NAUGHTY, BUT ORIGINAL.

Baby Who Taught His Papa Lesson in
Forbearanoe.
He is charming little fellow of 4,
pretty in his ways, good to look at, but as
naughty as they are made.
He sat on the bottom step, kicking his
fat little legs and refusing utterly to obey
his father, who had told him to go up
stairs several times in increasing degrees
of severity.
After few minutes of this clashing of
wills his exasperated young parent picked
him up somewhat suddenly, carried him
up and set him down very firmly on a
chair In his room, went out and shut the
door.
Silence reigned. Not sound from him
for at least half an hour. Then the door
was opened and sweet little voice called
out:
Father have you got over your tan
trum yet? for L should like to come
down."

Emma steigmann Applies. TO General

Mrs. Emma Steigmann, the seven
months welded wife of Gardener Steig-
mann, who is in the employ of Mayor
Sutro, called at the Humane Society rooms
yesterday and in tears begged General
McComb to have her husband arrested.
They live at 1857 Folsom street. Mrs.
Steigmann is a good BLOCKING young woman
and although confessing they have been
married but little over half year, de-
clares her husband treats her cruelty. She
says she loved her husband and had no
idea of the side of his character that has
since been revealed. Only a few weeks
after their marriage he forced her to give
him $40 of her savings by choking and
threatening her. Since then he learned
she had $40 and compelled her in the same
way to give it up. She says she COM

In hunters lore there is an idea that the
jackal is the lions provider; that he To-
Gates the game and takes the lion to it.
This superstition has no more foundation
than is found in the fact that after a lion
has slain his quarry the jackals always
attend and wait on the conclusion of the
repast, in order to pick up the Ieavings.

But as general rule if you want to get

GOV. THORNTON RETURNS
The Executive Talks of Affairs at the
East-Suhjects of Interest to
New Mexico People.

Gov. Thornton has returned from the
east, and resumed his official duties this
morning. While absent he visited Chi
cago, Detroit, Washington and New York.
Everywhere he met people making earn
est inquiries about New Mexico, parti-
cularly as regards irrigation farming, fruit
growing etc. Mining matters also elicit
much interest, gold, copper and lead pro-
perties being most sought after. As to
silver the governor said the first sub ject
touched upon in conversation, whether
political, social or of business nature,
invariably brought up the financial pro.
blem. There is but one sentiment among
business men at the east, north of Mem
phis, and that is gold only. The remark
able growth of the double standard prin-
ciple in the south and west has put the
Wall street cohorts and their followers
con their metal" as it were, and the gov
ernor thinks it will take earnest and
united work among bimetallists to win a
victory next year.
Gen sral business was found to be i'm
proving everywhere. The manufactur-
ing industries are particularly prosper
ous, and iron, wool, copper and cotton
bid fair to 60 higher under this activity
AS to statehood the governor says the
congress which assemblies in December
will in all probability pass an enabling
act, so that New Mexico can vote on a
state constitution and elect state officers
at the next regular election one year from
November. Concerning Santa FEES mill
tary establishment he found matters in
none too satisfactory shape. At Wash
ington there is disposition to await
Gen. Schofeld's return aud abide by his
decision IN the premises. Notwithstan nd
ing reports to the contrary, it is believed
that Gen. Schoield is most friendly to
the establishment of large post here,
though he does not consider 1t wise to
have Fort Marcy in its present unfit
shape reoccupied at once, preferring to
await the action of congress on the pend
ing bill for the larger post.
Gov. Thornton is heartily glad to got
back to New Mexico's balmy air, and says
he saw while absent no fields or pastures
that look more thrifty than those along
the road south of Ration. He spent yes
terday and day before at Las Vegas, and
characterlzes the Masonic entertainment
there as the most magnificent event of
the kind ever given in New Mexico, 495
guests having been present at the ban
quet.

ouired, in some field of industry, to en-
able them to live we'll and honestly after
wards? To attain such results and at
the same time make the employment
profitable, should be our aim, and this
seems to me no difficult task, provided
the legislature will give us helping
hand"
In conclusion we reprint the following
from the New MEXICAN of Feb. 81, last:
"The special committee appointed to
visit this Santa Fe territorial institutions
made report exceedingly compliment
airy to the management of the peniten-
tiary. 1t shows that the ISL oonvicts
there confined are under admirable treat
ment and dicipline. The report states
shat the per capita and net cost of sub
sistence for the last two years have been
1859 cents for 1898 and 1852 cts for 1894.
"The actual cost Of maintenance, in
Guiding subsistence, clothing and all
other expenses, after giving the convicts
small credit for the enormous amount
of labor done and improvements made,
amounted in 1893 to SAG cents while in
1894 the convicts earned 7O6 cents per
capita over and above the cost of main
tanning the prison." The report calls at
tention to the fact that during the past
two years there have been accomplished
the following Improvements without a
cent of cost to the territory:
The erection of the penitentiary wall,
requiring 2,505,l42 bricks, 1852 perches
of rock and nearly 10000 bushels Of lime ;
the roofing and interior furnishing of
the hospital building; the renovating and
plastering of the cell house; the erection
of model pig pen; the erection of work
shops, stables and store-rooms; the sink
