A CONFESSION OF TAMMANY'S GUILT.

placing our claims before the people and thus were
manfestly indispensable.
The fight is lost. The verdict OF the people Is
nothing more than warning to the Democracy
OF the metropolis II Is not a rebuke. The small
plurality by which the opposition succeeded In a
contest engaged in by hundreds of thousands is to
the Democratic party merely what the school,
masters admonition is to his pupil. If We erred In
the past. the punishment has been meted out to
and the incident is closed.
Let the story of November s. 1901. point the way
to Democratic victory in 1902 Let the defeat OF
yesterday inspire us to victory tomorrow. Let
the weakness of the past serve the motive for
renewed vigor, energy and strength in the future.

criticism and condemnation. None would expect

AN INTERESTING CASE RE-
CALLED BY A LETTET
John Sellman Writes From the Phil
ippines, Where He Has Just Recov
cred From a Wound.

S. l.. Pierce has received a letter
from John Sellman. an Ell Paso boy
who is in the army in the Philippines
stating that he has about recovered
from a severe wound received in SER
vice there some time ago.
John Sellman, it will be remembered
is the young man who was once stolen
from the Juarez Jail by Lew Gasser. a
plumber who was then working in Ell
PasQ. Sellman went over to Juarez one
afternoon and got into a little trouble
with some MeXicans. He was thrown
in Jail and Lew, his best friend, heard
of it, Gasser was intoxicated aud
wanted a little excitement and adven-
ture so went to Juarez to try his hand.
He climbed upon the wall of the Jail
and let a rope down to Sellman who
chung to the rope and was pulled over
the wall.
Just as the men reached the ground
the soldiers saw them and fired vol
ley. They missed the mark, however,
and Gasser and his friend escaped to
the river and crossed into Ell Paso.
Sellman then enlisted in the Unite 1
States army and was not heard from
again until few weeks ago when be
wrote Mr.. Pierce that he had been
wounded. 1.-The story of Gasser's par
don by Governor Ahumada was an
unusual thing" said Mr.. Pierce to a
Herald reporter. The Mexican officers
tried in every way to arrest him but
failed as he kept close on this side.
Two years ago the governor wanted
to have the state capitol in Chihua-
hua plumbed and wanted a first class
man to do it. He wrote to FL Paso to
the same plumbing firm and received
the reply that only one man here coull
do the work and he could not go to
Mexico as he was wanted for rafding
the Jail. The governor replied that il
Gasser would come and do the work Ii :
would issue his pardon without trial.
Gasser accepted the offer and can now
go to any part of Mexico"

w S. WHEELER MAY BE
MADE HUMANE OFFICER
For Service During the Carnival. to AS
sist Any Who Are in Need of Help

For Service During the Carnival. to As
sist Any Who Are in Need of Help.
w. S. Wheeler. the street mission
airy. has returned from his trip into
New Mexico. The change of climate
gave him a touch of la grippe and in
capacitated him from work. He is
again making talks on the streets of
Ell Paso, however, and this morning
unfortunate people lodged within our
gates. He wants to organize sort of
volunteer army of good Samaritans
who will visit the hotels and lodging
houses during the Carnival and in
quire after the visitors to see if there
are any who need assistance.
He speaks truthfully when he says
that there will be people here that hav-
ing come from lower climates will take
cold and among them may be some
poor unfortunate individuals who have
not the means to secure medical at
tention and consequently suffer a long
spell of sickness and perhaps death
when they could be saved by the good
Samaritans notifying the authorities
of their presence.
There has been some talk of the
Carnival association giving him spe
cial appointment to look after cases of
the above class and to be sort of gen.
eral humane officer with authority to
put a stop to any case of cruelty, liz
humanity or any misdeeds that natur-
ally come under his Jurisdiction in his
present capacity as street missionary.
1t would be the very thing to do. lie
will naturally look after all such cases,
but with the proper authority he could
handle the cases to better advantage
and be useful adjunct to the arms
of the law. Let it be said when the
Carnival is over that FL Paso pro-
tected her visitors from all crime and
suffering while in ner care.

A HARSH CARTOON IN
.....-.. A MEXICO PAPER
Directed Against Governor Ahumada
With Reference to the New Govern
ment Theater.

Onofroff. the leading illustrated pa
per of Mexico City, is out with a car
toon on Governor Ahumada and his
big theater at Chihuahua. 1t has a
row of ants carrying material from
the railroad track to the theater build
ing, another row carrying material
from the building to the new residence
of the governor. and two rows going
up to the state treasury to get paid
Governor Ahumada is building a
fine stone mansion to be his personal
property and Onofroff figures it out
that the governor is using the material
bought for the theater to build his
house. The house is a three-story,
solid stone structure built on American
architecture and when completed
would be a credit to Washington
The theater and the governors man
sion are the only two thoroughly
modern buildings in that city and any
American city would be justly proud
of either.

IS SUSTAINED IN THE MAT
TER OF CANDLE POWER.
The City Electrician Will Report That
the Lights Are of 1000 Candle Power
AS Ordered
AS Ordered

The city electrician, Mr.. Peticolas
report on the arc lamps furnished the
city by the new company over the can
die power of which controversy
arose.
ner is chairman, seemed to doubt that
the lights were according to contract
and recommended that the city hold
back the money due the company for
them until the lamps had been tested
After an earnest talk for the COM
pany by ]. P. Dieter the council con-
sented to pay over a part of the money
due the corporation.
City Electrician Peticolas has COM
pleted his task and will submit a
lengthy written report tonight.
He will recommend that the full
amount Que the company be paid as
the candle power of the lamps accord
ing to every known test, is in accor-
dance with the requirements of the
contract.
The lamps after a thorough test have
been found to be 1000 candle power.
This is regarded as a signal victory
for the new company, which seemed to
feel that it was being harassed and
having unnecessary obstacles thrown
its way for the benefit of its defeated
competitor.

A SCHOOL BOY PAINFULLY
HURT BY A FALL.
He Was Not Killed. AS Stated, and Is
About the Streets Today.

The report published in the morn
ing Times about a school boy being
killed yesterday was found upon in
vestigation to be without foundation.
The lad, James Cazares, did fall
from his bicycle yesterday but receiv
ed no serious injury. His face was
bruised on one side by coming in con-
tact with the hard ground, and his
lip was cut by the blow.
DR.. S. T. Turner dressed the wound
and told the boy to call at his Office
this morning for further treatment.
The lad was on hand at the appointed
hour and seemed to be suffering no
serious inconvenience from his slight
injuries.
The accident occurred on the play
ground during recess. The boys head
did not strike the pedal of his wheel
as alleged by the morning paper, and
there was no hole cut in his skull. He
was not rendered unconscious.
The parents of the boy are inGig-
nant that such an unfounded report
should have been published without
proper Investigation.

Chief Architect King, who is build
| ing the new theater at chihuahua,
states that the building will be ready
for use by the early summer.
This building is one of the largest
and decidedly the finest in the republic
of Mexico. There is not a building of
the kind in the United States that will
compare with it in the point of seat
ing capacity or stage room.
The stage hold 5000 people. giving
every one sixteen inches square. The
main auditorium seats $4,000 people,
which is decidedly more than the en-
tire population of the city. 1t is own
ed by the state and is another of the
many contrasts in Mexico. The builI-
ing stands in front of the state capitol
and the latter looks like a carriage
house compared with the theater. The
building cost something like one mil
lion dollars and would be a credit to
New York or Paris. The scenery was
made in Chicago and it is furnished
throughout with. foreign material.

Honors

Thirty fine bulls have been received
at the arena in Juarez for the Carnival
bull fights. They were selected on the
ranches by Antonio Arana, the Span

for the Carnival weew.
Antonio was a pupil of the famous
Mazantini. one of the greatest bull

er seen here are expected. Chatillo, a
new matador, arrived in Juarez yester-
day and will contest with Colorin next
Sunday for the honor of being Anto-
