AMERICAN LANTERNS.
They Are Carried Wherever Lanterns
Are Used All Over the Civ
ilized World.

American lanterns are exported to
all the countries of the world where
lanterns are used. Many are sent to
South Africa and to South America,
to Australia and New Zealand, and
some are sold in Asia. Few, proper
tionately, are sent to Europe, says the
New York Sun.
Kerosene oil is now commonly
burned in lanterns all over the world.
There are no lanterns made nowadays
for candles only, but there are ex-
ported to South America some lanterns
made so that either candles or oil may
be burned in them. These are provided
with a candle socket, which may be
set down in the oil reservoir, the wick
holder having been removed. by re-
moving the candle socket and screw
ing in the wick holder the lantern
is made ready to burn oil. Excepting
railroad and other lanterns for spe-
cial uses, substantially oil the lanterns
made nowadays are OF the kind known
as tubular, first introduced about 80
years ago, and now made in various
notifications as to detail, the tubular
part Of the lantern being designed
with n view to producing better COM
bustion and n brighter light. The Ian
terms made for ordinary uses are pro-
duced in about 40 styles.
The American lanterns are the light
est. the sightliest in appearance and
the best adapted 10 their use, and are
sold cheaper than lanterns of equal
quality produced elsewhere. There
are large establishments in this coun-
try making lanterns only. 1t is prob
able that more lanterns are now ex-
ported from this country than from
either England or Germany, and the
exports of American lanterns are in
creasing.

A NARROW ESCAPE
From Death By Suffocation.

Mrs. F. w. Tillman, of Tucson, Ari-
IONA, had a narrow escape from death
Yesterday at the Lindell hotel as re-
suit of heart failure, aggravated by her
own csrelessness in handling gas
heater in the bath room.
The lady asked that a bath be pre-
pared for her yesterday afternoon and
was notified that it was ready. She
repaired to the mems bath room In
stead of the women's, and proceeded
to disrobe. She then endeavored to
heat the water herself by means of the
machine.
She did not know how to handle this
contrivance and permitted the gas to
escape. The clerk raped on the door
and told her that she had gone to the
wrong room, but she said she would
heat the water herself and was then
undressed and did not care to go to the
other bath room.
A few moments later q guest heard
groaus issuing from the bath room. BE
notified the office. The door was found
unlocked and the woman lying upon
the floor unconscious.
DR.. Schught was hastily called and
succeeded in restoring her to conscious
ness after q half hours hard work.

Another Baldwin Man Coming.

Next Wednesday or Thursday S. M.
Vauclain. an expert and one OF the
proprietors OF the Baldwin Locomotive
works, will arrive in this city and 60
to the front with the mountain elm Der
which has caused the Baldwin and E.
P. and N E. people so much trouble.
Tires 81 inches in width, were being
placed on the mountain climber yester-
day and she will be already to 60 to the
front when the Ba dwin expert arrives.
Mr.. Vauclain will be the fourth man
from the Baldwin works to come from
the east to epdeavour to make the en-
CINE do the work expected OF her and
1t is thought that the wide tires will be
all the change necessary to place her in
c0nditio- to do the work. It is said
that one object of Mr.. Vauclsin's visit
here is to test the curves on the
mountain branch. Some of
them are said to be more than 30 de-
grees, in the event of which they will
have to be reduced to that number.

CALIFORNIA JACK in JAIL
Arrested For Receiving Stolen
Goods.

John Hall, alias, "California Jack, -
was arrested by deputy sheriff yes
terday on q charge of receiving stolen
goods. The complaint was sworn out
by A. Schwartz, proprietor of "The
Fair" a large store on East Overland
street, who charges Hall with receiv-
ing an overcoat which had been stolen
from a dummy in front'of his store.
The theft was first discovered by Mr..
Schwartz when he saw a negro wear
ing the coat on the street He asked
him where he had got the coat and
the negro said he had bought
it at Jacks saloon for two
dollars. The negro accompanied
Schwartz to the saloon and returned
the coat receiving the two dollars he
had paid for it. Mr.. Schwartz then
demanded the coat of Jack and he re-
fused to give it up unless paid the two
dollars, the sum he claimed to have
paid a tramp for it. Jack mphaticslly
denies the whole charge and says it is
simply an attempt to persecute him.

More 6. H. Improvements.

It is rumored on good authority that
Arthur Ealsnd, foreman of
the bridge and building crew
of that line. will be here
early next week with his jolly gang to
make few more Improvements on the
G. 81. properly. 1t will be remember
ed that Mr.. Eslsnd's gang WAS dis
banded here only a short time ago af-
ter working several months at this
place. Some of the gang remained
here and some of them went to San
Antonio with Mr.. Ealand. Since Mr..
Ealand left here, however, the compa-
ny has decided to put in a breakwater
along the north line of the yards to
prevent a possible rush of water from
the high ground north. The G. 81.
company has suffered On a few occa-
sions from that section lying north of
the yards and it is proposed now to
construct breawater to guard
against a repetition of such a difficult

Antl-SCa1ping Bill.

The anti-scalping bill now before the
senate at Washington has been passed
twice, and should receive the hearty
support sss Of every States member esn6ss
who favors the enforcement of the
interstate commerce law so far as
it relates to passenger traffic. Judge
Cooley, in his first report to congress
nine years ago, urged the passage of
such law, and explained in forcible
and earnest language the absolute nee
essity for such an amendment to the
act to regulate commerce. Judge
Cooley's successors gin each report
since that times have made
similar recommendations. each
successive report giving additional
reasons for the adoption of such
an amendment. The merchats, travel
ers and organized bodies of laboring
men to the number of hundreds of
thousands in various parts of the Unit
ed States have urged in the strongest
manner the passage of this bill. There
are opposed to it $50 ticket scalpers,
scattered throughout the country,
who acknowledge under oath
that 95 per cent of their BUSH
ness Is done in violation of law.
It can not be possible that the
senate of the United States will refuse
to siren then q defective law: which
the officers created by that body have
30 often urged them to amend, that it
might be made effective. The sale of
transportation tickets has always been
considered public business in which
the whole public is directly interested,
and the demand of the country is that
this public business be conducted in
an honest manner. The anti-scalping
bill has this and only this for it's OBJ

Work on the Main Line.

It Is autboritively stated that the
work of constructing the main line of
the E. P. & N. e. road north from
Alamogordo, will begin in about two
months. Preparation for commencing
this work has been going on for some
time and it is thought that all material
necessary to begin construction will be
in Alamogordo in about two months.
A large force of men will be put to
wort at that time and the work pushed
as rapidly as possible so as to reach the
coal fields and have them in operation
before the cold weather sets in next
