PUBLIC SPEAKING.

Last night the band was out at
the speakers stand making some
good music, the occasion being for
public speaking by Attorney Gen
eral Crane of Texas.
A great crowd had assembled to
hear Mr.. Crane, for many of our
citizens had heard him before, and
others had heard of his oratOrical
powers.
1t was soon learned that Mr..
Crane would not be with us, as he
had received a telegram from Aus
tin, turning him back from Atlanta
Texas, where he spoke Yesterday.
Mr.. Wallie Henry, acting as master
of ceremonies, made a short ex-
planatory address and said the
crowd should not be disappointed,
that addresses would be made by
W. Lee Estes and Hon. W. 7. Armi-
stead, the latter of Jefferson.
These gentlemen were both intro
duced in turn, and made good Dem
ocratic speeches. Mr.. Estes made
an appeal to the Populists and Re-
publicans to vote the Democratic
ticket, straight through, as it was
the only party offering them relief
the kind they sought, His speech
was the best we have ever heard
him deliver.
Mr.. Armistead's address was on
the same line, and he, too, made a
splendid speech for Democracy and
pure government.
The crowd paid the closest atten-
tion to all said, and we are satisfied
the people, many of them, went
home and thought long over what
they heard.

GLORIES OF OLD ROME.
Ringling Bros Realistic RoprOduc-
tion of the Ancient Hippodrome.

In the grand Roman hippodrome,
which forms an important feature
of Ringing Bros. Worlds Greatest
Shows, which exhibit in Texarkana
Saturday, October "A, a strikingly
successful effort has been made to
embody all that was most charac-
teric of the thrilling racing
contests of old Rome when Julius
Caesar was at the pinnacle of his
power. The great hippodrome
course, the solidly carved and high
ly ornate golden chariots; the mad
ly dashing, gorgeously caparisoned
horses, themselves partaking of the
excitement and intensity of the
hotly contested and perilous strug-
gle; the seemingly reckless and yet
infinitely skillful chariot drivers,
with tunics flying, and whip and
voice urging the straining horses
to greater eXertions; the pictur-
esque standing races, alike remark
able in man and beast; the Gr9cO-
Roman contests, by Herculean glad
iators, mounted on horseback the
gaily colored costumes, the waving
banners, the picture-like kaleido-
scopic colors indispensable to a
scene transported from the days Of
Roman imperial splendor into the
prosaic nineteenth century-all
combine to constitute a scene of
grandeur that can never be forgot
ten. The hippodrome features are
not, however, confined to the con-
tests Of the Roman era. The best
features of the modern turf have
been combined with the reproduc-
tion of the once famed MaXimus.
These embrace elephant races, la
dies and gentleuen's fiat and hur-
die races, pony races for the pleas
ure Of the younger element, in
which trained monkeys are utilized
as riders; comical clown races; con
tests in which heet-footed men out
run the swiftest horses; curiously
exciting races between whippet
hounds, and many other interesting
contests Of this kind never before
introduced on hlppodrome track,
A striking feature of all these
races, and that which commeuds it.

already been fayorably considered at the

Is that the contemplated immediate ex-

amount 10 about Sf7,000,000.
The most startling feature Of this hIlI
