HER TALENT.

She does not pirate OF Browning
Whose works / have not read
There is no laurel crowning
Her shapely little head
She is not vcrsed in Schiller
And Goethe and the rest;
She has no store OF "siller,'
AS some, perchance, have guessed
She knows no word OF Dante
And his italian crew;
She plays not penny ante"
AS rapid maidens do.
No more she knows of Spencer
Than OF Ii; Rochcfoucauld;
On Darwin she is denSer
Than any girl know.
With Kant and Schopenhauer
Her speech she will not load,
But fortune other power
Upon her has bestowed.
Though Mill and Huxley tire her,
As she will frankly state,
Yet still must admire her
Her pumpkin pies are great

A RAILROaDERS' CLUB.
Movement on Foot to Establish One
in this City.

Some time since THE GAZETTE urged the
establishment of a free reading room and
club rooms. which should be for the benefit
Of railroad men and intended for the men
III railroad service exclusively. General
Superintendent Winter of the Fort Worth
and Denver is deeply interested in the
matter, and is at work upon the project. I.
b. Burbrldge is also taking an interest in
the matter, and the question can be re-
garded as settled. The scheme is to estab-
liSh regular club rooms with reading room,
billiard room, etc, furnished in elegant
style, and with a library equipped with
standard works on railroad questions, rail
way periodicals, daily papers, etc. The
business men of the city will, 1t is under
stood, furnish the rooms, provided the rail
road companies will agree TO under
take the expense of their main
tenance II is to the interest
of the railroad companies to do so, because
the more intelligent the men become the
better class of service is secured. With
free access to railroad literature, the men in
railway service Will have an opportunity OF
acquiring information and of obtaining
new ideas which will be of great benefit to
them in their avocatiOnS. This club will be
in charge of the men in railroad service the
janitorS wages of course, being paid by the
railroad companies, and for their use and
benefit. 1t is expected that the men viii

doubt the Fort Worth railroad mems club
will become strong point OF attraction.

employed on other lines. 1t is expected
that meeting of business men will be
called in a few days to take the initiative
in the matter, at which time the question
of rooms. location, etc, will be considered

if the club rooms could be opened by the re-

Worth-The Sermons.

The district conference met yesterday
morning promptly at 9 O'Clock, having
been preceded by half hour of prayer
and praise.
After the reading of the minutes Rev.
Jerome Harralson was introduced to the
conference and addressed the body at some
length in behalf of the Vernon college, of
which he is the agent. He represented that
the college at Vernon was located in the
midst of fine country that is rapidly i'm
proving. The college at Vernon is the only
institution or the kind in all that section,
snnd the outlook for it is fine. 1t is possible
that promising young preacher, well
known in Fort Worth, may be called on to
take the presidency of the school at no
distant day.
The presiding elder called up the unfin-
ished business of the day before, the spirit
ual state of the church. Rev. B. L. CASA
way led Off in a stirring speech on the need
of spiritual life and power in the church.
He was followed by Rev. William Price in
q strong speech in favor of class meetings.
Several other brethren made speeches in
the same line. Rev. ]. NJ. Barcus called
attention to the Importance of family re-
igion, prayer meetings, etc.

Inc SUBJECT Oh missions IN the QlStrlCI was
then taken up. Mulkey Memorial church is
less than two years old, and has heretofore
been receiving help from the board of mis-
sions. On the statement of the pastor, and
some of the brethren of the church, it was
found that the church was in very pros
porous state, and in their opinion could get
on without help il the future. The confer
ence so recommended.
The presiding elder called up the subject
Neutrality-suspicious., and the var ious pastors
made reports. First church was repre-
scented as having school of over two
hundred average attendance The school
at Mulkey Memorial is nearly as large, and
that of Missouri avenue is likewise in fine
condition. The schools at Granbury and
Cleburne are represented as being in fine
state, as likewise were many other schools
in the district

The Fort Worth man generally makes
his presence felt wherever he goes. The
latest IS D. l. Hirshfield, the broker, who
IS row attending the convention Of the
American ticker brokers' association at

articles in the railway department Of the

THE COTTON TRAFFIC.
Fort Worth to be Made the Denver
Market.

Market
Some time since The GAZETTE mentioned
the fact that the Overland cotton mills at
Denver were looking to Fort Worth as their
point of supply for the cotton they expected
to use. In making the tariff ii became nee
essary for the general freight Office here to
know the amount that would be required
and the probable amount of revenue to be
derived from the traffic. Yesterday tee
gram was received from Denver stating the
capacity of the mill. Il will employ $50 men,
Asa looms and 1s4 carding machines, and its
capacity is %, 900 yards per day of twenty
four hours. 1t is understood that the rate
made is the same as to st. Louis, which
places the Denver mills on the same footing
rs those of New England. With Fort
Worth as base of supplies and the Fort
Worth cotton mill in operation, it seems
that all the output of the cotton growers
tributary to Fort Worth will be marketed
in this city and that there will be very little
surplus for shipment to other points. The
Denver mills expect to begin operations
very shortly and the Fort Worth mills are
already in operation Between the cotton
mills, the wooden mills aud the packing
house the farmers within radius of $50
miles of Fort Worth will be in clover, as
they thus have home market Tor the bulk
of their products.

mend the building of a district parsonage,
as soon as possible We recommend that il
be located at Fort Worth, provided suit
able lot can be obtained on liberal terms,
and that $1,000 be raised to build the same.
In our judgment this amount should be oil
vided among the several charges IN the dis
trict in proportion to the assessment for the
presiding elders support, and we recon-
mend that the presiding elder be charged
with its collection, using his own Judgment
as to time and methods.
We recommend that a building committee
be appointed, which shall have entire charge
of the selection of a lot, determining the
style OF the building, and contracting for
, the erection Of the same. This committee
shall consist of seven members, including
the presiding elder, who shall be the chair
man of it. The presiding elder shall ap-
point this committee.
LOVED BROTHER.
The interest of the brethren of the con-
ference in Rev. j. Fred Cox is very touch
ing He has been remembered in many
prayers and alluded to in some of the SER
mons. A special prayer was offered for him
yesterday, and there were many fearful eyes
as the brethren expressed their feelings in
public reference to him. Brother Cox is
loved very much by his brethren of the
ministry and laity as well. The conferences
and express the sympathy of the body for
him in his affection No man stands higher
in the love and esteem of the people than J.
Fred Cox, and many are the prayers offered
for his restoration.
VISITORS.
Among the visitors to the conference are
Rev. L. l.. Armstrong, presiding elder OF
the Waxahachie district; Rev. NJ. K. Lit
tie, presiding elder Of the Vernon district;
Rev. Jerome Harralson, agent for Vernon
college; Rev. George S. Owens, agent for

general of the state of Missouri and Of the
receiver commence. A round assessment
upon all the stock, including the first pre-
ferred, is likely to follow. and their clients
will no doubt be pleased with the work &C.
complished.
On the other hand, if they are defeated,
It will be seen that the offer OF the Santa
Fe company, in the light of the financial
condition of the ST. Louis and San Fran
cisco company, which Messrs. Kimbal &
Eastman have chosen to ignore, is more
than fair and is exceedingly liberal.
In this litigation similar questions will be
raised as in the well-knowu Venner suits.
The Santa Fe company may owe debt of
gratitude to Kimball. Venner and Eastman
for forever settling these questions Of alb
stract law, to use the mildest terms TO be
applied to such litigation.

IT'S A STRIKE NOW.
The Question of Calling Out the Fedora
ton to be Decided To-Day.

CHICAGO, ILL, May 15.-Grand Master
Sweeney of the Switchmens' Mutual aid
association says in regard to the discharge
of the switchmen by the Chicago and
Northwestern company: This is not a
lockout now, it is strike. No freight
train will move, for it is beyond the power
of the road to secure experienced help.
The Northwestern yards are intricate and
switching facilities are limited, and such
men as can be hired would not be able to
handle things properly in months. We will
win in this fight as We have won in others ~
Grand Master Sargent of the Brother
hood of Firenen, who is president of the
Federated Order of Railway Employees,
telegraphed last evening from Terre Haute
to the Grand Pacific hotel "Hays rooms
prepared for the meeting of our supreme
councils Saturday morning." Until this
meeting nothing as to strike on other
roads or Of other employees on the North
western will be decided. The situation this
morning is unchanged. Everything is quiet
in the switching yards.

ing delegates to the Denver convention,
will leave New Orleans via the Texas and
Pacific railroad 3S 6 O'Clock Saturday eve
ming, reaching Fort Worth at 8 O'Clock Sun
day evening.
The new service of the Gulf, Colorado
and Santa Fe railroad between Galveston
and Fort Worth is all that could be desired.
The time is now thirteen hours and forty
five minutes, being shorter in time than the
Houston and Texas Central route. The
new train should be well supported by the
travelling public and the Santa Fe become
the popular route.
