day appear to labor under the impress
sion that the sooner their little ones are
trained in the articles of social life the
more charming do they become. One
may well ask with Charles Lamb as one

little prigs who now masquerade as chill

childhood dead?' l trust that we wo-
men of to-day, who pride ourselves on
the possession of brains, may not here
after have it imputed to us thai, in ad-
yaneing ourselves, we forgot how to
bring W our children. The fact of the
matter is that children nowadays are
sacrificed to maternal vanity. Women
never show to better advantage than
when they are noticing children. The
society woman, therefore, regards them
as vehicles for effect, and trails her

Miss Tenant said of it:

the very latest approved costume for the

bining simplicity and prettiness. 1t is a
sad fact to see, among fashiOnables here
in London, that the children of the day
who pervade at homes, dinner parties,
and even balls, have ceased TO be as the
childlike children OF ones youth. No
longer are they rompiug, merry, natural
little creatures, satisfied with innocent
pleasures and each others society, but,
like their elders, whose Objectionable
manners and conceit they are so quick to
acquire, they have become the artificial,
preternaturally shrewd and wizened lit

UNTOLD DISASTER.
Life and Property - New York
City Suffers.

NEW YORK, June c. - The terrific
thunder storm of last evening and
throughout the night and until long after
daybreak, seems to have been wide
spread. From all points of the compass
and from hundreds of miles away come
stories of floods and havoc by lightning,
rain and wind. Several lives were lost.
In and about the city several buildings
were struck, houses unroofed and fences
and trees laid perfectly PROSTATE. At
Elmira the most terrific thunder storm
of the year prevailed yesterday afternoon
and last evening. The house of James
Ward was struck and burned. At
WaverlY, n. Y. there was cloud burst
and streets and many cellars were
flooded, dong much damage. The Erie
tracks were also oyered for time.

Just now the struggle for the renewal
of the charter of the Louisiana Lottery
company, which expires in 1895, brings
John A. Morris, whose profits from that
Concern last year reached Sc 200, 900 into
an unwished- for prominence. Mr.. Nor
ris is a very successful sportsman, and
his running stable is one of the best in
the country, as is evident from his cap
ture the other day of the wo-vear-old
stakes worth $50, 900. HIS home is at
ThrOgg's Neck, near New York city =,
and few years ago some curiosity was
aroused by Mrs. Morris erecting S25 900
cottage TO accommodate her husband,
whose stentoriau snores arouse the night.
Last year Mr.. Morris opened the Morris
Park race track, at Westehester, y. Y. =,
a feature of which was his racing stable.
HIS father was likewise liberal patron
of the turf before him, and Mr.. Morris ;
son, A. II. Norris, is associated with
him in his present stable. Mr.. Morris
has passed the prime Of life, being now

style is impaired by means of a uniquely
artistic hat or cap, and these articles are
not only produced to order by swell out

sFhere was scarcity of railroad men
in Fort Worth yesterday. most of them
having left for different points in the
state, some on business, while others
were on pleasure bent. Among the lat
ter may be prominently mentioned City
Ticket Agent Jake Zurn of the
Texas and Pacific, and General Agent
J. A. Wilson of the Chicago and Alton,
who travelled over to Dallas TO join i'll the
Shriners' parade, and it is said they both
were assigned conspicuous positions in
the procession. It is told that in the
column were two camels, and on the
hump of one of them was seated Jake +,
with q red cap on his head and
the Identical walking-stick that he
cut from the grave of Washington
at Vernon, on the Fort Worth and Dem
yer road, in his hand. By the side Of
the camel walked Jim, who also had a
red cap on his head, while he used the
gOldheaded cane, so well known in
Texas, TO goad the beast along. Express
Agent T. N. Edgell was also on hand
but what position he occupied in the
procession was not stated. The boys will
be home to-day and, with a mist before
their eyes and an all-gone look behind
it, will struggle through the duh routine
of business in the best manner possible
under the circumstances, reverting in
their minds now and then TO the jolly
good time at Dallas.

The action of the Texas and Pacific in
putting on fast train from this city to

talk, and the Texas and Pacific has
come in Tor many good words. The peo-
pie here have a long time felt the neces-
sity of such service, and in making the
request for it THE GAZETTE has
simply voiced public sentiment. 1t Is
Just such Difference to the public that
makes friends for any railroad that
shows it, and rs a proof of it nothing
better can be cited than the remarks Of a
leading business man of this CITY who
was talking on this subject.
81 am glad - he said, ''to see that
the Texas and Pacific has at last given
Fort Worth a fast train to St. Louis.
am somewhat surprised that this
road should be the first one to
give the people such service, and was
almost certain that it would be given in
short time by another line-in fact 1
am informed that the matter had been
under consideration by another road for
some time. The Texas and Pacific has
taken snap Judgment on the other fell
lows, however, and it will not be long

nent IN commercial affairs,
and it is but natural for

holders in said county opposed to the

son that the county did not have the
number of legal voters the law required,
but, as there has been great influx of
immigration to Floyd county lately, all
opposition was withdrawn, and the COM
