most delig htfully with musical
program. Mrs. Gillespie played a
Chopin "phantasy'' which completely
charmed her hearers. Mrs. Howe and
Mrs. Baker were also on the program.
These two singers are too well known
to require any special mention: their
voices are always sweet and charming.
Miss Myrtle Canady played several
violin solos-she is such q young
musician and plays so we'll that she
deserves special mention. AS one
number she played Schubert's sere-
made and played it most beautifully,
receiving much well deserved
applause. Mr.. Putnam during the
afternoon introduced to the ladies Mr..

CORNER STONE LAYING.
OF The New Congregational Church.

In the flood of 1897 the Mexican
Congregational church was totally des-
troyed, involving loss of about $500.
Since that time the congregation has
worshiped in various places, for the
last year being in room erected on
lower FL Paso ST. much after the style
of the Mexican jacales, with walls of
lath framework filed in with mud
mortar, and entirely too small for the
congregation, which has been CON
tinually growing in spite OF these diff
culties.
At last the needed money has been
secured generous grant having been
made by the Congregational church
building society and the rest secured,
first by most generous gifts from the
Mexicans themselves when we con-
slider the poverty of the members of
the church, and lately helped very
materially by contributions from many
friends to this work in Ell Paso, as
we'll as several from persons residing
The total cost of the building and
over $1,000, and they will
be dedicated, probably in April,
entirely free from debt, so that what
ever further gifts may be received will
help in providing q much needed or
gan, and pulpit and other furniture.
The ceremony of the laying of the
corner stone, which is of beautiful
polished granite, furnished by the
students of the Training school, took
place to day at eleven o'clock.
The building is situated on Kansas
ST., between Fourth and Fifth, just
south of the Douglass school.

STANDARD OIL AGAIN.
The pinchlng Process Still Pro-
CeedS.

The pinching process OF the Stand
ard Oil company is continually being
brought to the notice of the press. A
story from Las Cruces is sample of
how they grind the public down. W..
B. Murphy, merchant there, was not
handling coal oil.as THEW holesale price
was % cents and the retail price only
Is cents per gallon. He thought the
margin was entirely too small but
learning that his neiRhbOrs received a
rebate of Sc per gallon be made in
quiry and was informed that he could
secure the same privilege. He notified
the agent that on the first of the year
he would commence handling the oil,
but when the time came around he was
told that the management had changed
their mind and could not grant him
the rebate. Mr.. Murphy had in the
meantime signed q petition to- have
the coal oil law of New Mexico repeal
ed and as the agent gave him no rea-
son for the change of base he conclud-
ed that his act of signing the petition
was responsible for their action.

men looked up by officer Franco and
the charge placed against them was

to be men who need close watching.
When arrested theaman giving his
name as Andrew 81. Collins had tie
pin in his possession which was valued
at about 80 and il wsssstolen from q
the individual who lost the pin said !;
"Wednesday night about IL O'Clock 1
Was approached by this man who call 8
himself Collins. He told me that he
had been thrown out of q
saloon and to illustrate the manner in
which he was elected, he took hold of
my coat collar with both of his hands.
It was then that he took the pin from
my necktie. He was q perfect stranger
to me and 1 was suspicious of him. 1
went to the place where he claimed he
he told me falsehoOd. I believe he
is q smooth thief and 1 will aid the

There are nine hoboes at the police
station today and the police believe
they have very dangerous crowd in
charge. In the pocket of one of them
was found a tool made out of an ordin-
airy button hook which is used for
opening the lock on q door when the
key has been left in it. Heretofore, q
door locked and the key left in it has
been considered the best proof against
burglars entering but with the assist
ance of the article found on the hobo
q door secured in this manner can be
easily opened. To prove this the jail
er went to residence close to the Jail
and after the residence was thought to
be securely locked, he inserted the
instrument into the keyhole and turn
ed the lock and key and the door came
but capable of doing no end of dirty
work. The police are Investigating
his case.
