GRAND ENTERPRISE
A CHANCE FOR ACCOMMODATION
TRAINS IN THE SUBURBS AND
BOOMING RESULTS.


1t has been apparent to casual OBJ
servers for several days past that the
management of the Fort Worth pack
ing house has been celebrating on
some matter of moment In which they
were deeply interested and at the same
time careful that my information of II
should not become known premature
ly. The conjectures in regard to the
matter look definite form yesterday
when II began to be rumored on the
streets that the project which they
had under consideration was nothing
less that the building of n belt line
to connect different railroads cen
house thus giving them easy access
to this most important establishment.
The advantages of the lire can readily
be seen when II Is known that It will
enable them to make prompt delivery
OF cattle to the packing house and
stock yards without mourning the Inn
mense expense which is entailed by the
necessity for switching cars from one
track to another a cattle train COM
Ing from any direction can switch
on TO the belt line In the suburbs and
go direct to the packing house without
being in the way OF other trains In
the railroad yards, as is now the case.
II Is understood that the packing
house management and their asso-
cintes have completed the Organl2a-
tion of the company, and that they
Swill be ready to begin the work Of
construction at an early date. Little
can be ascertalned as to the exact
particulars at the present time. but IL
IL easy to understand that the proposed
Improvement contemplates the eNpen-
diture OF many thousands Of dollars
here. and the employment of a consId-
cradle force of labor during the winter
months, n time when labor stands
most In need OF employment. Incl
dentally II will give an Impetus to the
incipient boom In real estate which ls
already beginning to manifest itself
In numbers. II win be easy to run pas
senger trains on the belt line giving
quick and easy communication between
the suburbs and the city. II is dim
cult TO conjecture what will be the
beneficial results Of this new enterprise
TO Fort Worth. and therefore II is that
the town was agog with interest when
the matter was first mooted on the
streets last night.

Bishop Fallows' Saloon.

The Home saloon Of Bishop Fallows,
in Chicago, fools great many old to-
pers. His idea is to make the place as
much like first class saloon as possible
and to sell in it something as much like
beer as science could concoct without it's
being the real thing. The saloon has a
big bar, with substantial rail, from
which hang half dozen towels. Back
Of the bar is white coated bartender,
and back Of him are big mirrors and
rows OF shelves, covered with black bot
ties bearing gaudy labels A row of
lemons and a bowl of cracked ice help
to make up the illusion. Every day some
thirsty victim wanders in and orders
"beer.' He gets glass of foaming
something that cools, may cheer, but
can't inebriate The victim usually
gulps it down, then opens and shuts his
mouth and tries to recall the taste, while
a puzzled look spreads over his face.
Sometimes he asks questions, but usu-
ally he walks slowly away, wondering
whether or not his stomach is all right.
