THE DALLAS
STATE FAIR
Management Announces Some
Additional Gorgeous Spec
tacular Features.

By reason of the postponement of
the dates, the State Fair has been en-
abled to secure all the shows owned
by j. A. Darnaby and Harry r. Raver,
which require fifty cars to transport
them. The Beautiful Bsgdad, one of
the most gorgeous of these shows, is a
spectacular musical comedy, employ
ing some of the finest soloists, quar-
tettes and choruses in the country.
The music covers the entire range Of
the sacred, classic, operate and popu-
lar. The Venice City Royal Italian
Band, consisting of 25 musicians, care
fully selected from the greatest musi-
cal organizations of this country and
OF Europe, has for leader Prof. Lon-
bsrdi, who is well known in the East
ern states and in Europe as conduc-
tor and composer of the highest type.
Some of the other attractions among
the Darneby Raver shows are: Zoo
logical Eden, Creation, the Tyrolean
Alps, the Electric Theatre, Kstzen-
TANNER Castle. All these are pro-
nounced by amusement seekers to be
clean, delightful and instructive.
George Scott, the we'll known horse
man, telegrsphed the State Fair Sat-
urday that be would leave Windsor,
Ontario, Sunday night with one hum
dred high class running horses, billed
through to Dallas. He added that
after participating in the State Fair
races these horses will winter in Tex
as. But for the postponementt these
horses would not have run in the
State Fair races.
During the festivities the Fair
grounds will be illuminated like the
Worlds Fair grounds at st. Louis
were, and the illumination will be ex-
tended the entire length of Exposition
Avenue and down Main street to the
postoffice.

Where He Made His Money.

Years ago a gentleman settled in the
south of England and became very
popular in the neighbOrhood. The coun-
ty families could never discover how
he had made his money, but were sat
isfied by his solemn assurance that it
was not in trade. Nothing could ex-
ceed the ordinary gravity of his de-
meanOr, which, indeed, caused him to
be placed on the commission of peace,
but now and then, without any appar-
ent provocation, he would burst into
such laugh as no one ever heard be-
fore except in one place.
Where they could have heard it puz-
zled the county families for five and
twenty years, but at last he was be-
trayed unconsciously by his own grand
child, who after a visit to a travelling
circus innocently exclaimed, "Why,
grandpa laughs just like the clown!"

Horse. In the Time of Homer.

The horses used in Homer's time
were war horses. The warriors were
drawn in chariots. The art of riding
was known, but it is alluded to as
something unusual. Ulysses at the
time of his shipwreck "bestrode a
plank, like a horseman on a big steed." "
There are reasons for believing that
the practice of riding was much later
than that of driving, and the myth of
the centaur, where, according to Shake
speare, "man is ihcorpsed and demina-
tured with the beast" probably orig
mated at an early period when the ap-
pearance of a man on horseback was
a novel sight.

Richardson Retains State Championship.

A large crowd attended the shoot
held at Dover last Friday by the Dover
Gun Club. The principal event was
the contest between A. B. Richard

cup and was challenged by W. M.
Foord, of Wilmington. Mr.. Richard
son retained the honor with ease.
There was a team race between teams
of Dover, Cambridge. Md, and
Wawaset, Wilmington, 8 men to a
team and so birds to man. The
Dover team won by breaking 224 out
of $50; Wilmington s14, Cambridge 1874.
The second event was the 100 bird con-

for the championship of the state and
a handsome silver trophy, and was
won by Richardson, who broke 90 out
of 100. Foord broke 93.

was "Tartuffe," and at the end Of the
fourth act the manager Of the company
came in front of the curtain and said,
Ladies and gentlemen, we shall not go

audience took this announcement is not

IMPROVING HERON ST.

In connection with the improvement
of Heron street, now under consideration
by the city council, it would appear that
the time has arrived for costly expert.
mental and temporary work TO cease in
Aberdeen. AMI for the commencement OF
permanent street building. To replank
Heron street as il is, or, as suggested by
the evening paper, to drive piling on that
thoroughiare would he but a temporary
arrangement at oest, and extremely ex-
pensive to the property owners.
That the street must be paved within
a few years is admitted, and good bust
ness would dictate that whatever money
is expended before that time arr yes
should be spent with this fact in view.
The plank, with cr without piing, will
have to be removed for paving, and its
cost practically wasted. Gravel has been
furnished private parties here in small
quantities ior - car. by the railroad
company, aud could doubtless be pro.
cured in large lots by the city for less,
delivered where wanted along the street.
Twelve inches Of gravel placed on the
sawdust mattress would last some time,
and, with car load held in reserve,
could be repaired cheaply and quickly.
This would form a bed to receive the
pavement, and its cost-not much ex-
ceeding that Of plank-would not be
wasted. -
Some doubt may be expressed Of the
safety in building a permenant street on
top OF the slab and sawdust foundation,
and few years ago it was believed those
materials would have to be removed be-
fore Aberdeen could build substantial
streets. The experience OF the railroad
company, on River street, with similar
foundation has dispelled this doubt. No
more solid piece OF road bed is to be
found on the entire line than that OF
River street, ard r. R. engineers now
regard sawdust most excellent mat
tress for road bed, and the HERALD
feels safe in:predicting that this plentiful
material will prove the cheapest and
best filler fortour streets.

The report OF the interstate commerce

figures. During the past year there has
been large increase in the number Of
railroad employees, and the wages paid
out, in comparison with her years,
shows slight increase in percentage.
During the year 70 per cent OF the oper-
ating expense was paid out in wages.
This is an increase Of per cent over the

LOSES FIRST BOUT.

IN the presidents fight with the stand
patters he has lost the first bout. We
were informed by the newspaper dis.
patches that the president was going to
recommend tariff revision. The an.
nouncement caused commotlon among
the manufacturers and pressure was at
once applied. AS the time approached
for the message we were informed that
the president had decided not to refer to
the matter in the message but to deal
with it later in a special message. Now
We are informed that the president has
deciced not to call any special session OF
congress, which means that the matter
goes over till next fall. By that time the
manufacturers hope to stem the tide and
prevent any consideration OF the tariff
question. While they would have little
to fear from the appointment of q com.
mission, still they probably think it
better to exercise the influence that they
have to prevent any stirring up of the
question. Not being able to defend the
present schedules they do not want the
matter discussed, and in their first bout
with the president they have scored Q
victory.
How will it be with the effort to amend
the interstate commerce commission I?
Will the railroad managers be as sue.
cessful as the manufacturers seem to have
been?
