The d. M. Read Co. opened this week,
a new department, for which they have
been preparing for the past month. This
is new departure for them, and ia no
less than the installing of complete
line Of furniture upon the top floor of
their large store.
This move has been under consider
alton for long time, but 1t WAS only re-
Gently that the firm announced its inten
ton to carry furniture as well as the
many other lines of house furnishing
goods kept in stock. A very handsome
display of the kind of goods which will
be found on sale, is made in the Main
street window of the carpet department,
The entrance to the new department is
through the carpet room, and then by
the elevator to the top floor, where four
large rooms are devoted to the display
Of as handsome line Of furniture as has
ever been shown in Bridgeport. Nearly
TO- 900 feet of floor space is used, and it is
the intention of the managers to Increase
this in the near future.
In the selection of the line of goods to
be handled, quality has been the first
consideration, and every article in the
large stock IL the best Of its kind. A
general line of furniture is carried, in
Guiding chiffoniers, book cases, secretar-
les, etc., in all of the popular woods and
finishes. Ash, mahogany quartered oak
birds eye, maple, and the latest fad IL
woods, Flemish oak. All of the pieces
are very handsome, some being elabor
ately carved, and the workmanship
throughout of the best.
There is an extensive line of fancy
chairs in natural woods, veneers and up
holstered, and there Is lso very large
selection of willow and rustic chairs anC
settees. Couches and Davenports arr
showR In great numbers, and are very
handsome, and there is also choice col
lection of box couches.
Hall pieces in golden oak form very
handsome and extensive part of the dis
play. One piece which is very handsome
is an elaborately carved golden oal
chest, lined with cedar, and warranted
moth proof.
China cupboards, sideboards, and il
fact everything required in modern
house furnishing will be found. Tn,
managers are making a speciality of an
tique pieces carved and plain, and slst
of marquetry work. Good quality il
characteristic of everything in the entir'
display.
The department is under the direc
management Of Mr. Smith, and the buy
ing and general uperintendence is il
charge of David Read. Courtesy ant
prompt attention are features which hav'
never been neglected at this store, ant
the new department will be no excep
ton. The public is cordially invited t.
call and inspect, whether intending tt
purchase or not.

Why They Are Good.

The claim Is made that there Is less
crime among the five tribes OF Indian
Territory than among a similar number
Of whites. AS the Indians are guarded
from the sale Of liquor and in many
other ways protected from temptation,
the statement may have some truth In
it. But the same claim might be made
relative to the brace of hundreds Of men
in the New Mexico ~penitentiary. None
Of them commits any offense for which
a penalty greater than an application
Of the spanking machine Is admins
tered, and many Of them are really
good, kind men while they are not at
large and under temptation. But the
majority would lose their present cred
its for good conduct If amid different
surroundings. The man who is unable
to write hardly deserves praise for new
er having been guilty Of writing SLAM
derous epistles. Some Of the credit
marks claimed for the Ave tribes arr
about as logical as such a claim would
be for the man who never learned to
make pothooks.

In the South African campaign Gen.
eral Gatacre has learned that the ma
lives Of the British states are hostile.
The commander has issued an order
that all males over IL years Of age who
reside within a radius Of some miles Of
his military camps must remove to
more distant points or else camp at
places which he will designate. This
order is issued as a precaution against
information being conveyed to the Boer
force concerning the military strength
Of British commands and their move
ments. It will only help to strengthen
the Boer forces, for farmers who are
ordered from their homes will naturally
prefer to be soldiers than r~econcentra-
dos, II they are In sympathy with the
people Of the Transvaal, as must be the
case, or the commander would not seek
to corral them a la Weyler.

Solicitor General. Bartlett, After Corporations.

Inc Compiled Laws or New Mexico
contain a requirement in section 445
that all foreign corporations doing bust
ness in this territory must file certified
copies Of their charters or articles of
Incorporation in the office of the secre-
tary of the territory, and must also des-
ignate through the same method an
agent residing in the territory and name
the principal place of business of the
company. There are, of course, certain
fees required Of such corporations to be
paid upon making such filings, Blu.
these fees are only such as corporations
organized under the laws of the terri
quires foreign corporations to file SINH
lar copies with the recorder of the
county in which the principal place of
business is located. The object is to
give outside corporations no undue ad-
vantage, and also to protect the terri
tory and citizens should there be cause
of action through the courts, SO that
service of papers upon a representative
Of the company in the territory could BE-
made.
Generally there is prompt obedience
to this law upon the part of corpora
tions, which in the nature of things ex-
pect protection from the territory for
corporation property. One corporation.
which considers itself so formidable
that it can ignore OF delay obedience to
the statute, has made itself liable to
trouble. The Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company, which may also be found to
have been guilty of violating the ter
ritorial laws against trusts and combi-
nations concerning the sale of commod-
tiles, has failed to file the required pa
pers, although 1t has now been operat-
ing In this county for several months
as lessee Of the coal mines and the mer.
camille business heretofore managed by
the Cerrillos Coal Railroad Company.
This company, chartered in Colorado,
conducts the mining business under its
Colorado NAME, and a mercantile bust
ness under The name of the Colorado
Supply Company, which latter organi-
zation is rumored t. be evading the law
against paying employees in scrip, to
compel them to buy goods at the COM
pany store. For this proceedings may
be instituted, as we'll as prosecution
against the officers of the fuel COM
pany, II it can be established that there
is a combination to limit the produc-
ton of coal and to maintains certain
prices.
Be that as it may, Solicitor Genera!
Bartlett has taken steps to deprive this
dual corporation of the privilege of do
ing business in the territory, at least
unless it renders obedience to the laws.
The commencement of quo warranto
proceedings in the district court and
the order by Judge McFie for the two
corporations to show cause why they
should not be- allowed to operate in New
Mexico without obeying the statutes are
timely. The Corporations which enjoy
benefits in New Mexico must be held to
strict a%ccountab 1lity, and 1t Is we'll be-
ginning shall be- made upon one that is
powerful, for action in such case will
have the effect of serving notice that
the territory will grant no undue favors.
