The Town Clock!
Mr. Editor:—Your criticism upon the
irregularity of the town clock ought to
be reiterated until the city fathers, or
the county fathers, or somebody else's
father, would see to it that it is kept
running right. Let some reliable man
be employed at the expense of the cor-
poration, to attend to it. I think, also
that it should bo made to keep the true
time, and not railroad time. Then let
hotel and livery stable men, or whbever
chooses to do so, keep their time pieces
with the railroad time; for it seems to
me that a town clock should show the
time of the longitude and latitude where
it is situated. It ia to be hoped that
those whose business it is will see to
this. Respectfully, S
Prosperity of Fort Worth.
As an evidence of the prosperity of
Fort Worth, the Democrat gives the
following: Some tiipe ago block No. 52.
fronting on Main street, directly op-
posite the El Paso Hotel, was sold for
$10,000. The purohaser subsequently sold
one lot of the square for 83,000, and a
day or two since sold another lot. front-
ing on Main street, on which he had
erected a brick store, for $15,000. This
serves to show the rapid advance of
real estate in Fort Worth, and it may
be taken as a criterion of the increased
value of property throughout the city,
and the. welfare and prosperity of this
grawing town.
The Races this Afternoon. s
Considerable Interest is manifested,
not only In sporting circlrs, but among
the people generally, in the races this
afternoon. .The hour set is foiVr o'clock
and the place the field back of the court
house across the Trinity river. The fact
of neither horse having a record, and In
spite of this, such large amounts of mon-
ey being staked upon them, has caused
quite a flutter of excitement In the city,
and there will doubtless be a large as-
sembly to witness the race.
The Daily Democrat has completed
the organization of its
job owice, •
and having engaged the service of a
first-class job printer. Is prepared to re-
ceive orders for job work, to do it In the
best style of the art and to guarantee
satisfaction as to price, promptness and
execution.

Oft
IT X8 SAID
That the Roclable to be given by the
ladles of the Presbyterian church, to-
night, at the residence of Mrs. M. B.
Smith, at the corner of Third and La-
inar streets, will be a uiost enjoyable
affair.
That Ili4 bootblacks congregate at
the corner of Main and Second streets
in such numbers as to monopolize the
sidewalk. The police should give them
notice to vacate. They are a nuisance.
That the court house clock liaB
stopped, short—will it ever go again?
That a vast amount of building is go-
ing on in the city.
Tint the rumored change In rail oad
schedules will be halted with delight by
all who have been inconvenienced by
the eld time table.
That if there is such a thing as a gar-
bage cart in Fort Worth the use of it in
cleaning the streets would add greatly
to the appearance of the city.
That the Democrat does not fill up
its local columns with "personuls."
That the races this afternoon will be
well attended If the clear, bright
weather, with which the day was
usheied in, continues.
That there Is more money at stake on
the races to-day than most people think.
That capitalists are looking toward
north Texus and Fort Worth as its me-
tropolis for the investment of their sur-
plus capital.
That "laugh and grow fat" is a trite
old saying, but good holiest work will
produce the wherewith, which will add
to the rotundity of your person—and
pocket book.
"Pull For the Shore."
Editor Daily Democrat: It Is very
gratifying to see that the proposition to
establish a city hospital has met with
such universal favor. The subject may
be said to be a "boom," and it appears
that the time has now come to "bring
it to a head." With that object in view
[ beg to submit, for the consideration
of the city authorities and the tax-pay-
ers, the following proposition, to-wit:
Levy a tux of five mills on the dollar,
on the two million dollars of taxable
property in the city; submit this tux to
the popular vote. If the citizens will
consent to the tax, and doubtless they
will, inasmuch as it is not to be an an
nual tax, but only levied once, and for
this purpose, it will yield ten thousand
dollars, a sum amply sufficient to pur-
chase an acre of ground in the suburbs,
and erect on It u handsome und commo-
dious structure, tind furnish it through-
out .for an infirmary. The city will
thus haie acquired the ownership of a
handsome and valuable property, which
can be leased for a large annual rental
This will go a long ways towards paying
for the care oftne indigent sick, for
whom the city is in honor bound to pro-
vide, if not quite enough. Leaving out
of consideration the probable enhance-
ment in value of such property, as our
city grows and improves, it will be seen
that It becomes actually a source of con-
siderable revenue to the city for all time
to come, and relieve them almost en-
tirely, if not wholly, of the enormous
pauper expense, which J am Informed
is some six hundred dollars per month;
over seven thousand per annum. Pre
sent the matter to the tax-pnyers thus:
Will you accei-t a tax of one half of one
per cent, on vour proj eriy once to raise
$10,000 or Bulbmit to taxation every year
sufficient to pay eeven thousand end t wo
hundred dollars for the care of paupers;
consider the advantages to result from
the former proposition. Responsible
physicians are ready to take the liospi-
tul at a fair rental, and if necessary give
bond for the money. Or a stock com-
pany will lease it. This statement is
ex cathedra. Let us have the hospital,
"Alpha," "Tax Payer" and "Right,"
voice the public sentiment.
Percy Vei:1c.
Fort Worth. March 20, 1883.
Rumored Change of Schedule.
A minor is in circulation to the effect
that a change is about to be made in the
schedule of the Snnta Fe road. At pres-
ent the trains arrive and depart at very
inconvenient hours, but the rumoreii
change will be regulated in such a way
as will better 6uit the convenience of
the traveling public. Instead of leav-
ing Fort Wortn at 6:30 o'clock in the
morning, the Galveston train will de-
fiart at 0 o'clock in the evening, arriv-
ng at its destination at 11 o'clock the
next morning, instead of 11:35 at night
as at present. The schedule now In
force compels a passenger to consume
three days in order to spend one day in
Galveston. The proposed chunge will
be of great assistance to business men.
as they will be enabled to run down to
Galveston at night, and only be absent,
from their business one day. It is un
derstood that sleeping coaches will be
run on all trains. The same rumor says
that the New Orleans & Texas road
will also change, their schedule, leaving
Houston at C o'clock p.m. Instead of 10
as at present. If these changes are
made, of which there Is but little doubt,
as the report comes from very good au
thorlty, the roads throughout Texas
will, probably all make the change,
which is certainly to be hoped for. '1 he
rumor (rives the 2uth of the present
month as the date upon which the new
schedule will take effect.

A Jealous Wife.
A Dkmocrat reporter witnessed n
scene, this morning, hu'hab'e to h'm
and others but a most serious mutter to
the participants. Having boarded n
s reet car this morning, the newspaper
man, who like all of his brethren of the
pencil, lias an eye for the beautiful,
noticed an extremely attractive lady
sitting directly opposite him, who ap-
peared to be suffering from some mentnl
excitement. From the direction in
which che almost momentarily turned
her eyes, with a look of indignation,
hatre'd and contempt expressed in her
lovely countenance, it was evident that
a lady sitting at the farther end of the
car hud in some manner, inexplicable
to the reporter, incurred her dis-
pleasure.
This lady bore the scrutiny of the
other for some time, but doubtless tir-
ing of the glance of inquiry, which all
in the car cast upon her, caused by that
peculiar look aiid action, she rang the
Dell and alighted. The other lady im-
mediately followed, and the reporter,
with an e^e to business, also followed.
The lady who got out of the car last
at once accosted the other with a remark
anything but complimentary, to which
noreplv was vouchsafed. 'Ihe lady was
not to be put off in this manner, and
again returned to the charge, bestowing
upon the other epithets that would not
look well in print. The reporter edged
a little closer to hear the reply, and was
rewarded by hearing the abused lady
verv calmly remark, "you are crazy."
This so enraged the other that she at-
tempted to strike her adversary with
