The gentlemen who have sought to arouse
some II our citizens to the importance and
value Of Fort Worth rs n field for the publi-
cation Of gold standard daily newspaper
have not met the success In this direction
10 which they were entitled. Their esti-
mate Of the situation is not ovordraWn. The
Gazette encouraged the proposal which was
discussed few weeks ago to establish a
daily newspaper in Fort Worth as the state
organ Of the PopulIst party, and it would
offer equal announcement to any othcr
daily newspaper enterprise Fort Worth is
without question the best distributing point
In Texas: Its merchants and Its business
men generally arc wide awake. and appro-
cia,ive Of their opportunities. Hence Fort
Worth is the place OF places for man

is In Journalism or any other business.
The Gazette may be supposed TO have
ZONE inside information on the subject
and II cheerfuily gives the opinion that
there is room enough for all The only Aup-
ulalion that 1t would make in behalf OF
Fort Worth is that any newspaper to be
started here must be in fact a newspaper,
otherwise 1t could not hope for and need

country, or at least the part of it already
opened up, is lime and slate, with some
porphyry. l am referring now to the
groups Of quartz mines on the west side OF
the range, but on the east are the gravel
beds. They will probably be developed by
capital first, as the quartz mines are in the
hands of New York syndicate who will
not begin operations until next spring.
The winters are not very severe around
this section, but until Improvements are
made there will be very little work done
during the cold spell.

boom in the State of Nevada by system

the train ran into Quevy, the border town,
a customs inspector took it into his head,
more from officiousness than suspicion, to

dutiable jewelry, to the value Of over $500.
There was an exciting scene. The train
was delayed, and a council ofcustom- house
officials was held, in spite of the protests
of the passengers at the delay. 1t was de-
cided, pending further inquiries, to detain
the conductor and the foreman porter at

CLEVER SNEAK THIEF.
Frank Mason. an Eastern Crook, Ar
rested for Stealing Articles From
Wholesale Houses

Chief Crowley was notified about a week
ago by wholesale houses through Miller.
Sloss & Scott. Is Fremont street, that a
sneak thief had been successfully at work
among them.
Detectives Gibson and Reynolds were
detailed on the case and they ascertained
that some one was selling Little Giant"
dies to different people. This gave them a
clew, as several boxes of these dies had
been stolen from Miller, Sloss & Scotts
store.
Yesterday morning the detectives placed
Policeman G. Peters at the store to await
developments. About IL o'clock he saw a
well-dressed young man leaving the store
with a box of dies under his arm, and he
promptly placed him under arrest.
He was taken to police headquarters,
where he gave the name of Frank Mason,
and admitted that he was an Eastern
crook. He confessed to the detectives that
he had stolen the boxes of dies, and
through him they were able to recover
nine of the boxes, which were valued at
about $25 each.
Mason used to walk boldly into the
store and look around as if he intended to
purchase some articles. Then he would
watch his opportunity and quietly steal
one of the boxes. Three charges of petty
larceny were booked against him.

MESSENGER BOYS ON THE WHEEL.-A
new spirit has come over the messenger
boy. He no longer meanders leisurelv
and with thoughtful mien along the side
walk, but makes excellent time as he goes
on mis- rounds on a bicycle. This applies,
at present, to the messenger staff of the
Western Union Telegraph Company at
Philadelphia and some few other offices,
but the innovation has proved such sue
cess that the walking messenger boy will
soon be out of date. In the West Phila-
delphia office, ten boys were formerly en-
ployed The average distance a message
had to be delivered was two miles. Each
boy had about ten messages to deliver dur
ing the day, and by night he was utterly
exhausted. The boy earned from so to 80
cents day. Since the bicycle was intro
duced into the office only one-third as
many boys are employed, and they
are paid so much for every message
they deliver. The time for getting
a message to its destination is reduced to
about one-third, 80 that now boy on his
bicycle can deliver from twenty-seven to
thirty messages day. and instead of max
ing Sc or so cents he makes from 81 to 81 80
a day. An excellent plan for enabling the
boy to buy his wheel is adopted. The
company buys the wheel and continues to
pay the boy for the work he does at the
old rate of wages, putting the difference in
his earnings to his credit. AS soon as the
wheel is paid for it becomes the boys
property. He gets the advantage of in
creased wages and is not nearly so fatigued
by his days work as when he was contin-
ually walking.

A CONSUL CENSURED.
1t Was Proposed to Ask the Italian
Home Government to Re-
call Him.

The Italian executive committee OF the
twentieth of September celebration has
registered vigorous protest against the
Italian Consul, Cav. Bruni Grimaldi, for his
action in condemning the committee by
proxy. 1t will be remembered that at the
mass-meeting held last Friday DR.. Per-
roni appeared as the Coasul's deputy to
announce his dissatisfaction with the
action of the committee in spending more
on decorations for the festival than had
been originally intended.
A full meeting of the committee was
held last Monday in the Sala Garibaldina
President Calegaris, in long speech. re-
pudiated the charges of extravaganza and
declared that while bis voice would always
be raised for peace and unity he could not
