NEW MExIco,s POPULATION.
Comparatively Slow Growth of the Ter
 ritCry.

Washington, Feb. The census bull letin showing the population of New Mexico aells the story of slow grow ing, conservative community, in mark ed contrast to the quick growths all about It. New Mexico was quite nu- merously inhabited over 300 years ago by people within the ken of the present days and was inhabited over 1000 years ago by a people of whom we have lost all track except as they may be traced in the ruins Of their dwellings and their public institutions. In 1850 New Mex leo had over 51,0O0 population, and in 1900 less than 100000; good growth, 1t Is true, but very slow one compared to that of states>and territories touch- ing the boundary line of New Mexico.
 Fifty years ago New Mexico was or ganlzed as a territory, and has for half century been struggling for admis- sion as state. There is little doubt that statehood would have been grant ed had the population been American, but 1t was Spanish, and essentially for eign in customs and thought to the purpose and tendencies of the United States as a nation. Not very much pro- gress has been made in Americanizing the community, one of the principal reasons for this being that Spanish is retained as the language of the courts and of public procedure. The use of interpreters is not conducive to a change from a mother tongue.
 The largest city in New Mexico is Albuquerque. but its population. or rather its growth in population, is due 10 the building of railroads. The cen sus gives but 623S for this town, and then Santa Fe comes next with 5,6O3, loss of nearly 1000 in the past ten years. There is considerable irony in the fact that this old town gave the name to what is now one of the greak- est railroad systems in the country and IL has been left far to one side In strengthening the track of the trans continental highway.

PROVES TO BE RICH.
An Alleged Pauper's Brutality Uncov-
 CTS His Hoard of Gold.

The township in which Belleville, N. J.. is situated. has been supporting Clement Slawski for a number of years because he said he would starve if it did not This assistance enabled him to save many thousands of dollars and to stock his cellar with rich wares. The township did not find it out until the other day, and the relief allowance from the local authorities has come to sudden stop.
 Slawski was arrested for hitting his landlady, Mrs. Ellen Marshall, because she asked him for his rent. "Go to the township" he said, while punching her. "The township owes me a living"
 They took him before Justice La Fancherie. He said he was penniless, hopeless and wretehed and could not pay either fine or rent.
 There was a bundle in the fellows 8 pocket and the court made him pull it out. Twenty dollar gold pieces rained nn the floor. He was held in $500 bail, and put 1t up In cash.

THE KURD AND THE CAMERA.
How Mir. Mumford Got Some Photo
 graphs.

The seyyid-hackman and nothing more-exacted the difference due him all along the road. Once beside a deep, sluggish stream he came upon an en- campment of nomads, who had come down out of the mountain ranges to wash and shear their animals. They were hard at work. the boys holding down the sheep and goats. while their elders removed the fieeces. The women, to whom health lent a buxom kind of beauty, and who, after the manner of mountain women. were lax about the exposure of their faces, went about among the flocks. drawing milk into earthen vessels. As leaped across the stream, camera in hand, great cry of protest went up. and the chief of the outfit, bronZed, bearded and rahsy gentleman, who missed his proper place in the world by not being born in a place where he could play right guard on n princeton eleven. came run ming with half dozen of his retainers and a dozen Kurdish sheep dogs at his heels. He was roaring lustily and wav- ing his arms in mandate for me to get back to the other bank, and reaching for sort of bush hook that he carried to make his argument good. In the widest plunge of his onslaught he got sight of the scyyid's green belt. He stopped as if some thoughtful person had pulled an air brake on him, and began to kowtow.
 With wrath and reverence struggling in him, he asked the seyyid what sort ] of being I was, and what l was going to do to his people with that "bcx which had the evil eye in the end of it. It was explained to him. He looked at | 1t doubtingly. then whispered to tht | seyyld, "is 1t a sin?"
 No" said the lawgiver.
 The chief relaxed his hold of the snickersnee, and put his entire com pany, men. boys, sheep, goats and rosy checked women through their paces while the evil eye winked knowingly and often.-Harper's Weekly.

 Moose are gregarious animals, and that these two live thus alone. the younger one preferring the society of an old, blind bull to that of the herd, while the herd has dropped them both, is suggestive and interesting.

Appointment of Koester.

AS was naturally to be expected, the
appointment Of Mr.. G. r. Koester as
collector Of internal revenue, has STIR
red the politicians and newspapers to
just about the same extent that they
would have been stirred by any other
appointment; but it has occasioned con-
siderably more guessing than some
other appointments, that could have
been made, might have occasioned.
Mr.. Koester is a Democrat and has
for years been a close personal friend
of Senator MtLaurin. There Is no rea-
son to assume that the appointment
came through other than Senator Nc
Laurin's direct influence, and because
of this fact the old line Republican ell
ement is boiling with anger against the
president, while the anti-McLaurin
Democratic papers are insisting with
truth on what seems to them to be
the very important fact that Mr.. Koes-
ter cannot bring to the senator's sup
port O single vote that he did not al
ready have. Among the many sug-
gestions that have been made Is one
to the effect that Senator McLaurin is
providing for his friends before taking
a position in the cabinet, and still an
other holds that the circumstance is a
dead sure indication that Senator Nc
Laurin is to be at the head Of a white
Republican party in 1904. Many of the
published comments are interesting;
but taken altogether they would be
very confusing were it not for the fact
that most of them are to be consider
ed only as unfriendly guesses.
The political significance Of the ap-
pointment aside, there is no reason to
doubt that Mr.. Koester is thoroughly
competent to fill the position Of collect
or as we'll as it has ever been filled in
this state before, and his claims on the
office are about as good as are those of
any other citizen Of South Carolina
who could be named.

FOUGHT WITH THE CUBANS.

The following dispatch from Wash

interest:
THE identity Of the man who was
found dead in his room at the Broad
way Central hotel, New York, on Sat-
urday, supposed to be A. A. Mccain, a
United States army surgeon, was dis
closed today by w. S. Wright, Of SOS
Eleventh street northwest.
"The body in question Is that Of Ar
thur A. Mccain, who was surgeon in
the Cuban army, with the rank of ma
jor. His father was a minister of the
gospel. He was born in South Carroll
ma and was a veterinary surgeon. Nc
Cain separated from his wife several
years ago. He served in the Cuban
war until about the time of the out
break Of hostilities between the United
States and Spain, when he became in
terested in two Santo Domingo revolts
that failed. One expedition was brok-
en- up by General Brooke and Its men,
bers were arrested and kept In Jail for
three months in Baracos."

AT THE OIL MILL.

The Victor Cotton OIL people are
pushing work on their plant as rapidly
as possible, and although most Of the
machinery Is now here, it is quite evil
dent that 1t will be the latter part of
November before the mill Is in opera
ton.
That the oil mill will be quite an i'm
portant addition to the industries OF
Yorkville, when completed, is evident
and the evidence Is constantly becom
ing more striking. The company has
already turned loose a good many dol
lars in connection with the erection OF
its buildings, etc., and the wages 1t will
pay for labor in connection with it's (u-
ture operations will also be an import
ant item.
The most important advantage of
this plant to the community generally,
however, will be realized by the farm
ers who are close enough to haul seed,
hulls and meal to and from the mill In
wagons. While they will probably not
be able to get any larger cash prices
for their seed than heretofore, they
will be able to exchange seed for hulls
and meal on more advantageous terms,
and to buy these last named commod-
tiles cheaper than they have been buy
ing them.
The Victor Oil mill will have the Co.
pacity to crush "a tons of seed day at
the start. Everything Is being con-
structed, however, with view to doub-
ling the capacity next season should
it develop that the surrounding terri

Cain said yesterday that there are
some mistakes in the paragraph. I'm

porter, "Dr. Mccain was never mar
ried, and in the second place he was a
physician and surgeon and not vete-
rinary. He left Tampa, Fla, in March,
'9S, with Gen. Laciet's filibustering ex-
pedition to Cuba. He served in the
army of Gomez as a surgeon with the
rank Of major, was severely wounded,
and after the war practiced medicine
in Havana. He left Havana on &C
count of ill-health and accepted a po-
sition with an Ohio drug firm to travel
Central America, where he was when
we last heard from him about month
ago. I have no information as to his
probable death beyond what is stated
in the dispatch, and am hoping that
possibly there Is some mistake. My
brother was about IS years Of age"
