to appoint Sergeant Wiegand but Martin had
managed TO secure the appointment of Creeden
In the afternoon. when Reppenhagen was
giving his testimony, the committee learned
that Captain Creeden had been suspended by
the Police Board at the request of the Superln-
tendent. and there were prompt expressions OF
indignation by the committee and the counsel.
II was declared that the Commissioners had
been guilty of contempt in defyng the commit
tee. and that they had also outraged decency
by suspending Creeden for telling the truth.
while they had failed to suspend captain
Schmittberger who was under indictment for
bribery. Captain Schmittberger had been be-
fore the committee in the forenoon and had re-
fused to answer a question as to the sum which
he had paid for his appointment, acting by adj
vice of counsel and on the ground that his an
swer might tend TO crminate him.
BOTH ARE VERY HUMBLE.

Passion and Pants.

One of the most fascinating clubmen in
town, who has great big weakness for
the fair sex and who delights in copying
sentimental verses into their albums, met
with blood curdling check the other day.
He was seated beside a lovely girl, who
lent coral and an attentive ear to all his
burning words. Ordinary language was
inadequate to express his emotion, SO he
scrubbed on a slip of paper taken at ram
dom from his pocketbook:
Oh, darling, hearken thy heart beats,
Art thou listening, sweet one, unto mine?
love thee, l love thee, love thee!
You fire up my pulses like wine.
The foregoing may not be strictly cor
rect, but the verses were Of that character
extremely warm and correspondingly
boshy. The poor sweet girl took them
with tear in her eye, and with glance
of ineffable tenderness at her adorer con-
cealed them in the folds of her dress. The
next morning, in the cold, gray, realistic
light, the clubman got letter. 1t was
brief, but to the point. 1t said, "When
next you write sentimental verses to me,
please do not let your romantic nature
make you careless" And the unfortunate
man read on the diverse of the scrap where
he had indited his soul thrilling lines:
"Mr. -, DR.. To cleaning and repair
ing six pairs of pants, six dollars" And
worse still, the bill was unreceipted. Even
Ovid, immortal bard of love, would have
the vim knocked out of him by such con-
tretemps. Francisco Newsletter.

There is no other locality, even the
boosted climate of southern France, that
can show such stable and equable
range of heat and cold. The health seek
er need fear no sudden changes. A little
attention to clothing and he can bid colds
and infammations defiance. In cases of
death from tubercular disease the New
Mexico rate is only 3 in 1000.
This is the lowest known record, and it
must be remembered that the local con-
tingent of consumptives is daily aug
mented by the immigration of those who
seek respite from that dreaded scourge.
The record of deaths ut Santa Fe is
much lower than the territorial average.
In New England the consumptive death
rate is 25 ont of every 1000 of tho COM
munity; in Minnesota it is IA, and
throughout the southern states six per
1000. This city enjoys the spring eli
mate of northern Illinois and Indiana;
the summer climate of Wisconsin, Michi-
gan and Minnesota, and the winter
temperature of southern Illinois, Indiana
aud Tennessee. This, however, is only rs
shown by the thermometer. The dry
tonic air of the mountain altitude fills one
with vivacity and health, and 80 strong is
the influence of the ozone and electricity
on the nerves and system that acclimation
is wonderfully rapid. This of itself is
great boon. Cases are on record of in
crease in the chest measure of immi-
grants here of from four to seven inches.
NATURAL ATTRACTIONS.
Besides this Santa Fe lies in a most
picturesque valley. It is at the entrance
of splendid canon, Astounding in natural
curiosities. 1t is also the gateway of the
Pecos National park, where fish aud game
abound. Within easy riding or driving
distances there are over forty places Of pic
turesque aud OF historic interest. Among
which may be mentioned the old adobe pal
nee, first erected shortly after 1905, from
which the Spanish viceroys ruled this
great province. The present structure
dates from about 17l6; but it is full of
interest, az every room is cousecrated by
the memory of thrilling events. In this
building Gen. Lew Wallace wrote his
famous Bon Hur.
The chapel of San Miguel, was built in
1880 and still stands. By its side is ths
oldest house IN the United States. The
walls of the old cathedral date from 1922,
but the rest of the structure IA of more
modern date. Within Convenient dis
tances are the Indian pueblos Of Tesuqua
and Nambc; in side canon of che Santa
Te are the delightful Aztec springs, while
about nine miles up the main water
course is Monument rock. The road
thither is one OF surpassing loneliness.
To the south of town Is Aqua Fria, and
the famous turquoise mines pronounced
by Tiffany the finest in tho world; and
beyond the Rio Grande are the San Ilde-
fonso Pueblo and the curious cliff dwell
