PENDANT
AT times Mr.. Dole was dramatic in
his manner; particularly when he
showed the manner in which the negro
might have advanced upon Jackson
and Cockett in the saloon with an omen
knife in his hand with the intent To
commit murder, as he said. Not a
gesture which Togo Jackson made nm
the time of his fall into the street
was missed. He simulated every
movement and made much of thu de-
tails which led up to the actual blow.
There was little direct evidence which
could be procured, but to his mind tbe
fact that the running fight occurred so
quickly in the narrow alleyway. was
conclusive evidence to him that the
knife was already drawn before the
exit from the saloon. He believed that
ne negro was guilty of the crime as
charged in the indictment, and asked
the jury to bring in their verdict ac
cordingly
Judge Stanley charged the Jury very
carefully, and spoke for long time up-
on the responsibility which the Jurors

Mathematical Magic.

Figures are capable of bewildering
antics. Here is method by which
they may be made to tell secrets in a
way that will astonish those who are
not Informed about how to do the Zig
uring." Ask some person to put down
unknown to you number composed Of
three figures (say 762). Tell him to
tranSpoSe or reverse the figures fmak-
ing 267l, and to substract the lesser
from the greater. Then ask him to
tell you the first figure of the result,
and you can tell him the entire num-
ber For instance, your first number
in the present example is 7G2, which
transposed makes 267. Substract 267
from 762 and you have 495. The only
figure that you are told is 4. the first
of the result. All you have to do is to
substract 4 from ., which will give
you 5, the last figure, and the central
figure is always 8. SO your number
will be 495. This is true in all cases
where only three figures are used in
making up number. The central
figure win always he . when the trans
posed number is stracted from the
original number. and the two end fig
ures when added together will make
Q. SO, knowing either the first or last
figure of the result you can give the
entire number.

THE FELLOW WHO SAYS I WILL

Some folks. it is said, are born lucky
And accomplish whate'er they at
tempt;
Such people have plenty Of money,
From poverty's sting they're ex-
empt.
But this thing Of luck is a fable;
There's something In talent and
skill,
But the fellow who conqucrs revcrses,
Is the fellow who SAYS I will.
There's something in high aspirations,
Yes. ambition means great deal,
And then. with some common sense
added,
Ones life is made earnest and real.
But common sense unused brings
nothing,
And ambition won't fill the bill,
For the ambitious, practical fellow
Must also declare IL will"
So, away with your grumbllng and
growing,
And away with the sigh and the
frown,
And take up your cross and endure it,
If e'cr you would merit the crown.
Let nothing your ambition smother,
And nothing your energies Kill;
Be active. and earnest. and honest
Re the fellow who says II will"

LOVE LETTERS TO ORDER
The Strange Occupation OF Certain Persons
In the City of New Mexico.

Perhaps there Is no more chara acter
lstic sight in the city of Mexico than
the so-called "evangelistas" who ply
their trade in the Ilazurla de BeleIn
and the Plazuela Of Santo Domingo.
Those who operate in the former spot
make speciality OF writing letters to
the inmates Of the prison for their IL
nterate relatives on the outside; but
the "evangelistaS.' who may be seen
any day in the PlaZuela of Santo Do
lnlnSo, do general business. They
write love letters, Matchmaking letters
and all sorts of letters for those who
do not know how to write, at a rate
or three, six, nine or more cents ac-
cording to the length of the miSsivc.
They also undertake without extra
charge to write the address on the en-
velope and to attach the required
stamp, but for the latter they make
an extra charge of one cent 1t is
hardly necessary to state that only very
ignorant people. who are totally un-
acquainted even with the simple for
mallties Of mailing a letter. In addition
course to the evangeistas for stamps.
One of the Santo Domingo evangelis-
taS Is now in prison meditatng over the
Tact that to dcfraud the Government
even out of five cents may be very
serious matter in the eyes of the law.
The name Of this evangelista is j. +.
Nasquez His services were engaged
by Mrs. Inez Hernandez to write let
ter to her husband, who is absent from
the city. After he had written the let
ter NasqueZ asked Mrs. Hernandez
if she wanted stamp. On her assent
ing he attached a scent stamp and col
lected six cents in addition to his regu-
lar charge for writing the letter
With the addressed and stamped en-
velope Mrs. Hernandez went to the |
branch post office in the cxa,luana |
building and not knowing in which box |
10 drop II. asked the postal inspector,
Manuel Espinosa, who happened to be
in the post office, for Information on the
subject. Mr.. Espinosa took the letter
to read the address and was about 10
return It to Mrs. Hernandez when he !
noticed that the color of the stamp
was extremely dim. BY still closer
scrutiny he discovered that the stamp
had been already cancelled and the
faintness of color was due TO n chem
ical treatment that had been applied for
the purpose Of effacing the ink of the
seal.
The inspector asked the Hernandez
from whom she had bought the
stamp and she led him to the stand of
the evangelista from whom she had
made the purchase. The evangelism at
first denied having sold the stamp to
he woman, but as two other women
who had been present testified that
hey had seen him sell the stamp, he
vas taken to the police station and
rom there to Belem. His offence is a
much more serious one than appears
IN the surface.
For some time past It had been no.
iced that letters bearing cancelled
tamps have been mailed at the Santo
Domingo branch post office, but it
ould never be found out by whom 1t

1t is very apparent, even at this
early date, that ]. T. Ronald will be
defeated by a much larger vote than
was either Jones wheat Chart) or
Lewis two years ago. And why not?
Would it not be a burning shame for
the Republicans to elect man like
Ronald to congress? It will be re
membered that the Republicans did
elect Ronald to office once on a time,
and the Pie-maker seems to remem-
Der that he did not make a very bril-
liant record while he was in office
unless it was a record Of borrowing
the public funds and chase about the
country on that borrowed money,
which same money caused one Of his
fellow officeholders to serve a term
in the state penitentiary. The con-
census of opinion concerning the
loans made by that official is to the
effect that there were others beside
Krug that should have done terms
in the state prison.

That's not all that Prof Meredith

That's not all that Prof. Meredith
has done which is detrimental to the
public school system of. this county
Don't lose sight of the fact that the
election of NJ. NJ. Moss, who has no
qualifications whatever for holding
such a position, is but re-electing
Meredith to the SUPPLEMENTARY of
the public schools), because Seattle
would not use lot of text books as
rotten and as vile as anything could
be, and yet be called school books, all
of which are chock full of errors and
blunders of the worst kind; in short,
complete murder Of Mother Eng
fish, this man Meredith, who is
now endeavoring to have his man
Friday elected superintendent Of the
public schools, has knocked the city
Of Seattle out Of nearly 100000 from
the state school appropriation. Prof.
Meredith is aware of the fact that
those text books are rotten, why then
is he so anxious that the children of
Seattle use them in spite of their in
correctness? Simply because it
means something for him; it means
something for Moss, and the two are
lnseparable. Again, why is Prof.
Meredith so solicitous about Moss
being elected? Is it because that
Moss has had so much experience as
a school teacher and that he would
make an excellent school superin-
tendent? Not much, for Mr.. Moss
has never been princi pal of even a
country school. Mr.. Moss has never
had any experience at school teach
ing at all except three years as a
subordinate teacher, and very subor-
dinate at that, in the High School Of
this city. Yes, there is a reason for
all this, in the opinion Of the Pie
maker, and it lies in the fact that
Meredith has tickled Moss back and
now Moss is to tickle Meredith's
back, and the combine to push the
text book steal of this state to COM
plete success by driving Seattle into
using the nefarious books or deprive
her of some 100000 appropriations
of the state funds. Perhaps the vot-
ers Of King county will support a
man of the above stripe for superin-
tendent of public schools, but the
Pie-maker very seriously doubts it.

Among other things found in the
last issue of that paper we see that it
accuses Boyd J. Tallman, candidate
for judge of the superior court, with
repudiating promise he is said to
have made in reference to the ap-
pointment of colored man for bail
if. The Bee states that Mr.. Tall
man promised "that he would do
anything any other candidate would
do" as to the appointment of a col
Ored man for bailiff, and that he now
says he never made such a promise.
The Bee does not, however, state
that he has refused to appoint a
Negro as bailiff in his court.

eff I am ever elected governor Of
this state | do not intend to use the
veto power, but allow the odium en-
mating from the acts of any legisla-
ture to rest upon them and the party
they represent" so said Mr.. John
R. Rogers at Ellensburg, when he
was a candidate for the nomination
of governor. In spite Of that asser-
ton, which Mr.. Rogers cannot deny
that he said in addressing the Free
Silver Republican convention, he
has used the veto power more than
any other man that was ever COVER
nor Of the territory or state of Wash
ington. He has vetoed right and
left and has allowed no legislation to
remain on the statute books Of this
state put there by two-third major
ity Of the legislature unless such leg
islation met his personal approval.
No man either in this or any other
state Of this Union ever betrayed
every promise and pledge he made
when a candidate so fully and com
pletely as has John R. Rogers, and
vet in the face of all that George
Turner managed, with the powerful
influence Of filthy lucre used on the
convention floor, so charged by
members of the convention, of cor
rupting a sufficient number Of dele
gates to renominate the man. Was
there ever more burning shame
perpetrated on an intelligent people
than the denomination of John R
Rogers and School Superintendent
Browne?

From a knowledge gained by an
acquaintance with Boyd J. Tallman
covering nine years we know the
Negro has no better or truer friend
in King county than he.
Superintendent Meredith, who is
closely identified with the present
school text book outrage in this state.
has been for the past four years SUI
perintendent of the public schools
OF King county, drawing a salary Of
about 5000 per month. Now, let's
see if Prof Meredith has earned his
salary from King county by giving
value received in the way Of time
and labor for the salary he and his
assistant have drawn down from the
county. Since he has been school
superintendent he has completed
full college course at the state uni
versity, and graduated therefrom last
year. Instead of visiting the county
schools during the week he has spent
the days of each week himself going
to school Instead of being in his
office, as the law requires, when he
was not visiting the schools in the
county, he was attending the state
university as student, and during
each day of the week the office was
locked UP, and persons journeying
from distant parts of the county to
see either the superintendent or his
deputy on school matters would have
to journey back home without see
ing either, as Meredith was going to
school and his assistant teaching
school. Now, in all seriousness. do
you think Prof. Meredith earned the
money that has been paid him by the
county? Now, Mr.. Meredith had an
assistant superintendent and it was
his duty to be in the office in the alb
sence of his superior, but he was not,
and instead of being in the office, as
the law requires him to be, he was
holding a position as teacher in the
High School of this city. Now, did
this assistant refuse to draw his
salary for not being in the office over
a few hours each week? Oh, no; not
much! He not only drew his SIS
per month for that little work, but
he likewise drew big salary as
teacher in the High School. That
assistant was none other than NJ. NJ. |
Moss, the Democratic candidate for
superintendent Of schools in this
county at the present time. Now,
to your mind, dear readers, what
does this all mean? It simply means
that Moss is to be elected and will |
Meredith his assistant, and |
in case Browne is reelected state SUI
perintendent, Meredith is to reman
on the state board of education and |
the two are to flourish with the |
West-Land Publishing Co. and he
and Moss to divide the emoluments
of office between them.

Get the vote on the adoption of
the text books Of this state and see
if Prof Meredith did not do some of
the most peculiar voting that you
ever saw man do who did not have
a financial reason for voting as he
did. He has locked up his office
since he has been school superin-
tendent and has been Saving wood" |
in his own private interest ever since,
but has never failed to draw his sal
airy at the proper time.

We do not know what promises, if
any, Mr.. Tallman has made in refer
ence to the appointment Of bailiffs,
but we do know that he will fulfil
any and all promises that he has
made, as he is an honorable and up
right man. But what do our people
expect from the Democrats should
they be elected? VIII either Judge
Jacobs, Judge Benson or Judge
Strudwick, if elected, appoint Ne

Southerner, having lived in North
Carolina all his life before coming to
