GORGEOUS NOttOC PARADE
.King Passed Before Peering Thousands on
Float of Great Magnificence
Wtrro th Mf? KTnr Xottoc Varartp
y VISMC onto SrackUn avenue from Pres-
ton last night with a blare of trumpets
r yotnsitd with the musk of th bands
kod th shouts of th multitude which
lined the streets in keen antlrtpatfon of
'. the scenic treat In 8tor. a spectacle of
-. tndeecrlbable magnificence and Hius-
t ton's finest effort in a No-Tsu-Oh parade
was re veal ed.
Spectacles of former years have Inspired
.the cheertna: of vast concuurses of peo
t and have won for Houston the name
t of being" the finest Carnival city in Amer-
. lea. barring New Orleans have. In fact
. irrown blgfrer and better each succeedtns;
i year since the No-Tsu-Oh has been in ei-
- Ifftenctt. But last night's parade the
i arlitterlruc spectacJe of l0fv. was easily the
- finest in every respect that Houston has
ever turned out and the eheerlns; thou-
. sands aiona; the line of march seemeri
rto appreciate this for continuous yelitng-
sumI clapplna of hands marked the pros
frees of the nejreant.
The uauai difficulty in confining the
crowds to certain limits on street and
rtdewalk was encountered but the offi-
cers labored faithfully and the parade
Went through without a mishap of even
minor nature. While the crowds were
of course greatest on Main street. Travis
XYanklin and a number of the side streets
Held their full quota of struggling hu-
manity. Roof tops windows dry goods
boxes in fact every object that afforded
the slightest advantage over the street or
at dew alk. was secured early in the even-
lng by those who wished to witness the
parade from a point of vantage. The
callery of the Rice hotel was. as usual
lined with a fastidious fashionable audi-
ence and the grand stand erected before
the Thai lan club for the benefit of the
members of that organisation and their
friends was filled to overflowing. The
grand stand erected on Main street be-
tween Capitol and Rusk was also crowded
to the edges the crowd overflowing onto
every side of the struoiure.
For blocks and blocks up and down
Main street and the other thoroughfares
the streets were so thickly lined with
people that it wan with difficulty that
the officers were ahie to clear the way
for the parade The peopie were willing
to withdraw and let it pass but those
in the rear who were leaning against the
buildings found It Impossible to give
aTound and thus the struggling laughing
confetti-throwing mass was Jammed still
closer together until it was difficult even
to breathe.
PARA EE WAS ON TIME.
The parade was exactly on time the
Cheering of the crowd lined up on Pres-
ton avenue from the market house down
a far as Louisiana street anonunclng Its
approach with lusty voices a few min-
ute before K.
The red glare which always accompa-
nies and precedes tl.e pageant was also
tn evidence and when finally the first
band struck up a catchy air the people
farther up the street and along Travis
sxnd on Main crowded in eair anticipa-
tion for the first glimpse of King Nottoc
and his merry men.
On the first car. arrayed in all the
srargeous splendor for which the realm of
Tekram is noted sat King Nottoc. bow-
ing to right and left as his subjects wel-

of a European nation ever received n
more fervid ovation than that arrorded

Inside the Pageant
BY JAMES HAYS Q CARLES.
Those people who enjoy watching a
parade do not know anything about the
fun a fellow has riding In the parade.
T: at Is. certain kinds of parades
or course a parade by. the Barnnm &
Hal ey circus Is an every day affair with
the men who drive the big wagons the
ladies who ride the painted ponies and
the clown who drives the mule. and
nd:ng in the parade is Just routine with
them Just so much work to do and they
are glad when It Is over.
Rut to ride in King N-Mtoc's parade is
different.
It Is a distinction to be Invited to ride
with King Nottoc. and we who were so
favored in this pageant of Nottoc X. real-
ise that we have been conferred an
honor and we hare endeavored to bear
that honor with all the grace that man
can muster. We are hailed with glad ac-
claim by the people who crowd the route
of march and we hail them back and
now and then when through the mask we
recognize some familiar face w shout
the name of the wondering friend who
can not fathom the mystery of the In-
cognito. That ts an added interest and It
gives us a chance to hae fun with those
who lose their opportunity tv have fun
with us. because the art of repartee la
lost In the Immediate effort that 1h made
to see through the mask and the court
costume and discover who It is that la
making sport with frletidlv names
Those who have never joined Kmg
Nottoc" pageant do not know all the
things that happen to those who are of
the retinue. We meet at the den eay
about t 30 o'clock and begin the work
of dressing. Or It might be said that it
is a work of undressing because after
one has discarded the street clothes that
are the accustomed garb of every day
life he puts on some tights throws a
cape over this and really when he starts
out he is less dressed than at any time
of the dav and Just about what he has
on at main hours of the night. There
Is a hurri and bustle. The general superintendent-Marshall
J. Dukes the man of
costumes wigs and masks is monarch In
this costume room in the des. He Is sort-
lnt ut pieces a:id garments is directing
this man t. l..x -16 and another man to

hart been a '.gned. They all carrv boxes
of - andv f. : vi children and those long
strings of i-.red paper which art tech-
nically cal.-i ' wrpentine" but which
have no rea: name on the street. The
parade is t! :i readv to start.

would be greeted bv the anxious and
Inquiring gaze of hundreds and hundreds
who were in the nnrrow confines -f the

they were an attraction to u. and then
we had the added beauty of the lights
that were overhead. We started out with
the string of pretty lights that described
a decoration of the city hall and then

rocket that shot itself burst into myriads
of colored lights and then there was a
blaxe that told of a celebrated Houston
brew. We watched its every appearance
as we approached never losing interest
in It ss long as It was in sight; the col-
ored lights that flashed in ?ront of tha
liins building were an attraction and
from then on we were busy watching
what we could see of building Illumina-
tions. They are all magnificent: all hand-
some; all artistic; but there ts nothing
that surpasses in grandeur the thousands
of lights which Illuminate the Waddell
building.
On Texas avenue we had a chance to
see the parade. The coulter-march gave
a chance to those on each float to see all
the others and we had the pleasure of
seeing the crowd as well as seeing the
parade. w tM 
We were exactly an hour and a naif in

mapped out to us.

BEST OPPORTUNITY.
Display of Art at Main Street and
Preston Avenue.
In the Interest of the tumultuous clang
and clatter and fuss and flurry that have
been granted possession of Houston dur-
ing Carnival week I desire to have a few
sober words -with the sober-minded men
and women of Houston and the Fame
class of friends from over the State who
are within our gates temporarily. 1 do
not mean to be understood as raising any
objection to the revelry and merriment
In whl h the people now In Houston are
Indulging for these conditions seem to be
a necessary part of the No-Tsu-oh and
are right enough aa far aa they go. and
they surely go the limit. But for the
clasa of men and women to whom these
lines are written there Is something bet-
ter for them to do than to give ali their
time and spendlngs to these Irlvolities.
The Houston Art League has manv
things now on exhibition at the corner or
Main and l'r.-ston that are well worlhy
ef the attention and interest of all who
enjoy things of art. And It would be
a reflection upon any man or woman of
refinement t intimate that he or she
had no appreciation for things of art.
The taste for art seems to De a Ood-
lmplanled tssie in the human soul: The
most pninltUe Inhabitants of the earth
have left behn.il them practical evidences
that they pos. ssed a taste for art I'pon
the bone harnlles of their rude Implements
they carved outline of animals with
which they w re acquainted.
The Art l.eH-ue of Houston U com-
posed of the teirn of the womanhood of
Houston. Th.-se noble philanthropic
women rlrhlv deserve the appreciation
and asslstam e f all who love art rr who
desire to ste the children of our day
given an opportunity to develop this God-
given taste that lies dormant In their
young hearts Hence I desire to respect-
fully surges' to all who may read these
lines and who feel an Interest In the up-
lifting of tie- children of today as well
as future Keiorations to drop In at the
corner of Mittn snd Preston and examine
the specimens of art that are uiton ex-
hibition. Th'-se good ladles have many
things thete on salesuch things as are
being bought I.-. the crowds elsewhere In
the city by every man and woman now
walking up n:.. lnwn our streeta And
every penny that these ladles realize upon
these thini; they offer for sale goes to

By patronising them some In what they

RANGER SADDLE
Awaits a Confederate Claimant in
Indianapolis Indiana.
J. JACKSON SENT FOR IT
And if It Isn't His Will Turn It
Over to the Veterans Terry's
Texas Rangers in
Reunion.
A Confederate cavalryman's saddle
made In Burton Texas In the year 1SS1.
lies In Indianapolis. Ind  awaiting the
claim of some Texas veteran. J. Jackson
of Sealy who lost his saddle and equip-
ment In the battle In which Colonel Frank
Terry was killed believes It Is his and
has sent for It "but If 1 find It ain't
mine boys" he said to his comrades of
Terry's Texas Rangers In their thirty-
seventh annual reunion at the Rice hotel
yesterday "I am going to turn It over to
the regiment and let It be kept as a
trophy for all the rangers Certainly It
belonged to one of our regiment."
There were slxty-slx: survivors of the
gallant old regliment present In Houston
yesterday for this annual reunion and
the sessions held morning and afternoon
In the parlors of the Rice hotel were to
these sixty-two gray-headed and age-
scarred Old veterans quite the most in-
teresting affair In the. city of Houston
despite the attractions of the No-Tsu-Oi).
They were not Indifferent to the big cele-
brations however and were nut In full
foroe to see the parade last night occu-
pying seats In the Thallan club's stand
on Main street and Rusk avenue. Today
they will have a brief morning session
convening at 10 o'clock and In the after-
noon they will attend the races.
Next year the veteriiris ol this heroic
regiment will meet in Austin. "I say
let's have a meeting as long as there are
two or three of us left to come together
and talk over the old days'' said one
grlizled and bent "captain" yesterday. It
is ihe joy of seeing the old faces and
talking with the old comrades that brings
them together. The business of the re-
union consists mainly In this.
FROM MANY PARTS.
These veterans gathered from many
parts of the Stute. One came from out
of the State making the trip from Lynn-
vlile. T"nn  to attend this Houston
reunion And besides the Houston veter-
ans there were comrades from Belton
Marltn. Rogers. Georgetown. Dallas

Amusement
Majestio Theater.
The comedy sketch. "His First Home-
coming" which Is being presented by
Mr. Edward Kellle and Miss Sldonne
Dixon at this theater this week abounds
In funny situations and no one can see
the bright little production without be-
ing highly entertained. It Is a travesty
on the old story of the troubles of a
young wife In preparing the first meal
for her husband. It Is a pretty serious
matter to the young married people but
It Is awfully funny to the audience who
are looking at the very natural mis-
takes. Miss Sldonne Dixon In addition to
acting the part naturally and forcibly
possesses a clear and tuneful singing
voice and It seems a pity that she has
not opportunities to do a little more
singing. Mr. Kellle Is a well known
actor and has been a star In various
comedy productions In the big cities. He
and his charming lady partner have a
first class playlet and there Is no doubt
that It will continue to be welcomed on
the vaudeville stage for many seasons
to come.
The other sketch on the bill "The
Country Judge" by Harris Beauregardo
company has not the boisterous fun
which characterizes the offerlngsof Mr.
Kellle and Miss Dixon but Is equally
well appreciated even though the humor
Is of the quiet kind.
Much has been said about the bill run-
ning at the Majestic theater this wsek.
all of a complimentary order and It Is
ths opinion of all that attended the the-
ater this week that the praise was well
merlteeV The feature of this bis; novelty

and Miss Maud Ryan. Their tittering as

has made good all over the country and
during their short time of twenty minutes

less than four swell gowns .that are now
