Queen Of the Autumn flowers.
You wave your golden wand
Ger many a smiling land
In other chimes than ourA
Ger waters darkly blue
On fair Italias shore,
In halcyon days of yore,
The poet sang Of you.
Perchance In some green spot
OF Egypt's burning sands,
From far of happy lands
You cheer the wanderers heart
Or on an Asian void
Beneath a trOpic sun
From morn till day Is done
You freely shower your gold.
Again, by some swift stream
In lone Indian glen,
Far from the haunts of men,
Methinks you nod and dream.
Go now, and whisper TO
The friend / love and say:
Though years may roll away
shall remember you"
And tell her, lovely flowers,
That she shall ever be
glorious memory
OF those bright Autumn hours.

Gen. Comeron che protector of the
Texas Spring Palace, arrived in Fort
Worth yesterday from an extended
trip North. He was seen at the
Ellis and spoke enthusiastically about
the prospects for Texas. He says
that every place he went peo-
pie were anxious to hear about
Texas and the Spring Palace The peo-
pie, he says, win be here, and this state
and city must work as they have
never worked before He comes
back filed with extended ideas
of what the palace should be and how
to make it supremacy attractive. He
has telegraphed to the general advertis-
ing agent of the Denver, Mr.. Wilson,
TO come to Fort Worth and communicate
with the advertising committee of the
Palace. At Sioux City, at Des
Moines, at Indianapolis, at ali places
at which he leetured, the people
were much interested in the novel Spring
Palace scheme, and the papers in all
these cities have written of it. Fort
Worth is already better known
than ever before and simply on
account of the Palace. He urges that
the work be pushed from this time on and
the people here will surprise themselves
as well as the strangers who come here
The general win remain in the city to-

skinner VS.. DAILY.


CHICAGO, It's, Feb. 25.-Frank
skinner, Chicago lightweight, fought
vicious battle with Phil DAILY of Mem
phis, in grist mill at Evanston yester-
day for $500 side and gate receipts
Skinner stripped at l39 pounds, DAILY four
pounds heavier. DAILY forced lighting
until the sixth round, getting first blood
and receiving little punishment. In the
sixth, however, skinner assumed the ag-
gressive and landed SO heavily
on the Memphis lads ribs
as to break one of them.
DAILY was in distress when he came in the
seventh. One Of his thumbs broken and
a shattered rib gave him great pain.
Skinner now went in to do his man and
continued to smash DAILY in the ribs.
Close-in fighting followed, in which both
men got in some telling blows. Skinner,
however, was in much better shape, and
seeing an opening drove his right INTO
his opponents neck and laid him to
sleep. Daily could not come to time, and
the fight and money were awarded to
Skinner.

Kilrain WOMB Meet pempsey. :

BALTIMORE MD. Feb. 25.-Jake Kill
rain tonight positively refused TO listen
to any proposition looking to a glove con-
test for scientific points with Jack Demp-
sey. He says he would be willing to
meet Dempsey in private where de-
cision could be reached, or would fight
him twelve rounds for d purse, but does
not care for public meeting
where there is always chance for
interference, and a draw would be
the most possible thing to expect. He
would have everything to lose and but
little to gain, even if the contest were
declared in his favor, while Dempsey
could lose nothing by defeat, and would
add TO his laurels in case of q draw. The
proposition for a ten-round contest for
points came from friend of Dempsey
who says Jack is going to California in a
few weeks and would like to spar with
Kilrain before going. Kilrain has received
a letter from Charley Mitchell asking
him to come TO England at once as he
thinks there is big money to be made in
sparring there, and Jake thinks seriously
of accepting the chance, believing the
change would do him good and help him
get in condition for his meeting with
Sullivan. If he goes Mitchell viii return
with him.

Work of an!Incendiarx.

Special to the Gazette
HILLsBoRo, TEX, Feb. 25.-Thls
morning about 8 80 'clock an attempt
was made to fire the Dudley building, on
Elm street, the lower floor of which is
occupied by the Ben French grocery
store and the scent store, and the upper
story by Doctors Dudley and Smith as an
office. DR.. Smith, who occupies one
room of the Office as a bedroom, was
awakened by the incendlary coming up
the stairway but paid very little atten-
ton to it until he heard a match strike;
then he went to the door opening into the
hall near the stairway. While he was
standing at the door another match was
struck, and almost Immediately there
after flame sprang up, and
the incendiary ran down the
steps. DR.. Smith rushed out
and called for help, and succeeded in
smothering the blaze. Nearly all of a
five gallon can of Kerosene oil had been
poured on a pile of waste paper in one
corner of the hall, and the can with the
remainder of the oil left in it was left on
the pile of paper. The following parties
were insured as follows: DIR. Fl. W.
Dudley $4,000 on building, 500 on IL
brary, surgical instruments and office
furniture; Ben French, $500 on stock of
groceries.

This corporation was behind the South

il prudent to attempt the whole response

team. The company have taken no open
steps so far in regard to the Texasl eague,
in order to give the local cranks an OPP

the cranks seem to be minus the necessary
cash, the Oak Cliff people are quietly
working up team. THE GAZETTE man
