AzIe's Entertainment.

Editor Gazette.
THE GAZETTE is an educator. Ii not only
sends girls to college, but has encouraged
the people by taking an interest in educa-
tional matters. The GAZETTE has reason
to feel justly proud of the great interest be-
ing manifested over the country in those
things which build up Internationally. ALE,
4 small town in Tarrant county. has long
been noted for its progressive and accom-
plished citizens. A literary society has had
an Organiza ton there for several years, and
has had many most interesting entertain
mcntS.
This society had projected picnic for
last Saturday to be given at that really
wonderful canyon and most lovely spot
called Big Springs, near the town Of ALE.
However that troublesome diviner, F'os-
ter, VINO seems to have d corner on the
weather, had predicted, and so it was that
a rain came, and the picnic was failure.
But the society had prepared d programme
OF literary entertainment to be given at
night, which it gave at the ALE college
building, and which was decided success.
The following programme was rendered:
Address-Senator J. j. Jarvis.
Medley
Tableau-Scene in an Artist S Studio
Farce-GoId Fish-Three Acts.
Tableau-Preparing for Thanksgiving.
-Dynanlite-Three Acts
Tableau-Rocll of Ages
SOng-Spanish Chorus
Tabieau--Hall OF Statues
This was interspersed with the best of
music. Senator Jarvis made a short but
pointed address, which was much appre-
ciated. The medley, composed of various
old household songs, was well received,
especially the favorite Southern airs, Dixie
and Bonnie Blue Flag.
In the farce, Gold Fish, Dick" the IA
nous boy, was q brilliant success.
The farce, Dynamite was good. The girls
were successful in the characters of old
maids trying to catch the doctor
4 party from Fort Worth says the best
thing of the evening was the Spanish cho-
rus, by FIVE young ladies in Spanish cos
tune. The taDleau received q hearty APP
plause. The music, led by Mrs. Smith and
Miss Myers of ALE, and Mrs. Nioreland of
Vernon, who assisted in the entertainment,
was especially good. The stage was elab-
Orately decorated with panels, after the
plan CT the Spring Palace decorations. The
members wore hand painted badges. This
entertainment would have been an honor to
any town. ". i. WILLIAMS.

Fort Worth Meats.

Yesterday W. H. Salge. a prominent
hotel man of Austin, was in the city. having
come up for the purpose of contracting with
the Fort Worth packing company TO furnish
hams, breakfast bacon lard, etc, for his
new hotel. He said to a GAZETTE reporter
yesterday that the outside world did not
fully appreciate what an institution the
packing-house is. He has heretofore pur-
chased all these supplies from Kansas City,
but says he prefers the Fort Worth article,
as the meat is sweeter and in many respects
far superior TO the Kansas City product
Besides he believes in Texans patronizing
Texan industries. Mr.. Salge left for his
home last night and guests at his hotel will
hereafter eat Texas meat, packed by a
Texas packing-house.

labor expended on it and the value OF the
feathers of which it is made. 1t once dec

of the Sandwich islands. The yellow feath

much more valuable than gold. The kings
