No matter how costly your
toilet, unless your gloves are
suitable, unless they fit you,
and unless they are fresh, there
will be something wanting that
keen eyes will see.
Most ladies know the value
and THE CHARM of pretty
gloves all do not.
Most ladies know that suit
able gloves are not to be found
everywhere.
There is an art in glove
fitting.
There is a good deal of art
in glove selection.
1t is not enough that you
buy glove simply because it
is pretty,
Worn with one dress and on
some women it would look
lovely.
Worn with another dress
and by another woman and it
/
might be quite the reverse of
lovely.
If you know the dress you
will be likely to wear most with
the gloves, then one good
point is gained.
If you know the colors that
will best harmonic with the
dress, then the other point is
gained.
If you belong to our store
family, then you have the re-
naming point in your hand,
because you'll know that you
can get here EXACTLY what
your judgment and taste tell
you is best for you.
SUEDE GLOVES are on
the top wave Of favor.
Of course the 4-button is
the popular street glove, al
though many ladies wear 6 and
even s buttons.
We have them up as high
as 3o-button lengths, in all
evening shades.
With gloves are associated

LACES.
There is language in 'Ker-
chiefs all their own.
If you can see the supply of
'Kerchiefs belonging to men or
women you can form a very
fair estimate of their REAL
love Of pretty things.
We have dainty 'Kerchiefs
for dainty women.
We have them to please any
wish you may have, or any pc
culiarity of taste you may
possess.
There is a vast difference in
'Kerchiefs.
Price alone NEVER ought
to determine your purchase in
them.
For ordinary service and for
the children certain qualities
may be used.
But for YOU, why you know
the charm that rests in pretty
flmy bit of lace loneliness al

1t is so with RUCHINGS

THE RAILROAD CLUB.
Great Interest Manifested in the New Or
ganization by Railroad Men.

The interest of the railroad men in the
new railroad club IS something remarkable.
Upwards of $50 names have been enrolled
for membership. and there Is now little
doubt the club will be inaugurated with Il
membership of not less than five hundred.
Some have Suggested the purchase of the
Warren institute building of the govern
meut and removing il to another portion of
the city, to be fitted up as temporary club
quarters until the club shall have selected a
site and erected its own club building
The reason for this is that in none of the
buildings at present in the business portion
OF the city can sufficiently cOmmodious
quarters be secured. As the club viii be
larger than any similar body of men in the
city it will not do for it to be '-cribbed,
cabined and cOnfined" in Its infancy.
The Fort Worth and Denver people have
offered the club the use of a tram for the
purpose OF running an excursion to some
point on the line, day and date TO be here
after announced, the entire proceeds of the
trip to 30 into the fund of the club for the
purpose of securing and furnishing its club
rooms Ill the most approved style. 1t is
probable that other roads running into
Fort Worth will do the same and Il series
of excursions be the result. which will
probably net enough to furnish the rooms,
and enable the club to use its funds for the
purchase OF club house site and the cree
ton of building.
There is now no doubt of the success of
the project. The boys have clear track,
have hooked her down in the last notch and
given her full throttle. No stops will be
made for cattle on anything else, as she
Will run regardless. The permanent organ
Haiion of the club will take place III Cham
Der OF Commerce hall on Saturday evening,
and every man in railroad, express or rail
way mail service i'll the city at that time
is cordially invited 10 be present.

The question Of who will be the officers

cided. Al Il meeting of the directors held
yesterday morning y. p. Luclett was
elected president, and y. B. Smith was

Mr.. Smith stated to a GAZETTE reporter

soon be ready to resume businesses soon

like to use the same methods of coercion

A GOOD SCHEME.
The Railroad Mems savings and Loan
Company.


For several months past the employees of
railroads ccntering at Fort Worth have
been discussing the feasibility of a savings
and loan company, to be composed Of rail
road employs almost exclusively. The fol-
lowing circular letter has been sent out and
the matter may now he said to have as
SumeG definite shape:
DEAR SIR-The organization of a Railroad
Mems saving and loan company has been to
some extent discussed among railroad en-
ployes il this city and vicinity, and the IN
dersigned, believing the organization OF
such a company TO be of mutual benefit to
its members and to be for the good of
railroad men generally, have concluded to
submit 4 plan of organization, viz: To in
corporate a company under the laws of
Texas with an authorized capital OF $500
900. to be divided into shares of 800 each,
payable in monthly Instruments of 81 90
each. having for its purpose, first: The
loaning of the funds of the company to its
members on monthly payments of interest
and principal. Second: The loaning of
any surplus funds that said company may
have TO parties other than members of the
company on good real estate security. The
affairs of the company to be managed by
board of directors OF seven or nine men to
be selected hereafter by the stockholders at
Il meeting called for the organization of the
company.

of money matters at this time, and of the
great demand that is now being made by
borrowers, that a large earning can be
made by the company for its stockholders,
ana that the business can be carried on at a
much less expense than a business OF like
character ordinarily is. We commend the
matter To your consideration, and after due
consideration, should you approve the plan
and feel disposed to become member OF
the organization and work for its success.

DALLAS LITTLE SALISE.
Chas Dillingham; Appointed Receiver of
the Texas Trunk Railway.

Special 10 the Gazette.
DALLAS. Ten. Sept. S.-On September 4
United States Circuit Judge Pardee Of New
Orleans rendered u decree at Cincinnati,
Ohio, appointing Charles Dillingham; of the
Houston and Texas Central railway re-
cciyer of the Texas Trunk tl:I0 o'clock
Last night Baker, Bolts <; Baker and l. D.
Colts, as attorneys for the Central trust
company Of New York. filed in the United
States district court here, the decree. and
from that hour Mr.. Dillingham; was virtu-
ally in possession of the road.
To-day the receiver has been busy pay
ing the employees of the Texas Trunk their
back pay up TO September |, and will, it is
thought. at once proceed to operate the
road. But other complications present them
selves. Sheriff Lewis of this county has
served several writS of attachments on the
road and has possession. These writs
were issued in order to force payment of
various local claims. and some of them
We're issued before Judge Pardee appointed
MIR. Dillingham; as receiver. Just how the
matter will be adjusted between the re-
ceiver and the sheriff is not known, but the
former will probably settle the claims for
which the attachments were run.
The Texas Trunk is virtually now part
of the Houston and Texas Central railway
and will probably be put in tirst-class con
dltiOn and extended to some connection to
the southeast. This will give Dallas new
and Important road. William Whyte has
been appointed by the receiver as superin-
tendent, and the men are TO report to him
for instructions at once. 1t is understood
that the road has bought up land for right
of way that will connect them with the
Houston and Texas Central, and connection
will be made at once SO that the Texas
Trunk can effect an entrance into the union
depot. This will be great convenience to
the travelling public as well as the road.

Santa Fe Improyements.

Ii is reported, and apparently on good au-
thority, that the Santa E'e is preparing to
put i force of men at work in their yards
here this fall. and construct gravity receiv-
ine, forwarding and distributing yards at
this point and also erect new and substan-
tial depot buildings. etc For this reason
the Santa t'e has positively declined to
lease a part OF its land in this city as it viii
not only have use for but will demand every
available foot Of room. The Improvements
viii, it i thought. cost in the neighborhood
OF $4,000 10 so, coo. and may double that
amount if the plans are carried out in full.
This is pretty good evidence that Fort
Worth is still in II and that the Santa Fe
fully appreciates the importance of the city.
just how soon work viii begin is not known
mere, but it will probably be completed be-
for lS9! makes It's bow to the public.
