New African BishOp.

Bishop j. c. Hartzell, the new Meth
odist Episcopal b shop of Africa, sailed
last week for the dark continent, and
expects TO begin his first missionary
work in that country early in the new
year. Before sailing for Africa he
will visit Stanley and other experts,
and will prepare himself for his mis-
sionary work by broad study of the
continent itself. He will be present at
the Liberian conference in Monrovia
on February ,, after which he will visit
the forty Liherian stations. He will
reach Congo in early a pril and organic
the Congo conference at kuihungOa,
25O miles inland from St. Paul de
Loanda in Angola. lie will then drive
further into the interior, and visit the
southeast coast on Inhambane bay.
The bishop will likewise make q
careful study of missionary work and
its results in South Africa. He will, il
his present plans do not mlscarry, max
a second visitation to all the missions
on the continent before returning home

tiOn and the necessities of the work as

Shooting up the Town.

y desperate but bluudering and I'M
successful attempt to plumber or burn
the town was made early this morning,
Just as the moon was going down two
masked men rode up to the power
house and with drawn pistols compelled
the engineer and electrician to cut off
the lights and not to turn them on for
half an hour, if he did not want to die.
The masked men then turned and gal
lUped up the street in the direction OF
the business portion of the city. The en-
gineer fastened across the street and
Informed the general superintendent
of the power house and he soon turned
the lights on again and called up the
police. a thorough search of the
town was then made, but the would-be
tOughs were gone. Great excitement
prevailed when the news was circulated
over town in the morning.
Petty thefts have been committed
for the past two weeks aud on two or
three occasions attempts have been
made to hold up citizens on the
streets. -Rockdale dispatch.

protection Insure to a larger degree to
the rich than to the poor. The cutting
down of the police force would be
greater hardship On the merchants of
FL Paso and San Antonio streets than
it would to the inhabitants of MagOffin
addition. The abolition of the fire
department would weigh more severely
on the owners of the large buildings,
than it would on tHOse living in the
outskirts. The reduction in the grade
of the schools would directly most
affect, small owners of property, but
indirectly in the loss of reputation to
the town would fall heaviest on large
owners.
1t is the patriotic duty of all citizens
to assist in all possible ways the prompt
collection of taxes. Public sentiment
in frowning upon delinquents would be
of value. If it were generally consid-
cred in the community that the man
who delayed to pay his taxes, was a
poor citizen, he would be shamed into
better ways or leave the community.

She is sweet IS, with golden curls,

gether they own a coed bunch of cattle.
Miss Lula attends to the cattle. aud

New Engines.

The Mexican Central railway has
prepared specifications for mum Der of
10 wheel engines, with cylinders
20 by "A inches, driving wheels 90
inches in diamete" over tires equip
ped with Kcupp crucible steel tires.
The tender and truck wheels will be 80
inches in diameter with cast centres
and steel tires. The tender frames
will be of metal with capacity for
eight tons of coal and 1900 gallons of
water. The Player brake beams will
be used on the tender. The boilers
will be of the Belpaire pattern, 81 l +
inches in diameter at the smallest ring,
of IS inch steel for $50 pounds pres
sure, These engines will be equipped
with Westing house-American brakes,
Westinghouse train signals. Nathan
triple sight feed lubricators, Friedman
injectors, Richardson balance valves,
Crosby gauges and French springs.
The engines are to be built with stiff
cast iron plate on top of the frames
from working. This answers the same
purpose AS the usual plate back Of the
boiler. 1t has been found of great
service on heavy engines and has been
in use on the Mexican Central for the
past two years. In the present specifi
cations this plate is designated to be ,
inches thick and 3 feet 10 inches long,
and to be firmly bolted to the top of
the frames.

CHARACTER AND HYPNOTISM.
An individuals Strength Is Power Against



All Control.
There would be little indeed i'll hyp-
notism and the scientific world might
rightly ignore its Importance as a sub
iect of investigation if it were proved
to have nothing more in il than the
dominance of one will over another
or the power of so-called ''suggestiOn
to control human minds, says Harper's
Bazaar.
But, as with any other subject worth
invests eating, much more is revealed to
the student of hypnotism than that
which he at first sets out to discover.
No sooner, for instance, has he estab-
lished beyond question proofs of the
power of mind over mind and of ''sug-
gestion" in control. than he is forced to
recognize how little potency lies in
either when compared to that great
power of resistance to them which is
generated by an individuals own
strength Of character.
No hypnotism in the world, as a great
authority has shown, can make 4 real
y temperate person. when under hyp-
motto control, simulate or yield to
drunkenness; nor can 4 truly modest
person be induced to do that which
would, IN waxing hours, SAVIOR OF I'M
moGesty. The man with true dignity
of soul keeps his dignity intact, and one
of real kindness of nature shows no
glimmer of harsh feeling.
And thus, as can readily be seen, one
more proof from an unexpected source
nas been added to those already in our
possession going to show the value and
power of character, Of that which a
man inherently and intrinsically is,
rather than that which he appears to
be. 1t makes cut, too, even 4 harder
| case against Adam, who need never have
yielded to Eve but for q weakness in
himself.

PAY YOUR TAXES.

Considerable is being said of late
about the deplorable condition of
municipal finances, and many remedies
are being proposed, some practicable,
and others not, some selfish, and others
devised for doing the greatest good to
the greatest number. There is nothing
intricate about the system OF municipal
economy, but it is governed by the
same rules used by the house wife. To
maintain a good credit the family must
live within their income. If the income
is cut down, the expenses must come
down too.
In the city, the council has to main
tain certain departments, the fire, the
police, the executive, the schools, and
others, and in the county, the commits
sioners must care for the juries, the
paupers, the jail, the public buildings,
etc. To most people the problem I'M
folds itself in this way; each one OF
these departments demands q certain
amount Of money, making total
amount of so much, which must be
raised during the current year. The
consequence is that too often the ex-
penses are beyond the possible resour-
ces. There is another way of meeting
the difficulty, and the natural way in
which housewives act, and that is this:
the income for the year will probably
be a certain sum, out OF which the
various departments must be kept up,
each are necessary, but each cannot
be run so well or on so grand scale
as when the income was greater. and
so the yearly receipts are divided into
parts, of which definite amounts are
given to each department.; and the
departmental expenses are cut down
to meet its quota. When the husbands
wages are cut down, the wife does not
say, we are obliged to live and we can't
get along on less; but she says my last
winters dress will do me this coming
winter, and we can move into a house
costing less rent, and we will live on
cheaper grades of food.
But there is still another way of
reaching the trouble. The husband
can say, L will collect up my bills more
closely, or L will work over time and
thus increase my income. 1t is this
branch of the question we emphasize.
a city alderman stated TO US yesterday,
that the city had unpaid and overdue
S55, 900 of taxes, and that if the taxes
were promptly paid, there would be no
trouble in the city paying its bills
promptly, and that the aldermen were
getting exasperated at the stumbling
blocks placed in the way of tax col
lections. The city council has done
their duty diligently towards forcing
the collection of taxes. Have the
citizens of FL Paso done what they
could to assist them? Have we as
citizens paid our taxes as promptly as
we can? Has there been com bined
effort on the part of any to avoid pay
ing taxes, because the city's interest
charge of per cent was less than
money was worth, and that as bust
ness proposition they could afford to be /
delinquent, pay 6 per cent interest !
and attorneys fees, and still make !
money by the operation?

price of the shares had been lifted to
