dark young woman in white, for Senorita
Concha dresses to match her surname
stands at the door of the express car LAM
tern in hand, checking the packages on the
big receipt book. When the freight train
stops she fits in and out of the long line
of cars, telling the brakemen what to take
and what to leave.She is from one end If the
train to the other, seeing that no mistakes
are made. The bareheaded girl in a white
dress is full Of business. She wastes no
time on empty words The trainmen re-
spect her. She does everything about the
station but handle the baggage. There are
plenty of stout Mexicans of the other sex
hanging about for that work.
Concha Blanca is so well esteemed by the
management of the road that she has been
twice promoted, until now she has one of
the most important stations under her
care. She does all the teegraphing, be-
sides attending to the receiving and ship
ping Of freight. 1t was her knowledge of
telegraphing that got the young woman
her first recognition. Her father and two
use the key. A station was given to her
where there was not much to do besides
the telegraphing. Her aptitude for rail-
road work attracted the attention of Cen
eral Manager Morcom and the promotion
followed. Concha Blanca lives In the sta
ton. Her mother keeps house for her and
younger sister sits at the telegraph table
learning the vocation of the new woman in
Mexico. The conductors have got in the
way OF pointing out to travellers Senorita
Concha along with the ruins of the ancient
city on the mountain top, the site where
the battle Of Tehuacan was fought, the
hierogiyphics on the cliff at the entrance

interest.

About half century ago a queer re-

for several months created a great deal of
excitement throughout that section. Sew

earthly possessions to the new messiah"

Cable Telegraph Injunction

OADle IeleSr0pn INJUNCTION.
The Attorney General says that last Sep
TENDER complaint was made to him that
certain cable telegraph companies. which
have in other countries reached by them a
monopoly which would exclude all Ameri-
can companies, were about to land a cable
on the shores of Long Island. 1T was rep
resented to me that such foreign companies,
having failed on account of the exclusion
of American companies above mentioned to
secure authority to land their cables, had
resorted to the device of an American COM
pany with a small capital, organized and
controlled by them, which was merely to
the line of jurisdiction, and thereby furnish
q means of entrance to the foreign COM
panies. Knowing that Congress, at it's last
session, had under consideration bill to
regulate the landing of foreign cables, and
believing that the general sentiment favors
the exclusion Of companies organized in
countries which refuse like privileges to
American companies, l deemed 1t my duty
to direct a suit to be brought in the south
ern district Of New York to enjoin the con-
summation of the plan above mentioned
My chief design was to afford Congress an
opportunity to act upon the matter before
this cable should be laid"
On the SUBJECT of the Pacific railways the
Attorney General says that the report of
George Hoadly. special counsel for the
United States, shows that there Is no SUBJ
stantial change In the state of the litiea-
ton about the Union Pacific railway and
its branches. He continues:

of trustees shows the condition of the
school at the end of the last fiscal year.
Since that date new superintendent has
been appointed who appears to be very
capable and enthusiastic in her work, and
ready to devote all her energies to the well
fare of the Institution. The failure to secure
these qualities in previous superintendents
has caused much trouble and annoyance
1.-THE recommendations made in the report
meet with my approval. l urge that Com
gress enlarge the school, appropriatinR So
600 for a new building, which will enable
the school to care for more inmates at yery
little increase of expense. The growing
population Of the District has made the
school entirely too small.
ION October Is, 1895, the board of trustees
appointed treasurer OF the school, which
appointment was confirmed by the District
Commissioners on December Is, 1893. on
condition that no liability for the salary Of
said treasurer was to be incurred until an
appropriation should be made therefor nv

month from January 1 to June 80, aug
