TERRITORIAL.

Railroad news still continues en-
couraging, and it is certainly only
question of a very short time until
everything is definitely settled and
construction resumed. The repre-
sentalives of the English syndicate
left New York on the 25th inst for
the City of Mexico, where the final
arrangements will be completed.
The officials are already mapping out
plans for the resumption of work,
and have forwarded preliminary in
structions to the Deming Office. All
doubt as to the success of the under
taking is apparently removed

The Liberal received word direct
by courier from the governmental
surveying party that it had been dis
covered that the corner post at the
jog where the east and west line be-
tween Mexico al d the United States
turns south was about five miles too
far north. This will give the United
States little more territory, and it
is said in this territory there are some
valuable bodies of minerals that have
been discovered by Americans, but
not worked because they were in

GAME PROTECTION.

The Rocky Mountain Sportsman's
association is preparing to make a
great move for the suppression of
the violation of the game and fishing
laws. The members of the associa-
tion are scattered through Colorado,
Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico and
Kansas, and convention and tourn-
ament Is to be held in Denver some
time in June. President 9. M.
Hampson has issued a call for meet
ing of the directors next Saturday,
and the time for holding the conven-
ton will be named at that meeting.
During tho time the convention
will be held there will be tourna-
ment lasting for two or three days,
and on the first day the annual cleo
tion will be held. Everybody will
be invited to attend the gathering
who is interested in the protection of
game and fish. Views will be ex-
changed regarding cooperative law
for each state for mutual protection
of each. Under the present status
of the laws in each state, game may
be shipped from one state to another
that has been killed in violation of
the law. The object of the associa-
tion is to overcome this by framing
new laws.
The association was reorganized
few months ago, and new rules were
adopted admitting of individual
membership, so that person does
not have TO belong to a gun club to
JOIN the association. The members
have taken considerable interest in
the enforcement of the game laws
and the punishment of violators, and
it is believed that on the basis of IN
dividual membership more good can
be accomplished than under the old
system.
Arthur Jilson, who is one of the
directors in the above association,
has received official notice that the
meeting mentioned above will be
held in Denver on May 10th, and
asking his attendance. 1t is to be
hoped that he can attend, or that the
club here will send someone in case
he cannot, as the laws the associ-
alton is trying to have enacted are
of great importance to this territory.
AT the present rate that game and
fish are being destroyed there will
be none left in few years.

The large attendance at the funeral
of Mrs. S. E. Eames gave evidence
of the high esteem in which that
lady was held. The services were
conducted by Rev. N. S. Skinner,
assisted by Rev. A. Hoffman, of the
Methodist church, and Rev. A. A.
Layton, of the Baptist church. The
choir rendered appropriate and i'm
pressive music. The floral offerings
were many, noticeable among them
being the pillow presented by the La
dies Aid Society of the Presbyterian
church, of which society Mrs. Eames
was an active member, and at one time
president. The death of Mrs. Eames
takes from our midst one of exemp-
larry character and whose "life was
made TO tell" The husband and
children who survive, cherish the
memory and mourn the loss of a
gentle, affectionate and devoted
Christian wife and mother. They
have the sympathy of many friends
in their sad bereavement.

He Never stopped Counting.

Robert Simson, Professor of Mathe-
MATES at the University of Glasgow, was
one of those odd geniuses who do so
much for the amusement of humanity.
1t was one of his peculiarities always to
count his steps when he stirred away
from his bachelor quarters. Even if a
friend accosted him, he did not lose his
reckoning. To prevent such a catastrophe
he kept repeating the number of the last
step taken.
Once, while the Professor was on his
way to some gathering, gentleman. who
knew him by sight, but was unaware of
the habit above mentioned, stopped him.
The worthy geometrician had just taken
his five hundred and seventy-third step.

the gentleman; lone word with you, if
you please"
"Most happy-573, y was the answer.
sob, no." said the inquirer, sur
prised, but courteous; "merely one ques-

"Well," added the Professor-"573. +"
"You are really too polite" said the
stranger; ''but knowing your acquain-
lance with the late DIR. B., and for the
purpose of settling dispute, | have
taken the liberty of inquiring whether l
am right in saying that he left $500 to
each of his nieces."
Precisely" replied the Professor
"573."
"And there were four nieces, were there

Exactly !-573."
The stranger stared at the Professor,
as if he thought him mad, muttered sar-
castically -'573" made hasty bow and
passed on.
Professor Simson saw the mans mis-
take, or thought he did, and cried after
him, taking another step at the same in
slant, mo, sir; only four--574."
"Poor fellow!" thought the inquirer,
as he turned away, she certainly has gone
crazy."-[Tit-Bits.

Has an Option on a Volcano.

Mauricio Rahden, formerly Consul of
the Mexican Republic at Kansas City, has
secured an option on the volcano of Popo-
catepetl, the property of General Casper
Sanchez Ochoa, who is at present oper-
ating the immense sulphur deposit in the
crater, supplying sulphur for the manu-
facturc of powder for the army. Even
as at present operated, on a small scale
and without modern machinery, the prop
erty pays good profit. We learn, says
the Mexican Financier, that it is con-
templa.ed to build an electric railway
up the volcano, connecting few miles
from the base with the Interoceanic Rail-
way. The railway will be utilized for
bringing down the sulphur and also the
natural ice for the supply of the. City of
Mexico, which should be in itself re-
munerative business. The quality of
Popocatepetl sulphur is excellent, and
if mined in large quantities, would
find ready market in the United
States. which imports over 100000
tons of this article yearly, largely from
Sicily, the entire annual importation be-
ing rated by the American treasury at
SO, 400, 900. If the plans of Mr.. Rahden
dul Ills uSSOCldbCS dtC CdiiiCu W
ton, the country will gain another large
industry. The sulphur of the volcano
was utilized by Cortez for making powder
for his troops. Baron Won Humboldt, in
his New SPAIN" says, "Speaking at
the same time of the tin OF Tasco, which
was used in founding the first cannon,
CorteZ remarks that he is in no want of
sulphur for the manufacture of powder
because Spaniad drew some from
mountain which is perpetually smoking
by going down tied TO a rope to the
depth of from seventy to eighty faith
oms.'" He adds that this manner of
procuring sulphur was very dangerous,
and on that account it would be better to
procure it from Sevilla. A document,
preserved in the family of the Montanos,
and which Cardinal Lorenzana affirms he
once had in his hands, proves that the
Spaniard of whom Cortez speaks was
named Francisco MontarS.

A Wonderful Railroad

When the railroad between Moscow
and ST. Petersburg was opened it in
spired great terror in the breasts of the
superstitious peasantry, who thought
there must be some witchcraft in az in
vention which could make a train of
heavy cars run along without horses at
the rate of twenty miles an hour. Some
of them would not go within sight of a
train. Others took timid peeps at the
smoke breathing creature, which they
believed to be alive and ready to devour
whatever came in its way When the
whistle sounded they said: "The mon-
ster is hungry; he's screaming for some
body to eat!"
By degrees, however, their terror wore
away, and following the example of the
village priests, the peasants began to try
the "smoke-wagons." though with fear
and trembling. The superstition had
gone, but the mystery still remained.
One day an old man who had never
been away from his own village deter
mined to take look at''Mother Mos
cow" which is regarded by all the Rus
city in the world.
The down express and the up express
met at Bologoe-- half way between st.
Petersburg and Moscow--and the pas
sengers OF both trains were allowed half
an hour for supper. Among the people
who alightcd from the other train the
old peasant recognized friend whom
he hat. not seen for long time.
They had delightful chat together
over their tea in the restaurant and thpn,
without any thought of what he was
doing, the old peasant boarded his
friends train instead of his own.
The talk was very merry for some tine,
but mt last the old man became grave and
silent and appeared to be puzzling deeply
over something. At last he broke out:
'Ah, Ivan, what a wonderful thing
are these railroads! Here we sit in toe
same car, going to Moscow and you TO
