The American AthIetes ABROAD

LONDON, June 20.-The team representing
the New York Manhattan Athletic Club now
on visit to this country, made its debut at
Huddersfield to-day in the presence of an i'm
mense crowd, it being estimated that fully
$4,000 persons were in attendance. The
American athletes had apparently not re-
covered from the fatigue incident to their sea
voyage and did not appear to be
in first-rate form. In the 120-yards dash
Llther Carey won the opening heats, but
lost the final heat In the scratch 220-yards
race Carey was more fortunate, finishing first
by two yards. The quarter-mile handicap run
was also won by a Manhattan athlete, ii. l..
Dadman scoring the race in an easy manner.

be about the beginning of autumn, the i'm

Seasonable Delicacies.

At no other season of the year is good cook
Ing so necessary to our health as during the
heated season, and by good cooking is meant
both the preparing and serving of food. That
is, all that we eat should not only be served
WE'LL but that before being served 1t should be SO
prepared as to not only insure the satisfaction
of the palate, but in addition the absolute
safety of the stomach. Therefore that one
who so caters to our palate as to secure our
stomach deserves to be heralded as a genuine
benefactor of humanity, and such benefac-
tor we pronounce our genial host Yeoman, of
the Philadelphia Oyster House, 513 Eleventh
street northwest. The reputation of this
popular resort is so we'll and SO highly estab-
lished that all is said which can be said when
we say that every delicacy obtainable at this
season is served by Mr.. Yeoman. No expense
no ingenuity, is spared by HIM In obtaining

in the history of the West. The whole

in the history of the West. The whole
country is tributary to Denver"
Mr.. Duncan is right as to the unex-
ampled growth of the Panhandle, but
if he is correctly quoted, in saying that
'the whole country is tributary to Den
yer" he makes a very rash assertion,
and one that he cannot maintain.
The Panhandle country can become
tributary to Denver only by feeding
that city with its wheat and drawing
its supplies therefrom. To do this re-
quires reversal of the usual laws OF
commerce. In seeking market, Texas
wheat goes away from Denver, and to-
ward the sea. When the Panhandle
and other wheat-producing districts OF
Texas become large exporters, as they
will become, and very soon, that wheat
will go to Liverpool by way Of Texas
seaport. 1t will not go to Denver.
Neither will the Panhandle pay
tribute to Denver as a purchaser of
supplies. Denver wholesalers get their
stocks from the East, via Galveston and
the Fort Worth and Denver road, or
over some OF the through lines, the
cost OF transportation being the same
as via Galveston and the Fort Worth
and Denver road. Can the Denver
jobbers haul freight from Galveston
through the Panhandle, store it, and
send it back to the Panhandle, in COM
petition with Texas jobbing centers?
In other words, is it possible for a Den
Yer house to freight carload OF goods
from New York through Galveston and
Fort Worth to Denver. 500 miles be-
yond this city, and send these goods
hack to Texas, 500 miles, and sell them
in competition with goods that are sent
direct from Galveston or Fort Worth,
which have not gone over that long
and expensive way?
Denver is good town, and the Pan
handle is a fine country, but that is all
there is between them. Fort Worth is
the base of supply for the Panhandle
country, and not Denver. That is
settled fact

There cannot be doubt that when
the people understand how the bill al
fects titles, they will be as eager for its
repeal as they are for reform in finance
and other matters. Homeseekers de-
string TO locate in Texas will be de-
TERED from doing so when they learn
how land titles have been affected by
this bill. If they and others hesitate
to buy for that reason, holders cannot
sell, and that means stagnatiOn and de-
probation, with the usual retinue OF
disastrous consequences.
1t is easy enough to amend the law
so as to adapt it 10 the needs and re-
quirements OF the situation; so as to
forbid alien ownership Of land, but not
alien money. 1t is one thing 10 say
that English or Scotch capitalists shall
not come to Texas and gobble up mill
ions Of acres Of land 70 rent it as they
do in Great Britain, Or keep it out OF
the market for those in search of
homes. The land should be saved for
the latter, for our own people: and
that is precisely what the people asked
for. But it is quite another thing TO
say that loan association which may
have among its stockholders single
alien, shall not, when land mortgage
has to be foreclosed for money due and
not paid, purchase or acquire a valid
title to the land in question Nobody
asked for that, Nobody wants it.
Such corporations which are here to
lend money, and not to acquire land,
should have the right to acquire title.
but be also required to part with the
land within given time. The law
should be amended in this particulars
soon as possible

Some of the Reasons Why Fort Worth IS
Going steadily to the Front.
Transfers.

There are two cities in the United States
that stand out boldly as towers of financial
strength and commercial solidity in these
times of depression. They are Chicago and
Fort Worth. Chicago is able TO do what
she is doing because she was fortunate in
securing the Worlds fair. Fort Worth is
progressing to-day because she is not over.
built, because her factory enterprises have
been deveveloped on such magnificent
scale, because her real estate values have
not been inflated, because she has never had
boom and consequently no reaction from Il
boom, because Fort Worth has more active
banking capital than any city in Texas ac-
cording TO population, because the country
from which she draws sustenance is the
new and boundless West which is securing
all the immigration and is rapidly develop
ing, and because her people have confidence
in the city and its institutions. Fort Worth
can celebrate the national holiday to-day
with q clear conscience and feeling remark
ably well.
Fort Worth paid off some more of her
debts yesterday. Six releases OF vendors
lien notes were filed for record, aggregating

One of the building and loan associations

used TO build residence, and another

CAUSES OF HARD TIMES.

From Midlothian comes postal card
tearing the request
! Your views respectfully requested on the
! cause Of the present depressed condition of
the country. B. b. LANGHAM EFT AL.
There is more than cause. There
are causes. The GAZETTE will do the
| hest it can to name a few Of these.
| !. Lack of confidence. This we be-
lieve s the real and chief cause Of the
financial stringency. There Is as
much money in the country as there
was year ago, and more than there
was two years ago, when money could
be had easily upon good collateral
The collapse of The speculative move
ment in South American securities,
which led to the downfall OF the house

the extent o. $4,000, 600 or $50, 900, 900.
scared the financial world which ex-
pecteG a general crash, and prepared
TO meet it by boarding up money.
Men lost confidence in investments,
and put their money away instead of
turning it loose in circulation. The
money is in the country, but it is doing
no good because it is not performing
the functions of money. When the
owners Of this locked-up wealth think
it is safe to TURN it loose, We shall be
able to get some of it TO do business
with.
,. The Mckinley bill. When it was
certain that this bill would become d
law, and greatly advance the tariff on
imported goods, far-sighted importers
made extraordinary orders on Europe
and brought over immense importa-
tons to get ahead of the new tariff. To
pay for these goods and the tariff
duties on them required unusual sums
OF money TO be drawn from the banks,
most Of this money going TO Europe,
and causing drain upon our financial
sources at the same time that the Bar
ing failure caused the lookup of the
money that was so much needed.
3. Poor crops last year, and compar-
atively small expectations to Europe.
4. The extravaganza OF a billion-dol-
lar congress and high taxes.
These, we believe, are the main
causes of the hard times" The first
enumerated cause is the chietest of the
lot. If people only had confidence and
would use their money, instead of keep
ing it put away, there would be no
more complaint about "hard times"
than We generally hear, for there are
some men who are always talking
about the times being hard.
