BALL ROOM COSTUMES.
A False impression Corrected. The Terrible
 Turk.

 False impression Corrected. The Terrible
 Turk.
 One of the many charming women of Douglas City, while speaking of balls and ball room costumes, recently told the writer that she guessed she would not wear any of her ball dresses ln Douglas City. She did not say that she had been reading the News for some time past. but we are safe in say ing that she lad. There seems to be a general impression abroad that the editor of the News is predjudiced against the decollete dress, which cer- tainly is mistaken idea. Our ObJec- tion is to seeing them in public places. This reminds us of little incident that occurred in Washington City not long ago. The Turkish minister at tended an official gathering and became acquainted with lady that wore dress with a very low cut bodice. He gazed at the woman's costume and she became so emb rtassed that she raised her fan in front of her. After a few moments the Terrible Turk pointed at the low cut bodice end said:
 Madame, does your husband permit this without protest?"
 It will not be long until the decollete dress must go. Tie evolution has been slow, but it will come. There is vast improvement between the present and when Queen Vashti was commanded by Ahasuerus, the ruler Cf Persia, to appear before him and his invited guests in a nude state. Her refusal cost her dearly-she was dethroned and Esther, the beautiful, became queen, but the custom of the queen appearing before the king and his drunken friends in nude state was set aside forever.

SOLDIER BOYS
Committee Of TennesSeeans
Goes West to Meet Them
BAND AT THE STATION
Tennessee Volunteers Will Be Ac-
corded a Rouslng Reception In
FL paSO Tonight.

Although the First Tennessee regi-
| ment of volunteer infantry returning
from the Philippines cannot stop over
in Ell Paso because of the necessity of
reaching Nashville by Tuesday, they
will still be accorded royal reception
by the citizens here.
Through the courtesy of CONNER
ciai Agent Hunt of the S. P. a commit
tee of nine Tennesseeans were fur
nished transportation on the west
bound Southern Pacific passenger
which left here at 2:45 o'clock. This
committee included A. P. Coles and

W. H. Webb, r. M. Patterson, Prof.
Geo. Roach, Nancy Turner, Chss.
Grosvenor.
This committee will continue on the
west bound passenger until they meet
the first section of the soldier train,
probably at Deming or Lordsburg.
They will then board this section
which carries the original committee
sent from Tennessee to receive the
com pany them back to Ell Paso.
The first section of cars is expected
to reach here between and 10 o. clock,
most probably at $50, and will be met
at the station by q band which will
play attractive music during the stay
of the section here. While the train
remains the fire bells of the city a-e to
be rung, and there will undoubtedly
be An immense crowd of Ell Pasoans to

of 80 minutes. The second section con

EEEDING.IN TRANSIT.
LOcal.Shippers Want the Railroads
To Restore the Privilege.

There is considerable discussion
among local shippers about the revival
of the privilege of feeding in transit.
StOckmen all over the country are
making q fight to have the feed-in-
transit permit restored.
The resembling of the privilege was a
great blow to the cattle feeding in
dustry and the owners claim that the
roads acted very unfairly. The mill
ing-in-transit privilege is given to
millers, and stockmen say that the
same opportunity should not be with
held from them.
The excuse offered by the railroad
officials for their action is that the
biIls of leding fall into the hands of
scalpers in Kansas City and Omaha,
but the stockmen have offered to over
come this difficulty by drafting bill
of lading that cannot be scalped and
by working in conjunction with the
roads to squelch the scalpers.
At presen. all cattle through Ell
Paso are fed, watered. aud rested here
because in the case of shipments to
Kansas City, this city is not within the
24-hour feed limit.

s. D. SAFETY PAPER TICKETS.
Local Office Now Uses the New
Kind Almost ExCIusively-Ad-
vantages Shown BY Travelling
AGENT.

Nearly all tickets in the local 8. p
Office are of the safety paper kind
AS ench kind gives out a new supply
printed on safety paper is received,
and within a short while all local
tickets will be on that paper only.
''This is an excellect scheme" SAID
q travelling passenger agent today,
land its efficiency is shown by the
recent successful attempt to counter
felt tickets of the Colorado Midland
road, because 1t did not use the kind OF
safety paper which the associa ton
recommended some years ago, and
which has been adopted by two-thirds
Of the railroads"
ssThe manufacturer of that paper has
q monopoly, it is true, but he is under
big bonds to sell 1t only to certain
printers, who have secured license
from the association. Not over 20
printing firms in the country have
such license.
cit fs claimed that every sheet OF
the safety paper is handled aud guard
ed as carefully as the paper MADE for
treasury or bank notes, and that 1t Is
practically impossible for persons not
entitled to it to get it or successfully
initiate it,

At last rats and mice have an Ameri
can market value. A man in New Jer-
sey Is prepared to pay five cents for
every healthy rat delivered, and he
quotes mice at three cents each Je-
rome Sheppard, an old sea captain, is
bulling the rat and mouse market, and
is anxious to buy 5000 rodents. Cap
tain Sheppard already has supply OF
rats and mice, but owing to the att-
tude assumed by the New Jersey So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals he has been forced to adver-
tise for rats and mice SO that his stock
may not become depleted. 1t SO hap
pens that Captain Sheppard is the pro-
pr1etor of a cat farm near Caldwell.
N. j., and rats and mice are necessary
to his business. -Four years ago the
captain, who looks every inch the
typical 'seadog," gave up the sea and
determined to devote the rest of his
life to raising cats. While on his
cruises Captain Sheppard secured a
valuable collection of high bred cats.
For four years he has been raising
cats, and is said to have made small
fortune from his farm. Angoras, NAL
tese, Siamese, Indian, Russian, Japan
csc and, in fact, every breed of cats
known to the fancier can be found on
the Sheppard farm. Each breed is
kept in a separate corral, and pedigrees
are preserved carefully of each new
arrival. The cats are first domesti-
Gated and made familiar with people.
especially children, by constant pet
ting, and are next trained as ratters
ic TO r..
ter fact, and to Capt Shephard's
original methods of tr: hing his cats
that the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals has threatened his.
industry with extinction. Captain
Sheppard has probably 200 cats always
on the farm, and it required a good
many rats to go round. In order that
one rat might serve to train several
cats, the plan was adopted of placing
rat in glass box or a wire cage set
in the corral. Naturally the unfor-
tunate rat created a great deal of ex-
element in the corral, and when it be-
came exhausted from fright the rat
was taken to cage to recover. Sooner
or later the rat was turned loose
among the cats, that they might taste
his blood. Sometimes rats were tied
with string and hung just beyond the
reach of the CATS The society Sc.
rlously considered Captain Shephard's
case at several of it's meetings, and
finally, few days ago, notified him
that he must cease torturing rats, but
consented to permit him to give the
rodents outright to the is. As a re-
suit Captain Sheppard is at his wits
end to keep up his supply Of rats, as
he uses about 100 each week Conse-
quently he has been compelled to enter
the rat market and pay SIS a hundred
for rats and SO a hundred for mice.
The stable boys in the vicinity of Cald-
well are investing in rat traps and ex-
pect to reap a harvest as a result OF
Captain Shephard's offer. Some idea
may be gained of the prof1tableness of
cat farming from the fact that over
1000 kittens yeor are raised and sold
from the Sheppard farm. These, all
well bred and thoroughly trained,
bring from 81 to SIS each In many in
stances especially we'll bred cats, with
ped1grees deliberately inscribed on
parchment, bring 500.

THE LIGHTS Went OUT.
A Break At the Power House Kills
Down Town IncandesCent And
Arc IiohtS

Owing to a break down in the
machinery at the power house at $50
last night, the electric lights about
town suddenly went out. After twenty
minutes they again were alight and
again went out. This occurred three
times, and finally the all night circuit
was cut off, while the II O'Clock cir
cult lights continued to burn. The
arc street lamps remained dark.
Iuquiring at the gas office developed
the fact that the break in the machinery
was not serious, and repair work was
done on it all night and today. No
new machinery will be required, and
the break will be fully repaired by to-
night. The Inconvenience to business
men aud pedestrians was great, and in
the opera house the first failure of the
lights occasioned great excitement and
some alarm.

A-6OOD IDEA.
Mrs. Aguinaldo Uses Barrel For
Her Clothes Instead OF Trunk.

1t seems from discoveries made by
our troops at San Nicolas, in the island
OF Luzon, that the wife of the insurgent
chieftsin uses barrels instead of trunks
for packing her wardrobe. Twelve
barrels full of the lady's clothes were
captured, and our gallant officers will
no doubt return them to her at the
first opportunity, for we do not war on
women, and especially would we not
try 60 iujure womau's feelings upon so
sensitive subject as her wearing ap-
psrel.
A good many people will be curious
to know why woman needs so many
clothes in such climate IS the Philip
pines. Twelve barrels full, If the bar
rels are of ordinary size, are a good
many, and indicate that the Filipino
ladies are not Indifferent in the matter
of dress. If Carlisle's abstruse theo-
ries of the elevatiug influence of
clothes, as developed in "Sartor Re-
sartus," are correct, the fondness Of
Madame Aguinaldo for apparel may be
accepted as evidence that the Filipi-
nos are capable of taking on consider
able polish, and will become credit
able Am erican citizens under proper
influence.
Having the clothes, we must COM
mend Madame Aguinaldo for an ingen-
1Ou5 idea In packing Gnem In barrels
instead of trunks. In that climate,
with rain falling almost constantly for
six months in the year, it Is dou btful
if any trunk could retain its contents
free from damp and mildew; but q
tightly-headed barrel would appear to
be just the thing to keep out the wet.
Even in our ow climate the idea of
the barrel In place of the trunk for
packing wearing apparel might be
useful in many ways. A stout barrel
would defeat the efforts of the baggage
smashers effectually, and such pack
ages could be rolled around and
handled with greater ease aud con-
venience than the huge rectangular
boxes that are now com monty used by
travellers. Let the barrel, or perhaps
a cylindrical trunk made LAS strong and
i'm pervious to moisture as q barrel, aud
duly fitted with inside compartments,
be substituted for the trunks aud pack
ing boxes, aud it might result 10 q
great advantage both to the travellers
and the transportation companies.
Mrs. Aguinaldo has taken out no
patent on her ides-in fact, she
couldn't very well, as things are now.
and the ladies of the United States and
other countries are free to adopt it. A
good thing shouldn't be rejected be-
cause it comes from an outlaudish
source. Tribune.
