MISTOOK HIS MAN.
Tho Barkesper Thought the Financicr Was
Deadbeat

a Deadbeat.
''There is plenty of money in the
country" he said, pouring out about
four fingers of rye. What we need
most just now is the restoration of pub
lie confidence. 1 have just now come
from the street"
Another gentleman nodded his head
approvingly, and the barkeeper listened
to him.
''Ninety-fve per cent of the public
business is done on credit. Did you
ever think of that2 Only five per cent.
is actually based upon cash"
The barkeeper glanced nervously up
and down the bar and cautiously re-
moved the bottle.
Gas long as my neighbor has con-
fdence in me things 60 on all right.
As long as / have confidence in my
neighbor his word is as cash. Now
where is all this currency?"
That was evidently what the bar
keeper was thinking about, for he
slowly pushed check for fifteen cents
towards the speaker.

worse scared small investors. Money
IS getting tighter and tighter every
day. 1t is as much as a man can do to
scrape enough together to buy drink"
The barkeeper winked significantly
to the other man and began to play
with something behind the bar.
Nobody trusts anybody else. Pub
lie confidence is completely under
mined"
At a sign from the barkeeper the
boy who was polishing the brass work
softly locked the door.
Now, for example," continued the
6nancier, intent on his own ideas. ''if
] had certified check in my pocket at
this moment for one thousand dollars
and had no currency wherewith To
liquidate the price of another drink"
''You pay for that drink you've
had!" said the barkeeper, savagely,
and we'll talk "a bout another. And,
what's more, we don't want ne more
CUFF about credit and confidence in
here. See?"
At the same time the smart servitor
brought out stuffed club about al
big as bologna sausage and brought
1t down on the bar with whack.
This startled the financicr so that he
kxocked the emptysglass off the bar as
be stepped out of range. The bar
keeper was evidently accustomed to
the Bowery, and had no appreciation
for finance or financial conversation
unaccompanied by club.
''W-w-what the - do YOU mean,
sir?" stammered the fnancier. He
turned red and pale, and then said:
''This is an insult; it's gross insult,
and I'll report you to the proprietor"
He took out big wallet full of bills
and checks and drafts with trem bling
hand to pay the score. The several
gentlemen in the room looked indig-
naptly at the barkeeper. and the
boy quietly unlocked the door. The
barlseeper apologized to the crowd and
very humbly to the offended gentle
mon, and then opened bottle of wine
on tho solemn promise that nobody
would say anything about it. For 1
Thought he WIZ a-goin' to do me sure!

A MORNING BLAZE.
NJ. j. McCabe's Stable Burned-Good
Work by the Soldiers-Citi2ens
Inccnsed at the Local Fire
Company.

The fire alarm sounded shortly after
o'clock this morning and the cause of it
proved to be the burning of small
stable and chicken house in the rear of
M. ]. McCabe's place. The fire brigade
from Fort Marcy was soon IN the ground
and the men worked like beavers to keep
the flames from spreading. Col. Pearson,
-Lieutenants Stottler, Littell, Harrison
and Stokes were present in person
and Mr.. McCabe feels very grateful to
them for their intelligent direction of the
men. The loss amounts to about 500
1t is thought the fire was started by
tramps who had probably slept III the
stable over night.
The strange part of the affair, and one
| that is causing much comment among
citizens to-day, is that not member o.
the city volunteer fire department was on
hand, nor was any effort made by them t.
respond to the alarm. Citizens say that
this matter is becoming serious; on sew.
eral occasions Of late it has been noticed
that the local fire department has made
| little or no effort to respond in the time
of need, and fears are expressed thai
such conduct may occur at vital time
when the presence of we'll organ
lied company may be needed to save thu
city great loss.
| From all indications the city fremer
are very much disgruntled over some
thing or other, and affairs have now as
sumed such ape as to prompt man,
property owners who have heretofore
contributed to maintain the voluntee
department to demand change. 1t il
commended that the members OF the com
pany owe it to themselves to do on,
thing or the other-to either reorganiz'
and get ready for business or disbant
and make it known in order that other
who are interested in the welfare of thu
city may assume charge of the publi
apparatus and organize a new and effect
i've fire department..

CITY GOVERNMENT.
The Coming Administration Must Be
One of Business-SOme Timely
Suggestions.

It is an indisputable fact that the
choice of city officers has never been of
so much importance to this city as at
this present time. During the term of
the council will be called upon to make
contracts upon which depends. the life of
the city. A thoroughly modern system Of
street lighting must be provided, among
other things, land street sprinkling sys-
tenn has got to be provided. Again, $685.
600 is to be put into city sewerage sys-
tenn. It is the unanimous sentiment of
the best business men that these things
shall be attended to without further de-
lay, and well attended to! That will not
be done except the council be composed
of business men.
1t was never before so important that
the mayor and each councilman be not
only honest, but also breadminded, con-
servative, wise. The mayor should be a
man of keen insight and business expert
ence.
There are good men in this town as in
every other town who are not at all fitted
to the Office of mayor. And it is not at
all to their discredit to say that they
should not aspire to the Office. There may
be others whose ambition to succeed in
some particular line may altogether unfit
them for office Of trust, though they may
not be Intentionally dishonest.
All these conditions should be taken
into consideration by the people when
they discuss this or that man for mayor.

LORETTO ACADEMY.
A Worthy Institution and Something
Of the Good Work 1t is Doing
Bright Pupils.

To the Editor of the New MEXICAN.
SANTA FEE, March 7.-Ssveral ladies in
Santa Fe, who feel interested in the
work of the Sisters of the Convent
of Loretto and have seen great results
therefrom, wish to give few details
which will call the attention of others to
the fact that for many years the Sisters
have been "hiding their bright light be-
hind bushel." 1t is time that light
should be no longer hidden, but held up
80 as to shed its brilliancy abroad.
The people of Santa Fe must be
aware how many different branches are
taught at the academy, and will appre-
ciate the great care and attention Law
ished by the Sisters on their pupils when
they read the following:
Sister NJ Rusalia, the teacher of vocal
music. has composed mass dedicated to
Mother Francisco. for her silver jubilee.
also piece called "Loretto Chimes"
The mass is fine work and thoroughly
repays her for all the time and trouble
which must have been given to it. Both
works are to be sent to the Worlds fair.
Sister M. Lucia's pupil, Miss j. G. Papa.
has composed an instrumental solo, and
dedicated it to the Rt. Rev. P. l.. Chapelle,
This young lady is only H. She is also
the pupil of Sister Mary Xavier who is
the teacher of the graduates; Miss Papa
has distinguished herself in the study Of
book keeping and shorthand, writing
1lS words in one minute. Miss F. Nc
Aulty who is also pupil of Sister Mary
Xavier, surpassed Miss Papa in short
hand by one word. Misses N. Sullivan
and M. Geinler recently wrote LOG words
in one minute. This after only three
months tuition in that especial branch.
The needle work taught by the Sisters
is exquisite and we'll worth seeing. Many
are the other instances of the Sisters
good work which might be enumerated If
time and space would allow.
1t is hoped that the time is not far off
when the Sisters work will be furthered
by the public and that their actual pres
ence will be more valued than it has been
hitherto. VISITORS.

Doing Good.

From "The Alameda" j. K. Living
ston's Mesilla valley ranch-resort, the
New MEXICAN received to-day copies of a
little folder that will do much toward
making known among physicians and
health seekers the advantages of Las
Cruces and the valley from a climatic
standpoint. Mr.. Livingston is doing
much in the line of attracting invalids to
the climatic cure. His home ranch has
been converted into sanitarium resort
with accessories that every invalid must
appreciate. He writes that he has thus
far met with excellent success and has
among his guests number of the very
best class of people that seek renewed
health in the west by change of climate.
