AN ~UNPROFlTABLE SALE.
whereby an Instructive Lesson II
Conveyed to FlOOrwalkers.

Whereby an Lesson II
Conveyed to FlOorwalkers.
The bazaar window was filled with
great lamps, plaster busts, silver and
china ware and perishable, OF, rather,
breakable, articles of all sorts and
shapes.
On a glass standard right in the mid
die of the display and tight set against
the window stood, or sat, five or six odd
shaped little ink wells. They represent
ed miniature devils, squattant, their
legs wrapped around the we'll proper,
their wings spreading and their hands
clutching little china pens. The devils
were a brilliant red. Altogether the
bits of usefulness were very attractive
to any one possessing an eye for the odd.
The slim young man in the brown
suit and white SLOUGH hat and flowing
neckscarf evidently possessed just that
kind Of an eye. He had nearly passed
the window when he happened to catch
a glimpse of the little devils. He stood
before them and gazed, his face all
smiling with delight.
He reached down in his trousers pock-
ct, the right one, and drew out three or
four coins. He counted the amount they
made and turning Oh his heel entered
the bazaar.
He accosted the girl at the stationery
counter. .
81 should like Il of those little red
devil ink wells" he said.
Il don't believe we have any more,
but we expect a new lot next week, in
all sizes.
"But there are some in the window"
said the young man. II just saw them;
that's why | came ill.,"
"Oh, are there:' smiled the gi1l,
well, you'll find them down stairs il
the c1ockery department"
The young man went down stairs.
He asked tho girl at the lamp counter
for one of the ink wells,
She yelled something across the room
to another girl, and then said, "We
haven't any more.
The young man then told her of those
he had seen in the window.
"Oh," said the girl, and she went
back up stairs with him.
The foorwalkez said they intended
to change the window the next day and
that the young man could come in in
the morning.
That wouldn't do, he said. He must
have one then and there.
The f1oorwalker, with a mutter under
his breath, opened the back door Of the
window. He would have to crawl under
and between lamps and crocke,y to get
st the devils.
He started. Crash! He did not re-.
turn. Crash! Another floorwalker and
three shopgirls ran to the front of the
store. Crash! Crash! Crash And the
young mans heels backed out, his body
and head following. In his hand he
grasped a red devil ink we'll that sells
for 20 cents. In the window lay 500
worth of broken lamps and china.
The young man handed over a quar-
ter, thanked the floorwalker and walk
ed out.
eff he had been a woman, said a
girl who was standing by, II should
have said something insulting to him."

ANIMUS roc PLAIN.
Eddy ArSus.)

The administration of Governor Otero
will suffer IN no way by the %yowlings OF
the small-caliber Democratic organs of
the territory. The animus is too plain
ly evidenced. Never before has the
territory enjoyed such a prosperous
period as during the past two years;
and all indications are for still greater
prosperity. Results are arrived at by
comparisons, and the most tlattering
and convincing evidence possible to
Governor Otero's administration is to
compare it with that of any other
executive in the whole history of New
Mexico. The progressive citizens of
the Pecos valley are keenly sensible of
the governors efforts in the territory's
behalf, and are anxious to give every
possible support and encouragement.
The source from which has emanated
the little criticism in this portion of
the territory is of so little consequence
that its words are vertically still born.

The Democrats often make the asSer-
ton that the tariff shelters and builds
up trusts, although free trade England
has as great trusts as those in America.
BIT if there be truth in the charge in
any instance, the Republican party
should lose no time in removing the duty
upon every article which a trust con-
trolls for the purpose of eXtorting undue
prices from consumers. Heroic treat
ment is called for, and this remedy is
easily applied.

control it. 1t is also contendcd that
Uncle Sam has no right to go into
Wyoming or Utah and build reservoirs
for the benefit of the people of those
states with money from the public treas
ury. The answer to this is that if it is
right for the government to build dikes
and dams and %jetties to protect the
people of the Mississippi valley from
floods, it is equally right to build dams
and furnish water to arid regions of the
west.

Government irrigation Work.

Professor Elwood Meade, who is at
the head of the United States irrigation
bureau. has established headquarters at
Cheyenne. Wyoming, after having visit
ed the Pecos and Rio Grande valleys to
make Investigations. The first move
will be to determine the cost and char
acter of work needed to make use of all
the available water for irrigation in the
different sections classed as arid. The
data gathered will not be valuable for
the information of the individual and
corporate i%rrigators, but will be made
the basis of an exhaustive report to
congress asking that the federal govern
ment, as a part Of it's great system OF
internal improvement, embrace the re-
clamation of the arid lands. Irrigation
interests will certainly be advanced
under the work of this bureau because
Professor Meade understands the matter
and is the foremost advocate of cession of
government lands to the various states
and territories in which they are located,
and the construction of reservoirs by
the government.

here last Thursday and Friday, and
visited the public schools and the Mill

Mr.. Baca is ex-officio member of the
board of regents of the Military lnsti-

in its progress and welfare. He ad-
dressed the cadets at the institute and
the pupils in the main building of the

Chicago, February ia riot, in
which two thousand men, women ana
children took part, occurred this after
noon at the Star theatre, Sedgwick
and Division streets, and before the
police arrived the interior of the the
atre had been badly damaged. Scenery
which vas to have been used in the
presentation Of a play had been tied
up by legal proceedings, and after the
audience had waited until 4:30 p. N.
for the curtain to go up, many began
to clamor for the return of their
money. They were refused at the box
Office, and two minutes afterward
chairs were broken in pieces and hurl-
ed at the stage, chandeliers were
broken, carpets were torn up and the
theatre and sidewalk outside was one
mass of fighting, yelling humanity.
The changing Of the patrol wagon bells
scattered the crowd in a hurry, how
ever. Later in the afternoon the
money was refunded to those who pre-
scented their coupons.

In entering upon the role OIL con-
queror Mr.. Mckinley will do well to
consider the character of the people
whom he proposes to conquer. Upon
this point he cannot consult better
authority than the gentleman whom
he himself has appointed q special
commissioner to the Philippines. Prof.
Dean Worcester lays stress upon the
capacity of the various tribes ia the
Philippines for maintaining a guerilla
warfare, and the success with which
many of the wild tribes of the iuteior
preserved their independence in this
way against the Spaniards. Admiral
Dewey, who has been long enough there
to have acquired some knowledge OF
the natives of Luzon, utters this re-
cent and significant word Of warning
since the late fighting at Manila. In
an interview on February 14th he ia
reported as saying: With ordinary
people I should say the backbone OF
the instruction had been broken, but
with this race you can never tell. Ad-
mirai Dewey, in speaking, Of course, OF

70 INCREASE THE ARMY
Continued from First Page.

Washington's farewell address and to
eulogies on the late Senator Morrill,.
The House enters upon
THE LAST TWO WEEKS
of the session tomorrow, with three
appropriation bills-the Army, Fortif-
cations and General Deficiency-unact-
ed upon, and the naval bill but half
completed. The army bill must be
held back until the Senate decides up
on its course relative to the reorgan-
ization bill, but it is not anticipated
that either Of the other bills will cause
trouble. The situation in the House
has, however, been greatly complicated
by the action Of the Senate, in placing
the Nicaragua canal bill upon the river
and harbor bill as a rider. This will
doubtless precipitate a bitter fight in
the House, and may result in the loss
Of the bill. But the failure of the river
and harbor bill will not make an extra
session incumbent. But the contest
over it will develop bad blood and pro-
duce friction which may make it all
the more difficult with the other meas
ures which must of necessity pass to
avoid an extraordinary session. The
consequence results on all the big ap-
preparation bills are yet to be adopted,
and if the Senate loads some of them
down, as it has the river and harbor,
STORMY TIMES IN THE HOUSE.
are inevitable during the closing days.
The last six days of the session for
~tunately are suspension days, under
which any proposition al be forced to
a vote after twenty minutes debate on
a side. Tomorrow is also suspension
day under the rules, and advantage will
be taken Of it to pass the bill for the
payment of $40, 900, 900 to Spain to carry
out the terms of the Paris treaty. When
confronted only with the alternative
of voting against the appropriation it
is not likely that half a dozen votes will
be recorded against it, although a dec
laration against
THE PERMANENT ANNEXATION
of the Philippines would command well
nigh the entire strength of the Demo-
cratic and Populistic representatives,
as well Is some Republican votes. The
members interested in public building
bills favorably acted upon last week
in committee of the whole, have per-
suaded Speaker Reed to give them an
opportunity to pass them in the House,
and he will tomorrow recognize Mr..
Mercer, chairman of the Committee on
Public Buildings and Grounds, to move
the passage, under suspension, of a
special order, setting aside a day later
in the week for their consideration.
Chairman Knox, of the Committee on
Territories, together with Mr.. Hit,
chairman of Foreign Affairs, who was
on the Hawaiian commission, are in
sisting strenuously upon the imperative
necessity for the passage of the bill for
the government of Hawaii at this ses-
sion, and Speaker Reed and the Com
mittee en- Rules will give this matter
consideration early in the week.

A BAD WRECK.

Spokane, Washn., February 19.-The
Great Northern east-bound flyer was
wrecked at 5 o'clock this morning neal
Wilson Creek, between this city and
Wenatchee. Three men were injured,
as follows:
Engineer Works, leg broken and
body bruised.
Express Messenger Klinefelter, badly
injured internally.
Fireman Jones, scalded.
The train was running 35 miles an
hour, making up lost time, and the ac-
cident is attributed to the spreading
of the rails. The engine and tender
turned over and some of the passenger
cars and the baggage cars were piled.
No passengers are reported injured.

With the opening up of another first

announced to take place early in APP
I'll, Wheeling will be we'll supplied with
good accommodations for the travelling
public. There is nothing that speaks
louder for a town than warm Hobbies,
easy chairs, good, clean beds and
sumptuous eating, and nothing is more
noticeable or more fruitful of comment
than this self-same thing. There are
towns which travelling men avoid stop
ping over night in, and there are others
they will inconvenience themselves to
get into for a good square meal or a
nights rest. 1t is needless to say that
Wheeling belongs to the latter class, and
her facilities are keeping abreast with
the enterprise and progress of the city
along other lines.
