A Pleasant entertainment.

A very delightful entertainment was
given last night at the residence of Mrs.
w. F. Lake by the young ladies of the
First Baptist church, the object being to
raise enough money, by collections taken
up, to defray the expenses of memorial
window, to be presented by the young
ladies to their new church. The enter
tainment was opened by a few appro-
pirate remarks by Rev. J. Morgan
Wells, followed by very fine pro-
gramme.
The entire programme was finely rem
dered and all deserved great praise for
their selections, but those receiving the
heartiest encores were, the Mariposa
Mandollne Club, Mr.. Louis De Mouche s
song Lady Love Awake;" the recita-
ton, ''The Joiners, by Miss Anna Hog
sett, and 1.-THE Flying Machine'' by
Professor Boaz.

An Appreciated Effort.

To the Gazette.
We know that every friend of the
Texas Spring Palace was pleased to learn
of the proposed formation of an Agassiz
association among the teachers and
children of Fort Worth through the eff
forts of Rev. n. Shultz and his lady as
socrates, and the exhibition of their col
lections at the Spring Palace.
The children can accomplish wonders
in this direction, and we hope they viii
meet with every encouragement. They
can count on the hearty cooperation of
the officers of the Texas Spring Palace in
their work
Every child can be the means, too, of
bringing their friends from distance to
see the Palace by writing to them, and
little later can obtain printed matter to
send out. WILLIS II. Posr,

Facts for the Consideration of the Spring Pal
ace Stockholders.
Sylvania offers to donate to the Texas
Spring Palace company twelve acres of
land, worth $4,000. The own
ers will take $4,000 in stock
over and above what they
now have. The only grave1ed drive
from Fort Worth goes to Sylvania. The
Palace location is only a mile from the
courthouse and stone s throw from the
city limits. The surrounding ground
is covered with beautiful trees and
flowers grow on this soil as they do no
place else in Tarrant county. A strong
company will in sixty days expend $40,
600 in building double track street car
line to the Palace if Sylvania
is selected. Flowing artesian wells
are guaranteed. The property itself will
be worth $35 200 TO the Palace company,
and make the stock worth two for one.
The proposed location is higher than any
part of Fort Worth. All the nurseries
are located near the place, and the gar
dens will be attended to at little cost.

On the subject of the insane. he saws
that the better facilities for their care
and treatment are necessary, and it is
not unlikely that his words will pre-
pare the way for the purchase bv the
State of the Diamond State Insane
Asylum at Hare's Corner. He urges
that much work which is now done bv
the Legislature can be Just as well if
not better done by other bodies which
have jurisdiction over the same mat
ters. Special attention is called to the
evil of having divorce cases settled bv
the Legislature, as they must therefore
be hurriedly considered when nothing
should be more carefully scru tinized.
The governor says The courts being
clothed with power in the matter. be-
lleve that the rights of all parties would

allowing them to deal with this ques-
ton rather than yourselves. "
On the question of Constitution he
advises that they "show that regard
and reverence for the provisions of the
Constitution which are justly due
them. "
A law governing the primary cleo
tions of the whole State similar to that
relating to those in New Castle county
is recommended.
In regard to bribery at elections the
governors words are very emphatic.
He says: p" The evil has grown to such
magnitude that the most strenuous leg
islation is deIanded to check its further
increase. There should be a law en-
acted sufficiently rigorous, weighing
heavily upon both the buyer and the
seller. Provision equally as exacting
should be made for the failure in per-
fOrmance of duty on the part of those
entrusted with the execution of the
laws.

A GOOD way to improve bad times.
or to make good times better is to
square accounts at the first of the year
wherever it is possible. 1t puts good
deal of ready money in circulation. If
John will pay James, it will enable him
to pay William, and then William can
discharge the debt he owes. Thus the
business ball will start again with re-
newed activity, and all will have plen.
ty to do and everybody will be happy.
The consciousness of being out of debt
aids digestion, induces undisturbed
sleep, and prOlOngs life. Let us all try
it the first of the new year.

gives a glance at the binding, and saws:
That is the book I've been wanting
and orders it.
Why, says Mr.. Bryant, Wilmington
has such on exalted name for general
intelligence and love of books that pub
fishers and authors gauge their works
by the reception it receives in Whining
ton, and from Boston, New York and
Philadelphia, they come to Whining
ton to feel the book pulse. Ifthe book
is well received in Wilmington. it is
taken for granted that it is a work of
merit and will be popular in intelli-
gent communities.
" Mr.. Bryant says that the intelli-
gence of New England is very much
Overrated.
" There are more colleges there and
other institutions of learning and there
are many very highly educated peo-
pie, but it is only confined to the few.
Education is not so general as in Will
mington, and there was a less desire
for general knowledge of what is going
on in the world.
Mr.. Bryant stated that he did not
give these facts to hatter Wilmington,
but because they were merited, and
would serve to cOunteract the idea that
New England was all powerful on ac-
count of superior intelligence when that
intelligence did not exist.
