FARMING IN TEXAS.
Worcester Mass. Spy.

Many visitors to the New England far
have found much to interest them in the
Texas exhibition car, sent out by the
Fort Worth and Rio Grande railroad
company, under the supervision of 7. A.
Wilkinson, a veteran of the Thirty-sec-
ond Wisconsin regiment. The car has
been thoroughly inspected by crowds,
who found much to interest them in the
statistics and products of that promising
district of Western Texas, where the
land is so high, the crops so varied and
extensive, the ores so promising and the
climate SO delightful. Forests extend
$50 miles farther west than in the more
Northern states of similar longitude.
The city of Fort Worth has 80 200 peo-
pie by this years census, aud has thirty
one miles of street railway. Near by are
half dozen tributary cities of from 1000
to 5000 inhabitants. Ex-Confederate
soldiers contributed to the railroad fund
that pushes this car about the country,
and sectional feeling is unknown. These
men promise great concessions to cotton
manufacturers and others. The exhibit
in the car is well worth a visit for any
body. 1t may be found near the Grafton
street crossing, at the Union station.

specimens of the products Of the region,
including many fine grains, fruits of un-
usual size, wonderfully tall grass and
wheat and fine specimens of tobacco,
cotton, wool and other products of the
industries of the state.
The Photographic views displayed show
beautiful prairie land and hill land, very
similar TO those of New England. The
views of Fort Worth and other towns
show handsome residences and public
buildings.
A jar of the soil of the region is OF espe-
ciaI interest the earth being dark moist
and very rich. Such soil is said to extend
to q depth of twenty feet Great induce
ments are offered to home buyers there;
land costs only 81 an acre, and railroads
will take such purchasers to the country

Fort Worth is said to be perfect, owing
to the elevation.

who are shown courteously around, and
is deserving of the attention OF all the

sired that every one should see the new
part which has just been completed. The
addition is of three stories, the lower floor
being used for the laundry. The second
floor is used tor a bathroom and on
the upper floor is the sewing room.
The building and furnishing of the
new part. together with some necessary
grading and paving. cost S., 200, and all but
$500 is paid. The other departments of the
asylum-the school-roOms. sleeping rooms.
play-rooms. kitchen. dining-room, infrm-
ary and nursery-were also open. In fact,
the visitors were free to wander where
they would. The children enjoyed the
company quite as much as the company en-
ioyed the children, and were not slow to
show their accomplishments, and little

At the left of the staircase are the par
lor and matron's room. These have been
furnished entirely by donations of furn-
Iture, and besides much of the building
is filed with contributions of generous
friends. The expenses of the beds for the
babies are borne by citizens, who pay sos q
year for each bed. They are dainty affairs,
painted white, and their snowy linen and
canopies might well be initiated for little
ones in homes where hundreds are not as
comfortable as these waits. The name of
the donor for each bed appears in tablet

tablets are in memory of little children.
and others are given by children. The
old college building, at the corner of Col
lege and Home avenues. that is used for the
asylum, was bought in 1879, and the ladies,
by their industry and good manage
ment, and the contributions of citi-
zens, have it all paid for but
$1,000. This debt is being rapidly reduced
BY leading citizens who become honorary
members and pay S5 yearly.
The managers are well pleased with what
they have accomplished. They received
the guests and escorted them over the
building, pointing out the various depart
,uents and improvements. Zumpfe's or

CIYIL.SERVICE INSPECTION.
Secretary Doyle on a Mission of Gathering
Facts to Help Along Uniform Examinations.

John 7. Doyle, secretary of the national
Civil-service Commission. was in the city
yesterday on official business. He made
an inspection of the eligible register at the
postoffice in furthering steps that are to be
taken toward reaching a uniform system of
examination in all cities having classified
Offices. That is the purpose of his present
trip. which includes Pittsburg, Indianapo-
sas City. The government" he
SAID yesterday imposes the extra and
alien duty of holding the examinations
upon certain government officials. but al
lows them no extra compensation. 1t has
therefore been difficult to secure uniformity
and thus the work of the Civil service
Commission at Washington has been in
creased. The failure to compensate en-
courages individualisms in methods OF
holding examinations. marking the papers
and carrying out details of that character.
When the secretaries of the various boards
of examiners are allowed something. if not
more than 500 q year, we hope to get more
work out of them. and we will lind 1t easier

workp the reporter asked.

concerning appointments. In this State
ninety-four persons passed the examIna-

made. Out of more than $50 eiigibles in
