The Wrong Man.

Rev. j. T. French had q little ex-
perience at the bridge yesterday, that
he will remember for some time to
come. It seems that some one answer
ing his description had been seen to
load up on the other side preparatory
to returning to United States soil.
Presently Rev. French came over from
J Juarsz' where he had been
just at the time the inspectors figured
the supposed smuggler would come
over. So the inspector had Mr..
French retire to the guard house from
the car on stating that be had 10
duitable goods, and searched him
The cut of the ministerial cloth sue-
gested to the officer that he had bark
ed up the wrong tree, and later on, on
finding nothing of q dutiable natur e,
ascertained he had held a
Methodist preacher. The officer was
profuse in his apologies, explaining
that Mr.. French answered q descrip-
ton sent over of man who was to be
looked out for. and the preacher retir-
ed with broad grin on his counter
ance, taking the adventure as jake.
He assured the inspector that it was
all right, and he had no feeling in the
matter; the officer had merely done his

Narrow z scape.

The Ell Paso Social club came near
getting a black eye last evening in the
board of county commissioners meet
ing when Mr.. Courchesne moved that
the use of the court house for dsncing
be forbidden in the future. AS 1t
CHANGED, w. II. Burgess was in the
room, and he at once came-tO the re-
lief OF the imperilled Social club. Mr..
Courchesne thought Chopin hall wac
sufficient for dancing purposes, and
that the people who invested their
money in that building ought not
to be deprived of opportunities to
realize on their money by
the county g coming into competition
with them. 1t was explained that s.
was paid to the county aud IS more to
the janitor for each dance held aod the
said the dancers burned
$40 worth of gas. Mr.. Burgess offered
to pay anything within reason the
board asked, and to pay the Chopin
hall people to keep quiet and let the
club alone. Judge Falvey was also
present and he had a word to say for
the club and go did Judge Harper. Mr..
Burgess said there was no other place
in the city where such good cloak
room privileges were to be obtained.
Mr. Courchesne withdrew his motion
until the January meeting OF the
board.

Some COMPARISONS.

Some of the acts of the Ell Paso
courts are worthy of ventilation and
from the comparison made the public
can draw their own conclusions. This
morning Mr.. Slinkard who ia working
q gang of Mexicans on the White Oaks
road slapped one of his men because he
| became insulting and abusive. The
man made complaint and Slinkard, a
one-armed man who earns his Twin: by
the sweat OF bis brow was fined IS.
Now for a comparison: Last Monday
a drunken Mexican was pulled up for
fighting and disturbing the peace of a
whole neighborhood. His fine was 81.
Yesterday Officer Ross pulled Alberta
Vargas, whom he caught rolling and
robbing q drunk barber. Vargas is a
| well known vag and bunco man from
Jusrez. Ross saw him with his band
in the barbar's pocket. Influential
friends interceded in.the courts and Var
gas was acquitted. A comparison
less American tramps broke into a
fruit car and rode into town. There
was no evidence that they touched any,
thing in the car; but they we're taken
| to the county jail and all will probably
be sent to the penitentiary. Another
case: A Door Me xican woman who is
trying to make living by running q
restaurant on Overland street has
been troubled great deal lately by
the acts of a young officer, who has
often. been spoken of in the papers. She
wanted to make complaint against
the young officer, but she could fud no
place to lodge the compl amt, eoshe will
have to stand the aggressions of the
young officer until public sentiment
grows strong enough against such acts
to stop all such classes of lawlesness.

DEAR HERALD:-I see that the COM
missiouers' court has taken up the
matter of disseminating dancing In the
court house. l am in favor of such a
move. There is 20 doubt but that the
court house is the best place 10 town to
dance, but fully believe that with the
present building boom going in Ell
Paso, that some one would build a
suitable hall for dancing purposes If
he knew that he would not have the
court house to compete with. 1t is all
very we'll for men to assert that court
houses are used all over Texas for
dancing purposes; such is the casa in
small towns, but growing prosperous
towns the size of FL Paso always have
a suitable hall for dancing, built by
private individuals and they pay taxes
on said property, but they do not have
to compete with the county in renting
their hall out. Stop dancing at the
court house and some one will be glad
to build hall with ell the cnnveDiences
for dancing purposes. FAIRNESS.

BUSINESS AND THE
TARIFF.
Daily Picayune.

Dally t'lcayune.
The Senate is now working earn
estly to get through with the tariff
bill at the earliest possible moment.
Since the sugar schedule was dis
posed of rapid progress has been
made, and it is now probable that
another week will see the bill in a
position to go back to the House of
Representatives for concurrence in
the amendments.
Although some changes may yet
be made in the tariff bill the gen.
eral character of the measure is now
as good as settled, and business
men are able to make their calcula
tons with more certainty. Never
theless, the termination of the long
drawn out debate is anxiously
awaited.
Whatever the ultimate effect of
the Dingley bill may prove it is GER
tain that there will be a revival of
business as soon as it becomes
law, if for no other reason,
at least because of the relief
felt after the long suspense.
Owing to uncertainty as to the
changes to be made in the duties
merchants have restricted their
trading to the smallest possible
limits. With the passage of the
bill things will promptly adjust
themselves to the new conditions,
and the wheels of commerce will
resume their normal motion.
The very fact that trade has lam
guished for SO long is sure to lead
to considerable activity as soon as
the pressure which has restricted
its movements is removed. AL
ready some lines Of business are
showing improvement notably the
