Glad 1t Is Settled.


Albuquerque Cuizon.
All friends of New Mexico, and
especially those who desire to see
the Territory well represented in
the woman's department of the
great fair at Chicago, will be glad
to learn that the trouble which
threatened, for a time to seriously
impair the usefulness of the enter
prise, has at last been settled, and
in a way hat will not fail to result
in a good exhibit from New Mexi-
co. A difficulty, of the merits of
which the people know little and
care less, sprang up, or rather,
broke out" among the "lady man
ayers" of New Mexico, soon after
the first attempt was made to or
ganize hat branch of the work in
the Territory, and resulted, finally
in one of the two managers tender
ing her resignation, and immedi-
ately following this came the res
ignations of the various commit
tees which she had appointed to
cooperate with her in the work,
and naturally threw the whole
matter into more or less confusion.
But the remaining manager, Mrs.
Albright, of this city, persevered
in the cause, against difficulties
that would have discouraged most
lndies, and though her efforts
were in a great measure handi-
capped by the unfortunate con-
ditiOn of affairs, she kept the work
progressing, and she now has the
satisfaction of seeing her efforts
appreciated by the Territorial
board which, at its last meeting al
Santa Fe, passed a series of resolu-
tions thanking her for the efficient
manner in which she had dis
charged her duties, expressing en-
tire confidence in her ability, and
placing her in complete charge OF
all the women's work for the Ter
ritory. This is not only a we'll de-
served compliment to Mrs. AL
bright's ability and energy, but il
can not fail to be gratifying to the
public, because it places this divi-
sion Of the work again upon a
working basis, and insures a cred

A maiden lady once had a fine talking
bird, but, being subjected to headaches,
she often put him in the kitchen. The
cook objected and said to Polly, "You
horrid thing, / wish you were dead"
Polly soon learned this, and when his
mistress got better and took him to her
own room, he said, "You horrid thing,
/ wish you were dead"
This shocked the delicate little lady.
One day she met her rector, and, after
he had inquired about her health, he
said, GLOW is Polly?"
Then she told him how Polly had af
fected her nerves. The rector said
"Send him 10 spend a month with my
bird He may forget it,"
She Immediately accepted his offer
In due time Polly was sent home, and
as soon as his mistress went to the cage
Polly saluted her with;
'You horrid thing, / wish you wer,
dead. We beseech thee to hear us

A South American traveller says
that on the battlefield Of Tarapaca,
in the Ardean desert, the dead are
still lying just as theyfell in the san
culinary conflict between the Chill
ians and Peruvians many years ago.
There we're 1000 men and about
1000 horses killed in the fight, and
they we're unburied in the haste
Of the victorious Chilians to escape
from the waterless desert. II never
rains in Tarapaca, and the sun
has dried the corpses, and the
nitrate in the soil has preserved
them, and upon the plateau 5000
mummies lie in CHASTITY confusion,
with broken swords and bayonets
all as fresh looking as on the day
of that memorable battle. There
is no bird or beast or insect in that
terrible d~esolation, and if nobody
interferes with the relics they will
remain the same for centuries.

All that New Mexico has to do 10.
insure for herself a conspicuous
place in the front rank Of the fruit
growing districts Of the United
States is to make the real merits
of her fruits known to the public.
II requires only a practical test TO
satisfy anyone that our fruits are
superior to those of California in
everything except looks, and when
ever they have been introduced
they have always taken, and held,
the first place. This fact is sufi-
cient warrant for the conclusion
that this Territory is destined to be
regarded, in time, as one Of the
greatest fruit growing districts on
the continent. We have a range
of conditions enabling us toproduce
a great variety of fruits, and in the
greatest degree of perfection Our
northern sections yielding apples
as fine as can be produced in New
England or Michigan, while our
southern and central districts pro-
duce peaches, plums, grapes and
apricots which are not surpassed
in quality by the products of any
quarter of the world. These facts
are established beyond danger of
successful contradiction, and what
we need now is advertising-for it
is no less important for the state to
advertise its resources than for
the merchant to advertise his wares.
We must make our advantages and
our capabilities known; we must
give. the public satisfactory evil
dence of the fact that we can
produce good fruit, and plenty of
it; and in this way we can extend
the market for our products, and
increase the number of those en-
gagged in this industry. 1t is to
ourinterest to use every with
in our reach for this purpose, and
there is no other avenue open to us
through which we can accomplish
so much in this line, with so little
outlay of money or effort, as
through a good display of our pro-
ducts at the Territorial Fair. Visitors
will be in attendance at that ex-
hibition from various parts of the
country, and they will come, many
of them, for the express purpose
of seeing for themselves what the
country can produce; and since
"the proof of the pudding is in the
eating of it," if we want to convince
the public that we can raise good
fruit, the mostsatisfactory evidence
we can present is the fruit itself
Very attractive premiums are Of
ferred in this line, but our enter
prising fruit grower will hold the
general good of the Territory
above every other consideration
and everyone who can aid il
building up the reputation of Nev
Mexico as a fruit country shoUt
consider it a pleasure, as well as
duty to do so, by making a displa!
of his products.

shock severely. An hour after the ex-

was noticed to be in state Of disturbance.
Hundreds Of miniature geysers dotted the
surface. They were accompanied by a
roaring sound, which increased as the
waterspouts grew in height. Before
many hours the roaring resembled that of
cyclone, and the water was thrown into
air many feet from countless spots. The
Findlay explosion had rent the earth,
opening mineral gas pocket, and the
application of lighted match made the
surface of the pond sheet of fire.

Cleveland DON'T Want the Office.

The New York Telegram says it is in q
position to know that Mr.. Cleveland is not
seeking the presidential nomination. II
says that Mr.. Cleveland recently wrote a
vigorous, sweeping letter declaring that he
would not allow himself put in nomina-
ton. Mrs. Cleveland was the only person
who knew of the letter which she strongly
opposed. The day before the letter was
to be given to the Associated Press Mrs.
Cleveland sent for one of her husbands
most trusted friends. To this gentleman
MIR. Cleveland frankly confessed that he
was sick of the littleness and chickering's
and insults that daily infringe upon his
private life; that he had not lifted so much
as his little finger to secure nomination;
that nothing would induce him to enter the
race, and that he had plainly said so in a
letter that could be printed at once. After
few minutes conversation Mr.. Cleveland
friend induced him to promise that the let
ter would not be given out for "a hours.
Word was sent to several OF the most
faithful and level headed Cleveland men,
and council was hurriedly held. Mr..
Cleveland spoke with great feeling at this
council, but he was at last persuaded to
withdraw the letter.

The most horrible accident in the his

East Jordan, 10 miles east of Charlevoix.
The four boilers of the East Jordan Lum-
Der c0mpany's mill No. 2 exploded, totally
demolishing the structure and killing six
men, seriously injuring four and iniuring,
more or less, twelve Others The killed
are: Albert Cook, aged 80 and married;
Emanuel Hunt, aged 40 and married; John
Brown, aged 20 and single; William Beach,
aged lS aud single; Simon Carney, aged 20
and unmarried; ziChristy. The latter was
the only one of the dead not instantly killed
He fingered for three hours in terrible
agony. The others were mhngled beyond
recognition. OF the injured, Reinhart had
his limbs broken and mangled and cannot
live. John Ringle had both eyes blown
out and will unquestionably die. There
were several miraculous escapes. Andrew
Parish, while driving a cart, got in the way
of the falling smokestack, which crushed
both horse and cart, but left the driver
uninjured. The conclusion was heard for
miles. 1t is impossible to say what caused
the explosion. Pearson the only man in
the mill who came out unhurt, says it was
probably due to low water or to high pres
sure, but blames no one Tor the accident.

James Carr, Desperate.

In a log cabin near the village of
Meredith James Carr, one of the most
noted desperadoes in the history of the
state, came to his death. For m ore than
10 years Carr's desperate exploits have
made him the terror of the entire county
OF Clare and his many sensational deeds
have made him the subject of numerous
newspaper articles. Carr fl st came into
prominence as the keeper of stockade
ranch to which scores of innocent young
girls were decoyed from their homes in
the larger cities of the state on promise of
good and reputable positions and kept con-
fined there, prey TO the brutal passions
Of the rough and filthy lumbermen in the
surrounding woods. But few reports of
these inhuman proceedings reached the
ears of the outside world, for the keeper
OF the infamous den kept close watch over
all his creatures and, it was alleged,
harbored bloodhounds on his premises to
assist In the capture of any that might
escape. Through means such as these
Carr amassed considerable amount of
money and occasionally took extended
trips about the country. OF late years
however, his business decreased, and fall
ing into habits OF dissipation he rapidly
squandered all of his ill-gotten money.
For more than a year back he has been
but little better than a pauper, living
mostly on the slender earnings of his wife
Maggie who has stuck to him thro ugh
everything
