Dallas;, Tex., Jan. 1.—C. C. Slaughter,
president of the Texas Reunion asso-
ciation, wired Gen. John B. Gordon of
the United Confederate Veterans that
the annual reunion of the members
of that organization would be held
here in April, as arranged, and that
this city would raise ana expend for
their entertainment between $40,000
and $50,000.
President Slaughter was authorized
to do this at a meeting of the reunion
directors and committees and many
citizens held at the commercial club
rooms Tuesday afternoon commenc-
;iyg at 2 o'clock. Several stirring
speeches were made, President Slaugh-
ter leading off. During the course of
his remarks he said that much of the
credit for raising the large sum al-
ready on hand was due to Frank L.
Irvine of this city, who had made good
a guarantee to raise a certain great
amount in two days. He was follow-
ed by Mr. Irvine, who took the floor
in response to enthusiastic calls. Mr.
Irvine said that Dallas "simply had to
raise the money." "There are no two
ways about it, gentlemen," he declar-
ed. "You must raise that money or
your town will get a blacK eye rrom
which it will take a long time to re-
cover." The next speaker was J. T.
Trezevane, who spoke In similar vein.
The reports of all committees were
then collected and the grand total as-
certained. The exact amount was not
permitted to be made public through
the press, but it was so near the limit
fixed that it was determined to author-
ize President Slaughter to send Gen.
Gordon the telegram referred to, and
to arrange for a still more aggressive
campaign for funds. This decision
was incorporated into the following
resolution, offered by J. T. Trezevant,
and unanimously adopted:
"Resolved, That in so much as we
have already subscribed an amount ex-
ceeding $33,000, and are fully assured
that we will be able to raise an addi-
tional $17,000 in the next sixty days,
therefore the directors of this reunion
association are directed to notify Gen.
John B. Gordon that the Confederate
reunion will be held in the city of
Dallas on April 22 to 25, inclusive, as
outlined in our original programme."
MASSACHUSETTS MADMAN.
He Does Some Awful Work Before His
Arrest is Effected.
Turner Falls, Mass., Jan. 1.—Louis
Bitzer, 35 years of age, a jeweler of
this place, shot five persons, two of
whom, his clerk, Miss Ida Golumbe,
and Bitzer's 5-year-old son, are dead.
His other victims were his wife, Chris-
tine, and his two daughters, Annie,
about 16 years of age, and Carrie, 12
years of age. It is not thought they
will die. There is evidence that it was
Ritzer's purpose to take his own life.
From a note left in his store by Rit-
zer it appears that while he was clean-
ing a revolver the weapon was' dis-
charged accidentally and that the bul-
let hit Miss Golumbe in the head, kill-
ing her instantly. Bitzer apparently
rushed to his home, hatless and wild
with excitement and began the work
of exterminating his family.
The little boy, ill in bed with
measles, was shot and killed.
The 16-year-old daughter, Annie, was
wounded through the left hand and in
the ear.
Mrs. Bitzer was hit in the face, the
bullet passing through the nose.
The sound of the shots brought
neighbors into the house and Bitzer
was arrested. The police believe that
Bitzer is insane. The note which they
found in his store after the affair was
almost an incoherent jumble of words.
After telling of the shooting of Miss
Golumbe, Bitzer wrote that he had de-
termined to go to his home and end
the lives of his wife and children and
his own. He asked that at his funeral
the hymn, "Nearer, My God, to Thee,"
be sung.
He wished that his property should
be given to his brother and his aged
motner, and ended the letter with an
expression to the effect that "God
would not blame a man for doing what
he had done."
Lack of Respect.
Paris, Tex., Jan. 1.—Complaint was
lodged against a Delta county man liv-
ing near Enloe, charging him with dis-
turbing the peace. It is claimed that
on Sunday just after a funeral proces-
sion passed his house he went out in
the public road and touched off a fire-
cracker.
Death Watch.
Waco, Tex., Jan. 1.—Anderson Nor-
ris, the condemned murderer of Mrs
French, has been placed in the cell of
doom with a death watch holding
ceaseless vigil at hand. On his own
suggestion he is supplied with extras
at meals, and he will be allowed to
select a suit to wear on the gallows
and in his coffin. He made a state
ment to reporters in which he declar-
ed his innocence of crime for which
he is to be executed on 10th.
Oil of high grade has been struck
near Toyah.
Sunday law is being rigidly enforc-
ed at Navasota.
Postoffice at Ridgeway, with all its
^ontents, burned.

ing courthouse bonds.

J. A. Kinney, a carpenter, was shot
and killed on Pearl street near Bowie.
Three bullets entered his body. F. A.
Steinman, an architect surrendered.
Christmas was generally observed all
over the Lone Star state. The mer-
cantile establishments did a thriving
business for days before the grea
day of rejoicing and thousands of hap-
py hearts was the rule from one end
of the state to the other.
The combined offerings of the pub
lie school children of Dallas to the

MATERIAL FOR TEA GOWNS.
Women, both old and young, are at-
tractive in tea gowns. Now that the
princess and empire effect are so much
in vogue many of the most elaborate
gowns are built on these lines, and
they do service for afternoon frocks
at home. These becoming toilets are
built of a great variety of fabrics, and
everything from crepe de chine and
lace to broadcloth is employed for
their construction. Panne is used per-
forated in some design and outlined
with embroidery, a contrasting color
used for the foundation. Broadcloth
trimmed with fur and lace constitutes
beautiful tea gown. It is cut prin-
cess, the fabric of biscuit colored cloth,
it outlined with sable, and a lace
bolero is also edged with a narrow
binding of the fur, which gives it a
chic touch. A model of yellow panne
is cut empire, a border of perforated
design runs down one side of the front
and about the bottom and shows a
foundation of white satin at the bot-
tom of the hem is a narrow band of
mink. The short waist is finished with
a folded belt of white liberty satin,
which has sash ends in front, fringed,
and it fastens with a large, old silver
buckle, set wij;h yellow topaz. The
neck is cut V shape and finished with
a deep shoulder collar of old lace.
Dainty gowns are made of lace and
ribbon and hung over foundations of
silk the same color as the* ribbon.
Cashmere makes an attractive tea
gown, and when the light shades are
used it is well to bind the bottom with
black silk or 'ribbon to keep it clean.
A model that lends itself well to a
cashmere negligee is laid in plaits in
the back to form a yoke. Plaits also
appear on the front, which is double-
breasted and fasten with a shawl re-
ver, which is faced with either silk or
velvet. Both short and long jackets
are also modish worn with silk petti-
coats of the same shade and same
material if possible.
short and are used in the morning and
for shopping. The tailor finish is re-
quired on all gowns more than ever,
but so much adornment in the way of
fancy stitching, elaborate embroidery
and intricate braiding is now fashion-"
able that the old regulation "tailor^
made" can scarcely be recognized in
these rich and graceful "creations,"
which are suitable for the afternoon
promenade and at all times when a
carriage is used. This attractive tail-
or-made fall costume intended for
street wear is of tan cheviot, elaborate-
ly stitched and braided. The Eton
coat is made to close in front and is
trimmed with a fancy braid. The col-
lar is of tan panne velvet. The skirt
is plain with stitched seams and hag,

rows of stitching. Corticelli stitching
silk, size D, is a very good silk and
is generally used by the largest dress-
makers for this purpose.
HINTS AS TO STAIR CARPETS.
When buying stair carpets always
allow three-quarters to a yard over
for each flight of stairs, and then when
you lift the carpet the same parts do
not come on the edge of the stairs. By
remembering this plan and allowing
the extra piece the carpets will last
half as long again as they would
otherwise do.

white.
SOME FETCHING NOVELTIES.
Next to velvets, satin-faced broad-
cloths rank in favor. Panne velvet,
stitched, is much liked as a trimming
for costumes of broadcloth. Whip-
cords, zibelines, camel's hair, worsted
burlaps, Venetian cloth, mixed chevi-
ots and serges are also used for street
gwns. Louisine and novelty silks are
with turn over collar and narrow tie
of black taffeta stitched in white.

LACE LORE.
Lace proper only dates back to the
sixteenth century, and may be divided
into two classes, needlepoint, and
that which is produced by interweav-
ing threads with bobbins on a pillow.
Needle point represents the transi-
tion phase between embroidery on fine
linen and the making of lace as a
separate and valuable fabric, in which
both the ornament and the ground-
work are produced by the worker.
The great impetus to lac«-making
in France, and the Low Countries was
given by Colbert, the famous minister
of Louis Quartorze, who realized that
the prosperity of the country depend-
ed very much on the small paying in-
dustries that the lower and middle
classes can produce in their own
homes.
The Revolution checked the lace-
making trade, but Napoleon, with his
empresses Josephine and Marie Louise,
sought to revive it.
Chantilly lace, if genuine, never
dates back further than the seven-
teenth century, and black silk chan*
tilly is all of the eighteenth, and latei;
Among the best known laces in Eng-
land are Honiton, Northants, Bedford
and Buckinghamshire varieties. Nee-
dlerun laces are occasionally made in
small quantities in several counties.
This season Irish lace is in the as-
cendancy. The chief Irish laces are
needlepoints of more or less beauty,
principally made in convents, at You-
ghal, New Ross, and Kinmare; and
after these Carrickmacross and Lim-
erick, and the modern crochet and
tatting.
