and ocnpleted, the new capital that will
come into the territory, and the great
number of people who will find homes in
the land of sunshine in 1898 promise to
make new country of the home of the
old Spanish conquerers. If it were not
for the possibilities of the new year it
would be better to keep the old.
Ofthe outside world little that is bright
can be said at this time. The nations of
the old world are approaching crisis in
their history that is anything but assor-
ing. The fleets of the powers are assemb-
ling in the waters OF the Orient for the
purpose of dividing the lands of the old
eat and most conservative government in
the world. The shameless robbery can.
not be accomplished without bloodshed
and rapine. The new year will not have
grown to much age, Judging from pres.
ent indications. before the telegraph wires
will be flashing the news of conflict and
destruction to every quarter of the globe.
And thus dies the old year. Filled with
rejoicing in some parts of the world,
with apprehension and dread in others.
What will the new year bripgf Only

abundant flesh, but it must be systematic
and continuous to have any effect.
The fine comb Is an enemy to the hair
and ought not to be used as it irritates
the scalp and induces dandruff. A thor
ough brushing with stiff brush having
long bristles is better than combing
with any sort Of comb. When comb is
used, 1t should be one composed entirely
of large teeth, wide apart. The hair is
much benefited by being allowed to hang
free about the shoulders, and the more it
is exposed to sunshine the better. 1t

tightly at night
Kid gloves may be cleaned with pure
kerosene. The gloves arc placed on the
hands and are rubbed with soft rag
dipped in the kerosene, only enough being
used to remove the spots. After the gloves
are clean they are removed from the hands,
pulled lengthwise and hung before regis
ter to dry. The oil will evaporate In few
hours, leaving no trace on the kid.

concerned and with which fashion had
nothing whatever to do. Take nightcaps,
for example. Formerly they were as much
a part of the sleeping toilet for men,
women and children as the nightgown
itself. Now they are obsolete. Even their
name is never heard and it is as If they
never existed. Yet in the books of 80
years or so ago they are as frequently
mentioned as collars and cuffs. Witness
Mr.. Pickwicks nightcap and the night
cap Of the lady in yellow curl papers. Our
grandmothers and even the mothers of
some of us wore nightcaps, often en-
broidered, lace trimmed or ruffled The
question is, Why, If this headgear was
necessary at all, is 1t not as necessary now
as it ever WASP People sleep with the
windows open even more than they for
merly did Drafts are as common as ever,
and SO are colds in the head. Why should
the nightcap have fallen into desuetudef
Like babies house caps, 1t has entirely
vanished. Perhaps 80 years hence the head
will be kept uncovered upon all occasions,
out of doors and in, and the hat will be
as much thing Of the past as the night
cap now is.
The very newest thing in hats is Of vel
vet Of royal blue or violet blue. These are
rather crude colors, which do not become
the majority Of persons, but they are the
acme Of fashion and therefore to be worn
by all who can afford to do so, and whose
aim Is to be in the very van Of tho mode

The White Ash Cases.

The verdict in favor of the defendant
in the damage suits brought against the
Cerrillos Coal Railroad company by
Josephine Deserant and others, rendered
by the jury In the Santa Fe county Dis
trict court last evening, closes one of the
hardest fought legal battles in the history
of the county. The White Ash disaster
occurred on February 81, 1896, and the
first trial of the damage suits took place
in the District court in May, 1896, the
coal company losing. An appeal was
taken to the Territorial Supreme court,
where the judgment of the lower court
was reversed and the cases remanded for
new trial.
During the past two weeks the court
has been hearing the causes, Messrs.
Frank W. Clancy and Neill B. Field ap-
pearing for the plaintiffs, and Mr.. R. E.
Twitchell for the defendant. The plain
tiff's attorneys presented a most re-
markably strong case, and made no mis-
takes in their management. Mr.. Twitch-
ell, on the other hand, defended with
marked ability, and succeeded in secur-
ing verdict in favor of the Cerrillos
Coal Railroad company. Mr.. Twitchell
has had charge of these cases from the
first, and has gained victory which
marks him as lawyer in every sense of
the word, and his many friends are con-
graduating him on his success.

THE END AND THE BEGINNING.

The Old Year is fast dying and in few
hours 1897 will have gone to join the
ages that are passed. Not only is the
year old, but the nineteenth century is
drawing to close, and those of the peo-
pie who came onto life's stage near the
middle of the century are beginning to
look upon themselves as men and women
of years aud experience, but it is yet too
room to dwell upon the achievements of
the decades that have passed since 1900
was ushered in. The year that is nearing
its closing hours encompasses enough of
life and death to engage the attention of
ali seriously inclined minds.
To the United States 1897 has been
very kind. Daring the past tewvemonth
the country has undergone a change for
the better in every way; in place of busi-
ness and financial stagnation and distress,
which confronted the commercial world
in the opening days of the year, there is
now reasonable degree of activity and
prosperity, and the outlook for the future
is rosy with promises for greater ad-
vancement. and prosperity. There have
been disturbing prophecies of war and
calamity, bat they have failed of fulfill
meut and peace seems to be assured the
land for long time to come; of inter
national complications there is nothing
to cause apprehension. Americas posi-
tion of isolation and her command of the
food supplies of the world we're never
better understood than at the presen,
time, the dependence Of the great powers
of Europe upon the farms of the vast
western prairies has been thoroughly
impressed upon the nations of the world
the past summer by the manner in which
every demand made on them for bread
stuffs has been supplied. Never before
in the history of the great republic ha
her commanding position been co sur.
and her inde ependenoe Of all outside In.
fluences been so thoroughly understood
and demonstrated. To the nation 1897
has been exceedingly gracious and the
Old Years departure will be regretted by
all.
In the territory Of New Mexico the
year has seen many changes for the bet
ter and prosperity has smiled upon the
industries within our boundaries lavishly.
