TERMINATED SUDDENLY.s
Trial of the African Methodist
Church Trustees Postponed.

The celebrated African Methodist
Episcopal church squabble before
Judge Harper in the county court
terminated suddenly yesterday after
tention to the fact that the complaint
filed against Fuller and Smith did not
state in what year the alleged offense
of ''disturbing public Worship was
committed. He said there was no
necessity OF proceeding further with
the trial.
County Attorney Ed wards thereupop
filed motion that the case be dis
missed and the Judge SO ordered.
Warrants were Immediately issued
for the rearrest of the defendants and
the papers were served on them before
they left their seats.
The state announced itself in readi-
ness to proceed with the new case but
defendants attorneys asked for time to
summons new witnesses and the court
allowed them one day for that pur-
pose.
Rev. DR.. Brown who came here to
look after the spiritual welfare of the
Ell Paso African Methodist Episcopal
flock, as told in yesterdays HERALD,
did not meet with an exceptionally
warm reception from the trustees of
the local congregation. It ia stated
that they wanted Rev. Hickman re-
tanned and that Rev. Hickman IVES
equally as anxious to keep his old pas
torate instead of removing to Waco.
Reverend Hickman and the flock
held services in the Baptist church
and the trustees locked the doors of
the Methodist church 30 that Rev.
Brown could not enter. It
was these and other arbi-
trsry acts that caused Rev. Brown
to swear out warrants for the arrest
of two of the trustees.

Vast Deposits Of Birthstone
Are Being Developed.
MUCH CAPITAL INVESTED
Residents Of st. Louis See Fortunes
In the Sulphur Beds And Have
Gone After Them With A WILL
Reduction Works Put In At A Cost
Of $4,000

A. A. Chouteau, one of the wealth.
lest and most prominen citizens of st.
Louis, is frequent visi tor to Ell PasO
He is manager for the company which
at PRESENTS developing the vast beds
of sulphur located in the northeastern
part of this county.
The sulphur beds are situated in
what is knownas the Delaware country,
and the Delaware river, a stream that
does not often have water in its chan
mel flows by.
Chouteau's company has: taken up
about sc, 900 acres of land, all of which
ara covered with sulphur to a depth
of many feet. The sulphur covers the
surface and is in many places exposed
to view. At other points 1t is neces-
sary to remove the dirt for foot or
more before reaching the sulphur.
Several other parties have taken up
claims in the vicinity, among them
Garman and Prince of ST. Louis. The y
own about 25 claims.
Chouteau has established on his land
refining works at cost OF nearly $50
600. The machinery for the reduction
works is very heavy and was shipped
to Pecos on the Texas aud Pacific from
ST. Louis. From Pecos it went via the
Pecos Valley road to Guadalupe and
from that point it was hauled sixteen
miles by wagon to the sulphur claim.
rock taken from THE claims runs to
80 percent birthstone and there fore
the mines must be OF immense value.
The demand for sulphur in the
United States far exceeds the supply
and a ready market will be found for
the output of the Ell Paso county
mines. This country imports from
forty to fifty millions of dollars worth
of sulphur per annum from uSicily. 1t
is used il thousand ways besides as q
drug.
Hat blescheries, paper factories,
sugar refineries and other factories
consume vast quantities of it.
County Surveyor Parker has often
visited the sulphur beds and made land
surveys for the owners. He returned
only q short time ago from that locali-
ty and brought back several valuable
specimens. 81 knew of the existence of
the beds ten years ago." said the coun-
ty surveyor, in talking to HERALD
reporter, land tried many times to in
terest Ell Paso capitalists in them but
none of them were willing to take hold
of the enterprise. Chouteau has been
in possession little over year and
will realize an immense fortune from
his investment"
The development of the sulphur
deposits in Ell Paso county means
great deal and will add materially to
the wealth of the county.

stories, once made, are never forgot
| ten. They are repeated, by request, as
often as the maker will provide them;
the characters may develop, but must
remain the same, for good or bad; and
the best-beloved children, animals or
others in these epics of the nursery
may be as edifying and didactic as the
teller likes to make them. II their united
example tends to incline his hearers to
regard the author as b person deserv-
ing of their affection, who can blame
his artful rhetoric? Its object is to
please, and by pleasing to gain its re-
ward ,;the liking of the listeners.
The love of children won by elders
who are neither parents nor close rela-
tions is a special compliment, because
they cannot compete with children in
that physical beauty which has so
great an attraction for other children.
This is the direct and spontaneous mo-
tive which induces love, almost at first
sight, between young children them
selves. Yet, xcept in the case of
we can hardly believe that children
see much beauty in their female
elders, or in men at all. The point of
view from which they see us is against
this suppo=itiop. Those who are
blessed with good looks are too tall, in
comparison with them, ever to be seen
to advantage. To be looking up at
ened from below, the least becoming
of all points for the human face, cannot
give them a pleasing impression.
Neither do we see the beauty
of children to the best ad-
vantage as we look down on their faces
foreshortened from above. That is
why the beauty Of pretty children al
ways appears irresistible when they
are in bed, and their faces seen IS they
lie on their pillows, or even in sleep.
The astonishing beauty of some chill
dren at such times passes that of any
other human creatures; it ia q faith
freely confessed by those who know 1t,
and one to which those who do not sue
cumb with the frankest and most un-
grudRlnR capdOr.
THE CHILD'S LOVE OF BEAUTY.
But the effect of this childish beauty,
great IS it is on US, is magical when
seen by one young child in another.
Where !, both children are beautiful
there is perfect alteration; for so much
beauty, and so little to detract from it
and very few little girls of from
three to elk or seven have many fail
ings-strikes them as denoting almost
perfection. The physical fact that
there is no disparity in size, that they
look level into each others faces, and
see each in the other those gifts of
beauty which they are accustomed to
hear their elders so frankly praise,
combined with those qualities Of dsin-
