Nor more than 100000 Moham-
medans owe territorial allegiance to
the sultan of Turkey, but, as the re-
puted head of Islam, he is the religious
master of the MOhammedan population
OF every county, now numbering close
to 100000, 900. OF these 90, 900, 900 are
subjects of the Queen of England as
empress of India, and 100000 are
subjects of the emperor of China. But
a command from the sultan of Turkey.
as head of the church, is regarded as
the earthly voice of the prophet Ma
hommed, founder of the faith, and has
precedence over all mere territorial
potentates. Each individual Moslem
considers it as much his sacred duty to
''war against the intldel" as does the
average Arkansaw ecclesiastic, and if
the sultan's agents should announce to
the 500, 900 or 600, 600 fanatical pilgrims
now assembled about the sacred well
at Mecca that al Moslems were want
ed to aid him in making war against
infidel Europe, Turkey could soon swell
her army TO proportions equal to the
combined armies OF any. two first class
powers in Europe. OF ali the nations
in Europe Russia appears to be the
only one keenly alive to this danger.

The Best Remedy for Rheuma tism.

From the Fairhaven, IN. 7 Register,
Mr. James Rowland of this village,
states that for twenty-five years his
wife has been a sufferer from rheuma-
tism. A few nights ago she was in
such pain that she was nearly crazy.
She sent Mr., Rowland for the doctor,
but he had read of Chamberlain's Pain
Balm and instead of gong for the phy-
stefan he went o the store and secured
a bottle of 1t. His wife did not approve
of Mr.. Rowland's purchase at first, but
nevertheless applied the balm thor
ougnly and in hours time was able to
go to sleep. She now applies it when
ever she feels an ache or a pain ard
finds that it always gives relief. He
says that no medicine which she had
used ever did her as much good. The

The Fort Bliss band under Lieuten-
ant Wurm gave an enjoyable band con
cert on the plaza last evening where
the following program was given:
Overture, Fra Diavalo: selections,
opera William Tell; Austrian Nation
al Hymn, with Hydn's variations;
patriotic medley: waltz, Hydropaten
The concert lasted one hour and was
deservedly we'll received. The band
played with agreeable precision, the
attack was excellent, and so was the
expression. The clarlnets were too
much on the ''pp' reed parts of the
overture, and the effect of their special
work was lost. However, the general
excellence made up for this, and Band
master Wurm has reason to feel proud
of his command. The William Tell
selection was a genuine treat, espec al
ly as it had never been played in Ell
Paso before.

The other two robberies were at the
same house, 2l5 Sonora street. J. J.
Barr and A. l.. Cressep live there and
the burglars took away all their car
penter tools and left them without tools
to work with.
The two robberies on Magoffin
avenue were committed by the same par
ties as the footprints around the house
showed that one of the burglars had
shoes on while the other was barefoot
ed and had very large feet. They en-
tered the houses by the front door and
even went into the rooms where par
ties were sleeping, and in those rooms
it was where they took the property
The same thing occurred on Sonora
street, but there was nothing to show
that the same parties committed these
robberies.
The police are working on slight

robbers.

AN exchange finds new beauty or
utility in the curfew law requiring
children under sixteen to be indoors
ana after O'Clock at night. The ex-
change says THE law is good thing
in its way, because it prevents the boys
from finding out what their fathers do
at night, and prevents wives learning
through the indiscreet utterances of
their sons, that their husbands are in
the habit of going up against some very
hot games of poker"
