CURRENT COMMENT.

The criminal department of the dis
trict court has been running long
enough now with Judge Hooker on the
bench to give an opportunity for a criti-
cal public to form their opinion of his
sentences and dealings with criminals.
1t is position which few men fill with
out receiving cenSure from all sides for
one reason or another. But with Judge
Hooker there seems to be no fault
found. To begin with, he appears to
be intent on dealing out exact justice,
and any one who is half mind reader
can see that the judge puts no small
amount of study into what the sentence
shall be. and that it often worries him.
In speaking of case of young fellow
whom he had sentenced to the county
jail rather than the penitentiary, he OBJ
served: Il tell you when see young
fellow like that who is convicted of his
first offense and who really seems peni-
tent, | believe in giving him chance
to redeem himself" Judge Hooker
surely has the right idea of justice.

Night before last. while a party of
gentlemen were coming up from the
Milwaukee depot, their attention was
attracted to a we'll known resort on
Washington avenue south by the stamp
ing of feet, schrill whistling and other
bOisterous applause. A big placard in
front announced "a ladies' orchestra
inside" The gentlemen stepped in
side, and the scene which greeted their
eyes was brutal in the extreme.
A lot of hangers-on and low
down tOughS were sitting around
tables drinking beer, while the floor
above. overlooking the stage, was occu-
pied by men and women whose appear
ance indicated that they belonged to
the same class. At one end of the room
a stage was occupied by the ''ladies' or
chestra,'' which was playing. while
beautiful girl, not over fifteen years
old, dressed in a variety costume, was
dancing. She was really a QUeenly
specimen of girlhOod, and by proper
care might have been belle anywhere,
but this life of vice. if it has not done so
already. will soon destroy all that there
is about her to admire.
1t may be that poverty drives young
girls into rest rts like this, but it is a
demonstrated fact that most of them
lose their good name and responsibility
in such places.

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPATcH.i
SILVER CITY, N. MEX, October 27.-
The timber question has suddenly been
brought very forcibly before the people Of
New Mexico. Special agents of the Gov
ernment are causing the arrest of lumber
men, lumber and logs are being seized and
mills are being closed down. Min
ing companies have been cautioned
not to use wood which has
been cut from Government lands, and fuel
famine in interior points not reached by the
railroads is threatened. For years the spe-
cial agents of the Government have har-
assed the lumber men here, but never before
have such summary steps been taken to
paralyze the chief industries of the Terri
tory. individuals have been sued for cut
ting timber on lands belonging to the Gov
ernment and the lives of mill men have
been made miserable by Government agents,
who appear to he determined that the resi-
dents Of New Mexico shall reap no benefit
from the timber which grows in the almost
inaccessible mountain ranges of the Terri
tory.
Consumers are driven to purchase lum-
Der in Texas or California for consumption,
in sight of the mountain forests of New
Mexico. If the present orders from Wash
ington are not modified every industry of
New Mexico will be seriously crippled and
many pioneers, who have undergone untold
hardships in their endeavor to open up q
new country and provide homes for their
families, will be compelled to leave.

HOwE's PLAIN TALK.
He Expresses His Opinion About the Broth.
erheod's Prospects.

Treasurer Howe. of the Cleveland club, is q
very frank and plain-speaking gentleman.
During an interview with Cincinnati Com
n1erctdl Gazette reporter on Saturday he said:
The action of the League players has
thrown q wet blanket over baseball, and I
think (no matter what may be the outcome of
the trouble) will tend to Injure the national
game. The men who have their money in
vested now heartily wish they were out Of it.
as for enc would sell what stock have in the
Cleveland club at great sacrifice. Before the
Brotherhood scheme developed the manage
ment of our club had made arrangements to
build up the team for next season, and we had
our lines out for two or three good men. Ne.
gotIations ceased as soon as the Brotherhood
plot came to light, for we did not care about
future of which is shronded in SO much uncer-
tainty."
"Then you really think the Brotherhood is
agof'

and the players one and all are bound together

can't tell. In at least three cities of the League
they will be able TO get strong financial back.
ing. namely, New York, Boston Chicago and
possibly Philadelphia In Cleveland there can
not be found a man who would be willing to
take nickel's worth of stock in the Brother
hood. Johnston. l understand, has agreed to
furnish the club in our city with a ball park,
but that is all the further he will go in the mat
ter. as he could never be induced to take any
stock in the Cleveland club. He will possibly
put up fence for them and some cheap
stands. The plot Of ground selected is on one
of his lines of street railroads. In Washington
indianapolis and Pittsburg the Brotherhood
would be unable to get any substantial back
ing. Five of the League clubs stand inde-
pendent They can better afford to fight the
Brotherhood than coucede too much to them.
Ward, Keefe and Pfeffer are the disturbing
elements. John Montgomery is due TO drop
and appreciating this fact has planned the
Brotherhood scheme, which, if successful,
will insure him a position with a fat salary.
The same is about true of Keefe and Pfeffer"

OMAHA, NEB., October T.-The ALI
America party has had day without q
tiresome fear. The sky from sunrise to sun
set was without heck of cloud. AT IL
o'clock the entire party mounted what
are here designated as Concord stages,
seating nine people on top. There were
six horses before each stage, and the
functions of living were exhilarated
and gIaddened by the ride in the sunshine:
The greatest smelling works in the world
were visited. The ore, with its gold and
silver ores, was watched in the process OF
disclosing them, until at last room was
reached where the silver and the gold lay
in bricks. Fifty-six bars Of bright silver
bricks were piled, each worth 81 100. And
upon the top Of the heap were three richly
yellow Jumps of gold. Signor Calvo, Of
Costa Rica. lifted one with some exertion,
although only inches long, ~ inches
wide and ~ inches thick.
'You have in your hand $6, 500 worth Of
metal" remarked the superintendent who
stood near, and there was a curious express
sion of interest upon the faces of the foreign
ers, as, one by one they weighed in their
hands the rich metal chunks. In one corner
of the assay house was heaped FIVE feet high,
a pile of granulated copper, before the gold
and silver had been separated. A scoop
shovel lay near. Using the shovel the guide
took up few pounds which was examined.
There's enough value in that heap to buy
the three best farms in Nebraska, +" remarked
the attendant, and again the visitors wore
expressions of wondering interest
On the hotel tables at dinner and supper
was lavish supply of California fruits and
wines brought on by Delegate Estee, and all
of which elected the warmest eommendation
of the foreigners. Before leaving. each OF
the party was presented with souvenir Of
Omaha, steers horns, brightly polished,
decorated with ribbons and filled with fancy
little sacks, each containing a sample Of
Nebraska grain. e.

last night about 200 men drove
out from this city to the disputed crossing,
where they Joined the D., c. & N. forces,

in their arrangements to prevent the
crossing. About so feet east Of the
proposed crossing was town road which
crossed the Manitoba track. They were
compelled by law to keep this road open.
The Duluth, Crookston and Northern peo-
pie, however, had obtained permission from
the town authorities to use it temporarily
as crossing. When, therefore,
they found that, even with their large force,
they were unabied to get over at the original
point, they put men ana teams to work and
by daylight had the new line laid within
few feet Of the Manitoba tracks. Then the
fun commenced.
The Manitoba men had not previously in
terfered, but were then ordered by Superin-
tendent James and were about to do so. He
was Immediately arrested, and, notwith-
standing vigorous resistance was carried
off to Jail An attempt to rescue him
failed, the Duluth, Crookston and Northern
forces being greatest. In obedience to or
ders from Superintendent james, Manitoba
engineers wrecked fat cars and engine on
the track and prevented their removal,
whereupon they also were arrested. After
a long argument of the case the Duluth,

HAwKINsvILLE, GA, October N.-A
horrible murder was committed last night
IL miles from here across the Hous-
ton county line. William Miller, an
aged farmer, was killed and his wife nearly
killed. Mr.. and Mrs. Miller live alone.
They were sitting by the fire reading, and
each had a small lamp. Mrs. Miller
heard her husband say, "Don't do that. I"
Then she felt herself struck and was
knocked unconscious. When she regained
consciousness she heard the clock strike 12.
She saw that Mr.. Miller was apparently dead,
and she was AFRAID to call for help, fearing
that her assailant was still there. She lay
there until o'clock when she called for
help. Her calls were soon answered by
the cook, whose house was 40 yards distant.
When the cook came in, Mrs. Miller
asked to be put to bed. On the bed was the
az which had struck the blows, and the
marble top Of the bureau, which had been
removed from its place to enable the mur-
derers to rife the drawers. Mr.. Miller's
pockets were rifed. A reward has been
offered for the arrest of the murderers.

Where They Are.

PHILADELPHIA, October T.-When ques-
toned regarding the story sent out from the
West, in which it was stated that the National
League and American Association would con-
solidate. and the minor players be purchased
and CLASSIFIED, Al Reach said tonight:
There is nothing whatever in the story. It
is manufactured entirely out of the whole cloth.
There is no likelihood of an amalgamation of
the League and Association, nor of the minor
league players beng purchased as a whole by
anybody. Right here would venture to pre-
dict that the League players will be found
playing with League clubs next season. Not
that I do not bslieve that an attempt will be
made to organize Brotherhood league, for
think the leaders in that move are in earnest
and will do their best to carry the project
through; but the more hear of the matter the
more become convinced that the cool-headed
players will decide to hold on where they are,
on the principle that a bird in the hand is
worth two in the BUSH"
The following players have signed with the
Athletic club up to this evening: Welch, Sew
ard, Robinson, Lyons, Bausewine and Charles
Esyer, new pitcher from the Royal Smyrna
