Gomez to the Junta.

1--WE do not need men, and above all,
we do not want foreigners to come I'M
less they are men of military science.
1t is not. as you know, because of any
lack of appreciation, sympathy or as
sistance of the foreigner. We pray to
God that the American nation exist 5
and appreciate the great help it has
been to US. We do not want young
Americans to come to Cuba as fighters.
Not one in ten knows a word of the
language of our cOuntry-a language
we would change if we could since we
dislike Spain.
There were perhaps forty or fifty
Americans with Maceo when he enter
ed this province, but | don't believe
there are half dozen left. There are
plenty of Cubans who are anxious to
come to the assistance of their fighting
brethren. If men are to be sent, let
Cubans be the men. But, as q matter
of fact, we are not in need of men at
all. The whole native population is
with US, and 1 am confident an army
of 30, 600 could be placed in Havana
before the winter is over Il we but had
the arms and ammunition. Our
Cubans are brave and patriotic and
willing to die for US. Tell the Ame-
rican people to give us rifles and
supply of cartridges, and we will
whip Weyler before the winter ends.
We have many men waiting in the
province which was last to take up
arms

The cycle track association was I'M
able to transact any business at its
meeting this week on account of the
poor attendance consequent upon the
horrible weather. So another meeting
will be held later, when a secretary
will be elected to take the place of Dan
Parks, and plans will be talked over
relative to moving the track in town
and otherwise developing the work of
the association. The city, however, is
growing out towards the track, and it
will not be long before street cars are
running out there, and residences are
built up in that neighborhood.

Our Weary WilIies,

A tramp accosted a citizen the other
day on the streets with a pitiful story
about his deprivations and sutferings.
The citizen wore his heart on his
sleeve, and the Wandering Willie was
not slow in catching onto the fact.
The citizen put up four bits. and the
tramp smole smile and went away.
That night, the citizen was going into
the opera house when 10 and behold,
in front of him at the box office was
the self same sturdy beggar buying an
admission with the same four bit piece
that the citizen had given him.
Another citizen was held up about
the same time by another Wandering
Willie with a really dreadful story
about his sufferings. This citizen was
also moved to sympathy with such acute
suffering, and contribute of his means
towards the alleviations of the strang-
er's dire necessities. Not two hours
afterward, as the citizen went into a
barber shop whom did he see there but
the young tramp and pardner in the
chairs-one getting his hair cut, and
the other enjoying a shave. Both
operations being paid for with the citi
zen'S hard earned cash.
Keep your weather optic on these
suffering" people, incautiOus reader.

The Current on Gamblers.

There are many reasons why gamb-
ling should not be licensed in EDDY,
among them no greater exists than the
fact that professional gamblers will be
compelled to seek other towns in which
to live. There is no class so dOmineer-
ing in politics as gamblers and saloon
men. They seek to control politics
with whisky and other bribery. Any
citizen who values his freedom will not
vote for licensing gambling, for it
would be equivalent to giving over the
control of the town to an element that
live off from labor and never labors,
but instead tries to run the machine.
The Current is against giving control
OF the town of Eddy over to any class or
clique and to invite gamblers and sa-
loon men here would be equal to giving
them the right to run the town.

There is one woman in San Francisco

There is one woman in San Francis co
who will probably never scold again.
She is Mrs. Jacobson, and had quarrels
with her husband. Last week she saw
him standing in queer attitude with
a scarf around his neck. She began to
berate him. Receiving no reply, her
bitter tongue wagged faster and faster
heaping torrents of abuse upon his head.
At last, out of patience, she shook him.
Only then did she see she was scolding
a corpse, her husband having hanged
himself to the gas pipe.

To Be Myrtle Avenue. ,

The FL Paso Building and Real
Estate company met yesterday at the
office of A. P. Coles and elected J. j.
O'Fallan, president: G. r. Morehead,
vice president: A. p. Coles, secretary
and treasurer. J. G. Van Blascom, Z.
F. J. Mccarthy were added to the
officers from the directory.
The local real estate situation was
freely talked over, AID it was agreed
that the outlook was promising, and
strong hope for the growth and de-
velopment of the city might reasonably
be INDUCED in. The company owns
considerable property along Myrtle
street, and as the tendency is now a.
days to call residence streets avenues,
and as the name is much more tony
than street." the company will agree
with the real estate company that
meets today. to ask the city council to
change the name of Myrtle street to
Myrtle avenue.

STRANGE, BUT TRUE.

Tennyson could take a worthless sheet
of paper, write poem on it and make
it worth So, O00-that's genius.
Vanderbilt can write few words on a
sheet of paper and make it worth
So, 900, OO0-that's capital.
Uncle Sam can take SIS worth OF gold
and stamp upon it an Eagle Bird and
make it worth $20-that's money.
Mechanics can take material worth So
and make it into watch springs worth
S1000-that's skill.
a merchant can take an article costing
IL cents and sell it for $I-that's bust
Dess.
a lady can buy hat for So. but she
prefers one that costs S30-that's foolish.
A ditch digger works 10 hours a day
aud handles several tons of dirt, for 81
that's labor.
The writer of this could write a check
for S75, 900, 900. but it wouldn't be worth
two bits-that's tough.
Any one can get more "REAL VALUE''
and "BETTER GOODS" at our store
than at any other place in Ell Paso-
