The Fort Worth GAZETTE has Of
fered trip 10 the Worlds fair to ten
young ladies in Texas TO preside at the
Texas department, who are to be
chosen by popular vote. The friends
OF Miss Willie Smith have proposed
her name to be voted for By
the people. The young lady is
native Of Bryan, the grand
daughter OF Judge Smith, Tor
many years the editor Of the Appeal
(now the Pilot, and her father was for
many years an employe in that office,
both Of whom were well known 10 the
present writer, and pleasantly remem-
bered.
She is also 4 granddaughter Of
Prof. Bergman, one of the best edu-
Gated men in Texas, and for a long
life has been engaged in educational
pursuits. in which he is recognized as
one Of the highest authorities, Her
mother. Mrs Matte Smith, has for Il
number OF years been employed in
the graded school of this city. and
she herself is now in the tenth, or
graduating class, one OF its brightest
members.
Miss Willie is in her sixteenth
year, very pretty with soft black eyes,
and raven black hair, modest and
gentle in her manners. Her limo
cent expression is at once an appeal
To the popular favor, and would any
where be a passport to popular pro-
lection
Through many different ways her
relation to several OF the leading in
dustrial occupations viii doubtless
bring her strong support from all
parts of the state. As for ourselves.
we urge her claims upon every printer
and newspaper Office in Texas, aud shall
expect nothing else than q universally
favorable response. tits pleasure to
have said this much in behalf Of Miss
more II necessary, standing as she does
Willie, and we are quite ready to say
a sort Of connecting link between tne
known realities OF the pre-
sent. and changing, shadowy
sentimentalisms Of the past With
ali the sadness and beauty OF its then
unseen story. Though still counting
many unasked and unexpected years,

Moro Than One Candidate OF the same

The necessity for writing tho resi-
daoo as well as the name Of tho candi-
date has now become absolute. More
than one candidate OF the same name has
been entered for the contest to 20 on
TIE GAzETrE's excursion, and unless
the voters specify lhe residence OF their
candidate, It will be impossible to cor
rectly record tho votes, and THE GA
zETTE will refuse to record the names,
Any attempt TO record the vote OF a
candidate, where tie residence Is not
given, when there is another candidate
OF the same name living elsewhere,
would be mere guess-worl5, and THE
GAZETTE positively refuses to guess"
at the record or to put on the record
any vote not known to be for tho candi-
date credited with 1t.
The rules require the names and res
residences OF candidates to be stated in
the letter which is required for pub
LEGATION but now that more than one
candidate Of the same name IS in the
contest, there is the more necessity Of
giving the residence Of the candidates
voted for,

be held subject to the order OF the

Eloauence 10 the voice OF genius
speaking through the lips of talent.
Reason is the brightest star In the
armament of intellectual freedom.
sympathy is branch from the tree
of love.
Beliefs are the whisperings of ig.
norance and superstition IN the ear of

Some people regard the bible as q
kind of life boat for the soul; the
church rs o soul saving station, and
the preacher as the pilot who mans
the previously laden craft.
With some folks religion consists
merely In perpetual game of "hide

If capital would only occasionally
cast its eye with sympathy on labor
struggling arduously and manfulIy to
make Roadway, think that many

fatal clash between them be pre-.

There Is more mischief In an idle
man than a busy devil.
"Mother, Home aud Heaven" is en-
tirely too delicate, too sacred theme
for man to discuss, who deliberate
