One Way aud Another that Central Park
M%enaaerie Keeps Growing.
Standing refectively on one foot and sur
veying its companions through h~alf-opened
eyes. Such is the usual pose Of a great white
heron recently presented TO the Central Park
menagerie by Mr.. AL. N. Goodale, Of Dover,
N. j.
Until the new omer's arrival the tufted
crane was the monarch Of the cage; but all
efforts to bend the heron to his sway being
unavailing, he has abdIcated, and the white
heron now reigns supreme.
In the same cage, padding lazily around
in the tank, are two large South American
tortoises, presented by Mr.. j. @. Borlet, of
Brooklyn.
In the Toulouse a new conner has also APP
peared in the shape of a large blacksnake.
He has struck up an acquaintance with the
side by side.
His blacksnakeship was presented by Mr..
j. A. Manley, of New Brunswick, N. j., who
captured it in the swamps Of that place.
In the small animal-house is a cage con-
tanning two dininutive squirrels of the hy-
ing species. Keeper Shannon says they de-
rive their nam from the fact that their broad
tails serve to buoy them up as they make
their wonderful leaps from tree to tree:
These squirrels are the gift of Mrs. Dodge. OF
Dover, n. j.
A familiar "caw" attracts visitors to the
heron's cage. where a large black crow. the
gift of Mrs. Fernandez, of this city, fapt
about.
Among the gaudily colored paroquets in
the bird house is a gray parrot, presented by
Miss Wells, of this city.
Mr.: +. s. Shurick. of Parke sburg, W.
Va, has contributed n red fox, who keeps VI
O perpetual walk around his narrow cage
chatting at being deprived of his liberty.
Nor is the menagerie increased by outsider
only. A fallow deer and an Angora goa
have been horn during the past week.
The monkey-house, which is ever the cen
tire of attraction. contains n new visitor
by Mr.. John King, jr.. of this city.
The little fellow has only arrived from
South America recently, and spends the mos
of his time crouched up OIL his trapeze, eye
ing the visitors with evident CONSERVATION.

CONGRESS is perplexed over the Read
ing strike. Some time ago when the New
York Herald interviewed congressman
and Senator's many of these gentlemen
knew nothing about the trouble. Now
that $4,000 miners and Iaborers have
petitioned Congress for redress or, at
least, for committee ofinvestigstiou, the
question is quite interesting. Congress
men O'Neill and Raynor haVe eac2 built
themselves towers 'of immortal glory by
their advocacy OF the "hornY handed"
and their avowed willingness to pulverize
monopoIies, but it is not clear how Con-
gress can mend matters any.

that forty convicts might be beaten and
abused every day, and excepting by scci-
dent, no one would be the wiser. Sup
erintendent Goree would not permit any
of those convicts in his care to be abused
and they are not sbused By his leave, but
in spite OF him. He should make an
effort, and doubtless will make an effort,
to prevent = recurrence Of these outrages.
Whitewashing will not satisfy the people
OF Texas, and whitewashing committee
might as well not bother with it. The
people have confidence in Colonel Goree,
and he should make personal investi-
cation.

4 YELL PALD FARRER.

The appropriation Of $4,000 fer the
maintenance of sn experimental station in
connection with the Bryan Agricultural
and Mechanical College seems to have
been pounced upon at very early hour
il the proceedings of THE GAzRTTE's
special kilograms from Austin Sre to be
credited. The salary Of the professor in
charge is said to have been fixed at
$4,000, including assistants, and the re-
manning $4,000 is all that is left TO expert
ment with. THE GAZETTE does not pro-
fess to know just what is Contemplated,
or how the professor is to benefit the
country to the amount Of his salary. 1t
is possible he is worth every cent of the
money, or more. TIE GAZETTE merely
mentions the fact IS one instance where
"fsrmer" has been recognized sud
literally remunerated. Our young
men who are cropping" in Texas
should rejoice and be OF good
cheer. They should GO gladly afeld with
pillow and hoe, to study the ways and
shims of the various weeds and seeds,
secure in the belief that some day they
may be in charge Of an experimental
station where $4,000 a year would be
their reward. Texas should be glad to
know that Uncle Sam is going to send her
q professor whose. bounden duty.it shallibe
to tell her what he knows about farming.
We will learn how to make sweet po-
tatoes and pumpkins grow in punches on
the ends of the vines, and those vines
will be taught to ruu from the field to the
root-ceIIar and drop their fruits in pile,
returning in ample time for an early start
the next season. The $4,000 will mot buy
much land, stock and farming imple-
ments, but the new regime can initiate
the old by uortgsging the crop before it
is planted for enough to "run it," We
look for great things from this "experi-

PUT UP THE MONEY.

Fort Worth men who have interests to
be advanced by an increase of population
should strain point to be liberal in their
contributions to the immigration fund.
Bankers, real estate owners, real estate
agents, hotels and restaurants, saloons,
street car companies, livery stables,
cigar dealers, barber shops, laundries,
clothiers, boot and shoe dealers ct 81 =,
have direct individual interest in the
presence OF every man who comes to Fort
Worth IS visitor, investor or
home seeker. II any one city in the state
is to receive q special benefit from this
immigration movement that city is Fort
Worth, and this benefit can be largely in
creased by liberal, energetic, active and
sensible management of the affairs of our
local immigration society. II Tarrant
county and Fort Worth will avail them
selves of the opportunity now offered
them and act promptly they will
have ample reason to bless the day
when this immigration movement was
inaugureted; and as this movement had
its origin here, this people should lead in
the effort to make it q grand success.
The names of the men who have been
chosen to conduct the business of the To-
cal society are 8 guarantee that economy
snd wisdom and energy will direct It's at
fairs, and it devolVes upon the people
to furnish the officers of the immigration
society with ample funds to resp the
largest possible benefit to the city and
county from the movement.
Booms are made not born. This i'm
migration movement was the result of
persistent agitation, and yet Texas ls nc
more desirable as home or q field for
investment than it was before
THE GAZETTE began to "peg away" on
the railroads and people OF the state in
advocacy of an effort in behalf of immi-
grafton. Fort Worth has many advant-
ages; it is peculiarly the great railroad
center Of the state; it stands between al
its competitors and the west, where
all the cheap public lands
are to be found; but these facts
must be laid before the people in other
states If Fort Worth would garner all the
benefit to be derived from this movement.
Fort Worth has done much, but not sll it
can dc and should do. The city is well
but it can be better
advertised. Fort Worth will reap
largely of the seed sown by
this immigration movement, but ad-
ditionsl effort will increase the harvest.
It is within the power OF this city to make
$ boom for itself such as was never seen
in Texas.
The effort requires money, and money
to be used right now. The world needs to
be told Whist underlies the past and
the future Of this city. There is cause
for the growth Of Fort Worth which must
be made plain to all corners. To do this
requires the presentation and distribution
Of facts concerning Tarrant county and
West Texas, as well as the
local advantages of the city itself.
These facts must be presented
and placed before men wherever they
will do the most good. And this cannot
be done without money. As Fort Worth |

BRAZO8 BOTTOM BRUTALITY.

L L
The Waco Day, most careful and con-
servative paper, makes the following
startling announcement: ''It is alleged
that Lessee Darwin does not conduct the
Convict farm with due regard to human
ity, and reliable persons state that the
food furnished is insufficient while the
labor imposed is very heavy, and that
Egyptian taskmasters lay on the punish
ment when flesh is unable to bear up
under the light diet and crushing work.
The negro guard, Steve Rsgland, who by
the way is en- ex-conVict, chains white
and black together, uses them brutally,
becoming enrsged without provocation
and exercising his discretion as to de-
gree and manner Of punishment.
After being rescued yesterday from
the predlcament the convicts placed
him in when they escaped,
he headed posse of blacks summoned by
him fromthe Tehuacana businesses andthis
gang were the first to arrive st the hiding
place Of the hunted wretches. The Day
is informed that when the capture was
made, R,glsnd, the ex ielon, fell upon
Alvin Manning, q white man, well known
in Waco, recently sent there, and beat him
brutally. All this matter will be over
hauled by the County Judge and the
County Attorney"
Unless the allegation wss based upon
pretty good authority the statement would
never have appeared in the Day. II is
therefore to be assumed thEt the charges
are true as stated, and it must be ex-
pected also that sn investigation will re-
suit as all similar investigations have re-
suited, In learned and labored denial Of
the charge. But the people of Texas should
render such brutality impossible. The fact
that negro convicts are given charge OF
prisoners is, in itself, enough to damn the
leasing system. The law is as good as it
can be made under the circumstances,
and no other safeguards csn be added.
The system should be abolished. Before
8 prisoner can be whipped an order must
be obtained from high officers and q SER
gesnt must, after considerable red tape
and formslity, administer the ch.s!ise-
ment. This is the theory, beautiful
theory, which is hung up on the wall, so
to speak, TO be admired. 1t is followed
now and then, bat not often. These COM
plants which we hesr occasionally, like
the faint echoes from cavern, should not
be ignored. It should be remembered

will be what the city makes 1t.
MRS. HENDRIcKs PLANT.


Mrs. Hendricks, relict Of the late Vice
President Hendricks, has given voice to
little womanly petuIance in an interview
with newspaper reporter. She does
not see why Democratic Congress
should fail to give her pension unssked,
since Mrs. Logan, Mrs. Garfield and
others have been provided for. She does
not need any pecuuiary assistance, she
admits, but thinks that her husband
should be rewarded for his services and
honored for what he has done, by giving
his widow pensi,n. It takes all kinds
Of people to make world, and one class
of people have scurious idea of comforting
honor. Pensionirg q widow msy be, by
literary fiction, called "recognizing"
the services OF dead statesman, but in
plain Anglo-Szxou it is simply proclaim
ing that he was an improvldent beggar,
who, with all his opportunities, left his
wife and children objects of charity. A
mans first duty is to his family, and he
who does not provide for It deserves bat
little recognition" AS Mrs. Hendricks
does not require aid she should not be
anxious to have her husbands name
placed in the list Of magnificent mendi-
rang
