THOMAS cooDE JONES.
Eminent A1abama Democrat Given . Seat on the Federal Bench by
 President Roosevelt.

Former Gov. Thomas Goode Jones of Alabama, whom President Roose- velt has just appointed United States district judge, is a distinguished dem- ocrat, with distinctly modern ideas of southern progress and southern political necessities. Descended from an illustriogs family of old Virginia,
 he is beyond dispute a conseryator of the south, while his free and ad- vanced opinions in the matter of ne- gro rights and promiscuous lynching place him in the veSy forefront of the newly awakened state builders of Dixie. Judge Jones was born in Ma

1.-THE GAMEKEEPER." !"

Smith O'Brien, the former we'll known star of .'The Ivy Leaf" will appear at Polls on Wednesday evening in "The Gamekeeper." The play is from the pen of Con T. Murphy, who wrote "The Ivy Leaf" "The Fairies Well' and other successful Irish plays, and is said to be splendid specimen of Irish drama. MT O'Brien is a cap ital actor, beautiful singer of Irish ballads and a dancer of ability, and the piece is staged with much com pleteness. One of the most beautiful stage settings is a scene showing the famous O'Neil castle of Dublin coun- ty. Ireland: another unique and grand old familiar scene is that of the his toric Dublin chapel. that is known to every Irishman of Dublin county. The sale of seats opens tomorrow at 9, 35 and 90 cents.

Revengefu1 Pigeons.

A remarkable story of the vengeance wrought by pigeons is told by paper at Zurich. writes our correspondent. Two pigeons built a nest in tree situ- ated in well-stocked garden of flow CTS and vegetables, and there raised a brood. of which they were very proud. The other day the old birds left the nest, and in their absence some one captured the young ones. On their return the hen was much upset at her loss. The cock, however, went and fetched about 50 other pigeons, which actually devastated the garden, the vegetables and flowers being de- stroyed in wholesale quantities.-Lcn- don Mail.

Frank l.. Perley's great musical or ganiZation will appear in its return production of 1.-The Chaperons" this evening at Polls and the interest shown in the event indicates large audience. When it was found possi- ble, owing to the delay in arranging for the New York production. to se- cure 'sThe Chaperons'' for return, the local management promptly acced- ed to the requests that had poured in from all sides and arranged for their return. The enthusiasm shown since the announcement was made proves how well the great success of the for mer engagement is remembered. In the cast still appear Digby Bell, Wal ter Jones. Joseph c. Miron, Ed Redway Eva Tanquay, Frances Wheeler, Marie Cahill, Louise Cunning, Mae Stebbins and the other stars who scored so heavily on the previous appearance of the company. and the same extraordin- ary chorus of more than sixty voices appears likewise.

As the great headline feature this week May Wentworth and her company of fine players appear in their well known farcical sketch, GA WOman's Dilemma" This sketch has been presented by these players a number of times on the Keith-Proctor- POli circuit. and it has never failed to win favor as a remarkable flln-maker. Miss Wentworth and her players pre- sent the comedy in excellent style and 1t will surely make a big sensation here Another star act is the English novelty imported by Mir Poli while he was in London last summer, the Ros- seaus, in unique acrobatic speciality.

WE CAN HAVE A FINE
LIBRARY IF WE WANT 1T.

Carnegie is pretty anxious to give
away a hundred million dollars. but he
has clearly enunciated his doctrine of
beneficence, which is to help those who
try to help themselves, and let the rest
go without until they learn the first
principles. The same is said of God
and the Capitalist. Both are inclined
to give help where there is an honest
effort being made to help ones self

ironmaster, retired. He knows that a

He figures out. and justly, that If he
puts up fifty thousand dollars for a
public library. the twenty thousand or
fifty thousand inhabitants of the town
ought to give a site worth few thous-
and dollars, and subscribe an average
OF ten to twenty-five cents a year, one
or two cents a month, toward the main
tenance of the institution. The de-
mand is not unreasonable.
1t is time, to the dot, for Ell Paso to
make the effort to get help from Car
ne2ie. But the terms upon which help
can be secured are as we'll known to
Americans as the music to God Save
the King. They are plain and immu-
table. If Ell Paso will provide a suit
a ble site and guarantee an income Of
not less than five thousand dollars
yearly for maintenance, Carnegie will
come up with fifty thousand dollars.
Everything has got to be done for

does not mean four thousand four
hundred promised with a thousand or

not mean a couple of city lots in a

property. 1t means block

WIDE OPEN GAMBLING
is VERY BAD BUSINESS.

There is a man in this city who
makes business of keeping track OF
PEOPLES private habits. The men and
women who ask and receive credit at
the various stores may not know that
the merchant is aware with whom they
trade, how promptly they pay their
bills. whether their habits are good,
what their income is, how they stand
with their employers and in the family
relation, and in general what their
status is in the community.
Yet such is the case. 1t is not so
very long ago that the merchants in
FL Paso, with very few exceptions,
were doing an unsafe credit business.
They were making no effort to keep
track of their customers, and they were
letting people run up bills that never
did intend to pay, and simply changed
their accounts from one store to an
other until they ran to the end of the
rope The result was that prosperity
did not seem as real to those merch-
ants as it did to the gambling joints,
for instance.
1t is different now. Since the merch-
ants began to realize that the credit
desk is one of the most important
branches of a business, and that by
standing together they could compel
the observance a higher code among
their customers, they have had better
success. They have way of inform
ing each other of the delinquencies of
bad paying customers, and the person
that habitually fails to meet his obi
cations is pretty soon known by name
in every store in town.
The amount of chronic bill-skipping
that goes on in Ell Paso is appalling.
The amount of bills on the books of
mercantile concerns in this city that
are put down as uncollectible runs up
into the hundreds of thousands, and
if to this amount is added the uncol-
1ectible bills of professional men the
total is a sad commentary on our mu-
nicipal righteousness.
How it affects our municipal right
eousness may not be apparent to all.
1t is the gambling. The credit men
who make a business of finding out
about your willingness and ability to
pay your bills have made a study of
the causes of delinquency, and have
tabulated the results of their investi-

cations Nfnety-six per cent of bad
bills are the direct result of gambling
on the part of heads of families and
unmarried men. Two per cent result
from drink. One per cent may be as
cribed to incompetency or illness; and
all other causes

The Herald has always held that the
gambling is not only curse to the
community. running in its present I'M
restricted form. but il is the greatest
curse. There is no other evil of the
cisy's life that is so disastrous TO real
prosperity. and so ruinous to morals.
The other vices hurt man physically
and lead eventually to total ruin. but
The gambling may be considered the
most terrible curse OF all. running mind
and character, and leading inevitably
to the ruin of body.
Yet we find merchants who are them

ing the wide open policy. alleging that
it keeps money in circulation" and
attracts trade from the outside" II
is hard to see how thinking men, with
the evidence on their own books of
the rottenness of the thing, can adopt
such an utterly indefensible attitude
As matter of fact, not only does every
honest man and woman in town have
to pay twenty-five per cent more for
things he buys and pays for. in order
that the merchants may make up their
losses on the gambling delinquents.
but every store keeper has to pay high

can afford to pay twice as much what

you any real good, Mr.. Merchant? Or

nothing, to make a living without

honor and manhood. their duty to wife

Today William Mckinley and Theo-
dore Roosevelt were inaugarated pres
andent and vice president of the United
States. The event is in many respects
a greater one than the coronation of
a king. and is almost as magnificent.
The days Of excessive simplicity are
gone by, and the Importance of cere-
mony in official functions is better rec
ognized than ever before. Just as SEN
timent underlies public opinion, so GER
emory underlies respect for order and
authority. and the simplicity" Of Old
Hickory that meant drunken sots ca
rousing in the east room of the white
house was nothing short OF disgusting
and degrading. Because we are Amer
lean and republican Tor democratic, as
you wish to use the terms), is not
to say that we have lost the love of
display and ceremony that is inherent
in the human kind.
