THEY ARE WELL PLEASED.
The National Butchers Assoeiation-Its
Executive Committee Inspects Fort
Worth and Passes Judgment.

J. F. Beilstein of Pittsburg, chairman of
the executive committee of the National
butchers protective association, accom-
panied by Mr.. William Hockenberger of
Allegheny City, Pa, and Mr.. A. Gardner of
Dallas, members of the committee, arrived
here yesterday morning and called upon the
Chamber of Commerce. The visit was in
response to an invitation extended by the
directory of the chamber.
Mr. Beilstein explained the object of the
visit. Said he: ''Our association numbers
over two thousand members, all of whom
are wholesale or retail butchers. We have
long believed that by establishing a slaugh-
ter-house and refrigatory at some con-
venienu point near the cattle country, we
would be able to supply our associates with
meats at reasonable prices: and be indie
pendent of the Big Four combine at Chi
cage. which now dominates the market.
This belief has now cryStalized into action,
rs at the last meeting of the national asso
citation the committee of which l am the
chairman was appointed with instructions
to visit Texas and report to the association
at its meeting in May, next, the best place
in that state at which to locate the abattoir
and refrigatory.'
Secretary Clarke received the visitors,
and during the forenoon conducted them
over the city to points OF interest. The
huge arteSian wells on fuckers Hill and at
the brewery and natatorium were each
seen, the water supply forming pertinent
part of the objects of the visit. The eX-.
ceptional railway facilities enjoyed ty Fort
Worth were carefully inquired into by the
visitors and fully explained by Secretary
Clarke.
Il am surprised" said Mr.. Hockenber-
ger, ''to find such large and splendid city.
had no idea that Fort Worth was so i'm
portaDt point
A trip to the roof of the Hurley build
ing, under the chaperonage of Col. Hurley,
caused more Explanations of wonderment'
to escape from the lips of the visitors as
they looked upon a city of ten years
growth.
After dinner at the Pickwick the party

NJ. G. Ellis, J. G. Mccarthy. A. T. Byers,
DR.. w. H. Adams, Martin Casey, A. W.
Caswel and others, most OF whom accom-
panied the visitors to the packing-h house
and stockyards. No notice of the visit had
been given the packery, and SO only the !,
ordinary, everyday work was to be seen,
very much curtailed by slack supply Of
cattle and hogs. What was seen was
enough to satisfy the visitors, who saw 100
hogs slaughtered and dressed in an average
time of forty seconds per hog from the
time when he sang his death song at the
gate to the time when his dressed.
cleaned and dissected carcass was hanging
in the cooling-room. Manager George N
Barnum took. charge of the party, and

The Theater.

The theater-going public of Fort Worth
were given an opportunity yesterday of
seeing r. D. N1acLean and Miss
Marie Prescott in two plays which
brought out the leading qualities of each.
The Juliet of Miss Prescott is a sweet and
tender one, an admirable Interpretation of
Shakespeare's loveliest heroine. Probably
her strongest work is in the balcony sdene,
where she .portrays beautiful
girl wrapped in an absorbing love.
In some places there is room for improve
ment, especially in information, at times dur
ing the play her utterance being indistinct,
though this may probably be accounted fol
by the outside noises. She has that fine thing
in woman, 4 low, sweet voice, yet it is apt to
initiate against her somewhat on occasions
like yesterday afternoon. At night she as
sumed the role of Senona, the wife of
Spartacus, and in this play her lines were
read clearly and distinctly. She is
a very conscientious little woman and
throws her whole soul into the
work. A great improvement is noticeable
in her methods, all her work being charac
teriZed by stronger delivery, and free from
the eye-winking which three years ago
rather tended to mar her Interpretation OF
Virginia.
AS to r. D. MacLean, he presented a
pleasing Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet, Yet
appeared TO the best advantage in Spart
acuS. This is the lamented McCullough's
play, and was purchased by Mr.. MacLeaE
after the tragedian's death, and
in assuming the role Of, Spart-
acus the mantle of the great tragedian
seems to have fallen upon his shoulders.
Admirably suited to the role in voice,
physique and action. his rendition last
night was 4 vivid and powerful one. 1t is
full of manly dignity and virile strength,
but gentle and tender in the softer passions
Probably the strongest portion of his work
is the defiance to the prsetor in tie arena
scene and in scene first of the last act, when
Informed of the crucifxion of his soldiers
he utters the famous sentence, Il swear for
this to make Rome howl
All the costumes are rich and appropri-
ate, and the supporting company stronger
one than usually supports such people. The
scenery is good, the arena scene being SUI
peror to those usually presented MIR
MacI.ean is young man, but an
ambitious one. His aim is
high, and it requires more
than ordinary courage to follow in the foot
steps of Booth and Mccullough, yet he has
successfully demonstrated he has reason
for that faith in himself that in less than
half decade has placed him among the
foremost tragedians. In this he is aided
by nature in the physical qualifications
and brings to his support a superior intel
ligence and fine Judgment He has avoided
the pitfalls that have wrecked so many as
pirates to legitimate roles, and has every
prospect of rising to the summit of his pro-
feSSion.

under his guidance every portion OF the
vast establishment was thrown open TO in
spection. The interminable catacombS Of
the cold-storage department were gone
through, tie sausage factory, canning de-
p.,rtment, and all the adjunctS of lard MAX
ing, curing, packing, etc, thoroughly
viewed. The place was being shown, not
to the ordinary curious visitor, but to COM
petent Judges and when at the end Of the
tour the party stood around table on the
lower floor and sampled some of the canned
products, opinions found expression.
''You have not asked an opinion from
me-" said Chairman Beilstein, ''but l an
going to say that ! am delighted. This is
the finest and most complete establishment

at is q revelation. ''Why, should we locate
here, an establishment like this would save
US thousands OF dollars -.
The Union stochyardS were next visited,
and again the visitors expressed unqualified
praise OF the admirable arrangements, facil-
tiles, drainage, etc.
The party returned to the city at $50 p.
m., having to leave on the 6 40 p. m. train.
My visit has deeply impressed me with
the importance of Fort WORTH" said MIR.
Beilstein.
Il trust it will shape your action said
Secretary Clarke.
said Mr.. Beilstein. I'VE can only report
which, in our Judgment, is the best place to
locate
DO not forget" said Secretary Clark,
s'that Fort Worth is nearest to the cattle
region; nearest the corn fields; has the
greatest number of trunk line railroads an
unlimited supply of purest water, and the
finest packing-house in the country where
your cattle can be slaughtered in the clean
est and best manner, and at the least cost.
We have endeavored to show you some
thing of our city during these few hours.
We think that your association is guided by
level-headed business men who can dis
tinguish between the lasting benefits to be
derived by locating at place near base
of supplies, where is found the best rail
road facilities for speedy shipment to mar
ket; and the temporary gain Of a few dollars
proffered by some place anxious for fame at
YOUR expense Think over what you have
seen, gentlemen, and when you are ready to
talk business you will find us, like the
pacllery you have just left-able to bear in
spection-ready to act.''
I am well pleased with Fort Worth"
said Chairman Beisteln.
''And so am L. added Mr.. ocllenberger.
The scheme proposed is to place bonds of
the national association before subordinate
associations, to be taken by members, and
to raise sufficient funds to erect half mil
lion dollar plant and provide running ex-
penses at the start. With membership of
over 1000 butchers it is claimed that mar
ket for all the products of the abattoir and
refrigatory already exists. The gentlemen
said that the necessary funds could be
easily raised.
