In the departure from our city of
Professor G. S. Ramsay we lose an
honored and good citizen, and our
schools lose a practical and compe-
tent educator. During the three
years that Professor Ramsay has
been with us as principal of the
academy he has given entire salts
faction. He is thoroughly practical
in his methods, and the work of his
pupils shows careful training. I'm
like many teachers, the professors
interest in his pupils extends beyond
the school room, and this fact has
been appreciated alike by parent and
pupil. The confidence aid respect
shown the professor are evidences
of the high esteem in which he is
held by his pupils. Not only has
the professor been successful and
popular in his school work, but he
has, by his pleasant and affable man.
ner, won many fIiends, and he and
his estimable wife will be missed
from the social circles of Las Vegas.
1t is with reluctance that we part
with the professor, and we congratu'
late Albuquerque on the addition of
so good a citizen, and the regents of
the university IN securing so efficient
and able a man.
Professor Ramsay's labors here
are a record of noble enthusiasm,
which was communicated alike to
pupils and patrons. Our best wishes,
with those of his many friends, go
with the professor to his new field OF
usefulness.

START A MINING BOON.

There is one advantage that the
building of the Short Line will give
us that is hardly thought of in con-
necction with it that will greatly
benefit us, and that is it will bring
in a large number of prospectors,
who will commence to explore the
vicinity Of Las Vegas for the large
veins of mineral that are known to
exist here. For years it has been
known that there was good mineral
here, but the small amount of pros
pecting done was not enough 10 find
the lead, and as it was not done sys-
tematically, it is not to be wondered
at that it was a failure. With the
influx Of new life that will soon come
in there will be some who will
no doubt be glad to put in some
good hard work prospecting for min
eral, and we have no doubt they will
be successful.

The recent attack on the Jews in
the last number of the Hispano-
Americana was very uncalled for
attack on very large and influential
class of our best citizens, and it Is
beyond our comprehension how a
man at this day of the 10th century
can let his prejudices carry him to
such unwarranted extremes as the
article showed. The writer evidently
thinks that newspaper is run for
the purpose of gratifying the owners
private grudges, and not for the pur-
pose of benefting the community,
and this also seems to be the opinion
of many other persons running news
papers. AS the paper is advertised
as the official organ of the knights
of Mutual Protection, an order hav-
ing a large roll of membership, and
an organization that is also supposed
to be of large and liberal views, the
order should take steps at once to
disavow any responsibility for the
very illiberal views expressed in its
official organ.

so many parts Of the territory are do
ing SO we'll with mining that our bust
ness men are willing to let the best
thing in the territory rest as far as we
are concerned, and pay no attention
to prospecting at all. Nowhere else
in the territory is there such utter
apathy on mining. This might be
excused if there were no mineral
signs at all around here, but the in
dications are first class and many ex-
perts have declared that we are in a
good mineral district. If ten or doz.
en- business men here had combined
and "grub.staked" a prospector OF
two a few years ago, they would un'
doubtedly before this have been well
repaid in the discoveries made fol
their expenditures, and also have
made as much more by the increase
of business from the people brought
here by the discoveries. 1t would
be a good plan to go at it now and
make up for lost time. Who will
start the move?

FACTS ABOUT THE EYES.

"The eye doctor who tells you to
wear glasses while your eyes are
good, to keep them so, can be safely
written down as a humbug and a
quack," says an oculist. 81 am not
saying anything against shaded, OF
even plain glasses to protect the eyes
from dust, although even those are
of doubtful value, but the man who
says he can give you glasses to keep
good pair of eyes in first-class
shape, has either got some glasses
left on his hands which he wants to
sell off or he doesn't know what he
is talking about. The moment il
becomes painful to read in a good
light with the naked eye, glasses are
required, but until then they are best
left severely alone. 1t is true that
the demand for glasses has increased
very rapidly since the adoption OF
electricity for lighting purposes in
cities, but it IS more the abuse OF
this powerful Illuminating power
than its use that is doing the mis-
chief. Electric lights in a street car
are very luxurious, but they encour-
age reading, and are, from an optic
ian's point of view, Objectionable. p

This story of the Rev. Lyman
Beecher, father OF Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher, was told originally
by his son. The elder Beecher had
been preaching one Sunday at Litch-
field, and, as he got into the car
riage to go home, he remarked that
he had never preached such poor
sermon before. "Why, father" said
Henry, 81 never heard you preach
louder" "That's it," responded the
old man; "when Pve nothing to say,

A few evenings since our report
-er's attention was called to the beau
tifully illuminated buildings of the
Smith Premier Typewriter works on
Clinton street, and upon investiga-
ton found that owing to large in
crease in business they were obliged
to run twelve hours a day, operating
between 800 and 400 employees. Con-
sidering the rapid growth of the
business referred to it is very appa-
rent to the proprietor that it will be
absolutely necessary during the sum-
mer months to build another factory,
and in fact the plans are nearly ar
ranged for the construction of new
building Of dimensions 60xl40 feet,
seven stories high. This new struc-
ture, in addition to the present build
ings, which have every nook and cor
ner filed with operatives, will admit
of working at least 600 people, and
if the business continues to increase
in the future as it has in the past it is
very certain that the company at no
distant day will require all the type
writers that 600 operatives can pro-
duce. We are informed that no other
typewriter manufacturers in the state
at present are pressed to fill their or
ders to the extent that they are
obliged to work NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

At the meeting of the chamber of
commerce, Monday, Governor Burke
made a proposition to give the peniten-
tiary for the purpose of improving the
roads to the'public buildings, il the city
or the citizens will furnish the teams and
materials necessary. Some stone will be-
used in filing in bad places. Main
street will be improved to the peniten-
tiary, and Sixth street to the capitol.
Here is a chanca for much needed i'm
provements. The streets are by no
means in good condition. and if the citi-
zens take the proper interest 10 the mat
ter, there is nothing to prevent the city's
having two fine thoroughfares. The
work, Of course, would not be contem-
plated by the city, unless this class Of
labor we're obtained, so that the question
of the convict labor competing with
other labor does not enter into the case.
The chamber of commercs appointed a
committee to confer and work with the
governor i'll the matter.

institution has no satisfactory water
supply. The two artesian wells that
have been bored have cost a large sum
OF money. The first one completed was
a total failure, owing it is said to a plug
of some kind being dropped into it. The
second we'll gives but a partial flow
owing to a tendency to fill up at the
bottom with sand. A permanent appa-
ratus has been erected to keep the we'll
cleaned out. 1t is now proposed to re-
pair the old surface we'll formerly in use
by the addition of a new pump and other
repairs estimated to cost $1,000. This
we'll supplied the institution water be-
fore the unfortunate attempts were made
to get an artesian supply. There is' an
