the few employees who were compelled
to work looked decidedly lonesome.

The following notice has been post
ed on the Santa Fe: An engineman
having cut his engine off at a siding to
back up the cars, failed to obey signals
properly and consequently ran into
two coal cars, breaking end of coal car
and rear end of engine tank. For his
carelessness in this case, ten dement,
marks have been placed against his re-
cord.
1t seems as if the fear of having to be
uniformed is striking terror into the
hearts of the Santa Fe officials all
along the line. Regarding the condi-
ton in Albuquerque the Democrat of
that place says: Santa Fe railroad
employees are being struck dumb with
terror. It is reported that all station
man will shortly have to wear uni
forms. The employees in this city on
hearing the dread intelligence were
unable to speak for an hour after
wards.
Three damage suits have been filed
against the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
railroad at Sherman, Texas In the
first J. w. Blessing asks $4,000 for
alleged permanent injuries: in the
second ]. T. Gibson wants $50, 600 for
being knocked down by one of the de
PENDANTS trains, and in the third En-
gineer J. T. Watkins asks $4,000 for
the loss of one of his hands. It Is very
evident that the attorney for the M. K.
& T. will be keep very busy for several
months to come.

QUAINT ORGANIZATION.
California Town Has n Deaf and
Dumb Debating Society.

California Town Has n Deaf and
Dumb Debating Society.
Berkeley, CAL, can boast of the most
extraordinary debating society in Amer
ica For one thing it is the quietest de-
batting society in America, and that
alone is enough to make it remarkable.
1t is a society in which the pros and
cons of the questions of the day are dis
cussed and never a word is spoken. 1t
is society in which debates wax warm
and eloquent, in which judges weigh
argument and award the palm, and new
er a sound is heard. It is a society in
which no human note falls on the ear,
in which no ear is needed. 1t is, in
short, the debating society of the deaf
and dumb, where people talk with their
fingers and listen with their eyes.
1t is called the De l'Epee Pacific Ly-
ceum league, in grateful memory of the
Able de PEpee, the benevolent French
priest who originated the sign language
and first brought the deaf and dumb
into intelligent communication with
the world around them. 1t is made up
of some % or 80 of the older students,
boys and girls, at the California Insti
tute For Deaf Mutes in Berkeley, and
Gney get quite as LuuCu luu anu pIOub
out of their silent debates as if they
could make the welkin ring with their
rounded periods.
The society meets in the artroom of
the institute, where there are casts of
the works of the masters to delight the
eye, and the honorable mention" of
two who are kin with them in affection
Douglas Tilden and G. S. Redmond
to show them that all roads to achieve
ment are not closed to them. In the
artroom is big drum to call the meet
ing to order, and while they cannot
hear its roll, SO keenly sensitive are
they that they can feel the vibration
and so it serves its purpose.
The club is duly differed. Miss Isabel
Mcdonald is the president; Miss Emma
Moldenhauer is vice president, Miss
Pearl Wilson is secretary and Hiss
Irene Lynch is chairman of the pro-
gramme committee. Mr.. T. d'Estrella,
pupil teacher of the school, is perhaps
the strongest force in sustaining interest
in the society. Three boys and three
girls take part in each debate, and
judges are chosen from among the MEM
bers. The subjects are up to date.-Sap

CONKLING. MGARRY, SUFFER- & DREHNER.
LINK AND PIN.
A Santa Fe Engine Blown Up.

Regarding the Santa Fe engine
which was blown up at Lamy the San
ia Fee New Mexican says: An extra
fruit train pulled up in the lower yards
at Lamy at 9 O'Clock last night, north
ward bound, and the engine. big
Die ksou. one OF the S00s, cut off and
went to the coal chutes to load the
tender with coal. While stand
ing there, without mo-
mept's warning, the crown sheet
gave way and in less time than it takes
to tell il, there was a deafening crash,
as the contents of the boiler and fire
box were blown out on to the ground,
and the big machine was left q good
deal of a wreck. Engineer Boyd es-
capped, as far as can be learned, with
comparatively few injuries, but the
fireman, John Sherman, was found af-
forwards, ss the station and yard men
rushed to the rescue, so terribly scald-
ed and burned that on picking the
poor fellow up, the pieces of flesh came
away from his body with the battered
clothing. He was carried to the depot
and everything possible done for him,
and when the east bound passenger
train came along he was sent on to the
hospital at Las VEGAS.
The stories CLEANED here this noon
all pointed toward a crown sheet explo-
sion. A backhesd explosion would have
torn both the engipemen to pieces,
while had the front end gone out, the
chances would have been for the escape
of the men from injury further than q
momentary stunning. From such &C.
counts as can be gathered, the Occa-
sion of the accident was most likely
due to structural weakenss. A crown
sheet is supported either by radial
stays braced on the boiler
sheets or horizontal bars braced on
the sides of the frebox, and
as general thing this support is so
secure that even when through care
lessness or accident the water gets be-
low the crown sheet, the latter will
burn out in places before giving way,
and q fusible plug is placed in the sheet
to melt when the water gets low, and
let the steam into the firebox, extin-
gushing the fire. But in this case the
engine was not On that part of the line
where it would be liable to run short
of water, and as everything seemed to
go at once, there was evidently a sud-
den and general giving way of the
crown sheet supports. An examine
ton of the destroyed locomotive will
be made to place the responsibility.
Since the above is written it b as
been learned that Engineer Boyd was
blown out of the cab window by the
force of the explosion, and hurt some
on the top of the head when he hit the
ground. But otherwise he is all right.
Fireman Sherman may recover, and it
is claimed that S4OO will repair the
damage to the engine.

MILITARY NOSTALGIA CURE
Colored Soldiers In Cuba Are Taking
1t. md Their SWeethearts Mourn.

COlOred Soldiers In Cuba Are Taking
1t, and Their Sweethearts Mourn.
DR.. Harrison, a colored physician OF
Wichita, Kan, recently received a let
ter from one Of the Wichita boys with
the Twenty-third Kansas volunteers,
the colored regiment now at San Luis
de Cuba, which has caused consterna-
ton among the colored people, and es-
pecially the women who had husbands
or sweethearts in the company. In that
letter the soldier states that six men,
bers of the Wichita company are en-
gagged to marry Cuban girls and that
many other members Of the regiment
are in love with Cuban and half breed
Spanish women, who are said to be un-
usually good looking and attractive.
There were number Of married men
among the recruits and others who had
promised to marry Wichita girls on
their return. 1t is the women who un-
willingly allowed their sweethearts to
go to Cuba that are most worried. They
are afraid their "men" will fall prey
to the attractions of the tropical amo-
rettes and never come back to them. The
letter says that it is probable that if the
colored troops remain there year al
most one-half of them will marry ma
tives and remain there.
The reason assigned for the wholesale
slaughter of soldier hearts is that when
the troops went there almost all of the
boys were homesick and downhearted,
and about the only relief they could find
was in the smiles and charms of the
beautiful native women. Then they
learned something of the language loves
charms were working and soon the SOL
der boys (some of them) forgot all
about being homesick, SO much were
they enamored with their new sweet
learts. Topeka Capital.
