AMUSEMENT NOTES

Helen Pingres and the Sheath Gown.
Miss Helen Pingree, the charming little
leading lady Of the Adam Good company,
which attraction comes to the opera
house all this week. has some ideas Of
her own on the sheath gown question,
which she graciously unfolded TO Curl
Gus newspaper man recently.
DO you think these gowns will ever
be popular as the universal robing Of
woman kindf" Miss Pingree was asked.
NO. she replied, with . naive laugh,
"they can never be universal covering,
with that cleft on the side, but ! do
believe they can be generally worn by
women, and why not They are not
at all immodest, ii people would only
view them rightly
At the right angle n
mo, not that, but view them as a
garment that is exceedingly cool and
comfortable, and at the same time taste
full and pretty. without offending ones
propriety, If only people would view
them from the right standpoint"
mot too closelyf7
ooh, no. indeed, but without thinking
Of them as anything more than artistic
and al the same time sensible creations
from the point Of ease and freedom OF
movement They are really much more
easy to wear than the ordinary dress
encountered with auxiliary petticoats. !"

flames was not checked until they had
eaten their way to the Texas & Pacific
railroad reservation on the east. On the
south the fire was checked at the Texas

that saved the wholesale district Of the
city, which at one time was in imminent
danger Of destruction.
The Texas & Pacific roundhouse and
20 engines, Che repair shops, four
churches, two public school buildings and
Walkers sanatorium were the public
buildings destroyed The Others were
residences, most Of them new and pre-
tsntious, in the most exclusive section
Of the city. So rapidly did the flames
spread that people living within a radius
had no time to save anything except
the clothing they wore. A patient whose
identity has not been learned persisted
in Walkers sanatorium, and three men

.F|LIBUSTeR IS LOOKED FOR
OPPOSITION TO COMPROMISE
BILL ON BROWNSVILLE.
Senator Clay Says That Several
Weeks May Be Employed in
Talking About It.

There is little doubt at the Capitol that
the democrats in the Senate intend to
conduct we'll organized f1libuSter
against the Aldrich compromise bill for
the re-enlistment of the soldiers who
were discharged without honor by the
President as result of the shooting up
of the town of Brownsville, Tex, over
two years ago.
No bill for the re-enlistment of these
soldiers would meet with approval of
democrats. so the compromise, though
satisfactory both to Senator Foraker and
the President, does not have any favor
in their eyes.
Mr.. Foraker said yesterday that he eX-
pected to see the democrats ''be good
when the time comes to actually take up
the bill. but his prOfessed optimism Is
not shared by other republican senator's.
Senator Clay of Georgia, who Is pretty
close 70 what is going Oh in the Senate at
all times. was asked yesterday what the
members of his party intend to do tomor-
row when the motion is made by Senator
Foraker to take a vote on the bill.
I'VE will vote against it, said he,
smiling.
He was then asked directly whether an
attempt would be made to prevent a vote
by tilibustering.
Well he replied. 'I believe we ex-
pect to consume two or three weeks, at
least, talking about it,
When it is remembered that the present
Congress has less than five weeks OF life.
it can be readily seen that should the
democratic senators keep up determined
ilibuster they would have a pretty good
chance of preventing action of any kind
on the measure.
Another thing that makes the situa-
ton a grave one from Senator Foraker's s
point Of view is that there are about d
dozen appropriation bills yet to be con-
idered and passed by the Senate before
March next. 1t is essential to the run
ming of the government that these go
through. SO there will be little time left
10 talk about the Brownsville bill, or any
other, for that matter.
