To the Editor of the New Mexican:
Santa Fe, N. NJ, May 8.-Desiring to
correct statement which appeared in the
NEW MEXICAN of yesterday, will say
that am at present unable to rebuild
and must depend upon our book accounts
to even begin business in small way.
All that we saved from the fire is our
journal of accounts upon which our
hopes for the future depend. Out of this
amount we must first meet our indebted
ness. In fact we have been 80 prostrated
both in body and mind that we have not
formulated any definite plan as to the fu-
ture. Our plans must be limited by our
ability to collect our accounts outstand-
ing. We believe many of our creditors
will come to our rescue. In fact many
have already done 80 both by their means
and sympathy, for which We are indeed
grateful.
We intend to open up in small way.
Our stand will not be so nice. Our stock
will not be so large, hut can and will be
Just as good. We shall strive to please
all who give us their patronage. We be-
lievp in Santa Fe. We believe in the peo
pie of Santa Fe. And whether we are
ever able to rebuild on our former stand
depends upon the good people of SAINTS

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
The Condition of the Capitol Grounds.

To the Editor of the New Mexican.
Santa Fe, NM, May 81 have read your
structures in yesterdays New MEXICAN on
the capitol custodian committee.
Permit to say, that this committee has
had no funds whatever for three years.
One of the members of the commission,
Mr.. Sol. Spiegelberg, has paid some
necessary expenses out of his own pocket,
but could get no reimbursement from the
territory.
The city authorities should look after
the grounds, should keep the gates closed
and instruct the city policeman to keep
stock from running at large within the
enclosure.
And now as the capitol committee has
funds at it's disposal the matter of saving
the valuable trees in the enclosure and
watering the grass plots should be looked
after by the committee, and agree fully
with the New MEXICAN, that there is no
time to be lost, if the trees and grass are
to be saved.
The city authorities and the capitol re-
building commission should act promptly
and energetically in the matter.

Lost Money by a Raise.

1t Is very seldom that man suffers
remorse because of raise in his sal
airy, but sometimes he does, strange as
1t may appear.
During the latter period of the boom
days in Birmingham, Ala, the reaction
from the wild speculation there had set
in, and those who were left "to hold
the bag" were knocking their knees in
palsied fear of the impending collapse,
which meant their ruin.
The Herald was then publishing a
metropolitan paper at big loss to
somebody. 1t blew sixteen pages of
wind into the waning boom every day,
doubling the resusctant with thirty
two page bellows on Sundays. The

fact. or course, every week found Il
new staff of reporters, with one eXcep-
ton, Tony" Smith, who managed to
squeeze part of his weekly stipend
from the business office. He would
KICK and then quit, about every other
week. The managing editor, however.
would get him back by few dollars
cash and Il raise Of salary, to placate
his feelings, since he was u good man
and queer genius.
In about eight weeks the Herald went
to the wall, and finally into other
hands, Smith being creditor to the
amount of about $500.

The multiplex printing telegraph. in
vented by Prof. Henry A. Rowland. of
the Johns Hopkins University, Balti-
more, will soon be put upon the mar
ket. BY the instrument an operator
can transmit n telegram written upon
a typewriter and have it reproduced in
typewriter form at the receiving end.
In addition to the typewriting part of
the invention, DR.. Rowland, with his
new machine, can send over the same
wire five or six different messages at
the same time in one direction, which.
in duplex, makes ten or twelve mes
sagcs that can be transmitted on the
same wire Mt the same time. Thus
with five operators at each end of n
line, sending each an average of thirty
words n minute 800 words can be
transmitted each minute. DIR. Row.
land inquired at the Patent Office In
Washington, and was informed That
no such invention has ever been receiv-
ed there, typewriting telegraphy hav-
ing been attempted before. but upon
entirely different principles. He has
used a synchonous device in his inycn-
ton. and in the mechanical arrange
ment of the typewriter has used but
eight combinations The current OF
electricity transmitting the message
can be relayed, and in this manner the
Invention can be operated for great
distances. When completed Dr. Row
land says, the new instrument will be
us convenient and as easily operated as
the ordinary telegraphic dispatching
and receiving apparatus.

Many stories are told of DR.. Cad
Hitchcock, who was minister in Penn
broke, Mass, before and during revolu-
tionary times. He was noted for his
patriotism and the fearless expression
Of his views when opportunity offered.
He was chaplain in the army at one
time, and preached many a stirring ser
mon TO the men.
The first sermon he published was ad.
dressed to a military company at the
time when the French were making in
roads on the northern frontier The
year before the breaking out Of the rev.
olution he preached his famous "Elcc-
ton Sermon" which reused Gov. Care
TO great wrath, and struck even the
minister's stanchest friends as Had
vised. 1t is said that when Doctor
Hitchcock wrote it, the Governor was
not expected to be in the audience at
the time of its delivery.
When it was found that he was there
one Of the minister's friends suggested
that a slight modification of some of
the strong expressions in the sermon
would perhaps be advisable; but Dr.
Hitchcock was of another mind.
MY sermon is written" he calmly
said, land it will not be altered
On his journeyings to and from Bos-
ton he usually fell into conversation
with any one with whom he was
thrown. One day he Travelled to Bos-
ton in company with a sailor Of whom
he asked many questions as to his
name, residence, habits and tastes.
At last the sailor began questioning
in his turn: "What is your name?r he
asked.

THE AMERICAN HORSE.
He Finds Favor in Several Foreign
Countries.

rrhere has been remarkable increase
T., tho avnort of horses from the United
States during the last few years, writes
" Il Curtis to the Chicago Record.
In 1893 the total number shipped TO
foreign countries was only 2,90' IN
1904 II increased to 5,246, in 1898 TO
II o4S. in 1896 to %, 1875, and during the
first six months of the present hscal
wear. ending Dee, 81, the total was 49,
o3o. so that if the same proportion Is
continued during the remaining SIX
months the total for the year VIII be
99 AGA. Nearly half the entire exports
in 1896 went to Great Britain, the exact
number being 12,022; but it is believed
that 900 or more additional were sent
through Canada, the exports to the DO
minion being 5,305 horses. The trade
with Great Britain in horses has shown
n remarkable increase, for in 1898 the
total exports were only 564 head. The
increase in exports to Germany was
even greater. Notwithstanding the laws
of that country, which are very annoy
ing to importers of live stock and quite
expensive. In 1893 we shipped only
thirty-three horses to the German en-
pire. In 1896 we shipped 3,6S6.
Among other countries now receiving
American horses is Belgium, which i'm
ported none in 1898, and 1,134 in 1896.
France took very few, only 307. Italy
bought one of our horses in 1893, two in
1894, three in 1895 and four in 1896.
We sent 0S7 to Mexico last year, and a
good many to the West India Islands,
with the exception of Cuba, where,
strange to say, we sold none at all. Two
American horses went to Japan, four
to China, one to Samoa and one to
Africa.
New York is the largest horse market
both for the export and the domestic
trade, but good many are shipped
from Baltimore. Exports of mules
have increased in corresponding ra-
ito, the number for the last few years
being as follows: 1893, 1854; 1894,
2,0G3; 1895, 2,515; 1896, 5,01S and for
the first six months of the present fiscal
year, 1854.
SO far as the Department of Agricul-
ture is aware there has been no special
effort on the part of American horse
breeders to extend their foreign trade.
The growth has been natural and the
result Of low prices in this country.
