a Woman Bears the Expense.

Among the most important observa-
tons made on the last eclipse of the sun
are those of Professor Schaeberle and
his party of photographers from Lick
observatory, California. Their point of
observation was a spot among the Andes
mountains in Chilli. The expenses of the
whole expedition were paid by Mrs.
Hearst, widow of Senator Hearst of Cal
ifornia. Next to helping her own sex di-
rectly in some wise way, rich woman
can devote her wealth to nothing better
than aiding the advancement of science.

/ A similar foible to this is that of reli-
gious intolerance. Almost every man
wishes his wife to have some religious
belief and practices. In fact, l think a
good many men look to their wives to
take care of the spiritual concerns of the
family just as they do after the house
keeping or the mending. 1t is part of
their duty to the marital firm. But a
great many women pursue this duty I'M
til it becomes nuisance. They are not
content with going to church in season
and out of season themselves, but they
must drive their husbands thither at the
point of the bayonet-that bayonet of
their tongue, which they know how to
use so fatally.
The young man of the present day is
not churchgoing animal as a general
thing. He will go as bachelor some
times on the chance of walking home by
the longest way with some pretty girl.
He will go while he is engaged because
his fiancee wishes him TO, and he will go
when he is first married as a sort of ac-
acknowledgement of the new duties and OBJ
legations TO ''rorswear sack and live

But after the first year he becomes ac-

selfish and mercenary spirit, is
causing many to ask whether It
is fair and wise that the influence
Of such a state should counterbal-
ance that of New York or Penn
sylvania.
Now the fact is that this is real
ly, though it was not intended to
be so, an argument for the senate
and its continuance as it is. The
senate is not suppose to represent
the people, it is supposed to repre-
sent the various states as states,
which form the Union. And in
order that the interests Of each
state, even the smallest, should be
as carefully guarded as the inter
ests of every other one, and just in
order that a comparatively weak
state should not be made to suffer
by the greed, avarice or interests
of a more populous one, the states
were given equal powers in the
senate. Is it small, selfish or mer-
cenafy for a poor man to protect
his interests against a wealthy and
powerful neighbor? Sometimes the
wealthy and powerful man may
think so when he believes that his
poor neighbours loss would be his
own gain. But that does not make
1t true. All honor to the senators
from the weaker states who fought
SO persistently as long as there
seemed hope of success for the
rights aud interests of their people.
The answer to the Eastern papers
question: whether it is fair and
wise hat the influence of a small
state should counterbalance that of
New York or Pennsylvania Is,
YES. Does anyone in these days
ask whether it is fair or wise that
the vote of a poor man should have
as much influence as the vote of a
rich man! Long may the senate
continue as the protector Of states
rights.

RAILROAD CoachfuI Of Passengers stupe-
ned to Facilitate Robbery.
When the first section Of the east
bound passenger train No. 8 on the Chi
cago and Erie pulled into the station
here tile other day, the brakeman told
Policeman Haller, who was at the depot,
that all Of the passengers in Of the
day coaches had been chloroformed by
some unknown person. The passengers
consisted mostly Of eastern people who
were on their way home from the
Worlds fair, and the train only stopped
at a few places along the lnee
After leaving Huntington the passen-
gers in the day coach all settled down in
their seats to take q nap, and after the
train left Decatur the brakeman was
passing through M of the day coaches,
when he detected a peculiar odor and
noticed that the passengers were nearly
all sleeping heavily. Their sleep APP
peared 80 unnatural that the brakeman
grew suspicious, and going into one
Of the sleepers, where there happened
to be a doctor with whom he was ac-
quainted, he asked the physician to 60
into the coach and see If he could detect
anything wrong. The doctor complied
with his request, and going into the
coach Immediately detected the odor Of
chloroform. The doors. and windows
were opened, and in a few minutes they
succeeded in arousing the sleeping pas
sengers, who fortunately had not
breathed enough Of the drug to affect
them very much. They were surprised
to learn that they had been drugged and
were very thankful for the brakenan's
timely discovery.
1t is supposed that after leaving Hunt
tington some one entered the car, and
finding the passengers already half
asleep had saturated the car with
enough Of the drug to make them sleep
soundly. He then went into another a
to wait for the chloroform to take effect.
Undoubtedly he would have returned to
rob the sleeping passengers had not his
scheme been discovered. The q being
closed tightly and unusually warm, in
all probability the passengers in a short
time would have been at the mercy Of
the chloroformer.-Lima Dispatch in

THE evil effects of republican
legislation have been very appar-
ent this year. Banks have broken,
business houses all over the coun-
try have smashed up, and business
has been most thoroughly demon
allied all through the United
States largely as the natural re-
suit of rotten and demoralizing
financial measures passed by the
late republican government. This
result was only TO be expected and
was predicted by the democratic
leaders and press. Last year the
demoralizing effects of the repub-
lican Legislation were already be-
ginning to be felt and the people
put the democrats into power to
avert as much as possible the inev-
liable evils which were TO follow
and to put such a new policy into
operation as would again bring
the country into a prosperous con-
dition. Even the drawing near of
the regular session of congress,
when such measures may be pro-
ceeded with, is already producing
its beneficial effect on the country;
business failures are decreasing in
number, money is becoming easi-
er in financial centers, people are
beginning TO open their stockings
and safes whore they have been
boarding money, rates Of interest
are falling; so with a democratic
congress in session, a and states
manlike and thorough reduction of
the tariff and other good measures
passed by it, capital will flow into
new lines Of industry, reopen old
ones, give employment to laboring
men, and the natural beneficial
results Of democratic rule and dem
ocratic measures viii gladden. the
hearts Of our people and bring re-
newed prosperity to the many
hearths and homes now desolated
in consequence Of the false theo-
ries and bad laws passed by the
late republican government

TnE politieal land Side which

The political land slide which
took place throughout the country
last week has made the republican
party feel very jubilant; tho. with
very little reason. While the gem
ernl republican gains were to some
extent influenced by the tariff and
silver questions, the chief causes
were the hard times and local as
distinct from National issues. For
instance in Chicago Judge Geary,
who has made so famous a name
as a bold, fearless, just and upright
judge, was rejected by all honest
men there,-democrats, republi-
cans and free silver men, as a right
due the man apart from all polit-
zeal consideration and as a protest
and warning to the anarchists.
Such an election is a credit to the
people of Chicago, but is no more a
cause of rejoicing for the republ-
can party than it is to all honest
men of all parties throughout the
nation. These republican gains
can affect congress but little.

THE REPEAL BILL.

The people Of the east clamored
loud ana long for the uncondi-
tional repeal of the purchase clause
Of the Sherman act; declaring by
their representatives and through
their newspapers that this act was
the cause Of every evil under the
sun in this country and that It's re-
peal would be a financial and econo-
mic %cure-all This forced repeal on
the country, and now already they
admit that at least their strongest
reasons for repeal were exagera-
ted and that the measure they 80
foolishly and selfshly insisted on
is q mere makeshift.

uNaAvELINe The MYSTERY.
Some New Light Has Been Thrown on Tn
Blue Light Seen by Mrs. Carter.

Some New Light Has Been Thrown on the
Blue Light Seen by Mrs. Carter.
An Oakland, Ols.(, correspondent Of
the Chicago Herald tells the following
story;
When Zach Carriers house south of
Martinville burned last August a year
ago, and it was alleged he was cremated,
the fact developed that he carried $46,-
600 insurance on his life, although he
was always regarded as q poor man.
How he could pay,the premium on such
m enormous sum Is explained by his
widow. About four years ago she was
visiting q friend at Harrisburg in what
wa known az q haunted house.
One evening while out in the yard her
attention was attracted to a spot on the
lot by a blue light. She had a stick in
her hand, and going to the spot indicat-
ed by the light placed the end of the
stick in the ground, when it began to
push and way and move the dirt. A
box was thus disclosed. She took it to
her room and found it contained $11, 900.
She mentioned the fact to no one, not
ven her husband, for two years. After
returning home she buried a part of the
treasure and kept the rest in the house.
That part, some $4,000, was burned.
Upon looking up the records it was
found that some months previous to the
alleged discovery Of Mrs. Carter a safe
in a lumber yard at LawrenceviIe had
been robbed Of $1,000, and the man
Penn, who was arrested for the crime,
said that the amount taken had been
buried, but refused to tell the place.
Detectives were Of the opinion that Car
ter was IN accomplice of Penn, and a
warrant has been sworn out for Mrs.
Carter, charging her with receiving
stolen property. She has since left the
state.

A STRONG argument in favor of
statehood was incidentally brought
forward by one of the speakers at
the statehood convention at Dem
ing, speaking of the matter of the
water supply of the Rio Grande
to irrigators in Colorado and New

PROF. s. P. McCREA THE MAN.
For President oil the Agricultural
College.

OOlltSes
Mr., McCrea is a young man.
having graduated from the State
Normal School, one the leading
institutions of learning of Indiana,
in 1879. He taught in the common
schools of Ohio and Indiana for
seven years. Then served as
principal of four different graded
schools in Indiana and Texas, hav-
ing from two to four teachers un-
der him. He was then chosen
principal of the high school at
Princeton, Indiana, serving there
until elected superintendent of
schools at Mt. Vernon, Illinois, in
1886, where there were some fif-
teen subordinate teachers and 800
scholars on the roll. This position
was one of the most important
from an educational point of view
IN southern Illinois. During the
second year of his work at Mt.
Vernon the cyclone of 1889 blew
down some 500 houses in the town
including the high school building
and Nh. McCrea's residence. He
then came to the conclusion that
Illinois vas a good state to emil
CRATE from and he sought the
balmy climate of southern New
Mexico.
He was principal of the Silver
City public schools for one year
and then went to Las Cruces to
secure a chair in the Agricultural
College, but before the college was
opened he was appointed register
of the land Office, which position
he has held ever since.
While in Indiana he organized
the Knox County Normal School
and Business Institute which was
SO successful that in four years
half of the teachers of that County
had received training in his Insti-
tute and a school of 80 pupils was
created.
He has had experience in every
grade of teaching from the common
school up, and wherever he taught
he gave entire satisfaction. Mr..
McCrea has had some experience
as an author, having issued three
manuals for teachers on grammer,
history and physiology, which are
well spoken of by school men. He
is a good talker and ready writer,
several of his contributions to the
local papers having been copied by
the metropolitan papers. He was
born and raised on a farm, thus
getting in youth the practical side
of agriculture. His industry and
ability have been fully tested by
the people of this land district dur
ing the past four years, and the
test has been a favorable n 10
him, he having given the many
people he had business with
entire satisfaction. He is an
earnest student, a practical teacher
and a successful man of affairs and
in every way fitted for this import
ant position.
As a further testimony of Prof.
McCrea's fitness for the important
position above mentioned, we re-
fer especially to ais career as a
citizen Of New Mexico. His sue
cess as superintendent of Silver
City schools alone would be suih-
cient recommendation for the POI
sition which his friends would
have him hold. Besides, his sue
cess as register Of the u. s. land
Office Of Las Cruces proves him to
be thoroughly practical business
man. Let the board appoint a
man who viii protect the agricult-
ural interests Of New Mexico
