One day she went to the piano of her

heard her in public, and it seemed to
him that her glorious voice had never
sounded so well as it did now in the

throbbed and his head swan. He

"A few hints for those who have to
provide luncheons for travellers: Tastes
differ, but one tires of sweets after the
first meal. Spicy gingerbread ginger
snaps or cocoanut cookies will be rel
ished. In the line of meats, ham, dried

and the drinking of ice water is to be
avoided by travellers who regard health.

good meats for luncheon.

Flies are the pest and worry of all

room of them is an unsolved problem
to many. This is quite easily accom-
plished by taking advantage of the
flies habit of flying to the window or
place from which light is admitted.

shades over which is firmly pinned a
sheet of the common transparent fiv

at one of the east, south or west win

time ere the flies in the room will be
sticking to this paper in their effort to
be near the light. This is far easier
and more clearly than placing paper
about the room for them to accidentally

within certain limits. Thus in one
wood there are thirty-nine rings, and
the tree for our purpose may be con-
sidered forty years old in round num-
bers. Twenty of these rings, or the
older half, show marked color, being
much darker than the super-imposed
twenty years of annual deposits. Sew

THE PIKEMAN OF OLD.
A Soldier of FeudaI Times and His Peculiar
Weapon.

Weapon.
The pikeman was covered with de-
fensive armor, an iron headpiece, iron
back and breast" and "tasses," a kind
of iron apron protecting him from waist
to knee He carried a pike sixteen feet
long, with an ashen shaft, an iron head
and blunt iron spike at the butt end,
whereby to fix it in the ground; and,
besides the pike, rapier.
The pike, from its great length, was
a weapon which required deft handling
in order to be of effective use, and, as
may be imagined, was excessively
snowy on parade. The modern lance
exercise is a pretty sight enough, but
the old pike exercise, perfectly executed
by large body of men, must have been
superb. We are not surprised, there
fore, to find that the postures, or in
structions, for this exercise are extrav-
agantly minute.
To give one example, at the close of
the instruction on the word "Order

complicated details the following con-

REGISTRATION FRAUDS.

1t was discovered to-day that the SOW
era! boards of registration which the Re-
publican county board had appointed to
serve the people in lawfully registering
their names, had been guilty Of the most
f.grant frauds. The law directs that all
names of resident known to be qualified
voters on the old lists shall be incorpor-
ated in the new lists. 1t is found that in
very many instances this law has been
violated, and that in every case the name
so left off the lstsis that of Democra-
tic voter. In other cases lists that were
reported to the boards by citizens known
to be Democrats were not registered.
The grossest frauds are in the 18th pre-
cints where james Conklin had
charge Of the books. In this way the
names Of such good Democrats as fol-
lows have been left of the lists: H. W.
Loomis, Domingo GiEon, Nazario Valdez
John W. Miller, Jose Martinez y Padilla,
3artolome Cordova, Levi Miller, Chas. A.
Scheurich, Etanislado Sandoval, Antonio
Vigil, G. c. Nichols. and others.
Upon tho proper affldavits being pre-
sented, Judge Lauglin this afternoon
granted writ of mandamus directing
the boards of registration to properly
list these names. r
The circumstances shows to what
straights the Catron- Conklin- Borrego
gang are going to try and defeat honest
government at the polls tomorrow.

CArRoN's DOODLE.


To the Editor Of the New Mexican.
Mora, N. NJ, Nov. S.-The Catron barl
must be running low. At any rate letters
picked up here they had evidently fallen
from the Republican boss pocket have
fallen into the hands of ths politicians,
and their contents would seem to indi-
cate that "de ole man" has had to scratch
and dig at lively rate to get Doodle for
carrying on his campaign. That the
cash is wanted for campaign purposes
there can be no doubt, for the whole
tenor of these missives breathes it, and
in order that the NEW MEXICAN may be
able to verify still further its charge, re-
peatedly brought, that the Catronists are
relying on Doodle, and not principles, to
carry them through in this campaign, l
herewith send you some extracts from
these letters:
Under date of October 26, '94, one of
Candidate Catron's Office clerks writes to
him here at Mora thus: OK Il Re-
o5i7ad check this a. m. from s. B. Elkins
for $3.50 and put that to your credit.
" Have just seen Mr.. Staab and he
sends to you duplicate letter to Las Vegas
and Mora with blank note for $500 to
sign. Upon its return he will loan the
$500 all right.
"Kerens wired yesterday that to help
you he would pay $1,000 for the Antonio
Ortiz stock supposed to refer to Juana
Lopez grant stock. Charlie Spiess saw
Antonio Ortiz about it and they have
made draft. II you will write to Don
Antonio suppose you can get portion
of it," ~
The second letter is from B'rer Staab,
dated also on Oct 26, in which he informs
the Republican boss that he has de-
posted in the bank $500 to the credit of
the boss, shrewdly adding;
Herewith hand you one of my form
notes, which please sign and return by
first mail.
81 will here state,' continues Mr..
Staab's letter, "that myself am at pres
ent little short of ready cash, but on
occasions of this kind, in order to help a
friend of mine, generally make some
effort to help him, and expect payment
when due. Hoping you are meeting
with success in your campaign. am"
ETC., closes the letter from B'rer Staab.
There is much more in these two mis-
sives that would interest your readers,
but as it is of private business nature
omit 1t, taking only those extracts re-
lating to the Doodle campaign which Cat.
ron is putting up. J.P.T
