El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1897-06-03

Had in malice struck her down.
Thrown aside her dainty crown.
Left her in the street alone,
Heart to heart with paving stone.
She so young aud sweet and fair,
Creature of purer air.
Light of heme; the radiant CLEAN
OF fathers dearest dream.
Sunshine was but shadow while
Friends could linger in her smile.
Fell she from her proud estate,
Fell as by the hand IF fate;
Heart to heart with paving stone,
Cast into the street alone,
By a COMPOUNDED old safety bicycle.
Two days ago the HERALD offered
fund for the assistance of the needy
sufferers from the flood. Since III n
all classes of people have called to get
for widows and orphans and no one
with a man in the family or that has
girl or woman in it Old enough
to work can get 1T. In
some Instances the fund has
been drawn on, while in others the
parties have been refused because on
investigation it was shown that there
were several able bodied memoe ia
the family that could work if they
wanted to.
The HERALD Office is no junk shop
and there is no need of bring .ng olu
clothes here to baud over to tue flood
sufferers. The cite committee can
attend to that line OF business.
In a family quarrel that got into toe
Justices court yesterday the evidence
adduced showed IN the quarrel over tue
back fence one of the PAL ties had SAID:
"You folks are geLLlng awful h ga
toned now, amt you, since you began
taking the HERALD:"
A scandal was untapped last week in
which married man, an irate VIE
and u yOung glrl were tue central fig
ureS. For the sake of harm ony 10 the
family the matter has beed hushed up,
but the young girl has ceased to visit
the house and the wife is now running
things her own way.
Some of the night police have been
making things Lively for those who de-
Uberately commit nu lsances on the
public streets and the public would b.
surprised sif some of the name s
of those arrested for that otfense were
published. Let the police go ahead
with the good work.
How anxious people are to see a first
class legal hanging. They even want
to see the tiend who ran away with
girl from the other side of the river
strung up. Expense is no object in
hi Ia, r.
the show. AS a fitting end for the ro-
nance the girl will prob oily marry the
william before he hangs.
Mexican Consul Mallen is SUPPLY ing
many of the flood sufferers, who are
citizens of the southern repu bile, with
nee ssaries of life and in some in
stances is furnishing the needy with
free transportation to their homes in
the republic. Mr.. Mallen is not max
ing any loud noise but is doing a lot of
good work.
1t would be far better to use the
money received from the state for the
flood sufferers in some work where a
large number of people could be em-
ployed than to give il out prOmiscuous-
~ to applicants. By creating work
only the deserving would receive the
aid.
1t will be an utter impossibly for
those who have the flood fund in
charge to select the "chatf from the
grain" Of course there are many
cases where widows and orphans have
been INJURED by the flood and as there
is no man in the family these people
would not receive any aid by iusti,ut-
ing public works. These people need
the aid and they should receive it.
Those who are able to work should be
given employment.
The attention of the HERALD has
been called to a certain politician who
is trying Ito ct aid from the flood
fund for the mother of his mistress and
her family, none of whom were 10 ur-
ed by the flood. The.cas, is that of IA
Mexican woman who has four daught-
ers large enough to work, and oLe of
whom is the N iStreSs OF the politician,
but none of the family will WORK now
that they know the fund is TO be dis
tributed and they have friend of the
family who has a pull The state
never donated the flood fund for the
support of certain politicians mis-
tresS.
SIT will be late this year before
there will be a subscription taken
to furnish music in the park. For
the last month the people of FL Paso
have had to deal w To more difficult
problem than that of what kind of
music shall be play ed by the band in
the park" said a prominent citizen
this morning.

terday against the playing Of popular
music 10 the park by he band, said
citizen this morning who always sub
snow ! think the band should play
