will undoubtedly be, if it is not al
ready. the great money center of the
world. Money. you know, is very
cheap in the east at the present time
cheaper than it has ever been before
in the history of the country.
THE American people are becoming
richer and richer every day and they
are constantly looking for new fields
for investment. Now where can they
go? Naturally to those sections that
are as yet undeveloped or in the pro-
cess of development, as for instance
this southwestern country And in
that connection l should say that your
city of Ell Paso will profit greatly 1
have not been here before but l am con-
siderably surprised at the size of the
city. the construction of it's public
buildings, and general air of enter
prise.
Il would like to take advantage of
the opportunity to say that during our
trip through Mexico we went over the
greater portion of their railroad sys-
managed than that of the Mexican
Central; l never saw a road that had
a finer road bed, and was particularly
pleased with the kindness and atten-
ton of its officials
In answer to the question as to
he was at all interested in oil
which have been made in
Texas and the country contiguous to
Ell Paso, Mr.. Rockefeller said:
, Not at all. AS 1 have said before
myself in any business mat
ters whatever. l am interested in Tex
as from one point of view, and that is
its cattle. l am president of the Amer
can Hereford Cattle association and
am much interested in that breed of
cattle. / have, l believe, one of the
largest and finest herds of Herefords
in the country. They are on my ranch
in Kansas. l have given a good deal
Of thought and study to that question
and the evolution of the Texas long
horn to the short horn cattle is very
to me-
The reporter called Mr.. Rockefeller's
attention to the statement that appear
ed in the Herald of Mexico City to the
effect that John D. Rockefeller contem-
plated the erection of a Baptist church
IN that city.
There is absolutely not a word of
truth. in that statement" replied Mr.. |
1T was conceived and originated |
wholly in the brain of the newspaper |
nan who wrote it. There is not the !
aintest intention of our doing any
such thing"
In reply to further questions Mr. |
said that he was only |
ware through the newspapers of the
arrival of George Gould and
'ther well known railroad men; that
lis stay here had nothing whatever to
10 with that fact, but was simply for
he purpose of rest. Mr.. Rockefeller
nd his family will leave for the Paci-
c coast tomorrow and do not expect
o return to New York until May or
une.

have a very painful pen knife wound
in his right wrist dressed.
The young man stated that he had
had little difficulty, but did not dis
close its nature. His wound was very
slight.

Girl Shot.

The most serious accident that has
occurred for several weeks happened
at o'clock at SOC South Campbell
street. where Miss Gaskey was shot in
the right hip by her brother-in-law a
young man named Gilmore. 1t seems
that Gilmore's pistol accidentally fell
to the floor and was discharged. The
bullet struck the young woman in the
nip tearing away small portion of the
flesh and infiicting a slight wound. The
girl was badly frightened but not ser
iousiy injured. Members of the family
are thankful that the wound was not
more serious as had the ball passed
fraction of an inch to the left the
girl would have bene badly crippled.

MAKING A GOOD START.
Some Hints Which, If Carried Out, will Room the Business of Re-
 tail Bicycle Houses.

Indications point to one of the most successful of seasons for bicycle mak- CTS and dealers, but upon the latter depends greatly whether or not pros poets are to be realized to their full est extent. In other words, dealers can very effectively aid themselves in making the season profitable, partic- ularly by starting the retail year in a proper manner. It is not enough that stores be filled with bright and att tractive displays when the first zephyrs of spring wait around the corners. It is essential, of course, that this condition be fulfilled, but in addition thereto there are a number of requirements to which dealers should give thorough attention.
 The spring opening is good idea. In cities where there are a number of dealers, all of them should unite on a single date for joint opening, which should be fully and enthusias- tically advertised, and on that date arrangements should be in force. for the suitable reception of those pros pectiye patrons who answer the inyi- tation to Hook in." We know of deal- CTS who advocate the individual open ing as against the joint opening, but it seems that selfishness prompts this argument. It is not a matter of pub lie moment when one dealer has an opening on his own hook, and an in- dividual opening cannot hope to att tract the attention and create the comment and interest that does uni versal opening. When all the dealers of a city hold open house on the same day, and their intentions have been promulgated broadcast, the af- fair cannot possibly fall short of sue cess, the crowds are bound to be large, and the benefit thereby accru- ing to the whole retail trade in the city is more substantial than can safely be estimated.
 But whether the opening be indi- vidual or general, the store should be clean and bright, neatly arranged and decorated as for gala occasion, and the floor force should be sufficient in strength to give attention to the queries of all callers. In short, there should prevail in the store an atmo- sphere of success and of life. It is an old saying that nothing succeeds like success" and no dealer can af- ford to overlook the fact that it is true saying. The public likes to deal with successful men, and it avoids unsuccessful men. In carrying out this requirement., each dealer can individually demonstrate whether or not he has life in him by the manner in which he takes advantage of the opportunities that are his to start successfully. There are thousand and one little things that he may do to help himself, and every dealer must decide for himself and act for himself in choosing the best among them.-Cleveland Cycling Gazette.

TO PRESERVE CUT FLOWERS.

Never place cut flowers in draught or in sunlight.
 In cutting the ends, snip them off at. right angles to the stalk.
 Do not allow the ends of the stems to rest on the bottom of the vase.
 Do not place flowers near or under lights-gas or lamp-when it can be avoided.
 Change the water each day. and at the same time again cut the ends ot the flower stems.
 The ends of the stems of all flowers should be cut off before they are placed in water. It is better to strip the leaves from that part of the stem which will be immersed.
 Maidenhair fern should be kept rolled up in moistened paper and on the ice, or, with the stems in the wa ter, in cool place, until ready for use. In this way it will last for some time.
 Mignonette is generally grown in ] cool house, and for this reason often droops when first placed in a heated room. It is we'll to put it in the ice box in water, for a time, when it will revive. harden" and, if properly cared for each day, last a long time.
 Many flowers do more satisfactorily if placed in water with the chill off until the stems have become filled, and are then allowed to stand in an ice chest, or very cool place, for time. Roses will occasionally revive if placed ill ice water-always with the ends of the stems previously cut.

with carefulness that is never shown the other seasons.
 For this class of gowns the girl who will reign supreme within few weeks more selects French fannels, serges, tweeds, hepherd-checked cloths, habit cloths and French cos tune cloths. And in the wash mate rials, which after all are really the im- portant ones for summer wear, there are linens, piques, zephyrs, cotton pongees, and a large variety of diag- onal scallops, striped or sprigged materials.
 These gowns are to be trimmed with strappings of self-material and white goods, wide or narrow braids, machine stitching, or coarse and heavy ecru or butter-colored lace, with numerous buttons and buckles. In fact the sum- mer girl of the new century promises to be decided change and improve ment over the summer girl that we knew last century so far as the elab- orateness of her gowns are concerned.
 Models of these outdoor costumes for summer wear are even now to be seen in all the better class of stores. Of those so shown yachting costume that depicts the style that promises to be popular is of dark blue serge trimmed with white serge and gold buttons The skirt is of the blue with a front panel of white which has a row of gold buttons directly down the front from the waist line to the hem.

each side of the blue in front and around the bottom of the skirt. It has slightly full blouse of the blue, with deep sailor collar bordered with the white. The blouse also has strappings of white at each side of a white vest, and gold buttons to finish. There is a chemisette of white pique, with small high vest of the same. The sleeves are of blue to just below the elbow, with white straps crosswise. A full under sleeve of the white pique..
 A fascinating and striking costume that may be used for tennis, yachting or other outdoor wear is of shep- herd-checked cloth in a vivid red with each seam stitched four times with black silk. The jacket comes just to the waist line, and has collar and pointed reyers of red silkstitched with black. It has a plain coat sleeve with

Spring and Summer Seasons
 to Be Cor r8eous in Colors

to De Gorgeous in Colors COLOR, brilliant color, is the key M note of the spring and summer
 seasons that are now upon us. Not only color, but flowers of the, most brilliant hues are the fashion. Flowers in gowns, hats, parasols ,and every other accessory. This new de mand for colors and flowers has even offset to some extent the. craze, for gold and silver, though both of these will be with us throughout the sea son.
 The color schemes for the summer season will be practically imitless, and, above all else, wonderful: Color combina ations will be seen which have never before been considered pos sible, and yet this year they promise to be not only stylish, but delightful ly appropriate.
 It is not so much the multiplicity of colors to be used in one garment as the striking contrasts that will be seen. Some of the new model gowns for summer are all of one color with the exception of the now fashionable undersleeve, which is of a brilliant and unheard of contrast in flaming tint that a year ago we would have said would not do at all. But both times and ideas change, and the greatest change of the present time is the stylish possibility of these strange contrasts.
 This all comes of striving for nov city, in which the manufacturers say

HAyERLY,s AlINsTRELs.

The advent of Hayerly'S Mastodon AIinsrels this evening at Polls will recall pleasant memories of by-gone days when minStrelsy was something more than vaudeville sketches, trapeZe performing and singing. The names of Haverly and George Wilson bring back 10 mind the good old days of the genuine black-faced hilarious, har- monious minstrel show. Both are re- markable figures in the minstrel world.as Hayerly. like all men of un- dau6ted ambition, has had his ups and downs In his costly enterprises he nas made and lost several fortunes, and now this season that again he seems to be on the topmost rung of the ladder of success, the admirers of his persistency and courage will feel only pleasure. Wilson since the we'll remembered triumphs of that famous combination of talent, Barlow, Will son, Primrose and West, has been the most conspicuous figure among min- strel performers. He was a star near ly two decades ago, and while others less progressive have dropped into the unfathomable ocean of obScurity, a star with undimmed lustre he re- mains. By his refinement of method his wholesome humor and his natur- ally artistic temperament, he has done more than any of his contemporaries to elevate the standard of minstrelsy and to place it on an equality with other branches of the amusement pro- fession- To-day. with his extempora- neous humor, his quick witted repar fee, and above all his wealth of ex- perIence, he is deServedly the highest salaried of the bIack-faced delineators. But Haver1y brings with him to this f,f- {h<. dian whose name is so familiar. Among the assistant mirth promoters are Dan Altman. Dan Waldron. Ed die AIosher, Conley, Baker, Teal, Mar tIn- Morton and several others. In the olio are some real minstrel specialties as well as Garden and Hunt. novelty musical artists, and the original Big Four Prices are 20, 8, 50 and 75 cents.
