SOME RAILROAD NOTES.

The Texas & Pacific Railroad company
has issued circular at Dallas, saying {:
"Mr. s. F. Judy having resigned to &C.
accept the position of general manager
of the Pecos Valley railway, Mr.. j. B.
Paul is appointed acting superintendent
of the Rio Grande division with head
quarters at the Big Springs, Texas. In
effect June |, 1890,
And it now appears that the A., I. q
S. +. is to still further improve its west
ern through passenger service, and re-
duce the time between st. Louis and San
Francisco from l0S to ninety hours. 1t
is said this fast transit will 60 into effect
June 7. The California train will, for
the present, divide at La Junta, but
when the full service shall have been
,naugurated it will probably include
three fast trains. One will run through
complete to Denver, one will 60 to San
Francisco by through train direct, and a
third will be destined for lower California
and Mexico. There is little doubt that
this activity by the Santa Fe, which is a
product of the purchase of the st. Louis 4
San Francisco, will have noticeable eff
feet on other trans continental lines and
cause them to decrease their time. On
the ninety hour schedule from st. Louis
to San Francisco the average time OF
twenty-seven miles an hour, including all
stops, will be attained. This is the great.
est speed for the distance (2,434 miles,
that has been reached.
The Trinidad Advertiser sees the fol
lowing: "The Maxwell branch will some
day be extended to Las Vegas and then
on south to Fort Sumner and through the
Pecos valley to Roswell where it will join
the Pecos Valley railroad. From Pecos
station the line would in all probability
be extended on through the valley as far
as the Rio Grande river and then in ,
southeastarly direction to Arkansas Pas
and Corpus Christi. Such road as thi
would pass through one Of the most pro
ductive portions of the United States
Leaving Trinidad it would strike the tim

He's all right.
The Nebraska cattle sanitary commits
sion which recently visited Santa Fe and
other points throughout the territory, has
made its report to Gov. Thayer. Only
meager information concerning it is yet at
hand but it is announced that the COM
missions report was in every respect
favorable, and that az result the Nebras'
ka embargo against New Mexico cattle
has been raised by order Of the governor.
The water service for the capitol park
turns out to be quite too limited, especially
in the rear half, to keep the blue grass
growing. 1bree-quarter inch pipes for a
six acre park is not sufficient, and the
capitol commission will probably order
two inch mains laid instead. With ade.
ouate water service this park bids fair to
be one of the beauty spots in New Mex
leo.
A causual glance at newspaper
will show list of men who helped to
build up the town. If you see a good
sized, live advertisement in the paper by
each of the principal merchants, and
card from each Of the small ones, yor
need not inquire as to the prosperity Of
the town-its solid. But if you find
the most extensive merchants not sdver
Using their business, then you set il
down as fact that those who try to push
their business and the town with its in
terests, have hard time and an uphill
Journey all the year round.

The Girl Who Hints.

Naturally you didn't ask him, and
you would be very indignant indeed if
anybody suggested that you had forced
the poor fellow into bringing you the
flowers, candy, or in taking you to the
concert. No, you didn't ask him, but
you couldn't have been any clearer
about it than you were when you looked
into his eyes in your most beseeching
way and told him how anxious you were
to hear the great violinist; how sweet
you thought v%iolets, and how you did
wish for a pound Of chocolate. He
didn't want to get any Of these, he
hadn't the money to spend for them; he
doesn't get a very large salary, he is
trying to keep himself out of debt, and
yet because he is generous and can't
resist a pretty girl, you have forced him
into a dishonest position. That's it, in
plain English. When the end of the
week comes and he is ten dollars short
in his money, a little bit on his board
bill must wait, his laundress cannot be
attended to, and the money that should
go home must be apologized for. This
is the first step toward doing his duty,
and you have made him take it. The
American man is generous, and when he
has the money he will invite you him
self without yonr suggesting to him
what you like, Or what you think he
ought to do. Besides the harm you do
him, you are making yourself vulgar
he has a perfect right to go away and
say that he doesn't want to visit at
your house any more, because you hint
and hint until he has to take YOU to
some place of amusement, or make you
presents and that, for his part he. can
not afford it. Continue as you are do
ing and after while you will get the
reputation among men of being a very
undesirable girl to know, and certainly
no man who has heard Of your reputa-
ton to get things out of men, will
want to ask you to be his wife. Better
stay at home forever than go self-in-
vited; better never taste candy than
eat that obtained at the high cost of
self-respect; better never smell a violet,
or a rose than forget, in your search
for them, hat it is the modesty Of the
violet and the dignity Of the rose that
makes them pre-eminent among the
fowers.-Ladies' Home Journal.

McnAinD Day.

Every housewife should set apart one
day in each week for a mending day
its duties should be as religiously per-
formed as her daily devotions, says a
writer in Good Housekeeping. Which
day it shall be depends upon the usual
time Of getting the clothes in from the
wash. If that ~disagreeable work is done
at home, it should be done as early in
the week as practicable; the f%iannels
should be washed out and dried quickly,
so as to shrink as little as possible, and
to allow plenty Of time to air them, for
nothing is more ruinous to the health
than damp %fiannels.
If the clothes are all in by Thursday
evening, then Friday would be a nice
opportunity to lay out every garment
and put it through a rigorous examine
ton. 1t is we'll to have a special stock
ing basket, in which all the socks and
stockings are placed ready for inspec-
ton. 1t should be furnished with suit
able needles, darning cotton OF all
colors to suit the fancy hosiery, a pair

MAKING Il WILL.

ut is often Il nice question to decide
said a young law student the ether day,
whether a particular man is Of sound
mind and disposing memory, as we
sometimes say, and generally compos
mentis, when he to make his
will 1t does not do to put such things
off too long. l had, to go uptown the
other day to be the witness of the will
of a rich old codger whose children had
persuaded him after many years of
argument, to make his last will and
testament. He was too feeble to sit up
even, yet he seemed to think there was
plenty of time to dispose Of his prop
erty in, and that the whole thing was
indecent hurry on the part Of his chill
dren to see him in his grave. He was
too weak to resist their importantly
longer, however, and so he had con-
scented. I read the will over to him,
though I had my doubts from the first
if he was not too far gone to understand
it, and as Irolled off the big requests
this house to James, that to John: an
other to Mary, stock to his wife, and
the residue to he divided, etc, ETC., the
old man succeeded in whimpering out
why ch-ch-children,' you're leaving
nothing at all for m-m-me.' Now, l
think that will might be broken

Wasted Sympathy.

There is an awful lot Of wasted SYM
pathy in this world. We don't want to
sympathize with everybody, but there
are some people we want to %sympathize
with so badly that we will go so far as
to invent troubles for them to be able
to do it. When a girl loves fondly she
can't stand her sweetheart being always
happy. She wants to be a good angel
to him, and he's got to pretend to be
miserable sometimes just to let her feel
that she is a comfort to him. That's
why when lie tells her he's very tired
and wants to go home to bed she takes
him in her arms as if he were in the
deepest trouble and says: poor dar-
ling, poor darling!" Add she tells her
chum about poor George, who was SO
tired the night before that he couldn't
possibly sit up, and my heart just bled
for him" A woman would rather feed
the man she loves with jelly when he is
sick than eat frogs with him when he's
well.-San Francisco Chronicle.

GIVEN AWAY BY Il PARROT.

ooh, it was so funny" smiled the
jolly passenger, as he left a Tenth stree
car at Chestnut street and launched .
derisive smile at the bewildered con
ductor, says the Philadelphia EnQire1;
"Two women boarded the car at Wal
lace street. They weighed an even 200
each and, besides, carried two big
valises and a parrot. They were evi.
IDENTIFY uneasy at something and gazed
at the bird as ii afraid that his tongue
would break loose, 1t did after awhile,
but it served the woman right. When
the conductor made his way through
the standing crowd and presented his
hand for q fare. the larger Of the sisters
handed him a silver dollar. The knight
Of the punch extracted 5 cents from the
Bland and returned IS cents in change
to the passenger.
Then he applied to the other one for
fare and his Galway whiskers turned a
brighter hue when she coolly said: My
sister paid for me- In vain he argued
and protested against two people oc-
cupying three seats for one fare. AS he
turned despairingly away, his parrot
ship, who had been ~fidgeting in his
cage, electrified the car by shouting,
Mary, you're a dead beat 1t was too
much. The r~etreated parrot
and all, and as the smiles of the con-
ductor and passengers followed them,
an acquaintance said: One Of the
sisters taught the bird that sentence
because they're always swapping at each
Other.'"

FOUNDERS OF H1cn HOUSES.

1t is interesting to note the rise of
prominent men and see by what tide Of
circumstances wealth takes the place of
poverty. John Jacob Astor had his
store in Vesey street. He hired out to
a furrier at a dollar q day. He was
economical and saving and presently
began to buy cat tnrs and muskrat
furs, and when he had accumulated Il
a lot of them he took them to England
and sold them at a large profit. Then
he established his own business here,
and extended his connections westward
and northward until he became the
largest dealer in the country.
Commodore Vanderbilt was then run
ming q small ferry boat between the
quarantine station and New York. He
soon took charge Of a line Of boats be-
tween the metropolis and Albany. He
was Recommended to one of the pro-
p%rietors of the line in these words:
He'll take your boat to the mouth of
hell if you want linn to-" Vanderbilt's
girls were a wild kind of girls. They
used to sit on a counter of a grocery
store, swinging their feet and chatting
to the young fellows who were chatting
them.
The Lorillards had q snuff and TO-
bacco business. There were three
brothers, Jacob, George, and Peter,
subsequently changed to Pierre. At
ter they got wealthy nothing would do
but old Lorillard must have a carriage
and a coat-of-arms upon it. He chose
his co~at-of-arms: Who'd thought it,
snuff bought it," This made the peo-
pie laugh, and so he changed it after a
while, putting on in place, "Quid rides"
which means, AT what do you .laugh?"
His tobacco store wa in Chatham
street.

The garments which need mendinp

If they are pulling out by the roots, as
chlldrens buttons always do, a double

down on it, and the button replaced,
%concealing the hole entirely. It looks
much better than setting the button
higher or lower to gain a fresh founda-
ton.
Strings have a way of wearing half
off just where they are sewed on. They
should be cut, the old places ripped off
and a new sewing taken up, or else new

WHERE Il WOMAN SEES PERIL.

Il have been u street car conductor

patriarch on a Broadway car yesterday,
"and in all that time 1 have never had a

two blocks away before the car stops,
but 3 woman, never"
A prominent society lady was qres-
toned by a World reporter in regard to
this phenomenon and said:
This is n OF the perilous things a
woman will not attempt. Neither love
nor money o the siren voice Of fame
will tempt us to do it. A woman will
go into q lions cage Or travel around
the world alone, but she will not risk
getting up in a street car while it is

on the claim Of Boyer & Huffman.
1t was an irregular shaped slab four
feet nine inches in length and three
feet three inches in width, with an
