Oriental Scenes In New Mexico.

''Traveling up the Rio Grande valley" said tourist just returned from New Mexico, ''some of the scenes that saw seemed to be rather of Syria than of a western territory of the United States The little patches of wheat and barley about the Indian and Mexican villages had been reaped, and the natives were threshing grain by the primitive means used in scriptural times In the open fields was the threshing floor of clay, leveled and beaten hard. Upon this the grain in the straw was stacked, and around the edge of the heap sheep or goats were driven in circle at top speed. As they ran the grain con tinually worked down from the center under their feet, which quickly threshed it from the straw. The hurrying an- imals; the dark-skined. picturesquely clad Mexicans and Indians shouting, gesticulating and cracking whips to urge them on; the brown bare armed women winnowing grain by tossing it high in blankets, made picture full of color and motion. In it's setting of arid landscape, bounded by distant mountains, with foreground diversi- fled by a few flat roofed mud houses, standing amid tiny vineyards, corn fields, and orchards, and few tower, ing cottonwoods marking the course oi the Rio Grande, the spectacle seemed an antique passage from the Orient. -- N Y, Sun.

German
 Syrup"

I must say a word as to the ef- fcscy of German Syrup. I have used it in my family for Bronchitis, the result of Colds, with most ex- cellent success. I have taken it my self for Throat Troubles, and have derived good results therefrom. I therefore recommend it to my neigh bors as an excellent remedy in such cases. James T. Durette, Earlys- vile, Va. Beware of dealers who offer you something just as good" Always insist on having Boschee's German Syrup. 9

LUMBERMEN MUST LEAVE.
A Suspicion That They Cut Mississippi
 Levees to Float Their Logs.


 Levees to Float Their Logs.
 NEW ORLEANS, Oct IA. A mass meet ing of citizens of Concordia parish was held last night to protest against the presence of the lumbermen and log cutters in the parish. A strong suspi- cion has always prevailed that the lumbermen cut the levees in order that the country may be overhowed, as that helps them to float their logs off the swamp. An overflow is blessing to them, for unless it comes their logs will remain in the swamp until they rot away, The mass meeting denounced those engaged in the business, and all persons have been warned to de- sist at once from cutting logs and to leave the parish within three days at their peril. An executive committee was appointed to see that the resolu- tions adopted were carried out, and they were authorized to call a posse whenever it became necessary to en- force their orders. The neighboring parishes of Tensas, Madison and Con- cordia in Louisiana and Chicot and Desha counties in Arkansas were in vited to join in the movement and drive out the log cutters Nearly all of the officials took part in the meeting. A resolution was also adopted ordering all labor agents engaged in soliciting la bor for plantations in this portion of the state to leave the parish at once at their neril.

What Was Done by the Los Angeles Cons
 vention.
 Los ANGELES, Cal Oct. 14.-At the irrigation convention the platform com mittee reported, the report being read by ex-Gov. Lionel Sheldon. It is in part as follows:
 Scenes enacted recently in the Cherokee strip are reminder that the pressure of surplus population still seeks an outlet in tho west and that settlement in that portion of the public domain where the rainfall is sufficient to sup port agriculture has reached it's limit
 The unsettled land now belonging to the United States Is mostly arid or semi-arid We confidently predict that these arid lands are destined to become the seat of the highest civil ization and the greatest average prosperity yet developed on this continent The development Of these lands can only be successfully attained by national legislation.
 The laws now governing waters and lands in Q number of the states and territories are in' adequate and dangerous We declare water in natural channels and beds is not private prop erty and that 1t can neither be bought nor sold.
 We claim that the streams rising Tn one state and flowing by natural courses through one or more other states must be conserved and equitably divided under federal author ity. We indorse the policy of forest and storage reservations, covering mountain watersheds It is an act of simple justice for the government to devote a portion of the money received for lands fit for agriculture without irrigation to the scientific investiga- tion of means for the reclamation of lands, and we earnestly urge speedy action by congress in this direction.
 In regard to arid lands, we recommend that a national executive committee composed of five competent men from each state and terri tory in the arid and semi.ard regions shall at once enter upon careful investigation of conditions existing in each of their states and territories, and then formulate plans looking to a national policy, and upon these reports declaratig1is 0; the people of the western states may be based

TIE extra session of congress, with its weak talk, has proven windfall in the way to some of the colored men who have charge of the cloak room in the house. Parched mouths and husky throats have resulted from too much talk by. the representatives of the peo- pie, and these enterprising custodians of the cloak rooms have thought of a clever means of turning it to their ad- vantage. In the cloak room on the democratic side they have fitted up a fruit stand which is making Italian vendors envious. Piled in profusion are great big juicy California pears, red-cheeked apples, plump yellow ba- nanas, Malaga grapes, and great va riety of other juicy and tempting fruit. These are sold to members, who, hay ing talked their threats dry, come there for rest and refreshment, and there is a hourishing business being done.

UNDER the title of Lightning Ex- press Railway Service" F. E. Behr, an English civil engineer, publishes full statement of his plans. The motive power proposed is electricity, and the method that which is known as the Lartigue single-rail system, which, in a rudimentary form, is now at work on a short line of nine miles and half from Listowell to Ballybunion, in Ire land, and from Feurs to Panissieres, in the department of the Loire, France There are many advantages claimed for this idea, including the absolute impossibility of a train leaving the metals; its cheapness of construction, as we'll as speed that brings Edinburg within three hours of London. The king of the Belgians has accepted the dedication of Mir. Behr's interesting little work.

THE YACHT RACE.
The Third Trial and the Cup Won by the
 Nigilant.

Vigilant
 NEW YORK, Oct 1.-The Vigilant defeated the Vallyrie for third time yesterday, after hard battle. A few seconds before the starting gun was fired both boats were flying for the line, close hauled by the starboard tack, the American boat little in the lead with the Englishman off the weather quarter.
 It was close call and for time it looked as though the Vigilant would be over first and handicap the Valkyrie by half minute Skipper Hanson was a little too anxious, however, and had to pay the penalty for this by being the line. The result was loss to the American boat, for she had to Huff in order to weather the way.
 The race was an exciting one from start to finish and at one time the Vigilant seemed doomed to defeat.
 The Englishman was leading by sev- cral lengths, when little split ap- peared on the inner reach of the cut ter's spinnaker. Larger and larger the rent seemed to grow, and when it had spread ten feet out, Capt Cran- field was forced to take it in. In two minutes another spinnaker of light Irish linen was taken and quickly run up.
 It was all in vain, however, for the wind was blowing nearly half a gale and this light canvas was soon torn into shreds This crushed forever the hopes of an English victory for one brief day, for although balloon jib top-sail was hoisted instead of a spinnaker, the Valkyrie fell astern and crossed the l.x..o .l..l 4La N;..iln.+
