Among the many exchenges of the
Democrat is to be seen the sterling
evening journal of the Crescent City,
The Daily States. It is replete
with the city news and busi-
ness affairs, and in tills paper, the
Democrat, is proud to see that ilself is
scanned over and credited for Fort
Worth news. Among the readers of this
journal are many old river men
who are delighted and happy to learn
that Capt. James Kerr, Jr., is back at
his business as river reporter of the
"States." Capt. Kerr is certainly one of
the oldest and one of the best steamboat
clerks and river reporters extant. The
Democrat wishes the "States" and her
corps good luck.
Sanner's saloon, on Second street be-
tween Main and Houston, Is probably
the nobbiest and most elegantly gotten
up of any similar establishment in
North Texas. The fresco papering is of
the most gorgeous, elaborate and costly
Eatterns, the chandeliers brilliant and
eautifui. the bar and all furnishing of
black walnut and ash, the screens and
wine rooms tastefully ornate and at-
tractive, while the mirrors are absolute-
ly superb, and the furniture in keeping
with the general effect. Take it all in
all, the Sanner Is a veritable grotto of
neatness and beauty—new, fresh and fe-
licitous. Thu stock of wines and liquors
are of the very best brands, and not hing
below five summers' grade has been
purchased. Mr. Sanner has exerted his
energy to establish a tirst-class saloon,
and has spared neither pains nor money
nor skill in his effort to excel. To-night
he invites his friends to h grand open-
ing. and will demonstrate the truth of
all"he says in this notice. *
SPORTING MATTERS.

Tuesday evening's "mill" is the chief
topic of conversation in sporting circles.
It is said that Jake Johnson'ls nego-
tiating for the gaming privileges in Rin-
tleman's new building, corner of Hous-
ton and Fourth streets.

A colored base ball club is being or-
ganized.
A man named Sweeney will entei a

The "Favorite."
There is no sneezing at the fact that
C'lirls. Rintletnan's saloon is what its
name implies—the favorite of nearly
all who enjoy an occasional drink of
good beer, pure wine, or line liquor of
any name. His cigars are of the best
brands. Chris, dispenses only the best,
and has had the necessary experience in
his business to enable him to please all
classes of customers. If you are weary,
tired out and burdened with the cared
and toils of the day, drop into the Fa-
forite and you will find such entertain-
ment as wfll enable you to go forth with
rejuvenated frame, renewed energy and
determination in the "rustle" necessary
for all to make in this bustling worid. lm

Six Bounds for Two Hundred DoUnri-
Both Ken Beversly Punished—
Scene of the X'iirht.
For more than two weeks past certain
circles in the Third ward •have been on
the qui viveforan impending contest.
.John Kearney is a son of the Green Isle,
and Bob Grey is a thoroughbied Johnny
Bull. They met in the Favorite saloon,
on the lower end of Jialn street two
weeks ago lust Sunday, and engaged in
a discussion concerning English rule in
Ireland. Of course they took different
views of the question, and hot words
ensued. Kearney invited Grey to take
oil his coat and settle the mutter there
and then. Grev was willing, but Dick
Flunlgan, the bland and rotund presid-
ing genius, interfered and gave tuem to
understand that his saloon could
not be converted into a fighting rink.
Dick further advised them to take a
walk out in the country and settle their
differences like men, and not to pummel
each other around the sidewalks and
gutters of the city like a pair of ruffians.
An enthusiastic Englishman present
spoke up and said lie would back Grey
for $23, to fight Kearney at any point
not more than" ten miles from Fort
Worth. Jimmy C'regan, a "broth of a
boy," from Tlpperury, took Grey's
friend at his word, and said he would
put up the money in two hours. Dick
Fiannigan was chosen siuke-holder. Ar-
ticles of agreement were drafted by Mr.
Flannigan, Marquis of Queenshnry rules
were adopted, the ground selected about
five miles from the city,- in a re-
tired nook between the trucks
oft lie Missouri Pacific and G ulf,Colorado
& SantaFe railroads. The fight was set to
lake place one week ago last Sunday,
but Grey was suffering from a severe
cold ana the tight was put oil for one
week. Last Sunday Grey was detained
by business and could not put in an ap-
pearance, but his excuse was satisfac-
tory to the Other side, and final arrange-
nieiitu were made for a meeting at 3i30
yesterday afternoon.
Promptly at. that hour all hands wore
on the ground, including about twenty-
five or thirty spectators. Grey was
seconded* by Jim Winters, and .Jerry
O'Sulllvan acted as squire for Kearney.
Con Mooney was chosen umpire for
Kearney and Bill Harmon for Grey.
George Scoviil was chosen referee.
'1 hey were not long in getting to busi-
ness, and the first round got through in
quick time. Superior science was ex-
hibited bv Grey, but he wus unable
to withstand the rushes
of Kearney,to avoid which he went down-
several tiiues. Kearney got in the first
good blow and also got first blood. At
the end of the fifth round both men
were badly punished. In the sixth
round Grey was rather slow about com-
ing to the scratch, but when lie did toe
the mark he made a reach for Kearney's
ribs, but he was met by a heavy left-
hander from the latter, which brought
him to the ground, and on the call of time
for the seventh round. Grey was unable
to come to the scratch, anu the referee
declared Kearney the winner.
The friends of the defeated warrior
are very sour at the result, and promise
to provide a man at no distant day that
can whip the champion. The money
was turned over to the winner last night
and high revel prevailed for several
Hours. It Is said that about $200 changed
hands on the outside. •
AMUSEMENTS.
The "Creole" was witnessed by a full
house nt Deutscher Verein Hail lust
night, As is generally known, the
"Creole" is an adaptation of the old
drama "La Article 47." It would be dif-
ficult to bee where the adaptation or
change come in. The dialogue is a
little changed, also the names of a few
of the characters, but the main inci-
dents of the drama nre still in their pris-
tine purity. Mies Spencer is very
poorly supported, ami the stage of
Deutscher Verein Hall is entirely inad-
equate for the production of a drama, in
which splendor and luxuriousness is so
necessary to success. Miss Spencer, as
Cora, at times rose to the grandeur of
high histrionic art, and again would fail
to the level of ranting mediocrity and
novitiate crudeness. But when she rose
high there was nogainsaying her genius.
If she is not now a mutchless actress
the time will come when she will
be a peeress of the stage. Cora is a
difficult character for a tender young
girl to personate. She will never havo
the sympathy of her own sex, and no
matter how great may bo her powers,
how grand her passion, how tender her
appeals, how bitter her proaches. the
artiste will be. lost in the wanton, and
stage ability falls flat and.unprolitablc.
Miss Spencer has all the powers neces-
sary to greatness. Her figure is lithe
and graceful, her eyes capable of
as many passions as Byrona, her
voice lis stormy as a mad house
shriek, or as tender as a nursery maid.
Like all young actresses, she is too
stagey, and wanders front the straight
path to create stage eftect But these
are the little inconsiderate trifles of her
acting, while the great powers behind
are on great occasions brought into full
play, ller chief powers are in lier pas-
sion. In tlv? third act, while oscillating
between love and hate, she rose to the
full height of emotional drama.
But 6hc had a hard audience
to contend with. She could
not wring a sigh of sympathy from one
of her own sex, nor tlie hearty encour-
agement of applause from the three
hundred men present, such is the "rari-
ty of Christian charity under the sun."
Cora was a wanton, und it would be a
base crime for a woman to sympathize
with her sinful sufterings. They could
not think that the artiste was merely
acting. She had an unpopular part and
should suffer In consequence. On the
other hand, * when "Mme. Dubamel"
entered, assumed a gawky attitude, and
gave expression to a popular sentiment
in a drawling tone, she was cheered to
the echo. But 'twas ever thus. The
popular catch words will be recognized
and cheered, und the conscientious ar-
tiste who has to wrestle with an unpop-
ular part, will receive the cold charity
of silence. This, perhaps, is the great-
est compliment that could be paid to
the charming young actress last even-
ing. So thoroughly did she blend her-
self with the character she was render-
ing, that the audience often failed to
recognize the difference. Mr. Egbert
was a poor success as "Duhamel." and
Miss Spencer had to bear the brunt of the
battle alone. The other parts were also
p6orly taken with the exception of
"Mazllier which was fairly rendered by
Mr. Defennon.
The Katie Putnam troupe will be here
on Monday and Tuesdav evening next;
This troupe is so well known that it
scarcely needs any Introduction. The
Cincinnati Enquirer says:
Last evening was Miss Putnam's ben-
efit. and the nuople showed their appre-
ciation of the excellent acting of this
gifted lady, by giving her a bumper
house. The piece played was Lena, a
serio-comic drama in five acts, well
hinted to display Miss Putnam's won-1
derful vivacity undsprightiy wit. as well
as her capacity to display the finer emo-
tions of the heart. 'lh Impression she
produced last evening was profound, and
unqualified praise was on the lips of ev-
eryone who saw her. Lena i a won-
derful little rouip, yet full of resolution
und tender feeling. There is u cruel
uncle who wants ro marry her to a man
she hates, and wiio drives away the
man she loves; but such diabolical plots
never succeed on the stage, and every-
thing comes right in'the end for the
vivacious Lena, who in the person of
Miss Putmaii went through every change
li'om grave to gay, in a manner which
showed her great capacity to delimate
the motft varied shades "of character.
The applause which she received was
of the most hearty character, and she
was called out after every act, and at
the close of the play. One pleasing
feature of her performance was the
pretty little songs with which she in-
terspersed it, the oilginal song and
dance, composed by herself, entitled
"Cupid's Garlands," being especially
admired. The support she received
from tlio company was Very good.
CRACKSMEN ABROAD.
Darlnar Attempt to Craclc a Sale at Hand-
itfy.
A daring attempt was made on Mon-
day night to rob Mr. Ferguson's safe at
Hundley. As is generally known, Mr.
Ferguson is the proprietor of an exten-
sive mercantile establishment, and it is
more than likely that thieves came to
the conclusion that il they could tan his
safe they would make an "excellent hau'.
The attempt was made Monday night
between eleven and twelve o'clock. The
store was forced open and a couple of
trucks brought from the depot platform
by means of which the safe was re-
moved to the street. A couple of
holes were drilled, powder inserted and
the outer door blown open. They next
proceeded, by the aid of a cold chisel
and a piece of Iron, to force open the in-
ner door, and were on the point of suc-
ceeding when Dr. Isaacs, who had been
out late visiting a patient, happened
along and scared them off. There
were two of them engaged
in the. enterprise. They had built a lire
near the Scene of their operations and
were seemingly taking it easy. The
doctor thought they were campers, but
when thev run awuy he became sns-
ricious altd proceeded to investigate,
le immediately notified Mr. Ferguson of
his discovery, and the entire population
of the little hamlet were soon awake.
There were three or four trunks on the
depot platform awaiting to be trans-
ported on the morning train, and these
were broken open, contents rifled and
many valuable articles of clothing
stolen. It is more than probable that
the two thieves completed this job be-
fore tackling the safe. There was $500 in
cash in the safe, which would
be 1n the hands of the robbers if their
operations were not disturbed for one
minute more. Sheriff Maddox was no-
tified to-day, but there is no clue to the
thieves.

So much has been suid and writ-
ton lately regarding Jewish aggres-
sion; not only in countries like Ger-
many und llussia, where regular anti-
Sonntic societies and movements ex-
ist, but here, where all peoplo and
religions are supposed to enjoy the
same rights and privileges that a very
exaggerated and erroneous idea has
become current as to tho number of
ftnf JetVs in existence. * We were
told in a late article in tho New York
bun, for instance, that the Jews were
Souring into the south in such nuni-
ers as fo threaten to capturo tho
country, ilow absurd is such talk
shown" when we take into con-
sideration the small number of Jews
in Europe. The following statistics
