Near the upper end Of Nassau street,
in New York, stands n tall building con-
tanning business offices. In the year
1872 this building was regarded as one
of the finest in New York and was occu-
cupied chiefly by good class of law
yers The apartment on the northeast
corner of the top floor bore upon the
ground glass panel of its door the legend,
Thomas II. Bannick, Law Office Mr.
Bannick had lived in the building since
its erection, but only latterly in his
present quarters. He had begun bust
ness in one Of the large suits of offices
on the third landing, but, for one reason
or another, the larger rewards of his
profession had not come to him, and,
not being weighted down by gold in his
pockets, he had gradually risen from one
floor to another, until at length he had
found himself, architecturally speaking,
above all his fellow tenants To go
higher was impossible. He was not yet
light enough 10 live in the empty air,
although if things went on as they had
been going it looked rs if lie would have
to live on it.
Because a man is poor in New York it
does not always follow that he is u
scoundrel, or even that he is incompe-
tent. Tom Bannicl1, at all events, was
ntather. He was born of good North
of Ireland family, and had been thor
oughly educated at Dublin university.
After supplementary career in law he
came to America with ten thousand
pounds in his pocket, and an impression
that he was going to make large fort
une. Curiosity and temper hospitabe
to adventure drew him to the western
states, where fo- dozen years he had a
very lively and interesting time Of it.
he twice lost all his money, and once
was worth couple of hundred thousand
dollars. These vicissitudes, it must be
confessed, We're not incident to the regu-
lar practice Of his professionally specu-
lated in land and mining properties, and
the inevitable ups and downs followed.
After his second reverse he tossed up a
cent by way Of determining whether he
should follow tho law or 80 to Califor-
MIA and prospect for gold. The cent
| came up heads, and he chose law &C.
cOrdingly. The many friends he had
made and his knowledge of mining got
him plenty Of business, and it turned
ont that he was a better manager OF
other peoples affairs than of his own.
lie was making "A fair income when 1t
came into his head that he might do still
better III New York.
There Is plenty of money in New York,
but, like the fairy gold of the legends,
it has way of vanishing just when you
think you have your hands on it. Tom
Bannick was a sound lawyer and man
of excellent judgment, but he was in
cOpigibly honest. He was conscientious
to a degree that caused his colleagues to
shrug their shoulders. lie objected to
taking up doubtful cases ION spec" and
to defending causes which seemed to
him to involve thleyery. He had no in

was not politician. On the other hand,

Here it was--tAe newspaper cutting,
containing the cipher letter found on the
person of Harry Trent after his death.
Keppel spread it out on his knee and
compared it with the anomalous docu-
nent. In moment he uttered a cry of
surprise-surprise that his wild anticipa-
zion had been fulfilled.
The cipher of the letter and the cipher
of the document were Identical. But
the latter was the key to the former and
the explanation of it, and by its aid KEEP
pei could read the mysterious commune
cation as easily as he could construe

The Fair.

The time for the opening of the Texas
state fair and Dallas exposition is drawing
near, and Mr.. f. l.. Huffman, representing
the county exhibits, wishes to urge,upon the
county exhibitors to come as early Us posi-
BILE with the stuff they have TO display. The
5th of October ought to see all of the county
exhibits on the grounds and the work Of
arranging them under way. The Panhan-
die, the Abilene country and the Pecan
Colorado country especially should be on
hand as early as the 5th of the month.
Mr.. Huffman says the people all over the
state are talking about the fair with an in
terest never heretofore manifested, and he
predicts the greatest display of exhibits
and largest attendance ever before known
in the history of the fair association. The
fair is of and for Texas, and the amount Of
good it does for the state cannot be esti-
mated. Thousands of people from the old
states will visit the fair, and they will all
carry home with them many good impress
sions of the Lone Star state. The people OF
Texas can well afford to support the fair,
as the benefits to be derived from it are in
calculabe. This year the bountiful crops
have made fine display of Texas products
possible, and the opportunity of exhibiting
them to the world should not be lost

DALLAS BUDGET.
The Opera House Model - The Great
State FAIR.

The Opera House Model - The Great
State FAIR.
Special to the Gazette.
DALLAS, TEX, Sept. 27.-Eyer since the
close of the last opera season the Dallas
opera house has been undergoing enlarge
ment and repairs. These improvements
were finished yesterday and as result
Dallas has the largest, best equipped and
by far the haudsomest play house in the
Southwest. Thirty-dve thousand dollars
has been expended in the work, and a visit
to the building will show that the amount
has had its results.
The auditorium has been materially en-
larged. The room is seated with opera
chairs made by A. Andrews of Chicago.
They are of oak upholstered IN red plush.
The boxes are eight in number, of the latest
design with two lodges, and are new
additions to this theater, and are
the only ones in any theater in
the Southwest. The boxes are fur
furnished and upholstered in the latest
style. The fresco work of the. auditorium
is said by competent judges to be the best
in the United States outside of New York.
Chicago, with all of her fine theaters, has
nothing to equal it. The floors are covered
with velvet carpets of delicate pattern.
The seating capacity Of the house Is 1900,
while it will hold $500 people. The stage
is a marvel OF theatrical grandeur. The
Scenlum opening Is twenty-five Ieeu- Inc
stage proper is thirty-three by sixty-two
feet, and fifty-two feet to the grits- The
same is furnished with..a complete set of new
scenery, including two new drop curtains.
The scenery was painted by Sesman & Lam
ders of Chicago and Mr.. Frank Cox of the
Grand opera house, New Orleans. The
work done by Mr.. Cox is far superior to
anything else in the house, and unques-
tionabiy the best even in the Southwest.
Mr.. Cox has had the entire arrangement
of the stage mechanism, and ct this work
he has no superior.
At the rear of the stage an addition has
been built for dressing-room facilities which,
for convenience, has no equal anywhere. The
whole building is lighted with both gas and
electricity. The auditorium is provided
with four exits, two into the lobby and two
direct to Austin street. This makes the
building perfectly safe in case of fire.
The new house will be thrown open for

The Lonely Track Walker.

After nightfall, along the 5000 miles of
the Canadian Pacific railroad, no matter
how bare She prairie nor how wild or DESC
late the mountain or lake shore, any one
standing on the rear platform can see every
few miles lantern in the hands Of a track
walker, who, after the train passes, re-
sumes his duty along the track. 1t is a
rule on this road that after the passage of
each train the roadway shall be carefully
inspected, and particularly the bridges, for
fear that some spark from the locomotive
may have set fire to them.
Along hundreds Of miles between Ottawa
and Winnipeg, over the prairies Of Assini-
boia and Alberta, and through the noun
tain ranges far west, the humble hut of
the railroad track repairer or guard is
often the only human habitation that is
seen for long stretches. In the wild region
north of Lake Superior one sees these log
cabins every few miles. Often .ie en-
ployee has family, who live with him in
this almost uninhabited country, practical
ly cut of from human society.
The log cabins are only one story high,
and very low at that. There is no sign of
garden near them, and all supplies are
brought by the trains. Sometimes it is
necessary for the men to travel twenty or
thirty miles to perform task assigned
them, and for these journeys they use the
railroad bicycle, continuance with two
wheels to fit the rails. A seat is rugged be-
tween them and a lever imparts motion to
the small cogwheels, which rapidly turn
the wheels on the track. The men can
easily travel twelve or fifteen miles an
hour on these little machines. When they
hear train coming, off they jump, take
their bicycles off the track, and no sooner
has the train passed than they resume their
journey.-New York Sun.

An Excursion to Waco.

1t is not yet definitely decided where the
next excursion will be run to but 4 canvass
OF the train yesterday showed that all We're
eager for a trip 20 Waco over the fine road
bed OF the Missouri, Kansas ard Texas As
10 whether this is run or not depends al
together upon the Katy people and the
terms they can offer the club.
1t is desired, if possible, TO
run the excursion to Waco next
Sunday. but it may not be possible to do so
before the Sunday following. AT any rate
TIE GAZETTE ventures the assertion with
ont fear of successful contradiction that the
Katy VIII do ali in its power TO assist the
boys and that the terms will be such that
the boys can afford to announce Il round trip
TO Waco for Il silver dollar. The matter
viii probably be taken up at the
meeting of the board of directors
TOMORROW evening. OF course there
wi be no barbecue accompaniment TO the
Waco excursion, but Waco is a very pretty
city, is peopled with hcspitable, wide
awake people, and the Fort Worth visitors
viii be sure of i cordial and hearty wei
come. The train, by leaving here at $
O'Clock, can reach Waco before noon, and
allow several hours time for viewing the
city. THE GAZETTE will officially announce
the result III day or so.

The Fcncibles' Drill.

The Fort Worth remedies accompanied
the excursion and added not 4 little TO the
success of the affair \ special car was
furnished for the Fencibles and

picnic grounds they formed in ranks
where arms were stacked till after dinner.
4 splendid dinner, consisting of every deli
cacy. was furnished them.
At , O'Clock. headed by Professor Ault's
band, they filed out of the schoolhouse,
which had been pressed into
service rs an arnory, out upon the
drill grounds, which were unusually
good, being about one hundred and fifty
yards square. Sixteen of the Fencibles
had been chosen to give an exhibition drill,
and those who were chosen We're the flower
of the company so far as proficiency in
military tactics is concerned. Eight
did guard duty, and patrolled up
to keep the crowd back, which formed in a
square around the parade ground. The
company. preceded by the band, marched
completely around the grounds once, after
which the band withdrew and left the Fen
ribles in full control of the field. They then
proceeded to work and showed the crowd
some of the drilling that made
them the envy of competing companies at
The state encampment in Austin. The
manualsswas gone through with and in add
hon TO this some field work was executed.
About an hour was consumed III field work

around the backgrounds TO wit
ness the work of the four
sets of fonrs appreciated the fine work
done and signified their appreciation by APP

On the trip back the coach bearing the
Fencibles contained the hveliest crowd on
the train. Immediately upon leay-
ing Bellevue the fun commenced
and continued till Fort Worth
