ery," a story of Alabama in '61 by
Sutton's Texas Company, with spec

Those who witnessed "Texas" last
evening are congratulating them

the most enjoyable theatrical enter
tainments ever given in this city and
Mr.. Sutton deserves great praise for
presenting in such sumptuous man.

one. The circus tent was filed plumb
to the apex at the first performance.
Not only was every scat occupied, f,
but standing room was all taken,
and boys climbed up on the tent
poles because there was no place
else to get.
The management had everything
so well arranged, however, that the
show proceeded 10 the delight OF all,
without any hitch or inconvenience,
except what was necessarily caused
by the terrific thunderstorm, when
the rain came down in torrents.
The management had been forced to
stop selling tickets for the first per-
formance, but another was given at
4 O'Clock when the big tent was
again filled.
"There was another crowded
house at the evening performance
and, as there was no rain to inter
rupt, complete satisfaction was
given.
"The combination OF performers
and artists in the Great Syndicate
Show and Paris Hippodromc IS one

Thanksgiving.

The Recommendation of President
Cleveland is that the people of the
United States join to-day in returning
thanks to Almighty God for the mer-
cies that have marked the year. The
governor of Montana commends to the
people OF this state a hearty response
to the proclamation of the president.
II this country and our own common
wealth have lacked during the year any
Of the elements that contribute to pros
perfty, the fault cannot be charged
against Providence. Nature has been
without stint in her gifts; all the physi-
cal conditions have been bounteously
favorable. II designing men are OBJ
stinate In their attempt to deprive Mon
tana, for instance, of the benefit OF a por-
tion of the measureless mineral wealth
which Providence has put under the
feet of the people of this state, the
fault is with the men; and II Montana
in these later years has been compelled
we who live in the state ought to be
the more thankful in that we have
been able to bear the burden cheerfully
because of the manifestations of divine
mercy that have come to us in other
ways. We have had as good a year as
most of them. a better year than many
OF them
We need to take the broader view on
days like this. Civilization moves In
cycles. not by seconds. We have the
goodly heritage that came from Him
alone to whom we are asked to ascribe
praise on each recurring Thanksgiving
day; of that we nor our children who
Will be here to enjoy the fruits Of the
earth when we are gone. cannot be de-
prived by any device of man.
Thus, in respect to material things.
we have reasons for gratitude. All in
all Montana has had a prosperous year
in most communities 1t has been a
better season than other years through
which the state has lately passed. II
has been prosperous year in Butte,
the strong industrial center of the
state; II has been the banner year in
the history of the city Of Anaconda.
Then, too, account should be taken OF
the manifold other mercies that have
marked the year. He is not a man
with his heart in the right place who
finds that in this world and in his owr
experience there is not much for which
he ought to be grateful.
Now. make 1t a jolly day for yourself
and. especially. bear in mind the fac
that the mission of Thanksgiving Il
that you are TO do what lies in you

who are less favored than you hav,

Miller In Siaht Anain.

There is a story OF a combine which
General Harrison will be sorry he ever
made IL indeed he has made 1t. The
report is that. as the result OF the gen.
erals recent visit to New York for
the purpose of fixing UP his fences. a
ticket has been arranged with Harrison
at the top and Warner Miller for Sec
ond place.
That ticket will never go, for the
republican politics in New York will
not have 1t. The proposition appears
to be to let the New York delegation
to the national convention be for Nor
ton until the managers find out what
their best play is; that has always been
the Plat method. and 1t is not to be
thought of that Mr.. Miller shall step
in and interfere. II he persists, the
question will be fought out in the state
convention that will elect the national
delegation. and Mr.. Miller will surely
be whipped then and there. 1t is said
that this ,Harrison-Miller movement
has the approval of Mr.. Depew. That
gentleman poses more or less for the
New York republicans. but 1t is always
to be remembered that when 1t comes
to managing politics he isn't knee
high.
II General Harrison wants New
York's delegation, he will have to fight
for It, And the same in Pennsylvania
already the republicans in that state
are lining up for struggle involving
the control of the delegation to the ma
tional convention. The Wanamakei
people, Carnegie. the governor and 9th
ers are taking sides for Harrison; Sen
ator Quay has as good as declared
| himself for Reed.

land and Kentucky. A movement was
inaugurated in Chicago for the purpose
of sending an exhibit from that city,
which, II Is claimed, would have been
one of the most attractive In the build
ing. but unfortunately the building con-
tains but 1900 feet OF exhibit space.
This was entirely taken up before the
request of the negroes of Chicago was
received. The oldest and most conspicu-
Gus OF the various Industrial institutions
for negroes is the Hampton Normal and
Agricultural institute, which has a really
excellent exhibit. It was this school that
graduated Booker T. Washington, who
has become. at least for the South. the
prophet of the race. His address at the
striking and widely-quoted on that occa-
sion What he accomplished for the new
State Normal school at Tuskeegee. Ala.
has been published broadcast since his
memorable address, when he advised that
the negro begin at the bottom instead OF
at the top. and that when he reached
the higher plane II would be through his
absolute fitness and not by the jugglery
of "a false and forced development.
. 4 Specimens Of the handiwork Of the Tus-
keegee students are shown in profusion.
An elaborately-carved oak hall piece. a
mahogany mantle and q heavy drill press
being among other things. The students
there make harness. wagons and shoes.
and are taught expert tailoring. Speci-
mems Of neediework from the girls are
exhibited. They are also taught laundry
ing millinery. tailoring and cooking. In
the manufacture Of articles Of the above
character the greatest proficiency IL
shown.
/ II there Is any one feature In which
the display of the negro building drops
noticeably below what would be regarded
as high class, II Is in the display OF
painting and works of art. There Is a
number of notable exceptions. The statue
by w. c. Hill of Washington, d. c..
showing a negro of the muscular build,
standing with knit brow, as II studying
to free himself from the menaces which
bind his wrists, as he holds them up be-
fore him, having the bonds broken but
not off," is a remarkably effective and
artistic piece of work. A clay bust OF
Sumner, by Edmonia Lewis, perhaps the
most advanced and famous artist OF her
race, and now studying in Rome, is really
of a high order. Among the most promi-
nent pictures are a lions head, THE
Bagpipe Lesson and THE Banjo Les

Winter Quarters

The Barnum show arrived last night
from Texas. While the train was slowly
going over the trestlework at Norwalk,
where the Consolidated railroad is maxi
ing improvements, 1t was noticeable that
the wild animals were getting uneasy
They crowded over to the west side of
their cages and howled and roared. The
slower the train proceeded the more noise
they made.
When the train took the sidetrack, just
outside the winter quarters, the animals
made a terrific noise. The beasts knew
they were home again. The train slowly
crawled along on the siding. The animals
crowded over on the west side, just like
passengers on an excursion steamboat,
and, as a result. the soft sand gave way
under the rails and the train tipped to
port.
over went some of the cages, and as
they burst open out scrambled the saw
age beasts. Lions. tigers. pumas and
leopards jumped over the high board
fence that surrounded the big buildings.
The CRATES looked over the fence until
the elephants came along. Then they
pushed 1t down in a jiffy and the ami
mails, two by two. swarmed into the big
place.
The lions and tigers ran pell nell for

Each took his accustomed place and the
keepers allege, tied the chain around his
foreleg with his trunk. They all whistled

Owing TO the fact that a very large
