WILL HAVE OLD AND new SALE
Homeopathic Hospital Managers Preparing
fer an Interesting Event

The Homeopathic Hospital managers
have decided to have their "Old and New
Sale" from Saturday, October to Sat
urday, October y. This early notice will
enable the great mass of friends of the
hospital TO collect the many articles
which they will doubtless be glad TO do
nate for the sale. People are back from
the seashore and mountains and * is
house-cleaning time preparatory to resum-
ing the activities of the winter season.
In the renovation which accompanies
this season numerous articles of furniture
and clothing are found to be in the way
and the storeroom or cellar ofttimes be-
comes their destination. Odds and ends
of hats and trimmings which have ac-
cumulated in some closet, bric-a-brac long
since discarded, shoes, too much worn to
wear, and'tOo good to throw away; such
things are the despair of many a house
keeper.
This is the juncture which marks the
entrance upon the scene of the managers
of the Homeopathic Hospital with their
proposition to remove all such material
and to make it part of the stock at their
sale of the Old and the New" A tele-
phone message to the hospital, or a postal
card addressed to the Transportation
Committee at the hospital will bring to
the sender a vehicle to carry away what
ever things are contributed. As a matter
of convenience. the committee would pre-
fer not to receive donations until within
u week or so of the sale, but in case any
one wishes to get rid of saleable articles
sooner than that time, the managers will
see that they are removed and held for
the sale.
The managers would be glad to receive
donations from every part Of the city and
will, as already stated. send for donations
upon being notified. Each department is
to be in charge of a manager.
In addition to the suggestions already
made, it has been suggested that mer-
chants have articles which they have
found it almost impossible TO SELL and
that by giving such articles for the sale.
they help a worthy object and give their
active business more room. Groceries and
dry goods are among the things which
viii be received as donations. Old iron.
rubber and gas fixtures are articles which
might not suggest themselves to house
holder, and yet which will be accepted
for this sale.
Already the managers have some stock
which is to go into the salesrOom. As
they announced the sale some months
since, good notice has been given, and il
is hoped that it will receive a good re-
spOnse.
The money which may be made is to
be for the benefit of the hospital, which
like most institutions of its character, is
generally in need of funds. Last year
the patients numbered 315 an excess of
1870 over the previous year, Indicating a
great growth in the work. With such an
object, the managers solicit the aid of the
citizens of Wilmington in achieving a
success at their sale.

NEWSPAPER OPINION
Where Duty lies

From the Nashville American.
Discussing the lynching question, the
Columbia Is. CO. State says: THE
newspapers of the South are certainly
doing their duty. Fifteen years ago It
was the exception TO disapprove lynch
ing, for the special crime and strong
denunsiation OF the practice was sell
dom heard from the press Now II is
quite different There is hardly any
newspaper of consequence in the South
that now condones mob violence on
any provOcation. while the great ma
pority OF them unhesitatingly condemn
and denounce lynchings even when
they occur in the newspapers immedi-
ate locality. The influence of the press
Is Enthusiastically against the practice
and if that influence is of any cOnse
quence there is certainly a basis fol
hoping that public sentiment will take
that direction"
There is not, 50 far as we have seen
newspaper OF character or conse
quence In all the South which does no
boldly and vigorously condemn th
mob spirit. No newspaper with intel
ligen comprehension OF the evil and IL
consequences can fail TO do otherwise
The newspaper which fails to do II
duty in this matter is either Athlete
with cowardice. for which there is n
cause, unless Il be an inherent an
characteristic weakness, or with an in
capacity to see clearly what the un
checked mob spirit must mean. A
wise and health sentiment is oppose
TO the mob spirit.

A Great Invention
rom the Atchlson Globe.

From the Atchison Globe.
An Atchison woman has a habit of
eating too much, and she invented a
method of knowing when she had
had enough. and will have her discov-
cry patented. An ingeniously made
little alarm bell is made in her corset,
and when the pressure ON the corset
from eating amounts 10 so many
pounds to the square inch the alarm is
set of and the woman must quit
Sometimes she is in themidst Of juic,
steak. .or she may be just tasting a dc
licious dish OF ice cream, or she MAJ
have just reached her coffee, when thu
pressure sets the alarm on, but sh'
then quits. When visitors are at Oh
house the alarm startles them at littl
at first, but they soon get used TO tn
gong. The inventor says the alarm
has been OF more benefit to her than
score of doctors.

ASSASSINATION

Inc President is 6hol! NO uecu SihNc
Judas betrayed his Master with kiss
can compare with this atrocity.
The assassin stepped forward in
company with others to shake the
Presidents hand. by that act evincing
a kindly spirit. when with his right
hand clasped in the Presidents own,
with his left he shot him twice.
The human fend this devil incar-
nate then fed. but fortunately he was
captured. and is now awaiting the ac-
ton Of the law.
There is little to be said, before
such depravity, such perversity normal
human nature stands aghast Is 1t
possible that human nature can be-
come so degenerate? Is it conceivable
that such action was inspired by some
distorted sense Of Justice?
II is fortunate that the assassin did
not meet with summary violence. It is
fortunate that he was given over TO the
custody of the law.
On every lip there was cry for ven
geance, there was no thought OF party
affiliations. From Democrats and Re
publicans; from supporters OF the ad-
ministmtion and ant-imperialists
there was but one cry: Tear him TO
piecosl"
But it was but the frenzled cry OF
humanity outraged and betrayed. The
distinguished sufrerer would not have
Il so. Could his voice be heard, 1t
would not have it so. Could hisglt n
would sounsel peace. He would ask
the people whom he has so faithfully
served 70 deal with his assaiiant by tn,
recognized agencies of the law.
The crime is more than an attack
upon an individual; It is aimed at set
ting at defiance the will of a majority
of the people. Yea, II is in defiance oI

NORTHERN COLPAX COUNTY MINES
Over 100000 Invested This Year in
Mines at and Around Elizabethtown.

Special Correspondence New Mexican
Elizabethtown, October 8, 1901.-The
| first snow of the season fell on Sunday.
The work on the mines in the camp is
progressing nicely
On the McGinty group the electric
drill recently placed has proved insuffi-
cient to cut the hard rock encountered
and an air plant will be erected.
On the Denver group sufficient ore
placing of mill on the property. This
the company will do Immediately.
Samples of the ore have been shipped
to Denver to determine upon the best
method of treating the ore.
On the east slope Of Mt. Baldy ac-
tive work is being done by the Thelma
and Wheeler companies.
The new dredge recently put in by
the Ora Dredge company Of Chicago,
is a great success. 1t is run night and
day and it's manager declares it to be
the best dredge proposition in the
United States. The gold is abundant
and it is not unreasonable to assert
that it will pay to dredge Moreno creek
from the mouth of the canon below
Elizabethtown to two miles above, ten
miles in all. This company will con-
struct more dredges next spring.
The Baldy tunnel being run into
Baldy mountain by the Gold and Cop
per Deep Tunnel company, is in about
500 feet; and the work is progressing
with two shifts. This tunnel will gain
great depth, In fact the greatest in
the camp, and will reach the mineral
riches in the heart of Badly mountain.
In all. the outlook for Elizabethtown
was never better. About 100000 have
been invested this year and the coming
season will see still more new capital.
The systematic work now going on Is
proving that the mineral wealth Is In
the camp and all that is required is
development.
