Father Pinto Promoted.

Rev. Charles NJ. Pinto of this city,
has been promoted from being super
ior of the mission embracing Colorado,
New Mexico, Texas west of the PecoS,
and the northern part of Chihuahua.
Father Pinto has been in Denver and
other Colorado points inspecting his
new Jurisdiction, and will return to
this city shortly to continue his station
at this point.
He takes the place made vacant by
the transfer of Father Morrow to the
Naples, Italy, mission and the fact that
| Father Morrow was also President OF
the Jesuit college at Denver, has given
the impression that Father Pinto had
| also been made president eX-officiO OF
| the college. This however is not so.
| The president of the Jesuit college is
| Father Guido. who was for many years
| rector of the North Larimer St. church
in Denver. The chihuahua jurisdic-
ton, moreover. is only temporary, the
Juarez charge being taken at the re-
quest of the bishop of Chihuahua who
has not enough priests to fill all
of the parishes. Father Pinto will
direct the affairs of his large mission
| from Ell Paso which thus takes on more
Importance as an ecclesiastical center.
The father is by birth an Italian. He
was for seven years professor of Ian
guages in the university of Madrid
Spain, and was for nearly twenty years
parish priest at Trinidad, Colorado.
A few years ago he was transferred to
FL PasO. He has many friends who
will be much pleased to learn of his adj
vancement, aud who will wish him a
long and prosperous life.

The New Voting Machine.

Chicago Times Herald3 The eXhi-
bition of 4 new voting machine alway
occasions renewed interest in the queS-
ton of improving the methods that
are now in use for registering the will
of the electorate. The electrical de-
vices invented for this purpose and ex-
hibited at the Columbia exposition
were interesting examples of mechani-
cal ingenuity, but the general verdict
of the politicians was to the effect that
they were too expensive and too com
plicated.
1t is very clear that the voting ma
chine which inventive genius may be
called upon to supply in the future
must possess the merits OF accuracy,
simplicity and cheapnCs5. When such
a machine is produced. one that will
stand the test of repeated trials, there
is little doubt that it viii receive the
favora BILE consideration at the hands OF
state legislatures.
While the machines that were used
in Michigan and Massachusetts at the
recent election were not entirely salts
factory. their operation revealed the
great benefit that would come from the
use of practical machine in the quick
announcement of the returns as soon as
the polls closed.
AS matter Of fact, the hardness of
Vic ICIul lo C'uSbA0ubC OLS Pa AhSip oIy II
not the only. objection to the present
system of voting. 1t is probably that
a mechanical voting device would not
be seriously considered were it not
for the fact that the business Of count
ing the ballots quite often falls into in
com petent hands-sometime into cor
rupt hands-and the news of the peo-
Pies verdict is rot only delayed but
many times invested with suspicion.
1t has been suggested that the count
might be greatly facilitated by having
separate boxes for the ''straights" of
each party, with q registering device
for each that would register one vote
when the folded ballot was drawn in
by means of rollers operated with a
crank But the indispensable objection
to this method lies in the fact that
voters do not care to let even the
judges know whether they vote
straight ticket Or not.
AS long as the present system OF
counting obtains there will always be
some popular demand for voting ma
chine, but its mechanism must not b.
or costly.

MEXICAN CENTRAL CHANGE.
Supt. r. E. Comfort Resigns, and a
Missouri man takes his Place.

Missouri man takes his Place.
The public will be surprised to learn
that r. E. Comfort, superintendent OF
the Chihuahua division of the Mexican
road, has resigned after thirteen years
OF consecutive and faithful service.
However, it is reassuring to learn that
his valuable services will not be lost to
the company, for is understood in cir
cles where reliable information is OBJ
tanned, that he will have a responsible
position elsewhere, though just where,
it is too early to make public. Mr..
Comforts successor will be Master
Dolan of the Chicago division OF the
Santa Fe stationed at Marceilipe. Mo,
who is due in Juarez on the 10th inst.
OF course there are all sorts of stories
connected with the change, one being
that it is the result of misunderst and-
ingS with the Mexican custom house.
Mr.. Comfort is down the line at pres
ent and consequently out OF reach; but
the officials at this end ridicule the
idea of anything of the kind. 1t is also
currently reported that tie change is
largely due to the glut OF freight on
the Central, and the condition of the
motive power. But just why Mr.. Com
fort should be censured for the failure
of what belongs entirely to another de-
partment. chat of machinery or motive
power is not clear. Mir. tombstone is
the responsible head of that depart
ment, and the general management is
supposed to look to the superintendent
of motive power and machinery for the
proper maintenaL ce of his department
and not to the operating departments.
However that may be, the railroad
and general public in fact, will be slow
in believing that the change is due tC

any fault of Mr.. Comforts. Mr.. Com
fort came originally from Cuba, N. Y,
and was prepared to study law. But
lust as he was about to enter Michigan
University, his health broke down, ana
he removed to Denver where he TOOK
up the profession of civil engineer,
mostly on account of the out-of-door
life. A. A. Robinson, then connected
with the Santa F'e, was not long In
picking up this promising young man,
and he was made general agent OF
terminals for the Santa F'e at Deming.
From there, D. B. Robinson secured
his services as train master OF the
Mexican Central at the City of Mexico,
and 1882 or 1884 was made superinten-
dent of the northern division of the
road where he has remained ever since
and made an A l record for himself.
Mr. Comfort has long had the repu-
| tation among railroad men as one OF
! the most thorough going and capable
! administrators in railway management
in the southwest. and man more faith
full to his trusts can not be found. He
has long been so much on the go that
he is become almost a stranger to his
family, and thinks nothing of denying
himself sleep and enduring almost any
amount of fatigue in his efforts to keep
up his end of the line in credltable
J shape. According to all accounts, Mr..
/ Comfort is not averse to change, for
! he must take rest or permanently I'M
pair his health, and his cares have
/ been immensely increased by the
wretched motive power and facilities
for operation that he has been forced tC
put up with.
Mr. Comfort is deservedly popular
man, he is a prominent Mason and
Shriner, and on general principles ii
may be safely said that he wont be GU,
of job long.

formerly hauled the cars. That was
the famous engine which was exhibited
at the Worlds Fair and we presume
that sixty years hence the daily papers
will record that John Smith or John

Sometimes it is Il graceful gold tiligree,

Almost everyone who goes 10 select Il de-

that held her monogram. and many others
have taken up the clever scheme.
This style Of address is not. however, the
very newest. The monogram circle should
be at the left side Of the sheet. and At its
right is the address. fashioned out OF the

Others have the home address placed in
