A ROYAL Picture.

Years ago, when staying In Berlin,
was conducted over the private rooms Of
the royal family in the Berlin schloss.
The old emperor's rooms were strewn with
bibelots SO numerous and SO charming that
a young princess might have envied them.
On his birthday gifts of every sort, with
punches of his favorite cornflower, were
sent to him from all parts of the kingdom.
Blue was the predominant color of the
decoration, and lapis lazuli vases and or
naments were there in dozens.
What struck me most of all his posses
sions was a picture painted in water colors
by the Empress Frederick, then crown
princess. 1t consisted of large flower
bunch of gay flowers, and in the center of
each flower peeped forth the head of one Of
the emperors little grandchildren. In q
withered violet was the baby face of Prince
Sigismund, who it will be remembered,
died when he was but years old. Old
General Field Marshal Wrangel was god
father to the tiny child and gave him,
remember soldiers cap to wear. After
his death the crown princess returned IL
to the general, and sewed inside was one of
her darling's fair ilaxen curls.-Woman at

Charlotte Corda,,s Physical Picture.

DR.. Cahanes, in In Revue Hebdomadaire,
describes La Nraie Charlotte Corday."
1t cannot be said that he is timid. Her
contemporaries have thought that "her
complexion had the transparency Of milk,
the carnation Of roses and the yelvetiness
of peaches They have thought also that
'she was not pretty. Her face was hard,
insolent and as if marked with erysipe-
las" One witness says that mile. Cor
day was not handsome, but her expression
was SO sweet, SO sweetl' Some say that
she was tall rather than small; others say
that she was tall; many say that she was
decidedly small. Her passport makes her
height feet inch. Her hair, according
to an official document, was chestnut; &C
cording To another official document ID
was blond; Nine. Hauer, wife of the paint
or who made Charlotte's portrait, says
that her hair was "cendre" = that is,
mouse or drab or ash colored. Able Di-
none, who had a lock of her hair says that
Ii was neither red nor 'cendre. DIR.
Cabanes says decisively that she was beau
tiful, Of average height and that her hair
was chestnut. History, founded on au-
thentic documents, says that her express
sion was sweet and sour; that her COM
plexion was of milk and roses and marked
at the same time as by erysipelas, and she
was of tall, small and medium height;
that she was blond, dark and neither dark
nor blond. History is science.

Rewards offered Aggregate
$500.

No tidiugs are yet at hand concerning
the fate of Col. A. j. Fountain and son
who are supposed to have been kidnap-
ped by stock thieves near Iularosa ten
days ago. Lincoln, White Oaks, and
probably Roswell now have rescue par
ties in the field, and yesterday another
posse of twenty men, well provisioned
ana equipped, left Las Cruces to make
thorough search of the Sacramento m oun-
tains across which the trail leads.
At last reports the Roswell citizens
committee was still gathering subscrip-
tions for the reward they intend Offering
for the recovery of the missing father
and son and the capture of the desper-
ADDE'S. Probably the amount will reach
$500, which, added to the territory's re-
ward of $500, Hon. Numa Reymond's re-
ward of 800 and 800 offered by the Las
Cruces Masonic lodge, will make a total
reward of $1,000. Following is copy
of the governors proclamation in the
premises:

EXECUTIVE OFFICE.


Santa Fe, n. NJ, February 7.
Whereas, on or about the first day of
February, 1886, Albert j. Fountain and
his son, Henry Fountain, were kidnapped
by unknown parties, supposed to be
three in number, on the road between Tu-
larosa and San Agustin, 10 the county of
Dona Ana, and have either been murder
ed or carried captive into the San Fran
cisco or Guadalupe mountains, as indi-
Gated by the trail leading in that direc-
ton;
Now, therefore, for the purpose of se-
curing their speedy release if alive or the
discovery of their bodies if dead, and the
arrest and conviction of their murderers,
], W. T. Thornton, governor of the terri
tory of New Mexico, by virtue of the au-
thority in me vested, do issue this procla-
nation calling upon all good citizens of
the territory, and especially of the coun-
ties of Dona Ana, Lincoln, Eddy and
Chaves, to turn out and aid the authori-
ties in searching for the said A. j. Foun-
tain and son, if alive, and their bodies if
dead, and that thorough search be made
through all the eastern portion of Dona
Ana, southern portion of Lincoln and
the western portion of the counties of
Chaves and Eddy, and that all due effort
be made to rescue the victims and bring
the criminals to Justice.
The crime perpetrated is so grave and
heinous that it behooves all good citizens
who wish to see crime stopped and the gull
ty punished to turn out and do their whols
duty, and as far as possible protect the
honor and reputation Of our territory by
promptly discovering and bringing to
punishment the guilty parties.

Supt. E. H. Bergman, of the New Mex.
leo penitentiary at Santa Fe, received last
Wednesday official notification from Pres
ldent Cleveland, that he had commuted
the sentence of G. Fl. Dane to five years.
Mr.. Dane was president of the defunct
First National banks of Deming and
Silver City, both of which we're closed

March 1894 to torn of ten years in the
New Mexico penitentiary. He has now

Death OF Major Palen's Mother.

Death OF Major FaIen's Mother.
Major R. j. Palen, president of the
First National bank, received telegram
from Hudson, N. Y. ON Saturday after
noon announcing that his mother was
failing fast and encouraging little hope
OF her recovery. Major Palen departed
for New York on the same evening, hop.
ing to reach the bedside of his beloved
mother before death claimed her.
But he was destined to be disappointed.
Another telegram, received at 6 o'clock
last night, conveyed the sad intelligence
that, about the hour he was leaving Santa
Fe, his mother passed peacefully away.
The deceased, Mrs. Caroline A. Palen,
was n years old. She was the widow of
Judge Joseph Gilbert Palen, who was
chief justice of New Mexico at the time
of his death in Santa Fe twenty-five years
ago and who sleeps the dreamless sleep
of the grave in Fairview cemetery in this
city.
Mrs. Palen spent the year 1881 in Santa
Fe with the family of Major Palen, her
only living child, and is we'll remembered
by many readers of these lines, her rare
qualities of head and heart endearing her
to all with whom she came in personal
contact. She was an earnest Christian
woman, being devoted member of the
Episcopal church. The family of Major
Palen have the sympathy Of many friends
in their time of bereavement and mourn.

M/ith q better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical Ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There Is comfort in
the knowledge, that 30 many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to q constipated condi-
ton Of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why It is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it il the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
II in the enjoyment Of good health,
and the system Is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. II
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slxillful
physicians, but If in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup Of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used andgives most general satisfaction
