Lotteries In Old Havana.

Life and Society In Old Cuba" is the
title of an article in Century, made up of
extracts from the journals of Jonathan s.
Jenkins, written in 1859. Mr.. Jenkins
says:
In Havana the strangers attention is
arrested by the vendors of lottery tickets,
who stand on the street corners with a
pair of shears in one hand and sheets of
lottery tickets in the other. ready to cut
off any number for buyers. They are very
adroit, and are apt to persuade the credu-
lous that they will draw fortune in the
scheme. These licensed lotteries are one
of the great evils there, especially to the
Spanish people, who seem to be born gam
blers, and for whom the chances of dice,
cards and lottery tickets appear to have
an Irresistible charm. all classes in Havana

Halloween Franks.

Either fairies were abroad in large
uumbers in Ell Paso last night to COM
memorate Halloween, or numerous
small boys were out looking for good
time.
Citizens suspect the small boys.
In nearly every portion of the town
numerous gates were lifted from their
hinges by unseen hands and removed
long distances, Sign boards in a few
instances were exchanged and other
prauks too numerous to mention we're
perpetrated npon the inhabitants while
they slept the sleep of the just.
At ten o'clock last night the visiting
fairies, not content with their other
mischievous acts, climbed up into the
high school belfry and rung the old
bell viciously.

A Saloon Fight.

About two O'Clock this morning there
was a hot scrap In the Wigw saloon,
among the gam blers and bartender.
1t seems that Bob Brown, faro dealer
who came down to this city ABOUT
month ago from New Mexico, Thought
that he had not been treated rlRnt
by the proprietors OF the
gaming house over that saloon
He came here and asked for work at
his vocation aud was told that there
was nothing for him to do. Then ne
asked that extra work be given him.
Well, the management didn't need any
extra help until q few days ago, and
then they gave the work to young
gam bier named Strong.
Last night Brown WAS In the gam ,.
ling room and he being tired OF
watching the play came down stairs
and not having any money he asked
"Shorty," q we'll known hanger on,
to loan him q dollar. Shorty refused,

The world must certainly be getting
better, if history be truthful. Parkinson,
who wrote the ''Paradiseus Terrestris, I"
in 1906, says, when writing of cherries
1.-THE Arch Dukes Cherrie is che of the
fairest and best cherries wee have, being
of q very red color when ripe, and a little
long moro than round, and somew hat
pointed at the end of the best relish of
any Cherrie whatsoever, and of a firme
substance; scarce one of twentie of our
Nurserie men doe sell the right but give
one for another; for it is an inherent
qualite almost hereditarie with most of
them. TO sell any man an ordinary fruit
for Whatsoever rare fruit he shall aske for
so little are they to be trusted
In these days the chances are 10 to 20
that the buyer would get the kind asked
for, which is something TO say of modern
civilization. Parkinson was n druggist
1t might he well TO know whether dealers
in pharmacy were as bad rs the ''Nurserie
men" $50 years ago. -Meehan's Monthly.

without Prejudice.

Three men met ut a restaurant. Two Of
them met for the first time. They dined
and spent several hours together. The
third man, who knew each of the other
two well, wondered what the two men
whom he had brought together would
think of each other. A few days afterward
his curiosity was satisfied.
One of them said to him, Brown is u
clever fellow, but altogether too soft"
The other said, "Smith is "a clever fellow,
but what queerly hard face he has. -

TODAY'S ELECTION
Conducted Very Quietly.

The election which was called for
today, for voting upon the propo-itio
to pension ex-confederate soldiers,
seems to have been somewhat of a
farce
A reporter of the HERALD was out
looking for place to vote and be was
unable to find one In the ward in which
he lived so he was unable to do so.
There was q mistake made by the
last legislature in naming this as the
day for the election instead of Novem-
Der s. There was no way to change
the day except by call for a special
session of the legislature and that
would be too expensive, so it was
thought best by Gov. Culbcrson to let
the election go on.

HOTEL MAN
MISSING
His Action Is Very Hard
To Account For.
FORSOOK HIS BRIDE
She Knew nothing of His Intended De-

Hotel For the Purpose Of Attend
ing Rehes rsal With Her Husband
The Case of Captain Courtney
Recalled.

w. H. Williams, who has during the
past six months been employed a.
clerk and manager of the Commercial
hotel by the proprietor, E. B. We!ch,
is missing from the city and every eff
fort is now being made Qy WEIGH and
the police to induce him to return.
Williams disappeared yester-
day. 1t was afterwards learned
that he boarded The west
bound Southern Pacil ic train. He did
not bid his employer or any one else
farewell when he departed. He took
with him, it is said, several grips left
at the hotel several months ago by
Captain James Courtney in default of a
board bill.
WEIGH thinks that Williams also
took some cash.
Y. sterday afternoon WEIGH
went before Justice MCKEE
and swore out a warrant for the arrest
of Williams charging larceny. Tele-
grams We re then sent without loss OF
time 10 Benson. which was thought to
be the destination of the man, request
ing that he be arrested and held.
1t was subsequently learned that
Williams had gone to Lordsburg and
Ia telegram was sent TO
officers at that point noti-
tying them that warrap t
had been Issued here for tb e man ar
rest and reques ing that he be tax en-
into custody. Part es interested in the
case were momentarily expecting ad :
vices from Lordsburg this mornin q
notifying them that the arrest had
been made.
Williams was last seen In this city
just prior tothe departure of the S. r.
train yesterday afternoon. He was on
duty at the hotel when the train pulled
in from the east and showed mem Der s
of the theatrical troupe to their rooms.
Shortly before the train departed he
gathered up several grips. among
which were those believed to have be-
lopged to Captain Courtney, and re-
quested the colored hotel porter to see
him to the train. He simply told the
porter that he was going away and
offered no explanation.

the local land office at Las Cruc's, New
