Mr. PowDERLY has done much TO
strengthen the organization of which he
is head by the letter printed in to-day's
GAZETTE. Given an organization of men
to resist the arrogance of monopoly, and
the people will rally to it in every strug-
gle for the light; but no conglomerate Of
dlscordant elements can live in this coun-
try. Open doors invite the vicious, and
the vicious destroy. When the knights
ef Labor include only laborers, then will
the order grow strong for good to the
laborer. Reorganize.

IN would seem from reading the old
state papers, that about all the young
men do back there is to play base ball
But then II must be remembered that
nearly all the young men In these antique

any manliness, aspiration aud grit
about them emigrate to Texas or some
other Western state where the youth Of
the country are far too busy with worth

The people Of Fort Worth owe It TO
themselves TO resist boycotting. 'An in
Jury to one is the Concern Of all'' in every
community, aud II the boycotters have
selected any one firm upon which to
wreak their vengeance for the resolutions
passed by the citizens Of Fort Worth, the
people of this city should resist the
tyranny by rallyng to the support OF
such firm If one man or firm
could be driven to the wall
by the trade coercionists, others would
be subjected, in turn, to like fate. The
boycott can only exist in the fears OF
men; II every liberty-loyiDg man will re-
fuse to obey the behests OF the "boycot-
tersr all would soon be free Of the dread
Of II, and boycotting be made as impo-
tent as the pope's bull against the comet.
Let the people of Fort Worth in
quire into this thing, and II men
are making vlcarious offering Of
any one man or firm, let the people rally
TO the support Of that firm or man. The
people owe II to Themselves to do this
thing, and the boycotters should be made
10 see that they will not be permitted to
injure any one person for an acs for which
others are equally responsible. Men and
women who favored the resolutions Of
the citizens should inquire If one man or
firm was being made to suffer for the
offense Of all.

PARsoN ARMSTRONG, the Episcopal
divine OF Atlanta, Ga, who created a
national reputation by some very frisky
conduct at Cincinnati was asked by a
number Of his friends the other day to
preach for them. AS the parson had been

pit by his bishop he wisely declined.

mlttec of District Assembly rs and pub

would have been better for them. In.
stead of doing so, they refused to make
an explanation. When members of the
order were asked what caused the strike,
they were dumb, or answered, and prob.
ably truly, that they did not know. No
Information of any kind could be OBJ
tanned. Nobody knew what led 70 the
strike. Several days after quitting work,
the pressure Of the public demand for
knowledge caused the publication OF a
statement Of the Knights grievances. In

WE observe that the resolutions passed
by the executive committee of the Knights
of Labor in this city are conspicuous by
their absence from the local labor organ.
If TUE GAZETTE had not published them
many of the Knights would have been ig-

Were they ignored because their tone
was too pacific TO please the organ, and

New Metropolitan Theater,

The Jeffreys-Lewis dramatic company
an excellent combination-began weeks
season at the New Metropolitan last night.
An eight-hours' detention at Mohave de-
layed the arrival of the company until after
o'clock. The indulgence of the audience
was asked and given, but it was nearly 8
o'clock before the curtain went up, and
nearly midnight when the play closed. 1t
is to the credit of the company to record
that it held all the auditors until that late
hour, which may be taken as strong evil
dence of its success, when the GOODNESS of
the evening is considered and the predatory
wait of an hour taken into account. Miss
Lewis method and broad ability are too
well known here to call for comment now.
She is less vehement than of old, and more
stately. She is not probably less vigorous,
but there is considerably less of
what some of her critics have
denominated the "tigerish" in her
action and expression. In the opin-
ion of very many the change is improve
ment, as being more human and natural.
"Clothilde' was the play, with Mr.. Main
hall excellently sustaining the leading
male part, supported by Charles Edmonds,
whose Pomerol was creation, and does
him infinite credit If only he could be
hands would be high art work. Mr.
Williams makes a fair Morel. Miss Esther
Williams as Fernando, not less leading
part than Clothilde, proved herself to be
possessed of strong emotional powers and
TO be an actress of positive and vigorous
merit. That she is too vigorous for the
part of Fernando is unquestioned, excel
lently as she plays it. One cannot but recall
the pathetic, maidenly, shrinking, almost
childish action of Phoebe Davis in the
part. Yet striking as is the contrast, Miss
Williams Interpretation is thoroughly
good one. Miss Trella Foltz, pretty of figure
and face, graceful and piquant, had mere
filling in " comedy part But she took it
with such naturalness and played it with
such artlessness, as to awaken curiosity to
see her in something better adapted to the
native talent she possesses. Miss Lewis
and Mr. Edmonds received most flatter-
ing recall at the close of the third act. The
orchestra, of eleven pieces, last evening
was most excellent, and won especial COM
mendation and applause. There was evil
dence of pains-taking rehearsals on its part
and of a well-balanced membership. " Clo-
thilde will be repeated tonight

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.

An Elderly Woman While Rescuing n
Child Receives Fatal Injuries
About 10 o'clock yesterday morning,
Mrs. Barbara Hemphill residing at Sixth
and F streets, was run over by a car, while
endeavoring to rescue her little grandchild
from threatened death, and received such
injuries that it is not probable that she can
recover. There are two railroad tracks on
Sixth street, close to her residence, and at
the hour mentioned switch-engine was
backing train of fourteen cars down on
one of them to couple on eight more freight
cars that were standing there. The child,
only about thirty months old, son of
James Sloat, an employee in the railroad
boiler-shop, had been visiting his grand
mother, and was out playing with dog.
When the train backed up against the cars
standing on the track the entire number
moved on a little distance under the head
way acquired. Mrs. Hemphill glancing
around, saw the little boy and dog on the
track directly in the way of the moving
cars and Immediately rushed to save the
infant. She reached the latter few yards
in advance of the train, and was STOPPING
over to grasp the child when the brake
beam struck her leg and caused her to fall
two wheels of the first truck had passed
over her. and also one of the other truck,
the last wheel resting against her in such a
manner that it was little time before she
could be extricated. She was carried into
her house and surgeons soon attended her.
They found that both legs were crushed
just above the knee, and expressed the be-
lief that she could not survive the injury.
though she might possibly live day or
two. She is widow, nearly so years of
age. The child, after its grandmother fell,
was pushed along by the car, bat Patrick
Hallanan, who was working outside the
foundry in the immediate vicinity of where
the accident occurred, ran and picked it up
He was also struck by the car while he was
so doing but not much hurt The dog
with which the little boy was playing was
run over and killed.
AT a late hour last night Mrs. Hemphill
was reported to be still alive. She has re-
fused to have her limbs amputated, saying
that she had all her life had hard time to
gain living when she had two sound legs,
and she could not see any hope for her if
they were cut off. Therefore she preferred
to die with them on.
