Hillsboro,N NJ, Sept 3O.-Your
correspondent learns to-day that
Hon. Willard s. Hopewell, of this
town, has been designated by the
executive committee Of the nation
al free coinage democratic move
ment as the national committee
man from New Mexico.
Information of Mr.. Hopewell's
selection for this responsible duty
came to hand today in the shape
of a formal letter from the head
quarters Of the executive commit
tee at Memphis, Tenn, where
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, Gov.
Stone, of Missouri, and other
members of this democratic move
ment have recently been in con-
ference. The announcement was
a complete surprise to Mr.. Hope
we'll, but his friends are very jub-
liant over his selection and take it
as an indication that the demo-
Gratis who are organizing for the
advancement of the free coinage
proposition throughout the east
are in touch with, and mean to
rely on, the very best element of
the party in all the states and ter
ritories.
Mt Hopewell is being gener-
ally congratulated today. His APP
pointment will undoubtedly 6e ap-
proved by every sincere well-wisher
of free coinage in New Mexico-

In the contest cases, Judge
Bantz handed down a decision
this morning overruling oil the
motions for the contestees to sup
press testimony, except that which
objects TO the considering of the
testimony Of witnesses whom the
master failed to identify. This
deprives Mr.. Raymond and other
contestants Of the benefit of the
testimony Of some forty witnesses,
affecting some thirty-fve votes.
On the other hand, the contestants
will move the court under this
discussion to suppress ell the ses-
timony taken before the master on
behalf Of Ascarate and other con-
t~estees. AS none of this testimony
was read over to the witnesses, Il
will, under Judge Bantz' decision,
be suppressed. The contestees
will in the end be largely the
gamers. In any event, Mr.. Ray
mOnd, by the testimony now be-
fore the court, is elected by a
large majority. The case will
come up before Judge Bantz in
Silver City on the 18th of Octo-
ber.-Rio Grande Republican.

A great many merchants cut
down their advertising in the sum-
mer. Some even stop it altogether.
In everyday life, when "a thing
is hard to do, it only calls forth
greater effort If the laborer
can't move the stone, he gets a
crowbar and a block of wood.
He makes a lever-and the stone
moves. If the crowbar isn't long
enough he gets something longer.
He doesn't give up, because the
stone has got to be moved.
Same way in business. Trade
is a stone. The funny thing is
that the lighter it gets, the harder
it is to move. It can be moved,
though. You may have to have
the lever lightened. Certainly
you ought not to shorten it. The
best business lever is advertis-
ing-newspaper advertising is the
longest lever and the quickest TO
move trade.
Dull times are the times to put
forth the greast effort and the
most money. People don't usual
ly ask for what they have already.
Advertising is merely asking for
trade. When the store is full
every day cut down your space.
Don't expect that you will get a
big trade in dull times, but keep
count, and you'll find that the adj
vertising was profitable. Profit
able right at the time and enor-
mOusly profitable after a while.
The very fact that only q few mer-
chants are wise enough to adver-
tise in dull seasons makes It all che
more profitable for those who do.

L%EGISLATIYE

Austin, Tex, Oct 2-There
will be no prize fight at Dallas
October 3tlSbetween Corbett and
Fitzsimmons. This fact was set
tied this afternoon by the Texas
Legislature ip exactly three hours.
The two committees, one in che
senate, and the other in the house,
gave an audience to Dallas attor-
neys all morning to ascertain
their objections and entertain
protests against the passage OF
the law. After hearing the gen.
tlemen until noon the two CON-
mittees adjourned.
This afternoon when the two
houses met at three o'clock both
committees were ready to report,
and in the senate the bill was
promptly considered.
Senator Dean opposed the bill
and Senator Lasker spoke in its
favor, who were the only two gen.
tlemen who spoke ON the bill, the
balance satisfying themselves by
voting. The vote on the fnsI
passage of the bill was q ayes
and l no. Dean being the mega
tive voter.
The bill was Immediately sent
over to the house and at 4 O'Clock
that body began discussing it,
substituting the senate bill fol
the house bill.
After several gentlemen had
spoken on the bill and the emer-
gency feature, pro and con, a final
vote was reached at 6 o'clock pre-
cisely and the bill passed the
house by a vote Of ITO to s.
Thus within three hours die
the Texas Legislature forever put
an end to prize fighting In Texas
1t was almost a certainty this
morning that the populists would
be called over to the Dallas side
of the question, but a cog was
slipped and on the vote this even.
ing they voted with the admins
tration forces which cinched the
matter.
Governor Culberson's friends
consider it a great victory for him
and lost no opportunity tonight to
congratulate him on one Of the
hottest, and it might be safely
termed, one of the bitterest, as
also the shortest political fights
ever brought up in the Lone Star
state on one single man.

plays sad tricks on our magma
tion; robs as Of our reason for the
time. We cannot see clearly; ell
outward objects are transformed I;
may fancy the woman who ap-
peals TO us so mysteriously to be
beautiful, though she DO plainness
itself. A glamour is on our eyes,
a bewitchment in our brain. In q
similar way we may regard women
in general Es fair, as attractive, as
pretty, our liking for them being
diluted into sorto vague sexual
admiration. We instinctively feel
drawn to them-lt is natures
law-and we do not know how to
define the drawing or lie source.
30 we ascribe it TO their prettiness,
when prettiness often is not at
all the cause, nor even the sign
thereof.
Good looks certainly do not repel
us; on the contrary they invite us
because we believe they indicate
divers excellences held In reserve.
They may not so indicate, how
ever; indeed they rarely do. But
whether they do or not is of small
consequence to the average man,
who, while he thinks that be Is
won by confines, color, contour,
is often won in spite of these.
But his thought and its constant
~utterance mislead him, and the
bulk of women also, 10 the con-
clusion that their appearance is
immeasurably more important
than their sctuality, and in a con-
nubial sense decides their fate.
The current idea remains that
women are usually accepted by
and acceptable to men because
they are attractive in looks, though
the very reverse is known to be
true. Philosophic bachelors often
marvel why so many women have
secured husbands, when they can
make no pretense to natural favor,
thus sustaining the prevalent the
DRY on the subject. If they were
themselves married, if they had
any understanding how myster-
iously and unexpectedly marriage
may be effected, they would mol
countenance the notion that the
color of a woman's eyes or the
shape of her nose had anything tc
do with it.
The sexes mate by agencies un-
known and enigmstic, even to the
mated. The chief cause that con.
tributes to union is a strange af.
inity; which no one comprehends,
which seems to have no source oil
being, to offer no opportunity for
conjecture. All the talk about
pretty women is meaningless and
a sham. That men are drawn tC
women, as women are to men, is
one Of the first things hat we all
learn from within. Old as time.
the fact is always fresh to every
generation. But that woman'G
particular appearance constitutes
any part of the phenomenon is ab.
surd. We like or dislike her in.
dependently of her looks. We

J. H. Crist came out in an elab-
crate communication in Saturdays
New Mexican, and acknowledged
the receipt of the $3.50 in question
and attempts to show that the
transaction between Convict Davis
aud himself was legitimate and
wholly consistent with his profess
sion. He says the $3.50 were his
fees for securing the commute
ton Of the sentence of Davis, and,
while he proves that he accom-
plished his purpose, by failing to
explain his methods or set forth
what he did to convince Governor
Thornton hat his client deserved
his mercy, he makes the matter
against the Governor still more
complicated.
We are, much against our will,
forced to admit that the whole
transaction becomes more Odious
every day. Mr.. Crist has set up
a defense for Governor Thornton,
which, in point of rhetoric, is
very fine, but in point of logic il
extremely remiss. Now, the
SOUTHWEST SENTINEL suggests
that Governor Thornton either
give to the public some tangible
excuse for his action in the Davis
matter or shut off, in the New
Mexican, the silly twaddle about
the case.
