THE PEAR IN NEW MEXICO.
This Fruit As Safe As the Apple.

From what I have seen in various
parts of the territory, as well rs from
the experiments conducted at the
Agricultural College, l am convinced
that this territory is peculiarly adapt
ed to the culture of the pear. Very
many fruit regions can produce apples,
but comparatively few are suited
to pears, and this fact, coupled with
a steady demand for this
luscious fruit, will also insure better
prices for pears than apples; hence it
would be we'll for intending planters
to study the pear carefully. In
the college orchard there are over fifty
varieties of pears, nearly all of which
set good crops of fruit this year, and
we have had ripe pears almost continu-
ously from June q. The Bartlett.
which is the leading market sort in
America, is heavily laden, BIS is also
Keiffer and LIE Conte..
Reports from the San Juan county,
Santa Fe and other parts of the terri
tory show that as a general thing the
ear is as safe as the apple. The dry
atmosphere of this territory seems un-
favorable to fire blight. the great de-
stroyer of pear trees in the east. Cod
ding mothais quite as destructive to:the
pear as to the apple, and vigorous
must be taken to keep this
pest in the check.
The following varieties OF pears have
succeeded best in the college orchard,
each name being followed by the date
of ripening: LAYTON. July 3rd, o.
bonds Summer, July 18th, Petit Mar
gerite. Aug. 18th, Bartlett, Aug. oath,

Fifteen cars of mules destined for
Otis army in the Philippines, passed
through the city last night over the
Southern Pacific, on their way to San
Francisco.
The problem of transportation in the
Philippines has been under considera-
ton by the war department for some
time. 1t is expected hat at the
end of the rainy season
it will be necessary to move the troops
some distance from the railroad and
at the present time the means of
transportation are not sufficient for q
large army and extensive operations.
The difficulty has been met by send
ing mules to Manila in large numbers.
The quarter-master's department has
already shipped about six
hundred of these animals,
and about six hundred more
went through last night. There are
nearly two thousands more owned By
the department which will be sent if
needed.
These animals will not only be used
for transporting supplies in wagons,
but it is intended to organize a pack
train for carrying guns and equipments
where teams cannot be. utilized.
By the time the mules reach their
destination they will have cost the
about four hundred dollars

with "A liberal translation. The king

MONARCH IN CAPTIVITY
How Samory the Dethroned African
King IL Existing.

ming ~ NNlStiHks
Some interesting details In regard to
the present condition OF Samory, the
dethroned African monarch, have Just
been received by the French Minister
of the Colonies. Samory is now at
Hayes, where he occupies a camp,
which is guarded by company OF SOL
diers. He has fifteen wives with him,
and sixteen OF his children and several
servants. He spends his time In read
Ing the Koran and smoking cigarettes.
To outward seeming Samory Is calm
and contented, but at heart he is quite
the reverse He cannot rid himself
or the idea that he will be murdered
some day and whenever one OF his
guards happens to fire a shot he is con-
ndent that his last hour has come. He
brooded so much over his coming doom
that he quite lost his senses recently.
and made determined but futile effort
to commit suicide.
Samory still retains with him few
pieces OF his barbarc furniture, but all
his gold and silver treasure, which
mainly consists of gold rings and silver
plates, has been conflscated by the
French government and is to be sold
His silver cuirass, however, a massive
and unique work OF art, will be placed
In the War Museum at Paris. Sam
ory, II Is said, has grieved much over
the loss OF these treasures, and 1t Is
considered doubtful whether his cap
tors, no matter how kindly they may
treat him. will ever be able to reconcile
him to his lot
