she Kicked the Hat.

Rather laughable incident occurred
yesterday at the corner of Main and Fifth
streets, which was witnessed by reporter.
The participants in this little episode were
three well-known society bellies, rather in
clined to frivolity and who more than relish
a joke. The young ladies carelessly stepped
upon the curbing and tripped gaily and
thoughtlessly along, having only in mind
Uncle Tom and little Eva, for they evil
IDENTIFY were en- route for the matinee per-
Torrance at GreenwalFs. On the walk
was observed a black hat; usually and
under ordinary circumstances there would
be nothing in this fact to cause commotion,
but on this particular occasion the order of
things was changed. One of the light
hearted misses inadvertently used her foot
with vain endeavor to remove the ''cadyn
but it moved not an inch; it was there to
stay. Some mischievous street arab had
slyly placed a good-sized rock beneath the
hat. Beside sustaining pain from coming
in contact with the obstruction, no damage
was done, but the young lady passed on up
the street mutteripg inaudible syllables,
which the reporter could not interpret.

THE COUNTY FAIR.
An Association Can Easily be Formed and
Made Success.


In TIE GAZETTE of yesterday appeared a
reference in regard to organizing fair as
ISOLATION in Fort Worth. The item has occa-
stoned not lutte interest in the suggestion.
A group of influential business men was OBJ
served earnestly conversing on the corner
of Main and Fourth streets late last even
ing, when reporter leisurely sauntered up
and began to chip in, as is proverbial with
the news gatherer The discussion was
over the fair proposition, and was the opin-
ion of all that the matter should assume
tangible shape. Said ]. P. Nicks:
~ certainly favor the movement; it
would be big thing for Fort Worth; you
can Away count on NE for anything that
will be Of benefit to the best interests of
the CITY,"
Think it would be a good scheme" said
MIR. Crane of the firm of Crane & Harrison
Would like to see first-class fair in Fort
Worth, but l hardly think it would be q
paying investment for the first few years
nevertheless, heartily favor the move-it
would eventually pay. no doubt"
It's Just the right Step,' chimed in F.
P. Pendery. ''F'ort Worth needs some
thing of the kind, and you can count on me
If an organization is affected A fair
ground and city park could be constructed
in conjunction, thus providing two very
valuable adtuncts to the city. Byall means
give US a fair"
Mayor Smith is fully in sympathy with
the proposition, bnt is of the opinion that
sea. 600 put into factories of various kinds
would result in more benefit to the city.
Hardly think it could be made to go, still
1 do not offer objection to the matter. and
would like to see fair organized" said his
honor
Many others were interviewed upon the
question, all of whom acquiesce in the mat
ter. The fair seems to be a general desire
among all.

OUT ON a STRIKE.
Pacising-House Employees Quit Work and
Walk Out at Noon.


Walk Out at Noon.
Yesterday few minutes after high noon
4 general walll-out of employees of the pack
cry took place.
A GAZETTE reporter called at the packing
house 4 few minutes later but could learn
meager particulars from Col Hoxie. who
was reticent and had but little to say.
When asked in regard to the matter that
gentleman said:
There's nothing serious the matter; sim
ply matter of stoppage of work for a half
day; there was little dissatisfaction
among few turbulent spirits that it would
give them chance TO clean up.n
As the colonel was inclined to say but
little about the matter the reporter at once
went in search of some of the employees to
get their version of the difficulty
From the best information it is conceded
that the whole trouble originated
over the order given over a month
since by the packery management
compelling the employees TO board
at the stockyards hotel or they could get
their time. They refused to do it aud
walked out, and 4 committee Of five from
their forces was appointed to wait upon
the packing people and lay their grievances
before them. This was done, and but
ten minutes elapsed when they were re-
quested 10 resume their places, which
they did, thus ending for the time being
the committee have been let out This fact,
connected with reduction of unskilled
labor from 10 to 1919 cents per hour and
the reported rumor of being supplanted
by cheap labor, is the cause for walking
out Over one hundred and fifty men are
out, there remaining but three or four
Swedes and Germans in the dry salt
coolers.
A squad of six men were appointed to
watch the packery last night, not to intimi-
date, bat to quietly request the few men
who remained in to come out Tho leaders
say there will be no serious trouble. and
that no property of the packery will be
molested. They say that all they want is
fairness and justice, and whenever that is
conceded they are ready and willing to
return to work
As the packing house people refuse to
say anything about the affair one way or
the other, TIE GAZETTE can only give the
laborers' version of the existing troubles.
1t IS thought by some that the matter

to the city by w. ]. Bailey at $50, 600 at the
adjourned meeting on Saturday, the 22d in
slant, and so much Of the said ground as is
necessary to be used for the erection Of
central fire hall Il does not appear
how much Of said ground will be necessary
the balance of the same will be used by the
city. Article II, section 5, of our state con-
stitution provides: s'And no debt shall
ever be creative by any city unless at the
same time provision be made to assess and
collect annually a sufficient sum to
pay the interest thereon and create
a sinking fund of at least . per
sinking fund would have TO be provided to
pay the debt in one, two and three years.
There Is no money on hand and no provision
made for the payment of the purchase price
OF said ground, but it is proposed to execute
the notes Of the city payable in one, two
and three years. at per cent interest, pay
able semi-annually, for the purchase price,
This viii be the creation Of
debt without any funds in the
treasury or any provision by the
city Of q fund to pay the interest sent annu-
ally or the principal at maturity. I think
the attempted purchase one the city has no
power to make, but conceding we have the
power. l deem it unwise and unnecessary.
nor have we the means at COM
mand to build a central fire hall at
this time, and we will not
likely have such means at our command
within one year. When in shape to erect
such haIl, dare say the city can secure
site on as good terms as to price as at this
time. It seems to rue that we are prCpos-
ing to contract debt without authority of
law for property for which we have no i'm

A Commercial Tourists yiows on David
Il. Hill
I'M. A. Chambers, formerly business
man of Fort Worth, was yesterday seen by
a GAZETTE representative at the Mansion
hotel. Mr.. Chambers is with the clothing
house Of Henry w. King of Chicago, and
represents that firm in Texas. When asked
Tor news item Mr. Chambers said he
knew nothing startling, but emphasized the
fact that he was solidly David B. Hill ad-
vocate.
''What is the expression of the people in
TeEasas to Hill and Cleveland2'' queered
the reporter.
wherever I've been the feeling is favor
able TO Hill by large majority. he is TN
doubtedly the coming man. You can say
he is the most popular Democratic aspirant
among the party in Texas, as Cleveland has
made himself unpopular by his position on
the silver question, as well as other stands
he has taken. The Hill boom is spreading
daily, while Cleveland is losing ground
equally as fast"
Mr.. Chambers is an enthusiastic admirer
of Mr.. Hin and never fails to speak his
sentiments on matters political.
