A merchant can take an article costing

HAVE IT'S OWN FIRE DEPARTMENT
That is What the Ell Paso City Council
Thinks Juarez Should Have.

The city council met last night with
full deck, including his honor the
mayor; and the greater share of the
evening was given up to wind jamming
on the tire department..
Judge Kemp appeared for the South =
ern Pacific company to ask that a ten
inch pipe be furnished to drain the
territory around tie round house.
However, it was urged that the city's
duty was to furnish drainage solely for
sanitary purposes, and not to put in
special systems to carry off waste water
from railroad yards or refrigerator
plants. Referred to the city engineer
and sewer commissioner, who will re
port as to the capacity Of the present
system.
The city attorney announced that the
Delinquent tax suits of II. G. Hillebrard
and J. P. Dieter had been placed on
the jury list; and the council ordered
the jury fees paid.
Mr.. Stewart for the finance commit-
tee, reported these bills favorably and

AROUND ABOUT TOWN.
Caught on the Fly From People who
Talk to Reporters.

Jack COnnOrs, of the truck at the fire
departing nt, is a great lover of animals.
especially horses and dogs. Jack was
the owner of Mig that was killed a
few weeks since and is always willing
to talk about Mig" TO any one that
will listen to him. Last night he told
Around About" all about the funeral
of Mig" and said that fully five hun
dred people called at the department
to see the remains of the lamented dog
Mig tried to talk" said Connors,
when he was spoken to he always
looked up intellgently and would
move his jaws in an effort to talk. Mig
did more than any body else, except
myself, in training that gray horse to
get in the middle position on the
truck. He was as near human as it
was possible for an animal to be. >
Connors then went on to tell about
different dogs he had raised and given
away to friends. Goodwin Mitchell and
GIve-a-Dam Jones' dogs were both
raised by COnnors, but Jack thinks
that their owners have rot kept them
up to their early training.
''The board overruled me in my dis
position of the horses in the fire depart
ment" said Chief Corners to Around
\ bout this morning, and their decls-
ion gees with me. J am now arranging
TO buy another horse to take the place
of the vicious one that was sold by May
or Campbell. | have a chance to get q
good team for the truck that are good
matches, and may decide to trade the
horse that is now left. The latter is to
neavy for the service and the two
horses that l have my eyes on are GOOD
horses. Mayor Campbell and myself
Will decide on the trade IN day or so. J"
81 went before the council last night, :"
continued Chief Corners, so that the
possibility could be placed where it
belongs in case fire should occur on
this side of the river while the depart-
ment were in Juarez putting out
OlaZe. The city council some time
since made Mayor Campbell and the
chief of the fire department the proper
parties to order the department to go
TO fire over the river. The mayor
left the matter entirely with me, and |
wanted the council to give me full in
structiOns, so that the RESPONSE bility
would rest with them if d fire should
occur on this side while the depart
ment was over the river"
Lawyers Coldwell and Stanton know
nothing about agriculture, and it is
dou btful if either could pillow hay, but
if one had listened to them talking
about corn and Wheat this morning in
the county court they would have con-
sidered either fit candidates for the
agricultural portfolio. 1t is true that
Judge Coldwell did get. his witnesses
mixed and said some hard things about
his own witness. but then that was only
a slip of the torgue-he didn't mean it.
The corn question was being argued to
jury.
"There is nothing ia the district court
this morning." said District Clerk

person comes in and wants divorce.

| Mr.. hachler presented the report of
| the chief of police for Decem Der as fol-
| lows: fines imposed. S043: fines collected
1893: fines served out, Sl63; uncollected,
f27. Referred.
There was some rag chewing indulg-
ed in by the venerable city fathers over
| the expenses OF the judges of election
| and the matter was finally settled by
allowing the judges and the clerks 81
each.
In the matter of allowing the weekly
pay roll for the street department., Oh
Judge Coldwell's motion, the commits
sioner was requested to report the name s
of the men and their time: the war
rants to be drawn in favor of the men
personally rather than in favor of the
commissioner.
Mr.. Roberts of the fire and water
committee, then sprang the sensation
of the evening by submitting the fol-
lowing:
Referring to the petition of the fire
department submitted to your COMM t.
tee on the 14sh inst, we would respect
fully recommend the following:
l. That the city clerk be instructed
to invite bids from the furniture deal
ers of Ell Paso on the price OF six single
folding beds for the use of the firemen
2. That the finance committee be in
structed to invite bids for the building
of six closets in the northwest corner
of the city hall, said closets to be for
the use of the paid men in the fire de-
partment, also be instructed to receive
bids for the liking of the stalls in the
department.
3. We recommend that no change
be made in the present floor on which
the horses stand. Horsemen differ as to
the advantages, if any. of dirt floor
over wooden one for horses to stand
on. If a dirt floor was used, we would
be unable to use the sewer.
4. We recommend that a stove be
allowed the department for use of
watchman and that foremcn aud as
sistant chiefs be granted alarm bells.
D. We would respectfully request
the mayor, president and chief of the
fire department to see the city officials
of JuareZ, Mexico, and state to them
that on account of the danger incurred
TO property here in allowing the entire
ance when called on. That the city |
council orders the chief of the fire de- |
partment to always keep the hose carts |
that are in use within the fire limits of |
III PasO, but that the engine can 90 |
across the river to their ass istance, as
heretofore, when it is practicabl to do
so. We would further suggest that
the mayor and chief of the fire depart
ment be authorized to offer to the city
OF Juarez, for a reasonable sum, the
reel and hose and the hook and ladder
truck that we are not using at the
pre- sent time.
The mayor remarked his belief that
there were no great risks in sending
the department across the river in the
lay time. The time of danger in do

THE AGE OF THE PEARL.
Frohab1y the Oldest Precious Stone

The pearl is the one gem that comes
to us perfect from the hand Of nature.
and to this its great antiquity as i,
gem is largely due, says the Popular
Science Monthly. Precious stone.
whose beauty and brilliancy depend on
polishing and cutting would naturally
be discovered and utilized. The d;scov-
cry of the diamond probably datc.
within historic times. Though known
sarlier, it was not generally included
among the gem treasures of rovaity
even as late as the seventh century. Tho
modern cutting of diamonds in regular
facets was inverted as recently rs li5ti
Indeed, it is quite probable that the
pearl was the first gem known and
treasured by prehistoric man-sinvc
the search for food must have been the
first occupation of the earliest race
and the shining pearl would thus have
been discovered in river musscls if not
in marine oysters. Certain it is that
the Old Testament and the ancient writ
ten history allude to pearls, and that
remotcr evidence is found on the tonic
and eScavated cities in still earlier
cras. The Egyptians, Babylonians and
Assyrians held the pearl in an esteem

The Only Execution.

The Punxsutawney Spirit tells of an
old gentleman in Jefferson county, Pa,
who had worn the judicial ermine of an
associate judge for ten years. One day
he was asked by an old acquaintance
if he had ever been consulted by the
court while on the bench. "Never but
once" said the judge. "Only once in
ten years!" exclaimed the friend. at
must have been a very important case"
"Oh, no." replied the ex-associate, "it
was not a question of vital Importance.
IL was one day when the court had been
in session about ten hours, and I had
sat there and dreamed and dozed, and
scarcely realized what was going on.
During q lull in the proceedings, just be-
fore court adjourned, his honor turned
to ME and said in a sort of sympathetic
way: Isn't that seat pretty hard?'
admitted that it was, and that we,
the only time in ten years that the
court ever asked mS opinion about any
thing" .-.....
