protestant people do almost as bad n
the way they observe Christmas, ard
this holy day has become senseless

other notable church days about this

We will have st. Patrick's Day on the
18th of March. He was another good
man who came to Ireland during the
fifth century as Q missionary, and
converted the whole island to Chris
tian faith, and as the Irish believe,
exterminated all the snakes and ven.
emous insects and reptiles.
Next comes Palm Sunday, when the
priests bless thousands of palms and
give them to the people in commemo-
ration of what the converted Jews did
for the Savior when he entered into
Jerusalem. Then, there are the three
ember days, which come on the 22d.
Oath and 25th of this month. These
are to be observed with fasting and
prayer, because they represent the
opening of spring-the vernal equinox
-"when the winter is over and gone,
and the time for the singing of birds
has come, and the voice of the twittle
dove is heard in the land" The truth
is, the Roman Catholic church has
left but few days in the year that are
not set apart or dedicated to some
saint or service. They would have
canonized more saints and set apart
days for them, but the days gave ont,
and they had to stop.

GERMAN MERCHANT MARINE.

GERMAN MERCHANT MARINE.
Germany's merchant marine at pres
ent comprises 1886 sailing vessels and
LII steamers, the united capacity of
the fleet being l,555,S7l tons. Accord
ing to the latest statistics on the sub
ject, over two-thirds of the sailing
vessels are of iron or steel construc-
ton, and Germany has practically no
wooden steamers among its merchant.
men. The growth of its interests of the
latter kind may be appreciated from
the fact that in 1871 the German flag
flew over only 147 steamers, with a tom
mage of 1894 tons, whereas now the
steamships of the same nationality,
whose numbers have just been given,
represent a capacity of nearly 1000, 900
tons. 1t is pointed out that the rapid
growth of Germanys Importance in
this connection is largely due to two
companies, the North German Lloyd
and the Hamburg American steamship
companies. These organizations are
now the largest in the world.

German EmperOr's Sermon Puts a
Sailor To Sleep.

A good story about the kaiser comes
from Berlin. It is we'll known that
his majesty, during his annual trip on
board the Hohenzollern to the
Norwegian 6ords, is in the habit of
conducting divine service every Sun
day morning. He usually reads short
liturgy and follows the prayers with a
sermon, not of his own composition,
but from the collection of some we'll
known German divine. During his
recent trip the officers of the Hohen-
zollern noticed that a sailor, during
divine service. either overcome by the
heat or from some other cause, had
fallen fast asleep. Their consterna-
ton was great, and they were relieved
when the imperial sermon came to an
end and the sailor awakened with a
start.
After the service the captain called
the sailor before him, gave him a
sound rating, and sentenced him to two
days arrest. Now, it happens that on
Sunday afternoons on board the Ho-
henzollern it is' the ksiser's custom to
hear the captains report of the events
of the preceding week. If any sailor
shakes hands with him or SAYS q few
kindly words: if sailor has been pun
ished the kaiser hears the details The
captain reported the incident of the
sleeping sailor and the punishment in
ficted on him.
WAS he on the watch the night be-
fore?" asked the Kaiser.
HE was, your majesty.''
'Then let the poor devil off. Be-
sides, it wasn't much of sermon, any,
how. "-Christian Work.

GAMBLING is a consuming vice that
tends to destroy the foundations of the
community. In this city it does more
to ruin individual lives, break up
homes. and undermine the security of
mercantile concerns, than all the 9TH
er evils. 1t is more than q moral lapse.
It is q crime. 1t should be fought
against and suppressed just as murder,
highway robbery, and outrage are
fought against. The city and county

them all. In this city every induce
ment is held out to young men and

to work at all good part of the time.
Moreover, since they run upon moon
schedule, they are not supposed to
burn during more than one half the
hours of darkness. The streets
are dark most of the time.
The new concern will furnish 1000
candle power lamps, perfectly con-
trolled, at the same price or less. But
these lamps will burn all night and
every night. Twice the power, twice
the number of hours, hence one fourth
the cost to the city of the
present wretched service. The
prosecution of this enterprise to a
successful conclusion is one of the best
things Ell Paso has seen for many q
day. Not only will the improved and
cheapened service be definite gain to
every individual citizen of the city,
but the success o. the new plant and
its local character will be one of the
strongest arguments that could be
brought to bear to induce the invest
ment of outside capital in q modern
street railway system here. It is
great stride in advance. All honor to
the public spirited citizens who have
brought the project to q successful
issue. And may the SUCCESS of the new
be As permanent and secure IS
It promises.

WITH the letting of the contract for
the new electric plant the people of Ell
Paso are now given assurance that
within few months they will have the
advantages of one of the best electric
lighting systems in the country. The
history of this movement is a most in
seresting one. just about a year ago
she people came to the conclusion that
the existing electric lighting plant and
"street railway" had been quite out
grown and that an urgent necessity ex-
listed for establishing modern systems.
A mass meeting of citizens was called
and ait was clearly brought out that
the people were paying .exorbitant
prices for service decidedly
Inferior to that in other cities of the
southwest. and that there was no hope
of getting any satisfaction out of the
present company. A citizens commit
tee was formed, and franchise was ap-
piled for, to cover an electric street
railway and light and power plant.
The franchise was granted to the COM
mitteesi. by the city council in trust.
Efforts to place the double franchise
were unsuccessful but when the
franchtsefran out another was obtained
for light and power plant indepen-
com mittee fought one battle with the
city administration and won it. The
administration surreptitiously and |
with disgraceful haste closed a |
contract with the existing electric |

so overwhelming that the mayor and |
council were forced to rescind the con-
tract and leave the field open. The |
citizens committee then went quietly |
to work to organize new corporation

They have been so far successful that
they have let the contracts for the fifty
Thousand dollar plant and expect to

The new company has not been sup
ported as it should be by FL Psso's
business men. As ansinvestment it is
onably sure to pay from the be-
ginning. So far as service goes,
there can be no effective competition
by the old company If the latter does
not improve its service greatly. The
people haves' been paying s1.5O per
month for each incandescent light, and
these lights went out at midnight. The
new company will furnish all night
lights at 81 per month, or exactly one
third the present rate. The city has
been paying S12 per month each for
its fifty or more arc lights. The lights {
