SOMETHING THE MATTER re- Il
.'q WITH THE POST OFFICE.

s Every train into Ell Paso was on time
Tuesday night. the last; one arriving
at z 20. but no mail was distributed in
the boxes until nearly 10 o'clock. This
is very inconvenient to the public and
great many patrons of the postoffics
expressed themselves in unmistakable
terms A crowd of people stood there
from about 8 o'clock until 10 waiting
and the force inside apparently quit
work. 1t might takeithis much time Ia
put up the mail but it would be a hard
task to convince the public of it, The
postOffice force does not seem to under
stand the necessity of putting up III,
mail early. They take hold Of the
work in a mechanical way as though
they had the whole night to do itdn
and leave the public to fret in front If
the window.
Postmaster Campbell explained yes
terday that the force had been instruct
ed to- put up all the letters and then
throw the papers. He acknowledged
that the mail should be up in! little
less than two hours after the trains are
in and why it was not done Thursday
night he does not know. He said he
had instructed the force to rush tn.
mail and asked to be in formed of any
delay. i'f - -"a'l1l 'fi-- -rN pos

bargain with the street railway was
that the city should receive $1,000 a
year rental for every mile of double
track and also should have a &C rtain
per cent of the profits of the street car
system, which share in the year 1900
amounted to the comfortable sum of

drawing up an agreement with the
company regulating the service given
to the public and the treatment of en-
ployes and is considering absorbing the
railway into town property as soon as
the charter runs out. Also public
opinion is clamoring that the city buy
the gas works and run them for the
good of the town. The English sue

public utilities better than the Amer
leans, or rather the American has been
too Indifferent to insist upon expert

mining men of the Great Southwest.
Also. this Carnival time will be sig
nalized by the presence here of the
finest mineral exhibit in the Great
Southwest, and the largest fine STOCK
exhibit that has ever been seen in the
Great Southwest.
At the meeting of the miners a mat
ter of the greatest moment to Ell Paso,
Mexico. and the Great Southwest gen
orally will be, brought up for discus
sion. namely, the proposed Great
Southwest international Industrial eI-
position, to be held here in the fall and
winter of 1902. 4E T1e
There Will be people here from all
over the country, and the world. 1t is
likely that not less than a thousand
people will attend the Carnival from
parts of the country other than The
Great Southwest and eastern Texas.
Altogether it is likely that not less
than ten thousand people will be here
especially for the great Carnival. -a'
One caution is perhaps necessary. it
is that every available room and bed
in the city will be necessary~in order
to get this vast crowd nnder roof. The
people have responded quite generous
ly to the requests of the committee for
registry, but in order that not a single
visitor may be obliged to suffer for
lack of accommodations it is urged
that every householder who can pos
sibly take one or more visitors during
Carnival week let the committee know,
stating preferences if any.
FL Paso stands ready to extend the
glad hand to every visitor who honors
this lively metropolis with his pres
ence next week.

ABOUT THE MAGNIF1s ser1 Cd
CENT MIDwINTER CAR -
NIVAL NEXT WEEK

Next week the great Midwinter
Carnival. Ell Paso stands together to
make the occasion one long to be re-
membered both by visitors and town
folk. Last summer in 'entertaini 1s
the great crowds that attended the
teachers convention. Ell Paso discov-
cred what it could do in this way. and
some very wholesome medicine was adj
ministered to the croakers who are al
ways afraid something will happen TO
interfere with the even languor of Their
fiabby way. Thus it happens that at
this time there is no sign of any flaw in
the perfect harmony among our people,
with regard to the preparations for the
coming Carnival. a.EF alt
While large number of citizens
have been actively engaged in COM
mittee work and making definite plans
for the entertainment of the coming
crowds, a much larger number have
been content to give their money liber-
ally toward the cause, into the hands
of the Carnival association. in which
body of men there has been exhibited
the utmost confidence;' then to stand
by and encourage the workers while
they devised the best means of spend
ing the money. The result has. been
that there has been no disposition at
any time to inquire of the Carnival
managers how the money was being
spent. the confidence of the people in
the managers having been demonstrat-i
ed in numerous ways.
In Ell Paso the situation is one that
must give thrills of pleasure to all cit
liens who have been working hard to
secure a larger measure of harmon
ious action among our people The corr
plete success Of the movement shows
what can be done by cooperation. and
never again ought the pull-back ele-
ment be allowed to gain even a tem-
porary ascendancy. This city is too
big and strong to allow itself to DE
ruled by flock of mud turtles. b-ul
2 So far as the promise for proper
entertainment of our visitors is con
cerned, never in the history of the
Great Southwest have such prepara-
tions been made as are now, on 7the
eve of fulflment. There has been no
stint in the matter of money. 81, There
has been plenty for every legitimate
purpose. And the plans have been
devised on a scale that would do cred
it to a city five times the size of this.
Nothing has been. left undone that
would add to the enjoyment of atlie
city's guests. There will be no disap-
pointment among them, and they will
leave our city with regret after the
splendid series of entertainments in
which they will have participated. 81 :.
In connection with the Carnival
there will be held two highly import
ant conventions-that of the Interstate
Medical association, and that of the

ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN
ef-5a NOW ON THIS MATTER

1t is known that President Mckinley
will come west in April or May by way
of the Southern Pacific. San Antonio,
Austin, New Orleans, Houston, Phoe-
nix. and other towns and cities have
offered the president formal invitations
to stop and visit Ell Paso has done
nothing. -. -.....
We have every reason for endeavor-
ing to impress the president and his
party with the immense Importance of
this section of the United States
There are both sentimental and bust
ness reasons why Ell Paso should make
a strenuous effort to get the president
to make this city and vicinity a visit
of sufficient duration to enable him to
get an idea of what Tie Great South
west stands for.
But unless action is taken at once
the presidents time will be taken up
that he will be forced to slight this
one. There should be no political
prejudice mixed up with this matter.
William Mckinley is president of the
United States of America. not merely
of a political party. Ell Paso will hon
or herself by making the most elab-
crate preparations for the reception
and entertainment of the president. |
And the one thing to do at once is
to see that a formal invitation is ex-
tended to him. by the proper author
tiles of the city and chamber of COM
herce. and other organized bodies.
1t would be a good plan for several
private citizens to supplement
these invitations by personal ones, so
as to impress the president with the
intense cordially of the invitation. 4
There is no time, to be lost. cs5

Denver has revived an old sensation
by the pardon of Alfred Packer. sent
enced to forty year penitentiary term
in 1888. Packer was found guilty OF
murder and to the horror of the crime
was added the fact that he ate the
flesh of his victim. Packers own story
is that he and five other prospectors
hundred miles from civilization. when
one of the men went insane and kill
ed four of the party. He then attacked
Packer. Packer in defending himself
killed the insane man. Being O.. in a
Starving condition he ate the victims
flesh. When he was tried he was also
accused of having murdered all of the
other prospectors. and the horrid de-
tails reused an intense. anger against
him. Packer after the terrible exper-
fences in the wilderness and his seven
teen years in the penitentiary has COM
pletely broken down in health and is
very feeble. For two years there has

DUN'S REVIEW,

New York. December FIR G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 If any evidence was needed of the un- paralleled prosperity with which this nation has been blessed during the past year, the expenditure for Christmas gifts and decorations should be ample Dis tribution of Christmas gifts among the employees of large firms and corporations was on the same scale, often the in crease over last year amounting to 100 per cent, while the profit sharing at the end of the year will reach unprecedented figures. It is noticed that Southern trade shows less satisfactory gains over last year than at other sections, which is not surprising as the principal pro- duct of the South has averaged from $s to $l0 bale less than year ago, while the quantity thus far marketed shows no commensurate increase Following closely upon the interruption by floods and storms last week transporting and manufacturing facilities were further handicapped by numerous accidents.
 Steel Mills Tied Up.
 Iron furnaces and steel mills were tied up and the movement of coke was ham pered. This resulted in insufficient SUD- plies of fuel that many stacks were banked at a time when full activity was especially desired. The situation as to coke is more critical than at any pre- vious time this season. Output in the Connellsville region has been at re- cord breaking price for a month or more but stocks accumulate at the ovens be- cause motive power and cars cannot be secured. Pig iron products is no longer at the high mark recorded when Decem- Der opened and with fancy prices for fuel 1t is natural that Bessemer should advance Coke producers report their full output sold up to the middle of next year and structural mills are in about the same position. A large Mexican rail order has been offered but may go to Eu- rope as domestic makers are unable to undertake any new deliveries for some time to come
 Business in wholesale dry goods has been interrupted by holiday influences and stock-taking among jobbers. Cot ton goods ruled quiet apart from the de- mand of converters, which was on a lib- eral scale Cottons are sold ahead for several months as a rule. and there is no urgency to make new contracts especial ly in view of the uncertain raw material market.

 High Price Level for Staples.
 A decidedly high price level has been maintained for the leading staples with option trading of good dimensions oe- spite the double holiday at the produce exchange. Wheat recovered most of the recent moderate decline supported by fairly steady demand Notwithstanding the high level of quotations as compared with earlier years exports for the week from all ports of the United States in- cluding flour amounted to 3,540972 bushels compared with 2,756.0l4 bushels year ago and 2.47.01S bushels two years ago. In- terior receipts were light and flour mills have been handicapped by the car short age which made 1t difficult to bring in raw material or take out the finished pro- ducts Corn continues about 50 per cent above the price year ago, which readi- ly explains Atlantic exports of only 313,- 25S bushels abainst 3319,255 last year. Su- gar became conspicuous through the ag- gressive cutting of quotations by compet- ing refiners. Raw grades declined slight ly on account of big crop estimates and other outside influences, but the fall in standard graduated was disproportionate- ly heavy and at the bottom point after deducting all rebates. no profit could be figured. Even at the lowest price buyers were slow to take advantage evident ly anticipating still more favorable terms.
 Failures for the week numbered 250 in the United States against 237 last year and 23 in Canada against IS last year.
