THE COMMON DISEASE.

The plan contemplated in bill in the
legislature to hold the intoxicated party
amenable for his degradation does not
meet the views of considerable class
of reformers. They insist that drunken
ness is disease, and that fine or i'm
prisonlnent Will have no effect in abating
its symptoms. For the sensitive man
who has standing to maintain, the asso-
citation with the low-grade classes in the
hands Of the law might have some eff
feet; but persistent .inebriety is held by
the best medical authorities as dis
ease needing good nursing and as care

No Hone for New Mexico.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.--Mr. Spring
er's action in reporting to the house a
substitute bill for the admission of New
Mexico has been made the basis of para
graphs recently printed predicting the
passage of a bill to admit New Mexico
before the adjournment of congress.
There is little foundation for these
statements. There is no hope that New
Mexico will be admitted by this con-
gress. Even if the house was in nor
NAL condition, members of the senate
committee On territories say the bill
would hardly pass that body, and it Ger
tainly would not pass the senate.

Capt. Anton Ostrom, of the First

rection:
An alleged synopsis of the report Of
the inspector general for 1888 was
printed Tuesday, which does a great in
Justice to the company of which l am
commandant, and | write to ask you to
correct the error. The report published
was that made by the inspector in 1887,
when Capt. Markoe was commandant.
and was as follows:
Z The troop has not. as far as ! am able
to Judge, made any progress whatever
during the past year. for which there
hardly can be any eXcuse,as it has all IA
eilities at hand for making a good COM
pany-splendid drill hall and excellent
material. The attendance during the
YEAR has been inexcusabiy, poor, the
number present at regular drill meet
iings falling as low down as fifteen men
out Of eighty-twO carried on the rolls.
There are many men who have been
absent from drill continuously for
months. OF the duplicate inspection
rolls handed to the inspector one gives
the total strength as eighty-four, while
the other fixes it as seventy-niue. The
men are poorly instructed and ineffi-
cient. | am unable to give any salts
factory explanation of this discouraging
condition of the troop unless it be unfit
ness on the part of the captain to hold
the position of commanding officer. The
troop ought to be either mustered out
or completely reorganized.
That the injustice to my command
may be repaired, would like to have
you publish the following, which is the
correct report of the inspector general
of my company for 1888: .
! First Troop Cayairy-Inspected May

ElOped Living in Boarding

DETROIT, Feb. 25.-Three weeks ago
occurred the elOpement of Oakes Ames
and Miss Emily Watson, Of st. Paul.
They came here and stopped at the
Russell house. Ames is a cousin
OF Gov. Ames, of Massachusetts. He
has recently attained his majority and
S5O000D. Miss Watson was the pretty
assistant pOStmistress of a suburb Of
ST. Paul. Ames and his bride nestled
costly in the Russell for about ten days
and then hied themselves to boarding
house quarters that people in AmeS'
st. Paul circle would call cheap.
Ames has found intervals in the
honeymoon to see the elephant in
all its different forms. A rounder tells
how he met Ames the other
night: sit was after closing hours
when in came farmer-lOoking chap.
He wore heavy fur collar on his over
coat, and | would haye bet you my last
dollar that it was the first time he had
left the village. Well sir, you could
have knocked me down with feather
when he was introduced as Ames, of st.
Paul, the man who had half million
in his own name. Ames drank good
deal, and made several reckless bets on
races to be run next summer.

The Joint Committee Selects

A SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING,
Proposals for Constructing q Mum
Der of Buildings to be Ad-
vertised For.

The Joint Committee on School Sites,
consisting OF the members of the Council
and of the Board OF Education, met yes
terday morning, President Frankenield
in Che chair, and Messrs. Powers. Wirsch-
ing, Whaling, Gospsr, Mcintosh, Wood
bury, Pomeroy, Summerland, Frew and
Hamilton present.
Mr.. Pomeroy, for the Third ward, re-
ported that he and Major Bonsall had
looked at the sites in the neighborhood
of Union avenue and Collado street,
and had found that the citizens objected
to the selection of the site formerly
recommended, on the ground that resi-
dences were to be erected on three of the
corners, and other property would do as
we'll for school. They, therefore, recon-
Dahn, of = lot 1S0x140 on Collado street,
for $4,000, be accepted. They also recon-
mended that the offer of Mrs.
Blanchard Of site on Beaudry
street, near Second, for S. 800, be &C.
copied. This would cause an expendi.
ture of more than the amount set aside
for the ward, but Mr.. Pomeroy thought
that enough would be obtained by the
sale of the Pearl street school property
to make up for this. The recommends
tions were adopted.
Governor Gosper moved that the Sec
rotary be requested to prepare list of
the sites for which the plans for buildings
had been prepared, and that the Council
be requested to ask for bids for con-
structing the same. He said that there
were bids to be obtained for three two
room buildings, Elk four-room buildings
and one eight-room building.
Mr.. Pomeroy moved, as an amend
ment, that the Council be requested to
ask for bids for the construction of the
buildings according to the plans of each
architect, so that the architects could all
have a chance and the cost be kept
within the amount raised by the sale Of
bonds.
The amendment was accepted and the
motion was carried.
The committee then adjourned.

tract existing between the Santa Fe and
the consolidated lines known as the
Oregon Short Line and Utah Northern,
OF which the Utah Central is o member.
That some form of contract exists is
known beyond question, and that these
provisions are involved is reasonably GER
tain.
In spite of the fact that information
hiss come by telegraph that the Union
Pacific officials have formally announced
that the extension of the Utah Central
line will be continued as rapidly as pos
sible to Barstow, that the line will come
to Los Angeles, and that Redondo will
be the terminal point, the local railway
officials still decline to believe
that there is anything in it. Two
directors of the Union Pacific road
will visit this city next Sunday, and it is
not impossible that they may be pre-
pared to make definite statements with
regard to the purposes of the road. IL
must be remembered that the position OF
the Union Pacific as railroad corpora
ton is such with regard to the United
States Government that it cannot on its
own sccount undertake any railroad
building. 1t is, however, possible for the
stockholders Of the road 70 back the eff
forts of any connecting line, like the
Utah Central, to put through an extern
sion which would practically be an ex-
tension of the Union Pacific.
