Mr.. Whttmore reported with refer
ence TO the occupancy of the one
undivided half of the city's north
Campbell street house, that Mr.. Teg-
mire would give his opinion in the
matter later so that report could be
made to the council
Mr.. Stewart did not think the gas
company should be paid $50 for Nov
ember as long as this company's meter
in the city hall building had leaked so
generously. The burning question
was referred back to Mr.. Stew
art for further intellectual mastica-
Lion.
The clerk then sprung the following
romanza-not from Tannhauser, upon
the innocent and uususpecting alder
men:
Hon. r. F. Campbell, Mayor of Ell Paso,
S1R-if the city OF Ell Paso desires
the option to extend the existing con-
tract with the water company for two
years after its expiration upon the
same terms and conditions, said option
will be given by the water company.
SYLVESTER WATTS,
President Ell Paso Water Co.
Judge Coldwell favored accepting
the option, and offered a resolution
Watts s. to bind the bargain.
By MIR. Clifford-"How much is the
thing going to cost?'
Judge Coldwell in sepulchral tones
-''just five dollars -
MIR. Clifford subsidized into a state of
calm and peaceful reflection, as he
tapped his dome of thought meditati-
vely for few seconds, and then turned
to Mr. Stewart for chew of tobacco
90 ic,t \ inn fIlr-t n in hn
cranial processes. Mr.. Clifford has
seemed, by the way. quite lost now
that there is now more scrapping with
Colonel Ritter or the water company.
In fact the monastery quietness that
prevades the council chamber these
days appears quite foreign, as it were:
he can not get used to it, Mr.. Stewart
too, seems to have lost the keen pug
nacity that so marked his utterauces
while Colonel Ritter was on deck.
His grace, the mayor, sagely observ-
ed that the reason of this communica
tion from Mr.. Watts might without
any great mental effort be traced to
the levy of l3 mills for the sinking fund
of the water works. The mayor was
authorized to contract with Mr.. Watts
for the option.
A little bill for IS. 80 from the Ell
Paso Fuel company was reviewed and
allowed,
The chief of police requested two
dozen new blankets for the city Jail, as
the old supply was pretty much gone
up. Several aldermen scratched their
| polls for moment as though they could
not get it through the same why blank
cts should be needed in the city Jail.
The lovely spring weather now en-
shrouding the city ought to be blanket
enough for any reasonable HOBO or
criminal. The request was finally re-
| ferred to the police committee with
power to act.
The council then sailed in to complete
| the next tax levy, and made the tota
levy Sl.T per 800, distributed as
| follows:

a bill has been drafted by the min
lister of mines of Victoria, Australia,
providing for the expenditure OF sl40-
900 by the government to assist in the
development of mining. According to
the provisions of the bill e75, 900 may
be set aside for assisting companies
which are doing pioneering work, but
only CPS, 500 can be spent annually.
The money is to be expended in sinking
or driving. or in obtaining machinery
and appliances for carrying on such
pioneering work. For each pound OF
assistance received the companies must
expend a pound of their own money.
The repayment of this is to be made a
charge on the first profit. Part of the
rest of the proposed appropriation is to
be used for an ore testing plant.
The Mexican National railway the
other night ran two Pullmans to the
states. Their Pullmans are crowded
every night with people returning to
the states for the holidays. 1t is much
easier to go north now than in the cid
days of the diligencias when it took 81
days riding to Ell Paso, and the diligen
cia ticket was 5000 or $500 in gold
it takes now five days to reach New
York by the National.

PRACTICAL. EDUCATION.

MIR. John Jacob Astor, though he is
the puSsessor of many millions, is Il prac-
ticaI mechanic. If hc did not lave Il
dollar, he could earn Il living in IL machine
shop. His father, though lac was d!
wealthest nrn in the United States, die,
not believe that his children should bs
brought up to habits OF idlcness. 1t has
often been said that the Astors are the
most representative rich family in the
country. The mcn arc now, ;,s they have
been for generations, earnest, practical
and Industrious. They arc not content to
10 sit down and take life easy; they arc
busy and ambitious. They are cultivat-
ed gentlemen.

Astor was coming to the Atlanta expo
sition, on the SPECIAL train with Governor
Morton, the locomotive broke down. Mr..

a LESSON OF CONFIDENCE.

In these times of depression and dis
trust, il is well to consider the question
how best to restore confidence between
sections and individuals. An incident
in the history of the great State of Illinois
willserve to point the moral.
There was Il period i'm lHr history when
her people were burdened with I; small
debt, and it was felt that not only would
she be unable to discharge the principal
but the interest on il. 4 convention of
delegates were assembled according to
call to consider the ways and means OF
repudiating the debt. 1t was generally
conceded that that was the only course.
But Stephen A. Douglas differed with
this view. From Il sick bed he sent up
the following resolution
Resolved, That while the Stats of
Illinois may never be able TO ls,y = dollar
of her debt, 80 help me tod, she will
never repudiate penny OF it,"
The debt was not repudiatai. In coll-
gress Mr.. Douglas succeeded in getting
the government TO become the trllstor
and the State Of Illinois the trustee for
grant which resulted in the construc-
ton of the Illinois Central railroad and
laid the foundation for great common
wealth.
Thus tho iron will of Il man on his sick
,ed WAS transmitted through brief res
olntion to the sovereignty of Il great
Stare, inspiring confidence and inf,psing
strength. h.-EXchange

During his trial he attempted To prove
that he was in Elmira, n. T., doing

the proof which he furnished was suffi-

He Was to Hang on Oct. I.

ment for clemency was made yester-
day before the board. Attorneys
George $. Horn and Major Everett

est, and their case was presented so
fully and ably that the board rendered
IT'S decision before adjournment. Tie

Boschino was under sentence Of
death to be hanged on Wednesday,

DEATH CAME SUDDENL Y.
James hetheringtOn, Of Summit Avenue,
Dropped Dead on Lackawanna Ave.
nue...Heart Failure the Cause.

James Hetherington, of 1ilS Sum-
by occupation, married and Al years
old, died suddenly on the sidewalk in
front of the Office of the National EN-
press company, BOG Lackawanna ave-
nue., at 10 o'clock yesterday morning.
Heart failure was the cause.
Mr.. Hetherington was employed by
Contractor h. NJ. Williams. Upon ar
riving at the building upon which he
was working there was no material
to start with and he went home. At
ter changing his clothes he came to
the central city. AS he was standing
at the corner of Wyoming and Lack
aWanna avenues he saw Mr. Williams
timekeeper pass by on a bicycle, and
started on run to overtake him. Down
the avenue he ran until he reached the
Express office and he fell forward on
the sidewalk.
A crowd gathered quickly around,
and DR.. F.. NJ. Pennypacker, who
chanced to be passing made his way
to Hetherinston's side, but found his
life had just passed ont. There was
n cut above the right eye where he
struck on the stone flag. Undertaken
\. X. Raub removed the body to his
undertaking establishment, and later
in the day Coroner LonSstreet made
an autopsy, and found that the de-
ceased had been chronic sufferer from
heart trouble.
Among the many persons who gath
cred around and saw the man lying
dead on the street there was none who
knew him, and he remained uniden-
titled until two women called at I'm
dertaker Raub's some time later in the
day, recognized his features and told
who he was. Mrs. Hetherington is left
with three small children, and her
health is very poor. The news weak
cred her greatly, but she came to
Raubs at 5 o'clock in the evening to
see her husband and make sure there
was no mistake. The deceased was
member of Providence Castle knights
of the Mystic Chain. and man well
thought of by every one who knew him.
Coroner Longstreet empanelled jury
consisting of william Raub. Charles
Raub. DR.. Kelly, George Perigo, c. Nj.
Custer and DR.. Pennypacker who re-
turned Il verdict that death was due
to heart failure. The funeral will be
held tomorrow afternoon. lnterment
will be made in Peckvlle.
