Interesting Proceedings OF Yesterdays Session
in St. Louis-FInaneiaI Statement.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 13.-The work
of the convention of Young Peoples
society of Christian endeavor opened this
morning with a very numerously at
tended prayer meeting at Music hall
from $50 to 1880 O'Clock. The first
business of the session of the convention
opened promptly at a. m, President
Clark presiding. After music and relig-
ious exercises and reading of various an
nouncements, invitations and greetings
from abroad, William Shaw, treasurer
of the United society and agent of the
publishing department made financial
statement, which showed receipts from
societies and individuals S6l97, from the
publishing department $500, balance
from old account S49S, total SSI95; ex-
penditures S7303; balance 1892. Re-
ceipts OF publishing department for the
year were S34 1888. 1t is expected that
during the coming year the profits of the
publishing department will meetall eX-
penses of the United society, so that no
societies will be asked to contribute for
that purpose. Mr.. Shaw suggested that
hereafter that the members of the or
ganization, large or small, should have
its printing done at the general associa-
tion office and not by outsiders, and thus
put the profit of the business into the
work Of the societies. He also advo-

Alabama and Mississippi, IN each of which

the effect of reducing the prices of the

EVERY COUNTY HELP.

Plano INQUIRER: The beautiful Spring
Palace which burned last Friday night
was a great loss to the prospects of Fort
Worth and to the state of Texas. There
were about 1000 people in the building at
the time, and but for cool heads and
heroic undertakings the loss of life would
have been immense. But as it was,
there was but one death, AL Haynes,
who "died that others might live" and
number injured. The burning of
this beautiful and unique build
ing is certainly to be de-
plored, as it was one of the greatest ad-
vertisements Texas ever had and was at
tracing immigration, capital and brains
to Texas very rapidly. Fort Worth and
the projectors of the Spring Palace have
the sympathy of the entire state in such
great loss. The counties that had ex-
hibits in it are also heavy losers as there
were some things placed on exhibition
that can never be replaced. We hope to
see, and no doubt will, the Palace reared
heavenward again before another year
may approach, and We would like to see
every town and county in the state help
ID its re-erection.

Thus the rates are seen to be from %
to rs per cent. higher in Texas than in
Georgia. Now if Capt. Paddock
gets his information from any
more reliable source than the official re-
ports, it ia mis- duty to the public whom
he seeks to instruct to tell them from
what fountain he gets it. Further on
he says that Iowa with q mileage but
little more than that of Texas, has gross
earnings of S6s, 200 900, against $685.
900 900 for Texas. Now the Official re-
port of the railroad commissioners for
Iowa, dated at Des Moines, Nov. 80,
1889. shows gross earnings for 1889 end
ing June 80, TO be S37, 469 ,276.26. This
can be found on page nine of report.
Again may be permitted to ask where
did the captain get his figures?
Now let me give the captain few
figures taken from the official report.
Iowa for 1883 shows:
Operating expenses. 1921, l65 81
Net earnings .SlO, 9JS, 422 80
1882
Operating expenses. Is, 607, 1855 II
These figures show that the Iowa roads
under commission law earned SoOZi-
SS7. 70 more IN 1889 than in 1888, partly
from increased receipts and partly from
greater economy.
The oomptroller's report for Texas
shows that the
Gross nings of Texas roads SIS, 1858 800 s.
Operating expenses .............-... 256O0,6l 80
Net earnings. 81, 65S, 295 O9
But these figures show that although
the gross earnings in Texas are 50, 000,-
900 less than in Iowa, the operating ex-
penses are 81 900 200 more.
Another curious thing that perhaps the
captain on account of his familiarity
with railroad affairs may be able to ex-
plain is this In the comptroller's re-
port, page $40, in giving operating ex-
penses they iJemize little over Sll ,000,-
900, and then there is a lump of tmis-
ceIlaneous" of S14 1858, 497 %. Now,
in what does this miscellaneous con-
sist? Some people believe that is out of
proportion to the other items and think
that it might be reduced without doing
injustice to the roads.

LET IT BE REBUILT.

Hall County Record: The great Spring
Palace, the pride of Texas, the glory
of the Panhandle and the grandeur of
Fort Worth is no more. 1t was burned to
ashes last Friday night. One life was
lost and several persons injured, some
perhaps fatally.
The financial loss is great and must
aggregate near half a million.
But already plucky Fort Worth has
announced her intention of building q
finer one than the first. This shows
nerve as well as backbone. But it
should be rebuilt. Texas cannot afford
ii let 1t go by default.
For she has been the messenger to not
only every state in the Union, but to ali
civilized regions on earth, and has told
it everywhere that Texas and her great
Panhandle are the best places on earth,
and the latter is really better than the
first. Let it be rebuilt.

SOUTH TEXAS WILL HELP.

Richmond Register: Fort Worth and
the entire state sustained heavy loss in
the late conflagration which left the
beautiful Spring Palace q blackened
mass of ruins. The city of Fort Worth
and the Spring Palace directors, among
whom was the genial Capt. B. B. Pad
dock, one of the best men in Texas,
have our sincere sympathy in this great
loss. The edifice will be rebuilt, and we
agree with the Galveston News in sug-
costing that when the Palace is again
opened a confiagration day be designated
and South Texas will send up a mighty
delegation to swell the gate fees on this
occasion.

THE SPRING PALACE.

New Birmingham Times: Expressions
of regret are heard on every hand re-
garding the de struction of the Spring
Palace at Fort Worth. For two years
it has been the pride and glory, not of
Fort Worth alone, but also of the en- tir e
state of Texas. As an advertising me-
dunn, 1t contained every feature of the
state worth knowing. Thousands of
visitors, who came to the state out of
curiosity and for pleasure only, were
charmed by this magnificent, silent. yet
forcefuI voice, attesting the glory of the
Lone Star. 1t induced hundreds to be-
come citizens of Texas with their en-
ergy, enterprise and capital, become
factors in building up this great COM
monwealth.
1t is to be deplored that the gallant
Al Hayne lost his life in the conflagra-
ton, which destroyed this unique and
beautiful creation. He was hero, and
by his noble deeds, in rendering service
to the helpless and bewildered throng,
he proved himself one of Gods knighted
noblemen. Men live in deeds not years,
and IN his last hour of life he reached
period of development, which countless
ages would not serve to raise sordid
soul.
The loss to Fort Worth and TO the
state IS large, but in the light of the
good it has done the state, every dollar
invested in 1t has been returned at thou
sand fold.
The Palace will be rebuilt. Not the
old one in form or material, but firm,
substantial structure, composed of the
stone and iron and brick of Texas. Fort
Worth has decreed it, and judging from
the records of the past, the accomplish
ment of any possible thing Is assured
when the energy and enterprise of Fort
Worth is backetit.

Pittsburg Gazette: The destruction Of
the Spring Palace by fire last Friday
night was public calamity felt through
out the whole state. Fort Worth loses
most, as q matter of course, but the
Spring Palace was all Texas in minia-
ture, so to speak, and Texans everywhery
were proud Of 1t. The Palace is no more,
but its good work will go on. It was Wis
tied by thousands from other states and
was the admiration of all. They have
seen the rich display of Texas products as
exhibited at the Spring Palace and that
magnificent enterprise, though now in
ashes, will continue to bear fruit in the
way OF immigration for all Texas.

THE SPRING PALACE CALAMITY.

Tyler Record: The people of Texas
join in one universal expression of SYM
patty with Fort Worth in the loss of her
idol. her Spring Palace building. The
people of that city in embarking in such
an enterprise had shown a confidence IN
the future of Fort Worth and of Texas
that merited the utmost limit of success.
The Palace was an artistic gem. OF
unique design it was an epitome of Texas
spf6ducts. 1t was one of the best adver-
tisements Texas ever had, and its value
to the state cannot be easily estimated.
As q state we are under obligations to
the pluck and energy of the people of
Fort Worth.
