BULLFIGHT
Spanish T0readors Are Got Unlike
Her Statesmen I'm Claiming
Vlctories.

"These constant victories won by
our friend. the enemy" remarked the
man who had seen Spain to a reporter
fer the New York Sun, remind me of
the Herculean labors performed for
public amusement in the bull ring at
Madrid.
THE chief toreador comes out, stalks
about the arena, swings his bright-col-
bred draperies, and finally, hating be-
fore the royal Enclosure, putfs up his
chest and pounds upon his manly bosom
with clenched fist.
"'Oh! mighty and magnificent poten-
tate he calls. do but cast down the key.
that | may go and drag from his lair the
furious beast!'
Then, with great strides, he passes
to a gate, unlocks and opens it. Out
comes a puny, measly, ~bloodless little
bull calf, that has been kept half starved
in a darkened pen TO prepare it for the
proves of the fighter. Attendants
goad the poor, frightened creature
through the usual spectacular perform
ance. When the furious beast ought to
die, the toreador slaughters it, and
quickly its emaciated body is dragged
away.
"'Behold, oh, majestic monarch
shouts the fighter. 4 have triumphed
over the savage foe Of man: 1 have
brought to dust the raging beast, as 1
will bring all of its Kind fCTevrr.'
"Then he palades himself around.
while the crowd goes wild with delight.

larry that keeps things a-going in Spain.

cattle is an example. as this practice
is gaining favor SO rapidly that horn

tiop. The first objections were that it
is cruel and unnatural. The earl Y me-
thOd of dehorning with saw was IN
d uh;edly slow aud painful, but es-
pecially constructed clippers are now
used that often removed horn in 8
single seco q, and with so little suffer

and the operation is really humane,
the frequent Injuries in herds from

have become utterly useless, being no

three weeks old the embroyo horns can
be removed with one stroke of the

The Revival.

The revival service at the Baptist
church last night was noted for two
things, viz, large congregation on a
Monday nish hit, and the presence of as
many if not more men than women.
TheSe phenomepa-fcrt they are phenO
mena in this town, ought to encourage
the revival workers, and make the
evangelist more hopeful than ever, for
'the likes of it, never happened in Ell
Paso before. 1t has always been the
women who turned out in revival meet
ings, fact well illus rated in a Me-
thodi sunrise prayer me citing held in
this city some time ago, when there
was but one lone man beside the pastor
present, while over dozen women
were on hand. At union
meeting held in the Presbyte, ian
there did not appear at
first sight to be single MAJ in the
congregation; it was lovely Adamless
Eden, and the speak er faced terrace
after terrace of Gainsborough hats in
wide and assorted degree arrange
ment and pattern of flower garden dis
play. But last night broke the ice,
it was another record smashed" and
the women W IL now have to look out
the masculine heart of the community
is being touched, and the evangelist
and the pastors are hoping and praying
that the number of men in the revival
congregations may incre ase. The
holding of street meetings at the
Currie block corner is no doubt having
it's effect in turning the minds aud
faces of not few men towards the
Baptist church meetings that are
held Immediately after the open air
services.
Rev. DR.. Hanks spoke last night on
the forbearauce, long suffering and
goodness of God, taking his text from
Romans II:lV-V1. The speaker made
strong plea for the turning of the
sinner to long suffering and loving
father who would not that any should
| d rish, but should look onto the cross
and find eternal life. The unsaved
were urged again and again to accept
the salvation SO freely offered, without
money and without price. At the
close of the preaching, among the sew

hands in response to in;

The pastor, Rev. w. o. Millicau, took
an active part in the services, and
made several strong appeals. The size
of that Mooday night audience was
high ly encouraging. albeit there was
not very much warmth manifested

No north, no south, we koow.,
Once more we stand together
To fight the common foe.

Needs once again her son,
