"While it cannot be stated that it
s an American habit to light lamps
md gas with money" explained an
,tficial of the redemption division of
;he Treasury Department to Wash
,ngton Star reporter, there are a
lumber who appear actually to have
money to burn, and who now and
;hen burn it. There are more money
burners, too, than come to the front
md demand a redemption of their
partly destroyed money, for some
people hesitate before they are will
ng to appear in such an indefensible
position. don't want to be under
tood as stating that it occurs every
lay, for that would probably be stretch
ng it somewhat, but it is fact that
occurs many more times than would
% supposed. A case of the kind
.ame to the division last week, where
/ fellow lighted match at the door
| If his room and from that lighted
What he supposed was piece of
paper which he had in his pocket.
Ie started with the lighted paper to
ind the gas jet. He found it, and as
lie blew out his lighted paper he as
,ertained, to his surprise and disgust
hat his taper was n ten-dollar bill,
more than one half of which had been
burned. In his communication to
ihe Secretary of the Treasury, to
whom he was advised to write, he ad-
nitted that he was fool and deserved
/ kick instead of anything else, but
,aid as grass was rather short with
aim he would have to appeal for re-.
lemption. He furnished the neces-
,ary affidavits which under the law
aave to be filed in such cases, and a
lew bill was sent him for the half
burned note which he sent in for re-
lemption. Lots of times people burn
money, but make no claim for re-
1emption, supposing that they have
40 redress in the matter. But the
Treasury Department does not as a
rule hunt up trouble, SO unless the
claim is made none is suggested.
81 had a case somewhat in the same
line recently, and there are frequent
similar occurrences, as where one
dollar dog puppy ate up two-thirds of
a five-dolIar note. The pup was of
a playful disposition wrote the man
who owned it, and. though / saw
him playing with the note, l did not
recognize it as money. But he won't
play any more in my back yard
Later on, when the puppy got tired
playing with it, the owner discovered
that the dog had been amusing him
self with note which had by accident
fallen on the floor. The affidavits in
the case were very amusing, but the
man got his remnant of note re-
deemed at its full value. The lamp
and gas lighting people are by great
odds in the majority. Out of num-
Der of such cases the percentage of
women sufferers is so small that it can
almost be said they don't lose money,
by using it as lighters. I knew of a
woman who boiled almost out of ex-
istence several bills which by some
means got in the folds of the leaves
of head of cabbage. The money,
dropped into her basket on her way
back from the market. The notes
were pretty well wrecked, for the
cabbage was being cut up when they
were discovered, but there was
enough left on which to base re-
demption,"

More than one-half, if not two-thirds
OF the entire traffic of the city passes

Letter of Thanks.

The members of the Woman's Board
of Trade and Free Library association
desire to take this opportunity of ex-
pressing their appreciation of each and
every kindness shown. to them In their
late plaza fete. We're it possible names
would be mentioned, but the list is too

the citizens of Santa Fe were not only
willing hut anxious to give and assist
in any possible way, and when men
give hours OF their valuable time what
words can be found with which t. thank
them. The success of the plaza fete
was due to the men and uni who so
generously gave to and assisted the
members of the board. We thank you
one and all. Truly yours.

MILLIONS OF WOMEN USE CUT1cURA SOAP exclusively
for preserving, purifying, and identifying the skin, for
cleansing the scalp of crusts, scales, and dandruff, and the
stopping of falling hair, for softening, whitening, and
healing red, rough, and sore hands, in the form Of baths
for annoying Invitations, infan1mations, and chafings, or
too free or offensive perspiration, in the form Of washes,
for lucrative weaknesses, and for many %sanative antiseptic
purposes which readily suggest themselves to women, and
especially mothers, and for all the purposes of the toilet,
bath, and nursery. No amount of persuasion can induce
those who have once used it to use any other, especially
for preserving and purifying the skin, scalp, and hair OF
infants and children. CUT1cURA SOAP combines delicate
emollient properties derived from CUTIcURA, the great
skin cure, with the purest of cleansing ingredients and the
most refreshing of flower odors. No other indicated or
toilet soap ever compounded is to be compared with it
for preserving, purifying, and identifying the skin, scalp,
hair, and hands. No other foreign or domestic toilet soap,
however expensive, is to be compared with it for all the
purposes of the toilet, bath, and nursery. Thus it COM
bines in ONE SOAP at ONE PRICE, viz, TWENTY FIVE CENTS,
the BEST skin and complexion soap, the BEST toilet and
BEST baby soap in the world.

HIS BASE INGRA1ITUDE
ASSAULTED 4 LADY WHO HAD
GIVEN HIM FOOD.
He WAS ARRESTED AND LODGED IN JAIL
Masked Men Then Took Him Thence to The
House of His Victim and Then to the
Outskirts of the Town Where
He Was Shot.
He Was Shot.

Newport News. Va, Jan. 5.-The
death Of William w. Watts, at the
hands of a mob between the hours of
and 5 O'Clock this morning. marks the
first sitting of Judge Lynch in Newport
News. His taking off also signalizes the
initial execution of white man for
rape in Virginia, legally or otherwise.
The crime that invoked mob vengeance
was peculiarly atrocious, being bbacken-
ed by the basest ingratitude The vic
tim OF the wretch upon whom justice
was so speedily visited was the bene-
factress of her assailant, having fed
him, a stranger at her door, when he first
appeared begging for charity three weeks
ago, after reaching here penniless from
Lynchburg, where his father is a police
man. Watts was % years old, unmar-
ried, professional gambler and comes
of a respectable family with extensive
relationship throughout the State.
Yesterday afternoon he visited the
house Of Mrs. Thomas Nj. Simpson, who
had befriended him when he was in des-
titutc circumstances telling the Lady
he was about To leave the city and stat
ing that he desired to thank her be-
fore going AWAY. Watts had made u
stake at his calling during his soJourn
here and Mrs. Simpson failed to recog-
nze in the well dressed man the misera-
BILE menticant upon whom she had be-
slowed aims three weeks before. Her
interest in the man being awakened, she
conversed with him for Ia few minutes
at the door. When she retired into the
hallway he followed her, seized her by
the throat, forced her into the sitting
room and overpowered her after des-
perate struggle.
Watts was captured on board the spe-
cial train of c. z. Huntington while it
was leaving the city yesterday afternoon,
and lodged in Jail.
Three masked men entered the sta
tion house at 4 o'clock this morning and
forced the jailor at the point of pistols
to surrender the keys. -Four companions
of the men received Watts when he was
carried out and hurried him AWAY, first
to the house of Mrs. Simpson, who iden
tilted him. and then to the outskirts OF
the city where a mob of several hun
dred men were congregated. He was
bound by the wrists tosa sapling. His
body was rddled with bullets 1t had
been intended to hang the man, but the
only rope with which the party was
provided proved too short to 60 over any
convenient limb.
The rope with which the body of the
victim was bound was cut up and dis
tributed among the onlookers.
The identity Of the lynchers is mys-
terry, and there is little prospect Of any
one connected with the affair being de-
tccted The police are making the usual
inquiry into the case.
