In every way possible the little inmates
are made to forget their loneliness. The
arrangements for their entertainment and
amusement are even more elaborate than
those for their instruction. The boys are
drilled Ia battaions and GO through all
of the military eVolutions. They are also
instructed in all branches OF gymnastics
and field athletics. and besides have an
immense swimming tank in which they
give exhibitions of aquatic games. The
girls have musical drills and are taught
needlework, household economy, cookery
and dressmaking. The studies range to
higher grade than in ordinary schools.
All the boys are given some useful trade.

ING AsyIum For Babes.

The Asylum For Babes.
Occasionally one reads in the newspa-
pers of a finely dressed babe being found
in some fashionable locality, and perhaps
a delicate bit of romance is weaved about
the yOunsSter. AS a matter of cold fact
an infant covered with lace and fine linen
is not picked up by the police once in
three years. II an unfortunate mother
has the sentiment and money to clothe
her babe i'll fine raiment she will take adj
vantage of one of the many avenues open
for its adoption by some family which will
rear il carefully. Such q mother is not
city. In four years of reportorial service
at police headquarters, where all waits
are brought, the writer never saw, among
The hundreds of infants, one that was
even fairly well dressed. All of them bore
the stamp - poverty, both in their cloth
ing and Dipched features. Mauon TRAY
srse, who IS the first to receive all the
babes from the policemen, has not yet
seen an extensively dressed infant under
her official care.
Their First Introduction.
When a policeman brings q babe to
headquarters every stltch on the young
Ster Is carefully searched for any cleW TO
its identity or name. This search gener-
ally meets with failure. Then the babe is
fed and washed. All babies brought to
headquarters are aOnormally hungry and
invariably in need Of d bath. They are
held there d few days in the hope that
the parents may call for thelG. Like the
search of the clothing this nope is inva-
riably a vain one.
After the lapse of few days the babe
becomes an official ward of the city, and
the matToD beStowS 4 name upon the
yo' .ngster, usually a plain matter of-fact
one. If a girl baby has light yellow hair
1t may be called Helen Gold, or if it has
brown eyes it may grow up as Helen
Brown. The ncdtrOn has not much time
to think up names, and the first one that
occurs TO her is utilized.
The space at headquarters for the chill
dren is limited, as lost youngsters are
constantly being brought in from all
parts OF the city, to be held until half
crazed parents rush IN to claim them,
seconds later with sound thrashings for
straying away. Some of the unclaimed
babes, when there is no room in any So
ciety institution, are turned over to the
superintendent of the Charities and Cor

PLAN Of A PHlLANTHR0PIST.

Mr.. Mark W. Harrington, chief of the
weather bureau of the department of
agriculture, has recently issued circular
of deep and timely interest touching the
important subj ject OF sanitary climatol-
ogy. Recognizing the large influence of
climate on health and disease, Mr.. Har-
rington announces that his bureau has
undertaken the systematic investigation
of the subject, and to this end earnestly
invites the cooperation of boards of
health, sanitary associations and socie-
ties, physicians and others who may feel
an interest in the work, in collecting and
forwarding to the bureau the vital statis-
tics of their localities. Blanks for the
purpose will be furnished to all who will
act as reporters, and the publications of
the bureau bearing upon climatology and
it's relations to health will be mailed free
to all who assist in the work.
The plan of Mr.. Harrington is that OF
a wise and broad-minded philanthropist.
If carried out according tc promise it
can not help resulting in great good to
the human family. 1t especially concerns
New Mexico, wider and more scientific
knowledge Of whose peerless climate,
particularly for the cure of pulmonary
diseases, is alone necessary to it's recog-
milton as the worlds sanitariun. The
health authorities and physicians of this
territory should not neglect this golden
opportunity, not only to benefit the
future ''sunshine state," but thousands of
suffering invalids throughout the land.
Mr.. Harrington should not have to ask
twice for information respecting the
climate of this favored region.
In this connection it is worthy of note
that meritorious measure, creating a
territorial crop and Chronological bureau,
has just passed the New Mexico leg
islature. While the primary object of
this bill is systematically to acquire and
spread information showing the superior
Santa Fe daily New Mexican., 1895-02-18

when those securities had eighteen years
to run. 1t did not prevent President
Harrison from obtaining an extension of
$25,000,O00 bonds at 2 per cent, an
achievement which broke the record in
the negotiation of our government loans.
Finally, it did not prevent President
Cleveland himself from placing $5O,OOO,-
900 ten-year bonds on a. 3 per cent basis
early in 1894, and $50,O0O0O0 more, as
noted above, on 21s per cent basis only
three months ago. With these facts in
view, it is impossible to accept the coin
payment plea as palliating the discredit-
able transaction.
The privilege reserved to the govern
ment in the present transaction to sub
stitute at par value ten days bonds pay
able in gold and bearing only per cent
interest does not count in mitigation of
the 34 per cent arrangement Gold
bonds can not be issued without express
authority from congress, and Washington
opinion is practically unanimous in hold
ing that such authority will not be given.
Thus the bargain that the president has
made binds the government to pay 3A
per cert per annum for thirty years, un-
less very improbable contingency inter-
venes to change the terms. 1t is bitter
humiliation to Americans that, while
British consols are selling on 2R per
cent basis, our national credit should suf
fer this shameful degradation to a 34 per
cent basis.
We protest that the valuation of our
credit involved by the presidents ar
rangement is not true one. If the bonds
had been sold in open competition they
would questionably have brought a
much better figure. But here there was,
as far as is known, no competition. The
president appears to have put himself
into the hands of syndicate of foreign
and native bankers, and his chief aim in
the negotiation would seem to have been
to make the difference between gold bonds
and coin bonds as large as possible, with
the view of giving an impressive object
lesson in congress. The lesson is obvious
ly cooked up, and the cooking has been
done at the expense of American tax
payers.--Boston Herald.
Santa Fe daily New Mexican., 1895-02-18
An InexcusabIe Transac ttOn.

The arrangement for the sale of some
$62, 100000 per cent bonds concluded
by the president, as announced in the mes
sage which he sent to congress yesterday,
would be incredible if it had not been
made. The bonds are to run for thirty
years, and are sold at premium so low
that the rate of interest realized upon
them is left at the strangely high figure
Of 3A per cent. From every point of
view the transaction is inexcusable. 1t
was only some ten weeks ago that the
government sold in open competition
$5O,0O0,0O0 ten-year 5 per cent bonds at a
premium which brought the rate of inter
est down to 27s per cent.
Putting aside the difference in the dura-
tion of the two classes of bonds-and we
hardly need say that the longer the life of
the bond the lower the interest it should
command-the two transactions, taken
together, show deterioration of no less
than seven-eights of per cent per an
nun in the borrowing power of the Unit
ed States. What has happened since
November "a to depreciate our credit at
this fearful rate? One might really think
that we were threatened with foreign
war, or even that the dark cloud of new
rebellion had arisen on our national
horizon.
The defenders of the negotiation, if it
find any, may allege that the bonds had
to be sold at very low rate because
they are payable in ooin, but the plea
does not avail in the least to break the
force of the damaging comparison we
have made. For the $50,O0O,000 bonds
that were placed last November are also
payable in coin, as, indeed, are all the
bonds issued unGer the refunding act of
1870. This condition of coin payments
did not prevent Judge Folger, when he
was secretary of the treasury, in 1882,
from obtaining the continuation of some
$30O,000,O0O bonds at 3 per cent. 1t did
not prevent the 4 per cents of 1907 from
selling at 29s per cent premium in 1889,

PRESS COMMENTS.
The COchiti Decision.

The dismissal of the appeal from the
land grant court in the case involving
land covered by the Cochiti mining dis
trict Is an important victory for the
miners of that camp. 1t is possible that
an attem pit will be made to secure another
appeal, but it is doubtful if it would sue
ceed. 1t is to be hoped that soon the
title to all mineral land in the Cochiti
district will be settled permanently in
favor of the miners, for that would stimu-
late the development of the district, which
is one of much promise. The develop
ment of great mining camp in that
locality would be of wonderful benefit to
New Mexico, for it would bring in both
capital and immigration, both of which

Land Reclaimed by Irrigation.
1t is claimed that 10000 acres in the
Pecos valley have been brought under ir-
rigation. The Pecos river has been
damned in three places-one in Texas,
and at two points in New Mexico-from
which four irrigating canals have been
made. In New Mexico canal has been
built from Roswell south paralleling the
Pecos, connecting the waters of the Hon
do river with that of the Penasco river
just before the streams empty into the
Pecos. Between Pecos City and Roswell
along the railroad many towns have
sprung up where irrigation in the rich
valleys is being engaged in by thousands
of people. Immense storage reservoirs
have been constructed in this fertile val
ley, the capacity of one being 11,O00,0U0
cubic feet, and another 6O0,0O0,000 cubic
feet. Hondo reservoir No. is under con-
struction; capacity, 1,6Oo,0oo,ooo cubic

will contain 2OO,OOO,0OO cubic feet. The

PoUeHKEEPsIE, N. Y, Sept. a. The
facts about a murderous assaults com
mitted on Friday last by Mrs. Lizzie Halli-
day, the Monticello murderess, on Miss
Kate Ward, an attendant at the Matter
wan State Asylum for Insane Criminals,
where Mrs. Halliday is confined, have just
leaked out. Mrs, Halliday was assisted in
her assault on the attendant by Jane Shan
non, another convict patient, who was
committed to the asylum from st. Law
renee county about three years ago, and
who is considered the most dangerous Of
the female patients in the institution. The
assault was the result of grudge which
Mrs. Halliday had held against the atten-
dant.
Miss Ward went into the bath room and
was seized by the murderess and thrown
to the floor. Mrs Shannon then jumped
on Miss Wards prostrate form, while Mrs.
Halliday crammed a towel into Miss
Wards mouth. Then the two crazy and
revengeful women kicked and pounded
the attendant, Mrs. Halliday tearing her
hair and scratching her face with her
finger nails. The attendant when help
reached her, was unconscious, and it was
thought that she would die She rallied,
however, on Saturday, and though bruised
quite badly was able to resume her duties
today. Mrs. Halliday and Mrs. shannon
have been placed in solitary confinement.
