But few people have ever realized to
what extent Empress Elizabeth carried
her private charities. She was not, like
SO many other wealthy women, satisfied
with sending money to the poor. Far
more refined and delicate was her way
of giving, for she preferred to do so in
person and almost always incognitO-
that is to say, she took as many precau-
tions to conceal her good deeds as did
her namesake, Elizabeth of Hungary. I
remember many a secret errand upon
which we went together. unaccom-
panied by even so much as a servant, at
dusk in the most squalid quarters OF
Vienna or Budapest. writes a woman Of
title in Golfers Weekly. Dressed in
the plainest fashion possible, we wend-
ed our way through narrow alleys and
assembled damp, moldy staircases, where
it hardly seemed safe to tread, in quest
of the dark dens of the truly deserving
poor who belong to class too proud to
become actual beggars. Many sickbed
of which Elizabeth always insisted upon
carrying her fair share. Her sweet face
brought light and joy to the miserable
wretches rolling their fevered bodies on
dingy beds. No task was too fatiguing
for her slender imperial ha udA, and, in
stead of the cant which is used by SO
many when bent on such sr ands, she
would find some encouraging cheering

A GREAT SENSATION

Some Representations Of Agents

The following article concerning
the Copper King mine near .Bisbee,
Arizona, will be of intense interest to
many Ell Paso people. 1t is reprinted
from the Sacramento, Calf, Bee: u
There are many people in Sacrament
to who are firm in the belief that they
have been swindled in wildcat min
ing scheme. If q swindle has been
perpetrated, there are scores of vic
tins. among them many people who
can ill-afford to lose the earnings
which they invested in mining en-
terprise, hoping soon to come into
great wealth. According to state
ments made today to Bee reporter by
Charles E. Wait, druggist at 624 j.
Street, a man. n AIMED E. Kenney asked
him to take Stock in mining enter
prise. Kenney represented himself as
the agent of the Copper King Mining
company, the headquarters of which.
he said, were in Brooklyn. New York.
The company's certificates show that
it was incorporated under the laws of
West Virginia. The Copper King
mine is located at Bisbee, Arizona,
aud is just across gulch from the i'm
meusely rich Copper Queen mine.
Wait says that Kenpey produced

BACK FROM PORTO RICO.
Civil Engineer Speaks of Business
Opportunities In Ponce.

Civil Engineer Speaks of Business
Opportunities In Ponce.
Edmund Alsop, civil engineer, who
was formerly in the employ of the city
of Philadelphia, but who resigned his
position about Jan. l for the purpose of
going to Porto Rico to secure a general
idea of business prospects at that place,
has recently returned and the other
night gave Philadelphia Press reporter
his views on the question. He expressed
himself as being delighted with the
people at Ponce, and said their desire
today is to become more like Americans
and to live in accordance with American
laws and regulations. He found them a
kind, generous, hospitable, but cautious
sort of people. In his judgment, many
of them would make good Americans.
After reciting some incidents which
explained the generosity of the people
at Ponce Mr.. sAlsop said his object in
going there was to sound the people
and ascertain whether there was room
for a bank, trust company and other
business industries. Before going, he
said, he had consulted with a great
many business men, many of whom
lived in Philadelphia, others in Pitts
burg and some in western states. In
every case he found business men eager
and willing to furnish capital if they
were reasonably certain that project
in which they might interest themselves
would prove to be success.
Gin Ponce" continued Mr.. Alsop,
II found that the place was greatly in
need of an American bank; also trust
company. The people there have, to a
great extent. been misrepresented. They
are intelligent, highly cultured and
take a critical view of every subject
which attracts their attention. They
are very anxious that congress shall lose
no time in framing laws and regula
tions for them. 1t is possible that in a
few weeks a branch Office will be estab-
lished at Ponce by some wealthy and
influential men in Philadelphia and
Pittsburg, which will be preliminary
step to opening bank or trust company
at that place. It would be impossible
to put bank or trust company in work
ing order there for at least six months.
Mr.. Alsop said that he would not adj
wise any young men who had few dol
lars or even few hundred dollars
saved to cherish the idea of going to
Ponce to establish a business at that
place. 1.-The climate is fine,' said he,
"but the man who hasn't got lots CT
money canrot better his condition by
going to Ponce"

/ When the superhuman scene had
passed away, and the night had re-
sumed its darkness, the sheph erds ex-
planned to one another, Let US 90
over to Bethlehem, and let us see this
Word that has come to pass, which
the Lord hath showed to u.s." And
without losing moment, they hasten
ed toward the stable where they were
to find the newly-born infant. And
there he was, wrapped in swaddllng
clothes and laid in manger. Mary
and Joseph were by his side.
The shepherds finding all exactly as
the angel had announced, recognized
in this infant the Savior foretOld to Is
rael. They instantly poured forth
thanks givings and praises to God ;then
heaven was allowed to- open, and their
voices and their instruments given to
the angels, and the flood gates of their
impatient jubilee were drawn up, and
thew were hidden to sing
such strains of divinest triumph as the
listening earthshad never heard be-
fore, not even when those same
morning stars had sung at it's
creation such strains as we're meant
only for triumph where the Everlast-
ing God was celebrating the victories
of his boundless love. Earth herself
felt lightened of her load of guilt; and
distant. worlds, whirling far off in space,
we're inundated with the angelic
melody. Silent, in impatient alteration,
they had leaned over toward earth at
the moment of the Incarnation. Silent,
and scarce held in by the omnipotent
hand of God, they pressed like walls
of burning fire around the cross on
Calvary. But at Bethlehem The. wa
tiers of their inward jubilee burst forth
unreproved. and overran all Gods
creation with the wondrous spells of
"Glory to God in the highest" which
is itself not only beautiful revelation
of angelic nature, but also the worship
round the throne made for one moment
audible on this low lying earth.
