TALE OF A YELLOW DOG.
CAUSES A FEUD BETWEEN THE RI
vERAS AND THE DoGCATCHER.
The Canine Apprehender Shows Too
Much Zeal and the Usual Result
Foilows-The Once Liable
to he Vacant.

Ye Dogge Catcher and Ye Harde
Bricke, or, He Got II Where the Chicken
Got the Are, would be good title to
the little drama which occurred in J.
Rivera's front garden last Tuesday, and
was heard in Justice Seaman's court
yesterday.saw ylpis1ss o. biue3 ~
John Robinson is the recently ap-
pointed dogcatcher, and judging from
appearances some one ought to be set to
catch Robinson.
Yesterday ]. M. Rivera and his son,
Pamflio Rivera, were on trial for battery
and disturbing the peace. M
Robinson said that he was catching
a stray dog when the boy Pamfilio in
terfered with him. He arrested Pam
filio and his father struck him, Rob.
binson, on the head with stone.
But five witnesses testified to the fol
lowing facts:
Pamfleo's little yellow dog was peace
fully slumbering on the doorstep of the
Rivera edifice, enjoying the sunshine,
and utterly unaware of there being any
such official as a dog catcher In exist
ence.
Then entered to the little yellow
dog, Robinson.
Robbinson is out to catch dogs, and
whether they sleep on doorsteps, or
wander around at late and unreasonable
hours of the night, matters not to Rob-
binson.
The dog catcher prepared his little
moose, and, going to the garden gate,
whistled to the little yellow dog.
The animal, welcoming the diversion,
gaily pranced down to meet its new
friend, but the fatal moose swung in the
air and, missing the impulsive dog, 30
frightened him that he ran into the
house.
Then appeared youthful Pamfilio
who demanded what the blazes Robbin-
son was trying to catch his dog for. This
irritated the catcher of CANNES who told
the youth to consider himself under
arrest.
Pamfilio answered that under no cir
cumstances could he entertain any such
idea, whereat Robinson produced his
handouts and tried to fasten them on
the boys wrists.
Pamflio's hot italian blood rebelled
and he threw the handouts over the
wall.
Robinson then seized the boy by the
throat and commenced choking him.
The boys mother saw the assault from
a window and running out told the
officer to leave her son alone.
He did not let go, however, and Mrs.
Rivera, seeing her Pam6lio's face rap
idly turning black. picked up the largest
and hardest brick she could find and
applied it to the dog catcher's Uranium
with such good will that. according m
the testimony Of the lady herself, Rob
binson lay down on the ground and held
his head.
Then he departed; and as. in the lam
guage Of the vulgar, 'she didn't know
what struck him." swore out a com.
plant against the father of the boy for
battery.
Justice Seaman, Immediately after
hearing the evidence, dismissed both
complaints.
The dog catcher, it is stated, has
caught his last catch, and the Office will
soon be vacant. A'r @g

the power to suspend him. The chief
explained that from the nature of the
pursuit, the life OF dog-catcher was
not the most lovely one on earth and
for that reason men willing to hold the
position were few and far between ; he
did not want to have this one discf arg
ed, but he did want the power to hold
him down occasionally, because he had
lately been besieged by the owners of
luckless beasts, who had fallen into the
unrelenting hands of his dog.catcher.
The board then adjourned.

THE United States court decided
last week that the Wold's fair
shall be closed on Sunday. The
gates were open for two successive
Sundays and the attendance on the
first Sunday was considerably over
100000 but the visitors we're dis
appointed, for many of the exhibits
we're not uncovered so hat they
could be seen and the machinery
was not in motion. The next Sun
day the attendance was very small
simply because people did not care
to go to see the canvass covers to
the exhibits. Neither the United
States nor the English govern
ment buildings were open and
some others were closed. If all of
the exhibits could have been seen
as we'll on Sundays as on other
days the Sunday opening might
have proved 10 be a success. Many
people could visit the big fair on
Sundays who could not see it on
other days, and the arguments in
favor of having the fair open on
Sunday are quite as strong as
those against it. An application
for an appeal from the decision
has been made and the decision
may be reversed, but the fair
grounds may as we'll he closed on
Sundays as TO have them open and
have the exhibits covered with can
vass.

The Territorial funds are now
distributed in quite a number OF
banks in the Territory under the
provisions of the law passed at the
last session of the legislature. 1t
appears that the banks are not on
ly willing to pay three per cent.
interest required but that they are
anxious to get money at these
terms. There is little reason to
doubt that the banks would pay
four or even five per cent. on Terri
torial deposits in order to get this
money if it were necessary. The
last Legislature made agood begin
ming by requiring the banks to pay
interest and future legislatures
can increase the rate ifit appears
that the banks will pay more inter-
est rather than lose the deposits.

and the leaders of the provisional
government have taken extra pre-
cautions to guard against surprise.

up the building in which the mi

government buildings and rein
state Queen Liliuokalani. 1t is
even limited that Claus Spreckles

THE Rio Grande Republican is
the only newspaper in New Mex
leo which is opposed to the free
coinage of silver. Last year the
Albuquerque Democrat was OPP
posed to what it was pleased to
term the free silver heresy, but it
has decided to get in out of the
wet. Before the election last fall
its silver views seemed to be very
similar to what was supposed to
be the position of Grover Cleve-
land on the silver question and it
held to these views with consider
able tenacity until within a few
weeks ago when it espoused the
silver cause. Whether this change
of opinion was due to a change of
editors or TO other causes must be
conjectured, but at any rate the
policy of the paper on the silver
question is changed and now the
Rio Grande Republican is the only
paper in the Territory which is
opposed to the interests of the
miners of the southwest. 1t is
possible that, when the editor Of
the Rio Grande Republican learns
as much about the silver question
as he knows about raising fruit
and keeping bees, he will change
his views ON the silver question
and become an advocate of free
coinage.

MO ID Tn

Last Friday morning at clock
Ford's Theatre building in Wash
ington, in which over 500 govern
ment clerks aud employees were
engaged, collapsed. Twenty-Five
clerks are dead and more than Rf.
ty are more or less severely
injured.
The building has been occupied
for many years rs an adjunct to
the pension building and has been
known to be in an unsafe condi-
ton for more than twenty years.
The condition Of the building was
reported to congress and that body
took the precaution TO have many
of the valuable relics which were
stored there removed to a more Sc
cure building, but the clerks we're
allowed to hazard their lives daily
in the building. Last week an ex-
cavation was commenced in the
basement for an electric light
plant and it is possible that this
had something TO do with the col
lapse of the building.
Without a moments warning a
section of the third floor ia the
front part Of the building gave
way and its fall carried a portion
of the second and first floors with
it to the basement of the building.
The floors in the rear part of the
theatre remained in place and the
walls remained standing.
1t seems almost Incredible that
the loss of life should have been
so small when it is taken into con-
sideration that there were over
500 people in the building at the
time of the accident. The loss of
life might have been many times
as great and the fact that the num-
Der Of killed is no larger takes
none of the responsibility away
from the person or persons to
blame for the weakening of a
structure already known to be un-
safe. There are officials whose
duty it is to look after the build
ings belonging to the government
and under whose direction all
building, additions and repairs
are done. 1t appears that, had the
proper precautions been taken,
this appalling loss of life could
not have taken place, but the sup
ports of the front of the building
were weakened by the excavation
made and the occupants of
the death trap were not even warn
ed of the danger in which they
were. The inquest on the bodies
is now in progress and it is moro
than probable hat the evidence
will show where the blame be-
After the assassination of Lin
coin, in this building, by John
Wilkes Booth, % years ago, it was
not used for theatrical purposes
and not long after the ~assassina-
ton it was purchased by the gov
eminent and has been used by the
war and pension departments ever
since. The interior of the build
ing was entirely remodeled after
was purchased by the govern
ment in 1886, and it was used for
the army medical museum and the
medical library, but the business
in the pension Office has increased
so rapidly in recent years that it
was necessary to have a large num-
Der of clerks in the building in adj
dition to the force in the pension
building.

FROM the number Of failures
which have occurred within the
past few weeks it is quite apparent
that something will have to be
done with the Sherman law. II
is doubtful whether the law has
any considerable number of sup
porters in the country now. The
silver men have opposed it's repeal
simply because it afforded a mar
ket for some of the silver which
is produced in this country but
they would willingly consent TO its
repeal If a free coinage law could
be passed in It's place,

The New York World sent out
inquiries to all the members of
congress last week asking their
views on the Sherman law. A
good many of the answers were
non-committal but there were
many more who favored the re-
peal of the law, providing a free
coinage law be passed to take its
place. The Sherman law adds
largely to the circulation of the
country and there are a good many
congressman who are opposed to
stopping this increase in the
circulation which amounts to about
100000 monthly. A free coin
age law would add still more large
ly to the circulation than the Sher-
man law does for all the silver
bullion now in the country would
be speedily coined and would be
placed in circulation instead of be-
ing boarded in the treasury vaults
as the silver bullion which is pur-
chased under the Sherman act is.
A majority of the members of con-
gress is undoubtedly in favor of
the repeal of the Sherman law but
the same day that the Sherman
law is repealed there will be a free
coinage law passed.

result of the Presidential election
there last fall encouraged the dem

give McKinleyism a death blow at
the coming election. The voters
of the state limited very strongly
at the last election that McKin-
leyism was not to their liking but

MEETINGS have already been
held in many Of the mining camps
in the southwest to select delegates
to the silver convention to be held
here three weeks from to-
day. 1t lie now certain that
the attendance of mining men
will be larger at the com
ing convention than it has been at
any of the conventions which have
been held heretofore. There APP
pears to be no lack of interest in
the question among the miners in
this section and they are going to
spare no effort to make the conven-
ton a success. Contributions of
money have been coming in from
men who are in earnest about the
work which the convention will
have to do and who are willing to
do their share. Inview of the prob
able meeting of congress in Sep
tember, there remains a deal of
work for the silver advocates to do
if the passage of a free silver bill
is to be accomplished at the COM
ing session. Converts are being
made to the silver side of the ques-
ton all the time but the time re-
naming is short before that time.
The convention here will probably
be the last silver convention to be
held before the meeting of con-
gress and it's work mnst be made
to count. To this end there must
be a largeand enthusiastic meeting
and its doings must be made
known to the people of other parts
of the country. No converts to the
silver cause are needed in the
southwest. Here everybody is in
favor of free coinage. The ques-
ton must be brought before the
people of other parts of the coun-
try in order to get them to think
ing about it. If they think about
it and have the ability to reason
they will see the situation in its
true light.

A gooD many millions of dollars
have been drawn out Of the banks
in this country within the past
three or four weeks. The large
number Of bank failures made
thousands Of d~epositors lose con-
Rdence in the banks and they have
withdrawn their deposits. This
action has reduced the amount held
by the banks very much and APP
plicants for loans will not find il
so easy TO get accommodated until
after confidence shall have been
restored. Most of the money which
has been withdrawn will remain
idle and it practically amounts to
the same thing as the withdrawal
Of that amount from circulation.
