a WORTHY INSTITUTION.

Those benevolent ladies Of Fort Worth
who have been conducting the charitable
institution on Main street are deserving
OF much praise and the earnest support
Of al well-disposed persons for the work
they have performed. During the win
ter they have enrolled, clothed, fed,
lodged, taught and csred for upwards Of
forty boys, besides extending assistance
to number of girls, poor people, women
and children, and needy persons gener-
ally. 1t is the only institution of the
kind in the state and should be encour-
sged. Those boys who drift in from the
various points of the compass should be
taken care of In some way and saved from
the inevitable life Of ruin and vagabond-
age which surely awaits their unguided
steps. Girls, too, need occasional help,
though those applying are comparatively
few. It may be source Of qualification
to know that out OF the forty waits
picked mp during the winter only one boy
WAS native Texan. The rest came here
from everywhere almost. These little
b4rbarisns are taken in hsnd
as soon as found and the
process of civilzing them
is commenced. They are clesnsed and
fed and taught until the more pronounced
features of savagry are removed. The
labors Of these estimsble ladies are prac-
ticable and benefsent. They do not be-
lieye in sending money to the dusky
hesthens who are rolling around in sooth-
ing ignorance upon foreign sands, while
the home heather is ignored and sufferet
TO seek his own salvation. THE GAZETTE
congrstulstes the ladies upon the encour-
aging fruits Of their labors, and trusts
that they may continue to extend their
sphere of usefulness.

FORT WORTH is being advertised abroad
by the newspapers in all they say these
days. These two extracts show how the
name of the coming city Of the southwest
is being scattered broadcast over the
lEnd:
Fort Worth, Texas, has the largest immigra-
ton fund Of any city in the United States. Peo-
pie down in the Lone Star state are getting well
over their Rip Van Wrinkle sleep, and are now
seeking to make up lost time. And they are
going at the work in proper way. Money and

discredit to any other portion of the
state. Fort Worth possesses these pre-.
eminently and alone. The advantages Of
this city msy be thus summarized:
l. Fort Worth is on the line of traffic
to an the great markets Of the country.
2. Fort Worth is the cattle center, the
railroad center and the location for the
great stock yards.
8. Eighty per cent of all the cattle,
sheep and hogs shipped to Kansas City or
Chicago must pass and do pass through
Fort Worth.
4. Fort Worth is On the frontier where
the cattle feeding district and the range
district meet and mingles into each
other.
These are facts which cannot be dis
puted or denied
Packing and refrigeration can be made
successful only when the supply OF
cattle is ample and what is equally nee
essary, continuous. In the west, grass
fattened cattle can be found only during
the summer months, and in the winter
the country around and imme-
distely south OF Fort Worth
must furnish corn fed cattle. Il
will require both sections to supply
the demand Ct alternate seasons. AT any
other point in Texas these advantages are
not enjoyed as fully ns in Fort Worth and
with the raIlrosd facilities possessed
by this city, her stockyerds and other at,
fractions, it will be seen that this is the
place. Establish refrigerator in Hous-
ton to-day, and is there q cattleman in
Texas who would ship his beef cattle there
and take the chances of disposing of themI
Not one! Fort Worth being IN the line
of traffic to all the principal markets,
shippers could ship through with the
privilege Of selling in this city, as is done
ct other points, and thus avoid meeting 8
possible broken market at Chicago OF
elsewhere. Texas csttlemen should think
OF this and transfer their subscriptions to
point where success is possible, and
where 8 refrigerator is already estab-
lished.

THE REFRIGERATOR PROBLEM.
The Denver meeting Of the Information
al Range Association having been set for
March the 28th, the meeting of the Texas
Cattle Association will doubtless be call
ed before long for regular business and
t. elect delegates to the Denver meeting,
and, while these gentlemen are in con-
vention, it would be well for them again
to take into consideration the question of
refrigeration and packing in Texas. The
liberal manner in which the Texas cattle
men subscribed to the proposed refrlg-
orator in Houston is proof conclusive
that they realize intelligently the great
necessity for an institution of this char
scter, and that the attempt to build the
refrigerator in Houston has been sbsn-
doEed, is tribute to the good judgment
and sound business sense of the subscrib-
ers. Successful refrigeration is controlled
by the same immutsble laws of business
which guide to success ell other enter
prises. The eternal fitness OF things
must be considered, snd the selection OF
location must be made only at such 5
point as the Irresistible logic of ovaila-
bility unerringly indicates. There are
reasons, geographical and otherwise,
why refrigerator cannot succeed ct
Houston or Galveston. Among the many
may be mentioned:
l. There are no beef cattle at Houston
or anywhere near it. In order to secure
beef cattle buyers would have to come to
North Texas, and here they would be met
with the competition Of other buyers
from the North.
2. Houston is not on the line of traffic
between any of the great markets of the
country.
3. There is no refrigerator on any
coast.
l. Houston is not seaport.
5. Houston is further from the beef
producing sections !of Texas and the
Indian Territory than Kansas City.
What is said of Houston applies with
equal force to Galveston. The latter
may claim that she can ship the dressed
meats by water cheaper thsn it can be
done by rail, but the idea does violence
to the very principle upon which refriger-
ators sre built, which is to dress the beef
and save in freights the enormous ex-
cess which is charged for transporting
live stock. In order that this may be
done there are many necessary requisites
without which the enterprise can
not be successful, and without

Ten Round Glove Contest In Which Mo
CafIrey Is WorBted.
NEW YORK, Feb. l.-Fully $500 specta-
tors, among whom was solitary lady,
thropged Pavonia rink last night to wit
ness 8 ten.round glove contest between
Jack Dempsey of New York and Domi-
nick McCsffrey of Philadelphia. The con-
test was given under the auspices of the
Warren Athletic Association. An ele-
waited stage twenty-six feet square had
been erected in the center Of the floor. It
was nearly midnight when Dempsey and
McCafrey entered the ring, the early
part of the evening having been
monopolized by lesser lights. Dempsey
weighed 158 pounds, McCafrey 169. In
tee first round McCafrey cut Dempsey
on the forehead.
In the second round Dempsey struck
McCafrey in the right eye. Dempsey
Was aggressive in the first part OF the
battle, trying to settle his opponent in
short order. McCafrey tried his best to
knock Dempsey out, but the Nonpareil
always cleverly avoided punishment.
Several times McCaffrey tried to swing
his right, but Dempsey cleverly lodged.
In the third round Dempsey struck
McCafrey in the right eye.
In the fourth round he caught Mccall
frey in the right temple, raising an ugly
lump.
In the fifth round Dempsey struck Nc
Caffrey on the nose.
In the sixth round McCaffrey tried to
put Dempsey over the ropes, but Damp-
sey got away.
The seventh round was all in Dempsey's
favor, he plsnting blow after blow on
McCAfffey's ribs and shoulders.
In the succeeding rounds there were
four blows, all given by Dempsey. Three
ounce gloves were used. Dempsey at the
end of the exhibition appeared fresh and
said he was able to go on ten more
rounds. McCAfftey took his defeat very
sorely. There we're nearly 100 police
present during the contest, but there was
no interference. The contest lasted forty.
