ABOUT THE HEADQUARTERS. u
If the Dallas correspondent of THE
GAZETTE is not misinformed, it would
seem that the idea of ''Panhsndle
headquarters at Dallas did not orig
mate in Dallas, but with two or three
gentlemen in Northwest Texas. 4 letter
to THE GAZETTE from Bowie this morn
ing also throws some light on the subject.
It would seem from the statements OF
DR.. Riley and Mr.. Yost that the matter
is not settled and that not fs1 of the
Panhandle and Northwest Texas people
prefer Fort Worth, and that none of the
gentlemen at Dallas had right to pledge
all the PanhardIe Ind Northwest Texas
to any action taken at the Dallas confer
ence.
It is immeterIal to The GAZETTE
whether or not a few gentlemen sought
to bind all the northwest to their plans;
it is immaterisl whether or not one
or two, or three or more per-
sons telegraphed Dallas to extend
an invitation to all the west and north
west, and thus get ahead of Fort Worth;
it is immaterial whether the scheme was
to work the northwest country to the ad-
vantage of one town or all the towns;
the motive, the origin of the movement,
the purpose of it, are all immaterial.
The material point is that this matter has
emphasized the need in Fort Worth Of or
ganization.
If this "Dallas headquarters scheme
should materialize, who in Fort Worth
would be iniured2 The wholesale mer-
chants of this city directly, and all citi-
zens indirectly; for, if the scheme should
materialize, the effect would be as THE
GAzETTE's Dallas correspondent states.
VIZ:
This immigration movement means a great
deal, not only for the Abilene and Panhandle
countries. but for Dallas. 1t brings these Sec
tons into closer business relationship with this
city. The merchants along the line Of the
Texas and Pacific ard of the Fort Worth and
Denver roads will not be apt to forget that Dali
las business rnen are putting their hands in
their own pockets to develop these sections OF

Fort WORTH was offered these headquarters
with all the prestige and all the advantage they
would bring her. She was indifferent in the
matter, and John Howard, George Byrne and
their associates turned toward Dallas, and asked
Mayor Connor and the members OF the board of
trade, ''win you, gentlemen, JOIN US in this
proposed enterprise of advertising Northwestern
Texas and the Panhandle country?' And
Mayor Conner and the board OF trade responded,
''We will" Invitations were then sent out by
telegraph to the Panhandle country and to the
Abilene country to representative citizens to
meet in Dallas to talk the matter over and give
practical form and force to THE GAzErTE's sug-
gestion.--[eAzErTE Dallas Correspondence.
In THE GAZETTE of Sunday April 20,
Fort Worth was suggested as proper
place for the location of immigration
headquarters for the Panhandle and
Northwest Texas; Tuesday. April %,
(before Fort Worth had time to act,

Dallas telegraphed an invitation to all
the boomers to meet at the Three Forks;
THE GAZETTE does not know who put
Dallas up 10 getting ahead of Fort
Worth, or why Fort Worth was not asked
to move; but Mr.. George Byrne told par
ties in this city he had no intimation of
what was up except through the invita-
tion-he received by wire from Dallas,
and George tells the truth. Whoever
the prime mover was, he deserves credit
for his profnptness; but now that Fort
Worth is onto the racket, what does this
city propose to do about itH It was a

The Duke Of Aosta, Who Occupied the
Spanish Throne for Two Years.

Prince Amadeo, duke Of Aosta, brother Of
King Humbert and formerly king Of Spain,
died at Turin at Z p. m. Saturday. He was con-
soous at the moment of his death and received
the pope's blessing from Cardinal Allmanda,
The duke died Of pneumonia, superinduced by
influenza, and had been i'll but a few DAYS. He
was conscious throughout. As the end ap-
preached he turned to the duchess, smiled and
tried to speak. His throat was clogged and be
was unable to utter a word, but he seemed to
suffer no pain. King Humbert. with the
princes, his sons, was by the bedside as his
brother died. The death causes great lamen-
tation among the people by whom Amadeo, as
he was affectionately called, was beloved. He
was the most popular of the Italian princes.
Amadeo Ferdinand Marie, duke of Aosta,
was born at Turin May 80, 1S45. He was the
second son of King Victor Emanuel. While
still young he became lieutenant general and
inspector general in the Italian army, and sub
sequenty rear admiral in the navy MAY 30,

Charles Emanuel, prince of Pozzo del Cis-
terna In 1870 he was proposed by Gen. Prim
Tor KING of Spain-Marshal Serrano then being
regent. The proposition was approved by King
Victor Emanuel. subject to the consent of the
powers and the Spanish cortes. These consents
were soon obtained. The new king reached
Madrid January 2, 1871. Four days before
Gen. Prim was assassinated and King Amadeo
himself led life troubled by attempts at assas-
sinatIon by Carlist revolts and by many admin
istrative difficulties. Finally, discouraged, he
abdicated the throne Internationally February
ii, 1879. and Withdrew TO Italy, where he had
since lived as duke of AOsta. His first wife
having died, he married September IL, 1855,
his niece, Princess Letitia Bonaparte, daughter

A Tailor Shipped AS Freight.

Herman Zeitunger, the fashionable Vienna
ladies' tailor, having decided to come to Paris
without paying his fare, on account of failure
IN business, constructed packing case in the

jumped in himself. The jolting on the Journey
was awful and bone breaKing. Sometimes he
was left alone for hours, nearly sti1ed under

BILE journey of sixty hours nearly dead, and was
