SOCIETY.
Indications Of a Dull season in This
City.

tttys
Society IL dull; az yet there Is little
prospect ofthiA season being as brilliant
as last. The s. p. G. club, which was
the main feature in the social world
last winter, seems buried beyond hope
Of resurrection, and the prospect FOR
pleasure to the young society people is
not very promising.
Meeting young lady on the street
this week news gatherer asked her
what was going on In society?
Nothing, absolutely nothing was
the reply. II think / shall die with
ennui unless something turns up to
relieve the monotony." Probably the
young lady exaggerated when she said
nothing" for number Of private en-
tertainments are given each week, but
In the main she was correct, for society
Is exceedingly dull.
The formation Of the "Mistletoen
club Is step towards making the
social world pleasant during the COM
ing winter, and THE GAZETTE hopes
70 see more signs of life in the social
kingdom before cold weather sets in.
These clubs are more or less clannish,
and number Of young people are ex-
oluded from participation in their en-
tertainments, and where moro than
one Is In existence q friendly rivalry
Is bound to spring up between them,
and society Is benefited thereby. The
Thalians have been preparing for a
vigorous campaign and THE GAZETTE
hopes 10 see them installed in a hand
some club house by next season.
Society should wake up; the season
has commenced with but little prepa-
ration for IL In Fort Worth, and there
are only a few months In Texas In
which the weather permits the full
exercise of social festivities.

Russian Railways.
New York Tribune.l

Apparently Russia has not yet given I'D
her long-cherished idea of bridging Persia
with railways and thus making her vassal
stepping-st stone to fresh eastern conquests.
Eleven years ago concession was actually
granted by the shah for the construction of
railway $50 miles in length, from the Per-
sian port of Resht, on the Caspian sea, to the
capital, Teheran, but his majesty subse-
qucntly wriggled out of this agreement with
true Oriental adroitness. Projected lines
from Teheran to Ispahan the ancient
metropolis, and from Ispahan to Shiraz were
similarly negatived. But Russia, persever-
ing as ever, is mixing up with the new de
marka:ion Of frontier between herself and
Persia, the project Of a railroad around the
southwestern corner OF the Caspian. con-
Meeting Resht with the new petroleum fields
at Baku, and with the Russian railway thence
to the Black sea. The shah is said 10 look
on this scheme with anything but favor, but
Russia may be trusted to carry her point
sooner or later, either by bribery, or coercion,
or both together
