FATHER HENNEBERRY DEAD.

Father Henneberry, a celebrated
Catholic missionary, who recently
visited New Mexico, died at st. Mary's
hospital, in Virginia City, Nevada, on
the 10Th inst. His death was the re-
suit of a paralytic stroke which he re-
ceived a month ago. He went 10 this
place about August 18th to hold a mis-
sion. He labored ardently and the
intense heat which prevailed at that
time, enfeebled his constitution.
Father Henneberry vas q member OF
the missionary Order of the Most
Sacred Blood. and the superior Of that
order west Of the Rocky mountains
His labors extended not only among
the whites and Indians of this country,
but through India, Africa and Aus
tralia. he had beer missionary since
his ordination in 1847 and was the
founder OF the College of Mount St.
Joseph, at Rhonerville, Humboldt
county, Cal. Father Henneberry was
a native of Cloncuney parish, of
Moncoyne, Ireland, and was sixty
seven years old.

by We Are Kept Out.

From the santa 10 New Mexican,
The New Merican does not agree
with the Denver Nei0s concerning the
reasons that have kept the Territory
out OF the union as a stste, and believes
the statement that "the east and its
gold-bug money magnates have de-
creed that no more western states shall
be admitted Is an injustice to the
eastern representatives In congress.
The real reason statehood has been
denied New Mexico Is that the popular
idea Of the Territory 10 the east is
that the population Is insufficient, that
the industries were in an u~ndeveloped
state. and that the people were neces-
sarily ignorant because there were
no public schools for the edu.
cation of the masses.
These objections, the governors re-
port will in a large measure remove,
and when statehood comes up again in
congress the representatives from the
eastern states will be better informed
on the subject; Its vital interest 10 the
welfare of n Of the largest sections
OF the United States will be recognized,
and statehood will be granted New
Mexico without any serious objections
on the part Of a single senator or con
gresham.
II is to be hoped that when the re
port is published an edition large
enough to permit Of a general distri-
button among the members Of congress
will be printed.

While with kitchen work I'll wrestIe,
Course and hard Is fathers bed.
Hush, my dear, thy food and raiment,
House and home thy ma provides;
She's a sumner, baby darling;
Gracefully her bike she rides.
Hush my babe lie still and slumber!
Father wants to go to bed;
Mother won't be home till morning
Gone to make a speech, she said.
So Well lay us down and slunaber-
Slumber sweet till morning breaks;

spREAD oT DIpHrHERIA.

As diphtheria has already appeared
10 many counties OF Indiana, the state
board OF health fears an increase when
cold weather arrives and so Is taking
precautions to inform the people
through circulars concerning the cause,
the way 1t is propsgated, how to pre-
vent aud the proper conduct Of stricken
households. To health officers the in
structions in part are:
IL In any case there Is doubt do not fell
T., consider It diphtheria until the contrary
is proven. Mild cases, so far as the spread
of the disease 10 concerned, are usually
more dangerous than severe ones. Prompt
ly card all houses where d~lphtheria 10
known to exist, but remember this docs
not constitute all there is Of quarantine.
Members OF the family likely to DO infect
cd must stay at home. Vel members Of
the afflicted household having employment
may continue at the same, provided they
will upon leaving the infected house dis
infect hands, face and hair by using, after
thorough cleansing in water, a | to 1000
solution Of fomaldehyde, and discardiDg
clothes which are worn about the house
for garments kept In q reserved room.
The township trustee will provide supplies
when occasion demands. Under no cir
cumstances permit a public funeral when
death is due to diphtheria. Burials must
take place within twenty hours Of the
death. Physicians aad nndertakers can
carry contagion as well as others ana must
take all reasonable precautions against
doing SO.
Anti. toxin is now established as Q most
rational and efficient remedy and prevent
i've. 1t should be used only in sufficient
quantity, and aseptically, making sure
that the article In hand is fresh and Of
reliable make. An immuniziag or pre-
ventive dose is not to exceed 500 units.
AS 1t is the disease and not the patient
that Is treated the curative dose should be
! 900 TO 1000 units repeated promptly after
six to ten hours IL symptoms demand.
When diphtheria appears in q family, it's
spread may be prevented by immunizing
the unaffected individuals, and this pro-
ceeding Is recommended.

NEW MEXICO has a death valley,
called the tornado plains. The only
vegetation that grows on the desert is
soap weed, and the plant is found in
great abundance, so much so, that in
course of time the roots of the weeds
will be utilized in the production of
wealth in the manufacture of soap, so
that death valley with all its former
horrors that chung to it, will be remem-
bered in the future as the plains Of
vast wealth.

THE young man who advertised fol

The structure OF gold nuggets wal
the subject Of q paper recently read be.
fore the New South Wales Royal socie.
ty by Professor Liverbridge. Among
other facts stated was the popularity OF
such nuggets, On being cut through or
sliced and polished and then etched by
chlorine water, Of exhibiting o well
marked crystalline structure closely re-
sembling the figures shown by most me-
tallic meteorites. On heating such mug
gets in a Bunsen burner blebs or blisters
form on both the polished and nnpol-
ished surfaces, and on still more strong
ly heating these in some cases burst
with sharp reports, and pieces Of gold
are projected with considerable vio-
lence. AS no explosions have been OBJ
served on dissolving or eating away the
crusts Of these blisters by chlorine wa
ter 1t is thought hat the blebs may
probably be due to the evaporization Of
some liquid or solid substance. Further,
in slicing some nuggets, scattered gran
ules Of quartz were met with inside, al
though quite invisible outside. AT first
1t wa supposed that such explosions
might be due to the quartz, but the gas
in some instances continued to issue
from the burst bleb-where the aper-
ture formed was small-and forced the
Bunsen fame out into lateral, just as II
urged by a blowpipe.
