AMUSE MEN rs.

st. Paul's Fdrr,c6H to the Boston Ideals.
The past week has witnessed memorable
event in dramatic and musical circles Of st.
Paul, marking, as it did, the farewell per-
Torrance of the Boston Ideal Opera COM
pany, an organization which has been the
delight and pleasure of the music loving
residents of this city for 10, these many
seasons.
With each recurring season the advent of
the Boston ideals in st. Paul has been looked
forward to with degree of pleasure scarcely
accorded TO any other organization, and In
view of the popularity of the company and
the almost personal friendly and cordial
relations it was to be expected that their
farewell engagement would not be
permitted to pass by without some special
mark of appreciation or favor. The company
appeared at the Grand on Monday night and
their engagement closed wednesday even
ing in a perfect halo of glory. The opera
selected for the closing performance was
Pinafore, which was almost sung and acted
to death several seasons ago, but in spite OF
this, the audience which assembled at the
Grand, was the largest and most fashionable
ever seen in this city. The attendance was
in the nature OF an ovation to the company,
the members of which could not have desired
more fattering and enthusiastic reception
for parting bumper. In looking at the
triumphs achieved By the Boston Ideals and
the many laurels t.ey have won in this city,
it is with feelings OF fondest regret that they
must be contem plated as among the bright
remembrarces of the past. They leave be-
hind them, as lasting heritage. fadeless
and fragrant chaplet of the choicest buds,
which will blossom on tine brow OF memory
long after the songs they have so sweetly
sung shall have been forgotten.

The Fontaine Locomotive Failure

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 1O,-The Fontaine
locomotive, invented by Eugene Fontainc, of
this city, for which greater power and speed
were claimed, has been sold. The central
idea in this locomotive was the introduction
Of two friction wheels above the two driving
wheels By contact of the upper wheel with
the lower greater number of revolutions
per.minute, and hence greater speed could
be obtained. A company was formed with
$l.000.000 nominal capital stock at S25 per
share. Two engines were built at an expense
Of $4,000, but proved a failure. AL
together the company has paid out s45, 900
and received 81, 700 in return. This was re-
ceived to-day from the Lake Erie &; Western
railway, which bought the engines and will
rebuild them into the form OF an ordinary
locomotive.

THE BRENNAN Banner takes q sensi-
BILE view OF the railroad question when
Il savs that "for some years the lead
ing papers Of Texas have opposed un'
due railroad legislation, but the grange
element In the legislature, aided and
abeited by demsRogues, has insisted
upon legislation, and the result is no"
be fore the people; there has been to
tai suspension Of railwsy building in
Texas for the past year or two, aud II
the legislature passes any more laws
adverse TO the railways, capitalists
will not make any more investments
In the state. Texas Is wholly without
waterways, and is therefore dependent
entirely upon railways FOR trsnsporta-
ton That more railways are needed -
apparent to every business man; more
competition Is needed and more coun.
try Is to be opened up. Brennan now
needs railway TO LaGrsnge, and also
TO the international railway at Hearne,
but II restrictions Of all imaginable
kinds are put upon railroads by the
lawmakers, most Of whom know
nothing about railroad or commercial
business, it would be unreasonable to
expect capitalists to invest their
money In an enterprise which the
laws Of tho state do not allow them to
control. Tie policy heretofore pur'
sued has neen that which IL known ss
the "penny-wise pound .foolish.
There is such thing as killing tbs
goose that lays the golden egg. Iti'
hoped the present legislature will have
the good sense 10 let the railway
alone"

Among the needs Of Fort Worth ii
seems TO TIE GAZETTE that the most
pressing Is a board Of trade; indeed,
that such an organization is the needed
point d'appui to all other needs, As
our business men well know, there are
being agitated At this time several pro-
jecls looking to the advancement Of
the city, but this agitation Is disJointed |
aud lacking in force simply because Of |
the lack OF intelligent unified action;
and this could be easily SC.
cured were our business men, capital !
lists and real estate owners organized.
The establishment Of "a board Of trade
would imply the location Of some build
ing where our business men would
meet daily and discuss the
needs OF the city, as well as
other matters. IL would provide a
place where our peoplscould meet when
organized action OF any kind wss
needfuI TO the success Of any
project or to the reception Of any
visitor Our city needs, for instance,
an additional hotel. This need hes
been discussed in the papers and adj
mitted by every man In Fort Worth (;
by this individual or that one, effort
has been made 70 put the project into
tangible shape, bus without svRil.
Now, The GAZETTE undertakes TO ray
that II Fort Worth had board OF
trade this prof ct of new
hotel would long since have
become a reality from the meetings
and discussions Of that portion Of our
people whu are so vitality interested in
more hotel accommodations. And so
OF any Other enterprise. What we
need Is not only n place where our
business men may meet to dlscutssuch
matters, but place where they dc
meet daily, for this daily com
ing together Ia sure to promote
discussions looking to the city's vel,
fare, and not only discussion but
action,
A board of trade would be Of benefl
