Studying Ocean Waves.

According to DIR. G. Sehatt, who has
been making Il special study Of ocean
waves, their speed in a moderate breeze
is los miles per hour. Their size and
speed increase proportionately to the
velocity of the wind. In strong breeze
they increase to 80 feet in length, and
reach a speed of S6 feet per second In
heavy storms their length increases to
100 feet and the speed to y miles an
hour. DIR. Schatt does not think that
the maximum height Of the waves is
very great; his maximum Is just 81 feet
He believes that in great temPests-
waves of more than 10 feet are rare,
and that even those of 80 feet are ex-
eeptiOnal. In the ordinary trade
winds the height is five to six feet

FOR A DREAMS SAKE.

Time has come 10 sit and think,
Oh, my heart, and face the truth;
Fate gives us a cup 10 drink.
Somewhat bitter tits, In sooth
Yet, methinks that we will drain
Even the dre.s, nor show our pain
Time has come 10 ponder-yea
Time to think a long, long thought
In the arms Of yesterday
Lie our dreams that came 10 naught.
Yet, methinks. wen bow 10 fate.
Nor show that we are desOlatei
Time has come 10 close the book
Brief enough the tale ii told,

Yet, methinks, twas dear 10 us,
Even though IL ended thus
Time has come to keep a watch

From It's lips no sound we catch
All is said that's to be said.
Yet, methinks, that we will ache

THE QUEEN OF THE HOUSE
HOLD.

She rules with subtle art and skill
Exceliing statesmen far,
And meath her ehangeful humors still
Her subjects loyal are:
No heart rebels against her sway,
Her actions meet no blame;
ID all her moods from grave To gay
Her words attention claim.
Her tiny hands no sceptre hold,
No purple robe she wears,
Above her shining curls OF gold
No diadem she bears;
But yet to her in beauty bright
Not Dido famed and fair
Not yet that queen, Troy's bane and blight
Could ever once compare
She owns no castle and no lands,
No ship, no warlike aid;
Yet ne'er an emperor's commands
As hers were so obeyed
My little daughter, aged but four
Short years, reigns royalty
With youth and frown and laughter DER
Her mother and DER me.

Fl FOR BUFFALO.

Mayor F.. e. Olney and Charles H. Spor-
leder left, ON this mornings train, to at
tend the national session of the grand
lodge of the Ancient Order of United
Workmen, the former as a representative
of the city of East Las Vegas, and the lat
ter representing Diamond Lodge, A. O.
U. w., of this city. The session of the
grand lodge will be held at Buffalo, New
York, commencing June 10Th, and thu, i'm
portance Of the matter in charge of these
two representative, could not well be
greater. They bear a memorial to the
grand lodge, outlining the plan Of the pro-
posed national sanitarium Of the A. O. U.
W., which will be established In this city,
without doubt, but the magnitude of the
enterprise will depend upon the assistance
and moral backing received from the
grand lodge.
The proposed sanitarium already has che
approval of the officers OF the grand lodge,
and with the able representatives from
here, working in conjunction with d.. w.
D. Gentry, who will be on the ground, and
who has been constantly laboring in the
interest Of the project for over a year., but
little doubt can be entertained, but that
the proposition will receive a most liberal
support from the grand lodge, and the
national A.. o. U. W. sanitarium for cor
sumptives win be an accomplished reality.
Dr. Olney and MIR. Sporleder will prob
ably enjoy a trip to Niagara Falls, before
returning.

talked of from a strong standpoint of

at Paris, Texas, and 1t is known that
Mr.. Robinson is friendly to Galveston in

no Be SENTENCED. TOMORROW.
Three Murdsrsrs Now In jail to Hear Their
Pate at 10 a. M Tomorrow.

There are now three men Ia the county
Jail, In this city, who have had the verdict
OF guilty OF murder In the drst degree
passed upon them, and are waiting the
to appear before the court and
have the sentence OF death passed upon
them. Unless a new trial Is granted them,
which Is not probable, that Will.
come tomorrow morning at 10 O'Clock.
The names of the men are Jose Padilla,
OF Chapelle; Jose Chavez y Chavez, Las
Vegas, and Scipio Aguillar, Of Sapello.
rbe first OF these, Jose Padilla, would be
taken for anything but a red landed MUIR
derer. He is about sixty years Of age, has
a good face and we'll kept hair, which Is
cut a la John A. Logan. He is a miller,
and to the reporter, he resembled the fine
old honest miller of which there Is a ira
dition. Padilla shows signs Of consider
able hope In a new trial or in an appeal,
which will be taken should he not be
granted a new trial.
Jose Chavez y Chavez case is probably
watched with greater interest than the
other two, from the fact that he was an
old town policeman at the time when the
crime Of which he has been found gnilty,
was committed, and that he was a leading
member in the Vicente Silva gang. He
heard the verdict of guilty read without
the least sign of emotion and has since
maintained the same stolld manner, 10
which there can be detected no sigr
either of hope or despair.
There is always sadness when hope hal
fed. and the most touching case is that OF
Scipio Aguillar, though the crime fol
which he was convicted Is one of the most
terrible which has darkened the records OF
! the county. Aguillar has given up all
hope of saving himself from the gallows
and now spends most of his time in max
| ing his peace with his God, and reading
, His plan of redemption in His Holy Word
| Aguillar has requested his father to go tt
no more expense and save his own money
for his use in old age, and that he will
abide by the decision Of the court. His
father is said to be all honored and re-
spected citizen Of the community in which
be resides. No doubt quite a number q
citizens will be present in court when the
sentence is passed upon these three men

A large audience was present at the tent
on Grand avenue, last evening, and the IN
terest seemed to be great.
The elder took for his text, last night,
Rev. 14:9: "If any man worship the beast,
and his image, and receive his mark, the
same shall drink of the wine of the wrath
Of God" Some say the book of Revelation
is sealed and can not be understood, but in
the first chapter and third verse it says,
blessed is he that readeth, and they that
hear the words Of this prophecy, and keep
those things which are written therein;
for the time is at hand" There are three
special points in the text. First, "the
beast;" second, "his image;" third, 'his
mark" When will this message be giveny
Verse IA says: Sand l looked, and behold
a white cloud, and upon the cloud
sat like unto the son of man,
having on his head a golden crown and In
his hand a sharp SICKLE" Showing that
the coming of the Lord follows 10 close
proximity the message given in v. 8.
He showed that the message was APP
plicable at this time by proving that the
Lord is soon coming, though we know not
the time. And as the signs are fast fulfill
ing that which the Saviour said would
come to pass before he came, and as this
message precedes the coming of the Lord,
it therefore follows that now Is the time
to preach this message. Noah preached
the message of the flood at its appointed
time. And in Luke 1925 it says: "And
as 1t was in the days of Noah 80 shall it be
also in the days of the Son OF man." So this
message must be preached, and If men
hold their peace, s.1he stones would i'm
mediately cry out" Luke 1914. From
the context it is seen that this message
will be world wide. In Rev. u, this most
wonderful line Of prophecy is introduced,
the close ofawhich ushers 10 the Lords re-
turn to this world to receive his own.
The first symbol in the prophecy is a great
red dragon. 1t was clearly shown that
this symbol represented the Roman king |
dom that held the reins of the empire dur
ing the time Of our Saviour's life on oarth.
The second power in this chain Of pro-
phecy is presented in the 18th chapter of
Rev. under the symbol Of a leopard beast
which power was fully identified with the
Little horn" power of Dan. 7, which all
protestant commentator Of any note APP
ply to the papacy. That union OF church
and state that ruled the world during the
dark ages. Aud the word of God says,
in Y. s, that "All That dwell upon the
earth shall worship Him, whose names are
written 10 the book of life." This is
the beast power against which the mes
sage warns. And the Lord says In the fol-
verse: "If any man rave an ear
let him hear" What is His image2 will be
the theme for tonight.

The Colorado Advocate speaks as follows
of the Ross boys, both of whom were
raised in this city and who are highly re-
spected by all who know them:
George Ross, brother TO Albert Ross, a
pupil in our high school of this city, was
one of the few that graduated at the COM
mencement exercises at Las Vegas, New
Mexico, May the 26tb. Mr.. Ross took as
his subject "Arbitrs tion vs.. War; and
from the report Of his address that APP
peared in the Las Vegas papers, we find
that he made a great impression ana
analysed the subject to perfection. II
George has any of the vim Of his brother
Albert, he will make his mark In the
world. We predict a great future for
both of the boys; they have the best
wishes Of The Advocate.
