in classical music you have actually
something that is existing upon

an innate desire to make believe.
They want to appear what they are

The leading English scientists,
Jones, Hilton, ct al, are figuring on
the earth finally collapsing as a re-
suit Of the modern craze for tapping
natures great gas retorts. They
argue that the earth is huge bal
loon held up, in part at least, by
heat and internal gases, and that
when natures great gas main is
eventually exhausted the earths
crust may break in and fall into mill
lions of fragments Ugh. The very
thought of such calamity is start
ling. They argue that the steady
belching forth of millions Of feet Of
gas every hour Of the day and night
is surely causing great vacuum
somewhere not far beneath the sur
face, and that sooner or later the
thin archway of earth-crust will give
way. Then will occur the grand eli.

Their Knowledge HASN'T Increased.

General Knyphausen, who come
manded the Hessian mercenaries in
America, in 1776, knew little Of the
sea, and less of geography. On the
voyage to America, he was on board
Lord Howe's ship, where he passed
several uncomfortable weeks, as the
voyage was unusually long. Knyp-
hansen had the strongest scruplee
against interfering, but the time
came when he could keep silence no
longer. He marched stiffly up to the
admiral and said: ''My lord. | know
it is the duty of soldier to be sub
missiye at sea, but being intrusted
with the troops Of his serene high
ness, my master, feel it my duty to
inquire if it be not possible that,
during the extremely dark nights we
have lately had, we may have sailed
past America ?"-Argonaut.

MOCK TRIAL IN THE roMRs.
Conducted by six Murderers All Under
Sentence OF Death.

Conducted by six Murdersrs All Under
Sentence OF Death.
The most singular trial on record
was that held in the Tombs a few
years ago it was trial by jury, in
which the court and the counsel were
composed of men under sentence OF
death and literally living in the
shadow of the gallows. After the at
tempted escape Of Danny Lyons and
Danny Driscoll had been frustrated.
Warden Osborne conceived and put
into execution a scheme which made
like attempts out of the question.
Murderers' row in the old building
was vacated and the ground floor OF
the left corridor of the new ten
day" house fitted up for the recep-
ton and safe-keeping of those doomed
to death according to law. The
warden's idea was a novel one. He
had screen of strong wire built be-
tween each cells door to the win
dows on the opposite side of the
corridor This gave each convict a
separate space to walk in for exer-
else. The death watch occupied
chairs between each screen, and the
men were constantly in their sight
1t also allowed them to see each
other and their visiting friends, and
to converse when they felt in that
mood.
The first to occupy the cells were
six men convicted of murder in the
first degree and sentenced to be
hanged in the Tombs. They were
Giblin, Packenham, Carolin, Lewis,
Nolan and Carleton They were all
executed except Giblin, who killed
a baker named Getz His sentence
was committed to imprisonment for
life. Carleton, who was known by
the sobriquet Of Handsome Harry"
who shot and killed Officer Brennan,
was the last to be hanged, and was
the last one executed in the Tombs.
Sunday is always the dullest day
in the Tombs, for no visitors are adj
mitted, and the condemned were left
to their own sad thoughts. Giblin
proposed that they try one Of their
number by jury, and Carolin, who
chopped his unfortunate wife to
death with Ratchet. was singled
out to be tried. ..Old Man Packen-
ham, who killed his wife with a pair
Of scissors, was made Judge; Giblin,
district attorney; Carleton, counsel
for the defense, and Lewis and Nolan
the jury. After the consent Of Dep.
uty Sheriff Caraher was given the
trial proceeded, every part of the
judicial programme being infinitely
carried out. even to putting Carolin
on the stand to testify in his own
behalf
But despite the argement OF Garlic
ton that it could only be man
slaughter and not murder, the jury
found him guilty without leaving
their seats. The effect on CAROLYN,
the deputy sheriff said, was painful
and pitiful to witness. He never
raised his eyes while "Old Man.
Packenham sentenced him to die on
the goth OF August, 1889. From that
day he seemed to weaken and the
authorities were afraid he would
break down completely. Fathers
Pendergast and Galenas, with the
sisters, who were daily in attend
ance, tried to comfort and rally him,
but without avail. The verdict OF
his fellows had almost killed him.

showing that he had been appointed as
commissioner, vice R. M. White, removed
by President Cleveland. Comr. Holiday,

committees of six be appointed to pass

commission. The resolution was adopted.
A letter from the attorneys represent
ing Comr. R. NJ. White, of New Mexico,

regarding the removal of Mr. White from
the commission, was read. The attorneys
held that the law passed by congress Great

RAIL NOTES.

ID. b. Robinson, first vice-president and
general manager of the A., T. i s. F., is
visiting southern New Mexico.
Freight business on the narrow gauge
lines continues good despite the season
of summer dullness. Almost every day
last week an extra freight train was run.
The Pecos Valley railway received
another locomotive from Schenectady,
N. Y, coming to Eddy in charge of Fl.
Hoffman, who will set it up and test it
before returning. This is No. 5.
Notwithstanding the reports which have
been sent out in reference to the proba-
bility of an early resumption of the work
on the railroad south from Deming, there
is nothing new to be reported. The con-
cession has not been renewed by the Mex
ican government, and there will be great
difficulty in getting new con-
cession unless the money has been raised
to carry on the work.
Another change went into effect on the
Rio Grande system Sunday last which is a
stronger indication of the retrenchment
that the company is inaugurating than
has been previously announced. This is
the abolishment of the regular passenger
train between Denver and Trinidad and
the putting on of mixed freight and
passenger train. This action on the part
of the road will be quite surprise to
many who have for several years looked
upon Trinidad3as one of the commercial
centers of the state.
The traiRwhich have been running from
La veta over the La Veta pass to
CFeeaa was also abolished, and mixed
trl-weekly train will be run from La Veta
to Creede, but daily train will be run
regularly between Alamosa and Creede. A
mixed train will also be operated between
Cucharas and La Veta daily.
The next move may take place on the
Durango branch and it is wondered what
will be done, as the Rio Grande is run
ming two trains each way practically to
that point, one connecting with the South
ern at Ridgeway and tho other, tho scenic
route, via Chama.

Republican senators can be set down,
says the Inter- Ocean, as favoring such
repeal, namely, Sherman of Ohio, Aldrich

Hiscock of New York, Hoar of Massa
