: The Standard, in an editorial expressing
the opinion that the Boer peace delega-

United States, says:
Americans are not likely to go to any
dangerous lengths, or to commit their adj
ministration to an unwarranted quarrel
with Great Britain. If Europe keeps her
hands of the New World, the arrange

that the American people would engage
in such colossal folly as to interfere in

CHAPTER. VIII.

| As the major and his wife were be- ing driven up to the pier where the Cleopatra lay, his agitation increased. Ut will soon be over," he sighed. 'You will cable me as soon as you land, won't you, Jeanne?"
 There was just hint of hesitation in the look she gave him, then:
 "Yes, dear Rowland" she said, "the moment I land; but my letters, re- member, must go to the box"
 T shall simply haunt the place." he declared.
 They alighted from the cab and walked along the pier through the hurryirg throng of cabmen, draymen, passengers and people who had come to see their friends off. Reaching the gang plank, lowered for the ac- commodation of the saloon passen- gers, they saw Mrs. Nolan on the up- per deck leaning against the railing and trying to attract their attention. Mrs. Goddard laughed merrily and waved the bit of cambric she held in her hand.
 "Let's go right up," she said to her husband. 1T want you to see our big rooms. You will agree with me that it is better to go in a boat that is not quite so fast than to miss such quarters Rs I have engaged.'
 He complied. The attention her beauty and stylish appearance mad at tracted from the bystandcrs had not escaped his eye. His heart was beat ing madly as he followed her up the gangplank to the first deck. In mo- ment they were shaking hands with Mrs. Nolan. Goddard's handshake was a mere cold formality. He now hearti- ly disliked his wife's homely confeder- ate. He despised her for being weak enough to obey Jeanne's criminal or

I. O. O. F. NIINSTRELS.

Arrangement has already been made that the minstrel performance given two weeks ago by AnsantaWae- en- campment, l. 0. 0. F., will be repeat ed on New Years evening at poli s, and quite naturally the announcement has created widespread local interest. So well did the local Thespians acquit themselves on the previous occasion that the verdict was general that the performance compared well with any professional minstrelS seen on the To- cal stage. Now. with the added eX- perience of that performance and the nervousness natural to d first night worn off, the young men will be lr much better shape to give q thorough ly finished entertainment There was little atmosphere of amateurism about the other performance. certainly muc!r less than is usually q feature of such performances. and when it is repeated on New Years night at Polls it may be expected to be quite the prOfesSion- al performance in all that goes to make one. The sale of seats opens on Monday morning. and it is expected that the friends of the I. O. o. F. and their minstrel boys will be out in force to secure them.

DOWN IN MOBILE

"Down in Mobile" Lincoln J. Car ters latest production. will be the fol lowing attraction on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at the Jacques. open ing with Monday matinee. The play tells thrilling story Of true southern life, and is full of exciting situations. narrowing climaXes and splendid tab leauN. It has been pronounced by some critics the best of the many sue cessful works that AIr Carter'S versa tile pen has yet turned out. There is fire scene in one act that is said to be a marvel of realism. It is the burning of a great cotton mill Situat- ed near one of the swamps of Ala bama. One of the features of the play is the practice of voodOoism prevalent among the negroes and some ignorant whites in the south. The part of Mother Gubarre. vOOdOo woman. is portrayed by a well known and talent ed actress and is one of the hits of the piece s'Down in Mobile" should draw large audiences here.

 Well, let me see your staterooms, '' he said. resignedly.
 They are on this deck, the last towards the stern," said Mrs. Goddard leading the way. Tn fact, there are no other apartments up here except the captains, and his quarters are further forward. We shall be absolutely pri- yate.'
 They had now reached a door to which Mrs. Nolan had the key, and they unlocked it and went in. It was indeed spacious apartment. In addi- tion to the wide double bed, the room , contained soft lounge, tea table and china service, and a little sideboard braced against the wall. Adjoining it were a bath and a single-berth room.
 "Here,' said Mrs. Goddard, opening the door of closet about a yard in depth, lis the gem of modern improve ments. l can hang up my things and they will keep dry and smooth. Be- sides, the purser said there were but two keys to it. and he has promised to let me have both of them, for security's sake.'

 Mrs. Goddard laughed mysteriously.

 The brows of the major ran together in PerpleXity.
 What is at the bottom of this ?" he said What sort of valuables do you refer to?"

 You are so strange,' he said. try ing to fall into her mood. Just then one of the deck hands came in with Mrs. Nolan's steamer trunk and small CT luggage. A large willow basket to which was attached card bearing the advertisement of a welI-known dehcatessen establishment riveted the rowing glance of the major Noting his curious stare at it, Mrs, Nolan moved nearly to the door and stood looking out at the clattering machines which were hois ing vast loads of trunks and boxes from the pier below.
 Tt is only a basket of fruit I or dered Lucy to get for me-" said Mrs. Goddard, her face suddenly changing. "I always find that it is difficult to get just the right kind of fruit one wants on board, no matter how good the supply is.''
 But said the majc bending down and removing the cover, .they must have made some mistake This bas- ket does not contain fruit. There cer tainly are cans of meats, sardines. pate de foies gras and rolls of boned turkey. They have sent you the wrong basket"

Miuionaires Invest in Mines.

John Hays Hammond, the South Afri-
can millionaire, is on the way to Colo
RADIO with s 1000, 900 in his pocket for
the purchase of mining property in the
Centennial state. The Armours OF Chi
cago have also decided to spend $2O,-
900, 900 in mines in Colorado, and other
millionaires have ere this discovered
that they can invest their millions to
advantage in mines. The good things
coming to Colorado indicate that equal
ly as much money will come to New
Mexico sooner or later. This territory
is camping right on the trail of Colorado
and probably is ever richer in mineral
wealth than that state, only it has not
been developed so largely and the lack
of statehood on the part of New Mexico
has been a drawback to investors. But
the day will surely come when the cap
ital at present invested In New Mexico
mines, which is not small by any means,
will be doubled. trebled and quadrupled
In a very short period. Let New Mexico
get statehood and outlive the memory
of the misgovernment given 1t by one
or two previous Democratic administra.
tions and the flow of capital into the ter
ritory will increase rapidly.

AS election day approaches in New
Mexico a cold, clammy feeling upon
the Democrats in the territory. Their
press tries to keep up a w%oebegone cheer
fulness, but the leaders are bidding
adieu to their hopes as they see all indi-
cations Of strife disappearing in the Re
publican ranks, and notice that the
voters are giving them the marble heart
when it com to a promise to vote the
Democratic ticket this fall. The common
sense of the people of New Mexico is
bound to assert itself at the proper time,
and therein lies the hopelessness Of the
Democratic cause.

One producer has shipped sever cars
of cantaloupes this season from Roswell
and he receives so cents a crate more
for his product than do the Rocky Ford
cantalonpe raisers. That certainly
should encourage New Mexico agri-
culturists to devote some attention to
c%antaloupe raising. The territory is so
fortunately situated as far as climate is
concerned, that with proper energy it
could supply the Kansas City, st. Louis
and Chicago markets with produce and
fruit the same as Florida is supplying
the Baltimore, New York, Philadelphia
and the Boston markets which are al
most as far away from Florida as the
markets OF the middle west are from
New Mexico.

While eastern cities show larger popu-
lation gains than western cities, on ac-
count of the concentration of large
manufacturing enterprises, it is in the
west that most vacant lands have been
taken up and most farms and villages
have been created. The Union Pacific
railroad alone, last year, sold 1,432,6 92
acres of land in the west to settlers, and
good homestead land is being rapidly
taken up. These lands will be support
ing a prosperous population when the
overcrowded cities OF the east will suffer
from shut downs in mills and factories.
