
extravasant ones, but thoroughly pleasant,
and quite a change from the old and set
ones that have been tiring society peo-
pie. As a society woman said: fancy

alike, and meeting the same people every
night during the whole season. Isn't It
Just maddening?"
Mrs. CLeveland's ladies' reception for her
young cousin, Miss Huidleston. was one
of the first of the novel things OF the
season, and one OF the prettiest enter
tainments that Washington has ever en-
joyed. The telegraph and the itemwriters
sent news OF It all over the country but

cents. 1t Is in solid coloring. without
flowers or figures.
The tints are as delicate as though the
fabric was costly. Pale straw. green
blue and all the indescribable shades
OF this season are even moro inde-
scribabis than usual. many Of them being
as elusive al the changing hues OF the
western sky in the spring evenings. Some
OF the new tlnts are almost svanescent;
they seem 20 vanish with every move
ment OF the fabric. reappearing with in
definable changes that give 20 the goods
an altogether different aspect. The ar
lists brush could not do them Justice. 10
bewildcringly are they blended and in
terblended.
Among the delightful goods now being
made ND are the dimities, of which an
unusual assortmrt is presented. The
dimlty OF this season, however, is more
accurately dlmity-Iawn, being far finer
and sheerer than the old-style dirnjty,
though retaining the distinguishing cord.
The cords. which often are 80 fine as to
be nearly Invisible. are arranged in wide
and narrow groups. and sinRly. a very
striking pattern has r. white ground
with a stripe third OF an inch wide OF
brilliant blue, on which runs a vine OF
small leaves and flowers in shaded-blue
porcelain tints.
ODD DESIGNS IN BLACK AND

Coral Is the motif for several lovely
designs in black on white. and in pink

Black and white of the autumn and
winter has left fits influence in many
exquisite black and white touches In

ChIckenA uafched In Snow

\ Washington fGa) special to the Con.
stitution says: Mr.. =. J. Holiday has a
pet hen that was enterprising enough to
start OF a few weeks ago toward raising
a family OF chickens for the early spring.
she was sitting an exposed place and dur
ing the snow-storm Mr.. Holiday had about
concluded to stop counting his chickens
before they were Matched. However. after
the snowstorm Mr.. Holiday decided he
would go out and give his faithful but
frozen hen decent burial. He sauntered
around and at last located the hen by two
tail feathers that were sticking Up above
the snow. Scratching down he thought he
saw some signs OF life. when suddenly
the hen flew up In his face and made him
hustle away from there and let her little
chicks alone. They had hatched IN the
snow.

Holly Horn Once More.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
The hollow horn discussion is becoming
interesting.
Cattle possessing horns are classified as
"cavicornla"--i. e., hollow-horns-conse-
quently hol,owhorn is normal condition,
but when used as n term TO represent n
distinct disease of cattle IL is certainly a
myth and a msnomer.
The marvellous and evidently original
pathological theory and anatomical de-
scriptfon offered by the correspondent OF
forty or fifty years practical experience
is not borne out by bovine anatomy nor

pearances.

LOUISIANA TIGERS"
The Leader of the Famous Fighters and
His Death,

Representative Oates. of Alabama, who
lost an arm as Confederate officer, was
recalling his knowledge OF Colonel Bob
Wheat, OF the famous Louisiana Tigers"
says the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
''They were we'll named" remarked Col
onel Oates. Wheat was educated for the
Episcopal ministry, but he was born
soldier. He was In the Crimean war, was
with Lopez; was with Walker in Nicara-
qua. and came home just az our war
broke out. He landed at, New Orleans
and raised his Tigers along the wharyes,
and wherever he could get desperate
men.
Some of them he obtained In prison,
getting their pardon on condition they
would join him. on their way TO Virginia,
the seat of war, the Tigers passed through
Opelika, Ala.
'The train stopped there and In few
minutes Wheats men had entire possess
sion OF an adjacent hotel and bar-room.
The local authorities were powerless.
Wheat, who was asleep in a car of the
train, was aroused. and he rushed out
with n cooked revolver in his hand.
HE ordered the men back 10 their cars,
and they obeyed, with the exception OF a
small group. led by two desperate-looking
fellows. Wheat shot both Of them dead,
and left them In Opelika. / got to know
him well in Virginia during the war.
HE told me the only way to control his
men was 10 shoot down those who disobey-
ed or deied him, and yet they loved him
with the fidelity Of dogs They were des-
perate fighters, and Beauregard compli-
plimented them In his official report of the
first battle of Manassas.
ION our way to the battle Of Cold Har-
Dor. Colonel Wheat insisted to Lieutenant
Colonel Peck, Of the Ninth Louisiana Re-
glment, and myself. that he would be
killed In the coming battle. He was so
confident Of IL that he told Peck what he
wanted done with some property he
owned. He wanted 1t to go to his mo-
thar.
I'm that battle he was shot through the
head. and. though the ball passed through
his brain. he uttered a complete sentence
before he fell Even above the din OF bat
tie his voice could be distinctly heard as
he shouted Bury me on the battlefield.

expressed, was complied with"
