New York, Nov. 6.-The course of the

FOURTH ANNUAL RALLY.

Sunday School Superintendent Meet
in Plymouth Church.
The New Haven Sunday School Su-
perintendents' union held it's fourth an
nual rally in Plymouth Congregational
church last evening. 1t opened at $3.50
when more than 200 of those in attend
ance sat down to supper, which was
served in the basement of the church
by the ladies of the Whatsoever circle
of the Kings Daughters. At supper
N. H. Hall acted as toastmaster, and
called upon a number of prominent
men for remarks. Among those who
answered with short witty speeches
were Rev. G. S. Eldridge, G. S. Dem
ing, H. F. Blogg, w. G. Lotze and
Prof.. Sanders.
At 1880 the conference opened with
devotional exercises. Fl. Fl. Taylor
presided. The event of the evening
was an address by Prof. Fl. M. Hamill,
field, secretary of the International
convention, who spoke on the subject

of stocks. The downward course pro-
ceeded to the extent of / to 2 points in
! number of the prominent industrials
and reached as much as point in a
number of railroads including examples
| from the grangers, southwesterns,
southerns, coalers and trunk lines.
Northwestern dropped at one time 1-2
In the leading industrials level of
prices was subsequently established
reaching generally a point above Sat
urday. The railroad group was not 80
resilient but its downward course of
the morning was very generally retrac-
ed and fractional net gains We're the
rule. In Southern Pacific the recent
large and organized buying was re-
sumed after the decline had reached
ga and it was advanced l SIS and clos
ed there. The speculation in leather
continued on an enormous scale, the
prices being lifted on running sales of
10000 shares at the opening from 3-S
below to 1-2 above Saturdays price.
Subsequently the loss of Saturday was
more than recovered and the price lift
ed to within a shade of forty-one.
There was heavy realizing in the stock
in the late dealings but it was firmly
supported at 40. The renewed support
by the speculative pool in leather had
no small influence in dissipating the
fears of a general break in prices. There
We're many soothing explanations offer

this explanation was somewhat dis
turbed by the rise in the call money
rate to 10 per cent, and the calling of

became general that Saturdays bank

in the morning were very generally COW

caused the desire for this appropriation,
although contrary to existing treaties.
THE desire and intention to trample
on our rights as an independent and
sovereign nation, Notwithstanding a SOL
emn convention existing between this
state and Great Britain have also been
more than once and are now again
shown by the present government by
giving expression in public documents
to an unfounded claim on paramountcy
over the whole of South Africa and
therefore also over this state.
For years past British troops in
great numbers have been placed on the
frontiers of our sister republics in order
to compel her by fear to accede to the
demands which would be pressed upon
her and in order to encourage reVolu-
tionary disturbances and the cunning
plans of those whose greed for gold IS
the cause of their sha meless undertake
ings.
These plans have now reached their
climax in the open violence to which
the present British government now re-
sorts. While we readily acknowledge
the honorable character of thousands OF
Englishmen who loath such deeds OF
robbery and wrong, we cannot but alb
hor the shameless breakings of treaties,
the figured pretexts for the transgres-
sion of law, the violation of interna-
tonal law and of conscience and of the
numerous right-rending deeds of the
British statesmen, who will now force
a war upon the South African republic.
On their heads be the guilt of blood and
may just Providence reward all as
they deserve.
"Burghers of the Orange Free State
rise as one man against the oppressor
and the violator of right. In the strife
to which we are now driven, have care
to commit no deed unworthy of a
Christian and of burgher Of Orange
Free State. Let us look forward with
confidence to a fortunate end of this
conflict, trusting to that higher power
without whose help human weapons are
of no avail May he bless our arms.
Under his banner we advance to bat
tie for liberty and for fatherland.

A SAGEBRUSH PRINCESS.

Renaissance of Sarah Winnemucca' 8
Style of Play by One Who Knew
Her
1.-The whole story Of our Nevada
princess" said the old Comstocker,
mingling the ingredients in their prop
err proportions, might not be seemly
to narrate. And anyway, I don't know
it all-only the sagebrueh end of it.;
what she did back East here was
known to us only through hearsay and
through the banknotes which the lady
brought back with her for the princi-
pal purpose of adding vivacity and
eastern capital to- the games with
which we INDUCED ourselves at Vir-
ginia City and Carson, to say nothing
of such trifing place as Reno and
Eiko. What | want to emphasize is
that we didn't have to wait for this
here annexation to equip US with kings
and queens In the American system
OF course, we've taken in lot OF
Liliuokalanis and KapoIanis and
Kaiulanis Nand such like. But long be-
fore that we had kings and queens;
and as for jacks and aces, there was
never a superiority, but if you were
careful in skinning over YOUR hanG
you'd find them often enough to mike
the game interesting.
"Out on the Lode we were proud of
the Princess Sarah Winnemucca She
was nothing but 1'iute, the same as
Soldier Pete, who was always loafng
outside OF the Laurel Palace, but she
caught right on to tht needs of our
commonwealth in a way that showed
she was pretty ncaf'v white. There
wasn't one of us along the Lode, from
the Tuscarora at one end to North
Belle Isle at the other who didn't have
something UP his sleeve waiting for
eastern capital to come along and de-
velop it, But the Princess Sarah used
to go back east and rustic up the cap
ital fit to beat the band
II remember once when she got back
from a trip east she vailed into Jim
Ornsdorffs back room as fine as
though she'd just come off Fifth ave-
nue., and / guess she had. She had
shoes that pinched her feet, and when !
it comes to feet you must remember |
that the Princess Sarah spent most of |
her time on the range. She had a [
parasol that would put the sun out. |
Her bonnet was corker. Her suit of |
clothes was all silk, but l won't at |
tempt to tell you what it looked like; |
there wasn't anything in the state of |
Nevada like it. When she came in / |
moved up so she could get a chair up !.

Much Ado About NothinQ.

William Waldorf Astor, a native mil
lionaire of New York, who has long
lived in London, and OWNS a newspaper
in that city, has become a n~aturalized
citizen of Great Britain. The New York
newspapers appear to be mad about it.
But they are foolish to take that view.
The taste Of a man may be questioned
who chooses to leave this country in or
der to reside elsewhere, as not a few
rich men do without giving up citizen
ship, but if Astor expects to spend the
rest of his life in the British capital
and engage in business there he ought
to assume the obligations Of citizenship
and put himself in line with the people
of that excellent country. Americans
are very quick to condemn British sub-
jects who come to this side to remain
and yet scorn to take allegiance to the
country of their new home, and who
thus avoid some of the responsibilities
and duties hat should be the part Of
residents of the country. Mr.. Aston is
only an average man, who inherited
wealth, and not SO brilliant thai his loss
will be felt, nor is his desire to ally him
self with another country Of sufficient
Importance to mortify the people of the
United States.

The New Mexico Democratic editors
there are not many of the old guard
left, God rest their souls-have nothing
upon which to arraign the territorial
administration, or a little part of it, so
smoothly and prosperously are things
moving along. And as abuse of salts
factory public officials would be disap-
proved by the people, political editors,
in a few cases, are laboring, with all the
eagerness of the village gossip who
seeks to set neighbors against one an
other for the love of strife, to foment
jealousy among prominent Republicans.
Sometimes the village mischief-maker
only succeeds in getting kicked by both
sides. The public in general cares moth
ing about such matters, and men who
are prominent enough to be political
factors are too sensible to pay attention
to gossip and suggestions coming from
political enemies.

Money in the Banks,

AS an evidence of the change that has
come to southeastern New Mexico in
the past year, the condition of the banks
in Chaves and Eddy counties may be
considered.
For several years after the failure of
the first bank in Carlsbad the town was
without such an institution. A few
months ago a bank with small capital
began business, and last week its pub
lished statement showed individual de-
posits of over $1O0,O 900 on hand. This
proves that the people Of that town and
county are prospecting.
Money became so abundant in the
Roswell country that wealthy cattle
men decided last month to establish a
national bank, and were about to do so
when an opportunity came to purchase
the majority of stock in the prosperous
old bank of Roswell, at a high figure,
and was seized. There is more money
in the hands of the people of those two
counties now. in proportion to popula-
ton, than yer before.

Doinq a National Duty.

"The United States" says Governor
Roosevelt in his latest speech, put its
pick into the rotten foundations of
Spanish government in both the East
and West Indies and tumbled the build
ing down, in as righteous a war as was
ever waged." 1t is now clearing away
the m~oss-covered ruins and building
anew. The people of the islands are re-
ceiving more kindness than they have
Yer known under Spanish rule, and are
not being robbed. 1t may be that they
do not appreciate now what is being
done for the island countries, but both
they and the United States will be the
better for the rebuilding that is going
on. Dyspeptic Americans who would
have the country mind it's own bust
ness" are not the sort Of people who
make their country and the world bet
ter. The United States has a duty to
perform as a neighbor, in the disordered
household of the sick nations, and will
do it well, regardless of trouble and ex-
penSe.

1t is a lucky thing for the Democrats
that the war came up, for now they can
kick about that in the absence of an OPP
portunity to claim that anything is
tariff system. They talk somewhat
about these latter subjects, but they
can scarcely convince themselves that
everything is not just as it should be,
Republicans will p%erchance get off
wrong on a Philippine policy, and there
fore should not be allowed to run the
risk of doing so as long as the Demo-
cratic party is here to try to keep the
government craft in safe waters.
