SAID ON THE STREET.

OIpIHllUN OF one tNlNu uIill ihNi N'i ~ ~
distance that | can't understand. About
TWO years ago ] was In my room nt
hotel one night sitting at a table writ
ing to my wife. / had been away from
home for about two months and was
working n territory that | bad never
been iu before, 70 | was feeling especially
lonesome. / had told my wife TO write
10 me ut q town some days lnead, and
hoped To hear from her there. ! must
hnve dropped asleep, but IL has arrays
seetned to me that | was WI te-nwake,
when ! saw a strange town, walked up
to a hotel and registering noticed that
] was given room A. | went TO the
room and the bell boy came up aud told
me that there was q lady IN the rarlor
who wanted TO see me. / went TO the
parlOr and met my wife who had started
on a visit TO friends and had given me
happy surprise by meeting me. ! tried
TO finish the letter but couldn't and
though laughing at my own toolshntss,
] could not help being effected 10y 1t.
In few days / reached the town Nhere
! expected hnnil-it had a strangely
familiar look and ! saw that II was the
town of my dream, II IL was a ureum,
then ! went 10 the hotel, was gwen
room "a, the bell boy came up and told
me that there was a lady ia the pjr."T
who wanted to see me and | Went down
and found my wife. Now, what was IL
that came to mef
H. u. Harrod:-The people must be
patient about the packing deal. Tin
wolves the expenditure Of a very large
amount of money, and In n transaction
of that kind. there are funny details
to be settled which take time. The Iuut-
ter is progressing rs rapidly us COulu ho
expected. and while II ~ lot closed, yet
neither Is IL broken on. The pubuIili-
ties are that we will know something
definite within two or three days at
furlhest. Nothing, whatever can be
said about II yet
Or j. L. Coopcr:-The people should
be made to understand how very impor-
tunt the question of sanitation is aud
the city council should place the very
best men ON the board of health, men
who are thoroughly acquainted with sGni-
tary affairs and with the needs of
city like Fort Worth. This place has
every natural advantage, ind IL las an
excellent sewerage system. Now If 10
would establish cremuiory, require
every street alley and back ward to be
cleaned up and the refuse burned, there
Va no reason why this should not be
u wonderfully healthy city. The
death rate Is very low now but Il can
be- made even lower. With no stugnnnt
pools or ponds and with drninlgc easily
accessible to every house, thcrc Is no
necessity for such diseases as typhoid or
| lllAlflliNl A'hNN WlN w w AAt w 'a'tlNhn
| from those causes every yc'tr. The
board of health should give It's active Mt
| tpuuOu 20 these matters and the Citi-
| Zcus should cooperate heartily with the
| bOurd. II cholera comes to this country
| as now seems likely, Fort Worth, while
! having no local causes TO iuduce II, Will
! suffer greatly from Il. II IL ever starts,
| unless the people awake TO tile impur-
| lance of keeping their premises and the
| streets or alleys adjacent to them, licr-
| frctly clean. ! am not an alarmi5t, but
| IL is we'll nt MI times TO keep the city
In good sanitary condition, AMI Is es-
| pcciuliy important now where there 10
a possibility OF cholera appearing.
A lady:-I see that the Minnesota
legislature has passed u vomun's suf-
] frage bill. Personally ] do not see any
necessity for the ballot, 80 far as
am concerned IL is a responsibility and
! not a pleasure and II is a responsibility
Tint | would gladly let the men bear
alone, but il IL Is added 10 those III
ready dcyolying upon me, ! shall Try 10
| meet It's requirements, and TO many
women who labor for their bread and IN
stead of being dependent upon men, have
| men dependent upon them, ! can see
how they regard Il as m nestiun9le
bOou, especially in view of 'he laws In
some states relating 10 the prjpprty
rights of women.
Gen. t. NJ. Clarke;-The visi. of the
managing directors of the American bank
OF Texas, limited Is of the greatest i'm
portNuce TO this section. IL means the in-
ycstment of S5,oOOOOO and IN ,ucrcnsed
confidence on the part of Elglish CAPT
talists. They are expected here within
two or three days and VIII be dytn an
opportunity to inspect the couqtry tribu

certainly very encouraging aud In -
