Wirz, the keeper Of the Andersonville
prison. Wirz Is buried under a tall
hickory tree, in which squirrels chatter
and gambol. Tall, rank weeds and un-

simple word "Wirz" on a small block of
marble at the head Of the grave is the
only thing TO denote his resting place.
Mrs. Surratt's grave is equally obscure.

CATTLE, SHEEPA AND HORSES

Craze throughout the year upon the luxuriant and nutritious wild grasses which
sod the landscape Of this entire region. None of the desertland for which New
Mexico is famed exists in the Black range. Here the grams grass waves in the
gentle breeus between the dashing streams of crystal waters. No rigorous
winter weather necestates the expense of shelter and no sultry summer days
detract from the value of the meat marketed. The peculiar Typography of the
country permits of both sheep and cattle occupying this territory without the
usual conflict bred BY their contguity. The range is fast being claimed and
stocked but there are many good ranches still to had.

THE BLACK RANGE

Is purely a local paper, making no pretensions to widespread influence nor the
controlling of national affairs. 1t is sufficient for the BLACK RANGE if 1t SO
succeeds in setting forth the advantages and wealth of western Socorro county,
that capital may be induced to come hither and open up the rich prospects
in gold and grass which are awaiting the advent of the capitalist. To adver-
hse the facts set forth above and at the same time earn something more than a
livelihood for the proprietor is The aim Of the BLACK RANGE newspaper.

SEEKERS FOR HEALTH

Will find the Black range peculiarly adapted to their purpose. The Consumpt
ives whom this magnificent climate will not heal are past all hope. The altitude
ranges from eMOto 5000 feet above the sea level and the air is uncorrupted by
decayed vegetation or the foul breaths and worse graveyads of a dense popula-
ton. The winters re mild, and the rainy season tempers the summer months
to remarkable salubriousness. The country abounds n hot springs whose me-
dicnalquaHtts are in nowise inferior to the famous Eureka springs of Arkan-
sas. Fish and wild game abound to amuse the sportsman.

veins the ftlOsu OF tats.
stockton Independent
On Saturday Deputy sheriff Frank
Mofiatt, of Oakland, arrived here with an
insane patient, whose case is one of the
most extraordinary on record. The
crazy man, Roger Williams, is about 2s
years of age, tall and of extremely slend-
er build. He is graduate of an Eastern
college of high repute, and before his
reason was overthrown he was recog-
nized among his associates as man of
fine mind and vigorous intellect. Being
overworked in the city he went to farm
near Livermore, but there his health
continued to fail. There was a constant
wasting away of blood and tissue that
left him almost skeleton. Among his
fellow-workers on the farm was a young
man of about his own age, who had
served an apprenticeship with doctor.
They became warm friends and in their
conversations j was suggested that Will
liams submit to an infusion of blood, in
hope that he would gain strength by it.
The instruments were secured, but no
one could be found who was willing to
be bled in behalf of Roger, and after
some delay it was decided to use the
blood of an animal. 1t was here that it
was proved that little learning is
dangerous thing. At first calf was sug-
gested as the blood supply, but finally it
was decided TO sacrifice a cat, or whole
a fla 4tat, ...a.s-
formed, the blood being taken from a
number of cats and injected into the
veins of Williams.
The experiment was to an extent sue
cossful. The man gained strength and
had hope of ultimate recovery, but soon
he began to brood over the consequences
of incorporating the blood of cats into
his own system and SO heavily did il
weigh upon his mind that his friends
feared for his sanity. He refused to 90
to bed. saving that he believed he was
being transferred into a cat and preferred
to sleep on rug before the fire. AT night
when not asleep, he would wander
about the house, jumping the garden
fence until tired out, when he would
climb to the roof and perch on the Chin
ney. He sought the society of other
cats and at intervals would try to fight
with them. only succeeding, however. in
soaring them away, when he would retire
to the house until rested. He manifested
the greatest terror of broom-handles and
boot-iacks and at last his mania so grew
on him that he was confined until ex-
amined for commitment to the asylum.
During the examination he showed
wonderful propensity for jumping, sew
eral times running on all fours and
jumping over the doctors. All the time
of his antics he kept up an ear-piercing
mewing and at the sight of dogs became
frantic.

wore before his sickness he had taken
care of to be introduced in court the day
Of the trial.
When the trial came on tbe different
persons, with the black clothes, were
brought into court, and were there met
by Capt Burnaby, the captains of the
other three ships, and the men of the
four boats, with Mr. Bell, who were all
on the said island of Stromboli, and saw
the two apparitions descend into the
burning flames the aforesaid 14th day of
May last. Ten of the men of the boats
made oath that the buttons on the coat
which the apparition had on were like
the one present, being moulds covered
with black cloth, the same sort that the
coat was made of. The different persons
who were with Mr.. Booty at the time
of his decease make oath that his death
happened at ~ o'clock noon the l4th of
May last, which was in the year 1885.
The jury then asked the captain Of the
sphinx if he knew Mr.. Booty in his life
time. He answered that he never saw
him in his lifetime, but plainly observed
the dress the apparition had on, which
Mr.. Burnaby said was Mr., Booty, in COM
pany with another unknown.
The judge then spoke: "The Lord
grant that | may never see such a sight
as that, for think il impossible for thir-
ty men TO be mistaken!'
The jury then gave their verdict
against the Widow Booty, plaintiff to
pay the costs of the court. The forego-
ing are facts, extracted from the journal
of the ship Sphinx's voyage up the straits
in the year 1856.
The above trial is now to be seen on
the record of the court of the kings
bench in Westminster hall-Mrs. Booty
plaintiff, against Capt. Burnaby, defend
ant.
These records are written on parch-
ment in Latin, in the lawyers old text
and are kept in glass
case in the clerks Office, where for the
sum of one shilling they may be seen
by all whose doubt or curiosity may in
luce them to il.

system In Work.

The Use of slate, hanging in the
kitchen with a pencil attached by a
string, is useful, and helps one in form
ing good habit of using up fragments
of time. Whenever there is little job
of work to be done that may be forgotten
or overlooked, let it be written down on
the slate; or in the evening sit down and
think ofthe work to be done next day
or the next two days. And then plan
and manage and you will be surprised
how the odds and ends of time will turn
to good account, how every moment will
be used to advantage.
When there happens TO be teakettle
of hot water on the stove and no special
use for it, the windows could be washed
the starch made or the pumpkin stewed,
if it has been prepared during some of
the idle moments that will slip into the
busiest days.
While sitting talking to a neighbor
who had dropped in to rest, the socks
could he darned, if they were all ready
with the ball and needle waiting; or the
silk dress skirt could be busted with q
soft flannel, and better done, too, than II
crowded for time. 1t is a work however
that should be attended to, anyway.
The old pan was mended by driving a
small plug of lead into the hole and
hammering it down flat on both sides.
This job was done while meal was
waiting for the head of the house to
come from the lower field.
One by one the items disappear from
the monitor slate; little necessary jobs
that would otherwise be overlooked or
forgotten. The notes TO be written could
all be attended to in an evening and the
errends at the village grocery could be
done by the first member of the family,
who would simply take the market bas-
ket and copy ofthe articles wanted on
a slip of paper.

The ceremony Of crowning the Rose
Queen has been celebrated at Worsley
in field near the parish church. Short.
ly after o'clock the long procession of
the Rose Queen entered the field. A
splendid sight it was as it streamed along
against the dark greenery. Two thou
sand people were waiting TO give the
children welcome. At the head Of the
glittering line was the band of the vicar
Then came Robin Hood with band of
forestes, "all begirt in gaudy green"
After them score of girls to do the Nav
pole dancing. Then number of flower
girls with bare heads. white frocks and
wreaths of roses. Another score of
dancers followed and another band of
flower girls. Soldiers and sailors came
next, followed by picturesque array of
carriers and peasant girls, cooks and bak-
ers, shepherds and cleaners, gipsies and
milkmaids. Then the Queen.
Her Majesty, little fairy Of six or
seven summers, with round rosebud of
face, sat in rose-decked chair of state
borne on the sturdy shoulders of the
Brackley cricketers. Her round blue
eyes had no shadow of trouble in them.
She bore herself as though it were her
wont to sit in high State chairs and hear
the murmur of a crowd. Mayhap with
ten years more she would do the same
thing lees well. Around Her Majesty
were pages, maids of honor, ''beef-eaters"
and Dody-guards in due quantity and
splendor The simple white in which
the Queen was robed shone with the
clearness of the sun in such blaze of
color After the royal household came
a score of boys and girls in Scotch dress
the girls wearing the tartan of the
Stuarts. Before them marched piper
in full Highland garb, his terrible engine
of sound in strong blast. In close com
pany with the Scotch were Irish boys
and Welsh girls, and closing the process
sion proper was body of miniature po.
lice.
Then came crowd of people out of
nursery tales. On reaching the rose
bordered throne the Queen was lifted
out and carried up the steps. The Coun-
tess of Elesmere and the Earl OF Null
grave were in waiting, and a. soon as the
Queen was seated the Countess set a rose
crown on her head, following up the
coronation with kiss, TO the young
Queens great content. Then the band
played God Save the Queen" and there
rose a ringing cheer clear and silvery
from the throats of the enlooking king
dom. Some sports were afterwards set
on foot for the delectation of her youth
full majesty. While the Maypole was in
the course of dressing, the Countess of
Ellesmere brought her baby to the
throne. The Queen honored her young
est subject with kiss and sent guard
of honor to attend the distinguished
visitors to their carriage"

An Incident of the Battle of Marks Mill
In Arkansas.
Arksnsaw Traveller
Just before the battle of Marks Mill,
in Bradley county, Arkansaw, an incident
occurred which has since been told at all
reunions to the amusement of all hear
ers. Just before the battle opened, a
federal scout, while riding through the
the woods, discovered confederate
scout sitting under tree. The federal
dismounted and approached cautiously
from behind. The confederate's gun
was leaning against the tree, and the
federal reached around and removed it,
stepped forward and exclaimed.
oh, yes, Pve got youl"
That's fact"
Come, get on your horse, and I'll take
you in?"
The two men mounted and started on
through the woods in direction which
the federal supposed to be the union
lines, hut which the confederate. soon
discovered was toward his own COM
mand. They had not gone far when a
slow fire of musketry caused the federal
to ask:
"You know who that is over there?"
"Yes."
"who is it,"
"Joe Shelby"
'The devil it isl''
They went on little further, the fed
eral all the time keeping the conieder-
ates gun lying across the horse, in front
of him, when the crash of small arms,
and boom, boom of cannon caused the
two men to stop.
"Do you know who that is?" asked the
federal"
"Yes."
"Who is it?"
"Marmaduke"
"The devil il Isl"
They went on again, the fede raj grow
ing more and more nervous. Pretty
soon heavy firing and the awful rebel
yell told that the battle was opened.
"Do you know who that is up there?"
asked the federal.
"Yes."
"Who is it?"
"Maxey with his Injins."
THE h-ll it is! Here you take the
gun," and by the time the exchange was
made the men were in the confederate
lines.

To those whose minds are troubled
with doubt as to whether or not there is
a hell, the following from the British
Naval Chronicle, 1907, may not be unin-
teresiing:
An abstract from the Journal of the
ship Sphinx, in the year 1886, up the
straits:
May l2-When we arrived at Manson
we found three ships lying there from
London, commanded by the Clpts Brit
ish, Brown and Burnaby, all going 10

May l3-These three ships sailed in
company with the Sphinx wind north

twelve fathoms water wind south, south.
west).
May 1.-THE four captains and Mr.
Bell, merchant, went on the shore upon
the island Of Mount Strombol to shoot
rabbits. About three o'clock they
called their men together to 90
aboard their respective ships, when to
their inexpressible astonshment, they
cav the appearance of two men men
ig very swiftly through through
. lr toward them; one Of them ap-
peared to be dressed in black and the
other in gray clothes; they passed close
by with the greatest rapidity, and, to
their extreme CONSERVATION, descended
amid the burning flames into the mouth
of that dreadful volcano, Mount Strom-
boil. At their entrance, there issued
tremendous noises the flames rushed
out most terribly, and Capt. Burnaby
cried out "The Lord bless me the fore
most of the two, in black clothes, is old
Mr.. Booty, my next door neighbor at
Wrapping; but do not know the other"
He then desired them all to write
down in their pocket-books, or note it
on something, what they had then seen
which was Immediately done by the
three captains and Mr.. Bell and like
wise ente red in the different ships jour
mails at the same time.
When these four ships had taken in
their loadings at Epari they sailed to-
gether for London. When they arrived
in the river Thames, at Grayesend, Capt.
Burnaby's wife came from London to
him. He then sent for the three other
captains to come on board his ship to con-
gratulate him on his wifes arrival. After
they had thus met little conversation
passed between them in the cabin, when
Mrs. Burnaby suddenly started from her
chair and said to her husband, my dear
I'll tell YOU some news. Old Mr.. Booty
is dead ~
He directly answered, ave saw him
20 into hell" and told her what they had
seen, as before related, to her serious
alarm.
When Mrs. Burnaby had returned to
London she went to an acquaintance
and related this serious event that her
husband had seen the soul of Mr.. Booty
90 into hell the 14th of May last. This
gentlewoman then mentioned the same
to Mrs. Booty, widow of the deceased,
who Immediately took writ out of the
kings bench court in the penal sum of
G1,0OO damages, and arrested Capt. Bur
naby for defamation upon her late hus.

TO stand trial, and he then took out o
the court of the kings bench, in West

death; also the sexton of the parish,
