"ChaIk and Charcoal"

The Burlington 0owa) H0,'heye says ::
\ good audience greeted Mir. Little last
evening IN his lecture on 'Forms and Faces
in Chalk and CharcOal.' The lecturer uses
large blackboard for the chalk work and i'm
mcnse squares of paper for the crayon
sketches. Pictures come and go with mar
Vicious rapidity-they seem to be made by
some instantaneous system of photography.
The listener, for Mr. Little talks while
he sketches, forgetS that the pictures are
made by hand. 1t is only by stopping to re-
fleet that one can appreciate the great deX-
terity and rapidty of the artist. The in
geniouS part of Mr.. Titles art consists IN his
making form or face, and then changing
its attitude or expression by adding a few
rapid strokes. 1t is difficult to give de-
scripton of this lecture, as it must be seen
and heard to he understood All present
We're highly pleased, and if Mr. Little ever
comes tins way again we predict for him a
crowded house and an enthusiastic reception.
This lecture will be given at Meats
Opera House Wednesday evening,
March t. 1t will be an entertainment
meyer before seen and enjoy ed in
Frostburg. Don't fail f. attend.

"Ahi but with Us singers it can be diff

"Are you so much in need of tri-
umph Of that kind?' demanded Wallie.
Now, whether he so intended it or not,
Mariana evidently interpreted the ques-
ton as a covert but bitter satire She
gave little soft laugh and arose.
"At last, then, we understand each

is it not? You are too clever for me, NJ.

And, laughing once more, she gave
him her hand with free gesture, and
Wallie bowed over it with mingling of
admiration and vexation such as he was
seldom kindled to. He had recognized
his mistake the moment after it was ir-
revocable.
"Well?' said Ed, getting up with a
haggard face from his chair in the smok-
ing room as Wallie entered.
"Well," responded Wallie, there is
no doubt about one thing-she is the
great Mariana! think you may as well
come with me and see your sister"

From the Albemarle TO Wallie's house
was not long distance, but it had be-
gun to snow, and the keen northerly
wind drove the fakes straight into the
faces of the pedestrians and afforded
Wallie a good excuse for keeping his
mouth shut, or opening it only for mono
syllable answers to the questions which
Ed from time to time addressed to him.
With all his pains he had undoubtedly
bungled the interview with the Russian
star-just at the juncture, too, when he
was beginning to entertain the best
hopes of success, How swiftly and eff
fectively she had turned the tables upon
himl What terrible versatility and self
command she had! With what a wicked
ROBUSTNESS had she fired that parting
taunt at him about his motive in es-
pousing her rivals causei cat any rate
Pm glad let her have the last wordP'
said Wallie to himself; but that was
somewhat cold comfort.
He left Ed in the drawing room and
went to find Mrs. Cadwalader and
Beatrix. He sent the latter to her
brother and remained in conference with
the former.
Beatrix came softly into the drawing
room and saw Edward standing near the
farther end of it with his back toward
her. She paused, and remained motion
less, gazing at him. Her heart went out
toward him, and yet she shrank from
him. She wished to be in full sympathy
with him, but Mariana seemed to stand
between them. For when she had
learned from Geofrey's letter to WaIlie
that Mariana was Eds companion she
had been forced to the conclusion that
the relation between them must be an
unlawful one, and the circumstance that
Mariana, rather than any other woman,
should be the person holding this posi-
ton had affected her with a peculiar
horror. There seemed to be something
wantonly repugnsnt in it. She might
have prevented herself from definitely
realizing the fact had stranger to her
self been involved; but Maranai-she
had lived under her name and occupied
her place so long as to make her feel
NAe~S 6AO was IL oOAAO way pC4SOud11J
mixed up in the catastrophe.
In few moments Ed turned round
and saw his sister.
The personal magnetism of eye to eve
with those who are really dear to each
other overcomes, for the time being, all
scruples and recoilings. When, there
fore, her brother gave a glad start, and
stepped toward Beatrix with an inarticu-
late exclamation of affection, she forgot
everything except that he was her
brother, with whom she had spent her
childhood, who had cut his initials on
the banister of the old staircase, whose
white roses she had worn on her bosom
until within the last few months, by
whose side she had ridden, and in whose
company she had ransacked the woods;
she found herself with her arms round
his neck, kissing him, smiling with wet
cheeks, and murmuring: Dear Ed dear,
darling boyl Oh, am so glad to have
you againl''
'HOw well you are looking, sisI" he
said at length, taking her by the elbows
and looking at her. She was, indeed,
beautifully dressed, and her face was

THE cH,MnER OF COMMERCE..

At the risk Of offense to the now
much lauded pessimists and back-cap-
pers and to their organ, THE GAZETTE
ventures to remind Fort Worth that
the Chamber of Commerce is in danger
of disintegration. The GAZETTE hopes
for pardon for this interest in the
town from the men who have so long
been IN obscurity, because the Chamber
has been an instrument of much good
TO this city. In the Chamber the move
ment began that led to the erection Of
the brewery and other manufacturing
enterprises, and if the Chamber is per-
mitted to die, it will be difficult to or
ganize another nucleus. The Chamber
is the third organization effected, and
should be sustained-it is easier to save
it than to start another in the event of
its disarmament.
From the date of the organization of
the construction company in 1876, Fort
Worth has secured nothing by favor
all that it is and all that it has is the
result of work by men who had faith
in work and hope of its results. If
Fort Worth is satisfied with what it is
or believes that it is now more than it
should be, no work is needed, and the
Chamber is superhuous ornament,
albeit an expensive one to those few
who believe differently and who, seeing
what work has accomplished in the
past, believe that work can accomplish
much more in the future. This is the
whole question: Shall Fort Worth
grow or remain as it is-if such thing
as remaining even as it is be possible
without action?
The Chamber Of Commerce is the
nucleus of Fort Worth action-shall it
live or die?

CONFEDERATE FLAGS.

AS the days go by even the memory
of noted events grows dim, and in the
flight of years less than half century
is time sufficient to render extremely
uncertain knowledge of things that
were deemed of minor Importance.
That this is true is demonstrated by
the inability of many men, even Con-
federate soldiers, to describe accu-
rately the flag under which they fought
A friend of The GAZETTE having seen
a published statement to the effect that
there was uncertainty as to the flag
has kindly sent with copy of an auto
graph letter of Jefferson Davis, two
models OF the flags. The one adopted
by the Confederate congress as the ma
tional flag, March 3, 1861, had square
field of blue extending through the
upper red stripe and the white stripe
In this there was a circle of white
stars, as many as the states of the Con-
federacy. The third and bottom stripe
was of red and running the full length
of the flag. The model sent by Mr..
Davis and made by his wife differs
from this in that there are thirteen
stars, equally distributed over the blue
field instead of forming a circle.
The second is what is known as the
Confederate congress battle flag" 1t
is plain red flag, with blue stripes ex-
tending from corner to corner; these
cross each other in the center. one with
seven and the other with six stars.
The sender, in her letter, expresses
the hope that this description will be
of service and afford pleasure to some
of the old Confederates who may not be
able to recall distinctly the colors and
arrangement OF the stars and stripes of
a flag that to them represented so
much, and which, after hard-fought
contest, they were obliged to see folded
away with the dead hope OF which it
was the chosen emblem.
BEAUyoIR, MISS, July q, 1883
Mrs. S. Lee Kennedy, Hillsboro.
The flag on the right was the one first
adopted by the Confederacy It was subse-
quently changed, leaving out the bars, and
the union became, as l remember it, like
the battle flag, which you find on the left.
Respectfully and truly yours,
JEFFERSON DAVIS.

MURDERS have been very common
occurrences in Texas, and legal hang
ings very rare. There seems now to
be point reached where the condition
is to be reversed. We can name at
least four condemned murderers who
can number their days on earth.
These are Duncan at San Antonio.
Powell and Leeper at Gatesville and
Davis at Fort Worth. In addition to
these is Rodgers at Dallas, condemned
to death for rape. This is making
very good beginning, and if the rate is
kept up for a few years murders will
become almost as scarce as hangings
have been.

THE DOGS OF WAR ARE LOOSE.

Mr.. Foote. war veteran, whose
sense OF honor has been shocked by the
frantic scram BILE for pensions of every
body who was in the army from 1861 to
1865, has undertaken to reform the
abuse. He says that not more than
one in three OF the pensioners really
deserve and need:the governments aid.
The other two have done nothing to
deserve pensions, or are in such cir
cumstances that they can get along
without public charity. Mr.. Foote
wants to cut off these suckers, and
limit pensions to veterans who were
Fort Worth gazette. [volume] (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1891-1898, 1891-07-26

disabled in the war and are unable to
care for themselves.
In this honorable effort to purge the
pension list of impostors and leeches,
Mr.. Foote has encountered the most
violent opposition, which extends to
threats against him. He has received
among other hostile letters, the follow
ing from Chicago:
I'VE, united fifty of the Old Guard will
say to you that if this cranky idea of trying
TO prevent the old veterans from getting
their pensions is original with you, you
better discontinue your visionary idea.
What is the matter with you2 Do you
want to make areputation, Well, you bet
ter have made it during the war rather than
now trying to make it at the expense of the
old soldiers. The woods are full of such
friends to the old soldiers, as well as the
copper-headed Democratic party. The war
was failure must be your motto. you
soon have a hornets nest about you. At
present we simply say: Veterans
''P. S.-We might as well say TO you, you
are being carefully watched, and when the
proper time comes we will make things
very interesting for you and your fellow
cranks, and don't you forget it!''
Mr.. Foote is not disturbed in his
work by such menances, and he has
the countenance and support Of many
veterans who are ashamed of the end
less raids upon the treasury in the
name of patriotism" They may be
able to check the plundering, as the
treasury is empty and the next con-
gress has Democratic majority, but
they cannot undo what has been done.
The pension payments now call for a
hundred million dollars every year,
and Raum says he is going to put $50
600 more names on the list as fast as
his clerical force can do the work. If
this is done, it will increase the army
of dependents upon national charity to
number bordering upon a million.
Whatever Mr.. Foote and co-workers
intend to do had better be done
quickly, for when a name is on the list
it cannot be got off.
