BRAINS NEEDED IN BURGLARY
Much limo and Labor Expended When
tho Prospective Booty Is Worth While.

Few people have an idea Of the i'm
mense amount of labor, forethought
and scientific skill brought to bear on
big burglary, says writer in the
New York Recorder. The first thing
necessary is to find a house containing
sufficient valuables to repay the
trouble and risk, and this first step
alone may take many weeks. Let it
be understood that only the highest
class of expert burglars are meant;
men with comfortable barking &C
counts and houses of their own, and
who. after reducing the risk to mini
mum by elaborate plans, acquire
enough in one night to keep them in
affluence and eminent responsibility
for more than year, although having
but third share. as these burglaries
are invariably worked by three.
To illustrate the wonderful resource
and leisurely way of proceeding adopt
ed BY burglars take case related by
prominent detective. The principal
of the burglars in this instance hav-
ing fixed on certain house, was una

concerning it and the owners This

WITH "MExiCAN PISTOLS"
A Deadly Duel In Arizona in Which Stones
Were the Weapons Csed.

"A
Were The Weapons Used.
Up in canyon in the mountains Of
Arizona there occurred novel duel
the other afternoon. Part of the affair
is the old story, man and woman. The
whole Of it is Mexican, both as to the
participants and their methods. Jua
Valenci2's wife is the mother of four
children, is not attractive, yet she is
the woman in the case. Florentine
Sarnaro, neighbor, is the man in the
case, and is not comely himself. In
fact. says correspondent of the st.
Joseph News, the duel did not occur in
high life. A few days ago the woman
went to a constable and wanted Sama-
70 arrested. The officer referred her TO
her husband. To Valencia she went
and the injured husband at once
looked up Sanaro, who was not SIR
prised, but ugly. Good" said he, ''do
re the favor to go mp the arroyo with

what the Mexican constable terms

congress, quite lofty. He states his
premises clearly, draws his deductions
naturally, marshals his conclusions
skillfully and presents them in COM
pact group convincingly. His speeches
are never tiresome. This is not be-
cause he seldom makes long ones, but
because he clothes his thoughts in such
well-ftting language as to enable his
audience to follow him without much
brain work. He has a keen sense of
hunor. He has himself under complete
control, and is quick and ready at
repartee.
His popularity is great. But there is
nothing of the hale fellow well met
about him. He impresses one as man
of serious thought, who while he sees
much in the world that is laughable
vet doesn't look upon the procession
Of humanity as howiing farce.
Neither does he consider every ques-
ton a matter of life and death. That
is because Of his philosophy. His phi
losophy tells him that there is no such
thing as perfect happiness on this re-
volviug mass Of earth and water. 1t
tells him that if everything he wanted
came his way he would be the most
bored mortal alive. So he takes his
hap DIS with his mishaps and pursues his
way toward the goal OF his ambition
without treading on any more feet than
he can help. He is pleasant man to
meet. His conversation is graceful and
fanciful. He is good entertainer and
one might spend whole evening with
him and not hear from his lips a word
about the tariff, unless in reply to
question. Everybody in the house of
representatives likes him. This is true
from the speaker down to the youngest
page.
Two wears ago Mr. Wilson was re-
parded as very likely candidate for
speaker. 1t is fortunate for him that
he was not elected; for as presiding
officer ne is not success. Those who
saw him preside at the Chicago demo-
cratic convention appreciate his short
coming in that direction.
Mr.. Wilson is fifty years old He is
now serving his sixth consecutive term
in congress. he was born in jefferson
county, Va, May S, 1s4S: was educated
at Charlestown academy and Column
bian college. District OF Columbia.
where he graduated in 1860. After
serving several years in the confeder-
ate army he became professor OF Co
lumbar college, but on the overthrow
OF the lawyers test oath in West Vir-
cinia, he resigned and entered upon
the practice of law in Chariestown-
He was delegate to the national dem
ocratic convention in Cincinnati in
1850 and two years later was elected
president of the university of West

The oobolink sings a ak OF day,
The whip-poor-will Sill at night;
The chickadee chirps, and the branches sway;
And the sengs are bright, and the songs are

It's singing among the grass;
And it's one sings high aid it's one sings low.

LEADER OF THE HOUSE.
Represeutative William L. Wilson
Of West Virginia
The Gentleman Selected by Speaker CrS
to Be Chairman Of the House Com
mittes on Ways and Means
His Popularity.

William L. Wilson, the new leader OF
the house, is a gentleman, scholar
and a statesman, says the Chicago
Evening Post.
To look at Mr. Wilson from the house
galleries no one would suspect him OF
being leader of men. In physique he
is small, both in height and girth.
And he seldom speaks. His face is
keen and intellectual; his features are
regular. His eyes are kind yet sharp.
His chin is firm like his mouth, which
is concealed behind a large sandy and
gray mustache. His movements are
quick and precise. His dress is neat
and quiet. His hands and feet are
small and shapely. He sits in the
third section on the left of the speak
er, half way back. When he sits down
he finds a comfortable position and
will retain it for long time. He is a
good listener. He prefers to listen.
He knows what he knows and is not
possessed by an uncomfortable desire
to tell it to others. His desire is to
learn from others. Sometimes he does
learn, and then he becomes very much
interested. Sometimes he is amused
and then he smiles. Sometimes he is
bored. He then either writes letters,
reads the newspapers or leaves the
chamber. He is great admirer of DR..
Everett, from Massachusetts, the
scholar Of the house.
Once in great while Mr.. Wilson
speaks. He made tariff speech dur
ing the last congress. 1t was clear,
strong, eloquent and convincing.
Everybody present listens attentively
when Mr.. Wilson speaks. And every
body is present who knows that he is
going to speak and can get to the house.
His voice is of rather high pitch, but it
is resonant and strong and reaches all
parts of the chamber. His gestures are
few and the few are quick and express
the desired meaning. His argument
is, compared to the majority made in

4 Big Story.

The following story, the work of an
imaginative correspondent, comes from
Colorado: 1.-TWO hunters, coming to the
edge of glade. saw sixty-fve bears in
consultation. One was lying bound
with grapevines, two Were watching
over him and another was making a
speech Presently the big bear stopped
talking and all the sixty-three growled
an assent. Some of the bears threw a
gravevine loop around the erring bears
neck. led him to limb, threw the vine
over and six bears walked away with
it In ten minutes the bear was dead,
and the Others went solemnly away.
The hunters secured the lynched bears

of proof.'-N. y. World

operator With a Jimmy, spreader,

operator. With Jimmy, spreader,
drill, few pieces of strong bent wire
and little gunpowder, the expert bur-
glar can make his way anywhere.
To these are sometimes added a set
of ''stunblers." These are lengths of
fine steel wire, with pointed stakes
about foot long attached to each end,
and half dozen Of these make but
little bulk. These stumblers are fixed
on the lawn oS paths about the house
in such way that the wires are raised
about six inches from the ground, and
prove such success in case Of pursuit
that the burglars are compelled to
hang pieces of white paper from the
wires in order to escape their own
traps, as they always run over them

A GOOD MEASURE.

REPRESENTATIVE READS bill providing
for county attorneys on and afterJanuary
1st 1896 has passed the house and should
be favorably considered in the council
Every county ought to have its own
prosecuting attorney and as the bill does
not take effect until two years hence, il
may well and reasonably be presumed
that its provisions will have the effect OF
getting lawyers to settle in counties, that
now have no legal lights residing within
their confines, preparatory to the com.
mencement of the year 1895. Pass the
bill

GOOD LEGISLATION.

Gov. Prince has approved the bills, ex'
mpting all railroads, constructed within
the next three years and all irrigation
systems that shall be commenced or ex-
tended IN New Mexico after the passage
of the act, from taxation for the coming
six years; these bills are now law; they
will prove very beneficial measures and
induce the investment of capital in rail
road enterprises and ditch systems in
this territory. More railroads and more
bitches are absolutely necessary for New
Mexico's advancement and prosperity
and this legislation will aid the people in
securing both.

more during his administration to build
up New Mexico and place it before the
country in proper light than any other
governor this territory has ever had, ir
fact than all governors before him, taken
together, have. His administration has
been clean and above reproach, and his
appointments have been creditable and
beneficial. Upon expiration of the gov.

The New Mexico Visitors.

The visitors from New Mexico who are
expected tomorrow will be handsomely
entertained. They will, as part of the
entertaintainment, be given an oppor-
tunity to drive around the city in car
riages furnished by the committee on en-
tertainment, and in this way they will be
able to learn how large and beautiful a
place Denver is. They can not SEQ it all
in few hours, and We may suggest to
them that they should supplement the
carriage drive by excursions over the
different cable and electric lines. These
lines run to nearly every part of the city
and the adjacent suburbs. We are sure
that the visitors will be pleased with Den
yer, and We hope they will be induced to
recognize all the more clearly ths nifty
of the interests of Colorado and New Mex
leo in so far as a great many matters are
concerned. -Denver Republican.

The New Mexico Visitors.

The News bespeaks for the expected
guests a most cordial reception on the
part of the general public as well as by
those who have their entertainment in
special charge. New Mexico is our near
neighbor on the south, territory of
wonderful resources and of vast produc-
tive powers, with which it will be we'll
for Denver always to cultivate the most
friendly commercial relations. These
can in no manner be SO we'll promoted as
by personal acquaintance, and the
coming week will furnish an excellent
opportunity to this end. Visits of this
nature give legislators and public men
broader idea of the west and extend
their knowledge beyond the narrow
boundaries of state or territory. They
are to be encouraged within all reason
able bounds, and the News is therefore
pleased that Colorado, through her gen.
eral assembly, and Denver, through her
chamber of commerce, will be able to
extend their inequalities of the state and
city to the officials and representative
men of New Mexico. Voicing the senti-
ments of the whole people, the News bids
the New Mexico legislature hearty well
come.-Denner News.
