When speotaolos We're Now.

In the days when spectacles were
introduced tho world was not all
wise. Glasses became SO fashion
able that people did not wait until
necessity compelled them to adopt
the new custom. Whether their
eyesight was bad or good, those who
would be stylish wore spectacles.
In Spain they formed part of the
costume of every we'll dressed per-
son.
The object of the wearer in put
ting on glasses was to increase the
gravity OF his appearance and rem
der himself mored directly imposing.
A young monk who had, through
the assistance of his family, caused
his order to succeed in an important
lawsuit, felt himself literally re-
warded when the prior, having en-
braced him warmly, testified his
gratitude by saying, Brother, put
on spectacles.
The glasses of spectacles were
proportional in size not to the eyes,
but to the rank of the wearer, those
worn by the Spanish mobiles being
as large as ones hand. The Mar
quis of Astorga, yiceroy of Naples,
after having had his bust sculptured
in marble, particularly enjoined the
artist not to forget his beautiful
kp%ectacles .-Youth's Companion.

cowardly to attack an enemy after
nightfall, but on one occasion they de-
waited from their usual rule. On they
crept, noiselessly and unobserved, III
their bare feet, upon the unsuspecting
%Scotchmen. When zeal the camp, one
of the Danes trod upon a thistle and i'll

sleeping S%cotchmen, and they gave the
alarm. The Danes were defeated with
terrible loss of life. and ever since that

EXPEDITION FAILS.
Reindeer Cannot Live Without For
age--Captain Brainard Recalled
by Dr. Jackson's Advice.

The complete failure OF the Alaska
expedition has been announced to the
War Department in u Telegram from
Brigader General Merriam, command
ing the Military Department Of Column
bia.
This telegram summarizes report
from DR.. Sheldon jackson, at Dyea, to
the effect thai reindeer are a failure in
Alaska for want of proper forage, and
useless for all the exploring expeditions
in Alaska; that many are already dead,
but that moss has been found by which
part of the herd may be saved: that the
time lost will compel the reorganization
OF exploring expedition No. II it is to
go on, but on the advice Of Captain Ray
and his own Judgment, DR.. jackson
recommends the recall Of the expedition,
remarking that Captain Ray hings full
information Of the region it wasexpected
to explore and that the services Of Cap
tain Brainard are no longer required in
that connection Expedition No. |, re-
ierrcd 10, was to have proc, e led to Daw-
son from Dyea, over what is known as
the Dawson trail, and WIS in command
OF Captain Brainard.
Acting on the commentator of
General Merriam, an order WIS issued ut
the War department today relieving
Captain Blainard from further duty with
the expeditions in Alaska and directing
him to report in person to the Commits
sary General mt Washington.

Convention Notes.

Harmony was hanging around in
very large chunks.
If defeated candidates were sore
they bound up their wounds and
sweated it out.
Chairman Dean had no axes to grind
| and he despatched business with a
rapid1ty that was gratifying.
| In the hurry of the convention re-
port yes erday the following resolution
| introduced by w. w. Bridgers was lost
sight of until after the paper went to
press
1t was Escsjed8's Mexican friends
that elected the winning ticket in the
! first ward Saturday night but Alderete
got the votes of two-thirds OF the dele
CATION.
Billy Bridgers is accused of playing
double in the second ward and making
sure of bis election as delegate by
| securing place on both tickets a Sat.
urdsy nights primaries.
"The Ell Paso county democratic con.
| ven tiOn hereby ipdorse John Conpor
for the position of superintendent OF
public buildings and grounds of the
state OF Texas and recommend him as
a straight democrat and as a man en-
inent'y qualified to fill the position. -
John Dean is an oily chap. In his
attempt to pour oil on the question OF
the commissioner from the 4th precinct
| be seemed to be following the advice
OF the old lawyer to the beginner. that
! when he had neither the law nor the
| facts on his side he should talk all
around the question.
Commissioner Armepdariz got a lit
tie mixed on the vote for county at
torney. On the second ballot Juan
waited until all the othe precincts had
voted and then inquired who was in
the lead. The secretary tod him that
Edwards had SO votes and Harvey 81
whereupon the elk votes of Socorro
were added to Ed wards's vote: how
ever on the final ballot of the % votes
cast for Harvey came from S zorro.
Many in attendance were reminded of
the ''Cinco for JONES' Incident.
When the fourth comm issioner
precinct reported that they had
agreed upon W. F.. Robi nson as COM
missioner the harmony hich had been
so prominent in the convention upi
tn that time faded away J. J. Perez
of San EliZario stated that the San
Eiizario and Qnadrilla voters would
not support Mr.. Robinson for COM
missioner but would vote for their own
candidate in the person of G. N Gar
cia. Parties tried to whip Mr.. Perez
into line but that gentleman claimed
that Mr.. Robinson had two years ago
bolted the nomination and was elected
and that the majority by which Mr..
Robinson was nominated was gain
ed by republican votes. Sew
erai parties tried to hush the
matter up, saying that the HERALD
would let every body know that the
great democratic bag of harmony had
been puuctured. Mr.. Garcia also took
q hand and said some very hard things
OF Commissioner Robinson. Garcia
declared that be had been beaten out
of the nomination by unfair means and
that be was an Independent cand ida.e
r. gardless of the act of the conven-
tion.
