The Warren Athletic Association met
last night ut their rooms, No. 40 Newark
avenue. The sssendanoe was large aud
the room was crowded The Committee
on Hoosns stated that they had resumed
hunting for new quarters, IS it was evil
dent that the present accommodations
are Inadsquate. They have made bid
for a suieabis. place andckpect at the next
regular meeting to report that they have
secured the rooms they are negotfatluk
for. The meeting was held under the
new laws and ran smoothly. several
propositions were received and the names
Of we14 known athletes were on the list OF
applicants. It was decided to hold
lpecfal meeting next Friday night. when
the wedding out win begin. The list OF
charter mem bers will be read and all who
have failed to pay their dues VIII De
dropped from the roll Those in arrears
must step up and settle. as the club viii
not carry any useless timber. All those
dropped will, IL they desire 20 unite with
the club again, be required to pay the IN
itiation fee. The Committee on Euter-
fainment aud Games reported that the
demand for uckets is 50 great that Il has
become necessary to issue more tickets.
The prize to 20 to the most popular ath-
lete has been purchased and no one OF the
Warren Club will be allowed to Dartici-
pate. The several athletic clubs have
been asked to desi gnate a man as its can
didafe for the honor to bring the contest
between the clubs and not an fndiscrim-

enthusiastically declared that the MEM

that the Warren A. A. has come not only
to stay but is going into first place. The

from the proceedings of a Wolld's fair
meeting held at Galveston, as published in
the Galveston News of September H.
"Col. Gresham said he had received a
letter from Mr.. Hurley, president of the
Texas association, and, although he did not
exactly say so, the impression was that he
would move his headquarters from Fort
Worth to Galveston If the people here
would put him and his assistants in a po-
sition to do their work here. That would
mean the securing of Office accommodations
and the raising OF 5000.
Northern Texas, he said. was well organ
lied, owing mainly to the fact that Mr.
Hurley had his Office in Fort Worth. If
they could get Mr.. Hurley TO come to Gal
weston it would be of great benefit to the
Texas exhibit and to the city of Galveston,
as nothing would tend to advertise it more
than the fact that the Texas department
had their headquarters here.''
That the people of Galveston are very
much in earnest in Worlds fair work may
be inferred from the statement that they
have started out with the view OF
raising So, 200, $1,000 to go toward
the building fund and $4,000 to be
expended in making an exhibit of Calves
toms resources. The Galveston committee
has gone actively to work to raise this
money, and from the character of the COM
mittee that is at work there some very
practical results may be expected from that
city, which is repidly placing itself in the
lead in the Worlds fair movement.

THE GAZETTE: FT WORTH, TEXAS MONDAY SEPTEMBER a.

TO Goth of September These fairs occur
on the same day as those of Minnesota and
Wisconsin. which we contemplated visiting,
but being advised BY railroad officials that
the cheap excursion rates to Texas on the
18th and Goth Of September applied only to
Missouri points, and not to points in Mime
sofa and Wisconsin, hence the change.
We are now distributing for all roads lead
ing to Texas their advertisements, with
ours, of these excursions. Please advise
that al shipments OF advertising and ex-
hibits be sent to Kansas City, Mo-, up to
the 10th OF September. Those heretofore
sent to Hamlin and Milwaukee have al
ready been ordered forwarded. This
change allows us to visit the cities of
Omaha, Lincoln, Fall City, Hiawatha,
Atchison. Topeka. Lawrence and Kansas
City, points il the excursion limit. Our
cars are constantly thronged here as else
where with earnest inquirerS after Texas,
and daily we are assured by men Of means,
as well as homeseekers, that they are sure
to visit the great state from which these
exhibits come. While writing this letter
an uptown Missouri Pacific ticket agent
visited the cars, and after seeing the ex-
hiblts, said: You are certainly doing
good work for Texas, as l have sold fifteen
straight tickets to Texas points in the past
four days.
We are billed for the great state fair at
Lincoln tomorrow, when we show our ex-
hibits and when Governor Hubbard will
speak on Texas and Her Commercial Re
lationS to the Great Northwest it being
Texas day. Yours truly.

During a strike on one OF the eastern
roads tasy had to pick up anybody they
could to man what trains had to be run
The engineers and conductors on the fast
trains stood BY the company, but the brake
men were out. The superintendent hired
one big bulky fellow, who gave his name
as Boscomc, to act as brakeman on the
Chicago limited
Now, boss" he said to the superinterd-
ent, you just tell me what to do and you
be: your boots I'll do it. Do you want any
strikers killed."
"Ec, no. Don't you NEEDLE with them
unless they NEEDLE with You. You won t
have very much TO do unless something
goes wrong With the train. Then you he'll
as much as you can and do whss the con-
ductor tells you to-"
And if things go smooth. what do do
thens"
Just shout the name Of the stations"
When the Chicago limited started ont at
O'Clock that night Boscome was on one
of the sleepers. Everybody was in his
berth trying to get to sleep. when Boscome
put his head in the door and yelled:
"Brenton's Cornersl"
"Fo de Laud," cried the porter, sghast,
you mussent cali de names out in sleep

You tend to your blackin boots and
don't interfere with me. I'm q doin my
duty and don't you furget it"
People put their heads out from between
curtains and wanted to know what lunatic
was abroad. The sleeping car conductor
expostulated with Boscome, but every time
lot Of lights flashed past the new brake
man yelled ''Muggin's Junction" or what
ever name was next on his list. The train
conductor at last came along and said he
would put Boscome of, but the stalwart
brakeman asked him to try it on if he
thought he could do it.
Il amt got nuthin agin you, conduc,"
said Boscome, but Pm a dom what the
superintendent told me to do, and you be.

The conductor pulled the bellrope and
the train slowed up.
Anything wrong with the train, con-

As the train started up again the conduc.

Conflicting Theories.

Once upon 8 midnight dreary
A detective formed theory
That a man Was being murdered in the street
block below;
Re could hear him loudly calling
As the wicked blows were falling,
And his keen detective instinct told him al no
wished TO know.
By the sound hi. ear detected
That tine blows must be directed
By man OF blond complexion with blue and
gentle eye,
And with legs q little banded,
Either right or else left handed
And between four feet six inches and six feet
four inches high.
So he calmly sat and waited
Till the noise had all sbated,
Then he strolled at leisure down the street the
corpse 10 note.
There he met with Mrs. Leary,
Who herself had formed q theory.
For she saw the fight between O'Dsaleys dog
and Gradys goat.

THE ODD FELLOWS.
One of the Important Problems for the
Sovereign Grand Lodge.

One of the Important Problems for the
Sovereign Grand Lodge.
| One of the important problems before the
next session of the sovereign grand lodge
will be the question Of admitting to mem
| bershlp persons of is years of age. The
| sentiment in the several Jurisdictions seems
| to be that this question should be submit
| ted to the subordinate lodges for direct
vote. says tine Chicago Times, and it would
be the proper thing if the grand lodge Of
each state would instruct its representa-
tfves in the sovereign grand lodge to offer
and to advocate resolution in that body at
Its coming session. as substitute to the
question already before it, TO ask or direct
that each state jurisdiction submit the
question to each lodge and request it TO take
vote upon it after proper notice 10 the mem
bers and report the result of that vote to
the respective grand secretaries, they TO
report the result to Grand Secretary Ross
in time for the next annual session. That
vote would decide the question in a very
satisfactory manner and no one would have
reason to complain if the result was not to
his liking. A change in the organic law
OF this Importance ought to be passed upon
By the order at large aud each individual
member should have q direct voice i'll its
decision.
With many who are not very familiar
with the history Of American Odd Fellow
ship, there has been disposition to con-
found the Manchester Unity with the hide
pendentcOrder in this country, and when
the great cantonmept was held in Chicago
last year, it was the custom of those who
worked the press to give it ont that
Odd Fellowship had 100000 members.
thus including the Ancient Order of Odd
Fellows and the Manchester Unity, with
which the Independent Order has no more
connection than i. has with Pythianism. Il
now appears that there is movement On
foot to provide for an exchange of visits
among these orders, and Tor aiding brothers
i'll distress. This 4 good scheme, and might
be made TO work well not only among these
orders, but among other kindred orders
The only difficulty that stands in the way is
that Of providing mutual system OF recog-
milton. 1t will be difficult to do this unless
the lodges of the various orders seeking
fraterral intercourse could get together and
establish degree which would be alike in
all bodies, and by which members of kin
dred but different orders might be able 10
recognize each other for purposes of mutual
aid and relief
