A COOL MILLION
Is What Gen. Dodge's Road Is To
Spend

In view of the recent visit to Ell
Paso of Gen. Dodge, president OF the
board of directors of the Colorado and
Southern, it is a matter OF interest
here that this institution has q coal
million in its inside pocket and Is pre-
pairing to scatter it. While this d1strl-
button Is primarily for its own better
ment, the expenditure will benefit the
community, and particularly help the
-laboriug man. The Colorado & South
ern railroad directors have Just eppro-
priated ST., 100, 900 to be spent during
The present year in improvements
Six hundred thousand of the amount
will be used for new equipment; $500, =
600 will be invested in new shops to be
erected in Denver; $50, 900 will be spent
on its yards in this city. The re-
mainder will be divided among mis-
cellaneous improvements. All OF 1t
will be turned back into circulation.
This is only one of the many big
things promised for Colorado In l9O0.
This is to be q year OF big things
These are million-dollar days, and
while thu ordinary citizen does not dg-
ure by millions when so many wealthy
individuals and great corporations are
handing out cash in such sums. each
one of us profits by such largess.

Western Presidents Glad That Com
missions Are Abolished.

Here is something more about the
commission question discussed In yes
terday's HERALD:
Presidents OF the western roads VINO
attended the meetings in New YORK
during the week are all back in Chios-
20. Without exception they are salts
6ed over the work accomplished dur
ing the conferences. Among other I'M
portant matters considered was that OF
the abolition of the payment OF COM
missions to ticket agents, brokers or
others for the sales of tickets, the FOL
lowing resolution in that connection
being adopted:
Resolved, That the railroads here
represented pledge each other that
on all tickets sold on or after February
], 1900, they will not under any circum-
stances pay any sort OF stipend or con-
sideration of any cha ~acter to ticket
agents, brokers or others for their IL
huence or as q commission on the sale
of tickets
In order to secure united and
harmonious action throughout the
west q committee of five was appoint
ed to enter with the executive officers
of all lines not represented at the
meeting and ask their cooperation In
the proposed plan. There seems 70 be
little doubt that when the time comes
the western lines will act favorably on
this question. The abolition OF COM
mission paying will mean thousands OF

ed what system would be used, Mr..
Brett said he had not decided upon
that IS yet: that he had any number of
patents which he could use, and that
any one of q number of companies
which he has organized in other cities
would be glad to put in the plant. he
said that the service would be the best
possible for the size of the town and
charges to be made for the telephones.
Mr.. Brett said that he had no doubt
that the citizens will take hold of the
matter promptly and that the new sys-
tenn will be put in. st cannot help
improving the SERVICE" he said.
''The Bell company has probably q
thousand patents which they are not
using. They could give service that,
compared with the present service in
this and other cities, would be alb
solutely perfect. But they do not do
it. They give only what they are
forced to give. When q competing
company enters the field they are
obliged to improve their service, and
competition ia bound to make the SER
vice of the rival company better. The
Bell company, however, canpot com
pete, In the long run, with company
composed of local business men. They
are bound to give it up in time, as they
have in some cities already"
Mr.. Brett was asked concerning the
charges that the company which he
is organizing is merely a blind COM
pany, working in connection with the
old company, to throw off competition.
He said: "We expect a fight to be
made on US. We are not afraid Of it
and are prepared to convince the city
council and every body that we are in
earnest, that we.mean to do everything
we say we will do and that we are pre-
pared to fulfill our agreements.
Gin regard to the charges of delay
which have been made against the
promoters of the new company Mr..
Brett said that there has been no uu-
necessary delay. The work of organ

Late yesterday afternoon Mr.. Brett
called upon Mayor Magof6n at the city
hall, and conferred with him as to the
of the ordinance submitted
at the last meeting of the council
Mayor Magoffin said ne was perfectly
willing that the ordinance should be
and q petition substituted.
He assured Mr.. Brett that before
franchise is granted the council re-
quires the company to pledge itself to
give Ell Paso as good and ss cheap
telephone service as any other
town or city in the west is enjoy

Mr.. Brett said he was perfectly will
ing that the city attorney should draw
up the franchise, and that he was
anxious to have the rights of both sides
to the agreement protected.

With black ink selling at five cents
or so bottle, it seems hardly worth
while for one to use home made ink,
but the trouble is that all black ink
is not black by any means. The fol-
lowing recipe, however, which, by the
way, is some 200 years old, tells you
how to make black ink that will not
fade, and which is dead black in hue.
Here is the recipe: One quart of rain
water filtered through ose-woven
cloth, three ounces of bruised galls,on
and one-half ounces of sulphate of iron
(green copperas), two and one-half
ounces of gum arabic. Coarsely pow
der the gals and put into bottle
with the other chemical; stir them
up and add the water. Securely. close
the bottle and place in the sunlight,
letting the bottle stand until the gum
arabic and copperas has dissolved, oc-
casionally stirring the contents to
bring this about. Shake the bottle
each day for a month or six weeks,
then add some twenty drops of car
bolic acid to prevent mold, and your
ink is ready for use.

Especial letter.

This is the picture of a royal couple
which really married for love, and an
old-fashioned love story it is. The
heroine is the Princess Maria OF
Greece and the hero is the Grand Duke
Michailowitch of Russia. The news of
their engagement and Immediately
succeeding wedding which has arrived
from Corfu surprised every one, for
the lovers were separated four years
ago by the decree Of the King OF
Greece, and 1t was supposed generally
that the love affair was ended then.
When they met first there had been
no thought on the part of themselves
or of their world that they would wed.
Alliances far different had been plan
ned for both. But they fell in love
with each other at sight, and the
Grand Dukes wooing began at once,
and was pressed so that before many
weeks he asked the King for the hand
of the Princess. The King of Greece,
remembering the tragic fate OF his
eldest daughter, who had been welded
to the Grand Duke Paul of Russia, re-
fused to give his sanction to the mar
riage. But the two were so unhappy
that at last he was prevailed on to
modify his position, and he announced
that they must promise not to see
each other for four years. If, after
that time, they still were in love, they
were to be married. Everybody, in
Guiding the king, thought that this
settled it, but both were constant, and
though neither said word from that
time on, both remained firm in their
determination. On the day that the
four years were up the Grand Duke
appeared in Athens and demanded the
fulfillment of the royal promise. Like
q king, the King of Greece yielded
with royal good will, and the couple
were engaged and welded directly af-
terward. The bridegroom's father,
the Grand Duke Michael, was the only
one besides the Greek royal family to
be present Instead of wedding with
a ring. two golden wreaths were used,

The story is of a Massachusetts, dog
and possibly the high intellectually OF
that state has something to do with it,
but whether or not you may determine
for yourself. 1t is related about a
bulldog owned by Arthur Shepard, a
we'll known clubman of Boston, who
owns, besides the bulldog, Danish
boar hound of large size and good
fighting qualities. The bulldog is con-
siderable OF fighter himself, but like
most bulldogs, If he can't get his under
hold he is likely to be licked. One
day Mr.. Shepard was out with the
bulldog and in the course of their
rambles the bulldog met a dog that
walloped him thoroughly. Mr.. Shep-
ard took him home in his cart, and fif-
teen minutes later when he went out
to see after him he was gone and with
him the boar hound, the dogs being ex-
cellent friends and companions. Moth
ing could be learned of the where
abouts of the dogs then, but in an
hour or so they both turned up and
looking as if they had had some active
business to attend to. Mr.. Shepard
