The International shops and general
offices at Palestine closed down yester-
day and will remain so until quaran-
tine is raised. This adds about 600
more idle men to the already large
number.
Business at the various railroad de-
pots is almost at a standstil, and 1t Is
a wonder that the roads are not COM
pletely tied up. There Is little or no
freight moving and the passenger traf-
nc consists chiefly of railroad officials,
conductors, engineers and other men
required to run the trains.

WILL UNION SCENE SHIFT

SCENERY?
Central Labor Union May lake In

Which Case War WILDE /.
HOt-Managers Prepar-
iEg For The Worst.

New York, Oct. 14.-The Herald
says:
The result of the present war be-
tween the union and non-union scene
painters is still an open question.
Whether or not the union stage
hands in the various theatres will re-
fuse to handle scenery painted by
non-union artists is still doubtful, al
though If the obey the resolution
adopted by the Central Labor union
they certainly will.
The managers at least are preparing
for the worst and at almost every the
atre in the city such arrangements are
being made that should the union stage
hands strike and refuse to handle any
scenery another corps of workmen
will be within easy call and there will
be no delay, in making any produc-
ton that comes along. The managers
are determined that their stage car
penters and scene shutters shall not
interfere in their business arrange
ments. r....
The managers of road companies,
too, are picking up their ears and
casting about them to find means
o. avoiding any possible trouble, for
there is every indication that the
union intends to carry the fight against
the non-union scenery shutters. News
comes that the Actors Association OF
America is contemplating affiliating
with the labor unions. The matter
has been under consideration for some
time and the counsellor of the society
has been asked to give his opinion at
meeting to be held tomorrow as to
whether or not such an utilization is
possible under the present constitu-
ton and bylaws.
Mr.. +. F. Mckay, one of the most
prominent members of the society, is
strongly opposed to any such step be-
ing taken. He thinks the society can
accomplish its purpose better by in
dependent work but there are many
in the society, however, who feel that,
with the cooperation of the labor
unions they would be in stronger
position to demand better terms from
the managers. Some definite action,
it is expected, will be taken at the
next meetin and should the Actors
society become a branch of the Gen.
trail Labor union and should they join
with the union scene painters in their
present fight some very lively times
may be anticipated.

NOLES|)N,S OPENING
Fall Millinery Opening Was Very
AuSpiciOuS.

The magnet that drew throngs
of San Antonio's fairest daugh-
tiers down town yesterday was the
grand Opening display of Fall
and winter goods at l.. Wolf
sons.
The chief center of attraction
was, of course, the millinery de-
partment, on the second floor; the
spacious rooms had been turned in
to a veritable bower of beauty;
handsome draperies covered the
walls and festOOns of bright rib
bOns were suspended from the
ceiling; Oriental Rugs, strewn
with artistic disorder, and a pro-
fusion of palms and other ported
plants gave a finishing touch to
the beautiful scene. From an al
cove hidden by draperies and
plants the sweet strains of music
from a select orchestra, issued,
while at the other end of the
room refreshments were served
to the thousands of pleased visi-
tors.
Among the many beautiful
Hats shown the ones that attract
ed the special attention of the
Light representative was large
black velvet Victoria hat, the
the high rolling brim of which
was faced with cut jet, most ar
tistically trimmed with handsome
black ostrich plumes, that curved
gracefully around the crown and
about the brim at the back; cut
jet ornaments placed here and
there relieved the sOmbreness and
scintillated in the sun.
Another was a Mode Poke
made of the finest French felt
trimmed with accOrdian plated
Mode Satin. Coqueu feathers
and steel ornaments; while a
third was a large grey velvet hat
trimmed with Moire ribbon shad-
ed from the lightest to the dark
est tones of grey. A long grey
ostrich plume curled gracefully
around the brim and bright can
airy tips gave a touch of color to
the whole.
Leaving the millinery rooms the
pleased thrOngs drifted toward
the cloak rooms in the rear. Here
were shown sopSe ofthe host chic
and stylish wraps ever brought
to Texas. Capes still seem to
have the lead in general form. A
particularly handsome one was of
silk velvet cut with a very full
sweep, profusely ornamented
with cut jet and high storm collar
and front edged with Marten fur
and lined with satin. There were
many others, but it would be i'm
possible to describe them all.
The display of silks and dress
goods on the first floor was a
Kaleidoscope effect of cOlors and
tints that dazzled the eye. Every
thing a woman could wish, from
the cheapest cotton to the finest
silk was shown, and all in the
latest and most up to date pat
terms.
On every side was heard words
of admiration and praise for the
enterprising firm who had bought
such an array of fine and tasteful
goods to our city. And we do
not think that there was any lady
that was at WOlfson's yesterday
that will not try and go again to-
day or tomorrow or next day, for
the display will continue for the
rest of the week.

THE OKLAHOMA wATERspoUr.

Many years before the remote territory
of the Indians became an organized terri
tory, and before the cyclone had become
known under that name. the periodical
appearance of the old waterspout was
looked for. 1t is some years since Okla
homa, as it is now called. has been visited
by one of these atmospheric terrors.
which seem to take turns in making their
visits. Last year st. Louis was the scene
of greatest destruction for the season, and
prior 10 that its presence has been an
nounced from Iowa. Kansas, Arkansas,
Northern Texas and Colorado Whether
it passes as dry wind, waterspout, or
a cloudburst makes very little difference.
The damage is due to the swirling air, and
all the rest are incidents.
Twice has Oklahoma territory been
visited by these atmospheric disturbances
this year, and the destruction of property
has been very great. Fortunately the
loss of life has been comparatively small,
but the suffering is shocking. Not only
are the unfortunate people subjected to
the hardships and privations of the pres
ent, but such wholesale destruction of
small homes means painful distress for
long time. The people are nearly ell
new comers, with very little means. and
they are not in position to help one an
other. 1t viii probably be necessary to
go 20 their relief. and some OF the money
which was offered to, but not required by.
the sufferers from the Mississippi floods
can now be devoted by congress to a very
mertorious cause.
