CUBAN DOCUMENTS.
A VERY Valuable Collection.

Robert A. Ssickney, OF the ue
clerks ofhce at the house, has uniq
collection of documents in the shape of
all the bills, resolutions and import
ant speeches made upon the Cuban
question between the time that it first
came before the public until war was
declared. All are bound in a comedy
volume, which he intends to preserve.
The date of the first resolution is no.
tlceable, being April l, 1897. It was
offered by Senator Morgan, of Alaba-
ma, and declares that "a condition of
probable war exists in Cuba and that
strict neutrality shall be maintained. I"
Representative Mahany, of New York
oHered the second resolution, which
was dated April 3, 1897, and states
that this country would regard with
qualification the remission of the death
sentence passed upon Gen Ruiz Rivera.
In the collection of bills and resolu-
tions is the one of May 13. 1897, ap-
propiating $50, 900 for suffering Amer
leans In Cuba. 1t was introduced by
senator Gailinger. Representative
Stephens, of Texas. on May L.,
1897, introduced the first resolution
for the recognition of the indepen-
dence of the Island of Cuba. Repre-
sentative Cooke, of Chicago, now
dead, soon afterward introduced a re-
solution to the effect that further
declaration or expression of opinion in
congress as to the war with Cuba is in
expedient."
The collection, it will be seen, forms
very interesting. sight of the present
Cuban difficulty. It includes the re-
solution of Representative Sulzer of
February 9, 1895, in which he embodied
the now famous letter of Senior Deputy
de LONE. the speeches of Senators
Gallinger Money, Thurston, and others
as we'll as Chairman Cannon's bill ap-
propristlng $5O,OOO,O 600 for the natio-
nal defense, and the bill for two ex-
ira regiments of artillery, which
mark the beginning of active prepn-
rations for the present war.-Ex-
change.

A Valuable Engineer.

'Speaking about engineers" said
railroad official yesterday, II weigh a
man by his experience as well as by
his ability. Now, let me relate a little
incident which happened to an en-
gineer under my Jurisdiction on an
east Texas railroad. He was handling
the switchengine and was making a
run for hill siding about mile from
town and met an incoming train. In q
high state of excitement he reversed
his engine and jumped, followed by his
fireman. The switchengine stopped
before it reached the incoming train
and an accident was averted. But. now,
when the switchengine did stop, it was
in backward motion and came back on
the track in an awful speed and would
have done ten times more damage
than if it had hit the incoming train
had not the road been unusually clean
before it. 1 discharged the engineer,
of course, but after giving th e matter
one months study 1 replaced him with
out any admonitions. 1t was not long
until this same engineer was sent out
on the road and a repetition OF the
same danger confronted him at which
time he coolly reversed his engine, ap-
piled the air, and stopped in time to
save disastrous wreck. l say disas-
trous because had the accident Oc
Cured at all, it would have occurred
on q bridge where it was sixty feet to
the river bed. 1 considered that he
received lesson which he would mover
forget when he met the first train and
1 was right. He made up his mind 10
the first instance what he would do II
it occurred again, and did it pObly. l
consider experience q valuable posses
sion among all railroad men, but es-
pecially among engineers"

She Was Glad She Didn't Yell.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer.


A certain East End man delights in
doing odd jobs about his home. He
cuts his grass and trims the walks, and
err. Carpenter tools come handy to
him, too, and the sound of his merry
saw makes pleasant music for the
neigh bors, who have no objection to
being awakened early. In short, he is
q clever all-round workman, and deci-
dedly handy to have about the house.
One day not long ago
the woman OF the house
looked over the low fence into the
handy mans yard. What she saw
scared her SO that she couldn't move
hand or foot. The handy man was
lying prone on his back, his body con-
cealed beneath his porch, but with
face in strong relief. He was very
pale, his hair was disordered, and his
eyes were rolled up and fixed in q
CHASTITY intentness. Against his breast
he seemed to be pressing some deadly
weapon that glistened as a ray OF light
touched it.
The woman on the porch tried to
scream, and couldn't. She knew the
handy man was committing suicide.
He painted, his face grew red, and
his form seemed convulsed.
The woman on the porch caught her
agon1zed breath and was about to let
out forty-horse power yell, when she
heard the supposed suicide anxiously
ask:
"Isn't it through yet?''
eyes" said voice from above. sit
been yoost through
About this time the woman on the
porch understood that the handy man
was boring an augerhole through the
floor OF his porch, that the deadly wea-
pc was an auger, and that the hired
girl was on hand to watch the opera
ton.
Then the woman on the porch was
glad she didn't yell.

Railroad Work Progressing.

Reports from the railroad work are
all that could be desired, says the Eddy
Argus. Material is arriving at ANA
rillo faster than it can be handled,
and the contractors are pushing
things rapidly. At Roswell things
are in an equally lively state. En-
gineer Ballard is there with force of
men running the grade, and dirt will
fly in few days. A grading outfit
belonging to Werd & Curtney, the
we'll known railroad contractors, pass
ed through Eddy, Saturday, en- route
to Boswell, from the western part of
the territory, where they have been
working on the White Oaks road. The
outfit consisted of twenty six horses, q
carload of scrapers and between twen-
ty and twenty five men. An outfit
from Arizona is driving from Rincon
to Roswell and will be at work there
very soon. W..R. Slinkard is the
the sub-contractor. He has
nine miles of quite heavy work on the
east side of the Pecos. S. S. Menden-
hall has the first twenty five miles,
and will start work just as soon
as the engineers give the
word.

Bad management keeps more people
in poor circumstances than any other
one cause. To be successful one must
look ahead and plan ahead so that
when q favorable opportunity presents
it. A little forethought will also save
much expense and valuable time. A
prudent and careful man will keep a
bottle of Chamberlain g Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy in the house,
the shiftless fellow will wait until
necessity compels it and then ruin his
best foregoing for doctor and have a

pays out 25 cents, the other is out

is getting poorer. For sale by all

Think of this number of men taking

ssry to enter every carl mean get

for this number of men to do this and
it is wrong to limit shippers to that

Want Only Able-Bodled Men.

The reporter yesterday sought an in
terview with Dr.. Turner regarding the
G. II. strict system of examining all
applicants for positions on that line.
DR.. Turner is the examining physi clan
and talked freely on the subject. He
said that the railroad company had set
physical standard and all who intend
to enter or who have entered the SER
vice since June 1st OF this year, must
quality under that standard. II am
here merely to see that the applicants
come up to the requirements OF the
standard established by the G. 81. COM
papy, and all who come to me undergo
the same test. l recognize friends and
foes alike and utilize my limit of dis
erection with all subjects sent me by
the company. l have been offered
tears when rejected, but without eff
feet. Yes, the company allows me to
charge 81 for each and every applicant
examined and the applicants are sup
posed to pay this money before 1 start
to examine them, but they fall far
short of this requirement. Some
times l get So, sometimes l get ST. and
more times l get nothing. For m
stance, had an applicant yesterday
who wished to be examined and asked
me about the pay. 1 told him the ex-
animation was two dollars whether he
passed or not. He told me to go ahead
and that he would pay me. l pro-
ceeded with the examination and hav
ing finished | informed him that he
was not up to the required physical
standard and that he could not pass.
He walked out of my Office and told his
friends on the street how he done me-
for the examination. This is only one |
instance, but l could relate many more |
where the applicants have taken adj
vantage of me. 1t is certainly the COM
pany's privilege to have only able |
bodied men in the service and that pri |
vilege they propose to carry out to the
letter" When asked if all the en- |
ployes in the train service prior to |
June LIST, would have to stand an exami- |
nation, the doctor said: "Only par
tial examination. They will all be |
tested on color-blindness and no more"
This examination is liable to begin |
any day and it would be we'll for ali |
