Pleasing Entertainment Last Night Mt
st. Elizaheth's Asylum.

The advent Of 1900 was observed at St
Elizabeth's Asylum last evening with a
New Year ball. This form of entertain
mcnt for the patients and employees Of the
asylum has heretofore been held whenever
possible the eve Of the new year, that
the passing of the old year and the ushering
in of the new one might be f1ttingly
marked. For obvious reasons, however, the
dance of 1900 occurred last evening.
The large han known as the new dining
room was the scene, and In the commodious
apartment was assembly numbering
about 500, the majority comprising, of
course, male and female inmates of the
asylum. Amid a lavish display of ever
greens gliStened numerous electric lights in
soft shades of red, white and blue. High
up, from every beam, hung the festoons CT
crowfoot and cedar, and entwined about che
pillars We're trimmings Of the same kind
The large lights of red and the smaller
clusters of red, white and blue glittered
among these and made the great hall lu-
minous and handsome, while the effect was
added to by q large American flag that
blazed in electricity at the rear Of the
apartment, its stripes Of alternate red and
and white bulbs and its delicate field of
blue and it's stars by others of the proper
shade
ST. EliZabeth's orchestra rendered the
music. The male inmates were assigned to
seats on one side and the women patients
on the opposite side of the hall. The dance
proceeded to a late hour, with mirth and
enjoyment to all, and there was an inter.
mission for refreshments.

How to Thread a Needle.

An ingenious lady has suggested an i'm
provement in the method Of holding a
needle for the purpose of threading it. 1t
is to be held between the third and little
fingers Of the left hand instead of by the
thumb and forefinger, palm uppermost.
The advantage of this is that the thumb
and first finger can be used to grip the
smallest end of the thread as soon as it
protrudes from tne eye a metnod prefer,
endeavoring to get hold of the end with
the right hand. This prevents the weight
of the cotton from dragging the end out of
the eye again.

ROUGH R. T.ROOSF-
VFLT'STALF OF WOE.

1t is not the custom of brave
men to howl about such proceed
ings as took place at Victor, Colo
RADIO, few days ago. There was
no politics in the manner of re-
ception rendered to Mr.. ROose-
welt, and political capital for the
abuse of Colorado democrats cam
not be deducted from it. There
was no violence attempted, the
extent of the affair being a de-
nial in emphatic words that Mr..
Roosevelt and his party are
friends to the laboring classes
Mr.. RoOsevelt's sincerity as an
apostle of the oppressed wage
earners is by them considered a
fake and they ridecule his efforts
to betray their confidence for the
purpose of securing their votes.
The same element who howl
about the peoples condemnation
of trusts and the iniquitous reign
of republican plutocracy, in case
Mckinley and Roosevelt are cleo
ted, will next demand the sup
preston of public opinion, and
will be in favor of denying or
abridging the freedom of speech,
the public press, and even of re-
ligious freedom. Mr.. Roosevelt
can publicly boast of shooting an
enemy at war in the back, but
when his criminal intrigues dis
guised like the benevolent wolf,
are introduced to the wage
Garner for the purpose of pulling
the wool over his eyes until after
the November election, are stamp
ed as villianous, he howls SLAM
der, and wishes to make capital
out of it for the purpose of
abasing the democratic party of
Colorado, which had as little to
do with the row at Victor as
President Mckinley.

ELECT COMPETENT
COMMISSIONERS.

Under the new law passed by
the New Mexico Legislature the
term of Office of county commits
sioners was changed, making the
selection of competent men doub-
ly important. The manner of
election, and the length of time,
is set forth in the acts of the last
legislature as follows:
That at the general election
of 1900 there shall be elected
three county commissioners in
each county of the Territory of
New Mexico. The commission
er from the first district shall be
elected for term of four years
from the first day of January
after the election. The commits
sioners from the second and third
districts shall be elected for a
term of two years from the first
day of January after their cleo
ton; and that at the general cleo
tion of 1902, there shall be elected
two county commissioners, one
from the second district for a
term of four years and one from
the third district for term of
two years, and that at the gen.
eral election of 1904, there shall
be two commissioners elected, one
from the third district for term
of four years and one from the
first district for term of two
years, and thereafter, at each
general election, one of the coun-
ty commissioners successively,
beginning with the county COM
missioner of the first commission
ers' district, shall be elected for a
period of four years"

The Dona Ana delegation to
the republican territorial conven-
tion were instructed to cast their
ballots for Pat f. Garrett for
nominee for delegate to congress.
Garrett made Lincoln an excel
lent sheriff some years ago, and
was elected by the democratic
party. AS candidate for dele
gate to congress, as the republi-
can nominee, he would neither
get the support of the republicans
nor the democrats of this county,
Both sides would doubt the
sincerity of his new departure.

OLD TIMERS OF
White OAKS.

Hewitt the Eagle has obtained
the following names of pioneers
of White Oaks, who settled here
in 1880, and who are yet in Lin
coin county:
JB Collier, E T Collier, NJ G
Paden, A Ridgeway, J r Brent,
VIM Waston, w c Mcdonald, |
Jas Woodland, VIM f Blanchard,
D NJ A Jewett, Jerry Hockradle,
Geo E Sigh, Ed B Homan, Jones

naugh.
Would it not be we'll to bring
all these old timers together here
and have a genuine old timers
reunion? Why not those of the
list who reside here organize an
old timers society and get up
some kind of a program that
would interest the veteran set
tiers who cast their fortunes here
twenty years'ago, and invite all re-
siding elsewhere in the county to
come and spend day or SO in
White Oaks, during which time
they could renew acquaintance
and review the history of the
country from 1880 up to the pres
ent.
The yarns they could spend
about pioneer days of Lincoln
county would make book of
historic humor. The EAGLE
would like to see these old timers
assemble at White Oaks, and is
certain that the town would
leave nothing undone to enter
tain them. Many of the fore
going list are we'll advanced in
years, and as time goes by, must
necessarily answer the last sum-
mons. Among them are Lincoln
county's best citizens and great
est benefactors and their names
will go down in New Mexico'S
history as such. The EAGLE
would be pleased to hear from
some or any number of those
whose names appear in this col
umn, concerning the question of
a reunion.

In Louisiana, If creditor finds that
his debtor intends to leave the state
and stay away he can, without further
bothering, get out an attachment and
seize whatever property the unfortun-
ate may have, says the Chicago Jour-
nal. A creditor, who was one of Col.
Proudfoot's clients, performed this op-
Grafton one morning and the debtor
was so hurt about 1t that he fell deal.
The debtors heirs went to law later
and claimed the property on the
grounds that the death made the seiz-
ure invalid. 1.-The law in this case,
gentlemen, is very clear" said the
colonel, when his chance came. sit
says that If a man is about to leave
the state permanently his property
may be seized. If our late lamented

Coughs and
Colds Are Catarrhal
Catarrh Is the Continual Scourge
of Christendom.
Diseases.

Catarrh hovers ominously over every
city, and nestles treacherously in
every hamlet 1t flies with vampire
wings from country to country and
casts black shadow Of despair over
all lands. Its stealthy approach and
its lingering stay makes 1t dread to
the physician and pest to the patient.
1t changes the merry laugh of child
hood to the wheezy breathing OF
Group, and the song Of the blushing
maiden to the hollow cough Of con-
sumption. In It's whitening grasp the
rounded form of the fond wife and
mother becomes gaunt and spectral,
and the healthy flush of manhood
turns to the sallow, haggard visags Of
the invalid.
Cough takes the place Of converse
ton, speech gives way to splitting, the
repulsive odors of chronic catarrh
poison the kiss Of the fondest lovers,
and thickened membranes bedim
sight, impair hearing and destroy
taste.

It is not until a Mexican girl has
attracted the attention of sutton that
she realizes that she is person OF
some Importance. The young man %
not bound by the conventionalltles
that surround his brother In the
states Without the formality OF an
introduction he dispatches letters
glowing with words of admiration and
devotion and nervously awaits re-
ply In the meantime he visits the
locality Of her home, hoping to eaten
sight OF the object Of his admiration
at the balcony or as she energies from
the house to attend church. He pa
tiently but persistently promenades
backward and forward in the street,
for custom forbids his entrance to the
house, and is happy II favored with
glance from her lustrous eyes. No
ridicule is strong enough to dampen
his ardor and no objections OF irate
parents sufficiently powerful to sub
due his passion.
Mexican lovers rarely meet, for even
II the young man is related to the
family of the young lady and has been
a caller at the home the mere fact Of
his paying attention to her puts Sc
we're restraint on his intercourse with
the family. After a time, If things
have progressed favorably, he is ad-
mitted as an accepted sutton and is re-
ceived by the girl, always accompanied
by her mother, who usually does all
the conversation. But love finds many
forms of expression, and stolen
glances, never suspected, speak vol,
umes for the lovers. AS the suit pro-
crosses many an evening passes with
the girl at the window or balcony and
her lover in the street below, wholly
oblivious Of the passerby or his naive
or caustic remark. The duration Of
the courtship depends upon the for
mality employed, the means at COM
mand of the parties and their age
Consent for marriage is demanded
from the parents of the girl by the
suitor's father, who is accompanied by
a priest, that the pledge may be made
the more binding.
