IT is whispered in Washington til at
the true cause of John McLean's am bi-
ton to 60 to the senate is found in mis-
enormous gas and street railway inter
ests in that city. Mr.. Mclean is the
controlling owner in the Washington
Gas Works, whose plant and franchise
are valued at So, 900, 900, and he is
shown by the Washington directory tC
bs one of the directors of a street rail
way company whose capital stock is
Sl2,OOO,OO0. Gas aad railroad privileg
es in the District of Columbia are con.
trolled by congress just as those of q
city are controlled by its common
council. Congress is therefore the
com mon council of the District of Col
umbia, and it is as important for a
man with five or six millions invested
in gas and railroad interests to be for
six years a member of congress as it
would be for man so situated in an
other city to be during that time a
membe of the common council.

Anent Suicide.

\ morbid sentiment regarding sui
eide is certainly on the increase among
| modern nations. The life of our time
| is characterized by over ambition
which must result in discomfort, for
the prizes are few and the contestant 5
almost lnnumerable. Contentment
seems bauished from the face of the
earth. New. ideals of life have arisen:
the man who may not live in luxury,
travel, and mingle with the fortunate
ones of the world on equal terms, con-
siders himself defrauaed. The noble
Christian ideal of patiently bearing
trou BILE, OF accepting the divine will,
dying out. Hence the rise of envy and
its brood of communists and anarchists,
the eager craving for the pOmp and
show Of existence. and the growing
contempt for life of simplicity and
cheerful resignation. Wherever luXu-
ry corrupts nations, suicide increases.
Safety begets an immense wesriness
and h=.n the frequent self destruction
of the rich and powerful. And, too,
! thej pace at which life is carried on
evernates the will, breaks down the
mental power, and so fills the insane
asylums of all modern countries. The
apostles OF simple living, like Tolstoy,
preach to but few disciples: the Spar
| tan ideal of frugality and strenuous
| living has been exchanged for a uni
| versal mollycoddling, and men who
should be in armOr, fighting the big
battle, are lOlling on sofas propped
| with pillows and cursing their luck.
| Not of this mind were the Crusaders,
the hardy Old adventurers who con-
quered the new world, aud the pioneers
OF the white racesin ali lands. The
spirit of man is made robust by conflict
and hardships. Columbus and Daniel
Booth were not mem bers of the Sui
eide Club. Mex. Herald.

Notice to Shippers.
Office of Commercial Agent,


Ell Paso, Texas, Sept. 25, 1897.
1t has been decided by the Southern
Pacific Morgan Line Sunset Route
| Management to withdraw steamers
from the Algiers route and have them
sail direct to and from New York and
Galveston, during the continuance oil
the quarantine restrictions at New
Orleans and vicinity.
All steamers leaving New York sub
sequent to Sept. 18th, will land at
no detention to Sunset route seabOard
business.
For the protection of the interests of
our patrons, we would announce that
restrictions have been promul gated
prohibiting the handling of freight or
iginating in New Orleans, or passing
through that point, either having des-
tination in the state of Texas, or des-
tined to points beyond; therefore, we
would request that for the present no
freight be routed through New Or
leans.
On freight originating in Chicago,
Cleveland, Cincinnati and adjacent ter
ritories, we would solicit routing
through ST. Louis, care Frisco Line,
H. 81 L. @. and Southern Pacific; M. K.
& T., H. & T. @. and Southern Pacific:
G. r. I. & p. h. 81 T. G. and Southern
Pacific: or Burlington. M. K. & T., H.
q T. G. and Souther Pacific.
This does not in any way effect
freight to and from seaboard via Nor
gan ne steamers and Sunset route,
rs same does not pass through New
Orleans.
The post Office department advise
that all mail from New Orleans to Mo-
bile Scranton, Ocean Springs and
other supposed infect districts is fumi-
gated and no danger from that source
is likely to arise.

FIRST LADY OF MEXICO.
She Is the Most Popular Woman in
Our Sister Republic--Type of the
Advanced Spanish American Mat


ron.
Nine. de Diaz, the wife of the Presi-
dent of Mexico, is not only the first
lady of the country, but is the most
popular woman in the republic. Sonora
Dona Carmen Romero Rubio de Diaz
is known among her people, from the
mansions of the rich in the brilliant
capital to the humblest hut on the from
tier, as Carmelita, meaning our little
Carmen" Her popularity ever in
ere ases, for each year sees large num-
Der of good works dispensed by this
generous woman who uses her power to
improve the lot of a long-oppressed and
unhappy people. Nine. Diaz is often
appealed to on behalf of some one or
other sentenced to long Imprisonment
or death. Official pardon is delicate
power for anyone to hold, and the
presidents wife is naturally careful for
! the justice of her case before she goes
! to her lord to plead for executive Glenn
ency. But the president himself is of
! a forgiving nature, and not infrequent-
| ly the pardon is granted. Neither the
| president nor his wife attend the bril-
| liant but brutal bull-tights, and in
/ every way they use their influence
against the degrading spectacle. 1t is
certain that the president will entirely
prohibit them as soon as public senti-
ment gives any hope of upholding his
/ wishes.
"Carmelita" is the second wife OF
/ General PortiriO DaZ, and Is in hel
/ thirty-third year. She stands as type
/ of advanced Spanish American woman
/ hood, and among other accomplish
