THE MAI-FEST.
Second Day's Proceeiup-Iieal
Weather-Fair Attendance.
SECOND DAY'S PROGRAMME
Quite Iiitbrestiiig to the Little Folks Who
Had tlie Larger Part of tlie
Day's Proceedincs.
The second day of the Thirteenth
Annual Maifest and Live Stock Show
of the Brenham fire department was
ushered in under equally as auspicious
circumstances as the first, save that
the people were weary with the pleas-
ures of the first, which extended far
into tho night, almost encroaching
upon the second.
Not a fleck of cloud dimmed the
symmetry of a clear blue sky as the
sun arose upon a sleeping city. T' e
overgreen decorations, by their with-
ered appearance, told of their service
during- the day previous in the hot
sun of an almost tropical clime, but
the bright bunting and American
flags floated to the breeze just as bright
and cheerful as the day before, to
catch the first faint gleam of the
bright Aurora as he shed his oflulgent
beams athwart tho horizon.
It was noticeable that the people
were not so eager for the pleasures,
and consequently, not in such haste
to gather on the public square, it being
9 o'clock beforo there was much evi-
dence of an unusual occurrence in the
city. But the early trains poured
into our confines a host of visitors,
while most of those ot the day beforo
had remained over.
The procession formed at the Central
school building on Sandy street under
the supervision of the teachers and
moved in the following order:
ORDER OF THE PROCESSION.
Chief of Fire Department.
Second Regiment Band.
Mother Goose, King Cole.
Mother Hubbard.

Arriving at the park the little folks
were helped from their floats and took
their places on the May Queen's stand
whore Mother Goose spoke as follows:
MOTHER GOOSE'S SPEECH—BY MISS
DUSKY PENNINGTON.
Kind friends we claim your welcome
smilo
As we the fleeting hours beguile,
While Mother Goose with songs of
Spring
Sweet as birds to you will siug.
See on my left and on my right.
Their rosy faces, beaming, bright,
All dressed in pink and white and
blue;
Behold ray court—your subjects true.
They bioom like flowers in the Spring,
As gay as butterflies on the wing.
Their teachings always will enduro
In gontle lines, so good and pure.
But you shall hear these subjects
speak
In voices strong or accents weak;
By nod of head or wave of hand,
All gladly move at my oommand.
She then called for the speech of
Cinderella, and following is the re-
sponse: *
speech of miss ada becker—as
cinderella.
From the nursery Cinderella has de-
parted;
Many years she's been away;
But Mother Goose she finds so gay-
hearted
That with her court she comes to-day.
Comes with her prince to pay due
homage.
Brings her Herald, Knight and Page;
Sisters, stepmothers, all acknowledge
Joys you give in youth and age.
They wish for you a glad, bright time
And hope to add some pleasure

To you whose wisdom/sung in rhyme,
Has been a life-long treasure
The speech of Little Bo-Peep was
next called for and elicited this re-
sponse:
SPEECH OK MISS ELLA GHESECKE—AS
BO-PEEP.
I'm glad to rest awhile
From seeking my lost sheep,
And you shallhear a word
From wandering Bo-Peep.
How often we pursue
Some fleeting show, doing good,
Aud fall to take the wealth
We might have if we would.
We dream of purpose gained,
As I'd found my sheep,
. But waking find a blank,
Ho on our search we keep.
But*I did not mean
To moralize to you,
Yet if you think upou
My words, you'll find them true.
Hasn't Got Any, Neither Has
A«ybody Else! #
With the changing seasons, human-
ity changes its wearing apparel. And
tlio foot-coverings are by no means the
best Import thereof. For its your shoe
that eucouuters tho brunt of the
weathor. For this reason shoes should
bo solected with an eye to durability.
Our tan Slippers, with buckles and
bows for infant's, children and misses
is the only complete line of the kind
in the city. These; goods at once
combine the latest stylos with perfect
fit aud durability. We have no
hand-sewed button shoes for $2.50 and
$3, neither has anybody else. We have
however button shoos at $1.75, $2,
$2.50, which for style, fit, comfort and
durability are superior to shoes sold
elsowhoro at doublo the prices men-
tioned. This offer is necessarily tem-
poray as our stock is rapidly being
reduced to make room for a large stock
of Summer foot-wear which is soon to
arrive. There is annually a vast
amouut ol' trashy shoes palmed off
on an unsuspecting public by unscru-
pulous dealers. An exclusive shoe
dealer can not afford to sell such trash
in fact, it would endanger his reputa-
tion to give away that have so .little
merit as some of tlio trash we see ad-
vertised. Yours for honest goods,
lowest prices.

The speech of Little Red Riding
Hood was then called for and little
Miss Becrcy responded as follows :
RED RIDING HOODS SPEECH—BY
MISS lv ITT IE SEARCY.
You all know the simple story
About Red Riding Hood,
How all along to Grandma's
I journeyed through the woods ;
And the little basket carried,
In the morning bright
With the golden balls of butter,
Beneath the napkin white,
I must have thought of Gradma's
Whilo walking in the shade.
How loving and gladly
She'd greet the little maid,
And when my basket opened,
How pleased tho dame would bo
To see the little presents,
Put up so carefully.
And then the deceivor—
The wolf with cruel eyes,
The simple child confiding
Moro innocent than wise
Nothing knowing of the dange.i
* Nor bewarning in the way,
Tho littio.story tells us,
Falls to the wiles as prey.
It is a vory sad story
But Like Red Riding Hood
All you poor little children
Are walking in the wood
Your path is very pleasant
Aud set with many a snare
The wolf is watching for you
Qh, Little ones beware.

Ed Beaucbamp was throwu from the

Mr. R. S. Butler, of Waxahachioi
the Bill Suort of Texas Farm aud

Many of the visitors returned home

onade after tho exercises.

the industrial army.
The Governor After Th«m--The Sheriff on
The Lookout.
Tho industrial army that was organ-
ized at Houston a few days ago, havo
been on the road from there for a day
or two, aud betweon Bellville and
Brenham siuce Wednesday evening,
the most of them gettinir in beforo
0 o'clock last night. Sherill Teague
was on the lookout for them ready to
act as soon as they wero guilty of any
overt act, but as a further precaution
I Governor Hogg Thursday wired liini
! as follows:
Austin, Tex., May 18.—Capt. 1). E.
! Teague, Sheriff: Reports reach me
i that a so-called army, now. in your
I county, organized at llouston to march
| to Washington, and that for this pur-
; pose they, by force, threats and inti-
mation against the Gulf, Colorado aud
Santa Fe railroad employes, prevent
the moving of trains and are appropri-
ating and using them without tho
consent of the company, and that they
are by such conduct wilfully injuring
such railroad so as to prevent the use
of the same, it also appears to my
satisfaction that neither the said com-
pany nor Its connecting lines took any
part in aiding or abetting the organ-
ized hand, or in bringing them into
Texas, but that they aro made up of
so-called citizens of this state, bent on
a mission of travel by organized force,
overpowering railway employes and
appropriating trains to their own use.
You are therefore hereby directed aud
commanded to protect the property of
the company from the mob, aud to seo
that each member thereof is duly
restricted and held for such prosecu-
tions as may be within a reasonable
time from this date instituted against
them by the oounty attorney. I have
full confidence in your ability to up-
hold the law in the protection of tho
property without aid from the state.
If, however, you should need it, you
shall have it on demand. If organizocl
bands from Texas wish to go to Wash-
ington or elsewhere they must pay
their way, walk, or ride free by con-
sent of the owners of the vehicles used.
J. 8. Hogg, Governor.
Sherrifl" Teague replied as follows :
To His Excellency, Jas. S. Hogg,
Governor of Texas:—Your telegram
received. So far no complaint made.
1 will enforco the law and protect
property. D. E. Teague.
The Banner reporter accompanied
by the Sheriff went out Thursday
night about 0 o'clock and soon found
a squad of the army. They claimed
to have disbanded and are now iu
squads. Some havo gone through,
several squads here, and the old men
had not yet walked in from Bellville.
They claimed to have boeu under
tho command of Capt. Clark before
disbanding, unarmed laboring men
seeking employment. They were in-
formed that a Job awaited them at (be
Quarry, but introduced a long argu-
ment to show that tradesmen could
not stand such work, though some of
tho party had gone oat on the cattle
train bound for| that place. About
half a dozen of tho 50 came from Gal-
veston the remainder from Houston
and claimed to have representees of
ail the different trades in the crowd.
They looked like working men and
talked with average Intelligence but
could give no good reason why they
should endeavor to go to Washington
which they said was their destina-
tion.
The Patent Fire Extlnguither.
Mr. W. H. Curtis, representing the
Parlin & OrendorfCo., of Dallas, Man-
ufacturers of the Clipper Fire Extin-
guisher gave an exhibition of tho ex-
tinguishing power of chemicals with
their machine at the Firemans Park
at 4 o'clock Friday evening.
The ball g.ime was stopped aud
thousands witnessed the test. A small
house was well saturated with live
gallons of kerosene, the house was of
heart pine and burned like tinder
making a tremendous fire which was
allowed to get well under headway
when a small stream was thrown on
from the two-and-a-half gallon can
completely extigulshiug tho house
leaving it In a coal, and that before a
nozzle could have been attached to
hose. It was pronounced by every one
present to have been an admirable
test and a perfect proof of its success.
It is designed to keep in buildings to
prevent fire companies from being
called out and to put out small fires
when they are remote from truck
houses, and is unquestionably a great
invention.

Special to the Banker :
New Orleans, May-18.—New York
opening showed some 3 points decline.
Prices here however, on tlie first call,
were at about yesterday's closing fig-
ures, but gradually strengthened until
a five point advance was recorded.
The close to-day atNew York Is about
the same as yesterday, whereas this
market is 2 to 3 points higher.
There seems to be no stimulating
influence in the market, and aside from
the relative strength of the spots there
is no sustaining power other than the
buying in of contracts by those who
aro short as there is comparatively
little new business one way or the
other, as prices are considered too low
for short sales, and conditions too un-
certain to luvite new buying. An
adjustment of the larlff question either
one way or the other would likely
prove beneficial.,
The amount of cotton brought into
sight this week is 32,000 against 33,000
last year. This would Indicate a rapid
movement flrom iuterior points to con-
suming centers. We are now 828,000
bales ahead of last year's crop. The
extent of this crop is sufficiently well
defined to be of but little importance
whereas the probabilities of the next
will likely exert a potent influence.
Estimated receipts at this port to-
morrow, 800 to 900 bales against 200':
last year. Our spot market closed
quiet at unchauged prices.

an old southern city, years be-
th« war, as an old resident of
that city mentioned to a small coterie
of friends recently, there lived an old
bachelor doctor wlioso placo of abode
was in a part of tlio medical collego
of which he was dean, president and
head center generally.
The old gentleman was well off in
this world's goods, very sociable of
disposition and entertained quite lib-
erally in his apartments, which, not-
withstanding the then grewsome lo-
cality, were spacious and cheerful.
One evening when tho doctor was
giving a supper to a f(*r friends tho
conversation turned upon personal
courage, and the doctor mentioned
with pride tho superabundant quan-
tity of pluck in his old body servant
Cato.
"There's nothing in the world or
out of it that can scare old Cato,'' the
doctor asserted, and ho was willing
to back up this assertion to any ex-
tent whatever with anybody who
would bet on it.
There was among tlie jovial party
around the board ti.at evening an
excellent ventriloquist, and he asked
the doctor if there were any cadavers
in the college.
"Two," said the doetor.
"Well, you send Cajo into the dis-
secting room, and I'll scare him
white," said his friend.
It was agreed, and after dinner for
six had been wagered on tlio experi-
ment the old darky was called in,
and tho doctor said: "Cato, there aro
two bodies in the dissecting room.
Go in there and bring me the head of
one of them."
Cato started on tho mission, and
the ventriloquist stationed himself in
near proximity. A proviso was that
Cato was to have no light, so ho went
into the dark room, walked up to one
of the cadavers and began operations.
"Let go my head," said a voice in
deep, sepulchral tones.
' All right, sur," said Cato. "Reck-
on Marso Doctor ain't 'ticklar, and
'todder gentleman'11 do jits' as well."
Then he left that corpse and began
work on the other.
"Let go my head," greeted him
again in awful tones.
"Kain't do it, marse," said Cato.
"Doctor tole mo ter git one, and I
mus' do it."
A pandemonium of voices, groans,
cries and threats filled tho room, but
Cato persevered, hacked off the head
and started out, when he was assailed
with:
"Bring that head back' Bring that
head back!" iu agonizing cries. But
the old darky didn't flinch. Ho took
tho head to the doctor.
"Here 'tis, Marso Doctor," ho said,
"but please get froo soon, 'cause do
gentleman wants it back, and I'll give
it to him jes' soon's you're froo look-
ing at do bumps."
Cato's reputation for pluck was
firmly established, and the doctor
won tho dinner.-—Washington Post.
A Korean Bath.
M. A. B. do Guerville, the lecturer,
told au amusing story of a happening
during bis stay in Korea while in
that country as a commissioner in
behalf of the United States for a Ko-
rean exhibit at the Chicago fair. Ac-
cording to M. do Guerville, the Ko-
rean women bathe but once a year,
and the occasion is made an annual
festival. They are escorted to the
river with music and an acclaiming
multitude. The funny part of it is
that the year the commissioner was
there the band chanced to be one
that had been aboard a United States
man-of-war, and his astonishment
equaled his amusement to have tho
procession of ladies advance to tho
strains of ' 'Marching Through Geor-
gia."— Nmv York Times.
Officbach was the French Gil-
more. Ho always tried to please
rather than instruct, and of tho 01
operas that bo wrote in less than 25
years only one had the good fortune
to last more than three or four years.
His maxim was, "A grain of wit is
better than a bushel of learning."
Oliver M. Babcock, in a lecture be-
foro tho public school teachers of
Chicago, predicted that beforo 1950
the city would havo a population of
10,000,000, be the capital of the Unit-
ed States, include Waukegau, Elgin,
Aurora and Joliet aud extend to tho

Double or Binary Stars.
All stars appear single to tho naked
eye, but tho uso of the telescopo has
proved that many consist of two o{
moro distinct orbs. When the as-
tronomer Herschel first began to
make a special observation of doublo
stars, only four were known. He in
creased the number to 500, and now
about 7,000 aro catalogued by as-
tronomers. Some have argued that
these stars only appear to be double
because they are on tho same line of
vision, but Iicrschel, after many
years of investigation, was convinced
that in hundreds of cases they ac-
tually revolve around each other,
thus proving beyond a doubt that
there is an actual relationship be-
tween such pairs of orbs.—St. Louis
Republic.
William's Hunting Garb.
When the German emperor goes
hunting, he arrays himself in such
gorgeousness that the game ought to
be proud to fall before so magnificent
a conqueror. His hunting costume
was designed by himself, and he is
said to bo so much taken with it that
ho omits uo opportunity of wearing
it. It consists of a bluish gray tunic,
with a short cloak of the same ma-
terial, both garments having green
facings and broad epaulets. .The
emperor has round his waist a broad
belt of green leather, from which
bangs a huge hunting knife, tho
handle mounted with the imperial
crown of gold. He wears very high
lacquered boots, gold spurs and a Ty-
rolese hat of gray felt, edged with
green and adorned with an enormous
plume of feathers, which quivers at
every step.-- Berlin Correspondent
