El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1897-04-26

Sundays gentle zephyrs was breeze
for your whiekers.
The Ell Paso cur had no chance yes
terday TO feed on the veal of the cyclist
The nigh wind cut him off from his
usual Sunday meal.
A contrivance has been invented for
cyclists called the retrOscOpe, a small
| instrument designed to enable riders,
when mounted, 20 see what is behind
them by means of a diminishing mir
rOr, where everything is seen in mi
mature. Weighing only a few ounces,
the retroscope is affixed to the right
projects q few inches. This facility
for looking backward gives the rider
| a chance to ride side ways when he
sees the dog is coming.
1t now develops that some of the ma
| chine workers in the late election could
not find voters for all the registration
certificates in their possession and
that large batch of these certificates
are left in their possession.
The Office seekers and their cappers
fail to arouse any partiZan feeling in
the election contest and are sore be-
cause sensible people would not listen
to their wall.
The Australian base ball team will
be through Ell Paso next month and
arrangements are being made for them
to play here against picked nine on
the Sth and 9th. The boys had a prac-
tice game yesterday with members of
e,
park.
The Monady Graphic is the name of
a new paper that has just made its
appearance.
Now that the lawyers in the contest
ed election case have quit arguing the
weather has become quite cool.
There is an opening in the El Paso
journalistic field for Sunday after
noon paper. Who wants to fill the
breech?
Several of Ell Paso's young ladies with
new bonnets respectfully petition the
weather clerk to let them have one
good, quiet Sunday in which to show
their goods before the season is over.
All the Sundays of late are windy and
blustery.
Manager Hanlon of the Baltimore |
baseball club is not in sympathy with |
the new anti-coaching rule adopted by |
the league. This crusade against
coaching is entirely unnecessary" said |
he recently. without coaching the |
game would be so dead that there |
would be plenty of empty ben hes in a
short time l do not believe that play |
ers should use foul language or indulge |
in senseless kicking to delay the game,
but [ see no reason why base runners
should not be encouraged by men on
the side lines in proper manner"
Base ball unpires receive too much
sympathy. They are generally to
blame for all the troub es on the field.
There are rules to protect them, but
unless they are enforced they are of no
use. An umpire who is courageous,
and there are sOne or two here about
will enforce order and discipline with
out much trouble. But man who gets
ratified and is afraid of the players
should re GIVE no defense for his fail
ure to succeed.
The ways of the ward heeler are
finding g him out, and the rottenness of
the Ell Paso election machine has be-
come a stencil in the nostrils of Ell Pa
so citizens.
There is some talk of an internation-
al dam across the Rio Grsnde near
about the smelter. Big government
schemes take long time to get ripe.
The river is now running banks full,
and it is well for those living on the
flats in the southeastern portion of
town to take some precautions against
the damage done by high water.
Last night the river rose about
about two inches and reports from the
head waters Of the river indicate that
there is mora snow in the mountains
than there has been for several years.
The river will have to rise about four
feet to be up to the high water mark of |
two years ago, but if 1t rises two feet |
it Will cover the fiat east of the Slant on
street bridge.
Those of the slated office seekers un-
der Judge Magoffin can now go to work
at their old business-if they have any.
The lot of the Ell Paso office seeker is |
becoming hard and his path is strewn
with sharp pointed tacks.
J. d. Milton's pretty phiz is once |
more seen on the streets. Milton's face !
is mild and pleasant to look upon, but |
his grasp of his friends hand is of iron. |
