During the garden scene Mephisto causes
flowers to bloom where before all was bar

flowers open, disclosing beautiful colored
points of electricity. In the church scene
a chime OF rich toned bells and a quartette
Of experienced singers are heard. The
Broken scene with its weird apparitions,
flashes Of lightning and avalanche OF fire
will be given with wonderful effect. AR.
rangements have been made to make this

music which includes many numbers from

Thomas d. Catron, whom the people OF
this Territory have most emphaticaliy rel
egated to the rear In his ambition to return
to congress, is In the city to-day, and It IL
said that he still has the idea In bis head to
attempt to seat himself as delegate to con-
gress, against the will Of the people. 1t
seems that bis ~well-known hoggish propen-
stiles blinds him to what would really hap
pen il he attempts to openly or seceretly
thwart the will and decisions of the hon
est voters OF New Mexico. 1t 10 said that
his plan In San Miguel county Is to contest
the validity of the union ballot, on the
ground that 1t was voted with H. b. Fer
gusson's name at the top, n this, he
claims, was not in any manner authorized
by the nominating convention Of the union
party.
Carefully read the following resolutions
Of that party In convention, and OF the
county central committee afterwards, and
you will see that Mr.. Catron has not the
slightest excuse for raising this question
The following resolution was introduced
by Felix Martinez in open convention:
Be 1t resolved by the Union party In
convention assembled that the present
central committee of the county OF San
Miguel is hereby elected and constituted
as the central committee for the Union
two ensuing years: the same was seconded
and carried by unanimous vote.
The following resolution was introduced
by Felix Martinez.
BE it resolved that this convention Ia
session assembl ID hereby authorizes the
central committee of the Union party for
the county of San Miguel with full plenary
! power to fill vacancies, substitute or en-
| dorse candidates and do all matters and
| things that this convention is authorized
| to do In Its vested powers as a de~liberative
| body. The same was seconded and carried
! by a unanimous vote Of the convention OF
the Union party.
At a meeting of the central committee Of
the Union party the following resolution
was introduced and passed.
WHEREAS the county convention Of the
union party in and for the county OF San
Miguel held at the court house of said
county on the 10th and 18th OF October, A.
d. 1896, authorized this committee with
plenary powers to act in its stead, In pur-
suance of said authority we hereby en-
dorse and substitute Harvey b. Ferguson
as the candidate for delegate to congress
Of the union party to be voted for at the
election to be held November 3rd, Ia San
Miguel county and Territory; and 1t was
also ordered that tickets be printed with
the name of 7. B. Catron.
1 hereby certify that the foregoing three
resolutions were duly fled together with
the union party ticket on the 31st day OF
October, A. D., 1896, in my Office.

any of the following symptoms may know
that she is on the road to that undesirable
state known as crankiness:
Too orderly habits.
Great fastidiousness In regard to food /.
A spirit of investigation in regard to
dust.
The conviction that reiteration is argu-
ment.
A constant suspicion that what the
servants say is not true.
Extreme irritation when people fail to
keep their appointments.
Promptness to attribute the worst pos
sible motives to every ones actions.
Exclusive devotion to any one school
of thought, literature or music.
Impatience when the trolley cars are
not in sight whenever she wants them.

came upon two travellers, evidently look

"Was he not blind in his right eye and
lame in a left leg? eyes" "Had
he not lost front tooth ?" eyes. "
"And was he not loaded with honey on
one side and wheat on the other ?' 'Yes,
and as you have seen him you can no doubt

camel" replied the dervish. ga pretty
story, when you have told all about him.
You have stolen the jewels that were part
of his freight" So they seized the poor
fellow, bound him, and carried him before
the Cadi, or Judge.
Things looked rather black for the der
wish. Happily, however, the Cadi was a
man of senee. and said, ''You must ex.
plain how you came to know SO much
about camel you insist you have never

shat there has been some ground for
suspicion, but I can find ample scope for
observation even in a desert. I knew
that l had crossed the track of strayed
camel, because saw no mark of human
footstep on the same route; l knew the
animal was blind in one eye because 1t
had cropped the heritage on one side only
of the path; perceived it was lame in
one leg from the faint impression that
particular foot had made on the sand; /
concluded it had lost tooth, because q
small tuft of heritage was left uninjured
in the center of each bite. Finally as to
the burden of the beast, the busy ants
informed me that it was corn on one side,
and the swarming flies that it was honey
on the other" No wonder the sensible

Senator Perkins, Dilemma,

A Washington gossiper tells how Sem
ator Perkins of California is in heap
of trouble, owing to certain rash prom
Uses that he once made. Fifteen or six
teen years ago he was elected governor
of California, and remarkably popu-
lar sort of governor he proved to be. So
popular, in fact, that bouncing baby
boys were called by his name in each
county. Governor Perkins heard of ev-
cry one of these incidents. The fond ia
theirs and mothers imagined the rich
young governor was generously giving
up hundreds of dollars in recognition of
all these compliments. But instead of
settling on the spot, Mr.. Perkins wrote
letters to every pair of prcud parents,
in which he said all manner Of nice
things, and ended with a flourish of
promises as follows: "When- George
Perkins Smith is grown, let me know,
and l will send him to college. - He
never imagined that he was going to be
a senator from California, with ambi-
tions for reelection, Is or 16 years la
ter. But there he is, and those letters
are coming home to roost. Already four
young men named George Perkins
Smith, Jones or something else have
put in their claims for a college educa-
tion at the expense of the former govern
or. ST expect there are 30 or 80 more
of them," says the senator, ''and I'll
have to honor their drafts, even if it
bankrupts me. +"
