NO RACES AFTER ALL.
The Promoters are Disguised at the
Lack of Interest and Have
Dropped the SCheme-The Thing
Mas Sprung Too Suddenly.

The great spring meeting, which
has been talked of so much of late, has
been declared off and it is the topic OF
conversation or the streets today.
Several days ago Col. Pate, who is
the owner of several fast horses, came
here from the City of Mexico and with
the assistance of several local horse
men grand spring meeting to take
place here next month WAS projected.
A call for q me citing of all interested in
horse racing was called to take place
in the reception room of the Ruby
saloon a few nights ago. At that
meeting there were Charley Hunt, Al
Howard, Harry Chairman, Geo. Ogden
and Col. Pate.
1t was decided at that meeting to
elect Jim Mogoffin president, Charley
Hunt secretary, and Geo. Ogden treas
urer. The president was empowered
with the authority to appoint an exc
cutive committee and he did so and
called a meeting to take place at Har-
ry Woods real estate Office last night
at 8 o'clock. A very small crowd put
in an appearance and 1t was decided to
adjourn and meet this morning in the
Ruby reception room.
There were fewer at the me ting
this morning than there were last
night and President Magoffin became
thoroughly disgusted and suggested to
clared off and it was so ordered.
DR.. A. K. Albers, who is q member
of the executive committee, was ap-
preached by HERALD reporter this
morning on the racing subject and he
said: 81 was appointed on the execut-
i've committee and If the race is de-
clared off, Col. Pate has no good reason
to feel sore toward the people of Ell
Paso. There is not more liberal town
in the country than is the Gate City,
but this thing was sprung on the spur
of the moment and the people were not
prepared and they were not given
ample time in which to consider it.
mot only should few of our people
have beer regarded in this matter, but
the pulse of the people generally
should have. been felt as regards the
advisability of going ahead with the
races.
''All they wanted was $500 and il
the proper guarantee was given our
people that amount could have been
raised in less than four hours.''
Mr.. Albers has had considerable ex-
perience with subscription lists in Ell

SLIGHTLY MUDDLED.
A Man From. Mexico Appeared to
Need a Guardian.

W. G. Hinton reached the city
Wednesday night from Durango. Mex
leo. He was on his way to California,
where he said he resided.
While in this city Hinton's peculiar
actions excited sconsid ers BILE comment,
and those who conversed with him
were led to believe that his brain was
partially paralyzed.
He went to Pomeroy's stable and Or
dered his trunk shipped to Bells, Tex
as. He could not remember the name
of the town, but after referring to
folder found it. Hinton was well
dressed and we'll supplied with money.
He showed several persons letter
signed by San Francisco physician
saying that he (Hinton) might get sick
at any time and requesting whoever
read the letter to see that he got the
best of care and forward the bill to
Frisco,
Hinton's mind was badly muddled
up, but otherwise he appeared to be
quite healthy. He is about 40 years OF
age.

JEWS AND THE DAY OF REST.
A Movement for the General Observ.
anCe of the Christian Sabbath.

According to history and tradition,
all nations attaining to any degree OF
civilization have had q periodical day
of rest and worship. Large nam bers OF
people have wandered away from the
teachings of divine revelation. Differ
emit nations had different days, the
periods between them varying. The
old testament, the grand old Jewish
bible equally priced by Christians, con-
record of the creation of man, and of
the law demanding the observance of
one-seventh of our time as day of
rest and worship.
On account of violations of the Sab
bath law, in addition to other sins, the
Lord permitted some of the height Dor
ing nations, enemies of the Jews, to
conquer their country, and to carry
large numbers of them into captivity.
Among the captives were worthy Jews,
involved in q general calamity, doubt
less to testify to the power and holiness
of the true God in q foreign land, who
still chung persistently to him even
when threatened with the penalty of
death for not worshipping idols.
From this, however, God delivered
them. as notably in the attempted de-
struction of Daniel by casting him into
the lions den and the three Hebrew
CulluFeu luLO Iue uSTy luTuoCo.
AS there Ia no account of any conflict
with regard to the rest-day, we may
suppose that the Jews, with the divine
permission, fell quietly into the OBJ
servance of such a day as had been
adopted by the people among whom
they were then living.
Now for centuries past, 81 the most
civilized nations have observed with
more or less fidelity, the Christian
Sabbath, thus securing the same pro-
portion of rest as the Jewish Sabbath.
AS rule. the Jews have quietly &C
quiesced in this national law and GUS
toms SO far as business is concerned,
the better class of them.
We should ask the question. In
what nation were laws first secured
the duty of protecting the
Jews in their just rights. as citizens,
as business men, and in their own form
of worship? History records that it
was in Great Britain and the United
Sabbath or rest day Is protected by
law. In both counties, thus protected,
and possessing q natural industry and
thrift they have grown into prosper
GUS people; frat, financially, there being
among them q large aggregate of
wealth. One firm alone, the Rothschilds
of England and France, have for many
years been called the bankers of the
world, various nations being indebted to
them to the amount of many millions.
Then, as q peace factor, they are per
haps second to the influence of the
religion alone in preventing
wars. And better still
many of them have attained to high
degree of mental culture aud quite
mum Der to the highest positions, es-
pecially in Eugland, as writers, lawyers
and statesmen.
We are glad to state that some of our
jewish friends express a strong wish
for q rest day, if it can be gener ally
and they are willing to accept
the only day recognized rs such by
the national and state laws, thus secur-
ing harmony in the hours of business
and rest for both Jews and gentiles.

A new PARSONAGE ASSURED
Five Hundred Dollars Donated and
$500 Loaned for the ConstruC-
lions of a Trinity M. e. parson-
ACE at This POINT.

age at This Point.
For some time past an effort has
been made to erect at this point q par
sonage for the pastor of the Trinity M
E. church.
The annual meeting of the Woman
Home Mission society convened at Dali
las several days ago and when the OPP
pOrtunity was ripe, Mrs. j. w. Brown,
of this city; took the floor and in con-
vincing speech before the meeting, she
asked that money be donated for the
construction of Trinity parsonage in
Ell Paso. After due consideration the
society decided to make donation for
this purpose to the amount OF $500 and
to loan $500 more at q reasonable inter-
est.
Mrs. Brown was more than pleased
with her success and Immediately
wrote the facts to her husband, who is
cashier at the G. n. & S. A. freight
Office at this point. She states that
steps will be taken Immediately toward
erecting the parsonage.
The new parsonage will be in addi-
ton to the one already here and it is
said that it will equal any like building
in the southwest.
The meeting has adjourned and Mrs.
Brown is visiting relatives in Honey
Grove, Texas, where she will remain
for few days and then return to her
home in this city. She deserves great
credit for her untiring efforts and sub
sequent success in securing aid from
the society to erect the parsonage.

Don't fail to call and get a bargain
in shoes at f. J. Burhyte's.

An open winter is predicted based
upon what certain weather forecasters
consider unmistakable signs. Some
of these refer to animals, as the
muskrat. 1t is claimed that the
muskrat builds his winter house in
accordance with his preconceiyed view
of the weather. Some refer to the
coverings of seeds, as corn shucks, the
bark of nuts and the like, and some
to the coats Of animals and the feath-
ers of birds. Others refer to the bios
soming of plants so late in the fall.
But all of them rely more upon the
continuance of mild weather as they
make their predictions.
