REMARKABLE CHANGE.
Tract of FL paso Land That Cost Al
most Nothing Sold For Millions.

The Campbell Real Estate company,
which has recently closed out all but
few lots of the immense tract of land
formerly owned by it in this city, has
made millions out of the property.
Strange to say when the ST. Louis
firm took the land few years ago to
satisfy q bad debt of few thousand
dollars it was then worth almost moth
ing. It encircled the little town at
thst time. although the town itself was
at that time'considered to be without q
future by experts.
Gradually, however. the town built
away from the river and expanded.
New railroads came in and brought
with them hundreds OF toilers with
their unchbaskets to be filed Smelt-
ers, shops and factories built up with
the same result and soon the land that
was nsidered velueless was worth
more than a gold mine and has netted
millions to its owners.

country home at Mamaroneck, being
under the personal charge of DR.. Ro-
land du Jardin and severel nurses.
In an affidavit made by DR.. Mac
Donald he declares that Mrs. Flagler
is laboriag under the belief that she Is
the Princess Ida Alice van Shotten
Teck and that she bears evidence OF
royal heritage in her arm. She also
entertains delusion that efforts are
being made to poison her, that she
WAS never married to Mr.. Flagler;a lso,
that her husband is dead. She be-
lieves at times that she is much young
er than she really is. She Is 81 years
old.
In addition to these decisions, the
physicians say she imagines the car
of Russia intends to marry her. She
imagines, also, that she holds COM
munication with him frequently
through an unseen agency. Still an
other delusion Is that she was divorced
from Mr.. Flagler two years ago. and
will never see him again. She has
delusion that her brother, Charles
Francis Adams Shourds, Boston
merchant, is Judge of the United
instrumental in obtaining the divorce
for her.
She also believes she is great
musician and poet, and beyond this she
collects large quantities of stones and
pebbles, which che regards as rare and
valuable gems. These she keeps in
silken bags, under the delusion that
they are of such great worth that they
can be sold for large sums of money.
In affidavits, Drs. Mcdonald and
Shelton state that Mrs. Flagler:s dis
ease is progressive, incurable, delu-
sional insanity"
Mrs. Flspler owns in her OVID right
property, which is mainly Standard
Oil securities, valued at about $780,
600. She also has several hundred
thousand dollars in bank, and in addi-
tion to this owns real estate at st. Aug

TWO LITTLE ORPHANS.
Pass Through the City on Their Way
From Utah to the Home of a
Relative in East Texas.

Ed and Sam McFarlane arrived last
night from Salt Lake City. They are
thirteen and nine years of age respec-
lively and are orphans.
They came all the way to Ell Paso
without a cent of money and are max
ing their way to Coleman county,
Texas, to the home of married sis
ter.
The boys have been given railway
tickets from place to place along the
route and landed here from Albuquer-
que where the mayor ticketed them
to this point. They applied to the
police and have received plenty to eat
and a place to sleep since they have
been in the city.
This morning the mayor applied to
the T. & P. and was told that the boys
would be put through to Fort Worth
for S12. so and this amount the city will
pay. A letter to the mayor of Fort
Worth from the mayor of Ell Paso will
introduce the boys in that city and
they will doubtless have no difficulty
in reaching their destination.

The weather conditions throughout
New Mexico during the past few days
seem to have been of general char
ac,er, with heavy rainfalls, the humi-
dity of the atmosphere high, like the
soggy, sultry, eastern weather. 1t has
now rained eight successive days in
Santa Fe, the precipitation last week
being 2 81 inches or Is above the
normal for the week.
The Rio Grande river took sudden
rise at this point yesterday due to the
freshets in the vicinity, but it has since
receded until now there is very little
water in the channel.
1t is reported that two large bodie 9
of water are making their way down
the channel and should reach Ell Paso
before long. Near Albuquerque the
river is almost dry.
The rains down the valley have been
of immense benefit to the farmers who
had almost counted on q failure for
their crops. The country through
which the Texas & Pacific railroad
runs received a thorough drench-
ing and from Big Springs TO PecOs the
rainfall was very great.

NOTABLE SUICIDE
Recalled by Another Misfortune to
Member of the Same Family
Baron Harden HiCkie's Mother
in-laW Is Now Confined In d Mad
HOuse.-The Baron Took His Own
Life in This City.

Life In This City.
Most residents of Ell Paso will re-
MEMBER when Baron Harden Hickie, q
nobleman of France, committed suicide
at the Pierson hotel in this city more
than a year ago.
1t will also DO remembered that the
baron was the husband of Million aire
81. NJ. Flsgler's daughter and styled
himself King James of the Princi-
pallty of Trinidad, q bleak and barren
island in some unknown sea which the
visionary baron seized and Oh which
he proposed to erect kingdom with
himself and wife as the first rulers.
The kingdom project fell fiat for want
of enthusiastic subjects and also be-
cause the British government sent q
warship to the island one day and des-
pite the protests of the king" ran up
the British flag and declared the island
Britain. However the baron spent a
barrel of his rich father-in-law's money
in furtherance of his scheme and it is
said that he took his own life when his
allowancesw was cut off.
When Hickie died, among his effects
in this city were found rich jewels,
worth a princes ransom, and coronet-,
which had been used during his brief
reign as q king.
The baron's father-in-law, II. M,
Flagler. the standard oil magnate.
came here to Investigate Harden Hick-
les death. He was anxious to hush up
the scandalous story of suicide and
stop the gossips.
Harden Hickie was wild dreamer
and probably partly insane on the sub
ject of becoming king. Word now
comes from New York that his mother
in-law, Mrs. b. M. Flsgler, has recent
ly become hopelessly insane along the
same lines.
A New York dispatch says: Mrs.
Flagler was committed to DR.. Mac
Donald's sanitsrium in March. 1897,
pursuant to an order of Judge Glider
sleeve, of the supreme court, based on
the certificates of DR.. Shelton and DR.,
Frederick Peterson, both of whom de-
clared that her condition was such as
to justify her detention in private in
stitution for the insane.
She had been in the ssnitsrium of
DR.. Choate, at Plessantville, N. Y.
for several years before her commit
ment to DR.. MacDonald's institution,
but she was removed from there for q
time and was taken care of at her
