The sun., 1898-12-10


The opportunities Of the public at large
to vote for the man of their choice for
United States Senator are conspicuous
for their absence.
The Sun offers an opportunity for
everybody to express an opinion as to
who is the best man to represent the
interests of the Diamond State in the
councils of the nation.
This is an opportunity that has never
before been accorded to the people of
any State within the history OF the
nation.
The plan is simple.
Fill out the coupon at the head OF this
column and send it to THB SUN. We pub
lish the number of votes received by each
candidate every day in order to keep the
voters posted.
THE Sun also makes this offer: The
winner in this contest has the privilege
of naming any charity in the State to be
the recipient of one hundred dollars,
which will be paid to the said charity by
THE Sun.
The contest will continue until the
first ballot is taken in the Legislature.
There is no law or requirement which
makes it necessary for you to sign your
name to your ballot, thoug we would
rather You would. They will be counted
Just the same, however, if you do not
wish your opinions known.
Send in your ballot and help win that
500 for some deserving charity.
All votes credited to each contestant
do not necessarily represent all the votes
received for each contestant. They
; merely represent those that are counted
up to IL midnight of the day preceding.
Being crowded for space The Sun will
hereafter only print the names of Sena-
torial contestants who have reached the
1900 mark during the week. On Sun.
days, however, The Sun in its edition Of
that day will publish the names OF an

Two Clever Riders

who rode down the capital steps at
Washington, year or more ago,
accompanied by George Phillips,
another clever rider, made their
appearance in town this morning,
aud gave an exhibition on Pixies
Peak avenue at l o'clock. The
riding done by both men was
splendid, each in his line, but
Rube capped the climax by riding
down the stairs over the Palace
drug store, We understand that
he gives another exhibition this

POUNCE UPON OUR DEWEY

New York, June 10-A cable
despatch to the World from Cadil

about Admiral Montijo having
gradually sent out of Manila the
crews of his destroyed ships in
order that they might take posses
sion in Chinese port of three
powerful armored cruisers which
will suddenly pounce upon the
American feet at Manila.
1t is further stated that the

Washington, June 10-The
greatest secrecy is being maintain

troops in Cuba. While it is stated
from some quarted that over
10000 troops have sailed and will
reach Santiago at the latest by
Sunday, with equal persistence
Others insist that the expedition
is still waiting for larger vessels
to convoy them ON account of the
alleged appearance of several
Spanish warships. The first posi-
tive knowledge of this movement

Marshal Sqayres was in de-
lima this morning. He found a
little girl wandering aimlessly
around on Seventh street and upon
inquiry found that her name was

near a family by the name of

About six weeks ago the little
girl was out at the graveyard with
some flowers when, as she was
strewing some upon grave, a dog
suddenly jumped upon her biting
her upon the face and hand. She
was brought home, medical aid
summoned and the wounds healed
up nicely and she seemed to be all
right again. Wednesday, however,
she seemed acting somewhat queer
and yesterday was quite sick. Last
evening medical aid was again
summoned and the little one pro-
nounced hopelessly i'll with hydro
phobia. Drs, Stephenson and
Sheridan did all in their power to
allay her suiferings, and she died
at / O'Clock this morning. The
funeral services will be held at the
family residence on Third street
at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning,
Rev. Graham officiating. The
parents have the sympathy of the
entire community.

The Cake-Walk

Last evening a most enjoyable
social event occurred in the shape
of an old time down south" cake
walk given by Mrs, Bettis, at Kel-
lars hall. There were four couples
as contestants for the cake, black
ened up and habited as negroes
"shoo' nuff."
AT about $50 numbers were
drawn by the buck nigge rs for
place, and the music started up
and Clyde Thomas ana Miss Mil
Ter started upon their journey
around the hall, and although it
was not long journey it took
them considerable time to com
plete it.
Next came Master Robert Belts
with little Gladys Patterson, who
for ones so young went through
their actions in manuer pleasing
to behold.
The third couple was the prize
couple and took the cake" with
eese. 1t was Win Humphrey and
Mrs. Stewart, both of whom were
costumed for the occasion in loud
clothing. They both walked so
straight that they bent backward,
and acted the cake-walk darkies to
perfection. They were applauded
to the echo.
The fourth and last couple to
participate in the walk was Victor
McCandless and Miss La Plant,
who hoed it down around the hall
a couple of times, and should re-
ceive a reward of merit, or special
mention, or something, for their
finale.
After the cake-walk dancing
was indulged in until late hour.

Ihave been here nearly Eve months,

here are mostly on grand scale. 1t
Is no place for poor man to come
prospecting, Wages are very low and
goods of all kinds very high, especial
ly the kind bought by prospectOrs -.
and distances are magnificent.
Chihuahua is called the American
city. Water works. drainage, electric
lights, street cars, brewery, ice plant,
theatre; cock pits and cock fights, in
endless variety aud greatest profusion
Also a grand amphitheatre for bull
fighting, well patronized by foreign
ers. At the hotel you will meet eight
or ten nationalities, waited upon by
darkies and Cinnamon. The public
schools and public parks are to be
greatly commended.
One American newspaper, the enter
prise, published weekly by Mattox
Bros, must be an immense success
here, because have myself seen the
editor pay weeks board in advance
With Kindest regards to all, remain
