The party was defeated, but its obligation to

such a course be a polite one. but the fulfill.

Chss. Dyer, formerly agent of the
Santa Fe at Pueblo. and we'll known in
Ell Paso, and ccording to a Denver dis
patch the new man for general super
intendent on the Colorado & Southern,
WAS closeted with President Trum bull,
while that gentleman was here, and
they discussed the purchase of new
locomotives, cars, etc. The company
has been short of power, it seems, and
Mr.. Dyer's long suit is motive power
machinery. His father was superin-
,endent of machinery on the old Rut-
land & Burlington road for many years,
aud Charles spent his time about the
shops all through his boyhood. The
company will have new locomotives.
When approached about changes un-
der his management Mr.. Dyer replied
that he had been told that all of the
Colorado & Southern employees and di-
vision officers were frst-class railroad
men and no changes would be required.
The joint superintendency of the Pueblo
and La Junts district will probably be
extended to include Trinidad, and no
suggestion has been made as to what
change that may bring forth. Super
intendent Sears, now in charge OF the
upper part of the system, is an old
Santa Fe man, and 1t was upon the re-
dation of Mr.. Dyer that he
was employed by the Colorado 81

Buoys and ships often drag their an
chors OF break the chains when a wave
suddenly hoists them. This is owing to
the shock on the chain, which hangs
loose. To prevent this accident Mr.. o.
A. Hutchins, superintendent of light
houses in Nova Scotia, has invented an
ingenious device. 1t Is a bell shaped
float, or buoy, of metal, which is at
tached to the mooring or anchor chain,
at a point intermediate between the
bottom and the surface. It supports the
slack chain in the water, forming d
blight in it, and when a wave lifts the
vessel, or buoy, the strain on the anchor
Is relieved by Strengthening the blight
against the resistance which the sub
merged buoy with its bell mouth offers
to displacement in the water. The de
vice virtually makes the anchor chain
elastic. The invention has another adj
vantage. If buoy sinks, as might hap
pen in colliding with a ship, the chain
is partly supported in the water by the
submerged bell, and the buoy can be
hooked with grapnel and repaired.
This invention might be useful in cable
work.-New York Times.

said Vice-President Morton, of the

The influence of railroads in the de-

of the Oklahoma and Eastern railroad

kins was celebrated.
Even without any further increase
for the remaining six months OF the

TO BEAT RAILROADS.
Schemes Of the INDECENT And the
Pretended Door.

"We are suffering,' said CONNER
Girl Agent Hunt of the S. p, in COM
mon with all western roads from an
excessive abuse of the privilege of
transportation which we sometime
extend to the destitute.
I'VE are annoyed by schemes to
defraudus which are now being tried on
an extensive scale and which in q num-
Der of cases have proved successful.
Persons representing themselves to
be in distress have applied to the au-
thorities or charity organizations Of
Ell Paso for transportation to enable
them to reach their alleged homes.
When this has been furnished them
in some cases, to elude detection, they
have actually got on the trains and
paid their way to Isleta or beyond
when they have left the train and
returned to the city. They have then
sold the transportation 20 the brokers
or claimed its redemption from our
road. In number of cases redempt-
ion has been claimed for already used
bat uncollected transportation and for
trans por tstion the limits of which
have expired. We are are on the
lookout for all such devices to defraud
us.

A THING OF BEAUTY
The New Santa Fe Calendars Which
City Ticket Agent Morrison Has
At His Oifice-They Are For
Sale

Since this paper has given the Santa
Fee a bit OF free advertising in the mil
linery line, it is only fair to City Ticket
Agent Morrison to call attention to
something really attractive which he
ia selling for the road.
This is the now famous Aztec calen-
dar, which is issued by the Santa Fe
system. The present calendar includes
months from January to June, 1900.
The Santa Fe has such an elaborated
and extended scheme of advertising
by means of attractive pamphlets and
books and 1t gives away each year 80
many hundreds of them that one may
know.when 1t does charge for anything
of this kind, it is we'll worth the
price.
The calendar is series of large thick
cards, hung together in order on a
silk cord, and illuminated by large
portrait paintings of Indians of the
different tribes of New Mexico and
Arizona.
The productions are all from paint
ings by Burbank, and they are those
startingly real aud vivid colors which
seem to impart the essence of vitali-
page.
Many of the braves are depicted in
their war paint. and nothing could be
brighter, and more gorgeously bar
baric in color scheme while preserving
at the same time the most artistic
harmony of design than these brilliant
Indian pictures.
Even last year the Aztec calendar
designs won high approval from the
artistic world, and CHS year they have
advanced in merit.
The calendars are fine, and Mr.. Nor
rison is welcome to this free ad, with
the added hope that he sells all he
wants to sell. They are twentJ five

For the fun of it all, . little notice was
added, advising ladies to call and get
some bargains.
within an hour after the Office wss
opened" said Mr.. Houghton, "we had
twenty-five ladies in here. OF course
we had intended to sell this outfit in
bulk to some mill1ner here, but when
the ladies began to come and kept COM
ing, we had no other resource, and we
simply had to sell them what they
wanted. They have been coming ever
since. Brown aud 1 certainly shall

All day today the rush has contin-

in the window which read.
''GRAND MILLINERY SALE"
The Office is an odd mixture of vouch-
ers and aigrettes, way bills and ribbons,
and Mr.. Brown has his hair full of
feathers.
Honghton this morning sold big
bunch of red tape used in office bust
ness, by mistake, and Brown was busy
selling ostrich feathers at so much per
pound. He lost the invoice to the
goods, and found an easy way out of the
difficulty by looking up the rate sheet
and seeing how ostrich feathers were
classed. Then be found the rate per
hundred, and charged accordingly.
