health there is every reason to believe
the bill would have been passed and an
inspector chosen without much further
delay.
With the assistance of the vote of the
mayor, however, an amendment has
been tackled on providing that this Off
Ger shall be chosen by concurrent vote,
instead of in joint convention, as origi-
nally provided.
The effect of this amendment, If II is
concurred in by yhe common council,
will be TO axe from the majority the
right to elect and give to the minority
the power 10 say who shall and who
shall not be chosen. That is to
say, that though every one OF
the members of the common
council and five members of the board
Of aldermen should vote for the same
candidate they could not elect him.
There would be the overwhelming
majority in his favor of As TO D, but
while those five could not elect any one
of their own choosing they could prevent
an election by defeating concurrence.
Nor is 1t too much to say that If this
amendment finally becomes a part OF
the law there will be struggle quite as
long and equally as bitter as that which
resulted from an attempt to elect COM
missioner of public works by concurrent
vote few years ago. During the
many months over which that fight was
drawn out the public work suffered and
the city was a loser to an extent not
easily estimated.
But it is apparent that neither the
mayor nor the West combine care how
much the people suffer so long as they
are able to defy the will of the ma
jority.

New Mexican Turquoise Mines.

From the Los Angeles (CAl) Iiu2esl
The company of New York capitalists
who have been developing the turquoise
mines in the Burro mountains have met
with magnificent success. Tiffany, the
celebrated New York jeweler, is at the
head of the enterprise. The capital stock
is one million dollars, and on this six
per cent. dividend hae been declared from
the earnings of the mines for the past nine
months The scene of the operation Is
about twenty-four miles from Silver City,
but for some unknown reason but little or
nothing Is heard of these wonderful minee-
1t has been known for years past that tur-
auoise stones were there, but they were
commonly supposed to be poor variety,
and their mining was left to the Pueblo
Indians. The mines are said to be centu-
ries old, and the better stones were com
monty supposed to have been taken by the
ancient Aztecs. Now that the capitalists
have developed properties, 1t has been
found that the stones are equal TO those
found In Persia, and the very best at that.
The stockholders are getting rich from the
proceeds, and IL is estimated that thou
sands of dollars worth of the precious
stones are extracted and shipped weekly
The strangest part of the enterprise is thai
but few residents of southern New Mexico
are aware of the mines or the vsstness oi
the results. 1t Is said that stones of al
most equal value to thoee found in ths
Burros exist in many places in Grant
county, but the properties have never beer
developed.

AN INTERESTING DECISION.

AN INTERESTING DECISION.
A Texas liquor dealer has evoked q very
interesting and significant decision from
the United States Supreme court. He got
a notion that the State of Texas was not
treating him right, and he was determined
to have his rights If he could get them.
So he went to law. Liquor-dealers in Texas
are not only taxed higher than other
people, but are also required to pay their
taxes sooner, while there are other dis
criminations against them. He set up the
claim that this legislation against his class
was in violation of the Fourteenth amend
ment to the Federal constitution, which
declares that no state shall make or en-
force any law which shall abridge the
privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property without due pro-
cess of law; nor deny to any person the
equal protection of the laws. The court
made short work of this claim. 1t pointed
out that the privileges and immunities
of citizens of the United States spoken of
in this amendment are privileges and i'm
munities arising out of the nature and es-
sential character of the national govern
ment, and granted or secured by the con-
stitution; and declared that the right to sell
intoxicants is not one of the rights grow
ing out of such citizenship. While ad-
mitting that the Fourteenth amendment
forbids any arbitrary deprivation of life,
liberty, or property, it held that 1t was not
designed to interfere with the power of
the State to protect the lives and property
of its citizens and to promote their health
and morals. Nor WAS the provision in re-
gard to the equal protection of the laws
intended to compel State to adopt an
iron rule of equality in regard to taxation,
or to prevent the classification of property
at different rates, SO long as there ia nc
discrimination in favor of one as against an
other person of the same class. AS the
statute in question affects all liquor dealers
in Texas alike, it is within the prerogative
of the State.
This decision will not please the liquor
dealer who was the cause of 1t, but 1t will
please prohibitionists and sticklers fol
State rights.

An Equine Heciuse.

There is . remarkable recluse on the top
floor of the big six-story building 81 Gold
street. For nine years he has not left his
quarters, or gone down a flight of stairs
even. All his food is carried up to him,
and he rounds out the years In uneventful
seventeen years old, and weighing over
thirteen hundred pounds, and he earns his
keep by going ceaselessly round and round
tan-bark ring pushing sweep, and fur
nishing power for hoisting bales of leather
to different floors.
Few busy New Yorkers know that few
years ago horse power was almost entirely
used for hoisting purposes In the leather
district populsrly known as "the Swamp
The story goes that o short time back q
gentleman who lived at an unknown hotel,
and who was chiefly noted for his convivi-
ality, found himself by some unaccounta-
BILE means on Spruce street at an early
hour on Sunday morning. Looking up
ct the sky, through which the dawn was
lust breaking, he saw. or thought he saw,
a horse's head projecting through an up
per window of tall building. BE could
hardly believe there was q horse there, and
he looked again, and saw a white equine
head clearly outlined against the sky.
Thoroughly alarmed as to his condition, he
hurried to cab, drove to his hotel, and
hastily rousing some friends who wor-
shipped Bacchus only to q moderate de-
gree, returned with them to Spruce street.
Much to his relief, his friends, too, soon
saw the horses head, and the party re-
turned uptown, one of them at least in
much better spirits than he came.
The horse at 81 God street is the only
remaining equine elevator in the Swamp.
Nine years ago he was hoisted to the top
floor, and every working day since then he
has earned his daily oats by walking round
and round his tan-birk ring. He has
never left the top floor, and he probably
never will till his body is taken away for
burial. He hears the neighs and whinnies
of other horses far below him in the busy
streets, but he cannot respond; he cannot
rub noses with other horses, and he has
forgotten what 1t is like to be turned out
to pasture and feed on fresh green grass.
His owners estimate that he travels nine
miles a day on an average. According to
this estimate he has covered twenty one
thousand miles around his ring, and If he
lasts eight years more, as is expected, he
will at the end of his service have covered
forty thousand miles in round numbers.

FREE EMPLOYMENT BUREAUS

FREE EMPLOYMENT BUREAUS.
There are always many workers looking
for work, and there is always more or less
work waiting for workers. How to bring
the work and the workers together most
promptly and conveniently is a problem
which has been much discussed by philan-
thropists and others. A practical attempt
to solve it has been made in Ohio, and
with such success that 1t seems to be well
worth the attention of all interested. A
law in that State provides for the estab-
llshment of free employment bureaus in
all cities having population of $4,000 or
more. Offices have been opened in
Toledo, Cleveland, Dayton, Cincin-
natl and Columbus. Under the law
the commissioner of labor appoints in
each Of these cities superintendent and
| such clerical assistants as are necessary,
the Office expenses being borne by the
State. but the salaries of the superintend-
ents and clerks being paid by the cities in
which the offices are located. Toledo made
provision for a superintendent only; the
other Offices have each o clerk. In making
| appointments the commissioner selected
men for superintendents and women for
clerks. The law makes it the duty of the
bureau to keep record of the application
of all persons desiring employment and all
who wish to employ labor. employer and
employed being thus put upon equal foot.
ing SO far as the opportunity to:make theil
wants known is concerned. The officers
are forbidden, under penalty, to receive
fees of any kind.
How useful these bureaus have been IL
indicated by the fact that during eighteer
months the five received and filed 81 ,00t
applications from employees and 60, ,0O(
from employers, while positions wer'
found for 38, 900 persons, about one-third
of the men and three fourths of the womer
who applied being successful in obtaining
employment. The whole expense O
maintaining the system, including sal
aries, has been less than $4,000. Ii
. three of the cities these free bureaus hav'
entirely superseded the private employ
ment or ''intelligenee" Offices, many o
which were notorious for the extortion
and fraud practised upon those who wer
induced to register with them. 1t is esti
mated that, by an expenditure of $1,000
on these State Offices, not less than $10o,
600 in fees and exactions has in the pas
year and half been saved to the working
people of these five cities.
This is certainly very cheering show
ing. And $40, GOO is by no means hig
price to pay for the benefit received fror

they were required to make cigars without
tobacco. Eight hundred of them marched
to the Mayors Office and publicly stated
their troubles. Bad tobacco was given to
them, they said, and then when they
turned In bad cigars they were mulcted of
their wages because of alleged bad work.
With 500 tobacco leaves they were expected
to make 900 cigars. ''This Is the reason, I"

A new method of preserving pictures Is
being experimental with In London. 1t
consists of placing the surface of the pict-
ure, be it canvas or paper, in vacuum,
thus protecting 1t from atmospheric ao-
ton. The picture Is inolosed in metal
frame or case, covering the back and sides
and projecting from the sides like an ordi-
nary frame. A plate of glass Is inserted
In the edges of the case, just as in an ordi-
nary frame, and hermeticslly sealed to the
metal. The air Ia then withdrawn from
between the surfacs of the picture and the
glass, and the painting is in vacuum. 1t
ia believed this plan will effectually protect
pictures from the action of dampness, air,
gases, and other causes that operate to
destroy paintings exposed or framed in
the ordinary way.
Mr.. Robert +. Walsh has carefully
studied the interesting msckerel, and he
shows by investigation of the mackerel
fisheries of the southern lush coast in the
seventeenth century that the fisheries were
almost entirely destroyed for a season BE-
cause the French fishermen undertook to
catch the msckerel on their way to the
spawning ground. The mackerel do not
change their habits. They seek the same
spawning ground year after year, and, If
they are interfered with, they take oircu-
itous route to find Ii. It Is in taking these
new routes that the fshermsn are disap-
pointed by not finding them on their usual
ground. There is another reason why the
mackerel supply on our own coast has
failed, and this is that some of the fisher
men have attempted to catch them before
the roes had delivered their spawn on the
spawning ground, thus destroying the sup
ply for the next season.
