THE SPRING PALACE.

The Spring Palace will open at Fort
Worth the 10th of May to continue until
the 31st. Will Nacogdoches county be
represented? If not, why not? We pre-
sumo that no one will question the fact
that it would be of great Importance to
sented by her products, such as timber,
oil, etc. 1t may be that some suppose
this is a big advertising scheme that will
only benefit Fort Worth, and that other
places will receive no benefit.
This is q mistake. Fort Worth and
the contiguous country will be benefited
to the extent of the exhibition made,
just as every other place will be. To IL
lustrate, should this county or a county
still further from the city of Fort Worth
make a better exhibit than Tarrant
county the gain to that remote county
would be in proportion to the exhibit.
Aside from the fact that the people will
be there to see for themselves, Fort
Worth Will be on an equal footing with
the remotest part of the state, and as
the people are not likely to travel
through the county of Tarrant 1T will not
have advantage over any other county.
The need Of this and, perhaps, every
other county in the state is good immi-
grafton and there is no better way to at
tract it than by advertising in the Spring
Palace. People will be there from every
portion of the United States and many OF
them will be looking out good places to
locate, and if we are wise we will at
once unite and go to work to get the pro-
ducts of our county 30 az to make the
best showing possible. The counties

THERE is demand for houses in Fort
Worth now, but the day may come when
Fort Worth will find it has houses enough;
and If it should, where win be the own
ers OF vacant lots. The western half of
this state is growing rapidly; it is bound
20 Fort Worth by sympathy and good
will; but if Fort Worth cannot or will
not handle the trade of the west, that
trade will be concentrated elsewhere,
aud when it is so concentrated there will
be no demand for more houses in Fort
Worth. Live merchants, appreoiat-
ing the commanding position of this
city and the growing trade of the west
come here in search of location. They
find no houses and go away to other
places. Time flies an the work of con-
centration goes on to the peril of the own
ers of the houses we have. Fort Worth
needs fifty more storehouses, and needs
them now. Fort Worth needs 500 more
residences, and needs them now. Fort
Worth needs a big hotel, and needs it
now. Blindness to these facts may
empty some of the houses we have.

THE GREAT HEcKER il.

Professor Hecker was born in Nassau,
Germany, and comes of family noted
in the musical world. Inherlting taste
and talents of high order. he began his
life work at the age of five. He was
placed under the instruction of the most
eminent masters of the age. So rapid
was his progress, that at the age of eight
years he was arranging music for his
fellow-students, at ten years playing
first violin in orchestra, and at fifteen
years its director, which position he held
Gas well as organist at the cathedraD for
five years. At the age Of twenty he was
induced to go to England. Upon his
arrival there, his talent was recognized
by the musical world, and he was imme-
diately rendered a position as civilian
bandmaster in the regular army. His
first work was to introduce better class
of music into army bands, and imme-
diRtely arranged numerous compositions
in such a mastery style as TO attract the
attention of musical critics and con-
nolsseurs OF the art throughout the
United Kingdom. His next work was
to improve the Instrumentation which he:
did with great credit to himself, and was
the first director to introduce and use
string BASES in military band, prao-
tice now so common in English bands.
During this time his compositions were
numbered by the hundreds; but to cap
the climax, at the age of twenty-five he
arranged the symphonies of Haydn and
Beethoven for military bands. This to
HIM was only in the contemplated intro
duction OF better music; but to the pro-
fession, the wild Illusion of an enthuias-
tic young bandmaster. They never
could be produced, and not a publisher
would publish them except at his per-
sonal expense. They were published,
and his rendition of them silenced all
opposition, and to-day the library Of no
first class band (of forty performers) is
complete without them. A great worker
and in the prime of life, the American
people may hope to hear many OF his
works under his own direction, and

that is necessary to carry on a thorough
investigation afterward Is big expense,
and as prevention is better than cure, it
might be true economy to employ experts
them. In the Kentucky investigation of
shortage extending back seven years
there was required seven experts at work
ten hours a day for three months, fifteen
clerks for thirty days and the daily as
sistanoe of three members of the COM
mittee. This showing proves that defal-
cation is an expensive luxury that should
be curtailed by precautionary means.

Comments on the City of Paris Breakdown.
LONDON, March 30.-The passengers
on the City of Paris speak very highly Of
the conduct of the officers and crew /,
both in the matter of managing the dis
abled ship and in that OF making the
passengers as hopeful and comfortable as
possible. At the same time there is q
general feeling that the giving way Of
the machinery was the result of the tre-
mendous strain put upon it in the desire
to beat the record. The officers of the
vessel were very retioent as to the exact
nature of the accident, and the passen-
gers have very hasty views on the sub
ject. There is general impression that
the affair was much more serious than
was given out or than the officers cared
to admit. If it turns out that
the breakdown was caused by excessive
pressure incident to ''reoord breaking -
The effect of the accident may be to
somewhat discourage that pastime.
Many of the passengers confess that
they now entertain less admiration
for great speed than they did
few days ago. Others say they would
take the fastest steamer afioat again
the next trip just as readily as before
and run their~chances. The little freight
steamer Alderssate comes IN for q good
many hard words from the passengers,
notwithstanding the delight with which
they hailed her first appearance She
is very slow craft, and made only
about FIVE knots an hour with big liner
in town. The passengers, who were
greatly fretted by their long detention,
were inclined to think the Aldengate
could have done better if pushed and
they allege that her captain made a hard
job of it deliberately, with the idea Of
getting more salvage out of the company
for his services. After landing at Queens
town early Sunday morning little time
was lost in getting special trains ready to
convey the passengers to Dublin. They
were hurried across ireland and thence
to HoI6head, where they arrived at 10
o'clock this evening and took two special
trains for London.

Correspondence OF the Gazette.
ARCHER CITY, TEX. March 27.-Arch-
or is a young city of great possibilities.
1t is in the center of large section of
country which is composed of the finest
agricultural land, and, when the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas is completed, it
will be the shipping point for this i'm
mense section. The "Katy'' is the
most direct and nearest route to the
markets of the North and East north of
Fort Worth, and this fact means
rapid and substantial growth
for Archer City. With full
appreciation of the situation the town
company have laid it out on an extensive
scale, with due regard to the needs of q
large city. A liberal plan has been ad-
hered to since the formation of this COM
pany in regard to settlers. Realizing
the fact that exhorbitant prices of real
estate retard the growth of a town, they
have sold lots so low that they have been
rapidly bought, and Archer City is al
ready taking on the appearance of a
busting burg. This wise policy viii be
continued, and the result will be easy to
foretell. Archer City commands the
situation, and in a few years VIII be one
of the largest cities in this part of the
state. B.

Brilliant Wedding at st. Matthew'S Cathedral
in Dallas.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
DALLAS, TEX. March 29.-The elite
of the CITY of Dallas were assembled at
st. Matthew's cathedral, on Wednesday
evening, the 26th inst. to witness ths

March, - the bridal party walked slowly
and gracefully up to the altar. The
bride was attired in white faille Fran
caise, en- train, made Princess Louise

decorated with orange blossoms. She
wore diamond ornaments and looked ra-
diantly beautiful as she passed up the
aisle, leaning upon the arm of her eldest
brother, MIR. Eugene NJ. Cannon of New
Orleans, who gave the bride away.
After the beautiful and impressive
marriage service the happy couple, ac-
companied by friends of the two families,
returned to the home of the bride, where
delightful was the evening spent that all
regretted when the good nights had to
be spoken. The handsome groom is well
known IN the business and social circles
of Dallas, and by his close application
and his genial and kindly disposition has
won for himself many friends who re-
joice at his good fortune in having thus
cnlled one of the fairest flowers that
bloomed in the garden of beauty.
The prayers and good wishes of a vast
number of relatives and friends will at
tend the newly welded pair on their
journey through life. Among the guests
attendant upon the wedding were the
following: Mr.. and Mrs. W. H. Can
non, Fort Worth; Miss Mamie Nc
Daniel, Fort Worth; Miss Bessie Adams,

ganize and send up exhibits to the Spring
Palace at Fort Worth. The second exhi-
Cass county certainly can show fine ex-
hlbit if the people will make an effort.
It will be a splendid advertisement for
our county. We might compete for some
of the premiums offered, not for the in
trinsic value Of the premiums themselves,
but for the advestis ement the county
would get before the thousands of people
of the East and North who will visit the
Palace. It would be the most profitable
investment that the owners of Cass
county lands could make. Below we
