uniform rate for such maintenance
1t was believed that the counties,
until the Legislature should other
wise provide, could thus better care
for their insane, in building espe-
clally provided and furnished fol
that purpose, than in the counties
where 10 conveniences are at hand
1t was estimated that the patients
could be subsisted and cared for al
rs cents per day, and the secretary
and treasurer of the board was in
structed to correspond with the vari
GUS boards of county commissioners
and offer to care for the insane pa
tients at the rate above stated.
Communications were sent out &c
this effect May 10th, but to this time
none of the counties have availed
themselves of the opportunity thus
offered. The building is being fur.
nished and everything being placed
in readiness for occupation as rapidly
as the means at the command of the
board will permit.
Since the foregoing was written
the secretary and treasurer has re-
ceived communication from the
board of commissioners of the county
of Eddy accepting the offer of the
insane asylum directors, and accord
ingly, as soon as the building is open
for occupation, the patients from that
county will be received,and of course
like action will be taken in all other
counties accepting the offer of the
board and making provisions for their
insane persons.

subsidies promised by the city of FL
Paso, 100000 and ground for depot
and terminals, were withheld. BY
the purchase of this line Gould only
secures a right of way through the
streets, but if the people of Denver
mean business the old subsidies
offered will hold good, for the people
of Ell Paso are friendly to Denver.
"Denver has plenty of railroads, but
it has no feeder, which is the kind Of
a road it needs, and that is just what
the projected road would be. The
capitalists of st. Louis are already
much interested, and if the Denver
people desire to do anything it must
be done quickly. All that the citi-
zens of Ell Paso ask is that construc-
ton shall begin simultaneously from
Denver and Ell Paso, when they will
do their share" -Denver News.

ASYLUM NEWS.

The directors of the New Mexico
insane asylum met yesterday in spe-
clal session, the regular meetings be-
ing the first Tuesdays after the first
Mondays of each month. There
were present Governor Prince, E. v.
Long, Benigno Romero and Carl
Wildenstein, and considerable bust
ness was transacted.
After DR.. Gordon became the med
ical superintendent, he advised, as
being necessary, the construction of
six cells, especially adapted to pa
tients violently insane. The board
found room in the basement for this
additional convenience, advertised
for bids, and John Hill, being the
lowest bidder, the work was some
time ago let to him, for the sum of
$500. The work being completed
according TO contract was yesterday
turned over by Mr.. Hill to the board,
and was received and paid for.
The question of water supply is
one which has engaged the attention
of the directors from the beginning,
there being periods occasionally, in
very dry times, when, as demonstrate
ed by past experience at the Railroad
hospital, situated just above the asy-
lum building-formerly receiving its
supply entirely from the water works
the supply is deficient. To meet
this inconvenience at such times, and
also to furnish a full supply for the
use of the building, if the
same can be done, the directors
determined to dig a well on the
asylum grounds near the building.
The work Is now progressing favor
ably, so feet in depth having been
reached, and it is believed from pres
ent indications that within the next
25 feet full supply of pure water
can be obtained. George w. Ward
and Benigno Romero constitute a
special committee to prosecute this
work.
Some time ago, owing to the alb
sence of funds necessary to open and
continue the institution, the directors
determined to complete and furnish
the building, put it into condition
ready for operation, and to offer to
the various counties to receive and
care for the insane of the several
counties upon the same terms for
each patient the counties, to pay a

Ell PAso AIR LINE.

A. ID. Bramhall, of ri Paso, Tex,
one of the largest property holders of
that city, who is very much inter
ested in the projected Denver &c FL
Paso Short Line railroad, was seen
at the Metropole by a News reporter.
He is full of enthusiasm over the
project, but appears to think that
Denver capitalists are disposed TO
lag behind IN the enterprise. Re fer
ring to the recent deal of Jay Gould,
whereby he purchased the FL Paso
Northern, short piece of road which
was projected in 1887, butwhIch was
never completed, he said:
"When this road was projected it
was the intention TO build it to
White Oaks, but construction ceased
after ten miles of track had been
laid, because the contractor failed to
carry out his obligations, and the

WHY He TAGGED THE TRAIN.

One of Michigan's railroad COM
panies decided to establish freight
and ticket Office at R, small flag
station in the southern part of the
state, and the grocery keeper of this
hamlet was commissioned as agent.
The first morning he awoke about 5
o'clock, and hearing the "limited"
whistle in the distance, hurriedly
slid into his trousers and, without
stopping to finish dressing, dashed
down the stairs, flag in hand, ran out
upon the platform and began wildly
waving the flag across the track.
The train stopped, the conductor
alighted and, seeing no one but the
agent in sight, turned to him with
the inquiry:
Where's your passengers?"
Haven't any" replied the agent,
as he made another grab to keep his
trousers from falling down.
"Then why in thunder did you
stop us?"
"W-well. [I-thought per
haps there might be some one who
would want to get off here"

The WATER QUESTION.

The more it IS discussed the more
apparent it seems that if a franchise
is granted the new company the city
will be no better off than before, and
perhaps worse off. There is nothing
to prevent either company buying
out the other and then using the max
imum rate in order TO make up the
loss they have in buying, and our re.
cent sad experience in the electric
light business shows what can be
done in that line.
But if the new company goes
ahead and puts in works, how much
better are they than the old one?
The ordinance. only calls for six
inch pipe into the town, and we have
that already. If the Aqua Pura
company cannot furnish enough
water now through six inch pipe,
how can we get any more than they
furnish from the new company with
a pipe of the same size? The Aqua
Pura company acknowledges that
its pipe is too small, and intends to
put in an eight inch pipe before long,
and that is better than the new COM
pany offers to do.
In addition to having a higher
tariff of rates, the city itself is bound
to pay $4,000 per annum for its by,
drants, while as it now stands the
county pays for all hydrants until
1896. 1t is thus just that much add.
tional tax for the city to pay, while
it has all it can now do to pay run
ming expenses. And the saving in
insurance rates, with no better fire
facilities than a six inch pipe will
give, will be found not to be cent.
The exemption from taxation is
another very bad feature of the ordi
nance. While making all the money
possible out of us, with rates from
so to 100 get cent higher than now,
the company pays no taxes at all.
But the worst feature we see in the
whole charter is section IL. BY
that section it is provided "that in
the event of a shortage of water
either in case of continued drouth
accidents or other causes" the water
is to be first supplied for domestic
use. If Mr.. Voorhees, does not fur
nish wholesome water the trustees
can force him to by fines and by re
voking his franchise. But if this
were attempted it would bring on
law suits and it would take long
time to adjust matters. 1t leaves
matters in just about the same shape
as the Aqua Pura company is now
in, and, as we understand it, they
can be made to come to time just as
easily as another company could il
the business was pushed.
If we are to have new waterworks
why not let the city put them in and
furnish the water at cost to its citi
zens9 This certainly is the sensible
way and one that is in vogue in many
cities.

following Washington special:
1t has been decided in the senate
committee on territories to report
favorably the bill to admit New
Mevico as a state. The aub-com-
mlttee having the matter in charge
is composed of Senators Carey, Plat
and Jones, of Arkansas. The com.
mittee has directed the sub-commit-
tee to bring in report favorable. 1t
is intended to report the bill during
this session, and after it has been
given a respectable place on the cal
endar it will be allowed to rest
quietly until next session.
Antonio Joseph, the delegate from
New Mexico, was very active in the
house, working for statehood. That
is always one of the leading ques-
tons for delegate. HIS people as
a rule expect of him great things,
and the greatest of all is to break
into the union of states. Early in
the session he fred in a bill and it
was lodged in the committee on ter
ritories of the house. Joseph got
things so arranged so that it came
his way rather easily. In due time
the committee was convinced that
New Mexico, if a state, would be
Democratic. Joseph, being a Dem
ocrat, had the advantage in tais ar
gument,.so the house committee re.
ported the bill and, after blight ma
nipulation, it was passed and sent
over to the senate. The senate COM
mlttee will make some changes in
the house bill, but will use that as
basis to work upon rather than take
an entirely new bill.
When the bill reached the senate,
Governor L. Bradford Prince, of
New Mexico, was on hand, to assure
the committee in quiet way that if
the territory was admitted it would
soon be discovered in the hurly-burly
that it was Republican state. He had
with him election figures and some
arguments to show this. He was as
sisted by some well known Republi-
cans of the territory, and as Secretary
Elkins is well acquainted with that
country, he was relied upon to assist.
He did 50 by insisting that the terri
tory was equal to the task of becom-
ing a state. All this influenced the
senate committee to look into the
bill, and the chances are New Mexi-
co will become state during the life
of the present congress.
The senate bill which will be re-
ported will provide for 100 sections
of unimproved land to be set apart
and used in erecting public buildings
at the capital of the state, for legisla-
tive, executive and judicial purposes.
One hundred thousand acres of land
will be set apart for the support of
an agricultural college. All lands
granted for educational purposes will
be disposed of at public sale and at
a price not less than S. per acre.
Provisions are made for other i'm
provements as follows: For the es-
adjustment of permanent water
reservoirs for irrigating purposes, 500
acres; for the establishment and
maintenance of a school of mines,
100000 acres; for establishment and
maintenance of an insane asylum,
100000 acres; for establishment and
maintenance of a reform school, IOO,-
900 acres: for establishment and
maintenance of state normal schools,
100000, and for the establishment
and maintenance of an institution
for the blind, 100000 acres. All
lands to be used for public purposes
shall be selected by the secretary of
