She flew to him with outstretcled

"Oh! thank heaven. you are Gomez

Of tears choked her utterance, and she hid
her face against his shoulder.
Standish pressed her closely t o him. and
murmured some half-articulate words of
comfort. She felt his heart beating
strongly against her W.T.. and was con-
scious that she could stay in those dear
arms forever, half because of the weary's
child's desire to be comforted: half from
the passionate woman's love for the man
who had been everything to her from her
childhood.

a Prophecy Of the war.


Poor Cuba had suffered at the veft
threshold Of this great and free country
for more than q century before any &C.
tive Intervention was undertaken By
the United States. Outrage after out.
rage had been piled upon American citt.
Gems who resided there or undertook to
trade at her ports. The present war
ought to have been fought fifty years
ago. and 1t is q long, sad commentary
on the too peaceful conservatism Of the
past that the first man killed in front
OF Santiago in June. 1903. was the
grandson and namcsake of the Score
tary OF State who held back the hand OF
Justice in 1870 when the Virglnius at.
fair stirred the American people to In.
dignation. 1t seems to prove that,
whether the war was deferred or not,
It must come In spite of the c0nserva.
tism-in spite OF the cost Of life and
money.
The thought that It would come was
present In the minds Of many, and 10
n instance at least seems to have
been developed into a basis for action.
Many residents of u city l1ave noted
in the street cars among the advertising
signs which are 80 prominently dis
played a series of cards which refer to
naval and military lines, and which
have a double interest at the present
hour. Although they were placed IN the
cars e a year ago. before the Spanish
war was thought of, their text In not
q few points seems to foretell with ac-
curacy some of the relations Of the. WAT.

ABOUT GAR0OYLEs.
Many of Them we're Fine Works q
Init

Many of Them were Fine Works OF
Sculpture.
Let us look ut some of the old rain
water spouts, or gargoyles. 1t is only
recently that the word gargoyle has
found its way into our dictionaries,
a v Chambers Journal. Even techni-
cal glossaries of repute passed 1t over
a few years ago. But nov it is not
only included, but chosen for illustra-
ton, in lexicographical works that are
enlivened with wood cuts. This adj
vance in public estimation is probably
the result of the exceptional wave in
the waters of sanitary science now
passing over us, which has drawn at
tention to the name IL ancestors
made provision for the limitation Of
one Of the evils with which they had to
contend.
We find our predecessors not only
contrived a means to prevent the damp
that would have ensued If rain water
had not been diverted from falling off
their roofs into the foundations of their
buildings, but so treated these discharg-
ing spouts heads from their cutters as
to make them give considerable orna-
mentation. The application of the term
gargoyle to these co%ntrivances is SAID
to be due to the dragon-like character
that was at first given to them, coupled
with the fact that there was Il particu-
lar dragon known by that name that
kept the district around Rouen in trepi-
dation. Directly these fantastic spouts
came into use they We're treated as
works of art. in so far as two were
never made alike.
Those who have studied the subject
aver that many of them are fine works
of sculpture and they are often so
adroitly placed as to bring out the
salient points of IL fabric and conduce
to Its pleasing effect. They We're en-
ployed from about the middle of the
thirteenth century, and We're gradually
improved in form and delicacy of de-
| sign and execution. At first they were
I! somewhat short and thick, but after q
time were made longer. to project fur
tAer, and with more elegant details.

tn. Pay Of III. SOLICITOR General.

1t Is understood that Auditor Mar
celino Garcia declined to pay the salary
for the month of March of Solicitor Gen.
cral E. L. Bartlett. The latter this
forenoon filed a petition for a man
damus directing the auditor to comply
with the letter and spirit of the law and
draw a warrant for the solicitor gen.
erals salary for March in favor of Ed
ward L. Bartlett.
This mandamus issued out of the court
of this district was served on the auditor
at 2 this afternoon and that officer had
the good sense and Judgment to pay
prompt and instant attention to the
same and drew a warrant for the pay
ment Of the salary of the solicitor gem
eral, as directed in the mandamus. This

tor Feneral j. P. Victory, but is in ac-
cordance with the law and the equitable
phases of the case. The law is supreme

that after today no further explanations
as to "how it happened" will be placed
on file. Explanations become fatiguing
after a while.

Mayor Hudson is one of the most pub
lic-spirited men in the city of Santa Fe.
He can be depended upon to work like a
Trojan for the promotion of the inter-
ests of his home and his family and
those are the kind of people that should
govern Santa Fe.
No doubt is entertained by those who
know him best that Mayor Hudson will
labor in season and out of season to pro
mote the interests of Santa Fe. His ad-
ministration will prove a conspicuous
success. Mark the prediction.
The wagon road between Santa BE
and Bland is reported to be in superb
condition, but the people of the Capital
city must not weary in well doing. The
NEW MEXICAN will never be contented
until it is permitted to record the fact
that the Golden Cochiti and Santa Fe
have been brought into the intimate
relations that will result from the estab-
lishment of daily stage and mail service
between this city and Bland.

Yesterdays vote was quite a compli-,
ment to Mayor Hudson and Treasurer
Sam Cartwright.
Yesterdays victory by the Republi-
cans was celebrated by a %torchlight pro-
cession, music and speeches last night.
Yesterdays contest resulted In the
biggest victory the Republicans have at
tanned in the city elections here since
the incorporation of the city.
A week ago the NEW MEXICAN said
that Capt. Hudson and Sam Cartwright
would be elected by an average majority
of a $50, and so they were.
The first ward, generally a strong
Democratic ward, did nobly yesterday
and redeemed itself from a long course
of misdoing in having been solidly Dem
ocratic heretofore.
1t was asked this morning: What
beat the Citizens ticket? Well, several
good reasons for that and among others,
the Republicans are in the majority in
this city and will support a good ticket
right along.
Pedro Delgado was the only candi-
date on the Citizens ticket who received
q majority In n ward. The other
| twelve candidates were absolutely lost
| in the shuttle.
If the Citizens movement in the city
campaign just closed was gotten up as
an attack on Governor Otero and his ad-
ministration, 1t certainly fell very short
Of its purpose and cut a mighty woeful
and sorry figure.
Many Democrats were kicking this
morning, saying Republicans had had
too much to do with the conduct of the
campaign on behalf of the Citizens
ticket and hence the defeat of the
ticket. There may be more truth than
poetry in this kick.
1t was an overwhelming victory for
the Republican ticket and much Of its
success should be ascribed to the friends
and supporters Of Governor Otero, who
supported the ticket strongly aud loyalty
as they were anxious to show that the
governors course and actions since his
appointment had been. pleasing to the
Republicans as q party and also as in
dividuals. This feeling and generally
good nominations did q great deal for
the complete success Of the Republicans
here on yesterday.

An INTERESTING EXHIBIT.
Indian Office Arranging for a Congress Of
American Tribes at 0maha-Fify
Indians to Be Sent from Among
Pueblos and Jicarillas.

Captain Chas. L.. Cooper, acting Indian
agent for the Pueblo and Jicarilla agency
in this city, is in receipt Of letter from
the office of Indian affairs in Washing
ton regarding an Indian encampment or
congress to be assembled at the Omaha
exposition, which opens June l, 1898.
1t Is the purpose of the proposed
gathering of Indians to make an extern
sive exhibit illustrative of the mode OF
life, native industries and ethnic traits
of as many of the aboriginal American
tribes as possible, and to that end 1t is
proposed to bring together selected
families or groups from all the principal
tribes, and camp them in tepees, wig
vans, and other native buildings on the
exposition grounds, and there permit
them to conduct their domestic affairs
as they do at home, and make and sell
their wares for their own profit.
The Indians are rapidly passing away,
or modifying their original habits and
industries by adopting those Of civiliza-
ton, and 1t is thought that an assem-
blage of the kind proposed would not
only be beneficial to the Indians par
t~icipating but would be interesting and
profitable to a majority Of the people
who will attend the exposition. and show
them the difficulties the Indian Office
is confronted with in Its efforts to educate
and civilize the Indian.
In order that the encampment may be
as true to the natural life Of the Indians
as possible, the Indian Office desires that
the domestic articles and implements Of
l xrn xfn w oo11ootnI hr nc ,wi,,,{<fx,n n q
| sible, and that materials be brought to
erect the dwellings. As 1T is proposed
to make a special exhibit of the Indians
under Captain Cooper's agency, he is re-
quested to assist in the collecting and
arranging the things to be taken to the
encampment. The delegation from the
agency will consist of at least so In
dams, but that number will be subject
to change.
TO carry out this plan, there is now
pending In congress an amendment to
the Indian appropriation bill, appro-
priating $4,000 to defray the expenses
of the encampment, and 1t Is thought
that the appropriation will be made.
The Indians will not be at any expense
for transportation or living while at
Omaha, and will be we'll cared for.
Captain. W. A. Mercer, u. s. A., will
have charge OF the congress on the part
Of the Indian office, and a specialist
from the bureau Of ethnology, probably
MI. James Mooney, will be detailed to
assist in the preparation Of the exhibit,
while other specialists will have charge
OF the selection Of the delegations and
the collection OF materials
While all the details Of the Indian
congress have not yet been perfected,
plans have progressed far enough to as
sure one Of the most interesting features
Of the Transmississippi exposition.
