The NayiEAble Rio Grands,


Three men, fond OF adventure, ems
barked at Albuquerque in an open boat
on the raging waters Of the Rio Grande
on the cath OF July for a cruise to Gal.
weston, Texas. They cast anchor of sew
eral different ports on their journey
down, and finally reached the Las Cruces
wharf after fifteen days Of perilOus strug-
giles with the winds and waves. Their
craft was a semi submarine vessel Of six
teen feet In length and four feet over the
bows. Sometimes they were on the sur
face, and sometimes partially submerged
when the depth Of the river would per-
init. The captain reports meeting with
a great many Inconvenience on account
Of the numerous irrigating bitches

stances they had to sprinkle the
bed Of the river to keep the dust out OF
the eyes OF the pilot Finally. they ar.
rived safely at u port, and with some
measure of disgust they sold their vessel
TO the government for a transport, and
had their cargo hauled up TO Johnnie
Mays store. They will proceed from here
by rail. This excursion, in connection
with the ShryOck Bascom expedition last
year, demonstrates, beyond the shadow
OF a doubt, the nayigability Of the Rio
Grande river from kl pasO to Albuquer-

officials anything for placing these facts

That the Spanish populace Is ignorant
is we'll known 10 intelligent Americans,
aud this is the Tact that makes possible
the atrocious misgoyernment and present

this conclusion.

recognized ~ one who had been here the
past year soliciting work, such as solder.
ing and sharpening shears, knives, etc,
carrying his tools on his back, and usu-
ally carrying a bell.
There Is nothing known Of the deceased
except that he was apparently seventy
years Of age. that he lived alone, and was
a native Of Genoa, Italy.
He had evidently killed himself. by sus-
pending a wire from the ceiling, and
after getting upon a table, throwing the
looped end Of the wire over his head, had
jumped oil, his feet touching the floor,
and his hand holding to a rope, which was
also suspended from tho ceiling. As he
had been seen Monday morning, the man
had evidently taken his life about Mon
day evening, a. the body was In an I'd
vanced state Of decomposition when
found. Poverty and dependency were
doubtless the cause Of the rash act.-Las

WOMEN OF SPAIN.


II is quite possible that the women Of
Spain need our missionary efforts as
much a. the women OF Turkey and China.
Omeial reports state that OF the women
OF Spain 100000 are illiterate and have
no desire to be taught anything. They
cannot read and write and never seem to
feel the need. There are over $4,000 reg
istered professional beggars throughout
the land. These women have no other
way OF earning a living and want none.
Nearly a million women OF Spain work
in the field a. day laborers; 100000
women are registered a. day servants
that is, they work for their food and lOdg-
ing. There is no such class anywhere
else.
