PRESIDENT JOHN P. HAINES, in an
address before the American Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, takes the ground that the
killing of cats by teachers in the pub
lie schools for the purpose of dissection
should receive the most resolute dis
couraRement, because, he says, two
men who practice it get fond of it and
women who get fond OF cat killing are
on the high road to homicidal
MANIA President Haines thinks the
effect of such work is also very bad on
the children who witness it. Even
those who feel that the industry of cat
killing in large cities should in the in
terest of public and private peace and
comfort be continued will be willing to
admit that Mr.. Haines's arguments
have force

The Problem OF the Poor.

There is a general belief that there
are no poor in Ell Paso-that the tide
of prosperity has so rolled over our
city that all have work and are pro
| vided for. Several times l have beer
assured that there are no worthy poor
| in our city.
Since making this part of my work
I have come upon case after case
which, on being Investigated proved to
be worthy of aid. Cases where pride
or sensitiveness prevent making
public the needs, but where q little
money would be well spent in meeting
actual necessities.
l have several cases on hand now
where food is greatly needed; where
there Is sickness, or lack of work.
The great problem now is-how to
meet these needs.
There are also two or three cases
where individuals ought to be helped
to reach friends in other parts Of the
country. las we have no associate
charities here, the work must neces-
sarily be voluntary and largely In
dividual.
1 wish to call the attention of our
benevolent and public spirited citizens
to this phase of city mission work, and
beg each to thoughtfully consider the
and be prepared to respond
generously if called on for help in this
important charitable work, for | find
it true that 1.-THE poor ye have always
with you, and when We will ye may DO
them good" No case is ever helped
without first being thoroughly in
vestigated.
Yours for God and humanity,
MRS. J. A. MERRILL,

THE ring of horses hoofs will echo in
the ears of editorial writer's in the cri-
teal east and in the cultured north
when they read of the daring bank
robbery which took place in Las Cruces
yesterday, and New Mexico will again
be paraded in their columns as wild
and woody territory. But, as matter of
fact, no greater surprise would be
sprung on the people of New York
City if two men should ride up to a

pie of the southwest by the bank rob-
bers in Las Cruces. Such affairs have
become great rarity IN this part of the

ed yesterday when they read the stirring
news. The account read more like a
story from Chicago or New York than
q story from Las Cruces. Robbers just
as nervy, with just as much GOODNESS
and courage, only recently held up the
cashier of factory in ST. Louis in q
crowded street car and got away with
his cash.

pAN-AMERICAN CONGRESS

| The suggestion of President Nc.
Kinley that another Pan-Americar
congress be convened and this time
preferably in the City of Mexico. be-
cause the first was held in Washington,
has been favorably received by the
various republics of South and Central
America, and the next step will pro-
ton by Mexico to these nations to par
ticipate in such congress. 1t is the
hope of President Mckinley that this
congress will bring about closer as
socistion of the political and CONNER
cisl interests of the American nation
and afford many opportunities for the
extension of the trade of this country
in the southern hemisphere.
Msny propositions are under con-
sideration with regard to this con-
gress, among them the most notable
being the establishment of an inter-
national bank, to adopt if possible
measures to simplify the customs and
practices of the various nations, to Sc
cure the acceptance of universal COM
mercial nomenclature, and to push the
construction of an International rail-
road.
Such plans as universal arbitration
scheme, universal extradition laws and
treaties may come before the congress,
aud general attempt be made tounify
the interests of the American re pu blics.
Ell Paso, sitting at the gateway to
the republic, would receive immense
benefit from such gathering and the
work would undoubtedly result in unit
ing the city more closely to Mexican
cities and states.

THE LAST GREAT WAR.

An interview with Herr Won Bloch,
the Russian author of the treatise on
war which is said to have awakened in
the car the ideas which led to his
call for the peace conference at The
Hague, is published. Asked if the
Trausvaal war would not tend to coun-
tersct any good achieved at the
conference, the Russian writer said:
Il will say that this war is compile
ment of the cOnference-an expedien
for its work-a proof to skeptics of the
necessity of peace"
The defeats of the English by q
the first practical con affirmation of the
complete transformation in warfare
produced by modern weapons. The
position of force on the defensive is
now 80 vastly improved that its rela-
ton to the attacking force is in the
proportion of eight to one: and the re-
suit ia that q small number of men we'll
intrenched can resist q tremendously
large force. Lsdysmith, Matching
and Kimberley, where a comparative
ly few Englishmen successfully hold
out against many Beers, as we'll as
Magersfontein, Stormberg and Col
enso, where the conditions were re-
versed, prove this. Asked if he thought
few decisive strokes might end the
war, Herr Won Bloch replied:
''By no means. Modern war can be
only war of siege and entrenchDent,
with the avoidance of all open attacks
and free field battles. A vast time il,
therefore, required, AID this war will
last longer than any war Of former
times and it will be far bloodier. Deci-
give battles no longer are possible.
Not q battle fought thus far in the
present war has ended decisively-that
all leading military authorities ad-
nit"
'"But if England exerts all her pow
ers, and, by massing tremendous forces,
compels victory"
''Thst lies outside the realm Of pos
sibilities," was the quick answer. SIT
is the question of provisions alone that
makes it seem impossible
that England could ever
concentrate such q tremendous
force in that country, and the further
the British go from the coast the more
difficult becomes the question. No;
the chances of the English will grow
constantly worse. 1t will come to q
complete stagnstion of military move
ments and the troops will lie watching
each other for months, tormenting
each other by little skirmishes.
$50, it may last for years, until a
clearer understanding dawns or until
the stagnation in the money market
causes commercial circles 20 cali
halt
Herr Won Bloch does not believe
that Intervention by European powers
will take place, but he believes that
the sound sense of the English people
will finally command a cessation of the
massacre and will see that the prestige
of England must suffer much more by
