About 10 conciude Their .abors.

AS the CENSOR goes to press the
county board has almost concluded its
deliberations and adjournment will be-
had undoubtedly Wednesday morning.
This IS about the length of the annual
sessions during recent years. We have
q u the time or opportunity to review
the boards work in this issue. One
thing, however, the CENSOR is grstified
to know has been done that should for
ever settle and stamp as unwarranted
the rumors that have been agitated coz
corning YUM management and affairs.
A committee OF the most conservative
aud thoughtful members have given
thorough investigation of the charges
and their unanimous findings are that
the rumors are unfounded IN every in
stance and particular. The CENSOR will
not attempt to review the subject today,
but will in subsequent issue treat the
matter assit deserves.
Mr.. Elijah Iii ton, who has filed laost
acceptably the position of superiuten-
dent of poor, was reelected at Monday
mornings session.
After quite little struggle in COM
mlttes, but almost unanimous vote by
the board, to defray half the expense,
$40, of extending the city water main

ness principles and for the welfare of
the people and comfort OF the unfortn-
mates who are maintained therein. He
said the asylum management asked the
co operation Of the people in maintain
ing the excellence of the institution;
they courted the scrutiny and investi-
gat!on of the public. There were now,
as there always had been, he said,
rumors and charges afoat that were
malicious and without foundation in
fact.
Wednesday, on Invitation of the asy-
lum management, the board paid its
annual official visitation to the county
asylum, and Thursday evening did the
same at the aims house. If ''seeing is
believing" the CENSOR is confident that
all hands were convinced of the business
or giving the credit due for the excellent
supervision of these two institutions.

THE kIRMESS.
To Be Given Soon For The Benefit
OF The Public Library

IT don't know exactly what it will
be, but l am told it is very beautiful
and nearly hundred people are going
to take part"-a BERALD re.
preventative, acciden tally overhearing,
became curious Ia way reporters have)
and he sought enlightenment.
The sp aker referred to the kirmess
which will be given in this city prob
ably during the first week of Deem
Der. The kirmess in Europe is an out
door festival or fair, with dancing,
games, and merrymakiDg. In Belgium
and Holland particularly the kirmess is
q national pastlme, and may almost be
called characteristic of those nations.
The festival is descended from the
ceremonies that formerly attended the
celebration of church holy days, and
even now these outdoor fairs or kir-
messes are usually held on church feast
days according to ancient custom.
In this country the term has come to
be applied to another sort of merry
making. The kirmess is usually an in
door, entertainment, consisting prin-
tableaus, and artistic displays of cos
tune.
Ell Paso is soon to have an opportu-
nifty of witnessing one of these most
delightful entertainments. For weeks
Miss Hogan, the physical culture
teacher, and Miss Florence Beall have
been engaged in training the large
mum Der of young men and women,
older people and children who will
participate in the kirmess.
At Chopin hall every afternoon a re-
hearsal Is held, and progress among
the pupils lie rapid. The entertainment
will be given entirely by home talent.
There will be some attractive musical
numbers, and some fancy dancing by
individuals. But the main features of
the evening will be the fancy dances
in groups and the illustrated poem"
Longfellow's "Tales of Wsyside
Inn" will be read by q popular young
elocutionist, and IS the reading pro-
crosses the poem will be illustrated by
tableaus and groups composed of young
society people. The feature is new
one here, and it bids fair to be q most
attractive one.
The children will give the dance of
roses. the paper doll dance, the butter
fly dance, and the Spanish dance. The
red, white and blue dance, devised by
Miss Hogan. will be given by three
young girls. 1t is likely that the
older ones will present the dances of
the nations in costume.
A part of the proceeds of the enter
tainment is to be devoted to the Ell
Paso public library.

Madrid, June 24-The minister for
war, General Correa, IT Is announced,
has received an official dispatch from
Santiago de Cuba announcing that the
Americans first attack on Puenta Ber-
race has been repulsed after a hard
fought and bloody engagement"
Puenta Berraco is situated a short dis
lance from Baiquiri, where the United
States troops landed on Wednesday.
1t is nearer the coast. and therefore
more completely under the guns of
the American fleet, from which 1t can
be Judged that 1t is highly improbable
that the army has been repulsed. as
announced in Madrid.
During the afternoon a semi-omcial
note was issued 'in order to avoid a
misunderstanding" pointing out that
merely the Spanish left retired and
took up a position in the mountains,
owing to the Americans landing nine
klometers east of Baiquiri, where there
were no Spanish troops, and endeavor-
ing to out1ank the Spaniards."
The note hen continues: This part
of the coast Is very unhealthy, and
yellow jack is rampant"
The Spanish official dispatches are
announced to have created an excellent
impression here, as indicating the
immense difficulties of the advance or
Santiago de Cuba"
The dispatches from Cuba were read
in the senate here. ~whereupon the sen
ators made patriotic speeches. Sena.
