It is to be hop d that the forthcoming

maintain its own social usages and is
solid in its endeavors to advance by every

Washington gossips are telling how
Mrs Dudley resented the slight put
upon her husband by the president
Like a true wife she believes in her hus-
band and when after an intimacy ex-
tending over twentyfive years Mr
Harrison barely acknowledged the salu-
tation of Col and Mrs Dudley she
laid it up in her heart believing
Mrs Harrison was the inspirer A few
days since these ladies met in a millinery
store and when Mrs Harrison rather
effusively greeted Mrs Dudley the lat-
ter ca > mly surveyed her and said < You
have the advantage of me Mrs Har-
rison gave her name which the loyal
wife repeated musingly much to the in-
dignation of Mrs Harrison who
promptly left the store Mrs Dudley
resumed ber shopping but with the sat-
isfaction of feeling that for her hus-
bands sake she had snubbed the first
lady in the land
JAY GOULD IiV TEXAS
The lengthened visit of Jay Gould can
not but be regarded as of significance
Mr Gould is a centleman who is not
noted for seeking either rest or recrea-
tion anywhere and he has never been
heard to recommend Texas as a health
resort Mr Gould is a man whose move-
ments are neoessarily of importance to
the country Mr Gould is in Texas for
a purpose and so he keeps his own
counsel the people of this state
must content themselves with surmises
as to that purpose confident however
that the presenoe of the great financier
means material good aud not ill to them
Therefore Mr Gould is welcome to
Texas
Publio attention through oaus6s di-
rect and indireot general andspeolflo is
being attracted to Texas Mr
Goulds prolonged stay in the
state will tend greatly to fix
that attention and outside of his own
movements with reference to his railroad
Interests here this extended visit will
advertise Texas to the thoughtful con-
sideration of financiers speculators
homeseekers and tradesmen
The people have oause outside of
these material considerations to con-
gratulate themselves on this visit
whether actuated by purely selfish mo-
tives or not it draws the great railroad
owner nearer to the poople who are so
vitally affeoted by the management of
his lines it is to his interest to draw
nearer to the people and it is to
the interest of the people that
they draw nearer to Mr Gould A
common interest is the bond that unites
the two and that itunltes more closely
nowthan in the pas ia raostgratifying
There is good to Texaakin this Jong visit

SIM PALACE 1TES
The Floridians write that they are
coming to see tho Karporama in large
numbers
Judge J J Coombs of Hardeman
county was in tho oity yesterday looking
after the interests of that county at the
Palaoe No better man for the perform-
ance of the work could be selected
The solid gold medals offered to coun-
ties making best exhibits are nearly com-
pleted and will be plaoed on exhibition
by the engraver They are real beau-
ties and the county that gets one of
them will have something to be proud of
The counties are commencing to send
in material for the decoration of the
space assigned to them and there is no
time to lose The Palace will be opened
May 10 at noon after which hour those
not in position will be left out In the
cold
An Interesting exhibit of Texas pro-
ducts will be models of patents ot utility
of Texas genius The exhibit will be in
charge of Dr A P Roberts himself a
patentee None but patents of merit
will be admitted as the space is very
limited
MoLonnan county has commenced
sending material for decoration of its
tower It will bo the most prominent
and perhaps the most beuatiful tower at
the Karporama The ladies of Waco are
also at work preparing decorations for
the room assigned to them
Jay Gould pronounced the Spring
Palace a thing of beauty aud said the
presentation of the products and re-
sources of Texas in this unique form
could not fail to be productive of good
results Jay Gould is credited with
knowing a good thing when he sees it
If there will bo any decoration at the
Palace that will exceed in beauty the
room beiug decorated by Miss Nellie
Welt man and her club it will have to be
a daisy if all reports be true The work
of this room is nearly completed and
the ladieo will be able to stand around
aud enjoy seeing others work
It is astonishing how the counties aro
arriving at a sense of the importance of
having an exhibit at the Palace now
that every available foot of spaoe has
been assigned to other counties Some
people there are who will get up re-
luctantly when Gabriel blows his trump
and the procession will doubtless move
off leaying them behind
The Palace will be ready for the ladies
to move upon it in solid phalanx on Mon-
day It will take continuous persist-
ent and aotive work to complete the
decorations suoh as only their deft
fingers and refined taste can do but
The Gazette knows whereof it speaks
when it says that they will be equal to
the occasion Thoso who have organized
into clubs and have received cards will
commence first and after a little system
has oome about others who haye tendered
their services will be asked to come to
their assistance
PARKERS OPPORTUNITY
Weatherford Constitution The great
Texas Spring Palace will open at Fort
Worth May 10 and closes May 31 This
is not a local but a state institution
The indomitable pluck and enterprise of
Fort Worth have supplied the sinews of
war and the Spring Palace directory
ask Texas to supply the products Texas
will do it and Parker county cannot af-
ford to be left out We had no exhibit
at the Spring Palace last year but
then we contemplated getting up the
banner exhibit at the state fair and that
was a big contraot This year Parker
will not expend her energies In that di-
rection if popular sentiment can be-
taken as an index for future aotion and
we should have a fine exhibit at the
Spring Palace It will prove of Incalcu-
lable beneat to our country at large and
no effort should be spared to accomplish
the desired end Steps should be taken
immediately to inaugurate tho work
GALVESTON EXHIBIT
Galveston Tribune The Texas Spring
Palace association has an agent visiting
he city who desires to secure for exhibi-
tion at the Spring Palaoe which will be-
held in Fort Worth from May 10 to June
i a full line of vegetables fruits ber-
ries grasses flowers etc from Galves-
ton It is earnestly hoped that every
citizen in the city wishing our resources
made known to the thousands of strangers
who will attend the Palace will meet the
representative of the assoolation at the
cotton exchange tomorrow at 10 a m
The leading idea in calling this meeting
is to appoint aproper person or commit-
tee to select and forward to the Palace
by express a full line of garden prohard
and field products every fortyeight hours
during the continuation of the entertain-
ment We are assured our city shall
have due credit for artioles 6ent and we
think no better means of advertising our
city can be used at so small a cost

TRIED TO BRIBE A MAYOR
OGor of an Acrant of the Atchison Topeka an
Eanta Fe to tho Mayor of Denver
EpecSa to the Gazette
Denver Col April 12 Mayor Lon-
doner furnishes a sensation today in an
exposure of an attempt to bribe him to
sign a bill passed by the oity counoil
granting a franohise to the Atchison
Topeka and Santa Fe railroad company
to build and operate a pleoe of railway
through one of the prinoipal residenoe
portions of the oity The people of West
Denver numbering about 40000 have
been protesting for five years against the
efforts of the railway oompany to secure
this franchise and the case has been
fought through all the oourts
Mayor Londoner vetoed the bill and the
supervisors passed it over his veto
leaving the result in the hands of the
board of aldermen Mayor Londoner to-
day states that an agent of the railway
company oalled on him at the mayor s
offioe and stated that he could sell the
mayors residenoe for 810000 andhe
readily stated that he would acoept that
amount The railway agent then
wanted to know how the mayorstood
on the franchise The mayor asked
if he was interested and how towhich
the agent replied that his people were in
terested and that the sale of the mayors
property depended solely upon the sign-
ing of the franchise bill This offer
the mayor says he rejeoted stating
that the railway people could not buy his
property under suoh or any other condi-
tion at any prioe The agent of the rail-
way was interviewed by a reporter to-
day in the presence of the may-
or and did not deny the state-
ments of the mayor but practically
admitted their truth Coupled with this
exposure is a common cry that the oity
council was purohased to grant the fran-
chise and that many other valuable
franchises have been sold The agent
denied that he was authorized by the
railway company to purchase the may-
ors property

BUILDING AND EEALTY
The Necessity for a Park in Fort Worth
Expatiated Upon
Progress of Affairs on tho Woolen Mills at
Alamosa Heights The Showing of the
Fort Worth Clearing House
WAHTS A PARK
Tho Only Wny for a City to Get a Park is to
Get It A Generous Offer
Yesterday Mr CW Post was rounded
up for his views upon the advisability
of Fort Worth seouring and improving a
park site or two and expressed himself
as follows
Chicago probably tho most progres-
sive city in the Union has some very ex-
tensive and wellkept parks They have
become the principal feature of the city
and are famous the world over While
this oity is a very young one for many
of her present inhabitants can look back
to the time when it was a mere village
of a few hundred people still these Im-
mense tracts of land have been bought
by tho city at prices that aro simply ap-
palling The policy pursued by nearly
ail growing cities in regard to parks is
short sighted and expensive in the ex-
treme When the town is small unoo
cupied ground trees and fresh air are
plenty and the need of parks is not felt
When the oity crows and the vaoant
places are filled up the trees cut down
and the pure air of the village contam-
inated with the smoko and odors of a
city then a great howl goes
up for parkB and the
demand is answerable in but one way
that is to provide them no matter what
the cost may be I have been told that
a gentleman of this oity has signified his
willingness to deed tho city 100 acres of
beautiful wooded ground within the city
limits his only condition being that the
oity will set apart and expend for its
maintainance a small sum of
money annually The pro-
posed donation is a princely
ne and is in harmony with the char-
acter of our generous townsman It will
become a monument that will keep his
memory green with the citizens of Fort
Worth tbrouebout the succeeding gen-
erations It is an offer that should bo
accepted by the city without delay and
if the city counoil fails to secure this
colossal addition to their financial assets
there will be those who will inquire why
such an opportunity was not improved
Dixie Wagon Factory
The large building of the Dixie wagon
manufacturing company is about com-
pleted and it has already been found
necessary to add another large building

THE WOOLEN MILL
The Progress of Affairs at Alamosa Heights
A Promising Place
Work on the woolen mill building at
Alamosa Heights is progressing with
satisfactory rapidity and is expected to
be completed about May 1 The ma-
chinery is all here and required quite a
train of cars for its conveyance It will
be plaoed in position at once
The factory is 200x40 feet
150x40 to be two stories
Two handsome twostory residences
have been completed there and are now
being ocoupled The depot to be built
by the Houston and Texas Central rail-
way company will be commenced within
ten days It is to be a modern and pictur-
esque suburban depot after plans pre-
pared by Architect Dawson of Fort Worth
approved by President Dillingham and
General Superintendent Quinlan of the
Houston and Texas Central railway The
train Bervice will be in the immediate
neighborhood of eleven minutes from
Alamosa station to the oity The
woolen mill addition is essentially an
ludustnal suburb The lots are low in
price in order to permit their ownership
by a olass of people who can build com-
fortable homes but to whom the price of
inside city property is prohibitory Ad-
joining this addition is Alamosa Heights
proper which consists of about a thou-
sand acres of land whioh the surveyors
arenow at work upon platting in blocks
about 200 feet square and whioh will in
time be plaoed upon the market as ohoice
suburban property Alamosa Heights lies
southeast of the city along the
rooky narrow stream called the Syca-
more The land is very high abrupt
and picturesque overlooking the entire
city of Fort Worth
