can do q weeks washing in the morn
ing before going 70 school, " in the

6. You can wash the finest kind
VI goods or ladies' apparel Of any de-
scription, in perfect safety and with

I. You car wash carpet quicker

8. The machines will pay for

work, and especially in the short
time required for doing a washing.
The Deveaux Washing Machines
are made strong and durable and
last for years, if properly taken care
Of, with but little, if any, expense.
They are wrrrantel one year with
no expense for repairs, arid also to
give satisfaction. Any person pur-
chasing a Deveaux machine, after
giving it q fair trial from four to six
weeks according to the directions,
which viii be given, they can return
the same if they choose so to do,
and il paid for, the money will be

HOLSTERS don't propose to have any

Gifted thereby, il they will avail

Intelligent and wide awake peo-

farmer will try a new sulky plow, q
new mower, or a new Tiger hay rake.
A wide-awakc lady and housekeep-

especially when such inventions and

Aldennan HUGHES.

At the council meeting last Tuesday
Alderman Hughes, chairman Of the
public building committee, stated that
although he had as chairman Of the
building committee, signed the con-
tract, which will be a landmark IN the
history Of municlpal legislation for
Fort Worth, che had left the details
and stipulatlons Of the document en-
tirely In the hands Of Capt, Alexander,
who was n member Of the committee,
and in whom he had great faith as to
his honor,n etc, etc, etc. No one Is
discussing any alderman's honor; the
question with the people Ia this; Was
that contract one that should have
been made, aud does Alderman Hughes
approve OF lt2 To Judge from his re-
marks, as reported yesterday, he
wishes 10 disclaim all responsibility
for the specifications of the contract
But would Alderman Hughes sign a
contract for himself II the speciiicR-
lions were unknown to himg and
ought lie 10 do for the city Whist he
would not do for himself? Indeed,
ought not man who accepts trust 10
be even more scrutinous Of all that AZ
fects it, than he is Of his own affairs :
But then, as "a memberof the claims
committee, Alderman Hughes APP
proved the account, which was based
on the contract. Then was the time
20 make amends for pre-
vious neglect, II he did not
approve the contract as well as the ac-
count which demanded payment "as
specifcd ia coHtract.n But then, also,
Alderman Hughes in council voted to
allow the account, aud must, therefore
approve the contract upon which The
account was based The people Of this
city do not want financial legislation
Of this kind, and the resignation Of
Alderman Hughes and all who APP
prove this contract would not drape
the city IN mourning,

In is surprising What poison and
bitterness can be iustilled into life by
circumstances which occur at u time
when the heart and mind are most
susceptible. j. IL, Bailey, the drum
mer, philosopher and political econo-
mist, devoted the greater part OF his
wonderful publications to the abuse
and ridlcule OF the Christian religion.
The cause was this; Bailey's father
was at one time quite wealthy, and
when he died left a snug sum to his
widow The widow married a clergy
man who soon made away with what
remained OF the estate, and this inn

boy once read In school composition

founding abatement that bent pins had

The teacher called him to order, and
asked how that could be. The small
boy said by not swallewing them"
1t is In the same way that we tax-pay-
era save 70 per cent by paying in No

der mli opportunity to be heard, THE
GAZETTE sent a representative to
interview him on this subject,
and his remarks appear else
where In this issue. He relterates the
claim that the contract is a good one
and only fair 10 the contractors be.
cause Of the depreciation in city scrip
He said before the council yesterday
that the work was done at cash price;
that is, we understand, that N the
work had been paid for on completion
Of It, s2Ol7 would have been all that
the city had to pay and all that the
contractors demanded for the work
with our per cent. sliding scale con
tracts, contractors ought all to be aux-
ious to wait az many months as possi-
BILE. He also says that the committee
were given plenary power. Then,
II Fort Worth is so poor and
has such low credit rs TO be compelled;
to pay 8 per cent. monthly interest Tor
forfeit, the name matters nothing), 1t
is too poor TO have made the improve
ments Mt this time. Alderman Alex
ander seems TO have acted on the pre-
sumption that the best way to meet the
eity's deprecated credit was to add to
the bills payable at the rate Of per
cent. monthly, II may be a good con-
tract, but the people don'tsee it in that
light.
