Juarez, and there abandoned it. They
cut the telegraph wire, and it was s
o'clock before telegram was received at
Juarez telling OF the robbery. The men
were Americans, hut there is no clue as
TO who they are or their whereabouts.
Speaking OF the matter yesterday, De-
tective Will Smith, of the Southern Pa
cltlc, said that in all probability the
thieves were headed by Barter, the Tex
as desperate and train-robber, who is
known to be one of the leaders of the
gang that manipulated the Flatonia
hold-up about year ago. Whittier and
Barter's brother were Of the same gang,
but they were killed during the recent
attempt to plunder train near Flatonia.
Barter is the only one who escaped, and
IL is deemed probable that he has organ

A BIG DEAL PENDING.
A Wealthy Syndicate Wants thu
Electric Road.

Electric Road.
The general feeling about town yester-
day regarding the sale of the cable road
was one of satisfaction. The business
men realize that the result will be very
beneficial to the city and think that it is
one OF the most important events in the
history of the city. cit MEANS" said an
influential merchant to a HERALD man
yesterday, "that we will be advertised in
the East as we have never been before.
The syndicate that has made the purchase
operates street-car systems in Chicago, In
dianapolis, Davenport, Rock Island and
Moline, and in each of their cars the
business men OF this city could for easy
terms have advertisements of Southern
California placed. l think that the real
estate men can afford to wear smiles on
their faces to-day"
ANOTHER IMPORTANT MOVE
Was announced yesterday. For some
time past the electric railroad on Pico
street has been in distress, for although
Colonel G. H. Howland, its President,
who put $4,000 besides the cost Of
his stock into the concern has
been indefatigable in his efforts
to make the road q success, he
has been poorly supported by his asso-
ciates. AS result the line went into
the hands of Receiver w. r. Blackman
in which condition it, at present stands.
The statement made, which is authentic
though not yet official, is that negotia-
tions are pending with wealthy syndi-
cate for transfer of the road. There is
every prospect of the deal going through
and if it does the syndicate state that
they will put the road in first-class condi-
ton and equip it as we'll as any of the roads
in the country. An eight or ten minute
service will be established and nothing
left undone to ensure ample accommoda-
tions for the residents along the line. 1t
will be remembered that some time age
an airline to Santa Monica was proposed
and finally incorporated, with Messrs
F. M. Reach, A. j. Haley, Eugene Ger
main and H. L. Flash as directors. This
road is surveyed to run from the heart o

The Two Bills.

The Mills bill reduces the average duty
to 42.6S per cent. The Republican SEN
ate bill reduces the average to 42.34 per
cent.
If tariff reduction means free trade the
Republican measure is therefore 0.45 per
cent. more of free trade bill than the
Democratic measure.
The Mills bill revises bnt eleven of the
fourteen schedules. The Senate bill re-
vises them all. If tariff revision is a
'first step towards free trade" the Re-
publican measure therefore takes three
more than the Democratic.
The Mills bill extends the free list so
does the Senate bill, and by nearly tine
same number Of articles. If one is free
trade for this reason, so is the other.
The Mills bill would cut off about
$75, 900, 900 of the surplus. The Senate
bill cuts off $72 100000. If there is "no
surplus" how dare the Republicans pro-
pose this I'm. Y. World.

BOYS WHO SUCCEED.
The Difference Between Jim and joe

The Difference Between Jim and Joe
What One Did, and the Other Did Not
Accomplish.
Of two boys with the same advan-
tages and equally good training, one
will succeed in life, while the other,
without being bad, ''never amounts to
any thing" as the saying goes. Per-
haps the following anecdote will ex-
plain something of the disparity in re-
suits.
A nurseryman left home for a few
days on business trip. 1t was rainy
weather, and not a season for sales,
but a customer did arrive from dis
lance, tied up his horse, and went into
the kitchen, where two boys were
cracking nuts.
lis Mr.. Barnes at home?" he asked.
NO" said Joe, the eldest, hammer
ing at a nut.
when will he be back?p
Dunno. Mebbe not for q week"
The youngest boy, Jim, promptly
jumped up and followed the irritated
stranger out of doors.
The men are not here" he said, in
bright and courteous manner, but |
can show you the stock"
The stranger was conciliated, and
followed Jim through the nursery, ex-
aiming the trees, and left his order.

l., Co. IL
pleased, on his return.
A few years afterward, these two
boys were left by their fathers death
with but three hundred dollars apiece.
Joe bought an acre or two near home,
and, although he worked hard, he is
still a poor, disconnected man.
Jim bought an migrants ticket to
Colorado, hired out as cattle-driver
for couple of years, and with his
wages bought land at $1.25 an acre,
built himself a house and married.
To-day his herds are numbered by the
thousand, his land has been cut up in
town lots, and he is one of the wealthy
men of the Centennial State.
81 might have done like Jim, said
Joe, resentfully, ''if I'd only thought
in time. There's as good stuff in me
as him.
Joe was right. He had the same stuff
in him, but it was not developed. The
quick, wide-awake energy which
causes boy to act promptly and bold
ly in an emergency is partly natural,
but it can be inculcated by parents,
and it is worth more than any gift of
nature Golden DdyS.

Their Artistic Attire and Graceful Mo-
tions Graphically Described.
In the middle of the square was Q
ring or coil of maidens, the eldest per-
haps twenty years of age, the youngest
hardly more than five years old. No
two were dressed exactly alike, yet
there was general similarity in style.
All wore long white skirts, some of
delicate materials and others of heavy
stuff. The overskirt, reaching to the
knee, was dark and full, hanging in
many folds. A broad belt of silk hung
below the waist An elaborate apron
of great variety Of color and decora-
ton, reached nearly to the ankles.
Each maiden wore a close-ftting vest,
generally of red, bright blue, or gilt.
This was cut low and round in front,
and served as stays. Over the upper
part of the breast hung a little stom-
acher, on which were strung jingling
gold and silver coins, the girls chief
dowry. Over and around the head
sometimes covering the lower part OF
the face), was wrapped a gray 'ker-
chief. Seven of the girls, however,
who always stood near the head of the
line, wore wells Of white tissue. The
maiden's sleeves showed no organic
connection with any outer garment;
fitted the arm closely and We're of some
silk stuff, with stripes running around
the arm. The whole costume was
bright with harmonious colors.
About sixty OF these maidens danced
together, with arms interlaced in a
double line, for hours. The dance was
led by one or two young men at the
head of the line-attached to the maid
ems only by means of IA handkerchief.
The music was only the humming OF
the girls-rarely did the words of the
song become really articulate. The steps
were simple, generally three forward.

. If one were satisfied with plain cedar
pencils, they would now be done; but.
fashion says they must be black or red.
So into big barrels go thousands at a
time, together with the red or black
coloring matter that is to paint them.
There the steam-power shakes them
back and forth, and over and over,
with great rattle and clatter, till
every pencil has its colored coat.
Now comes the last machine, and in
the factory | speak of, near New York,
it is a marvellous affair. At the begin
ming is a full box of pencils, which
drop one at time on the bed of the
machine. From here it is instantly
pushed through cup of varnish, and
comes out wet on the other side. At
once it falls on to an endless open belt,
which carries it slowly through hot
air box that dries it on the way. At
one point each pencil is registered, and
when ten gross have gone through
something drops that strikes a bell
and stops the machine. A man comes,
takes away the ten gross, and starts
up the machine again.
The gilt lettering and putting into
packages of one dozen are at present

time you are grown up a machine will
be cOntrived to do the whole thing

CONCERNING FAULTS.
Whatever May Be Their Cause There IL

Whatever May Be Their Cause There IL
No Merit in Them.
1t is difficult to define exactly what
we mean by a fault There is a popu.
lar impression, which is nearly cor
rect, that it is something irregular, but
that it lacks in magnitude or intent
something of that which goes to con.
stitute a positive sin. In many in
stances faults are simply irregularities
in execution, or mere inattentions,
negations, and almost always have the
quality of being incidental; not inten
tional, not purposed, nor the result Of
passion.
There are great many who suppose
that there is a merit in faults. We
think they do not discriminate very
wisely. 1t is true that perfect people
are the most disagreeable and intoler.
able people in the world-those so.
called perfect men that, in order moi
to speak wrong, never speak at all,
and, in order not to do wrong, do moth
ing; those cold, precise, inelastic, hard,
smooth, polished people, that are re.
garded as PERFECTLY themselves. II
is true that when you are in contact
with such people you hunger and thirst
for some roughness, and wish they
would break out somehow and seen
to be human.
There is an impression derived from
excess in that direction that faults are
signs Of fertile nature; like the bark
on wholesome trees; like gnarls and
knots on the oak; and people say thai
they would not want man to have
fewer faults, because they give kline
of robustness to character
Now, there may be certain kinds O
faults of which this is true-faults o.
manner, faults of irregularity - bui
this ought not to blind us to the mora
character and to the effects of faults
that involve principle, that touch the
question of benegolence and selfish
ness, that run their roots even deeper

ADVICE TO FATHERS.
A Few Suggestions Concerning When ant
How to Battle.

How to Battle.
Bathers should enter the water
swiftly, not allowing the lower limbs TIC
become chilled, thus driving the blood
to the head. Most of our boys plunge
into the water head foremost; but this
is not necessary. To submerge the
body up to the neck is enough. After
this the body resumes an even tenn.
perature, and when this course is fol.
lowed injurious results are rare.
The common belief that it is neces-
sary to wet the head upon entering the
water is based upon the assumption
that otherwise too much blood is i'm.
PEELED upward. This is not true if the
rest of the body is quickly immersed.
Ladies can not be expected to soak
their hair every time they battle, nor
is it necessary that they should do so,
A common error is that of remaining
in the water too long. Blue lips, shiv-
ering limbs and subsequent headaches
should be sufficient warning. A mar
after bathing is advised by physicians.
Sea bathing induces drowsiness, and
has the effect OF sedative and nerve
tonic; hence dip in the salt wator
Just before retiring for the night gen.
orally insures sound sleep. When the
water is colder than usual postpone the
bath. Because some robust people can
battle in and out of season, and stay in
longer than others, should not induce
sensible people to initiate them. Fiji.
teen minutes is quite long enough to
remain in the water under ordinary
circumstances, and for delicate persons
even that short space of time may be
injurious. Too violent exercise in the
water should be avoided. The axtrem I
fatigue which follows is in itself srdi'
eientevidence that it is injurious. Dr.,

was rather struck with the novel idea,
when boy of the Red School-house
told the dear Little School-ma' am bit
of news that lately had come to this
country from Austria. 1t appears
that Francis Joseph, the Emperor of
Austria, has a country-seat near
Vienna, and on this fine royal estate
is lake which in winter is used as q
skating pond. Well, during one of
the latest Austrian ''cold snaps" an
expert Vienna gentleman went skating
there, with little reservoir of ink
adjusted to the back of his skate in
such a way as to allow the ink to flow
out in a fine, steady stream. Then off
he started, and before he had skated
long, 1aere appeared in his rapid
track the name of the Crown Princess,
beautifully and plainly written upon
the ice.-,S. Nicholas.
