The fact that four hundred cases of defec.

that the people there have not walked up to
their danger any too soon.
According to paper read before the recent
meeting of the Library association, short
hand has fourished more or less for 1900
years. Ciceros famous writer, Trio, is known
to have had rivals in his own time, and
Cmsar's feats In debating several letters
simultaneously while travelling will remain
unequalled. But shorthand, as now UNDER
stood, is the product of the present century.
It is computed that the literature relating to
the subject would fill no fewer than 10, 900
volumes, and England alone has given birth
to 307 different systems.
Accounts have been received of so-called
snow flower, said to have been discovered by
Count Anthoskoff in the most northern por-
ton of Siberia, where the ground is con-
tinually covered with frost. The wonderful
object shoots forth from the frozen soil only
on the first day of each succeeding year. 1t
lives for but single day, then resolves to its
original elements. The leaves are three in
number, and each about three inches in
diameter. They are developed only on that
side of the stem toward the north, and each
seems to be covered with microscopic crystals
Of snow.
in answer to the cry for free raw material
which the New England Democratic press
and orators have been making the Augusta
(Georaia) Chronicle says: The South is blessed
with inexhaustible supplies of coal and iron.
We feel for New England, but she is rich and
powerful in manufactures and commerce.
The South can furnish her with all the coal
and iron ore and pig iron that she will need
for thousand years. New England ought
to be too partriotic to send out Of this coun.
try for raw materials. She should be made
to understand that the tariff was made foz
the South as well as New England.
One of the most cheering signs of the times
is the fact that there is general revival OF
the iron industry in both Europe and Ameri.
ca. In England and Germany at times some
excitement even has prevailed in the trade,
and substantial advances in prices have been
established in all markets. The improve.
ment is most marked in England. The largest
item in the demand there has come from the
shipbuilding industry, though the demand
from other sources is greatly enhanced by the
favorable condition Of other lines of business.
Our own iron and steel industries have i'm.
proved decidedly, but the movement is q
slower one than that abroad.

FORT WoRTH's WAY.
The Location of the Texas Spring Palace
Settled in Pleasant Manner.

The Location of the Texas Spring Palace
Settled in a Pleasant Manner
At least FIVE hundred ladies and gentle-
men stockholders in the Texas Spring
Palace, assembled at the opera house
last night to vote on the question of
locating the Palace. During the day
the friends of the locations proposed
were busy making converts, and when
the hour came for the meeting no one
could tell how the vote would
go, for elections are very uncertain.
President Paddock called the meeting to
order and made happy little speech on
the Palace generally. He called for
ten-minute speeches from the advocates
of first one and then another place, but no
one responded until the people called for
Sylvania and w. s. Pendleton who took
the stage and made strong speech for
Sylvania. He was several times ap-
plauded.
North Fort Worth was then called for
and Mr.. a /. T. Byers made an excellent
argument in favor of the loca-
ton of the Palace on the North
side. He closed by stating
the company's proposition which was
asfnew one and included building the
Palace ON certain terms. Mr.. Byers
was warmly applauded.
Calls being made for the railroad reser-
walton of the Texas and Pacific, Capt
Thomas +. West responded in a good
speech full of telling points. The ap-
plause at times was great and the Tecep-
ton given Mr.. West left little doubt as
to the result.
Gen. Cameron being called for ex-
planned the necessities of the situation
and recommended central location.
Secretary Post read a communication
from J.. l.. Tyler, offering land near
Tyler 5 lake, and then President Paddock
announced that balloting could begin.
brief discussion ensued as to the
proper mode of voting, which was de-
cided by the placing on each ballot of the
name of the stakeholder, the number of
shares and the place voted for.
While the vote was being taken Capt.
Ball said the ladies association had Sl25
in hand, and they desired to have their
sentiments voiced by giving to Gen Cam
eron the power to vote the stock
The motion prevailed, and Gen. Cameron
voted the stock for the reservation.
While the vote was being counted Gen.
Cameron was called on TO address the
meeting and did so, presenting many
excellent ideas in regard to the Palace in
which be used the word korporama,
coined especially for the Spring Palace.
Before the result of the vote was an
nolnced President Paddock said he had
never made a mistake in Fort Worth In
his life. AS usual the people were united
and harmonious. He was authorized to
withdraw North Fort Worth and Sylvania
from the contest and announce that the
Texas and Pacific reservation had been
selected by a unanimous vote, ard that
no one would do more for the Spring
Palace than North Fort Worth and Syl-
vania.
a mighty shout went up on this an
nouncement, and the meeting adjourned

Huffman 5 hail was filed last night
with the friends of the Fencibles who
had gathered to witness the indi-
viduai contest for the Fred King
medal and the exhibition drill
of the ssCarey Zouaves, a picked team
from the company. At $3.50 o. cloek the
boys fell in - and were inspected, after
which those desiring TO compete for the
medal were drawn up in line and after
spirited contest Sergt. John Flaherty
was left standing, having won the prize.
Mr. Il. j Powell, after receiving the.
medal from the sponsor of the company,
Miss Augusta Hershfield, presented
Sert Flaherty with the honors in neat
and warmly appiauded speech. Then
came upon the field the quIek-stepped,
lightning drilled Carey Zouaves, and had
Dan Carey been in the hall to witness
the team drill that bears his name, he
would have been proud of the boys.
Well, the s'Zuas, - notwithstanding the
slippery floor, got there all
the same, and round after
round of applause greeted the
team as it executed the different move
ments with rapid stride and the utmost
precision. The manual, firing and field
movements were simply immense,
and reflect great credit on the
boys who have made themselves
so proficient. After the drilling the
boys and their girls, accompanied
by a host of friends, repaired to the
Singer IS hall and until II o'clock enjoyed
themselves in dancing. Every one
present had splendid time and on leav-
ing the hall thanked our soldier boys
for delightful evening and
hope for many more such treats. Pro-
fessor Ault's orchestra rendered
the ten selections in just
the style and with the time
that pleased the dancers. In the Fen
cibles the Fort has solid militia organi-
cation and in the future the company has
bright prospects to win laurels upon the
competitive field.

DALLAS, TEX. Feb. 26.-The Dallas,
Pacific and Southwestern bonus commit
tees held meeting at the Merchant s
exchange this morning and reported sat
isfactory progress. Ten or twelve thou
sand dollars are still lacking TO complete
the $50 600, aud it is reasonably certain
that all VIII be raised this week. 1t is
certain that work viii be commenced

4 SENSATIONAL REMARK.
The town has been talking to-day
about the remark Of Governor Brown to
Mr. Blake about freights. Mr.. Blake
complained that current rates were
stranghng the Dallas cotton mills; that
the factory was full of goods that could
not be shipped on account of rates.
Governor Brown is accredited with
saying, "You had better hire OK
teams and haul them out - The
friends of the railroad commission
bill have been using the remark
for all it is worth. Governor Brown s
friends do not think that he meant
any discourtesy to Mr.. Blake or the nan
ufacturing interests, but that he alone
was powerless to remedy the matter.
