with the French designer, ad-

important changes they believed
would occur in the style and

for us to withhold our order as
long as possible. We accepted
their good advice and as aresult,
while we are a few weeks late
with our opening, we can now
boast of the very newest crea-

BECOMING SERIOUS.
Entire State of Texas Awakening to the Sit
 uation-Shot Gun Quarantine.

Austin, Tex, Oct. 12.-The most serious circumstance now confronting the peo- pie of Texas is the almost complete blockading of traffic owing to the yell low fever situation. Many trains on all the principal lines have been abandoned and local lines have stopped running en- tirely. Both divisions of the Houston and Texas Central and the Southern Pacific are tied up most effectually to- night, not single wheel moving save in the extreme northern portion of the state. Every small town in the state Is rapidly organizing shot gun quarantines so trains cannot stop, except at the big cities.
 The situation in the entire state is highly panicky and the feeling is one of growing alarm and apprehension. By tomorrow night unless the situation Is soon relieved the entire southern and central portion of the state will be practically without any railroad facili- ties, as all trains will ba stopped.

Galveston, Tex, Oct. 12.-The situation in Galveston tonight is hopeful. It is agreed that the fever is of mild brand, and not to be feared. Yesterday there were sixty cabin passengers booked to leave on the New York steamer this morning, that being the only way to get out of the city. Thirty of these passen- gers cancelled their engagements and did not go.
 The board of health issued an address today, declaring the disease to be of a Night type, and state that eleven cases have been reported i'm an. All are either recovered or convalescent.
 The first nhaI since Sa turday night arrived today, three tons of it. The principal line sare bringing freight into Galveston, and are being allowed to re- turn their box cars north, so that ex- port business is proceeding. No freight is yet allowed to go north. Free con- munica tion was es established between Houston and Galveston today.
 1t was decided by the board of health today to close the schools.
 Dr. A. H. West, of the board of health, reported this afternoon that Isador May CT, a fisherman, aged 46, living at Thirty second street, had a mild case of yellow fever.

 The fever is making the greatest prog ress along the center of the residence portion of the city in the Broad street and the Spring avenue districts, but still it is not at the ratio noted at the be- ginning of he outbreak, while the vir- ulence of the disease has not increased.
