PLAYING MARBLES.
TO Become Proficient should
Indulge in the Game.


II foreign nations would become pro
fcient with the formidable guns OF mod
ern warfare Lieut.. Wilson recommends
10 their ministers the introduction OF
the American and English game Of
playing marbles. The great prusectil.
throwers and shell distributors are no
longer sighted as Of old. when the gun
ners Of hostile ships frequently pushed
their ramrods into the portfolios Of the
enemy. Hours probably before the
eager captains come within range dis
tance the junior officers of the American
vessels have figured out the problem
which is to direc; the men who handle
The breech-loaders. The density or
rarity Of the atmosphere. the prevalence
OF the wind. the height Of The sea. are
all taken into consideration.
Lieut.. Wilson contends that PLAYING
marbles steadies the nerves Of the pros
pective naval cadet while be is ploddinp
through the primary grades at school.
The sport promotes a spirit Of calcula-
ton Of distances which Is Of incaIcu-
liable value when hostile fleets are
maneurering for battle.

Negotiations Solicited.

Two men were brought to light by
the police of New York last week, who
have been managing an alleged
theatrical agency at 237 East Twenty
ven street. On Monday last nearly
one hundred young women called at
their Office in response to an adver-
tisement for chorus singers and
ballet dancers, and from each APP
plicant the agents collected SO as
deposit for the 'ssafe-keeping of q
costume" and in return promised an
immediate engagement.

Many of the merchants of Ell Paso
have already laid in their supply of
Christmas goods and shop windows
along the principal thoroughfares
have recently taken on q holiday ap-
pearance. Trade this year has been
better than for years and its volumn
holidays. Merchants have pre-
pared themselves for the ex-
pected rush by laying in heavy
stocks. SIT is singular" said bust
ness man yesterday, show rapidly
mercantile houses in this town grow
1 have watched some of our present
large establishments from the time
they begun business. Many of them
commenced few years ago an stocks
has seen them increase in size until
their proprietOrs have grown rich and
the stock of goods"now kept on hand
by each of them represents q fortune. 81
Paso is q good business town, no mis-
take about it,
The remarkable case of Miss Marie
Charpentier, who died in New Orleans
a few days ago, after having been in
trance for sixteen years, is being
made study of by the medical profess
sion. Two experts arrived from New
York to-day and will make detailed
investigation of Miss Charpeutier's life.
Both the Louisiana States Medical as
sociation and New Orleas Medical so
ciety will take up this queer case. For
sixteen years Miss Marie Charpenter,
who lived at No. 1888 Marias street,
was led to q bed in dark room
with but two hours in each twenty-four
when she was conscious of the world
about her and able to take nOurish-
ment and converse with those about
her.
The newspaper man often has the
remark fred at HIM that sit does not
pay to ADVERTISE" but the fact is that
all business is built up on advertising
OF one kind or another. And in regard
to newspaper advertising one might
more properly ask the question, "Does
1t pay not to advertiser The writer
thinks not and as proof spent an hour,
the other afternoon in one of the large
stores of Ell Paso aud during that time
not single sale was made. Suffice it to
say, the store is not advertised in any
of the papers.

The electric lights are not turned on
in this city now until 6 O'Clock. The
lights begin to blaze at the same hour
as during the summer months. Then
six o'clock was about sunset, now it is
long after dark. This condition works
hardship upon many restaurants and
such places as require plenty of light
early in the evening".
Betting among local politicians on
the New York election was heavy.
Many of shem wagered large sums OF
| money. Many bets were offered or
