TEMPLE OF FASHION OPENING
All of Texarkana Fair Sex Out
Last Night.

The Autumn Opening of the Tem1
pie OF Fashion last night proved to
be a repetition of the many au-
tumnal opeuings,heretofore enjoyed
by our society ladies as place to
60 to study fashions in head wear
from the cities that set the pace il
fashionable designs.
Mrs. Lizzie ODonnelrS millinery
establishment is one of the oldest
in the city, and this lady has done
more for the fashionabIy inclined,
than any other one agency for
miles around.
Mrs. O'Donnell does not wait for
the drummer to call on her and
pass off antiquated shapes in head
wear, long discarded by others
in larger cities, but makes Pilgrim
ages to New York, and remains
six, eight or ten weeks, and being a
lady of close observation, studies
the modes of dress and hat creations
and when thoroughly satisfied that
she understands what will please
the ladies here she buys her stook
for the market. The ladies are not
slow to appreciate this fact, as was
attested at the opening last night
We can better describe the num-
Der that were out to inspect the
stock by saying that the opening as
a crowd drawer, was to the ladies,
what Ringling's circus is to the pop
ulace at large.
The large establishment last night
was filled as full of fashionable
dressed ladies as the proverbial sar-
dine box is found to contain sar-
dimes and many fingered on the
curb waiting their chance to get in
and we believe, all made an inspec-
tion before the doors were closed.
Mrs. O'Donnel certainly has a fine
stock of autumn hats and bonnets,
ranging in price from $3.50 to $35
The Temple of Fashion employs
IL trained lady clerks to wait on
and trim hats tor customers. The
establishment is not dependent
alone on local trade, but every post
brings orders to it from a distance.
The decorations last night was
autumn leaves. The show windows
held many fine and costly hats, and
the ladies never tired looking at the
display.
The opening was one of the most
successful yet held in the city. We
say, long live the Temple of Fashion.

Last issue of the Recorder of
New Lewisville, dated Oct 7th, un-
der head of Correction" says that
story it copied from this paper a
bout mob coming here and trying
to lynch a negro "was a fake, pure
and simple. Recorder is badly
mistaken. There was mob here,
composed of some prominent citi-
zens of Lafayette and this county,
but the gritty sheriff of this county
prevented anything like lynching,
we are proud to say. A prominent
ex-officer of Lafayette county was
among the crowd from
that county. AS the trouble
has "bIown over" we will not call
names-could easily do so. We
trust the Recorder will correct its
correction" There was a mob,
some of them from Lafayette coun-
ty. This paper did not say any OF
them came from New Lewisville.

Latterly, however, the market has been

buyers commenced to hil up from other
directions and prices took an upward turn

more than one-half cent had been estab-

The London Times statement this morn
ing of the late Lieut.. Col Henry's trea-
son caused considerable of sensation here
ana was much discussed among the news
paper men and all others interested in the
trial. The affirmation of Henry that Es-
terhazy was his aecomplice is only a con-
firmation of what has already many times
been stated
But what was regarded important Is
the fact that the Times announced it in
SUCH categorical terms, demonstrating
according to the views of the friends of
Dreyfus here that the Times people have
actually seen documents. submitted 10
them by more than one foreign military
attache, presenting the strongest proof of
Henry's guilt, and, moreover, that this
announcement can only prelude the publi-
cation in the Times of the actual docu-
ments
The correspondent here of the Associated
Press spoke to Maj. Forzittini, who was
SovernoG of the Cherche Midi prison dur
ing Dreytus' Incarceration there and who
was cashiered on account of his declara-
tons favorable to Dreyfus attitude while
the latter was in prison. Forzinetti said:
The Times statement confirms my own
view l was convinced of Henry's COM
plicity from the very first and always
regarded him as the real culprit"
Regarding the courtmartial, he said:
Tomorrow will undoubtedly be the
most important day of the whole pro-
ceeding, as Gen. Mercier and NJ Casimir-
Perier 0ormer President of France) il
time admits, will be confronted and a
most dramatic scene is Inevitable, as their
