The NEW
CITY HALL
A Noble And Imposing Mon
ument To the City
A FULL DESCRIPTION
Of the Building, Together With the
Names OF the Architects, Con-
tractors And Others Engaged In
ERECTING 1t.

In his address before the city coun-
Gil last Saturday Albert E. Hyde, the
sanitary expert of New York said:
''This building 1.-THE city halD is the
noblest monument to your city that
you have"
Mr.. Hyde's sentiment is echoed by
every visitor to El Psso, and probably
by every citizen. 1t is a building of
which any city might be proud.
Though not large it is ample for the
purpose and Will be for many years to
come. Its architecture is probably
uuexc alled by that Of any similar build
ing In the United States and it's
architects merit the very highest
praise. Its influence, introducing the
classical and beautiful into our city.
will be felt in the architecture of all
future building here.
Many people have expressed q desire
to have full description of the build
ing to send away to their friends and
To keep themselves, and the HERALD
herewith presents such description.
The style of the building is classical,
with but slight variation, which was in
places necessary to conform TO the m l.
terials used. 1t is built on the cross
plf:-. ry5i e:ug on each side of the
main, with q rotunda and dome in the
center. 1t is two stories high, with
basement and attic.
The building has two imposing en-
frances, one 90 San Antonio street and
one on Myrtle avenue. These are two
stories high, having eabled roofs. with
richly ornamerted cornices overhsne-
ing classical columns. The columns
form balconies supported by stone pill

ANGRY IN TWO LANGUAGES.

Some time ago The Herald received
a communication from prominent citi-
zens of German extraction, protesting
against the repeated sneers and slurs
of a contemporary. AS the letter was
quite personal and somewhat severe in
its resentment Of insult and misrepre-
sentation, it was refused space, but
attention was called TO the substance
OF il. in the vain hope that some salts
factory explanation might be made or
apology offered. Neither was forth
coming. Instead there was a mean in
situation that no such letter had been
received; with the alternative that the
writer of it was an ignorant, unnatur-
allied alien.
Then the bakers and. confectioners of
German descent held a meeting. in the
course of which a resolution was unan-
imously adopted in denunciation of the
Tribune's unfairness and dishonesty.
Ii retaliated by calling the author of
the resolution a loafer. an ignoramus
and BLACKBOARD, leaving the members
who endorsed the resolution to infer
that they were in the same boat.
Now the Sons of Hermann" have
taken the matter up. In a recent meet
ing of the Schiller lodge resolutions
were adopted denouncing in no uncer-
tain language the libels of the con-
temporary in question, not only on the
German born citizens of this country,
but on everyone with whom it dis
agrees on any question. 1T is an an

advantageous circumstances, I found
that the parents brought twenty seven
earthworms in an. hour, dividing them
among three young birds. The young
were fed, l think, alternately, and no
one got more than its share The worms
averaged four inches in length so that
here we have los inches of animal food,
which, equally divided, made a yard of
worm for each bird per hour. This was
kept up pretty much all day. The rob-
ms ran about the grass plot and garden
and seemed to find the worms without
delay or difficulty. If l needed single
worm for fishing it was necessary to
use a spade and overtuln a sod, some
times several Of them, before I could
get one. The same is true of smaller
birds, that feed exclusively on insects

HEARD ABOUT 1T.

Speaking of Roosevelt rushing to
Hanna's rescue in Ohio, the local gold
bug organ says: Evidently this is
the first time the writer's on our morn
ing contemporary ever heard of any
prominent man of one state going into
another state to make a political
speech
No, it is not. When the goldbug
party was trying to beat the combined
forces of silver in Nevada a few years
ago, a professed silverite went from
Utah and stumped the state of Nevada
for the goldites.
He was prominent. He crossed the
line to make political speech. We
heard of that.

SILVER AND GOLD IN OHIO.

Republicans are trying hard to find
some crevasse, however slight, in the
Democratic organization of Ohio. on
which to build story of fractional
differences and hopes of McLean's de-
feat. Unless there is a split, CONNER
cial Advertiser correspondent frankly
admits. the outlook is favorable to
the success of the free silver party in
the Buckeye state
When John W. Bookwalter, the emil
nent Ohio statesman, author and ora
tor, was in New York the other day,
the Tribune sent a reporter to inter
view him. He had been mentioned as
the leader of the dissatisfied Democracy
of the state, and, while the Tribune
printed his statements. they were evil
IDENTIFY far from satisfactory. ''Mr.
Bookwalter is firmly of the opinion
that John r. Mclean will be elected
governor of Ohio it stated regretfully,
and then it quoted the gentlemans own
words:
1.-THE Republicans of the state he
explained, land not the Democrats, are
litical troubles, there are certain strong
elements that will repudiate Hanna
and Mckinley. while the Irish and Ger
mans are strongly opposed to the i'm
perialistic policy of the Republican adj
ministration, and will make that OPP
position manifest. 1 am satisfied that
John r. Mclean stands an excellent
chance of being elected. 1 am greatly
pleased with the platform of the Ohio
Democrats, especially the plank re-
garding silver. They are as devoted as
ever to the silver proposals. Bimetal-
lism must come to the front. There
can be bat one result if existing condi-
tions are maintained. There must be
a check upon trade and a decline in the
value and volume of trade throughout
the world. The want of currency and
the scramble for gold are apparent
everywhere. Therefore, I am delighted
with the reaffirmation by the Ohio
Democrats of the principles of the Chi
cago platform. 1t is impossible for one
metal to supply our wants. and, in
deed, it is question if even both met
ais can"
1t will not be surprising if free sill
yer carries the presidents home state,
this fall, although Hanna's crowd of
trusts, brokers, contractors and i'm
perialists viii scatter gold with lavish
hands to prevent it.

SOMEHOW OR OTHER.


Where does Arthur Pratt come in? ?"
breathlessly inquiries a near contem-
porary.
SO it is getting anxious about Arthur
is it? He failed to get a commission
when the war broke out. He hasn't
quite landed Web Greenes position, al
though his organ says he is sure of it.
But he will come in somewhere and put
both hands into the public crib, rest
assured. No one can tell exactly where
he will come in, whether through a city
office, a county Office state Office, a
federal office or a foreign office. Yet
we all know that when he does come it
will be through the door of some public
Office or other, mounted, as usual, upon
the back of a hard-ridden public.
The Tribune wants to know why Ar
thur hasn't been made an International
issue. If there is a consulate, a commits
sionership, vacancy on any diplomatic
corps in the pay of this government
that he has ghost of a chance TO get
and hasn't applied for, we will concede
that he has kept himself from being
an international issue. If there is a
party or a faction that he can use to
further his ambitions, he makes himself
the issue of that party or faction If
existing organizations are shy of his
maneuvres he can always rely on
little band of cronies to organize new
party for his especial benefit. He isn't
a great issue, because he keeps busy
being so many different kinds of small
ones.
Don't worry about Arthur. If there's
an office of any old kind whose door
won't lock he'll come in. It's habit
he has.

smells the approaching foe, but it sees
and hears what our own eyes and ears
would never detect. Often have seen
a bird suddenly stop, crouch down or
creep beneath broad leaf and remain
motionless. Directly after the shadow
of a hawk passed over. or the bird itself
swooped by, striking where it thought
its prey might be, and then circle out
ward into the open air with a shrill
note of chagrin. No wonder the little
warbler or wren was so eager to hide,
for a bird-hunting hawk is the very
acme of ferocity; far more so, so far as
little birds are concerned, than are
man-eating tigers to ourselves. The
peaceful woods, as we call them. are
overfull of tragedy. but happily we are

required to nourish from three to five

patiently watching the constant going
