Her Happy Infirmity.

He was an angular man with gray ear
whiskers He gave up his seat in the
crowded Car with an alacrity that spoke
well for the chcerlulness of his disposition.
The lady who took the proffered seat was
stout and naughty. She slipped into the
vacant place without word.
The angular man looked at her thought
fully. Then he stopped over and said:
81 had an uncle, ma am, that had just
the same aifiiction.
"Sir!" said the stout lady, with an in
suited toss of her head
Yes, continued the angular man, he
couldn't pronounce any word beginning
with tn to save his blessed neck. That's
right. He'd stutter and stammer, and the
best he could do would be TO give it the
sound of S.. 1t was dreadful atf1iction.

but he always called him Sophilus. Had
it long, ma ann"
The stout lady was dark red from yex-
alton.
''You are insulting, she snorted.
"Well, don't wonder you hate to have
anybody refer to it, said the angular man,
with great cheerfulness. but l couldn't t
help noticing it when you took my seat
and wasn't able to say Thank YOU. I
wouldn't have minded in the least if you d
said Sank you. Oh, do you get off here?
Good day, ma Never mind the
thanks"
And the stout lady founced down the
street to take the next car.-Cleveland

THE proposition for railroad from Ell
Paso to White Oaks, NJ M, seems to be
in fair way for consummation. A party
of eastern capitalists composed princi-
pally of wealthy coal miners of Pennsyl-
vania, have been examining the resources
along the proposed route of this line ac-
oompanied by Mr.. G. B. Eddy, and they
have expressed themselves as confident
that such road would pay from the
start. They are enthusiastic over the
coal possibilities of the region to be trav-
ersed, and the trip has been prolific of
surprises for the easterners in many re-
spects. They will go home favorably i'm
pressed with the country at all events,
and without doubt the impression gath
cred on this trip will be the means of
Fastening the construction of this line
which will mean great deal for the de-
velopment of southern New Mexico.

THE DENVER NEWS.

The Rocky Mountain News celebrated
Its 3sth anniversary on Friday last by is
suing an illustrated supplement for its
regular edition, containing complete
history of that journal from it's first issue
on April 49, 1859, down to the present
time. The paper was founded by Messrs.
Byers and Daley aad first issued as six
column folio sheet printed on 22x3l pa
per. The Office was log cabin on
Eleventh street just north of Holiday in
west Denver. Byers and Daley remained
in possession until November l, 1871,
when Mr.. Daley sold his interest to Mr..
William N. Byers who continued sole
owner until he incorporated stock com
pany in May 5, 1877. On July 16, 1878,
W. A. H. Loveland purchased and became
owner of all the stock. On June IA, 1880,
Mr.. John Atkins purchased one-tourth of
the stock and became vice president and
general manager of the company. March
2, 1886, Messrs. Maurice Atkins and
James NJ. Burnell Joined Mr.. John Ar
kins in acquiring all of the stock and be
came equal owners. On August 5, 1890,
Mr.. 7. M. Patterson became the owner of
the interest Of Maurice Atkins, deceased,
aud James M. Burnell. The entire
stock of the paper is now owned two
thirds by Mr.. 7. NJ. Patterson, one third
by the heirs of John Atkins, deceased-
Mrs. Louisa Atkins ana Mr.. E. G. Atkins.
On March 27 last the News moved into it's
handsome new quarters at the corner of
the finest newsnanar Affi~A "nat of tho
Mississippi river. With this move the
paper added to its equipment three
decker straight line Scott press which
can do almost everything but think. 1t
prints 2,400 II page papers in an hour,
and pastes, counts and folds the papers
automatically. Improved processes were
also at this time introduced in the stereo-
typing department, aud photo engrav-
ing establishment added.
The News came in pioneer days, and the
story of it's development is the story of
Colorado's advancement from collection
of shanties on Cherry creek to great
metropolis. The News is great news
paper, and true and able exponent of
the interests of the entire Rocky noun
tain region. 1t is progressive, honest
and conservative, and in the matter Of
enterprise and news it is one of the best
in the fair city of Denver, whose develop
ment aud prosperity it has ably cham
pioned from the beginning.

The VIEWS QE A SluThERNER.

Southerners have often bitterly lament
ed the fact that all of this country's really
able historians have been men of north
ern birth and education, and unable to
duced the rebellion and the men who
took Leading part in it. At last book
marked literary ability, and it is almost
pathetic to see how his work is regarded
by the southerners. 1t is more offensive
than any of its predecessors. The author
is Professor William Trent of the Uni
versity of the South and the extracts
from the book do indeed read strangely,
considering that they come from 500
of the Old Dominion aud an instructor Of
southern youth. For instance, he says of
the -bellum southern leaders: "In-
stead of blaming these men, let us pity
them. Let US remember that history
teaches us that all abuses die hard, that
the worst and most foolish causes have
often the most honest and brave defend
ers." jefferson Davis is called "a fanatic
worshipping fetich," aud is referred to
as one who "lost his imaginary country
at Appomattox, just where the new gen
Grafton of southerners have found real
one." Ia these last words is to be found
the explanation of Professor Trent's
work and of the anger it will excite. He
is only 33 years old, and for him the old
south is not memory but legend.

Carlisle, with his son as first assistant in

but many of his subordinates were busy

but Mr.. Carlisle acted in the open, and
the party machine he organized under
his authority as secretary has been
dumped upon Secretary Gage, who will
doubtless know what to do with it or
with any other sham prepared for his de-
ception. 1t is his duty to advance real
civil service, and one way to do it is to
