recognize his ability and ready to push

LEsNET rs LOST.
Further Information of the Disap.
pearance of the U. 5. Receiver
at Roswell.

The Pecos valley papers have finally
found out that Hon.. Frank Lesnet, re-
ceiver of the U. s. land Office at Roswell
/ is missing, and has been for more than q
month. After his visit among legislative
friends at Santa Fe, about She 9th of Feb.
ruary, Mr.. Lesnet went to Ell Paso and
there drew 5000 in currency from his
bank account. He was last heard of at
Pecos City. The Eddy Argus says:
"Judge W. A. Hawkins, who spent
Wednesday in Pecos City, says there is
scarcely any room to doubt that Lesnet
has been murdered. He was drinking in
Ell Paso and opened his valise in the
depot to get bottle of whisky and ex-
posed to sight $4OO in silver and $500 in
bills looking like large sum of money.
The train porter says that near Sierra
Blanca stranger, traveller, introduced
himself to Lesnet, learned that he was
going to Roswell and stated that as he
was coming to Eddy they would travel
together. He frequently sought to get
Lesnet to drink and tried to get pistol
that was exposed, by telling him the off,
GERS would arrest him. The last seen of
him, SO far is definitely known, was in a
saloon in Pecos City. He was drinking
but was not gambling. 1t is believed
that somewhere between the town and the
train Lesnet was murdered by some one
who followed him."
Chas. Perry, deputy sheriff of Roswell
and also deputy U. s. marshal, is work
ing ON the case earnestly, but has no
hopes of finding Lesnet alive. Tho miss
ing man has wife and family at Roswell
who are nearly prostrated with grief over
the continued absence of the husband
and father. Mr.. Lesnet was a prominent
figure in Masonic circles and that order
is leaving no stone unturned to clear up
the mystery.

CHARGES Against q Minister.

THE bitterness of NJ. Tricoupis," NJ.
Deschamps remarks, his fatal ardor for
work, his tragic and fatigued air. fill the
Greeks with stupefaction. 1t seems to
them his conception of life is strange,
and that he must have learned those
ways in morose ATTITUDES where the sun
never shines" When I was in Athens
some years ago, the most serious charges
against the prime minister | was able to
seize were the extensiveness of his col
lars and cuffs, which were found an Eng
fish exaggeration; his bolt uprightness
and his habit of speaking without gestic-
ulating-a r~anglaise, the Greeks would
bitterly add.-Westminster Review.

A Woman's wit.

The other day, says a correspondent
from Alsace. while / was on my way
from NJ. to T.. | found myself in com
pany with four gentlemen, each Of whom
was smoking. The train stopped at an
intermediate station. and a lady was on
the point of entering it. Being nearest
the carriage door. and observing that she
carried a basket, l FASTENED to help he1
in with it. Take care" said the lady.
Il have six pounds of dynamite in that
basket, which ! am taking to my hus-
band in a stone quarry" The train then
sped on. Quick as lightning the gentle
men exchanged glances and threw their
cigars out OF the window. All looked
horror stricken as they glanced first at
the frau and then at the basket.
My thoughts conjured up visions Of
the destruction of the Cafe Very in Par
is. My nominations were suddenly dis
turbed by a shout Of Station o." yelled
ont nv q ,nrter. The frau rose slowly
