An Experiment With a Bride.

A bridal couple took our train from
Buffalo for Philadelphia, says writer
in the n. Y. Sun. and it was generally
remarked that they conducted them
selves as we'll as could be expected IN
der the circumstances. After about
four hours ride the groom got off at a
station where short stop was made,
saying to the bride that he wanted to
speak to a man, but saying to one of
the boys On the quiet:
when the train starts I'll get into
the car behind, and she'll think [ was
left. Then look out to see her go into
fits. I'll appear on the scene in time
to prevent consequences"
The program was carried out. As
the train started a drummer rushed
into the car and pumped himself down
beside the bride without a question.
and in five minutes he was talking
about the weather. Buffalo. Philadel-
phia, and dozen other things. She
grew interested at once, and did not
even appear to think of her newly
made husband. The latter waited
quarter of an hour and then he sneaked

half dead with anxiety. but she wasn't.
She was talking in very animated way
and when he came forward she looked
up and said:

were left. Sit down back there some

And for two hours he .''sot," while
that drummer held the fort. and
everybody was tickled to death. Later
on one of the boys said to him:
Your experiment didn't work as you
thought it would did it?n

ize the old order OF things. The difi.
Guilty in locating leaks in water and
drainage pipes is very great In New
York houses. and in such large estab-
lishments as the Vanderbilts and
Astors a man is hired by the year to
examine the plumbing and keep it in
good condition. But in spite Of such
rigid care the house drains will 90
casionally get defective and defy tho
most expert plumber.
= To meet the needs Of the modern
system of plumbing a genius in this
line Of work has tackled up sign to
the effect that he makes a speciality Of
locating leaks in the drains. The sue.
cess of this new enterprise was as
sured this week. The owner of Fifth
avenue mansion having reason to
suspect that the drains in his house
were defective. plumber after plumber
was called in to make examination.
But all to no effect. The leak could
not be found. AS last resort he called
in the new plumber. whose methods OF
procedure were SO entirely different
from those adopted by his other brother
tradesmen. Instead of bringing kit
of tools and a plumbers assistant he
brought into the house a mysterious.
looking basket Then requesting the
owner of the mansion to let him have
free access to all Of the rooms he pro.
ceeded to business. A strong infusion
of valerian was poured into the pipes.
Three large sleek-looking cats were
then taken from the basket and tho
establishment thrown open to theil
inspection. The plan succeeded mar.
velously well. As is we'll known, a
curious property of valerian is the at.
traction of its smell for cats. These
animals seem to snuff the odor from q
long distance, and will invariably fol.
low the scent The three cats thus
let loose soon discovered the two
leaks. at each one or two of them took
their position in order to enjoy the
pungent odOr at their leisure. The
leaks being discovered. the work OF
repair was very simple. The plumber
received good round sum for his
work and now enjoys an enviable rep
utation among the plumbers of the
city. His establishment will be we'll
patronized in the future, and his sue.

A generation ago-some thirty odd
years-when / was q freshman in Bur-
lington college. used to hear on my
visits to Trentona grist of queer stories
about Prince Murat, who once drove
a milk wagon in that town, and was
refused in marriage by score Of Tren-
ton bellies. None of the latter dreamed
that the seedy young farmer milkman
would ever be restored as a prince of
the empire, and the people from whom
he had borrowed money never dreamed
of being repaid. Times are changed,
and perhaps some impoverished old
women still survive at Trenton who
now wish they had married the milk
man, whose son, Prince Murat is now
thoughtto be a brilliant catch.-Phila-

each month the sheriff and collector shall
pay over to the territorial and county
treasurers all public funds in his posses
sion; the New MEXICAN is informed that
quite a sum of tax money has been col
lected by the sheriff and collector of this
county during the past few months, but
that no money has been paid over as the
law requires. None Was paid over on the
10th of the present month although it
goes without question that such should
have been done. What are the tax pay
ers of this county going to do about this
state of affairs? Are they going to let it
continue? Or will they put stop to it
on the 4th of November next by electing
G. M. Conklin, an honest man, to the
office Of sheriff and collector.

THE people of New Mexico must not
forget that under the Ross Doodle admin
istration, from 1885 to 1889, when this
territory was cursed with corrupt judges
and dishonest federal and territorial court
officials, the cost o. .unning the courts
was $160, 900 per year; the people must
not forget that, owing to wise and bene
nclal legislation passed by Republican
legislature over the. veto OF that Doodle
governor, put into Office by Grover Cleve-
land, and owing to jus, and honest adj
ministration of the courts, the entire ex-
pense of their administration for the first
swelve months of the present Republican
regime, amounted to only 100000, in
which sum there is included an estimate
Of deficiency in the pay Of jurors, etc.,
OF about 10000; this means that under
the Democratic administration the people
OF New Mexico were Systematically and
constantly robbed by corrupt judges and
dishonest court officials.
