Death Of Mrs. Thomas <. Raker.

Mrs. Annie Nelson Baker, daughter OF
William J. Nelson and wife Of Thomas
K. Baker, all formerly of Staunton, died
at Lake Maitland, Florida, on Wednes-
day Of last week, March IS, 1881. aged
twenty-sx years Although she hati
been declining for q year with eonsump-
ton, and was not expected to live long,
her death was comparatively sudden
Two days before the end shewa able TO
walk about, and from the time Of her
going to Florida, ABOUT two months ago,
her condition apparently had undergone
some improvement. Her husband, EN- :
-couraged by the apparent change for the
better, had just returned TO ST. Paul,
Min, where for several years he has been
engaged in business as q tea and coffee
broker. Last fall, Oh account OF her del
ieate health, she went South from the
rigorous climate OF st. Paul to Roswell,
Ga, the home OF her husbands parents,
Rev. and Mrs. W L. Baker. She was
accompanied to Florida by her sister,
Miss Julia Nelson, who lives with her
father at II Ala, the present
home of the family.
The teleeriplhic announcement OF Mrs
Annie Bakers death awakened tender
memories lest week III the hearts of her
many friends i'll Stanton. But few
years ago she was a beautiful girl, i'll the
bloom of youth, and with bright hopes
for continued life and happiness. Her
husband and their little daughter We're
brought soon to bitter realization Of
the uncertainty OF this life and the van
ity of worldly hopes. Only in looking
to the great hereafter may he find solace
ia his bereavement.

the expressed intention OF congress to
especially develop and extend the interest
of agriculture. From this report lis seen
that the observing force outside of Wash
ington has been reorganized, and the
change is appreciated. The weather maps
have been improved, and the daily cotton
region reports are now sent to the several
state weather service headquarters, in
addition to weather bureau centers. A
similar service will be established for the
sugar-cane and rice interests Of south
Louisiana. Attention has been especially
directed, not only to the improvement OF
the weather forecasts, but to their wider
distribution in the agricultural districts.
Since the LIST OF July new weather serv-
ices have been organized in Arizona,
California, Florida, New Mexico, North
Dakota, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia,
Washington, West Virginia and Wyom-
ing.
The most practical and most highly
complimented portion of the exclusive
work OF the state services is the issue of
the weekly weather crop bulletins. More
than hundred new voluntary meteoro-
logical stations have been established and
equipped at the expense of the bureau
since July l, and nearly as many have
been established, but were furnished with
instruments at private expense.
On September 80 there were over 1900
weather signal display stations in opera
ton, an increase of about 100 per cent.
in less than three months. There are
now about 1920 voluntary observers
in the United States reporting to the
weather bureau, an increase of 400 in
three months, and steps are being taken
to cover the entire United States, so as
to leave no section without stations from
twenty to thirty miles apart.

THE NEW WEATHER SERVICE.

The New MEXICAN has received copy
of the report made by Prof. Mark W.
Harrington, chief of the weather service,
to Secretary Rusk for the first three
months of the present fiscal year and
since July l, 1891, the date of the transfer
of the weather bureau from the war de-
partment to the department of agricul-
ture.
Considerable good work seems to have
been done even in this short space of
time and the wisdom of the transfer OF
the bureau is becoming apparent. The
service already shows improvement and
increased efficiency.
The report says the service has been
recognized with view of carrying out

DON'T FILL THE BILL.

1t seems quite apparent that the so
called congresses where lot OF wire
pullers claiming to represent the senti-
ment of the people are assembled scarce
ly ever attain their object, as a rule. of
what they are cracked up to be. The re-
cent session of the Trans Mississippi con-
gress at Omaha proves no exception to
this general rule, and it has "resoluted"
and adjourned, probably never to again
get together.
There is no question but that the dear
people have good many grievances
which united action on the part of duly
accredited, carefully selected and fully
instructed delegates could aid in remedy
ing; but congresses like the one in Den
YER in May last and the latter one a.
Omaha simply can't do the business,
that is very evident.
Probably the better way in future will
be to act through the various home Or
CARNATIONS, such as boards of trade, and
other commercial clubs, usually composed
of the very best class of business men in
every community and whose position is
such that any utterance coming from them
officially may be taken as expressing
fairly and fully the sentiment OF the
community that supports them. By such
plan resolutions expressing the demands
of city or a whole state can more effect
ually be laid before congress, and where
the object will justify there can be united
action by such organizations covering
many communities or many states, and a
working delegation to proceed to Wash
ington to labor there among members OF
congress and personally explain the de-
mands of community or of several
communities working in unison will &C
complish far better results than those
which experience teaches are brought
about by this other class of gatherings.

The National Park Very Necessary.

The demand for the reservation OF forest
lands from sale and entry under the land
laws, exists in New Mexico as well as in
Colorado. II that territory the people
are asking that the mountain country,
which embraces the sources OF the Pecos
and Santa Fe rivers, be set aside as
national park. Everybody who knows
anything about New Mexico recognizes
that it would be good thing to make
this reservation. Very little OF the land
is ever likely to be available for agricu-
tural purposes, and the forests which it
bears ought to be protected in order that
the Pecos and Santa Fe rivers may have
as uniform flow of water as possible
