THE INTERESTS OF THE PEOPLE BIZ D.
A Big Debt for Santa Fe Tax Payers Z ro-
yiding 1t Holds Good,

There was deal on at the court house
yesterday which Taxpayers will learn OF
with amazement. The transaction refer
red to is nothing more nor less than the
refunding of $1,000 of county bonds,
owned by the Texas, Santa Fe & North
ern Railroad company, by the self-styled
county board of commissioners composed
of G. NJ. Dreamer and H. Martinez.
These bonds have all along been regard
ed as invalid, having been issued in ex-
cess OF the per cent limit of territorial
county indebtedness authorized by con-
gress, but now their holders have very
quietly worked their scheme, under way
for more than two years past, and had
them refunded" which, it is claimed by
some, to practically amount to new issue
of bonds and an acknowledgement by the
self-styled county authorities as a new
bond, binding upon the county and the
payment OF which can be enforced even
to the extent of impoverishing every tax
payer in the county.
The refunding was done at a special
meeting of Creamer and Martinez held at
the court house late yesterday afternoon.
All the county bonds, including the
amounts past due for interest held by the
T. S. F. & N. people were so funded, and
practically made valid, save s., 800 worth,
and these were not funded because there
is now in the county treasury sufficient
money to pay off this amount in cash.
The refunded bonds are to bear Sc per
cent interest, and are made payable in
gold, in New York city, which means
that the actual interest to be paid by the
Santa Fe county tax payers, Should the
action Of this board stand will be about
6 per cent

Ex-County Commissioner G. w. North
is in from the south end of the county
to-day and reports the Cash Entry-Cen-
trail mines as doing great business. A
second new pump was started yesterday
which will do away with the possibility
OF any further interference IN the work in
the future. The mines and concentrator
resumed work this morning with a large
force OF men. The concentration is work
ing nicely as respects the operation Of
silver and lead ores, but there has been
some difficulty about the perfect separa-
ton of the zinc ores. This is to be reme-
died by putting in additional machinery
to handle the zinc-lead concentrates ex-
clusively. The additional machinery for
this purpose has already been ordered in
Chicago and will cost about $4,000.

Gratitude of a Rattlesnake

did you ever hear of the remarkable
presence of mind displayed by McJunkin's
tame rattlesnake?' asked the snake editor
NO" replied the horse editor.
"Mc.Iunkin was out hunting one day,
and he came across rattlesnake on which
a rock had fallen accidentally in such a
way that the reptile could not get away.
Being humane sort of chap he lifted the
rock and released the snake, which ex-
pressed its gratitude in few joyful rat
ties aud then wrisgled away"
as that where the presence of mind
came iu?'
NO: ! am coming To that. \ year or so
after McJunkin was hunting in the same
locality, and was startled by hearing the
peculiar noise of the rattlesnake. Turn
ing, he found one of the reptiles following
him, and recognized the one he had been
kind to the year before The snake seemed
very glad TO see him, and followed at his
heels like dog. McJunkin was struck by
this remarkable case of gratitude in a
creature supposed to be totally devoid of
that quality, and he took the snake home
with him. After extracting its fangs the
snake was permitted the freedom of the
house
"One night McJunkin heard noise in
the room below, where his safe was stand
ing. Going down to see what the trouble
was he found burglars at work, but they
promptly gagged him. Mrs. McJunkin
followed her husband down stairs and
rushed to the window to give the alarm.
She had opened it about four inches when
she, too, was seized and gagged by the bur
glars.
about this time the snake, which had
been asleep under the safe, crawled out.
1t saw at a glance that the man who saved
its life was in dire distress. Wrggling
rapidly toward the open window il climbed
chair, thrust its tail out into the street
and made such loud rattle that the po-
lice arrived before the burglars could get
away and both of them were captured.-

Antiquity of "A Wedding Custom.

Doubtless the majority of persons think
that the custom of bridegroom being at
tended at his marriage by friend or rela
tive, who is popularity termed his best
man." is of modern origin. Nevertheless
it is of great antiquity, having been prac-
ticed by the early Saxons. In those days
marriages were invariably celebrated at
the house of the groom. The day preced
ing such an important event was spent in
feasting and preparing for the approach
ing ceremony, all of the bridegroom's
friends and relatives taking part in the
festivities.
Next came the groom's company,
mounted on horseback and armed from
head to foot. They proceeded in great
state. in regular order of family procedure,
under the command of an individ Lal called
the "forwistaman," or foremost man." to
receive and conduct the bride in safety to
the house of her future husband. The
blushing maiden was attended by her
guardian and other male relatives, led by a
stately matron, who bore the name of
'brideswoman, and followed by goodly
array of young damsels, who were known
as bridesmaids"
1t was from this ceremony therefore
that we of the present day derived our Gus
tom of having at weddings best man."
the Saxon foremost man" of ten centuries
ago being the prototype of that almost in
dispensable parsonage. From ne same
source also sprang those impor' ant female
attendants called bridesmaids Detroit

eighth year, and from his youth up has
been identified with the interests of north
ern New York and of the Democratic
law school at the age of %, and Immediately
began the practice of his profession. Ten
years ago other demands on his time be-
came so great that he retired.
Mr.. Weeds active political career dates
from 1864, when he was elected to the legs-
lature. He has served several terms as a
member of that body, always being sent
from district solidly Republican as to all
nominees save only Smith NJ. Weed. He
was close friend of Mr.. Tilden, and took
an active part in the latters nomination
for the presidency. Prominent in various
Democratic national conventions and as a
valued adviser in the councils of the party,
the fact that for a quarter of a century he
has had the backing of otherwise stanch
Republicans in his political contests is, to
say the least, rather remarkable. Perhaps
a reason for this may be found in the fact
that he has always "stood by" northern
New York, and controls large business in
terests in that section.
Mr.. Weeds personal appearance and
characteristics are those of man in SUI
perb mental and physical health. His
speech is animated rapid and to the point.
While conversing, his clear blue eyes
CLEAN with earnestness and his rudy
cheeks take on an added tinge to the hue
of health. Because of his facial mold and
beard he has some resemblance in looks tC
the late President Grant.
