The Pan-American Congress com-
pleted its long excursion last week.
This week it is expected that the
Congress will settle down to the
business for which it was called —
devising some means of increasing,
the trade between the United States
and South and Central America.
Just how that can be done under our
present high protective tariff is not
very plain.

That Mrs. Cleveland has lost none
of the great popularity she enjoyed
when mistress of the White House
was fully demonstrated last week,
when she and her illustrious husband
went to Washington to attend the
marriage of ex-secretary Bayard.
After the marriage Mr. and Mrs.
Cleveland drove to the White HouSe
and Mrs. Cleveland left her card tor
Mrs. Harrisoh, who is out of town,
while her husband went inside and
paid his respects to President Harri-
son. It was a graceful and courte-
ous act on the part ot the Cleve-
ands.
The Superinten Jent of the Census
has made a report of what has so
far been done, and what is to be
done in the future to make the next
census a success. He wants the
printing of the census reports given
out by coutract to private parties in-
steading of being done by the Gov-
ernment Printing office as hereto-
fore. If this can be done without
making the work a political “job,”
it would be very desirable, as it
would take the Government Print-
ing office years to do the work, and
keep up with the constantly increas-
ing current work. If the Reports
cannot be gotten^ouLfaster than they
were after the last census was
taken they had just as well not be
gotten out at all, tor all the use the}’
will be.

TWO NEW DEPARTMENTS.
OUR WASHINGTON
LETTER,
r
Washington, Nov. io, ’£9.
The elections are over and the re-
turns in and the net result is a dem-
ocratic victory along the whole line.
By the election in Ohio we secure a
democratic legislature and a gov-
ernor. The legislature will re-district
the state so that the democrats in the
Fifty-second Congress will have fif-
teen members of congress to the re-
publican six. This change secures
the next House to the democrats.
But when we consider that there are
forty-six districts represented by re-
publicans who are elected by less
than 1000 majority, it can be seen
-thaT we have a chance for a large
majority. The next House will
stand about as follows, democrats,
190; republicans, 140; democratic
majority, 50. The Senate will re-
main republican, for they now stand
democrats 37, republicans 47. The

Reductions of Stock Necessary for Their
Accommodation.
It is feared by some Southern
democrats that the recent republican
defeats will have a tendency to en-
courage the more radical republican
congressmen to pass an obnoxious
federal election law in the hope of
gaimfig enough members ot the
House in the South at the next con-
gressional election to offset those
they are certain to lose elsewhere.
Such a law will never be passed by
the next House. There are a num-
ber of determined democrats in the
House who have pledged themselves
to fillibuster until the expiration of
the Fifty-first Congress, it such
action should become necessary to
prevent the passage of an obnoxious
federal election law.

When a mercantile concern de-
cides to establish a particular de-
partment requiring room tor its
accommodation in premises already
crowded, the only way to do is to
move something to make place for
it. When provision has to be made
for the accommodation ot this de-
partment at a date earlier than would
admit of stock-reduction by regular
sales, the only alternative is to reduce
prices to meet the emergency and
quote figures that will command a
special movement of goods. The
situation stated above is precisely
the one occupied by the Star Store
management to-day and the means
they will employ to effect an adjust-
ment of their ends will be the one
already described. As stated in the
firm's conspicuous announcement
upon our fourth page, two new de-
partments are about to be established
in the building, and in order to
make room for them a grand reduc-
tion sale of clothing at manufactur-
er’s prices will be inaugurated, com-
mencing Monday, Nov. iSth, and
which will embrace a stock aggre-
gating in value $50,000.
Unlike the merchants who, at cer-
tain periods of every year, “retire
from business,” “vacate their prem-
ises” or “close out at cost,'' Messrs.
Waterman, Star & C01, always
mean what they say. They realize
the futility of suciy catch-penny ad-
vertising and never make an an-
nouncement that they cannot realize
to the customer when he calls. In
the present instance the genuineness
of reductions will he apparent in the
prices marked in plain figures upon
all goods. This'is the one great
opportunity of the clothing market
this year and should be embraced
while it is open.
rHqnop in th . *
the Senate is significant.
Illinois and Michigan anjLtbtf state*
west, the republieafisenators will
stand ZQjk/est'ot Ohio and Indiana,
anthfSeast of Illinois and Michigan.
This breaks the autocratic rule of the
East. Of the 29 senators, all are
silver men, so that it is safe to say
that a hill to provide for the free
coinage of silver will pass that body.
The bill introduced at the close of
the last session by Hon. Silas Hare,
will be a law in less than twelve
months unless Ben Harrison vetoes
the satrje. But that will not, and
should hot prevent Judge Hare from
introducing his hill at once, in De-
cember, and push its passage and
then ^et the responsibility of its de-
feat, if it is defeated, rest with a
republican president.
Yesterday, Senator Sawyer, ot the
State of Wisconsin, called to urge
the appointment of ex-Congressman
Guenther, of that state, as consul-
general to Havana. Ben replied
that, in the face of the way that the
German-Americans voted in Iowa
and Ohio, it was in bad taste to
urge Guenther’s claims. Arguments
then followed and Harrison and
Sawyer both got mad and Sawyer.
From our Special Correspondent.
OUR PHILADELPHIA LETTER.
Philadelphia. Nov., 11, ’Sq,
The latest storm signs in the com
mercial sky are not that there is
going to be a collapse or depression
in business, followed by low prices,
starvation, and so on, but that there
is likely to be a dangerous advance
in prices, stimulating production,
and creating a speculative movement
in many directions. Benner, the
Ohio prophet, has predicted high
prices and booming times for 1S90.
Everything points that way. All
reports this week from railroads
show traffic is on the increase. Jay
Gould says business will improve,
and that he is holding on to all his
stocks, with the idea that they will
advance in value. The Trusts are
in rough seas, and the mariners are
scared at the squally weather all
around them. The Cotton Seed Oil
Trust has cost over halt a million
within a short time, trying to sustain
prices. The Sugar Trust is in need
of repairs, and several others see
danger coming.
The Northwestern railroad mana-
gers, it is given out, are all getting
ready to advance rates, and they
will do so. Nearly all the railroad
companies are preparing to spend a
great deal of money, and this will
help to boom business. The car
builders are booking large orders.
The business world is strong intaith.
Everybody is buying, trying to
gather stocks. For years past not
one in twenty dared to accumulate
stocks; now, all is changed. The
activity in the little shops and mills,
where ten to one hundred hands are
engaged, is greater than for years.
In the cotton and woolen goods mills
of New England work is crowding.
The carpet mills of Philadelphia are
oversold, and more carpet is being
turned out every day than at any
previous time since the industry was
established. Hat and cap makers
are tar behind in their orders. The
. clothing manufacturers in Philadel-
phia and New York say they have
not had as good business for many
years. The manufacturers of hosiery
and knit goods at Philadelphia, Co-
hoes, Amsterdam, Little Falls and
other hosiery centres, are all busy,-
many of them on orders for- next
spring. The New England boot
and shoe makers are hurrying up
work on late winter and spring
ggpds. Jewelry manufacturers are
so crowded with work that foreign
workmen have been invited to this
side. These are but samples of the
general activity.
The bankers and money lenders
know that if business keeps on ex-
panding, money will become scarce,
and tne rates of interest high:
already this anticipation is showing
itself in the opinions expressed. The
prosperitjr'ol the country largely de-
inflation of bank loans. The “Silver
Party” in the West has been con-
ferring, through its leaders at Den-
ver, San Francisco, St. Louis and
other points, with a view of united
and aggressive congressional action
this winter.
It is estimated that the railways of
the United States need 100,000 ad-
ditional cars. As each car takes
thirty tons of iron, this means a de-
mand for 3,000,000 tons ot iron.
This will give a great rush of work
at the bar iron nulls. The iron trade

sTRKKTt OF XIW YORK.
In the plav, Streets ot New York,
j which, with W. C. Donaldson as chief
j malefactor, essayed to entertain a small
house at the NIcDnugall Monday night,
critical expectation was in no sense dis-
appointed. The posters upon the walls
and the lithographs in the windows fore-
shadowed the charac'er of the piece with
a fidelity quite wonderful, and those who
attended the pertormance, expecting to 1 ,l| eNe in7he »oi'id
see anything ditterent trom what waa there
enacted, had only their own want ot per-
ception to blame. Measured by .tnv tea-
sonably exacting dramatic standard.
Street* of New York haa more fault* than
we have apace to draw attention toi It ia
looae and rambling in conatruction,
turgid in incident and, in epiaode and
situation, aa implacable, not to sav
absurd, aa it ia generally given to thia
kind ot ao-called realistic drama to be. A
swaggering adventurer marches into the
parlors ot a Fifth Avenue mansion in his
shirt sleeves, and slapping the wealthy
banker, who owns it, upon the back ad-
dresses him as "Old Gid.” Throw* him-
self upon an elegant fautmil, places his
feet up among the plush cushions, insults
the banker's daughter, takes a turn at
clowning with the male seivant, and
winds up by getting uproariously drunk
on the banker’s wine and piling every-
thing in the parlor on top of the police-
ma:i who comes to arrest him. Of course
this adventurer has a secret, and a
damaging document which the banker
(who is about as wicked and unprincipled
as they make ’em) “must and shall” pos-
sess. Of course he don't get it, and of
course it turns up in the last act to floor
him, but the manner in which it pro-
crastinates in doing this is just a trifle
trying. Seven acts ot rank and coarse
fibred sensation are employed to bring
about a denuumenl that there is no ex-
cuse for detering be\ond the third act,
and which, when reached, is as cheap
and conventional as the interminable
series of incidents which lead up to it.
The piece is charged with the direst kind
of poverty and wretchedness, and rags
and starv ation are necessary| adjuncts of
nearly every scene. In this connection
we have, of course, the young woman
who tears the sleeves out of her dress and
unfastens it at the collar, in order to be
comfortable while she loiters about the
streets in a January snow storm. Also
the young man who cannot get work,
and who lasts three days, without looking
any the woise for it, and who whines
about his misery in a tone of voice, which
makes the auditor regret that his condi-
tion is not real, instead of being merely
assumed. Then there are scenes wherein
poor, but good-hearted people, invite the
fallen ones to dinner, and all sit down to
a sumptuous repast of bread, and pretend
to drink lrom cups which everybody can
see are empty, and a precocious youth
fills his mouth too full and thiows wads
of bread at his father, and the old man
gets an ostensible hot pie in his lap and
general round of intentional mishaps
see her get away from the hideous past
and triumph in the love that ha* redeemed
her, and how, when the inexorable ha*
prevailed and we see her lying litelesa in
her lover’s arms, we shed a tear or two at
the sadness ot her tate and try to console
ourselves with the reflection that it isn’t
true. But it is true, alas, and that is why
Camille, despite the disapproval ot our
lavender-loving aesthetics, continues to
live. Lena Dcspard is introduced to u*
as a careless immoral woman Motives
of cupidity, stimulated by the importuni-
ties of her blackmailing ex-paramour,
cause her to under’ake the breaking on
of a match, between a man of noble aims
and -entiments and a lady ot good family
and honorable ruputation, her o'iect be-
ing that ot winning the man (or rather
his fortune) for herself. She succeed* in
her guilty enterprise, only however to
find, ere it has halt-attained accomplish-
ment, that the man it dearer to her In-
finitely than hi* nvorvei, or indeed, than
Then it is that her
past confronts her, and, tor the first time,
she feels how odious she has been.
Imagination, with roseate colors, paints
beautiful pictures ot happiness and love,
but every background is black with the
clouds ot memory, and every perspective
darkened and obscured by the intercept-
ing lines of fear and apprehension Than
a wayward woman's struggle to reform
life presents no more touching spectacle,
and in all the pagejess history of defeat
her failure is the most lamentable. The
agony ot Lena D-tpard't final hour is a
moral lesson, more potent than sermons
inculcate, for it holds up to trailty and
folly a looking glass, in which its image
and destiny are reflected, and on whose
polished lace, in characters of fire, is
written ’’expiation.” It such were possi-
ble, Miss Lewis impersonation of this
powerful role would demand a heighten-
ing ol the colors of praise in which we
painted it last season This gifted artiste
developes with experience, and comes to
us this vear larger in every artistic essen-
tial. Her voice has improved in round-
ness and mellowness, her ges-ure In sub-
dued work is more flexile, she has devel-
oped a greater degree of magnetism, and
in repose her method is more mature and
expansive. There never was anything
the matter with her force. She has Im-
pact like a cannon shot, and momentum
that sweeps down everything in its path,
criticism included. She has wrought
upon and developed her two ot three
essentially strong scenes until their power
is simply electrical, and to any audience
with a capacity to feel simply Irresistible.
In the stormiest scene she is its dominat-
ing figure, and amid a company of power-
ful actors she remstins, at all ’ times, the
throbbing locus of the play. Ot the sup
porting company we cannot, in our
space, sav quite enough in praise. It
was more like a Daley or a Palmer com-
pany than we have yet seen with a star
combination, and gave a pertormance in
which trained co-operation, under the
most efficient stage direction, were the
prime factors. W. A. Whitecar was an
unimpeachable Algernon Balfour, and in
the great scenes ot the second, third and
fourth acts, was a worthy participator in
the honors reaped by the distinguished
star. W. S. St. Clair's Capt. Jack F'ortln-
hras was a thoroughly artistic realization
of that urbane, yet sinister role. His work
at the end of the third act gave proof
of a dramatic power which added the last
essential to hi* treatment ot the charac-
ter. J. S. Bristor was a capital Sir
Thomas, and Mart E. Heisev was all that
could have been desired as Dromiroft,
the Russian Minister of Police. Miss
Mary Lawman was a felicituous and ex-
cellent Felicia, and the other parts, which
are unimportant, were in capable hands.
Manager Marston is playing this season
not only one of the greatest emotional
actresses of the age, but a supporting
company to correspond, and he is making
money. How is it with the managers

AS IN A LOOKING GLASS.
A large and friendly though discrimi-
nating audience assembled at the Me-
Dougall Opera House Wednesday nigbt j
to do honor to the appearance of one of j
Denison's most eminent histronic favor- i
ites, Miss Lillian Lewis. Mr. Lawrence j
Marston’s dramatization of As In A Look- |
ing Glass which, on this occasion, was j
presented for the second time in this city J
has been reviewed at length in these |
columns but mav be noticed again briefly
in passing without anv apologetic pretace.
In F'. C. Philips’ fascinating book the
dramatist found a vital story, strongly j
outlined and cleverly contrasted charac- 1
ters, the opportunity tor intensely wrought
climaxes and an atmosphere ot human in-
terest that was intense and absorbing.
He found, in a word, the elements ot a
moving and enduring play and upon them
laid the hand ot theatric experience and :
adaptive skill, transferring them to the
s'age with an integrity of outline and in-
genuity ot development that was almost
Sardouesque in its deftness. Concerning
the central figure of this play much has
been said in discussion. Lena Despard,
like Camille, has been obfected to because
she was an adventuress and almost a
I courtesan, but in what storehouse of pain
' and passion will be found the dramatic
possibilities that cluster around such a
1 subject, or the pathetic interest which its
j dispairing contrition supplies. Above all
the human pangs and emotions that elicit
i sympathy, commend us to a noble repent-
ance tor a compassionate thrill. How in-
I stinctively our hearts go out to Camille
when we see that she is wanting to do
right! How we feel like removing the
i obstacles in her path and helping ner up
j he rugged way! How we would like to
im-
personation no one will hesitate to be- ;
lieve who ha* seen her in other exacting j
roles. On Tuesday night Othello will be
the bill, with Mr. Macl.e*n in the title |
role and Miss Prescott in the powertul
male part of lago. It seems on first
thought a rather novel, not to sav pre-
sumptious, un lertaking tor a woman to
essav so exacting a male part, hut it the
finished declamation, the artistic grip
and introspection which have made
Mr. Booth’s lago the greatest that we I
have—if these histrionic vitalities have j
not lost their power to achieve, “Honest j
lago” should find in Miss Prescott a
worthy impersonator. We have not seen
Mr. MacLean’s Othello but exp-ct much
ot it. In a physical »ense Shakespeare’s
elemental ruffian could have no grander
prototype and those who have marked the
untamed turbulence ot his lgnomar, the
upflashing vehemence and dogged malig-
nity of his Shytock and the massive
grandeur and sonority of hit Yirginius
will not have to stimulate their imagina-
his satisfactory
Bv this time the
people ought to be tragedy hungry and
1 we hope they are for the least will then
I be the more timelv and the mo't keenly
I relished. That good digestion will wait
on appetite and generous artistic provi-
sion on both the Gazettekk doc* not
doubt. We hope to sec ies* vacant seats
I in the McDougall opera house next Mon-
| dav and Tuesday nights than have been
1 seen there this season.
The present tour of the McLean-Ptes- |
cott legitmate organization will be thtir
last through Texas for several years. Next J
season thev plav only the larger cities of j
the East, and the year following they go 1
to Australia. Those who wish to see the
greatest double star combination that is
traveling in the classic drama, should not
tail to visit the opera house next Monday
and Tuesday nights.
Me Lean-Prescott at the opera house
Monday and Tuesday nights, will present
The Winter Tale tor opening bill and
Othello second night. This is the last
opportunity in severs! year* that Denison-
ians will have the pleasure ot seeing the
greatest of Southern legitimate star*.

struct a “Y” with the railroad was read,
but as it was notsigned bv any officer ot

The report of the ordinance commit-
tee, favoring the granting to A. W.
Acheson and associate* of a franchise to
construct a street railway upon the streets
of Denison, was received, but on motion,
action upon the ordinance was deferred
till next meeting. The committee*
port makes it conditional that the work
ot construction shall be begun within
sixty days, and the road be completed
between Houston and Perry avenue* with-
in ninety days
The trust and awning ordinances were
each taken up, and received their second
reading, and both were laid over to next
meeting.
The stock ordinance, prohibiting the
running of cattle at large within the city
limits, was taken up, and after receiving
its first reading was laid over.
The ordinance extending the fire iimita
was given a|first reading, and was referred
to the ordinance committee. The ordl-
ranee prohibiting the sate of goods upon
the streets, was given similar treatment.
The finance committee reported agairst
the purchase of a large sate for the city
secretary’* books, but after some discuss-
| ion it was moved by Carter that the !
j sate be purchased. The motion was
j defeated.
The city secretary was Instructed to
notify the city engineer to file at once
I record ot all street grades recently estab-
lished.
On motion ot Carter, the street and

—» A Narrow Escape. n
During the fire of Thursday an sect-
| dent happened at the fire hall which
came very near costing Capt. A- B Bale*
hU life, A large reel on which was
wound several hundred feet of extra hose
was suspended from the ceiling by hook*
and a conple of firemen, seizing one
end of It started to unwind It- ,Th( rapid
I ity of its revolution* caused one end of
I the reel to leap trom lla hook, when It
I fell to the floor with great force, the
I pivotal pin in tht end being driven ion-
1 pletclv thsough the floor. Capt Bales
was standing directlv under the reel at
I the time snd received a glancing lick on
I the right shoulder from ft a* it fell. The
I centre pin made a big rent in the aleeve
of hi* coat before it buried itself in the
floor at his ieet. Had the Captain been
standing a lew Inches further Io the east
It would have buried Itself fn hi* ample
body. As it was, no serious damage was
done, and the GazarTEKB is glad to have
nothing more lamentable to record than
a narrow escape.
