A FALSE ALARM
The Duty On Corn Will Not Be Re-
moved BY Mexico.

Shippers have been stirred up by the
report that Mexico would remove the
duty on corn on January 1. 1t Was al
legged that q resident of the state of
chihuahua had made contracts with q
mum Der of Kansas City grain men for
the shipment of untold thousands of
bushels of corn, which were to reach
the border by January l, and be stored
in Ell Paso to await the raising of the
duty. Being the:frst to cross into Mex
leo, the shipper would reap a rich har
vest.
The railroad representatives inter-
ested in Mexico traffic autographed
headquarters for Information as soon
as the story was given publicity, but 1t
appears. according to the Topeka
Journal, that the Mexican government
has no intention OF removing the duty
at this time. and all corn going into
Mexico will have to pay the regular
tariff

DR.. RAMSER DEAD
Passed Away Yesterday After a
Long Illness. Remains Shipped
To His Old Home.

DR.. Mark Ramser, for two years and
three months resident of Ell Paso,
died yesterday at his home after a
long hopeless fight against the dread
disease, consumption. DR.. Ramser
came to Ell Paso for his health. He
opened an Office here and built up q
large practice. In his speciality of
diseases of the eye, ear, nose and
throat he was widely known as an
efficient physician. He made many
friends here apd his death ia greatly
regretted.
About three weeks ago the doctor
was taken with his final illness. He
was unmarried and was 26 years old.
The following physicians assembled
at Naeley & Lyons undertaking par
lors last evening and accompanied the
remains GO the Santa Fe train. Dire.
o. G. Irwin, E.. II. Irwin,
Wright. Race, Horsley, Thompson,

The remains we're shipped to DR..
Ramser's former home, Rock Island,
Ill. His brother, Eugene Ramser, was
with him at the last and accompanied
the remains home.

NOAH AND THE FLOOD.

necessary
OverpOpuIation of the Earth.
The building of the ark proves that
the family of Noah must have pos
sessed and transmitted a large inner
itance of knowledge and skill in arts
that were common to men before the
flood, says the Brooklyn Citizen. The
magnitude and seaworthiness of that
great specimen of antediluvian marine
architecture, not less than 600 feet in
length and 100 feet in breadth and,
with it's three decks, at least go feet in
depth, are conclusive testimony to a
proficiency in the arts such as we
should expect from the immense adj
vantage at which men worked who had
hundreds of years in which to .ac
cumulate skill, experience and meth
DDS, instead of dropping their life work
as soon as well begun, like the artisans
and engineers of the present day.
With lives ten times as long and Wig
Orous as ours, how long would it have
taken the antediluvians to fill up the
eastern hemisphere or both hemi-
spheres? Allowing them the 1855 years
of Moses chronology for a maximum, we
shall stand aGhaSt at our own figures
If we take the smallest conjecturable
ratio of increase in computing the pop
ulation engulfed by the deluge. AT
only three times postdiluvian ratio, or
40 per century, the population would
have passed the present number of
mankind in a little more than IL cen
turtles, and when that great day came
the flood would have found as it's in
conceivable prey a population 400 times
as large as the earth now sustains.
Although the antediluvian patriarchs,
with their average lifetime of nine
centuries, be assumed to correspond to
our present ''oldest inhabitants" who
may average at most nine decades,
we must still infer that the general
average of human life was, in like
manner, ten times as long by nature
before the flood as now. OF itself this
heightened term must have several
times multiplied the present ratio of in
crease in population. The much great
er proportion of persons who lived to
become parents, with the heightened
term of parentage in the individual,
must have still further multiplied the
ratio of increase.
After making all possible allowances
or even supposing no greater ratio of
increase in the worst of the antedilu-
Wan centuries than has prevailed since
we are compelled to accept the Mosaic
chronology as the longest that the linn
its of probability and of the capacity
of the eastern hemisphere will bear,
and not only so, but the deluge itself
becomes another logical necessity
that utter destruction of all families
of the earth save one was the only al
tentative to an overcrowding of the
earth.
