In the department of Castaneras in San
Salvador there has been no rain for nearly
a year and the people were brought to such
pass that they were actually dying or
thirst, to say nothing of the total destruc-
tion Of all crops and other agricultural In
dustries Ell Pueblo Catolico of San Saliva
dor prints a decree promulgated by the al
cade of the principal town in that depart
ment. 1t is as follows:
considering that the Supreme Creator
has not behaved well In this province, as In
the whole of last year only one shower of
rain fell; that in this summer, notwithstnnd-
Ing all the professions, prayers and praises,
1t has not rained at all, and consequently
the crops Of Castaneras, on which depend
the prosperity of the whole department, are
entirely ruined, 1t is decreed:
"Article I.-If within the period of eight
days of date of this decree rain does not
fall abundantly, no one will go to mass or
say prayers.
Article II.-If the drought continues eight
days more the churches and chapels shall be
burned, and missals rosaries and other OBJ
jects of devotion will be destroyed.
"Article III.-If. finally, in a third period
Of eight days, 1t shall not rain, all the
priests, friars, nuns and saints, male and
female, will be beheaded. And, for the
present, permission Is given for the commits

The most remarkable feature of this af-
fair Is the fact that four days after the de.
cree was promulgated the heaviest rainfall
known for years was precipitated on the
burning community.

A Street Euoounter.

A woman was walking up Wood ward
avenue when some one passed her
who attracted her attention, and she
turned partly around to look behind
her, still pursuing her way. At the
same time q man was coming down
the avenue, studying the signs as he
walked hurriedly along. Tho result
was q collision.
"Look where you are going" snap
ped the woman.

WAS TAKEN FOR A BURGLAR.

The Fix of . Man who Used an Old
Latoh-key to Look Up Friend.
The bestowal Of q latch-key is .
sacred trust not always appreciated by
tenants. It is the commonest thing
with his door key, thus retaining to
himself the power to enter . former
dwelling at any hour Of tho day or
night he pleases. OF course very few
tenants hold onto their keys with any
such possibility in view, but for the
safety Of herself and the future tenants
the landlady should be more particu-
lar than she averages at present in
redecming the means Of entry to her
household.
A couple ofnights ago, says the New
York Herald, young man arrived
from the West about IL p. m. and
promptly betook himself to look up an
old friend, whose room his own had
adjoined in q house on Forty-eighth
street. Tho house was closed up for
the night, 80 the young man took out
his erstwhile latohkey, and letting
himself in, mounted to his chum's
room. He was out, the gas was low
cred, and without waiting to turn It up
the traveller stretched himself out on
the sofa to wait, and in doing 80 fell
asleep. When he awoke 1t was to find
himself face to face with the basilisk
stare Of strange man, and with r0-
volver. The room had changed ten
ants, that was pretty plain, but II
wasn't equally plain how he was to
make clear that he was neither q
burglar nor an assassin.
''f you'll lay down that thing" he
said. after hurried explanation to
the man with the revolver, "I'n call
up tho landlsdy and prove my case. :"
With man and revolver in pursuit
he did find the landlady's door, only
to be confronted by q strange woman,
who immediately went into Mysteries.
Then every other woman in the house
raised her voice in Mysteries, and
more men with revolvers gathered in
the passageways, until things began
to look pretty blue for the young man.
At Last the final man, armed to the
teeth, Joined the boarders, and as he
did so tho poor excited traveller gave
cry of relief.

There" shouted the besieged man,
flinging the key at the scantily robed
landlady. '.there's the key of this

"If the top of the ear lies close to

that owns that kind OF ear may be
counted on as being eminently proper
and as harmless as q lamb. But IL tho
top starts away from the head at q

the back ridge of the ear-well, that
young man had better be kept at q

only one way to cure Deafness and that Is

caused by an infamed condition of the

A water Works Fight.

Leadville, Colo, Jan. 2G-The Lead
Vile Water Company early this morn
ing sued out an injunction in the dis
trict court to restrain the city from
tearing out water boxes leading from
the Ell Paso mine to the city reservoir.
This action was the direct result of a
secret meeting of the city council at
which it was determined to take the
reservoir matter into its own hands.
The city. it seems, claims this water is
not healthful that runs from the Ell
Paso. On the other hand, Mr.. Priddy
of the water company claims that the
water is perfectly pure. The company
was granted the injunction. This af-
ternoon the city got out a counter in
junction against the water company
restraining that company temporarily
from allowing the water from the Ell
PasO to run into their reservoir.

A REAL ESTATE OWNERS VIEW
He Objects to the Proposition to Re-
duce Bunk Taxes

Editor Morning News: I see that our
city administration want to bless US poor
property owners with an amendment to
the constitution; that is, give them the
right to tax different property at differ
ent rates. l suppose their desire is to tax
real about, as formerly, 2lA or per cent
per annum, and personal about p of
per cent. We all who have been here for
years. have had a taste of it, and do not
desire to go back to the old system. 1t
is like always, the rich who have got
their property in bank stocks or mer-
chandise, want to pay as little as posi-
bic, and throw it all off on the man of
small means, who cannot remove his own
nor sell out at fair valuation on short
notice. They tell US if their taxes are re-
duced, money will be cheaper, but 1t Is
not that-they see the Meme Tekel OF
lower rates of interest, in legible writing
ON the wall, as outside capital seeks IN
vestment and they know they will have
to reduce the rate, because none of MS
think that they would be charitable
enough to reduce the rates of interest un-
less they are compelled to DO So know
a good many merchants who discount
their bills receivable in New York, II
they can save anything, and 1t IS quite
natural for any of US to do so.
Personal property in this city does not
bear one-Quarter of the taxes of real now,
because peoples consciences widen as
they give in their property Tor taxation
The real estate man is not in that posi-
ton, he cannot conceal any of his prop
erty. and especially small real estate is
taxed on all IL is worth and some above it,
/, for instance, pay 13 per cent. on the
gross income of my estate, and know
good many of my fellow-citizens who pay
as high as 20 per cent.
l think it would be a good idea for The
real estate owners 10 send petition TO
the legislature of the state of Georgia
imploring them to defeat this bill. Hop
