Famous Paintings of the World.

The originals of the works reproduced
in Famous Paintings of the World are
drawn from SO many different sources as
to reflect nearly all the conditions of
human society. These paintings have
not been derived from one country, one
people, OF one race. They have been
gathered from the most diverse and dis
tant quarters. They show the most
striking incidents of modern society.
There are, to limited extent. great bat
tie pictures. War has not ceased and art
has not ceased to delineate it's cruel raw
ages. Most of the pictures, however,
are three that represent the peaceful
aspects of life. Many are domestic and
home pictures. Macy others are such as
gather their themes from the romantic
ard love-making period. And SO our
readers, to whom we conscientiously
recommend Famous Paintings of the

MARRIED IN APRIL 80.
Col. Breckenridge Had Wife When He

Last Promised to Marry Miss Pollard,
New York, March 16-Although Con-
gresham Breckenridge was married to
Mrs. Louis S. Wing in this city April 30,
1858, the marriage certificate was not
filed at thesbureau of vital statistics here
until today. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. DR.. John R. Paxton, at
that time pastor of the West Presby terian
church at his residence No. 5 l West 46th
street. The certificate came by mail
The handwriting on the paper is iden-
tical with that of Col. Breckenridge
but the signature is certainly that of Dir.
Paxton Doubtless Col. Breckenridge
filled in the blank form and the clergy
man simply signed it, On the outside of
the envelope in which the certificate was
enclosed, was written: Z IT not delivered
10th street." The writing on the envelope
looks like DR.. Paxton's According to
the certificate Col. Breckenridge had been
married to Mrs. Wing several months
previous to the time he is alleged to have
confessed to Miss Pollardhis engagement
to the widow. The Congressman was
publicly married to Mrs. Wing but since
the trial it has been limited that,th
defence would prove that there was
former secret marriage which would
show that the defendant was not legally
in the position to agree to marry Miss
Pollard at the time when, according to
the witnesses for the plaintiff, he did so
contract. Col. Moore, Chief of Police of
Washington, testified that Col. Breckin-
ridge and Miss Pollard went to his office
May ii OF last year and that, in his
presence, the congressman declared that
he would marry Miss Pollard on May 81.
Before that time, as is now shown, he
was married in this city to his present

GROWTH OF IRRIGATION.

The irrigation idea is growing rapidly

American and Mexican governments

system admit that upon irrigation de-

The New MEXICAN notes with pleasure
that the Republican papers of the terri
tory are coming out strongly for state
hood. 1t shows that these papers realize
that even if congress passes our enabling
act big fight must be then waged ever
the adoption of constitution. In the
latter contest, there should be, as Mr.. Jo-
seph says, no politics, for neither party
is strong enough to adopt constitution
as a party measure. All factions should
come together for the good of the terri
tory In it's efforts to escape from its pres
snt state of political vassalage.

MISTAKEN, AS USUAL,

We extract this detachable bit from q
half-column editorial in the Albuquerque
Democrat:
"The up-to-date meaning Of the word
metropolis, is the chief city of q country,
a state or territory. Originally the word
was applied to mother cities or the seats
of government, but usage now bestows
the title upon the greater municipal cen
tiers of trade and population. For the
latter reason Albuquerque is entitled to
be known as the metropolis of the terri
tory and will be the chiefcity Of the state.
Santa Fe is pretentiously urging its
claims to that distinction, procedure
not warranted by its commercial import
ance or Its population"
As usual, the Democrat Is mistaken.
The distinction OF being "the metropolis
is one thing that Santa Fe has never laid
any sort of claim to. 1t has no mill ditch,
nor couple of broken banks, nor any
slkaii water, nor any idle machine shops,
nor any busted real eatate booms, nor
any Albright, hence Santa Fe feels that it
has no SORT of justification in setting up
any claim to being ''the metropolis"
This distinction, with all its necessary ad-
iuncts, such as those enumerated above,
belongs only to the Democrats home.

PRESS COMMENTS.
A POpulist View.

The people Of New Mexico have the
utmost confidence in their present dele
gate, Hon. Antonio Joseph, and that he
will labor INCREASINGLY for the passage Of
the enabling act by the senate admitting
this territory into the Union; and no
doubt the people of Arizona have the
same confidence in their delegate that we
have. The people of New Mexico and
Arizona we'll know that these two terri
tories never will be admitted into the
Union by Republican congress; hence
our only chance is in the present short
session, and our delegates should make
Herculean efforts to have both enabling
acts passed. Otherwise We will have to
wait two years longer; 1895, when Demec-
racy will again unfurl its banner to the
breeze.-Eddy Independent.

An Amendment Suggested.


The law relative to the issuance of at
techments in this territory should be
radically amended. At present attach
ments can only be issued BY an order
from the Judge of the district court, or
soma member of the supreme court. In
many instances, the delay occasioned is
practically denial of justice. Suppose
q case in Lincoln or Chavez county
should arise where an attachment is nec-
essary, and the district judge should be
holding court at Socorrc, or be sitting
with the justices of the supreme court
at Santa Fe, the necessary delay In secur
ing an order for the attachment makes
the proceeding farce and is practically
a denial of justice. We recommend, first,
q change in the law relative to the quail
tications of probate judges, and second,
a change in the law authorizing probate
judges, on proper affidavit, to issue the
order for an attachment. Have the at
tachmsnt, affidavit and order, together
with the declaration, filed in the probate
clerks office; allow him to issue the pro-
cess and certify the same, together with
all the apers, to the district clerks Office.
