Professor Pitzlin, the Athlete.

Professor Paul J. Pitzlin, the well-known
all-round athlete, called at The GAZETTE
last evening, being in the city from Vernon
en- route TO the Dallas fair. Professor
Pitzlin has just discharged class at Yer
non, and in addition to seeing the fair, his
business in Dallas is to arrange 4 wrestling
match between Turner of Dallas and Capt
Shields, formerly of this city, but now in
Vernon. The latteris anxious for match
during the fair, and Professor Pitzlin says
the captain was never in better condition
than now. The professor says he himself
would be pleased to arrange i bout with
someone where a sufficient purse can be
placed, but that he will not enter the ring
for small sum. He is following teach
ing now, and will go TO Calvert next
Wednesday, where he has class of fifteen,
and that after a months service there he
will be in Fort Worth.

When the west bound Texas and Pacific
rolled in from Dallas last night a man was
brought. out on stretcher, put into car
riage and brought up town to 4 room on the
south side of the square. 1t is learned that
during the trip from Dallas ght occurred
between party of four or five men on one
side, whose names could not be learned,
and man named Kern from Gainesville,
i'll which the latter received broken leg
and few other bruises. H. was taken to
4 friends room here and the leg put in
place by physician, and when Il GAZETTE
man called on him last night he was suffer-
ing but little pain, and hoped to be able to
go on to Gainesville in day or so The
nature of the difficulty it was impossible to
learn. Mr.. kern's employer was present
when the reporter called, and said MIR.
Kern was every inch gentleman and
highly respected, but had simply been as
saulted by half dozen men on the train
and received broken leg as "a result of be-
ing knocked over and between the seats in
the coach

THE WORLDS FAIR.
The Future of the Association-Candidat
Mentioned for the Presidency

Mentioned 1Or the frPsldenCy,
sWhat effect will the resignation of Col.
Hurley as president have upon tine Texas
Worlds fair association" asked a GAZETTE
reporter yesterday of Secretary Bryan.
''No bad effect, hope, as the report of
President Hurley. which will be submitted
to the directors of the Texas association on
Thursday at Dallas. will show the affairs
Of the association TO be in a most prosper
Gus condition.
''Those associated with Col Hurley in
this movement regret YER, much the step
he has taken, as it is entirely due to his
lndomitable energy that the association has
passed successfully The experimental Pc
Rod and has been established upon a firm
and prosperous basis. Few men in Texas
could have accomplished as much, and
whoever succeeds Col. Hurley will be COM
PEELED to share with him the honor of what
ever success may ultimately attend the en-
terprise.''
WHO is mentioned as his probable sue
cessor?'
The names of several prominent men of
Texas have been mentioned in this conuec-
ton. but the selection will De lett with the
directors, ard l am not advised as to their
choice. In fact, L don't believe that the
directors have yet had time to canvass the
matter of a successor to the presidency
Whoever is elected, however, will have
comparatively smooth sailing, as a very
thorough organization has been perfected
throughout the state, and the machinery is
moving in splendid order"
Have you heard anyone prominently
mentioned as President Hurley's sue
ceSSorl'
.'Oh yes, have heard the names of sew
eral prominent gentlemen mentioned, each
of whom would make splendid executive
head of the Texas organization. The di-
rectors need not go out of their board TO
find splendid material for the pres idency,
either in the person of Col. X. B. Parrot of
Waco, Hon. W. c. Connor OF Dallas or Col.
II. B. Andrews of San Antonio. l don't
know that either of these gentlemen are
candidates, or that they would accept the
position if rendered them. I do know,
however. that either of than would make
an excellent chief executive officer for this
important undertaking.
.'Outside of the directory I have heard
mentioned in connection with the presi-
dency the names of Col. Walter Gresham
of Galveston, Governor R. B. Hubbard of
Tyler and Col. Henry Exall of Dallas
There is no lack of good material in Texas,
the only difficulty being in selecting a man
who would be willing to devote the time
and attention to the enterprise that it would
require in carrying it TO successful cul-
mination.
D"No, Col. Hurley did not resign because he
anticipated failure, on the contrary, he is
quite sanguine of the intimate success of
the movement. His reasons for resigning
are entirely of private nature, he finding

"The Needs of the Hour"

The Ladies' associated charities some
time since procured room for the storage
of secondhand clothing and made call on
the good people of Fort Worth for contribu-
lions along that line, but there seems TO be
4 misunderstanding somewhere, as the re-
sponSeS have been very meager.
Now, ladies of Fort Worth, will you not
overlook your own and your children'S
wardrobes and sort out those garments that
are outgrown, or of which you have grown
tired, but are too good to be thrown away,
and send them to US at once? We want
overlooking and Undertaking, girls
clothing and boys clothing, headwear and
footwear. Cloaks that have the newness
worn off or are out of fashion viii keep out
cold as well as if new, and hosiery that has
served one term for big people may be
made to serve another when cut down for
little restless feet that may otherwise have
to go bare and be pinched into purpeness
by the bitter cold.
Anything that has been used by your
children, if not worn out, may help TO keep
comfortable the little ones of less fortu-
nate sister.
Our especial work is to find the needy on
one hand and the wherewithal to make
them comfortable on the other, and to bring
the two together, make kind of local APP
piication, and we earnestly ask your coop
Grafton.
1t will cost you nothing but little time
and trouble, and the God of the widow, the
orphan, the destitute and the afflicted, will
bless you.
Send your contributions to Mrs Murray
southwest corner of the block on which the
Christian church stands, with Taylor street
on the west and Sixth street on the south.
Do not forget the regular meeting of the
association on the afternoon of the first
Friday in November. We cordially invite
every LADY, in Fort Worth to join US, and
urgently request those whose names are
already enrolled to remember the time, and
make no other engagements therefor.

Given Two Years.

Barney Morrison was brought back from
Graham yesterday, where he had been on
trial for theft, United States case He
was declared guilty and given two years in
the penitentiary. Barney has been tried
on lunacy charge and acquitted, but he is
not the brightest fellow by any means. He
has spells he calls them, during which
times he is hard to manage, and has given
Jailer Elliott and Sheriff Richardson no end
of trouble. But of recent weeks Barney
has been on his good behavior, only little
laxative and boisterous. During his trial
at Graham Barney had s'spell,' and it re-
quired the services of four men to rid him
OF it, ard they had their hands full He is
4 powerful fellow, and will weigh 200
pounds. United States Marshal George A.
Knight came in with him yesterday.

A Bows MiSban.

Yesterday Martin McGrave's little
twelve year-old boy was around the patrol
wagon shed while Hickey one of the pa
troll wagon horses, was being doctored, and
by some means the horse stepped on the
boys foot, crushing it badly. The little
fellow was given medical attention, and
stood the pain with wonderful nerve.
Hickey is one of the pets Of the firemen,
and has been ailing for day or so, and yes
terday it was thought he had made his last
run. He is beautiful sorrel, and was one
of the first horses bought for the E. M.
Daggett hose company, but has been re-
lieved of fire service and now answers to
the ''hoodlum'' call.

Since presented here last season the play
has undergone some improvements; new
music and specialties have been added The
Omaha Daily Bee gave the following excel

Despite the rain last evening
large audience assembled at the
Grand to witness the performance
of Z. D. Stairs new American
character comedy, "A Barrel of Money!
and it is fair to say that it proved genuine
surprise in theatrical achievement, both
mechanically and artistically. Every person
in the theater expressed their delight by
liberal applause of the performance and by
favorable comment as they were leaving the
house. The company is strong and well
balanced, and the performance went as

Another Galley Slave.

e. G.. Stare, with "A Barrel of Money"
is at the Mansion. and last evening a GA
ZETTE reporter enjoyed very pleasant chat
with him. He is a gentleman of extensive
travel, and one who keeps his eyes open as
he journeys through life. AS 4 result he
has a fund of anecdote, and his running
comments Upon men and affairs are not only
interesting but characterized by some good
sound reasoning. He is an experienced
newspaper man, having passed several
years in the harness in Michigan, and is
consequently interested in the galley
slaves. He thinks seriously of leaving the
road at the end of the season and again en-
tering the drudgery of Journalism.

WILSON'S MINsTRELs.-The genial George
Wilson will be in Fort Worth tomorrow
evening and the occasion will be marked by
an excellent performance of minstrelsy, for
which George Wilson and his merry band
of burnt cork artists are famous. Wilson
is as graceful as ever, ana while he has for
gotten none of his old accomplishments, he
has added several very praiseworthy
features to his performance The singing
is greatly superior to the average minstrel
songs, the dancing is entertaining in the ex-
IRENE, and the other specialties of the per-
formance of decided interest.
Friday and Saturday and Saturday mat
inee, October 80 and 81, the only Gus Viii
liamS will come here with his highly sue
cessful and most amusing comedy, ''Kep-
piers Fortunes 1t has crowded the best
theaters everywhere. OF star and play the
Pittsburg pa Leader says: The clever
German comedian, Gus Williams, drew Il
large audience to the Bijou last evening to
see him in his play, ''Keppler's Fortunes"
Mr.. Williams impersonates the character
of butcher in poverty and in riches and
again in the simplicity of his old home in "a
manner quite natural. In fact, Gus is so
well known that he stands among the best
in his own peculiar line. His burlesque
piano solo is one of the funniest things
seen on the Biiou stage this season. His
piers Fortunes is what may be termed 4
good home comedy, and one calculated to
drive away the blues.

The Police Uniforms.

There is considerable bitter complaint
about the order requiring the police to pur-
chase new regulation uniforms. The new
one costs S35 and it really seems a hardship
upon the boys. who have had their salaries
cut and are being paid in scrip, which they
must dispose of at 4 discount, to ask them
TO expend money for new uniforms. The
GAZETTE would suggest that a public ball
be given, the funds derived from it to be ap-
piled to the purchase of the new apparel.
There is little doubt that the people Of Fort
Worth would respond cheerfully and see
the affair Il success. The city has reason
to be proud of her police force and her
people would. gladly assist in uniforming
them.
