The Las Cruces Democrat gives
the names of the several ladies APP
pointed by Mrs. f. i. Albright, one
of the lady managers for New Mexi-
co of the Worlds Columbian exposi-
ton, during her recent visit to that
city,with the names of the respective
committees. The mere announce
ment of names of the several com
mittees indicates the immense work
to be done by the ladies of New Mex
ico in this particular apartment.
Mrs. Albright assigned to each chair
man the duty of selecting her own
assistants, in that way securing har-
niony and cooperation in the various
committees. The following are the
committees: On fine arts, photo
graphs, filigree and native jewelry
and precious stone; carvings in vari
GUS metals; silk and silk culture;
private collections, laces and old sill
yer plate; art, necdlework, embroid-
cry and tapestries; drawn work;
hand sewing; colonial exhibit; or
naments made of hair, etc; miner
al waters; recipes for cooking Amer
icen and Mexican dishes; finance;
press. The work to be done by
these committees will call for
active and we'll directed effort by the
women of New Mexico. 1t is fair
to conclude that in the branch of
work under Mrs. Albright similar
committees will be, or have been
appointed to all counties. The In.
dies of San Miguel should not be
outdone by their sisters elsewhere.
If any feeling has existed amongst
them, it should be speedily harmon
lied and all unite in giving from
San Miguel the best exhibit in the
territory. The decided stand taken
here imposes on our ladies the duty
of giving to the work extra attention.
In unity there is strength. Ladies,
push along the good. Push 1t ac-
lively upon broad and liberal plan,
one just to all.

NO LOAN WANTED.

CHICAGO, April l6.-World's Fair
directors, Winston and Odell, re-
turned this evening from Washing
ton. Mr. Winston said they had
been in Washington but a short time
when they discovered that congress
would not vote money for stock in
the exposition. Therefore he and
his colleagues changed tactics and
told Chairman Durborow and his
his committee that a loan would be
accepted.
"Not having time to consult . the
directory, we did what we thought
was best" said Mr.. Winstron.
Vice President Higinbotham, how
ever, says the directory will not ac
cept loan.
"Chicago cannot afford to put her
self in that position" he says "It
the government thinks it is not re
sponsible for any part of the exposl
tion's success, we shall have to &c
ahead and complete the work our
selves. We cannot afford to borrow
from the government-that would
take away the national character Of
the exposition and make it appear tC
be private enterprise dependent OF
public bounty"
A meeting of the directory is to b'
held tomorrow, when the matter vii
probably come up for settlement.

Some of the Chicago papers are
fighting hard against the proposition
to close the Worlds fair on Sunday.
The Herald plaintively says:
1--WE shall have during the fair
100000 people day probably, in ad-
dition to our own citizens. Is it
within reason that they shall be ex-
cluded from the art galleries of the
fair Sundays and left to the degreda-
ton and insult of rum, gambling and
other vices?"
This sounds bad and should set the
friends of the Sunday closing of the
fair to hard thinking. So there is no
alternative for the visitors of the eX'
position between having chance to
spend their Sundays at the fair OF
finding advertisement in the abodes
of "rum, gambling and other vices
Chicago has nothing else to Offer
its visitors on Sunday. We feel a
deep and growing sympathy for the
million of people who live in Chica

Sabbath in the way indicated by the
Herald. No wonder Chicago is a
wicked place.

The trial of the case of the terri
tory VS.. Ferd Falkner on the charge
Of murder was commenced in the
district court this morning. This is
one Of the most important cases to
be tried at the present term of this
court. The case comes to this coun
ty for trial on change of venue
from Colfax county, taken by the
defendant at the last term Of the
court at Colfax county.
The facts of the case are about as
follows:
About the Sth day of August last, a
man by the name of James Lannon
was on his way with team to Texas
from Trinidad, Colo. On the road
he was met by the accused, Falkner,
and he took Falkner in the wagon
with him. They travelled together
until they reached a point near Fol
som in Colfax county, where they
camped for the night. The next
day the dead body of James Lannon
was found in a ravine near where
they had camped for the
night, and the accused, Falk-
ner, with the team and wagon
of the murdered man, was gone
Parties took up the trail of the
wagon, and overlook Faulkner with
the wagon and team near Clayton
and he was charged with the murder
which he denied.
The defense, we are informed, will
be the plea of insanity, claiming that
the accused Faulkner is an escaped
lunatic from the insane asylum al
Pueblo, Colo.
The case is being closely fought
by L. G. Fort, district attorney fol
the territory, and Salazar and Leaby
for defense.

Am Interesting Question.

a very interesting question is before
congress and the American Bar associa-
ton arising out of the unfortunate mas
sacre of the Italians in New Orleans.
The relations between this country and
Italy were strained nearly to the point
of war. Diplomatic intercourse was not
discontinued, but Baron Fava, the Ital-
ian minister, was recalled.
The issue in the controversy arose
from the conduct of the mob that broke
into the New Orleans Jail and killed the
Italians who had been arrested for the
murder of the chief of police. For
everything done by the people of the
city, and for everything done or left
undone by the government and courts
of the state of Louisiana, the federal
government was responsible to Italy
The men engaged in the outrage were
acquitted, and this government recog-
nized its moral responsibility at least
by paying small sum of money to sur
viving sufferers.
The question before congress and the
Bar associations international law COM
mittee is clear. What remedy is there
for condition of law, international and
domestic, under which the United States
is responsible to foreign government,
even to the point of war, for the acts of
the people and courts of a single state?
It is an interesting and important ques-
tion and one in which the whole coun-
try is concerned. .-Harper's Weekly.

Bright Old Men in Essex County

Essex county, Mass, has been noted
not only for its legal lights like Rufus
Choate, Caleb Cushing, Judge Story
and others, but also for its deputy
sheriffs, some of whom have served
many years.
Of one of these men, Daniel Potter,
many amusing stories have been told.
At one time he entered newspaper
Office in Salem, and addressing the only
scribe who was in sight said:
'I thought 1 would tell you that to-
morrow shall go where never went
before and can never go again."
The scribe, knowing his caller,
promptly ''gave it up" and then Mr..
Potter said:
sIt is into my eightieth yearr'
Some years ago these old deputies had
gathering at the home of a certain one
of their number in Gloucester. While
they were roaming about the house the
host called the attention of his guests to
an old clock, great favorite of his.
He told his friends of his great attach
ment to this ancient timepiece and grew
quite pathetic at certain points in his
remarks, which he brought to a close
by saying in voice full of emotion:
"Gentlemen, have wound up that
clock every night for more than forty
years."
He had evidently made an impression
on his visitors, when one old deputy,
who had been carefully examining the
clock, turned the tide of feeling evoked
by the story by saying dryly:
sWell, I always did think you were
something of an idiotl That's an eight
day clockI"-Youth's Companion.

Brutal Assault.

A most brutal assault was made on Mr..
A G. Phelps at Collins Landing, Wash,
Wednesday noon by halt-breed Indian.
Mr.. Phelps, who has been a sufferer from
rheumatism for several years, was walking
near the house with his cane, when the half
breed, whose name we could not learn. was
driving some cattle through the enclosure.
The old gentleman requested him to put the
fence up after he had passed his stock
through. This led to an alteration.
and the infuriated half-breed jumped
from his horse, grabbed the stick ont
of Mr. Phelps hand and struck hlm
over the head with it two or three terrible
blows, Infictlug an ugly scalp wound and
cutting his face over the eye. He then re-
mounted his horse and rode away. Mrs.
Phelps, on looking out, saw her husband
staggering and the Indian getting on the
horse. She helped the injured man to the
house and bandaged his wounds as we'll as
she could. When the Regulator came to
the landing she took her husband and came
to this city. when DIR. Hollister was called.

and have no desire to repeat the expert
ment. 1t was out in Colorado, where
less chasms that you could drop your
hat into them, and make turns so short
and sudden that it nearly disjoints your

was an old friend of mine and gave me
permission to ride over the road on the
engine of the lightning express. The
engineer did not appear to fancy my
presence much, but treated me civilly.
We were behind time, the night was
black as Erebus, and a terrific thunder
storm was raging. The engineer was
determined to go in on time, and the
way he rushed around those curves and
across canyons was enough to make a
mans hair turn gray.
"The peculiar thing about these noun

curve like any other vehicle. They go

sure that they are clear of the track and

around and leave you to wonder by what
miracle you have been saved. The

The Prohibitionist Vote.

The election returns of the last four
years give some interesting information
as to the strength of the Prohibition
party and its distribution. In 1888, at
the last presidential election, the party
cast 240,907 votes, which was a little
more than 81 per cent. of the total vote.
In the congressional elections two years
later, 1890, the vote was lighter, being
19S,SS0, but the percentage remained
very nearly the same, being little over
Q per cent.
But while this was the proportion of
the total national vote the power of the
party in the several states is by no
means indicated by it. In 1888 there
were electors named in every state but
one, South Carolina, and the vote ran
from Al in Nevada to S0,231 in New
York. In Wisconsin it was 14,277; in
Minnesota, 1871; in Pennsylvania, 2O,-
947; in Michigan, 20, ,942; in Illinois, 3D.
sos; in Ohio, 24,35O. In some of the
states the proportion was nearly per
cent; in several it was between and
per cent.-Harper's Weekly.

A OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Rai1road rioket.

A young railroad man of Pomona has
come to the front with an invention in
the way of ticket that will bring him
fame and an enviable bank account. 1t
is simply this: The purchaser of an IRON
clad ticket is not to be required to write
his name or make any formal declara-
ton as to his intention in regard to the
ticket. Nothing of the kind. The agent
who sells the low rate round trip points
his little camera at you while he gives
you your change. 1t records the image
of the purchaser in an instant. The
agent pulls out the slide, rubs his chemi-
cal sponge over the sensitized' paper and
there you are. In the upper left hand
corner of the ticket. he pastes that pic
ture, puts it in under a stamp that en-
bosses the edges, and unless you can
find somebody that looks enough like
you to risk the chance Of return on
your image the ticket will carry the
original purchaser and nobody else.-

scarfs That Demand a Pin.

The scarfpin should always be worn
with the fat, madeup scarf. There is
a place for its insertion, and by seeming
to hold ittogether it attains a utilita-
rian phase, in that it is an aid in gloss
ing over the percentage of madeup sug-
gestiveness that is always more or less
associated with the initiative article.
The madeup fiat or puff scarf, if worn
without scarfpin, discloses its arti-
ficiality in all the badness of its me-
chanical inferiority. 1t is a curious
paradox in the fashions, therefore, that
the soaring that does not actually need
the scarfpin in reality requires it most
of all.
