Ludwig Gebhardt, a wealthy young man
from Mannheim. Germany, who was visit

daughter of a prominent and well-to-do
farmer of New Athens. was the belle Of

WATCHMEN At CROSSINGS.
New Law In Rhode Island Conferriu,
Power ON state COmmi missioner.

In Rhode Island every railroad company is
now required to have gate, fiagman or
other suitable precautionary measure or
appliance at every highway crossing
where the State Railroad Commissioner
shall deem such protection necessary for
sions of the Commissioner are subject to
review by the Supreme Court. This is IN ,
requirement. of a law just passed. Rhode
Island is but a small part of the map OF
the United States, but Il principle Is indie
pendent Of area or bulk. and even.in Rhoie
Island there viii no doubt be some critics
who VIII call this statute an invasion of
the right of local self-government. says the
Railroad Gazette.
The fundamental principle that the high
ways of each town shall be managed by
the officers of such town Is one which citf-
zens are generally decidedly ayerse to mod
flying In any way. except where they can
see prospect of direct financial advanta se
and the question whether safety requires an
attendant or an audible warning apparatus
at railroad crossing comes within the
general subject of highway management
But in View of the great cost of guarding
crossings. and the difficulty of negotiating
concerning this matter with most town
ofhcers. u is likely that every railroad sli-
perintendent in Rhode Island will be glad
tina; this law has been passed.
The question whether at a certain Cross
Ing, the absence of all warning Of the ap-
proach of trains should longer be endured
is at best hazy one. and usually difficult
to determine; and Il will therefore be
State-to have the interests of all cities and
towns intrusted 10 the hands of one man or
one State board of few members.
A State Commissioner knowing the con-
d!ttons at scores of hundreds of crossings
can almost surely judge of any particular
case. in some of its aspects. better then
town officers can. so that putting the mat
ter in his hands is likely to prevent much
friction. A State officer will not neglect
the interests OF town. while al the same
time he can appreciate the burden of the
railroad company.

Fully 10000 people from the east and
the middle west will be settled by next
May III ne northwest by railroad COM
panies interested in that section. The
opportunities for mining, agriculture,
stock growing, manufacturing and 9TH
er industrial pursuits in the northwest
are no greater than in the southwest,
and the climate is far inferior. The tide
of immigration should therefore set in
equally as heavy toward New Mexico
as it does toward Montana. The bureau
of immigration is working hard to bring
this about. 1t has undoubtedly succeed
ed in attracting thousands of transient
and permanent settlers to the territory.
In addition, hundreds of thousands of
dollars of capital have been invested in
New Mexico through the efforts of the
bureau, which, if it had the full coop
Grafton of other interests, such as are
directing new settlers to the northwest,
could divert the larger part of the west
ward stream of immigration to this ter
ritory.

Endorsements Are Deserved

The unanimity with which the Re.
publican county conventions endorsed
the territorial administration is the best
answer to the scurrilous attacks of GER
tain Populistic papers upon Governor
Otero and the present administration.
And why shouldn't the county conven-
tons speak well of the territorial ad-
ministration? Never before in ITS his
tory has New Mexico been so
prosperous, has it made so much pro-
gress, has it been governed so economi-
cally and wisely, have its finances been
in such splendid condition. The present
territorial administration is certainly q
pleasant contrast to some of the Demo-
cratic administrations that preceded It.
When Governor Otero assumed the re-
sponsibilities of the executive office the
finances of the territory were In de-
plorable conditions; New Mexico terri
torial as well as county and city bonds
sold way below par, confidence of out
side capitalists In New Mexico was gone
and the public school system gave no
promise OF the great strides forward it
made the last few years. All this has
changed for the better, and that Is GER
reason enough not only for the
Republicans, but of every thinking citi-
zen, to endorse the territorial admins

A Wonderful Discovery,

BY accident a French savant discov-
cred last week that a block of bioxide
of sodium will purify vitiated air until
the last particle of the bioxide has been
absorbed. This opens a new field for
submarine work and submarine vessels.
The bioxide will also be employed to
purify the air in hospitals. Mining OPP
erations will be rendered much more
safe by its use. Crowded factory rooms
can always be kept full Of fresh, sweet
air. In theaters and places Of public
meeting people can breathe more freely
again. In schools children will be
brighter and healthier for it's presence.
1t will dispense with the necessity Of
opening windows in winter time. In
stead of losing three-quarters of the ar
tificial heat of a room through the win
dows opened for ventilation, apart
ments can be kept Theoretically closed
from November until May, and have a
constant equable temperature, with no
less perfectly pure, and the coal bill cut
down to one-fourth the present amount.
1t suggests wonderful advances in the
cure of consumption, and it is doubtless
the most important scientific discovery
made since the Roentgen rays were dis
covered by a German savant. "That is
the great joy of scientific work." said
DR.. Desgrez, one of the two d]iscoverers

The cost of construction and of opera
ton Of electric trolley lines has been
reduced so much within late years, and
will probably be reduced still further
that to-day there is not a town in Mas
sachusetts with more than 5000 inhab-
itants that does not possess an electric
railway, and there are now 1,700 miles
Of electric railway in that state. The
cost of operating trolley roads on those
lines varies from ~ to 20 cents per car
| per mile. The electric cars are much
cleaner, and make less noise than the
steam cars, and transportation is much
cheaper thar it has beer heretofore.
The results attained in Massachusetts,
seem to indicate that an electric rail-
way franchise granted by New Mexico
cities at this time would be a good
thing, for New Mexico cities are sure
to grow, and lines constructed at the
present would be valuable properties in
a decade or so, when franchises will not
be so easily procured as at present.

A Political Forecast.

The New York Herald. a Democratic
paper that has the decency to be honest
at times, after a careful canvass of every
state that President McKin-
ley at this stage Of the campaign, if a
vote were taken, would probably receive
25s electoral votes, Colonel Bryan 16s
and 81 votes would be in doubt. The
states called doubtful are Indiana, Idaho
and Montana. Now, as a matter of fact,
Indiana is almost certainly Republican
and that would add Is electoral votes to
the 25S votes deemed certain for Presi-
dent Mckinley. Says the Herald: 'Bry-
an to win, must knock the apparently
solid Republican states literally to pieces.
Should he carry all the doubtful states,
including Indiana, and add to these
Illinois, West Virginia and Delaware,
he would have only 222 electoral votes,
or five less than a majority of the cleo
toral college" As the Herald reckons
such doubtful states as Maryland and
Kentucky in the Bryan column it will
be seen that its estimates are very con-
sentative and can be taken as a truthful
and competent estimate of the national
political situation as it appears to The
unprecedented observer. There is not
much consolation for the Bryanites in
those figures, and the pie counter must
seem farther removed than ever to the
New Mexico Democrats after reading
those figures given by a Democratic

SANTA Re RAILROAD STATISTICS.
Great Progress Has Been Made by the Com
pany in Operating Efficiency.
(Railway Age

In a review last December of the gen.
eral improvement in the status of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, It was
shown that the surplus income of the
fiscal year 1899, amounting to $4,1ss, 900,
was equivalent to 1857 per cent on the
STA. 600, 900 of preferred stock. Operat-
ing expenses had been heavily over
charged for maintenance, and the COM
pany's revenue freight traffic had been
handled in average train loads Of 1872
tons. The following prophecies were
then ventured upon:
Good judges believe that within a
short time Atchison will be able to show
a train load of at least 200 tons. The re-
duction Of maintenance outlays to the
level of ordinary requirements only,
and the attainment of a 2OO-ton freight
train load, would add, on the basis Of
the gross earnings Of 1899, approximate
ly $5,000,0 900 to the net divisible income,
which would thus yield the full s per
cent to which the preferred shares are
entitled, and a surplus Of some az per
