''The officer in charge Of the United
States signal service station on the top
Of Pixies peak has rather a Lonesome
time Of IL, especially in winter" said
Major G. P. Leonard Of Colorado. "He
lives in low, fat building made Of
stone, which is anchored and boltsd to
the granite bowlders During the winter
months he has no connection whatever
with the rest of the world, as it is inn
possible for a human being to ascend to
his station and just as impossible for
him to 90 down.
"Snow is his only water supply, and
even in the heat of summer there is al
ways enough within few feet Of his
door to furnish all the water needed.
His official duties are light, requiring
only an occasional inspection of the In
struments. The rest of the time he o.
cupies in reading and viewing the sur
rounding country through his telescope
On a clear day the houses Of Colorado
Springs, 20 miles away, are plainly Wis
ible, and during the summer he can see
men walking around the town in their
shirt sleeves and ladies clothed in white
dresses, while he is perched up among
the clouds, with snow piled around on
all sides. st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

1t was great day in tho driving park,
and there had never been a finer display
Of wealth on wheels seen in that local
ity, and a man had come out to see what
it all meant. 1t was plain he had never
seen q carriage parade before After a
bit he turned to one Of the great mass Of
spectators
"What is it?' he inquired, nodding
toward the gorgeous pageant.
tits q carriage parade Of our most
fashionable classes, was the reply.
'Oh, >" said the man, 'it's a kind of
parade Of the unemployed, is it?''
The other one looked ouriously at the
man.

he knew what he was talking about, and

One If the simplest devices for snug

and shoes constructed so as to leave q
small vacant space in the heels are easily
obtained in Europe, and they are espe-
cially manufactured for the purpose Of

The porous plaster has often served as
"A means of secroting diamonds When
it is understood that $40, 600 worth Of
diamonds or more can easily be inclosed
in a paper parcel about as wide rs this
column, x inches high and about a
quarter Of an inch thick, it is easy to
comprehend that such package can be
kept securely in place by means Of an
innocent but highly serviceable porous
plaster.
One of the most ingenious methods
ever employed was the use Of a cake Of
soap, wherein a number Of diamonds
had been imbedded. 1t is highly proba-
BILE that this plan would have proved
successful had il not been that the Off
Gers of the government had received in

LINE TOMN ANp A eoop PAPER.

~ ~ q AUU " AM tUUU L 4 flts
The Deming Headlight will in
future be issued semi-weekly. Its
first appearance in its new form
was made last Wednesday, and
while its editor is deserving of
much credit for his enterprise, it
also indicates the possibilities at
the command of a newspaper in a
live town where the business men
work together for the upbuilding
and developing of the place. 1t has
been made possible for Mr. Wal
ton to introduce this new and
highly commendsble feature in
his business through the very gen
erous and practical support accord
ed him by the citizens and busi-
ness men of Deming.
That Deming is developing into
a thrifty, wideawake little city
there is no mistake, and that the
Headlight is great factor in the
work is equally true. Many peo-
pie think that it is the newspaper
which makes the town, and while
this is in a measure true, it is lust
as true that a newspaper can only
DO bright spicy aud enterprising
in the same degree that the mer-
chants and citizens Of a town are
alive to their own interests. To
print a good paper in a town with
out advertising is like running a
locomotive without steam or a ship
without sail The citizens of
Deming support their home insti-
tutions; every dollar that is made
IN the town is spent among her
business men and the result is that
every commercial venture and ey-
cry pubic enterprise Is a success.
What is true Of Deming Is also
true OF every town which possess
es business men of energy and
push. Instead Of snarling and
bowling "hard times" and mo
money" the merchants of Deming
reach out for business, protect
their customers, advertise their
goods aud thus create the impress
sion at home and abroad that
theirs is one Of the best towns in
the southwest.

WHEN Senator David Bennett
Hill, of New York, goes to exam
inc his presidential nest in 1896,
he will undoubtedly find a goose
egg in it. His speech in the SEN
ate on the Wilson bill, on the 9th
inst. removed the hypocritical
cowl behind which he has been
masquerading so long and leaves
no doubt as to his identity. His
deliberate and malicious attack
upon the President and his cabinet
and his venomous assault upon
the recognized leaders Of his
party, shows him to be q dangerous
treacherous man. When he maligns
such men as VOORHEES,, Vest and
Mills; men who are bis superiors
in all that pertains to statesman
ship and political purity, he de-
clares himself a designing dema-
gogue of the deepest dye. 1t mat
ters not to what political party a
man belongs, when he proves him
self traitor, he forfeits the conf
dence Of all decent, honest people.
His Tamanyism overshadows his
political honor, and his democracy
Is subyerted by the dog-in-the-
manger policy which he has pur-
sued ever since he came into po-
Htlcal prominence.

Anybody who imagines that the news
boys do not read the papers might easily
have been convinced to the contrary if
he had been in the vicinity Of Fifth ave-
nue. and Fiftytirst street when the news
of the Minister of Foreign Affairs at
Honolulu, Sanford b. Dole's, defiance
came out in The EUening Sun. Mr..
Cleveland bought a house next door to
the Benedict house, and dag onally OPP
posite that of the Vanderbilts. about
two years ago, aud nearly everybody in
the district was more or less in
terested in the transaction. The news
boys knew where the President had
lived, aud they swarmed up to Fifty
first street and yelled extra until the
heads of half the people in the block
were thrust from the windows. Some
of them yelled cleveland turned
down." and others added variety to this
by crying "Clevelaud's name is mud"
The earlier arrivals reaped a harvest,
but long after verybody in the block
had been supplied with papers solitary
newsboys continued to wander to and
fro, bowling their comments upon the
failure of Mr., Cleveland's Hawaiian
policy with undated vehemence. --NeW

TOO COLD FOR THEM.
The Complaint of Hawailans at the Mid
winter Fair.

winter Fair.
William Ordway has returned from
San Francisco, arriving by the Mono.
wal. He went to the Coast to assist in
the management of the Hawaiian viii
lage at the Midwinter Fair. Mr.. Ord
way reports that he was simply frozen
out He says that several mornings there
was ice on the water in vessels at the
Fair grounds. During these cold waves
the natives double up like jack knives.
They become disheartened and pine for
the islands of everlasting warmth, the
land of the rainbow. A number of the
Hawaiians are determined TO come
home, and Mr.. Ordway expects some of
them on the Australia next Saturday.
From passengers aboard the Monowai
it was learned that the Fair was well
worth seeing. Those who compliment
it most highly are travellers who visited
the Chicago Exposition. However, there
is considerable fault finding. San Fran
cisco is the one place in all California
where the climate is bad, and visitors
who expected to find balmy weather
have been disappointed. Owners of flats
and lodging houses act like licensed
highbinders. They fix their rates at
exorbitant figures. The town is infes-
ted with sneak thieves, confidence oper-
ators, gamblers and fakirs of all classes,
and ''hold-ups' of the boldest and most
desperate class. Chief Crowley is doing
his best to suppress the lawless element,
but the influx from the East has been
so great that at times the San Francisco
police seem powerless.

The Annexation Club, as a club, has
active politics. Action adopting this
course was taken at meeting Saturday
night. On account OF the severe rain
storm the attendance was very slight. A
report was made by +. b. McStocker, of
the committee selected to transform the
club into working political party. He
submitted that such plan seemed mex
pedient, but that there was apparent
necessity for more comprehensive
and united organization. After this
was heard the clubs officers adjourned
subject to the call of the president
a meeting Tor the formation OF the
new party was at once held. Geo. w.

CRUISE OF THE ToLNA.

Count and Countess Festetics Reach
Tahiti After "a Pleasant Voyage.
News were received yesterday of the
arrival at Tahiti of Count and Countess
Festetics in their yacht, the Tolna. Let
tiers received few days ago were dated
from Tanning Island, where the party
made landing. This island is one of
a little group that lies in mid-ocean,
about halfway between Honolulu and
Samoa, being situated between three
degrees and four degrees north of the
equator. 1t is the property of the Greig
family, who are Americans. Here they
live an ideal life, apart from all Others
of their kind, save one hundred natives
who do their work. Once only in six
months do they hear from the world
and then little sailing vessel comes
laden with mail and books and pro-
visions, even newspapers six months
old.
Tanning Island is British possession,
though it is the property of the Greig
family, who work it for copra and
guano. 1t is coral islet with fine
lagoon, which has been entered by sew
eral warships. The island has circum-
ference of about thirty miles. 1t was
annexed to Great Britain in 1859 by
Admiral Richards. The proposed cable
across the Pacific ocean, from Austral-
asia to British North America, will
probably cross Tanning Island.
The island has many groves of cocoa
nut palm trees, and the people derive an
income from the production of the co
coanut oil.
The voyage of the Tolna from Homo
lulu has been pleasant and uneventful
The new crew, consisting principally Of
Kanakas, which had been shipped al
Honolulu, has been in every way salts
