She was very pretty and very well
dressed. When she boarded the train
at 14th street she began to make in
quiries of the guard. A gray-haired
old gentleman on the opposite side Of
the car courteously begged leave to
tell her where to go. A young man
next to him begged his leave to differ
and to suggest that the lady had better
follow another route. A laboring man
corrected him and there was lively
squabble by the time the train reached
Sth street. The lady had blushed and
begged pardon through it all, but the
men had each contended that his was
the only proper method of reaching the
point. The train rolled out of Sth
street and the old gentleman re-
marked pompously, with wave of his
hand:

And at his sudden pause all the men
turned to look and found that the lady

PENGUIN BABIES QUEER.
They Cause Their Parents No End Of
Trouble.

Trouble.
From Young Idea: You will notice
that the penguin baby is very fat and
looks as though he might be extremely
good for eating, but il you could see
father and mother penguin Just now
you would find them uncommonly thin.
The care of the baby has so worn upon
their minds and the trouble of finding
enough fish for three to eat. that all
superfuous flesh for the time has van
ished- Baby penguin has a curious
nest. The mother tucks the egg away
softly and safely among her warm
feathers and even moves slowly and
with great gravity over the cliffs carry
Ing the egg, while father penguin goes
nshing. Mother penguin looks as fat
during this time as the baby does now,
put when the egg is Matched she goes
nshing, too, and soon grows as thin as
rather penguin himself. You notice the
funny little wings just beginning to
start on babys shoulders. Well, neither
and father penguin have longer ones,
but they are still more like fins than
"AAeo. ANSdiis oil Lie ttkut Is spent III
the water and fms are more useful to
them than wings; when on land these
little half wings are used as legs, and
the birds are often mistaken for quad
rupeds as they run over the ground.
They do not seem to be troubled with
insomnia. When asleep they can be
kicked several feet and never even
wake up. There is variety called the
Jackass penguin, from its habit OF
throwing back its head and making a
loud, strange noise that sounds like
the braying of that animal. The king
penguins have regular towns, where
every inch of ground is measured on
In squares for nests. The young birds
are arranged in a certain locality. the
Noting birds in another, and the clean
birds quite apart from all these. So
strictly are they all divided that il a
moulting bird should accidentally stray
near the clean birds it would be in
stantly put out. In the Falkland is
lands and in Patagonia these birds
abound. They are also very numerous
in certain islands of the southern Pa
cific ocean. On some of them 10000 or
10000 are constantly landing or going
to sea.

While we admire the philosophical
spirit that animates our esteemed Ducal
city Democratic contemporary in at.
empting to make the best of bad mess,
we can not refrain from expressing a
doubt whether there is any basis for even
the wee morsel of comfort it extracts
from the situation. We are unable to
see how "a good round tax on foreign
lead ores" would promote the mining in
dustry of the Rocky mountains. On the
contrary, Judging from the practical work
ings of the Mckinley tariff on lead ores,
we believe that such tariff now would
80 enhance the cost of smelling in this
country, which is largely dependent upon
the wet ores of Mexico for fuxing pur-
poses, as to complete the ruin of the
mining industry in the United States.
Prior to the recent election, we con-
tended in perfect good faith that the Nc
Kinley tariff on lead ores immensely
stimulated the mining and smelling in
dustries in the republic of Mexico to the
great disadvantage of those kindred in
dustries in this country. We believed
that then, and further investigation has
simply served to strengthen our ante
election opinion.

REVISED VOTE FOR PRESIDENT.

Chicago Record: With the exception of
the electoral vote of Wyoming, which is
still in doubt, the result of the presiden-
tial election of November seems to be
definitely settled. Kentucky gives II
votes to Mckinley and l vote to Bryan,
the elector on the Democratic ticket who
got the highest number of votes having
received few more than the elector on
the Mckinley ticket who stood the low
est in the poll. Delaware's three votes
90 to Mckinley Notwithstanding the err
ror in the ballot by which one elector ap-
peared both as James Shaw and James
Shaw, ST. In the following table Wyom-
ing's votes are given to Bryan, who
seems to have the best claim on them at
present:

EFFECT OF A TARIFF ON LEAD ORES.

After speaking of the bright outlook
of the gold mining industry in New Mex
leo, the Albuquerque Democrat editorial
ly says:
1--WE have also scores and hundreds of
silver.lead properties which became un-
profitable with the depreciation of silver,
but which will yield good working
profit on their lead if the Mckinley ad-
ministration carries out it's promise to
put big tariff on lead ores. We can not
quite appreciate the wisdom or beauty
of policy which forces down the price
of a valuable metal which the world has
to buy from us, and forces up the price
OF a cheap metal which we can buy from
the world--but fortunately We are so sit
uated that we can take advantage of the
policy without stopping to discuss it's
wisdom or its folly, and II Mr.. Mckinley
and his congress will put good round
tar on foreign lead ores, We can manage
to make fair prodts In lead mining and
lot the silver mines remain closed"

THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 10.
GOVERNOR THORNTON'S REPORT.

Gov. Thornton's third annual report to
the secretary of the interior, an epitome
of which was printed in these columns
yesterday, is most valuable contribu-
ton to the literature of New Mexico. 1t
presents clear, candid and comprehen-
sive statement of the condition and needs
of this territory that merits the prompt
and thoughtful attention of congress to
the end that the just legislation so long
sought by our people may no longer be
withheld. We are especially impressed
by the governors earnest and timely
recommendation that congress provide
adequate means whereby the minerals on
confirmed land grants, expressly re-
served to the United States in accordance
with the intention of the governments
originally making the grants, may be
thrown open to prospectors and miners
without liability for trespass on the
sacred surface grounds. This reasonable
relief has long been urgently petitioned
for, but, through the Vaccinations of the
unconsoionable land grant manipula-
tors it has so far been denied. This dog
in-themanger policy not only works
serious hardship upon the people of
New Mexico, but it is depriving the gov
ernment of the handsome revenues that
it would annually derive from the sale OF
the minerals on confirmed grants. Surely
congress ought to give prompt heed to
Gov. Thornton's conservative recon-
mendations in the premises.
