house on q tab street to cost s., S6S: and
B. F. Hammett has not yet let the con
tract for his business block on the cor

His agent here, Mr.. A. p. Coles thinks
that instead of putting up one-stCry
building Mr.. Hammet will duplicate
the Bronson block. Mr.. Hamme:t has
gone to ST. Louis to get figures on ma
terial to be purchased there before de-
Gliding as to the style of the building.
But while it is true that Ell Paso is
enjoying q building boom, it is also true
that there are more carpenters and
brick and stone masons now in the city
than can get work. In order to supply
all the idle workmen in the city with
employment Ell Paso would have to
expend a half million dollars in a year
in building.
Mr.. Rheinheimer complained yester-
day that carpenters were not making
any money here for the reason tina,
every jOurneyman was contractor.

Dying a Catholic and being buried a
Methodist, may Or may not be felici-
tous combination, but it certainly is
an experience that does not fall to the
lot of every mortal. The party in this
case was the late Ynnocente Medraro
who was run over by the Santa Fe
fret ght train at Canutillo Friday night.
He was brought to this city the follow
ing morning, and died later at the Sis
tiers hospital after the last rites had
been administered to him as a Catholic,
as his parents are Of that faith. But it
happens that the brother of the
deceased who lives in this city, is a
member OF the Mexican Methodist
church on South Campbell street, and
as he was to do the burying, he
proposed to have his brother buried
from the Methodist church, and he
was, yesterday, at 2. D. NJ, Presiding
Elder COrhin conducting the services.

The murder of Col. Fountain and his
little son in Dona Ana county was one
of the most brutal crimes in the his
tory of the territory. Sufficient evil
deGce has been procured to bring the
crime closely to several parties in that
county. If the legislature makes the
appropriation called for by the joint
resolution presented by Senator Hughes
there is little doubt that the murderers
will be brought to justice. The fair
name of New Mexico demands this and

plished.- Citizen.

A Happy Return.

Many amusing stories are told con-
nected with dueling. One has recent
y been told in which an English peer
and q politician figured. and we VEN
ture to repeat it because we think :,
worth preserving. The peer, for some
offense. was called out by the poljtj-
clan, and promptly responded to the
challenge. On arriving at home aS.Jn
after the duel his lordship gave =
guinea to the coachman who had drivan
him to and from the ground. tn.

tionally honest. simple man. He vs,

Growing Blackberries.

In a soil reclaimed for timber IN
affording sufhcient moisture, viz: not
subject to drought, blackberries will
do well. Most people plant them too
close In the beginning and they do
not grow. Rows six feet apart are
none too wide. II the ground cannot
be spared one may for a year or two
cultivate corn, or better, potatoes or
bush beans between the rows. The
greatest drawback is the red rust,
which should on 20 account be per-
mitted to get a foothold. These red
tinged plants grow very rapidly, but
are easily pulled up. Every bit of rust
must be burned as soon as seen. OF
course, very dry weather Just before
or in fruiting will be disastrous. When
the plants are well up cultivation
should be by horse or hand hoe. As
soon as possible after the plants are
well started good mulch of wet straw
should be applied. This. when done
properly, need not hinder the growth
Of potatoes for a year or two. Sub
sequently the bushes will have to be
cut back severally to admit of horse
cultivation.

caring for little children have fresh
ened him and renewed his youth, so
that though the almanac says he is SO,
the glow Of immortal youth is on his

There is no work more fascinating,
nor more full Of promise and hope for

an article of considerable value. The
people Of Uganda use it to preserve

this manner many a Bible has been
carried about in safety. Taking note
Of this, the British and Foreign Bible
society has made its latest version in
the uganda language Of a shape to fit
