An odd interloper in the very heart
Of the German quarter Is repareir of
French dolls. His shop is Uttered
with the papier mache parts OF dolls
with heads, arms, legs and trunks of
all sizes and shapes, The mangled
remains, so to speak, are thrown care
lessly into open boxes, where. with
their flesh tints, they make grew
some nisplay. The repairer will UNI
do the ravages of time or supply mem
bcrs reft from hapless dolls by reck-
less little owners. lie knows all
about the internal mechanism of the
most lifelike doll, and can restore
suppleness to eyelids suddenly grown
rigid, and supply the lost squeak of
the doll that no longer responds to n
squeeze. The man is evidently out OF
place, and he speaks regretfully of
the West side, as though that were
the tr ne home of his soul and his del.

AT THE JAPANESE LEGATION

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Information
received at the japanese legation is
that Mr.. Shinichiro Kurino, the new
minister to this country, will leave
Japan today for his new post of duty.
He is expected here the latter part of
the month.
The legation officials have not vet
mad any communication from Valen-
tine Nowacki, the leader of the foreign
forces of the Pennsylvania coke strik-
ers, who is supposed to offer to raise
5000 soldiers for use in the war against
China. 1t is pretty safe to say, how.
ever, that while Mr.. Nowacki's offer
would be duly appreciated, yet it
would be promptly declined. Japan's
army has been brought up to very
high standard of efficiency, modelled
after the tactics in vogue in GERMANY,
and if the former government sought
the assistance of foreign troops, which
is not regarded as prabable, it is likely
that efforts would be made to obtain
them from Germany.

Special to The Statesman.
HALLETTsvILLE, Tex, Aug. -
Both the Gresham and Lane forces
held caucusses last night and 1t was
supposed when the convention met
this morning some solution of the
trouble would be offered. When
Chairman Rsgsdale called the con-
vention to order, roll was called. No
change in the vote was made. After
taking 100 ballots the convention ad-
journed until 2 p. m. When the con.
ventlon was again called to order,
Geo. Burgess of Gonzales arose and
said: "Our forces are determined
never to vote for Mr.. Gresham and II
the other side is determined never to
vote for Mr.. Lane, then in the interest
of our party and country some-
thing ought to be done, and
announce by the authority of the Lane
delegates and with the knowledge
and consent of Mr.. Lane, that If the
other side will join with US and with
draw Gresham and Lane and nomi-
nate Maj. M. F. Mott we will cast our
"a votes for Mr.. Mott"
Gresham's forces did not bite at
this bait, and the roll call was pro.
ceeded with, each county voting as
before. After ballotting awhile the
whole convention adjourned until to.
morrow morning.
Lanes followers, or at least a part
OF them, have all along been holding
up Miles Crowley as scarecrow to
Austin and Lavaca counties, threat
eDing that if these counties did not
come to Lane they would combine
with Galveston and nomi.
nate Crowley. they have, however,
not placed his name before the
convention and 1t is evident that some
of them would not be party to such
q proceeding.
Galveston county, We're they to nom.
mate Crowley and give bim their full
vote, would also vote for him and he
woJld have the nomination and this
they do not want. He is young and
would be too long in the way, while
Matt is old. New delegates arrived
today. Caucuses will be held tonight
and unless some agreement Is reached
the convention will adj )urn till after

has frien ts in the Colorado and Con
zales delegations who prefer him tt

price Of these share ought not to eX-
ceed $50 nor he less than $40, and
thre a-fourths OF the stock should be
held by the most enterprising farm
ers in tn county, the remainder
to be owned by residents of the
city where the fair is held. The
amount of land to be controlled by
the association depends upon its ca
pacity for doing business. If a large
city is near to the grounds, and the
county is thickly populated, Il larger
acreage is Of course necessary than
under less favorable surroundings,
but no association in these progress
i've times should own less than forty
acres of land.
In improving and locating the
buildings the same should be so dis
tributed that the uncomfortable
massing OF visitors can be avoided, as
the crowding of large throngs mate
rally lessons the pleasure and COM
fort OF fair patrons, and naturally
the gate receipts as well. Another
advantage gained by the proper and
jud;cious arrangement Of buildings is
security in case OF fire, which can be
controlled more successfully among
detached structures than when the
same are grouped together.
