The Dewey Homo Fund

II is a matter OF surprise to some that
the populace has not risen as one man
and contributed to the fund to purchase
a home for Admiral Dewey. With all
their feverish patriotism and gcnerosl-
~ the American people are inclined to
be reflective, and above nll considerable.
In the first place Admiral Dewey Is not
houseleSs or homeless wanderer. He
is not In need or want. HIS salary is
Sl3.5OO year whether he works or rests.
Further 1t was not known whether such
q project on his behalf would be agree
able to him. These things caused hesI-
fancy on the part OF the people, not be-
cause they did not want to honor him,
but that they wished to avoid offending
him. Another damper was the imperti-
nent assumption Of yellow, Journal In
the matter. which was enough to dis
credit the whole affair.
But there Is no use worrying over the
matter, for. Admiral Dewey has relieved
the perplexlty by writing to one Of his
Philadelphia friends declaring that he
will under no circumstances accept the
residence which was to be purchased by
popular subscription and presented to
him."
Then he makes q very sensible sug-
sestion. that the money already sub
scribed be employed in establishing and
maintaining sailors refuge. to be
located at one Of the prominent seaports
Of the country. Such an institution
would better perpetuate his fame and
honor than any direct personal gift.

The proposed consolidation OF
the Iron and steel sheet mills
Of the country has been de-
cfared Off for the present. The reason
for the delay In the contamination OF
the trust is that promoter Moore wants
to take a rest until the first Of July.
There ia no doubt that Mr.. Moore has
been a very busy man, but we suspect
there Is something more than that
tired feeling" that moves him to sus-
pend mental exertion at this period.

statement, is the late Mrs. Walter e.
Locke. sister of the murdered man.
The ak used to commit the crime has
not as yet been found, but it is believed
that it has been thrown into a nearby
we'll.
SOME DETAILS.
Merrill could not have inflicted the
| wounds himself. The statement, when
compared with other letters, much near
er resembles Locke's handwriting than
that of Merrill. In fact, Merrill is be-
lieved to have been too drunk to write
out d statement covering three sheets
of letter paper. One theory is that
Locke and Merrill had quarreled over
money, which, it is asserted, Merrill had
table. One of the debtors had paid a
part of the debt yesterday afternoon, a
fact of which the murderer was evident
ly ignorant.
Locke broke down and cried this
morning when he was arrested. He soon
| rallied, however, and asked that he be
released on bail. He retained A. B.
Renehan as his attorney. The evidence
against Locke is merely circumstantial.
| He maintained sturdily that Merrill
committed suicide, but when confront
| ed with the evidence acknowledged that
his brother-in-law must have been mur-
dered. Deputy Sheriff Huber is working
on the case, and has quickly succeeded
in gathering link after link in the chain
| of evidence which will be produced
against the man accused of the murder

was born at Sterling, ILL.,, where his ia

The MINING GROWTH.
Taos County Being Visited by Investors
The Oarrillns Smalter,

Ex-Governor Prince said this after
noon that not since 1880 has there been
such an influx of eastern capitalists to
New Mexico looking for mining invest
ments. For instance, there is scarcely
a train on the Denver & Rio rande
railroad leaving here that does not car
ny mining investors to the Taos coun-
try, 1t is the same all over the terri
tory, and is not the result Of an inflated
boom, but of solid growth that must
follow prospecting of the mineral dis
tricts in so rich a territory as that of
New Mexico. In Denver last week, in a
conversation with a prominent repre-
sentative of the smelter trust, the eX-
governor was told that now would be a
splendid chance for the Cerrillos smelt-
er to resume operations. The smelter is
not in the trust, and is idle. AS coal,
lime and other material for operating
are right at hand at Cerrillos, and all
hauling is on a down grade, the smelteI
could now be operated with a profit.
The chief owner is in Detroit, j. H.
Vaughn and DR.. D. w. Manley being
the Santa Fe representatives of the
smelter company.

PROTECTING INDIANS.
An Effort Being Made to Keep Smallpox
Out of Pueblos.

Charles e. Burton, supervising teach
er Of the Indians in this territory, this
morning went to San. Ildefonso, and
from there goes to Santa Clara and San
Juan. The smallpox prevails among the
people near the Indian pueblos, and
Burton went to prevent it's spreading to
the Indians. He went on a similar err
rand to those villages a month ago, and
the people at that time promised to OBJ
serve a strict quarantine. But they have
failed to take any precautions. Mr..
Burton, therefore, consulted with Gov
ernor Otero Saturday about the matter.
The governor gave him a letter to citi-
zens around the pueblos, commanding
them to observe the .strictest uaran
tine, lest the interior department of the
national government tske the matter in
hand and cause considered e trouble to
the offenders. If the MeXicans will not
heed the letter, the sheriff will be sent
to the pueblos to enforce the quarantine
and to arrest ell those breaking it.

A Good Thing Well Done.

New and pleasing ideas in advertising
always interest. Nothing has appeared
for years which is so attractive as the
Hoods ~Sarsaparilla advertisements, util-
izing proverbs and wise sayings as head
ing, each followed by a little homily
cleverly connecting the proverb with the
subject. Besides this, the quaint Jensen
italic type for the preliminary sentences,
finishing with a script slogan, 'Hood's
Sarsaparilla Never D%isappoints," adds
to the effectiveness. All this work is
running in we 1000 papers.
