Forty men will be employed b. this

bringing wealth to the owners and fa-rs
to Fort Worth.
THE NEW COLLEGE.
Under their contract with the Cham.
berlin investment company the Nslbo,
dist Episcopal church South Is to begin
the work of construction on its university
at Arlington Heights within forty dav,
and it is probable that il will be CON-
menoed even before that time The
buildings are to cost at least SI01 ll1.
The institution will not be- confined n
one building but will consist of severe.
smaller structures after the cottage plan,
they to be ultimately joined together in
one grand whole. This is the
most approved modern method for
the arrangement of such institutions, AMI
there will be nothing about this Uuiver-
sity that does not conform to the lata,,
improved types. There Will be six Of thu
buildings put up at once.
THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Some of the warmest advocates OF the
chamber of commerce IN Fort
Worth were on the streets yes-
terday working tooth and Laa
for the support of the citizens to the in
stitutiOn, and their IabOrs were not il
vain. Another such day. work ana Oh.
success of the scheme on substantial.
financial basis Will be assured. There
Is no way to organize in any cause lur %

TIE BUILDING OUTLOOK.
While Fort Worth is in crying Heed Of
residences of any kind, and is therefore
glad to accept and welcome anything IL
the shape of q house, yet the charac.s.
of the structure is q matter of interest 10
the public and should engage the earuss:
attention of the builder. Fort Worth
people are accustomed to the sigh.
of frame residence buildings. They
have become a civic characterize,
so to speak, and are considered as meet
ing all the requirements, as veCari
material, design aud oTnamenta:i0u.
Yet when a stone or brick residence
meets the eye, it impresses one rs having
a substantially and sOlidIty lacking in
its neighbors of frame. These things are /
not of weight with Southern born people,
who are used to the frames, and COnside,
them as meeting all the necessities; bu.
to the visitor from the North they speak
with peculiar eloquence. 1t is crafty
ing, then, to note that several stone
and brick residences Of more
than ordinary beauty are being \
erected in the city. Many Of \
these have already been reported. Now
comes Summit avenue with q list Of
three fine ones, each to cost not less than
S25, 900. Hon. Hyde Jennings is arTaug-
ing to build on the bluff, the material 70
be of stone and pressed brick, making
together a handsome building. W.
Moore will put $50. 200 into a pressed
brick, aud Mrs. Josephine Ryan is put
ting up another at the same cost, stone
beng the material.
NOTES OF PROGRESS.
A rapid transit line to penetrate the re-
cent purchase adjacent to the Union de-
pot is the next movement. The gentle
men who made that deal appreciate the
fact that cities build in the direction
where best transit facilities are afforded,
and they will move along with the pro-
cessiOn.
When handsome union depot, such as
the city deserves and needs, has been
erected at Fort Worth, then can the citi-
zen who returns after an absence from
the city point with pride to the ap-
proaohes to his native town. He can
prepare to do the pointils with pride
business as soon as he feels like it.
Forty teams are at work on the dam
for the new lake at Arlington Heights.
The dam ia to be $50 feet long, 100 feet
wide at the bottom, forty feet on top and
forty-two feet high. 1t will make
body of water covering twenty aud
acres, and will be finished
III forty-ftve favorable working days.
Fears are entertained that the city may Z
not have completed the work of grading
Seventh street in time to allow the
Arlington Heights street railway
people to lay their rails and pu.
their cars IN operation by the opening oH
the Spring Palace. The cars will be
here on April 81. The bids for grading
the street viii be opened April 81.
