LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP.
SILVER CITY NORMAL SCHOOL
RIII.

BILL.
When the Silver City Normal School
bill came up before the council yester-
day there was considerable of a furore
created by the intelligence that d former
treasurer of the board of regents had
defaulted and turned over two . cent
postage stamps instead of a statement
OF the ~ 1000 intrusted. Hon. II. B.
Catron opposed the bill stating that the
Institution had already received 1896, 900,
one-half of which should have been
sufficient for the work of constructing
the building. He thought that it was a
simple raid on the treasury of the terri
tory and the fOrerunner of more raids
from other hungry affairs of a similar
nature. He asked that the bill be re-
committed and that the committee bein-
structed to secure Il report of the pre-
vious expenditures of the concern. This
was denied and IN the passage of the
measure Mr.. Catron delved into some of
inside facts and past history of the
school. He recalled the time when citi-
zens from Las Vegas and Silver City
asked for the privilege of establishing
schools and requested an %appropria-
tlon sul1clent for the work. AS chair
man of the committee which heard the
delegations, he vas assured that no
further appropriations would be asked
for. However, they had come before
every legislature asking for a%ppropria-
tions, and would be here again at the
next session for another one. He
thought that the first appropriation
was merely a nest egg from which they
could make b%i-annual raids on the treas
ury. According to the report of the
school, Mr.. Catron stated, that the
number of students only amounted to
~ and that the amount had been
swelled to 1o5 by taking in children
from the common schools. There are
too many educational institutions in the
territory now and the legislature has
already appropriated over $500, 900 for
them. Had the money been spent on
public schools a good system would have
resulted. Despite Mr.. Catron's fight
against the measure, it passed.

epAN OF LIFE LHNorHENINo

DR.. w. A. Hollis has backed up with
some strong facts his statement that
not only ought man to live to be 100
years old, but the average span OF
Me is distinctly widening. During
the past half-century the middle arch
Of life" has advanced in age from
about 40 years to nearly so. In other
words, people were formerly as old
at 40 as far as regards appearance and
feslings-as they are now at so. There
is NO doubt that the race is learning
some thing of the rules of health
which were in the olden times SO
hagrantly violated. This gradual ed
ucation of the people in the science
Of living, coupled witb the improved
sanitary conditions Of modern times.
would seem to be leading to the post
ponement of those tokens of age
which are commonly attributed to
ssnility, but are really the outcome
Of disease. Early maturity means a
quick old age, and any nation which
"forces" its young men and maidens,
instead of giving them plenty OF time
to mature. must expect to have an
early crop Of old men and women. AS
with a better understanding of hy-
xienic laws, and sounder conception
of social conditions, this adolescence

is given to young people to prepare for
the battle of life, the period Of old age
1s being set back. AS Dr. Hollis shows.
the rate at which we grow old varies
to some extent with the Individual.
Tho progressive structural defects
which eventually constitute the de-
crepitude of old age are for the most
part the results Of casual or prevent
able incidents during mans previous
life. Nearly every man, at some period
OF his early or middle life, throws
away his chances OF living to be very
old by reckless handling OF himself.
Out of every 10 people who particular
ly wanted to reach the age of 100 years,
and would go the right way about 1t

Of the things which more than others

old. Owing to their anatomical and

specially liable to injury from blows

There are ways of postponing this

Miss Underwo drew back q step:
the light faded from her eyes. She
shot a searching look upon Bayse. He
WINGED under the cool, calm face. She
turned to the doctor ana met his eyes
as If asking q question, seeming to d.
vine reason for the situation,
Here came her long looked for op-
portunity. Patiently disengaging the
knot on her bosom, she advanced to a
small table, laid both flowers side by

not disturb them; the inanimate wood
has no heart, it can feel no pain. Let
them be as they are; they will serve as
souvenirs of this day." Turning her
full look upon the gentlemen she calm
ly said: "Will you two honor me by
remaining under this roof when my
company shall have departed?"
Instantly recovering herself, she
broke forth into q merry laugh. 1t was
catching, and though throughout the
evening there were mods and winks,
nothing further took place to shadow
the day. The company melted away.
The interview was short With q
slight wave of her hand Miss Under

men. am going to say something to

brace of pistols ne had one of finer

propriately.
Bayse had, as was the custom in
those stirring times, previous to leav-
iFg Columbia made arrangements with
responsible merchant, should mis-
fortune befall him in his venture, to
discharge his obligations. He had
carefully written document and safe
ly secured the same about the person
OF his boy Ben, merely telling him in
case 1t came to the worst he was to
make his way back to Columbia and
present this, his permit to return
home.
One bright morning in early May
found Bayse and the negro heading
for the highway which was to follow
the setting sun. They plodded along
at easy gait. The second day their by
path carried them into the famous
trail.
About midday two horsemen were

plantations worked with slave labor.
1t was to this point that most settlers
in the coast region came before going
east, west or north N quest of a
home in Texas. While the western
frontier was being watched in expec-
fancy of Mexican raids, there was
gathered a band Of adventurous young
spirits, generally men of education and
fortune, who had come to the country,
some with one purpose, some with 9th
er designs in view, all however, read y
to offer their services to Texas, and
wishing the opportunity would hasten
gay, light-hearted and ready for frol-
ic, no ties to bind them and enjoying
the free, adventurous life before them.
THE TWO MEET AGAIN.
None among them was more free of
care, gayer and ligbt-hearted than Jim
Bayse from Green county, Alabama.
Bayse had been some months living
alternately In Brazoria and Colum bia
when DR.. Whitaker appeared upon
the scene. They had not met in per-
sonal interview since that regretful
evening in Miss UNDERWORLD home.
They had fingered in Greensboro but
a short time, each seeking separately
an interview with the LADY in question.
A few short, cold words gave them to
understand that her decision was ire
versibIe, that she deemed it her duty
to throw an impossible gulf between
their lives. DR.. Whitaker disappear
ed, whittier he went no one knew or d.

his liberal nature triumphed. Yet the
shock had sobered both men and writ
its change upon both heart and face.
Bayse early had desire to go to
Texas, probably would have given his
services along with the young Alabam-
ians who came two years previously,
but for the tie which bound him to his
native Greensboro. The link was sew

room in a food of tears.
THE SCENE CHANGES
Texas, 1888. San Jacinto has been
fought. A new nation was born. A
new star was burning brightly upon
the horizon, asking a welcome to the
galaxy in the neighboring system,
cleaning midst the rays in loveliness
while near kindred so brilliant and
blest.

he was sent to Mexico. England,
France and the United States acknow-
lodged the sovereignty of the new re-

Texas was free, but freedom had
been dearly bought, and the burdens
OF the new government were heavy.
The people of Texas were now adjust
ing themselves to new conditions. Co.
lonists were taking fresh start.
Their greater hope rested in entering
the American union. Torn with intern
al struggles, the frontier menaced by
the cruel bloodthirsty Comanche, the
young government was wrestling with
the fate of an infant republic. And
now was showered upon the land, from
every state in the union, men of every
grade and calling.
Every profession sent representa-
tive. Men high in station in civil and
military life, aud often of great wealth,
swelled the tide; men at war with So
ciety and laws of different common,
wesiths. Many came: many returned.
Some threw in their lives and fortunes
the advantage of wisdom and men
learned in statecraft above many new
ly settled countries. There was
another class of citizens, distinct unto
themselves, who came to build their
fortunes anew in Texas. What had
been their misfortunes incident to
their lives in the states made no differ
ence. Texas received them, gave
them welcome, reformed and regene-
rated them.
All the good. bad and odd lots swell

was blessed in this particular. The
greater number of the arrivals were
from the best families of Georgia,
Mississippi and Alabama. Their des-

sentative classes that make up the pop
ulstion of what in late years is 1esig-
mated the ''coast section" In 1898

The meeting of the two men was to 8

thought he discerned in the other, IN
der thin veneer, traces of resentment.
Jim viewed the question smore oper

did they seek each others company

any. was completely kept from view.
The doctor avoided company and
gatherings. Jim sought such places
because 1t was his nature-his peculiar
bent. Whitaker, while not positively
morose, gave those few who invited
terms of intimacy such cold, formal
greeting that he was generally accord

leaked out in scraps and fragments.
Very few dared joke or jest with Whit
taker. With Bayse it was different:
he was more approachable. and though
he said but little on the subject save
in Jest he showed no sign of irrita-
ton.
It was favorite question in those
days during the raw youth of the coun-
try for the yoemanry of the land to
greet newcomers with this query:
"What are your titles, Mr.? Are you
DR.. or Esq, or Prof. Perhaps, you've
got G. T. T. tied on to your name?" G.

preston used in some of the older
states upon returning a warrant by an
officer to indicate the fact that the in
dividual in question had found Texas

AS to Whitaker and Bayse, what

word escaped their lips unbecoming
the manner and tone Of the highbred
gentlemen they appeared to be, among
the people who knew them during their
sojourn in the settlement named. Whit
taker disappeared in the early part of
the year suddenly and silently as he
came.
SEEKING ADVENTURE.
Young Bayse began to tire of the dull
Of the life on the lower Bra
EOS. The stirring times would not
come to him. His mind was made up,
he would go in quest OF an adventure.
In those days even after the defeat at
San Jacinto, but few in Texas believed
that Mexico, with her resources at
hand. would give up the struggle to
regain Texas. OF the hundreds of
young men, the flower of southern
chivalry, who came during the two
years. succeeding the overthrow of
Santa Anna, all or nearly all came
booted and spurred, armed for the fray
which they conceived was but the
question of few weeks. Mexico, just
then engaged with the mimic war with
the marines of the French feet off
Vera Cruz, with an army equipped in
the field, was watched with eager
dread.
All eyes were turned on San Anto-
MO. The great highway, 1.-THE old San
Antonio road was brsten free of
grass by travellers from the lower Bra
EOS seeking the FL Dorado, some in
squads, others in pairs and occasional
