For the Committee .


WASHINGTON, March 3.-On motion
of Mr.. Hoar the bill fixing the salaries
of the several judges of the United States
district courts at $4,000 per annum was
taken up for consideration and MIR.
Hoar spoke in advocacy of it. A like
bill, be said, had passed the senate four
or five times by large majorities, and it
was therefore unn ecessary for him to de-
tain the senate ty arguing in its favor.
MIR. George opposed the bill, saying he
had very strong objections to its pas
sage, but that he had very little hope
that anything which he might say would
have the effect OF preventing its pas
sage. 1t was the first bill in the history
of the government in which the salaries
of all the district judges were made the
same.
The bill was then passed-yeas, SO;
nays, 10.
At 2:20 the senate resumed considera-
ton OF the Blair educational bill and
was addressed by Mr.. SDooner.
On motion of Mr.. Jones OF Arkansas
the house bill to change and fix the time
for holding the terms of district and cir
cult courts at Texarkana, Ark, was
amended AMI passed.
After an executive session the senate
adjourned.

With Sadness and Regret.

The following resolutions were passed
By the Cumberland Presbyterian Sunday
school on the death of J. W. Fender:
1t ba7iug been the pleasure of Diyine
Providence to remove from cur midst
our assistant superintendent. Mr.. J. w.
Fender, we, the Cumberland Presby-
terrain Sunday-school, in session assem-
bled, adopt the following resolutions:
That with sadness of heart aud sincere
regret We bow our heads in humble sub
mission to the will OF Him who doeth all
things for the best; and whilst We feel
the deprivation OF his services in our
school, yet we know that God hath called
him from his labors here to q reward
thet q life of well-spent years has fully
earned. Not only do We miss him in our
Sabbath-school, but fully realize the
great loss that the city of Fort Worth
has sustained by the taking off of one of
her most esteemed citizens; and that the
church mourns the demise of a devoted
and faithful servant.
To the family of deceased, in the hour
of their grief, We tender our sincere
sympathies. W. T. FAKES.

Special to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX, March 3.-The
grand jury for the March term of the
Forty-ffth district court was empan-
nelied to-day. Judge Noonan was un-
usually severe on all forms of law-break-
ing. IN his charge to the jurors he told
them that the laws of the state had for
too long been openly violated and defied in
San Antonio, particularly with reference
TO gaming, prostitution, variety theaters,
open saloons on Sunday, etc., aud
that the jurors, if they be honor
able men and good citizens,
would see to it that the proper
corrections be applied. eff however"
continued Judge Noonan, "your
cousciences are so scared and singed by
the fires OF so-oalled public sentiment
that you fail or neglect to report the vio-
lators Of laws in the community then you
will stand before the world as fools or
knaves, and will use every expedient
known to the law to have yon succeeded
by men who will do their duty

They Will Meet Soon in Fort Worth to Cele-
bFatP.

yesterday and called the attention of a
GAZETTE man to the fact that on April
20 the association Of Texas veterans meets
in this city to celebrate In appropriate
mannsr the anniversary of the day of

OF many men whose names will be handed
down in history as connected prominently
with the most stirring times in the annals
of Texas, and OF others, old men, who
have helped to build up the state to its
present Importance, politically and in
dustrlally. They will be in Fort Worth in
force, being governed to some extent by
the rates made by the railroads, and they
deserve the most open handed hospitality
of the citizens.

needle would scratch the surface of the

1t has even been attempted to watch q
cashier open safe from across the
road through field glass of powerful
magnifying intensity, and thus learn
the combination.
The real genius in this line, how.
ever, was the man who could walk to
safe, turn the combination knob, close
his eyes, listen attentively, and within
five minutes open the door. The police
were astonished at the deft act. but the
man smilingly exhibited his finger
nails, trimmed close to the quick. and
claimed that his sense Of touch was SO
delicate that he could feel the slightest
vibrations of the knob, and thus deter
mine the combination numbers, al

piyot-center by burglar almost as
proficient, until the slightest vibration
In the street without would affect q
water level he had adjusted to the safe.
Then he manipulated the knob. caught
inside vibrations, guessed the comb
nation from the same, and opened the
safe.
Safe burglars are fewer recently
than in years past. Better police pro-
lection and trusted watchmen defeat
the criminals, and chilled steel plates
and hingeless doors demand time and
risk which the burglars would rather
devote TO train or bank robberies.

was done, until one of these unique
implements was accidentally discov-
cred in the possession of burglar.
Time-locks which are so adjusted
that they cannot be opened until a
specified time, and the new swinging
door safe have done much to protect
banks. An almost impregnable safe
is now in use. It has O door that is
hingeless, which, when open, is swung
on Independent arms of steel. It has
rubber Ranges, is made of some sixty
alternate plates of iron and steel
welded transversely, and the burglar
bores through one plate only to break
his drill point on the next one. The
inside iron safe box is formed of con-
tinuous roll of steel that forms the
back Of the safe, and, air-proof and
fire-proof, it deies the burglar, unless
he has several days in which to force it.
Aside from the use of tools, the burg
lar can only rely on opening safe or
vault by learning the combination.
This has been done by uncrewing the
disc and placing piece of paper
under it, the combination disc marking
the paper with circles and also by ap-
plying fine needle to a piece of wax,
and adjusting it to the disc. The

with caution, for the mere possession
of burglars tools is considered a
felony. Some time since, a Chicago
craftsman was arrested with the finest
kit of tools ever captured in that city.
They comprised q marvel of beauty,
utility, and compactness. There were
sectional jimmies or crowbars, so made
that in separate pieces they could be
carried in vest pockets. There were
drills of the finest temper and manu-
facture, steel saws and chisels that
cost many hundreds of dollars, muffied
hooks attached to ropes to cross from
roof to roof, and steel and silk ladder
a hundred feet long, and yet so COM
pact that it could be hidden in coat
sleeve. There was, too, five hundred
dollars worth of dynamite, the burglar
having broken into powder-house to
secure it. When arrested. he claimed
that the drills were for use in mining,
and the ladders were mere frees
capes, and he actually got free of the
charge of having burglars implements
in his possession.
The modus operandi of safe-bur-
glary is easily described. The safe is
"spotted," and the store where it is
located is watched closely for several
days and nights. Having left o man

didn't become her, and the consequence
was she looked quite as old as her
mother. 1t is wonderful to see how be-
coming tones had blotted out the twenty
years difference in their ages, and it only
goes to show how careful we must be in
choosing shades and colors, az well as
shapes and styles.
The lady in the initial wears very
stylish and pretty costume, the dress
being an old rose l)edu de sole made in a
simple way, with bands and stripes on
the sleeves, as well as large buttons of
white silk. The sunshade is startling but
effective, being Of maize silk gauze, en-
broidered with moss-green butterflies,
The hat is in white lace, trimmed with
black feathers. The force of the en-
semble may be readily imagined. 1t
makes up very appropriate costume
for grand stand, garden party, or regat-
ia, and would be sure to divide honors
with the quieter but more elegant toilets.
l notice that ladies of fashion cling
most tenaciously to floral hats and gaudy
parasols, even when they manifest an
inclination to dress in quiet gowns.
While these fower-trimmed hats are
very pretty in their place, they are dam
gerous headgear for a woman no longer
young-accentuating age as they do.
The gaudy paraSolS are almost always
allowable, although they, too, serve to
underscore lack of freshness and bloom
Naturally man expects to find some
thing worth seeing under one of these
brilliantly colored and richly ornamented
sunshades, and, in his disappointment,
he is very apt to magnify the shock he
has received.
"LooS at that lady in the white serge,
over there. / mean the one with the
magnificent sunshade," said /, to male
friend. "Don't you think she is rather
fine-looking?"
II did before l saw her." was the
reply.
The second illustra ton pictures a very
becomingly shaped dress--a combination
of steel-gray pedu dc sole with white
crepe dc sole, embroidered with dark
green and pale-green stripes; pale-green
large balls and dark-green small ones,
producing an extremely eccentric but
most pleasing effect. With this costume
are worn gray gloves and gray straw
hat. trimmed with pale-pink roses and
leaves.
Gray hats have been very modish this
season, especially when set off by pink
flowers or feathers Lilac and white,
and pale green and pink, too, have been
fayOfte combinations. | observed
great many black dresses at Monmouth
Park the other day, but they were in al
most every case relieved by scarlet jack

coming combination of this style may be
made by having the bodice in heliotrope
