Ell PASO receives with acclamations
the decision to convert the Sheldon
block into fine hotel. The plans that
have been proposed for remodeling the
building are attractive. If carried out
on the scale now contemplated. the
hotel will be one of the finest in the
state. and decidedly the best in the
southwest. Ell Paso should give all
possible encouragement to this new
enterprise. and our people should ex-
ert every effort to counterfeit the i'm
preston that has gone abroad that Ell

ties. The city will Immediately be
benefited by the change, for property
ia the vicinity of the new hotel will in
crease considerably in value, while at
the same time the conversion of the
Sheldon block will cause an immediate
demand for Offices and stores. 1t is
limited that the Center Block, which
has just changed hands, will be utiliz-
ed for Offices. 1t is also said that Mr..
Sheldon will before long erect q four

THE determined effort of the Texas
state authorities to shut the Waters
Pierce Oil company, braLch of the
Standard, out of Texas is of extraordi-
nary interest to every individual, and
the contests of lawyers and courts will
be closely watched. Cases are now
pending in the United States supreme
court upon constitutional questions,
and decision in these cases will in
volve the validity of the Texas anti
trust law of 1889. The New Mexico
territorial supreme court has just de-
cided that the law passed by the last
legislature requiring corporations to
take out license to do business in the
territory is unconstitutional, as far
as it relates to the Continental Oil
company, a branch of the Standard Oil
company, for the reason that it con-
ficts with the interstate commerce
laws. This decision seems to cover the
Texas case exactly, and if the federal
courts take q similar view of the Texas
cases our efforts to Danish the oil trust
are in vain.

THE psrdoning of Dreyfus is received
by the world with equanimity. It
seems to have been generally looked
upon as foregone conclusion, much as
the surrender of the Spaniards was
considered during the late war. So
far as the man himself is concerned, he
will probably have no more to fear
from the French government, but his
vindication is not yet complete. France
will not be relieved of the odium that
has been cast upon her until she shall
officially declare Dreyfus not guilty of
the crime of which he was charged. It
is not very soothing to free man, in
nocent and greatly wronged, to listen
to all this talk about secret delivery
from prison and smuggling across the
frontier to live in exile the rest of his
days.

MUST HAVE A BIG HEAD.
But Not Every Big Head Will Get
Into the White House.

"All things being equal" said the
| phrenOlOgist, 'size is the measure of
power. That Is, man with q small
| head cannot get to be president of the
United States, nor can a really small
man attain to that position. They
have q comparison of the men who
have been presidents of our nation,
heads and their respective weights,
which goes to show that they have
been tall men and that they have had
large heads.
"Phrenologists also state that be-
cause a man has a large head it is no
reason to believe that he has an un-
usual amount of brain power. But they
cay that he has the best opportunity
for development and he can cram more
with the smaller head. People with
thin heads are usually ruled by the
broad heads. The protuberance i'm
mediately above and behind the ears
denotes executive force and ability,
and a man with a narrow head has
little of this power. The best lawyers
and statesmen have wide. broad heads.

located in front on each side of the top

''You can generally tell whether a
man is refined in his tastes by the width
of his forehead above the eyebrows If
he has a good development above his
eyes he is a man who knows what is
going on in the world about him. You
can tell mans generosity and his
sympathetic powers by the Size of his
head at the forward portion on top.
You can also determine something
about his own estimation of himself
and his ability to stand by point If he
thinks he is in the right by knowing
the exact size of his head from the
middle of each ear to the crown. His
fighting qualities and his ability to
make his way in the world are denoted
by slight elevations behind and above
the ears. The size of mans head is
determined by running measure
around it just above the eyebrows to
the back of the head, passing over the
occipital home"

A CHILD PER1sHEs.
Little Girl Loses Her Life and Several
Persons Burned In n New York
Tenement Fire

New York, July 12.-Fire at three
o'clock Tuesday morning in n five-story
brick tenement house at 101 Monroe
street caused the death of a little girl
and injured dozen other persons, none
Of whom will die. Fifteen families lived
in the house and the loss of life would
have been large but for the heroic eff
forts of the firemen. The dead girl is
Rachel SLIDER, six years old. The most
seriously injured are Samuel Landon,
hudly burned about the head, arms and
body, and Mrs. Bessie Bossick. As years
old, badly burned about the face and
body. Ten others were overcome by
smoke and are suffering from burns.
The fire started in the apartment of
Max Press, on the fourth floor, and
when discovered had made strong head
way. The fourth floor families escaped
down the stairway in their night
clothes. On the fifth floor lived the
BossiclS and SLIDER families, who es-
capped to the roof and thence were con-
veyed to neighboring house. Little
Rachel SLIDER was so badly burned that
she died few hours later Mt u hospital.
The people taken down by the firemen
were laid on the sidewalk and resusci-
tated according to the "frst aid to the
injured" rules, which DIR. Jancway
helped to. teach the firemen some
months ago. When the hospital ambu-
lances came the surgeons said that some
of the victims would have died had not
the firemen helped them in this way.

Kirk disputed with his sister over u

ride. Kirk is said to have secured his
siX-shooter and deliberately killed his
sister. He then threatened the other
members of the family with instant
death if they ever told of the crime, and
sent younger brother out to tell the
neighbors that Mrs. Marlborough had
committed suicide. At the coroner's
jury the brother broke down and ac-
knowlcdged the truth, and then Kirk
made a confession. He was held for
trial without bail.

about 25 Klondillcrs. The richest man
out this year was j. b. Heacocls, who
brought 1000 pounds of dust, worth
s250,0O0. He is an old-timcr on the Yu-

put of his rich Bonanza claim for two

GETS A FRESH START.
Detroit Street Railways Win
q Decided Victory.

Detroit, Mich, July 12.-Municipal
ownership of Detroit street railways
took fresh start Tuesday night, in
spite of the recent adverse decision of
the Michigan supreme court annulling
the appointment of the street railway
commissioners, and in spite of various
other kinds of opposition. After about
five hours of fiercest argument and
desperate filibustering the common
council by vote of 10 to IA passed the
so-called security franchise ordinance.
This ordinance prescribes the terms
under which the street railways are to
be operated by their present owners
in the event of their reversion through
the municipal corporation organized
by the late commissioners in behalf
of the city, failing to meet the pay
ments according to terms of purchase.
Mayor Maybury will veto the ordi-
nance, but Gov. Pingree and the other
promoters of the municipal ownership
plan appear to be fairly confident of
securing the votes necessary to pass
the ordinance over the mayors veto.
The veto will be presented next Tues
day night. If the security ordinance
finally passes, working ordinance,
under which the Detroit Municipal
Railway" corporation will operate the
roads, will also be passed. In the event
of passage of both ordinances the mu-
nicipal company will doubtless have
to pass through injunction proceed
ings before three-cent fares and city

COLUMBIA WINS.
Spcedier Than Her Opponent,
the Defender.

New York, July 7.-Over triangular
course of 80 miles in comparatively
light winds the new Iselin-Morgan
yacht Columbia Thursday vanquished
the Vanderbilt yacht Defender and
convinced the yachtsmen who saw the
royal struggle that she is worthy of de-
Tending the precious trophy which Sir
Thomas Upton and his merry tars hope
to take back with them in the Sham
rock next fall. The Columbia's fore
staysail and club topsail are anything
but perfect and cracked in the wind
like Transfers whip, demonstrating
that in general way she will need q
good deal of tuning up. Yet, based
upon the showing she made as better
boat than the Defender under adverse
conditions, the nautical sharps are
strongly convinced that Sir Thomas
will sail home without the silver mug,
the possession of which has given us
the yachting supremacy of the world
since 1851.
The Columbia won the race by mar
gin of three minutes fifty-three Sec
ons unofficial time). There is no
doubt she would have won by larger
margin if her sails had fitted as we'll
as the Defenders.
New York, July 1o.-At last the big
sloop yachts Columbia and Defender
have met in battle royal that has been
satisfactory to all concerned. In u
strong and fairly steady breeze and
smooth water, they Jailed over course
of about 2e miles Saturday, and in COW
ering that distance the Columbia fair
ly and squarely outsailcd the Defender
by 3 minutes 10 seconds actual time.
