CHANCES GROW LESS.
Too Many Spinssers There, as in This
Country.

From London Tit-Bits.
1t mt st be disquieting to those who con-
slider marriage to be every woman's birth
right to see how stealthily but surely her
chances of realizing her destiny are di-
mnisting.
The census of 1871 disclosed the fact that
the wcmen in the United Kingdom out
number ed the males by no fewer than $751;,
195. In 1881 this deplorable disparity in
numbers had grown to 95S, ,63S; and at the
last census, in 1891, the surplus females
mot that under any conditions woman
could be considered redundanD numbered
1112512.
Think of this vast army of females who
for matrimonial purposes must be deemed
| too many. Arranged two abreast, al in
tervals of a yard, this fair column would
carry the tale of its grievances from Lon
don right across The border beyond Car
Isle, and even there they would find no
redresS
The census figures prove that in ireland
Woman's chances of finding her mate are
better than in any other part of the United
Kingdom. For every 1000 males ireland is
blessed with 1,G29 females. a disparity
which need not make any Irish girl de-
spair. England ranks next as a matri-
monial market: as for every 1909 men
there are only Ga females to spare. Scot
land has 1912 females for every 900
Cf marrying girls.
The islands adjacent to our shores are
the least promising as matrimonial hunting
grounds; for no fewer than !, ,12G females
| have 10 be apportioned among 1000 males.
Throughout the United Kingdom there are
approximately 1,0jo females to attract
every 1000 males.
The problem Of the sexes assumes star
ting proportions when we consider that the
females in the United Kingdom alone, if
placed in single file at intervals of a little
over six feet, could whisper a secret en-
tirely round the earth at the equator
The females in England would form a
column twenty abreast, at intervals of
yard, long enough to reach from Lizard
Point to Berwick -on-TWeed Similarly ar
ranged, at intervals of few inches more
or less than yard. the fair army of Scot
land five abreast, could link the Gram
plans with John o'Groats. Ireand's equal
iy fair army, four abreast, would stretch
across the extreme length of their country
and the insular fair would form a
column, two abreast, extending in
straight line from Charing Cross to Wok-
ing.

About Arteslan Water.

A gentleman in this city remark
ed to the ARDMoREITE reporter:
If ArdmOre will put up one
thousand dollars, / will put down
a we'll 1000 feet deep, which l be-
lieve will furnish the town with
water and have it running in the
gutter" Now we may not be a
Judge of waterworks, but we
firmly believe if this man will give
a guarantee of any kind the city
may want, that he can furnish us
artesian water to flow in the gut
ters, he can get a thousand dollars
from the city too quick to talk
about. A flow of water is wanted
and wanted badly by the city if for
no other purpose than assisting the
sewerage system in a.sanitary way.
Then if one we'll will do this the
future is settled as to fire protec.

T. N. cOIeman.s Experience.

Nearly everyone. in town knows
I. n. (Nels) Coleman the drug
gist, and it is presumed that as
many know that he has a strong
claim to Choctaw citizenship. Then
everyone has heard or read of the
great bugaboo regarding the ex-
pulslon of the intermarried men
from the Territory as intruders,
sent out by the Wichita liar. 1t
will also be remembered that about
the time this story was going the
rounds of the press Nels. Coleman,
accompanied by his wife, made a
trip to st. Louis, and also visited
his old home at Ashley, Ill. 1t
was while at the latter place that
numbers of his old friends came to
him with condolences and regrets,
expressing their sincere sympathy
at the unfortunate turn affairs had
taken, whereby he with his wife
had been driven, by force of In
dian police and soldiers. from his
home and all his possessions in the
Indian country. Nels, at first re-
garded their manner as intended
for a joke, but when others came
along and all had the same sorrow
full sympathy to extend it began to
dawn on him that they were really
in earnest. And he declares he
never had such a job as that of
convincing the people that the
Wichita correspondent was a liar
and that there was not word Of
truth in the report; and some of
them would not be convinced even
up to the time of his departure for
home, they declaring that it was
foolishness upon his part to return.
Nels., however, is here with his
family in their happy home, and
chances are that he will stay about
as long as the balance of us.
If Mr.. Coleman had not told this
story himself we probably never
would have known Of it. And il
certainly goes to show how easily
a newspaper can influence people
to believe a thing, even the rank
est fraud on earth, and it further
shows the necessity for the exer
else of the greatest care in tn,
publication of articles about tn
absolute truth of which there i
any doubt.

for his cash by lone highway

stepped forth when his victim was
about eight feet distant and made
the demand. Sam answered
promptly by drawing his pistol
and firing at the robber, who
promptly ran. Four shots were
fired at him during which he fell,
but whether wounded or not Sam
is unable to state, as he regained
his feet and disappeared in the
darkness.

ID, Il X. &. Extension,

The Denver & Rio Grande lire has
long been surveyed and located, all the
way from Espa~ ola to Cochiti, and a
sect on ten or twelve miles long down
the caron was graded before the com-
pauy enters d in the ten year com pa ct
with the Santa Fee in 1879. From the
end Of that grade down to Cachiti it is
not over twenty miles, aod that section
covers all the heavy work to be en-
countered south of Espanola. From
Cochiti to Albuquerque, is all the way
down the smooth river bottom. and the
grading would amount to but little
more than ditch on either side of the
track. The ore output of the Coch It'll
district from this time forward will
amount to an item that the Denver s.
Rio Grande cannot afford to miss: even
1t the cost OF reaching it should be
twice or three times as great as is now
necessary, and when once at COchiti
the road would have have plain sailing
to Albuquerque where it would tap the
general omnercial business of the ter
ritory-and it is just as idle for any
road to hope for a fair share of the
business of New Mexico without COM
ing to Albuquerque as it would be for
line to expect to compete for the
business OF Colorado without going to
Denver. The Denver and Rio Grande
people have probably learned this fact
as well as any other road of the couu-
try, and is still paying roundly for the

track of the Toledo, ST. Louis and
Kansas City railroad, that passed near
Rabberman's farm. The latter sued
the railroad company in the police ma
gistrate's court in East ST. Louis and
was awarded s. damages and $40 at
torney's-fees. The company appealed
20 the City Court of East ST. Louis,
where, at the December term, 1897
judgment was rendered in favor of
Rabberman for S. damages and $50 at
torney's fees. The railroad company
now brings the case to the appellate
court The costs, exclusive of attor-
ney's fees, already amount TO 5000. By
the time decision is reached in this
court the costs will be doubled, with
no prospect of termination in sight, as
