fort will meet with gratifying re-
suits. This .fivIt should not coniine
i.se to members of the congregation,
or, strictly speaking, Christians; for
surely every man, woman and child is
interested i'll this movement. Every
one who resides in Fort Worth has
an interest in its present and
future, and fine churchers are
needed to attract capital 20 the city.
Fine church buildings are the best or
naments great city can have; they
are sermons in stones, speaking to
strangers who come to our doors, and
they tell of a devotion to the higher
and nobler principles in the life of
man. The GAZETTE hopes to hear
that the movement alluded to has
been entirely successful, and that the
NJ. +. Church, South, will soon be a
handsome, attractive and costly build
ing.
seA social club is needed feature in
society here. The GAZETTE speaks
10 young men hut not alone does it sp.
peal to them for aid and investigate n
of this important question. We in
vite alike all who feel an interest in
the welfare of the "young men" of our
city, the upbuilding of morality, of So
ciety and the Improvement of the
mind, that must be necessitated
by at once establishing this
club. The history of other clubs in
cities of the North and East is proof
enough to convince us of this fact, and
once established, leaders of religion,
of society. politics and morality. will
lend q helping hand, while those of
vice in all its measures and intemper-
ance with its destinations will desert.
| Dung men, we speak to
you who have been allured from a
home of moral training, of loving
motherly advice, of fatherly culture,
| into the snares of immoral usages that
the tender mind is heir to. We
speak TO you who have refrained
from these practices and stand
as beacon lights upon a
shoreless ocean to warn Others
of its danger; in un son
we work. So shall we stand never to
decay, and once in working order this
society shall never die, tor our liberal
merchants will donate to us every
thing we may need in the way of FUR
niture, etc. the ladies will assist the
advice and beuevolence of this "the
great city of the prairies" will be
secured; let's act; not remain idle
while others are up and doing. THE
GAZETTE is ever willing to work to
the city's advancement. 1t has been
our aim TO present nothing to divert
the minds of our readers from any
thing that would make them better
men and women, for we love morality
we praise society and to this end WE
will ever fight.

OUR CITY PUBLIC SCHOOLS
A Constant Growth-SteadY Forward
Movement.

Superintendent Alex Hogg kindly
furnished a GAZETTE reporter with
the following facts and figures from
advance sheets OF his scholastic re-
port:
The schools Were continued through
nine months. Thenumber of teachers
employed are twenty. eight, one-third
more than last year.
The number of pupils present and
absent (active attendsnce) averaged
/ ISL l200l-last year 6S6, or a gain of
one-third.
In the month of February the actual
attendance reached its maximum,
30 pupils. Last year the maximum
was reached also in February, being
l,02D pupils.
These are very significant coin CT
dences and show the value of correct
statistics and statistics that are not
rumbrous.
There have been registered during
the entire nine months, white
pupils AIS, colored pupils 2S2, total
i 100. Many OF these have removed
from the city, some dropped out of
their own accord, and n few were
suspended by the teachers, in accord
en- with the rules.
Ofthe 200 actually in the schools
there is not one that cannot read, there
is not one that cannot write his own
name. So much for the system OF
teaching writing at the same time
with reading. All have exercised
their physical as well as mental power,
the cultivation of the whole mind
and body alike has been the object.
The average cost of tuition incIud.
ing pay of superintendent was pei
session So 60 per month Sl.4O pei
pupil. The highest tuition was 81 6S
per pupil; the lowest 6S cents per pu
pill. mathematician aud attendance
were not under the jurisdiction o
the superintendent. and hence TIL
GAZETTE cannot give this until TIT
secretary and treasurer shall max,
their reports.

op,ra-house next Wednesday night IN
greet the Alton club The Dallss
brass band of fifty pieces will make
lungs very pleasant, and the entire
delegation of visiting and city fire
laddies will he there in full uniform.
An evening of enjoyment may be *
pected.
FRONTING by actual experience. per
maps few suggestions or hints to the
opera house management will not be
out OF place. Bitter were the com.
plants of companies whose members
were compelled to change street for
stage dress; jumping out of warm street
clothes on To cold cement floor is not
pleasant. Travelling actors have a
hard time at best, and if made COM
Portable in town or city they never for
get 1t A board floor in each dressing
room would cost only trifie and all
hands made happy. Then cut out the
street Arab with his nasty cigarette,
perched up in the fly gallery and from
under the performers feet in the en-
frances and you will d. the cor a
great favor.
The Arions, n musical organization
of Fort Worth, have consented to give
grand vocal and instrumental con-
cert at the opera-house Wednesday
evening next. assisted by Mrs. McFali,
Miss Fannie II. Murphy, Miss Mccoy
and Mr.. E. X. Smoot. The club has
been in active rehearsal for months,
and are now ready to give their concert
in an agreeable manner, and give our
citizens an opportunity 10 judge for
themselves of Fort Worth's musical
ability. A programme of rare excel
lence has been prepared and is designed
to suit ali tastes. The entertainment
has been gotten up under the super
vision of MIR. HoelZle, aud will he given
during the stay of the visiting firemen,
for their entertainment, the proceeds
to go towards our own fire department.
Tickets sold rapidly yesterd,y ~, snow
ing our city folks areto be out in force.
Why net? We have the best musical
talent in the state; the recent Chimes
of Normandy demonstrated that fact
fully. Five of its principal soloists,
besides other ladies and gen,lenaen,
cannot fail to do the city proud and
draw full house. Attention is called
to the announcement and names of
participants in another column.

HER FACE WAS SAD.

A maiden fair of beauty rare,
Removed her from the throng;
And wistful gazed NJ on the maze
or youths who passed along,
Great tear-drops glistened In her eyes,
AS molten diamonds CLEAN;
A cloud was on her beauteous face,
Where smiles were wont TO beam.
Wherefore those tears" the scribe inquired
"Why ant thou sad and palec
Hast thou lover false, dear maid.
Conide in me thy tale"
"The cause. will conhie in you,
think you can be trusted:
Don't frown, nor think me very bad,
My hustle string is busted
