CHlLDREN'S LITERATURE.
WHAT "sT. NICHOLAS" HAS DONE FOR BOYS
AND GTPIc

WHAT ST. NICHOLAS HAS DONE FOR BOYS
AND GTRLS.
Victor Hugo calls this "the woman IS
century," and be might have added
that it is the children s century as we'll,
for never before in the worlds history
has SO much thought been paid to chill
dren-their schools, their books, their
pictures and their toys. Childhood, as
we understand it, is recent discovery.
Up to the time of the issue of the St.
Nicholas Magazine seventeen years ago
literature and children's magazines
were almost contradictory terms, but
the new periodical started out with the
idea that nothing was too good for chill
dren; the result has been juvenile
magazine genuine with conscientious
purpose-the greatest writer's contri-
buting to it, with the best artists and
engravers helping to beautify it-and
everything turned to the keynote of
youth.
1t has been tho special aim. of St.
Nicholas to supplant unhealthy litera-
ture with stories of living and health
full interest. 1t will not do to take fas-
cinating bad literature out of boys
hands, and give them in it's place Mrs
Barbauld and Peter Farley, or the work
of writer's who think that any 'sgoody"
talk will do for children, but they must
have strong, interesting reading, with
the blood and sinew of real life in it
reading that will waken them to closer
observation of the best things about
them.
In the seventeen years of its life st.
Nicholas has not only elevated the
children, but it has also elevated the
tone of contemporary children's litera-
ture as we'll. Many of it's stories, like
Mrs. Burnett's Little Lord Fauntle-
roy" have become classic. 1t is not
too much to say that almost every not
able young peoples story now pro-
duced in America first seeks the light
in the pages of that magazine.
The year 1891 will prove once more
that fno household where there are
children is complete without St. Mich
olas." J.T. Trowbridge, Noah Brooks,
Charles Dudley Warner and many we'll
known writer's are to contribute during
this coming year One cannot put the
spirit of St. Nicholas into prospectus,
but the publishers are glad to send a
full announcement of the features for
1891 and a single sample copy to the
address of any person mentioning this
notice. The magazine costs $3 year.

Undisputed Merit.

The great success Of the Royal Bak-
ing Powder is due to the exteme care
exercised by it's manufacturers to make
it entirely pure, uniform in quality, and
of the highest leavening power. All
the scientific knowledge, care and skill
attained by twenty years practical
experience are contributed toward this
end, and no pharmaceutical prepara-
ton can be dispensed with a greater
accuracy, precision and exactness.
Every article used is absolutely pure.
A number of chemists are employed to
test the strength of each Ingredient, so
that it's exact power and effect in COM
bination with it's co-ingredients is def
nitely known. Nothing is trusted to
chance, and no person is employed in
the preparation of the materials used
or the manufacture of the powder who
is not an expert in his particular bran ch
of the business AS consequence, the
Royal Baking Powder is of the highest
grade of excellence, always pure,
wholesome and uniform in quality.
Each box is exactly like every other,
and will retain it's powers and produce
the same and the highest leavening eff
feet in any climate, at any time. The
government chemists, after having an
alyzed all the principal brands in the
market, in their reports placed the
Royal Baking Powder at be head of
the list for strength purity and whole
someness, and thousands of tests all
over the country have further demon
strated the fact that it's qualities are, in
every respect, unrivaled,

the road will be pushed ahead to the
Northwest where great lead fields and
immense stone QuarTies will be tapped.
The gentlemen in charge of this enter
prise have been at work for long time
arranging for terminal facilities at the
end OF the line, and now say that they
have everything about arranged. 1t Is
learned that the passenger depot will be
located on the north side of the river,
near where the old base ball park was,
on the line Of the Cotton Belt road, and
that a magnificent union depot will be
built there which will be used by both
roads. The freight depot will be on this
side of the river, the ground for its Ioca-
ton having already been secured.
The commencement of work on the
main line of this road will infuse new life
into Fort Worth, and will add to the gen.
uine healthy boom she is now ENJOYING.
1t is expected that the force now in camp
on the North Side will 90 to work to-
morrow, ana it may be that things will
start up to-day.

An Electric Locomotive.

Some interesting experimental trials
have been made on the Southwark sub
way Nondon) with the electric lOcomo-
tive, by which the Irains on this new un-
foreground line are to be worked. and
highly satisfactory results have been OBJ
tanned. With train OF three carriages,
carrying 100 persons-the maximum load
to be carried by any train when the line
is open for trafic-a speed of twenty
miles an hour was obtained, and the To-
connective alone ran at speed OF thirty
miles an hour. 1t is possible, before the
subway is formally opened for traffic in
the spring, that further improvements
IN the electrical plant may be made, by
which the speed may be still further IN
creased. 1t is believed by many engi-
neers that the success of the subway will
lead to q great development of under
ground travelling, by which alone the
congested condition of some Of the Lon
don thoroughfares at certain periods of
the day can be relieved.

Abilene Notes.

Special to the Gazette.
ABILENE, TEX, Feb. 25.-Abilene' g
progressive committee at its next meeting
will have laid before it a proposition
from both the Santa Fe and the Arkansas
Pass railway companies, stating that if
artesian water is secured that they will
run trains into Abilene inside of twelve
months If our citizens will put up rea-
sonable bonus, which we will not be slow
in doing.
The east-bound passenger train was
delayed for three hours this morning
caused by freight train being wrecked
between Abilene and Merkel.
Owing TO the enormous increase in the
freight traffic here the Texas and Pacific
people have been compelled to put on
another switch engine in order to move
the vast amount Of freight now being
handled here.
AS yet our enterprising citizens have
not received reply in answer to their
petition asking for two passenger trains
daily, but it is to be hoped that their
petition will be granted, as two daily
trains have now become an actual
necessity

Al last the affairs of the Fort Worth

shape, and it now looks as if the parties
in whose hands the building of that i'm
portant road had heen left, had got
move on themselves. Yesterday the
outfit of Messrs. Hurley & Tierney,
which has been engaged on the Dublin
extension of the Fort Worth and Rio
Grende road, began arriving in the city,
aud at once went into camp on the north
side of the river, where work on ths Belt
line, which is part of the Albuquerque
system, has been going on Within less
than a week the force there will reach
leo men, teams and scrapers,
and within that time, THE GAZETTE
is informed the entire force
will be at work on the main lire Of the

board President Enos. General

and Messrs. Hoyt and Royce,
who represent certain interests in the re-

Messrs. Hoyt and Royce and with them
returned TO Texas, and are now making
another tour OF inspection.
Tbs party were met at the depot by a
committee of citizens, who drove them
over the city, and last evening they were
entertained at the Commercial club
room. This morning they leave for the
South, and after making the tour of the
entire system in Texas will return North.
These visits of the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas officials are not much for
pleasure. and what they are for win not
be long in cropping out. There is no
doubt that the system is about to make
some move that will be an important one
in the railroad world. What that move

jury to retire, and after they had fled cut, made
q statement which caused a sensation in the
courtroom He said: ~ wish to state to the
counsel that I purposely sent out the jury
before making q statement which may

that certain witnesses who have testified or who
are subpoeIaed and are expected to testify in
this case, have been spoken to by parties inter-

matter and one that strikes at the very foundation
of the administration OF Justice. -
The Judge was very short and severe in his de-
livery of this statement and startling address.
One topic of conversation during recess was q
scathing denunciation and sharp warning given
by Judge Garrison before adjournment about al
legged tampering with witnesses. The true story
that led TO this utterance from the bench was
learned by a reporter from the states officers
and an official of the court. Sampson

ing with some of his neighbors last Friday about
the case. Joseph Burroughs, county clerk. heard

on the states witness. Joseph Burroughs, SO

the truth about Leconey," answered
Kelton. Then it s to be alleged that Burroughs

To Fort Worth: What are you going
to do about it; will you fold your hands
and allow the great Northwest to be

way Il Throckmorton Times.
Clayton E. Wood, travelling passenger
agent of the International and Great
Northern. after having spent a peaceful
Sabbath in this city, has taken his depar-
ture to work up business for his line.
A plan is being matured for the build
ing of a railway from Atlanta to Pitts
burg, which will reduce the distance be-
tween these points from over 1000 miles
to less than 700. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee is
one of the principal promoters of the en-
terprise.
bill has been introduced in the
house of the Kentucky legislature to
tax sleeping and chair car companies 10
per cent. on their gross earnings in the
state, and to compel their officers to
make reports to the auditor.
Another great railway bridge over the
st. Lawrence has just been completed.
1t crosses the river at Coteau Landing,
thirty-seven miles west of Montreal, is
q mile and three fourths in total length
and was built for the Canada Atlantic
railway, which is intimately connected
with the Central Vermont.
A resolution has been introduced in
congress for an examination into the
necessity and practicability OF a tunnel
under the Detroit river, to be used for
the passage of railways between the
Uuited States and Canada. The Grand
Trunk railway company has already
tunnel well under way ut Sarnia, and
this move is very possibly in the interest
of that compsny's great rival, the Can
adian Pacific, although the Michigan
Central company may be proposed
beneficiary.

TERRELL TALKS,
And Makes Complaint Against the Texas
and Pacific Schedule.
TERRELL, TEX. Feb. q.

And Makes Complaint Against the Texas
and Pacific Schedule.
TERRELL, TEX. Feb. q.
To the CARTE
1 wish TO indorse for myself and the
people of this city the position the GA
ZETTE has taken in the matter OF the
present Texas and Pacific schedule.
Under the former schedule trains were
run so as to accommodate the public
along the line Of the road, but if the way
they are run now accommodates any one
east o. Dallas the fact is not appreciated
here. 1t is frequently the case that both
trains-the through one from st. Louis
to Ell Paso and the "bobt ail' from
Wills Point to Fort Worth pass Terrell
within q half hour of each other; and l
have been told that on more &C.
caslons than one they have
passed within fifteen minutes of
each other. Now, if this is the case
would like to know what accommodation
to the travelling public the second train Is.
1 see by the Dallas News that the rail-
road management claims that the pres
ent schedule was put on in order that
connection could be made at Fort Worth
with the Denver by passengers on the
"boOtail'' train, IN case the through
train is behind time. Now if this was
really the intention OF the management
OF the Texas and Pacific, l would like to
know why the schedule is so arranged
that the "bob-taIl' is due at Fort Worth
five minutes after the Fort Worth and
Denver's leaving time? 1t looks to me
and to all of US down here as If there
was something else that brought out this
schedule other than q desire TO serve
the public. If it is to give
people chance to catch the Denver
train at Fort Worth, why is the bobtail
not scheduled to get there before the
Denver train leaves?
The old schedule suited us all right
down in this part of Texas, and We
would like TO see it on again. Terrell
hopes THE GAZETTE will keep up the
fight and teach the Texas and Pacific
how to run tTains for the accommodation
of the public at large, and not for the
accommodation of Dallas and Dallas en-
tgrprises especially. TERRELL.
