Easter Music.

This is Good Friday, the anniversary
of the day on which the Savior was
crucified without the walls of Jeru-
salem at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
Su table services are being held in the
Catholic and Episcopal churches all
over the country, and in Mexico,
images of Judas Iscariot are being
burned and dragged through the
streets of the cities in contempt OF the
man who was SO mean as to sell out for
thirty sh, kels the best friend he ever
had. Mankind has no use for one who
will deliberately and for lucre, betray
trusting friend.
Next Sunday is Easter, and glorious
music in the praise of almighty God
will be sung in all the churches OF the
land. 1t is becoming the thing now
a-days to introduce Orchestras into the
organ lofts at Easter and Christmas,
reinforcing the organ, and making the
services much more impressive FL

in public discussion before the citizens
of Ell Paso at q convenient time and

Informing me that it would be colo
day when he descended to the level OF
Mr.. Jones and engaged in apolitical
d scussion with him."

thou Sht of such q reply Mrs. Stanton
said: 81 do not zee why Mr.. Clifford
should consider himself q political au-
tOcrat IL is true, he has had better
educational advantages than Mr.. Jones,
but it is also q ia It that Mr.. Jones has
more common sense or patural ability
than Mr.. Clifford. Jones ia known to
be honest and fearless, and it would be
quite u relief as we'll as q security to
the people of Ell PAso to have q man

people have patronized the game free
ly up to the past two seasons. and I
think when the rapid growth of Ell
Psso is taken under consideration by
some good manager, be could easily
see his way clear to get a team up for
the coming season. OF course, it would
be almost impossible to get up . team
composed of local players entirely, but
it would not be necessary to get any
outside players except perhaps q ba t.
terry and one or two infielders. There
is some splendid local talent in tow q
now, players who have come here 20
live, and no doubt they would be glad
to join q tam. The old base ball
grounds could be put in good condition
at little expe nse, the biggest outlay
being that of building Q erapd stand
aud fencing the park Sur dry In Ell
Paso is an rwful dull day, and I be-
lieve the Ell Paso public would patron
ize the game we'll the coming season.
It'll to be hoped that the local players
will get up te am of their own If no
one else will get one up. and cnce the
game is started perhaps an associ tion
will be formed ard the team stre myth.

That Fern andis Case.

Politics must be waxing wan in Ell
Paso. Yesterday afternoon Joe Fer
nandis was arrested under d capias
pro fiuem, issued the day before by
Justice Bridgers, to enforce payment
of fine of one dollar and costs amount
ing to thirty-four dollars and ten ce ats.
That doesn't look much like politics;
its too ancient. But ice says it is.
On the 18Th day of last June Fernan-
dis was fined in Justice Bridgers court
for disturbing the peace, one dollar
and costs. He took an appeal to the
county court and either through the
negligence of his then Attorneys Pat
terson and Wallace, one . candidate
for reelection IS city recorder and the
triot attorney, or through the careless
ness of Justice Brideers, who, by the.
way, thinks he 10 runuing for q nomina-
tion for legislative honors, there was
nothing in the Transcript to show that
notice Of appeal had been given; 80
tho appeal was dismissed in the county
court on that ground.
Mr.. Fernar dis was shortly thereaf-
ter informed by the constable that q
capias hao reen issued aud when asked
what he was going to do about it, be
stated that he would have to 60 10 Jail,
as he had no steady employment, was
sick and did not know when he could
pay up. Now, going to Jail may be
hard on tn s. defendant, bat it does not
furnish any trimmings to tho Justices
court Justice Rridgers, acting undo T
the advice of the county attorney, told
Fernandis that this was not Jail.
able'' case, but that the money would
have to be collected from the sureties
on the appeal bond. Fernandis again
stated that be desired to "lay it out in
jail" a. he could not pay tho amount
due.
Nothing was done in the matter then
for some months. Constable Farrell
again asked Joe what he was going to
do and practically the same converse
ton took place, and In addition Mr..
Patterson told FernandIs that there
was no way of enforcing tho payment
| and that he could not DO sent Jail on
refusal to pay.
But In q few more months city pol
itics began to warm up. Ferpandis
was told that b had better keep out
Of it (uuless he hads proper views) ~
otherwise the old case would be raked
up or go to Jail.
Joe couldn't see things that way,
however, and took q hand. It might
be remarked in passing that like the
Irishman he was "ferninst tho govern.
ment."
So, yesterday Joo spent the major
part of tho afternoon in the county
jail. He was released late in the day
| through the efforts of friends an1 ,
At present, Is trying the reconcile the
statement of Justice BridRers that
''there is no politics in it" with tie
peculiar condolences which have been
90 forcibly brought to his notice.
Justice Bridgers says that at one
time he did tell Fernandis that his was
not 81 ailable" case under the circum-
stances, but that he after " ards re-
tracted and told him it was "pay or
jail" Fernandis says it was q case OF
