WANT GERONIMO HANGED
But One Opinion Among the Settlers Of
New Mexico and Arizona.

1SCss "fiu zHHHzOnas
Ell PAso, TEX, Feb. Additional news
from the seat of war confirm the report of
Geronimo's unconditional surrender. The
particulars in full will probably be out in a
day or two. 1t has been in progress since
May, 1885, and troops have been in the
field since the 22d of that month. 1t has
been one of the hardest wars on the regular
soldiers that has ever occurred in the West.
The feeling in New Mexico and Arizona is
very strong in favor of hanging Geronimo
and all his immediate followers. In fact,
this feeling is rapidly growing into one
general demand on the part of the settlers

The Color Of the Eye.

Some curious researches have recently
been undertaken by Swiss and Swedish
physicians on the color of the eyes, but
without any apparent practical purpose.
For convenience all eyes were divided into
blue or brown, the various shades of gray
eyes being classified according to the prom
inence of blue or brown in their color
Some of the conclusions drawn from
great many observations are these: That
women with brown eyes have better pros
pect of marriage than those with blue !;
that the average number of children is
greater with parents whose eyes are dis
similar. In children both of whose parents
have blue eyes ninety-three per cent. in
herit blue eyes; but in children both of
per cent. have brown eyes. The above re-
suits were reached in Switzerland. In
Sweden the discoveries were not quite the
same. The women with brown eyes are
more numerous there than the men with
brown eyes, but brown eyes are apparently
increasing there, as in Switzerland.
