the immense trade which comes to Dallas
for many miles and from every direction.
There was time when the "wagon trade

wagon yards were drummed nightly by our
merchants. 1t is still valuable adjunct

Effect Upon Europe OF the Discovery of
America.

Elect Upon Europe OF the Discovery OF
America.
The voyage Of Columbus in 1892
was in many respects the greatest event
which had occurred in the world since
the birth Of Christ Politically and So
cially it was the beginning of an entire
ly new chapter in human history, and
it wrought effects upon mems specula-
tive thinking, which, though perhaps
less conspicuous, were not less real or
remarkable. In much more than the
mere geographical sense was the dis
covery Of New World 1t was the
first in a complicated series of events
which four centuries have not yet fully
rounded into a period; the foundation
Of new Europe in America, in Africa,
in Australia, and in the islands Of the
Pacific; the rise Of the English race
to political and commercial supremacy,
and the advance of the English Ian
guage toward what may become uni
versal dominion; the reorganization of
government upon higher plane than
the Middle Ages had even been able to
lorcshadow; the renovation of society
in the old Europe through countless
subtle influences the permanent tri-
umph Of the industrial over the pre-
datory spirit; the successful assertion
Of individual freedom against the par
alyzing absolutism inherited from the
Roman Empire; the overthrow Of
sacerdotalism, and the Christianiza-
ton Of the world. 1t would probably
be too much TO assert that some of
these desirable results might not have
been attained, so far as the old Europe
is concerned, even if the lands beyond
the sea had never been explored and
colonized. II is unquestionable, how
ever, that the progress would have been
much slower and much more subject to
interruption. The part performed by
for example, in the work of
European civilization since the age Of
Elizabeth has been so immense and so
complicated that no claborateness of
analytic description can do it justice.
Yet England in Elizabeth's time was
hardly first class power, and but for
the colonization of America in the
seventh century it is difficult to see in
what way she would so surely or so
soon have gained the commercial su-
premacy which gave her in the eight !
oenth the dominion of the ocean, and
thus secured her the foremost position
in the world. To those-and there are
many in Amcrica-vho are in the |
habit Of regarding American history
as a dry and uninteresting study, it
may be profitable matter Of rcfec-
ton that since the beginning Of the
seventeenth century it is impossible to
follow intelligently the affairs of the
old Europe through a single genera
ton without constant reference to the
New World.-John Fiskc, in Harpcr's

A German woman named Mrs. Framlett
arrived in the city. Tuesday. She said
that she had been keeping a boarding
house AT section %, on the Texas Il Pacific
railroad On the previous evening two UNI
known men entered her house, and without
ceremony proceeded to put her household
plumber out of doors in careless maner.
She, in broken English, demonstrated
with them, when they told her that they
would give her until o'clock to leave the
country under pain of being severely
dealt with. This frightened her
considerably, but when they I'M

she armed herself with n rolling-pin and

leave before the hour of p. m, it then be-

matter she concluded to obey orders. Ac-

very much excited over the matter, and did
not know why the men wanted her to

4 Generous officer

Captain Sam Farmer, the efficient live
wide-awake city marshal of Fort Worth,
who has made an enviable reputation as an
officer, was in this city yesterday, on mis-
sion of charity which was but in keeping
with the man. He brought over to this
city from Fort Worth poor unfortunate
consumptive invalid in the person of Will
liam Loewn, who is in the last stages Of
consumption, and for whom the good
people of Fort Worth at the instance of
Marshall Farmer had donated 800 to de-
fray his expenses back to Hamburg,
Germany, he himself contributing
as was learned from the invalid, literally
toward defrayng his passage. On arriving
here it was found that the money was not
sufficient to purchase his passage and again
Sam Farmer went down in his pocket and
the invalid, who by his sober and industri-
Gus habits and perseverance at work in i'll
health had won the respect of the officer,
went on his way on the east-bound train
over the Texas q Pacific rejoicing.

Mr.. |. Reinhardt's great clothing estab-

of great magnitude and business house of
which the city of Dallas may Justly feel
proud. Mr.. Reinhardt opened his store for
the first time ON the 9th of October, and
since then has been constantly receiving
and opening goods and now offers to the
public stock of gents, youths and boys
clothing, excelling in beauty, variety and
cheapness any stock ever before exhibited
in north Texas. The system, regularity

ough and complete His announcements,
"One price for ALL" "Money refunded If
goods don't suit, n"Evcry garment warrant

business integrity and desire TO please.
The universal testimony ofMr. Reinhardt's
liberality and fairness from community
in which he lived and did business for near

In bcspeaking for Mr.. Reinhardt bril-

ments expressed by those amongst whom
Mr.. Reinhardt dwelt and did business so

A Youthful Thief

Tom Alexander lad of Ethiopian eXtrac-
ton, while passing fruit stand on the cor
ner Of Main and Lamar streets yesterday
morning, was tempted by the luscious
fruit, and snatching several apples
ran down Lamar street at breakneck
speed. The fruit dealer gave the alarm,
and Policeman Graham gave chase and cap
tured the thief whom he took before Justice
Edwards, but the fruit dealer failed to APP
was discharged, and as he landed
on the sidewalk he turned
hand spring and, turning made face at
the crowd standing on the sidewalk, say
ing, You bet am one of the boys"
Such boys as these need to be prosecuted,
and great many such arrests made by the
police go for naught, simply because the
parties injured fail to appear to prosecute.
