| That the city is now overrun with n
lawless and desperate class of men
there is no denying. This is the le
climate result of the closing of the
gambling houses in Dallas and other
neighboring towns. In many in
stances these men will do ANYTHING
rather than work, and while at this
season business is good i'm their line.
when summer comes and the "sucker''
returns to his farm or his flocks, they
will be put TO their wits end to make
living. Then they will begin sys-
tenn OF robbery, and citizen will not
be safe on the public highway after
nightfall. Honest gamblers complain
of the presence Of this rough element,
and would gladly see the city rid of
them. They know such men are a
drawback to their business. Let the
authorities rid Fort Worth of all this
class, and then will be the time Ia
listen To complaints against houses
run on the square. Though | person.
ally know nothing of their existence,
| am told by a reputable man that In
the third ward are houses whose pro-
prietors are rarely arrested, where
men are daily ileeced like lambs. This
class of houses and their inmates
should be compelled TO go, and go
quickly.
Every now and then some local
scribe hobs up serenely and puts in
petition for fallen women To he al
lowed seats in the opera house. 1t
strikes me good deal more has been
said on the subject already than ii
merits. The women are not denied
at matinees, and with this |
should be and are no doubt content.
These creatures rs a rule are such that |
they are not deprived otmuch pleasure |
by being shut ont from elevated and
eI tertainments,

Invitations are out for a grand ball
10 be given at the El Paso hotel by the
railway conductors association, and
will no doubt be one of the pleasantest
Of the winters amusements. The jolly
knights of the rope and punch know
no to do the agreeable in its fullest
sense and are never SO gallant rs when
inspired by smiles Of fair women and
strains OF sweet music. Both Will be
at the ball, and happy is he who holds
an invitation.
The S. p. CTS give another of their
recherche socials at the Germania hall
next Friday evening Those fortu-
nate enough to receive invitations will
be on the qui pipe until the event. IL
has already grown to be the thing in
Fort Worth society To receive invita-
tons to attend an ). p. G, soTeo.
