worn, OF BETHEL MISSION.
Noble Lnbora for the Cause which 1t
Serves.

The work OF the Bethel mission so
far as 1t relates to results shows for
December an Improvement over the
work for November. The gross at
tendance was not so large, being 5000.
against 10000 last month; there We're
ia applications for prayer and Sc con-
versions, 10 of the latter being in three
nights of one week. Many reached
by this mission are from the class OF
most hardened sinners.
The influence OF the Bethel IL far
reaching also. Only short time has
elapsed since a Presbyterian minister
en- route from California to Philadel-
phia stopped owe sor day that he
might spend at the Bethel mission one
evening. He said he had found in
Philadelphia. Chicago, San Francisco
and other places those who had been
reclaimed from their sinful lives at
the Fort Worth Bethel mission, and
he had determined IL he ever came
near this city he would stop and see
what manner of workers and in what
place so much good was done. and
he was amazed at the humbleness OF
the surroundings. The Bethel mission
workers minister to the high and low,
but chiefly their work is among the
lowiy and they begin the new year en-
Outraged In the thought they are do
ing the Masters work for the benefit
of the "least Of these"

LETTER
Sent to Fort Worth
POSTMASTER.
SHOWS RESULT OF INVESTIGATION
OF INSPECTORS
IMMEDIATE DANGER.
OF DIsMIssALs DOES NOT EXIST.
THE INVESTIGATIONS SHOWS
a FAIR CONDITION
Same Difficulty with Mounted Car
Hampered by omce Patrons.

Washington. Dec. 3l.-(special)-
A letter was mailed today to the post
master at Fort Worth. showing the
result OF the investigations there of
the special inspectors of the letter
carrier forces. The investigation
shows d very fair condition OF things.
and none Of the carriers are in i'm
mediate danger Of dismissal.
The same complaints which charac-
terized the Dallas investigation con-
cernlng the refusal Of mounted car
riers to dismount and enter premises
appear against carriers In Fort Worth
Many of the carriers refuse to go any
further than the curbstone, and from
there they throw the mail into the
yards. Unless 1t can be shown that
the patrons are willing TO allow this,
the carriers will be summarily and
severely dealt with. The report also
shows that carriers show very little
attention to their time schedules. and
are often very late on their routes.
The collections are shown to have been
very poor by decoy letters, some of
which laid in letter boxes for "a hours.
Either the collection scheme Is held
to be very bad OF the carriers intcn-
tlonally skip boxes. in itself capital
Onense.
The Dallas case has been seriously
affected by letters from the patrons
Of the office, who declare that the fall
ure OF mounted carriers TO properly
deliver the mail has been with their
consent and approval. There is so
much trouble about the mounted car
riers as to cause the department to
Inquire whether many of the carriers
are mounted without authority from
the department, and II they are their
mounts will be taken from them. The
evident determination OF soma patrons
OF the Dallas postoflice to prevent the
enforcement of efficient carrier service
there can but effect the whole postal
service, and can but reflect upon q
popular spirit which does not care FOL
the same advantages of public service
enjoyed elsewhere In the country.

BELLS WHISTLES


write 1t 1896.
Early last evenms enc rort Worth
small boy began to show his apprecia-
ton OF new years eve by a generous use
OF frecrlckcrs and Roman candles.
which he kept up at greater intervals
until late hour The grand celebra-
tlon. however. was reserved for mid
night
Just as the clock struck IL the aged
and shrunken 1895 stepped aside to
make room for the young roseate 1886,
and at that instant every molecule Of
air in Fort Worth began to vibrate
with the mighty noises OF the farewell
20 the old year and welcome to the new.
simultaneously with the first strike OF
the clock innuInerable pistol shots were
heard in all parts Of the city, then
every steam whistle FOR miles around
took up the chorus; the bells began 10
peal forth a Joyous sound, the shouts
OF citizens everywhere told OF a great
event, while the air was ablaze with
rockets and Roman candles The noise
was deafenlng but eXhilaratiug for 10
minutes. then all became quiet again.
and the new year had begun.

As OBSERVED IN ronr wonru,
The Week Promises 10 he Rather
quiet In Every Way.

Religiously and socially new year
and the day before are quiet occasions
in Fort Worth this time. Few Of the
churches have in any manner com
memorated the day. There promises TO
be very few social functions during the
week. There viii be the usual dinlngs
and neighborhuod gatherings, but on
the whole the week will be a duh one.
Judging from present prospects,. The
people, however. are not unmlndful that
another milestone Is behind them and
that another year Is before them. The
consideration OF this always brings 4
solemn feeling, promoting intruspec-
ton and consequent higher resolves
for the future.
In business way the feeling appears
to he general that 1895 will be a splen-
did year for Fort Worth. Most people
think tnnt the bottom has been reach
ed In all lines and that a marvellous
rebound ~ at hand. on all sides is eN-
pressed hope and In most cases n he
lief that this year Fort Worth will get
new union depot, belt railroad, a
cotton seed oil mill. a medical college
building and several factories and
Wholesale houses, to say nothing OF a
new packing house ana one or more
state conventions.

An INSTITUTE ORGANIZER.
n. A. Evans of Hutto spent Ye-ter-
day In Town.

r. A. Evans, formerly one OF the
state lecturers OF the Farmers AL
lance. but who has always objected,
as he says. to trailing the banner OF
the organization in the mire OF poll
ties, was in the city yesterday. Mr..
Evans is from Hutto and Is an expert
in organizing farmers Institutes. He
had yesterday Just returned from
Granbury. and was fresh from the fray
as 1t were. He went TO Granbury to
assist in organizing the institute there
Monday. He was In the thickest of the
fight and combatted stoutly the efforts
OF the Populists on that day to make
1t, as II appears. Popullsts' institute
instead of a farmers, institute as its
projectors had designed H. His efforts
We're successful and the Institute was
at last organized without the objection
able Populist features being attached
Mr. Evans has organized several
farmers Institutes In Williamson coun-
ty, his home. and attributes to them
more than TO any thing else. the fact
that the farmers In that section are in
better condition than for number OF
years.

AT THE THEATEn.
Grau'. Opera Company In the Grand
Duchess Last Night.

The Grau Opera company did not dis
appoint the theatregoers of Fort Worth
wnon they promised them a great sue
cess In their presentation OF the Grand
Duchess" as the opera as presented
last night was n success In every way.
The music was catchy and of that
style which pleases The plot, While
not deep, was interesting and the parts
were all we'll sustained. The troupe
was In better condition than on their
opening night and actors as well as
audience heartily entered into the spirit
of the opera.
Miss Randall as the Grand Duchess
made a decided hit. especially during
the second act, when she tries TO tell
yet conceals her love for Fritz. Robert
Dunbar as Fritz added much to his
popularity by his fine acting and pleas
ing voice. during his rise from pri-
vate soldier to the chief,
nor did he lose any OF his prestige with
the audience when reduced again 10
the ranks during the last act. Fred
Frcar az General Bouin proved himself
comedian of exceptional talent and
continually kept the audience in an up
roar, Miss Amy Leslie as Prince Paul
was pleasing and well received. Miss
Hattie Arnold as Wanda and Tom
Martin as Baron Puck, Herman Waldo
as Nepomue and a. b. Arnold as Baron
Grog all reserve special mention. The
choruses were particularly strong,
while the drills by the soldiers We're
never surpassed on a Fort Worth stage.
