whose products yield over S., 900 900
| There are several industries carried on
in the city which have their sole repre-
sentative in the state, here at Fort
| Worth; for instance, it was the first city
in the state to manufacture stoves, the
first to erect beef-packing factory, the
| first to make jute bagging, and the only
| only one that has sash, door and blind
| factory.
An important industry of the CITY is
the Fort Worth candy and cracker COM
pany, which is Incorporated under the
laws of Texas with capital of $50 900.
Employment is given to fifty men, exclu-
sive of those on the road. The business
has so increased that large addition has
recently been built to the factory. Four
flour mills are in operation here with
minimum capacity of 100 barrels day
though in the business seasons 2l50
barrels have been turned out. Since the
LIST of January rolling mill with CAPT.
tai of 500, 200, aud a cordage factory
with capital of $50, 900 have been es-
tablished in the city.
Besides the above there are five grain
elevators with a capacity of $50 900
bushels, and an iron foundry the largest
in Texas, the only moss collar factory in
the country, wind mill and pump fac
tory, boot and shoe shop costing Sill
600, tannery which cost $4,000, a baking
powder factory, wagon factory, three
planning mills, stone works, cement
works and a wooden mill, and others
which have not as yet completed their
buildings, or are about to remove from
other places to Fort Worth.
1t will readily be seen that these taken
in the aggregate, must necessarily
furnish work to very large number of
hands and consequently there is no such
thing as enforced idleness By reason of
shut-downs, caused as it often Is in the
East, by over production. In this re-
spect the Southwest differs very materi-
ally from the older parts of the country;
IN the former section there is always a
brisk demand for the productions and
what goes hand and hand with it, a con-
tinual call for help. In fact the greatest
need of this new section is skilled labor
10 keep pacs with the growing industries.
Ii some of those who, in the East, are
laying idly about simply because they
cannot get work, would emigrats to the
great Southwest they would all find en-
ployment at their respective trades, and
poverty would be TO them thing of the
past. With plenty of work, good wages,
cheap living and delightful climate,
what more could be askeds

Her Husband.

PINE CITY, MINI, June 27.-At

William Brooker was hanged for murder.
He expressed no religious or other feel
ing save what was shown in a "confes-
sion' written before the execution aud
given to the press mediately after, in
which he says the blame for his deed lies
in the coaxing away from his home of
his children by his wife and one
Coombs and his wife. He parted with his
children yesterday afternoon, but did
not want to see his wife. The crime for
which Brooker suffered was committed

very handsome three and one-half story
building on one of the most desirable
corners in town. Another very creditable
piece of architecture is that of the Com
meroial club. Indeed, one does not
know where to end in .enumerating the
handsome and substantial structures to
be seen in Fort Worth. Besides the
above, there is the Powell block, the
Martini Brown building, which is devoted
to the dry goods business, and the Fort
Worth opera house. The plans are
drawn for city hall, to cost in the
neighborhood of $50 900.
CHURCHES AND SCHOOLS
Almost every religious denomination
is representa- in Fort Worth; there are
seventeen churches, all of them built
according to the modern STYLES of
ecclesiastical architecture,
The Baptist denomination has recently
completed a fine stone edifice worth
So 200, and the Me,hodists are now
building one to cost $50 200. A mag
nificent Roman Catholic cathedral, in
volving in construction an outlay of
some $50 900, will be ready for oocu-
pancy in a few months.
Fort Worth has as thorough a system
of graded schools as can be found in
the Southwest. The new high school to
be opened IN the fall is the finest ID all
Texas. The city is not lacking in de-
nominational schools of very high or
der, for there is the st. Iguatius acad-
emp (Roman Cstholic) and the Fort
Worth university (MethodIst). The lat
ter is located at Arlington Heights, a
suburb of the city, and occupies twenty
acres. The aggregate cost, when conn
pleIed, Will be 500 900.
THE SToCKYARDs.
These are located about two miles
north of the business portion of the city,
on the high banks of the Trinity river.
The company controlling the yards own
about $50 acres of land, seventy-five of
which are covered with pens, stables,
barns, sheds and other necessary build
ings. The pens aud chutes are con-
structed after the most modern and I'M
proved plans, and the yards and alleys
are well gravelled and drained by q thor
ough system of sewerage. Artesian
wells supply all the water used about the
plsce. The feed furnished the cattle is
the best that can be found, and only the
most experienced help are kept about the
place The yards are on the Belt Line
railroad, aud are practically within easy
reach of all parts OF Texas, as they have
direct communication with the twelve
railroads running out of Fort Worth. A

The RustIess Process for Kettlos.

The rustless process, which has been
until lately an experiment, has now
demonstrated that great economy can be
used, not only in iron pipes, but in every
article where iron is used. Over 2,000,-
600 kettles have been subjected to this
process in Pittsburg. The method is
very peculiar. After the article is made
it is put into a furnace made in an oval
shape, air tight. After the iron has at
tanned almost white heat, the air that
comes through the regenerators and air
valves is shut securely off, and the fur
mace is made air tight. After the air
has been shut off the superheater, which
is located in the combination chamber at
the rear Of the furnace, and at right an
giles from the air valves, is opened, and
the furnace is filled with steam and kept
in that condition for eight hours. At
short intervals small valve is opened,
so as to allow the exodus of steam in the
furnace, allowing fresh steam to be put
into it. When the articles have been
about ten hours in the furnace there
has been accomplished the formation of
magnetic oxide upon the iron surface.
They are then put into an acid we'll,
which is the last reatment.-Exchange

The Demand for Cut Glass.

The popularity of cut glass for table
decoration is not fad, but growing
taste, the outcome of its increased beauty
in manufacture and design.
When you see a fashionable woman
peering over the cut glass counter, in
quiring for something in Partisan or
Henrietta or discussing the merits of
"strawberry," "fan" or diamond" you
may know she is after American glass
and prefers particular cut.
While the inexperienced shopper sees
little difference in the similarly shaped
and decorated wares, it is yet true that a
man in Pennsylvania is rich as king
because he had the wit to take out a
patent on one peculiarly cut figure

Anecdote OF Rubinstein.

La Starina, a Russian paper, tells how
in Rubinstein's earlier days he narrowly
escaped being sent to Siberia. He played
before the Gar Nicholas in the house of
Count Wielhorsky, and on returning
home lost his passport. A day or two
afterwards he was arrested and brought
before Gen. Galahoff, then chief of
police, who informed the prisoner that
he declined to believe anybody's evid-
ence of his identity, even that of the
count. Rubinstein persisted that he was
a mere musician, and as one of the sub
ordinate police officers knew something
about music the two were sent to try
matters over on a dilapidated piano.
The test proved satisfactory, and the
general, remarking that "the prisoner
was apparently musician" gave him a
permit for three weeks.

The lieutenant is still young man, hav-
ing been born at Halifax, Nova Scotia,
in 1868. Well educated and studious,
most of his manhood life has been devo-
ted to travel in strange and little visited
countries.
He is an acute and intelligent observer,
and this line of mental training proved
of great value in the way of life saving,
subsequent TO one of the skirmishes in
which Stanley's expedition CHANGED to be
involved with the natives of the Nyanza,
country Several men who received but
slight arrow wounds-mere scratches
died after intense suffering. Lieut.. Stairs
searched the huts of the defeated Africans,
and in one of them found a quantity of
the poison with which they tipped their
weapons. 1t proved to be made of the
bodies of red ants, spiders and other in
sects, dried, ground to powder and cooked
in palm oil. Having learned the nature
of the vermin he was able to discount
future disasters in this line by providing
adequate remedies. Lieut.. Stairs was
not, however, an observer solely. He
was an able leader, and showed conspicu-
GUS gallantry in time of danger.

A Remarkable Criminal Case.

A criminal, named Hilton, was SEN
fenced at the county sessions court, Lon
don, the other day, to eight years. penal
servitude for housebreaking. His case
is remarkable chiefly for the reason that
he had previously undergone the follow
ing list of penalties: Seven years for
burglary, fifteen months for malicious
wounding, twelve months for assault,
twelve months for attempted felony and
ten years for burglary. The metropolitan
police declared that he was the most dam
gerous character in England.

In sobs and tears The strange group
about her stood with uncovered heads in
the presence of the majesty of death
and the majesty of woe until the priest
stepped from their number, and, raising
high a little cruciix, said to the CULVER
ing Scotch lassie:
"My daughter, look up and be COM
forted. Behold the symbol of him who
suffered more than you, and rely upon
the promises that shall endure when all
Of us are dust"
A gun doomed its brazen welcome to
the rising sun from the not far distant
Governors Island. 1t aroused the girl
even more than the exhortation of the
minister. She arose, wiped her eyes, and
said: John was a soldier once; he
fought the Soudanese at Suakin; he al
ways told me to be brave, and l will.
Gentlemen, you have been kind to a
poor, heartbroken stranger. Accept my
thanks. Now, father, we will 60"
The might of bereavement had raised
her from the level of a peasant girl to
that of a queen for the moment. She

others followed like vassals in her train.
At the outer door of the Garden she
paused and took the Russian Hebrew by
the hand. Il bless you," she murmured.
"Sholam alacham," replied the dark
and bearded man.
"And you," she continued, addressing
the Armenian.
"Salaam aleikam," was his response.
"And you, and you," to the doctor and
the writer.
A bow was all my answer, for what
could l add to the lofty and oriental
dignity of the salutes of the Israelite
and the Syrian? peace be with you"
and "Bow unto God" comprised hail
and farewell beyond the scope of ordi-
nary English.
So back to the mission went the wild
owed maiden and the black robed priest,
and back into the Garden went the
Americans and the visitors from the far
east. And as they separated mighty
sound of whistling arose above the sun

to await the arrival of the Wyoming, on
