A TROLLEY PARTY.

San Antonio Fruit and Flower Mission
Gives it's Second Affair.
The San Antonio Fruit and Flower
Mission gave a very pleasant trolley
ride over the Alamo Heights line last
night which was well attended by a
large number, especially young people,
all of whom were delighted with the
affair.
The car, carrying three trailers, left
the postoffice promptly at $3.50 o'clock
and made the run to the heights where
an hour was taken for refreshments
after which the return to the city
was made and another trip to the
heights taken, this time without any
stop at either terminus.
Refreshments were plentiful and ice
cream, cake and lemonade went beg
ging," as the saying goes. There were
two string bands along which furnish
ed music on the cars and during the
Irefreshment intervals. The three Ais
ton boys, Joe, James and Jesse, color
ed, amused the young folks With plen-
ty of banjo and guitar music and typ
| ical coon songs.
The affair was managed and worked
up by Messrs. ]. M. Zook and S. Shan
cock, assisted by the association COM
mfttee: Mr.. Kersey; Geo. Bass, Ger
hard Soarz; Geo. Snodgrass, Edward
Fugua, Mr.. Miller, Mr.. Filbert and Mis-
ses Fugua, Gum, Hill and Turner.
The street car service was excellent
and personally looked after by the COM
pany superintendent, Mr.. Hume, who
saw the car had the right way over
the track, all other cars beng switch
ed off for it.

President Heuermann received a tel

President Heuermann received tel
egram from Pierce Chiles yesterday,
stating that he is still holding the Den
ison team together. Although news
paper dispatches say that deal has
been closed, transferring the Denison
team to Waco, President Heuermann,
up to this morning, had not received
official notice of such deal. He said,
however, that he expected that Waco
would take Denison's place.
AS the schedule expires August %,
1t is believed that Waco could sup
port the team very nicely until then,
as the Denison aggregation is one of
the best teams in the state and is at
present in the lead.

Eleven hits is what the Bronchos got
off DOC" Godell at Fort Worth yes
terday, and of these Weber, Bailey,
Stanley and Valdois got doubles, Keefe
and Valdois triples and Herbert home
run, while Kohnle, Weber and Her.
bert got singles. That is what the
Bronchos did with the bat yesterday.
But they didn't win. Their errors
were too numerous and costly,six mis-
plays being charged to them. Well,
the Painters had little feast on Geo.
Keefe. Thirteen hits is what they
gagged our southpaw for, and GodeIl's
support was perfect, with two excep-
lions.
Now, while all this is going on, don't
let your mind run on and think that
Your Uncle Mike is sitting near the
water keg, holding his sore arm and
bemoaning his hard luck.
Not Mike O'Connor.
He's hustling along on the field in
jecting doses of Bronchorian ginger
into the boys, and they, are responding
nobly. ,.r
Working like heroes-everyone of
them-for they are going to yank that
rag for tie second time.
And Mr.. Umpire is as honest as he
ever was. We are not winning because
the other side is making more runs.
But wait till O'Connor corrals anoth-
er Broncho. There are only ten in
the herd since Win Clark has become
Colonel" and Mike is after one
more. If there is anything loose
around these pastures that can trot
with the herd tip it off to Mike, but it
must be hot enough to burn hole in
a blanket-if not it goes to Yewstn-
for that will be warm enough for a
Buffalo.

oh, those Senators are as wonderful
as the Texas Legislators. They have
played games which were as pretty as
a babes smile, but yesterdays exhibit
ton was more like wrinkled maids
frown on rainy down. SiA-to-noth-
ing for Austin in the second inning, and
then Dallas starts in on Drinkwater,
and with ten well developed errors by
the Senatorial in-and-outfield accumu-
late twenty-seven runs, twenty-three
hits for total of thirty-three bases.
And only six earned runs out of this
lot. There were four double plays, and
it took two hours and half to finish
the game, during which time there
were fifty-four Dallas men at the bat
and only thirty-four of Austin. That's
record breaker anyway you take it.

DIPLOMATS IN A DILEMMA.

/. is generally supposed that to be the
foreign representative of most any gov.
ernment is, in popular vernaouar "a soft
snap" and such positions are eagerly
sought for in the courts of kingdoms as
well as in the republic of the United
States. Visions of dinners, balls, reoep-
tions, power, honor, and glory float
around in tbs brain of the applicant, and
the successful candidate hies himself to
the most fashionable tailor of his ao-
qusintance and forthwith orders an array
OF suits suitable for the various and va
ried occasions which he hopes to grace
with his presence.
But there is another side to the dpo-
matte service which is not often pre-
sented to view, that is not so pleasant or
80 alluring. pitiful tale comes from
two different European courts, that the
representatives of Turkey are hard up,
suffering for food and no longer attend
public functions for the lack of suitable
clothes. II these unfortunate diplomats
we're American citlzens they would SIM
ply resign, come home and go to work.
But they dare not do that. The sultan
has an unpleasant habit of beheading the
members of his diplomatic corps when
they return to their native land before
they are sent for, and therefore they are
with difficult problem. If
'hey resign and return to Turkey, off
'ome their heads; if they remain at their
posts, they will die slowly and surely of
starvation.
Under the circumstances it is some

NEW MExlC0'S DEVELOPMENT.
from the Denver Republican.


There has undoubtedly been great re
yival of interest in mining in New Mexico
Many Colorado men have gone into tha
territory attracted by the good discoveries
of mineral that have been made, and they
are developing some properties into
producing mines.
New Mexico has extensive mineral re
sources, both in gold and silver. 1t has
besides large deposits of copper and ex
tensive beds of coal. Its coal is both
anthracite and bituminous. But in very
few cases have these resources been de-
veloped in way to add largely to either
the population or the wealth of the terri
tory. Circumstances have been against
the development of New Mexico, but it is
expected that In the near future there
will be change in this respect for the
better.
Ooe great obstacle in the way uf New
Mexico's growth has been the extensive
land grant claims, covering thousands of
acree, upon which no one would make
permanent improvement, because of the
danger that the title would prove defeo.
tive. But the land grant court has been
in session long enough already to have
uiePoeeu VI uhuy VI tuoeo RrHnt Cl6lm6
Some of them are pending in the Supreme
court of the United States, but it is prob
able that in a great majority the decision
of the lower court will be affirmed. That
will put an end to most OF the confusion
aud uncertainty concerning titles which
has grown out of the grant claims. In
the case Of confirmed grants the owners
will be able to give title, and in case Of
those that have been rejected the title
will be obtalnable from the government
There is little doubt that when this OBJ
stacle is removed there will be a greater
disposition to buy New Mexican land, and
that will lead to more rapid settlem ent
of the country.
The climate is so delightful that IL has
become famous throughout the Union for
its healthfulnees. 1t closely resem bles
the Colorado climate, except that IL is
somewhat warmer. Horticulture is an
industry which is receiving attention, and
the success already achieved insurss it's
continued development. Altogether, New |
Mexico has much to attract hom kers,
and it will undoubtedly receive q large
increase 10 population a. soon as the |
(poked-for western movement OF populs- |
thp begins, and which there 10 some res.

RUNNING FINELY.
That Is the Report Made by the Man
agement OF the sugar Factory.

The sugar factory ia making fine run
This is the consensus of opinion. Ey.
erything has worked smoothly, and as a
result the sugar is rolling out. About
1900 tons of beets have been received up
to date, and the average number of tons
ground daily tally about 100. From 300
to $50 bags of sugar are being turned out
regularly every "a hours. Only one car
Of the sweet product has been shipped
out 80 far, and the result is storeroom
piled high with sacks of sugar.
The sopply of beets has been equal to
the demand of the factory, but if the un
interru pied ran continues it may be neoes-
sary to shut down for few days to wait
for an accumulation of the tubers.
The beets continue to average most
satisfactorily, both IN percentage of sugar
and in purity.--Eddy Argus.

PROPOSED AUTONOMY FOR CUBA.

The proposed autonomy to be granted
by Spain to Cuba has at last been mad,
public, and under its provisions it il
somewhat difficult to see that any favors
or CONCESSIONS are made to that island.
1t provides for parliament or con.
gress OF two houses, one of representa-
tives and an administration council of IS
members, Is to be elected and II to be
appointed by the Madrid government.
OF course the qualifi cations of the mem.
bers are prescribed, and seem fair enough,
but there is string tied to the conces-
sioE which damns the whole arrangemen ent.
Spain reserves the right to appoint a
governor general who has the power to
overrule any and all actions of the con-
gress, and can dissolve that body at any
time he sees fit. The governor general
is moreover to exercise supreme com-
mand of the island and have free power
to nominate officials and appoint secre-
taries.
If Spain is building any hopes to end
the war on this manner of dealing with
the Cubans it might as well abandon any
and all probabilities of settling the
troubles on the island at once. The re-
forms so long promised in matters CON
cerning the island of Cuba, to this coun-
try, it based upon the propositions con-
tanned in the royal decree issued on Sat.
urday, are promises without any hope of
a betterment of the condition of the |
island. Under the proviso concerning

ever possible in the past, and
the men at the head of the Cuban forces
know it full we'll. The whole matter re-
solves itself into scheme to gain more
time in which to exterminate a people
who have been deceived by spacious
promises time after time in the past, and
Who are now determined to enjoy liberty
or suffer death in the struggle.

If dealing with the Cubans in fair
manner and humanity demands that this

control and personal liberty of the

'ecome reproach in every country in

Mark Twain and the Missionary.

Mark Twain once attended missionary
meeting in Hartford at which a mission
ary made an address. After listening to
the agonizing story of suffering Mark
Twain said to himself: "For Gods sake,
send that plate around, SO that can pour
my sympathy into it. I'll give you these
four 500 bills, and if can get piece of
paper III write check for something
more. can very well spare little money
for cause like that" But the lecturer
went on talking, and as he talked Twain's
enthusiasm calmed. "And when tho mis-
sionary had been talking for half an hour"
he continues, ~ had saved one of those
bills, and when he had talked five minutes
more two of those bills were mine again,
and when he had been talking an hour I
had won all four back, and, by gosh, when
he finally did send that plate round bor-
rowed 10 cents out of it to pay my car fare
home. '-Argonaut

The Santa Fe NEW MEXICAN is vigor-

Bergman, the most efficient superin-
tendent that ever managed the Nav Mex.
ican penitentiary. When this change is
made, the last gallant ex Union soldier
holding Office in this territory will have
been rslegated to private life, where those
who wore the blue in the trying times of
1861 will probably remain the balance
OF their limited years.-Raton Range.
II an ex-Union soldier prostitutes his
office he should be 'rslegated to private
life." Mr.. Bergman has failed to dis.
charge the duties of superintendent in
satisfactory manner, and the fact of his
being an old soldier should not shield him.

To be modest, sweet and chaste,
And adorn her perfect figure

Whove achieved immortal fame.
