Slightly EmharraSsed.

The Coquille Bulletin last week said the father of a IF year old young lady, in that place, told the editor a funny story about young man who stopped at his home one night lately. The young man called on his daugh- ter to spend the evening, and when he got ready to leave he realized that a heavy rain storm was raging. He had no umbrella or rubber coat and when the girls father asked him to remain at the house he readily con- sented. He is very bashfdl young man, and next morning when he was invited to a seat at the table very re- luctantly accepted. He was very nervous and agitated. He sat oppo- site mirror and saw that he had for gotten to comb his hair; then he dropped his fork on the floor and as he stopped to pick it up he upset his coffee. Matters went from bad to worse until finally in despair the young man quit eating and put his hands under the table. The loose folds of the table cloth were lying in his lap, and when he touched it he turned pale. He thought it was his shirt and in his nervous excite ment while dressing had forgotten to put the garment inside of his trousers. That accounted for the smiles and his embarrassment. There was no time to lose. He hurriedly stuffed the supposed shirt inside his trousers. Two minutes later when the family arose from the table there was a crash. The dishes lay in a broken mass on the floor; the young man pulled two feet of table cloth out of his trousers and fled through the door. He is yet in the backwoods of his home near here. The young lady he called on is open for engagement to a less nervous young man.

THE PRESIDENT SOCIALLY.
No Other Ever Enjoyed One Privilege
 Mir. Roosevelt Has.

We have never had president like
 Roosevelt before. This is said often and is true in several respects. It is especially true socially. He knows so many people in otherthan politi- cal way. There is almost no part of the country where he cannot go and find friends other than political ones. If he goes on hunting expedition in the far west he finds college mates to entertain him. If he comes to Far mington he finds relatives. If he stops at New Haven he falls into a group which includes a Rough Rider or two. When he comes over to New York he puts up with his own people, and after dinner goes to the Century club and spends an evening as any member might.
 What other president have we had who was at home everywhere in such associations as these7 Mir. Mckinley as a result of a public experience of twenty-five years, knew men In all parts of the country, but they were mostly politicians and statesmen. fine went anywhere he was entertained with more or less state stiffness and had little of the freedom of the pri- vate citizen. There is no president We have ever had who everywhere could find the hospitality which is extended to the man and not the pre- who, therefore, could enjoy more or less social privacy and could conceal himself from exposure to which president is subjected as Pre- sident Roosevelt can.-Waterbury (Ct) American.

Case of All Around Negligence.

The coroner's jury has found that the collision on the Wabash road near Seneca, Michigan, was caused by the negligence of the Wabash rail road company and the trainmen of train No f.
 The verdict says the railroad com pany was negligent in failing to provide train No 1 with a head-end brakeman and in failing to provide proper signals at the place of meet ing of trains f and 13. Engineer Aaron Strong was found negligent in failing properly to understand and obey order No. S2, under which the trains were running. Conductor J. w. Martin was found negligent in failing to signal the engineer to stop and in failing to apply the air brakes when the engineer did not give the proper signal immediately after pass ing the station at Seneca, according to the company's rules. Fireman Bastien was found negligent in fail ing to remind the engineer of his point at Seneca.

Car Nearly Ruined.

"When it rains, it pours." and the Santa Fe Pacific is no exception to the rule. When No. s pulled into this station Thursday evening and just as it stopped in front of the Har- vey house, an explosion occurred with a report that brought the populace hurrying to the depot. The cause of the excitement was the explosion of an acetylene tank in the chair car, and before any one realized what had happened the flames burst from the side of the car.
 The remainder of the train was de- tached and pulled back to safe dis tance and water quickly turned upon the flames, but as the water quickly came in contact with the carbide this only added fuel to the fire. The switch engine was brought around and with it's fire apparatus the flames were finally extinguished, but not un- til the entire west section of the car was ruined. The car is one of the new modelled chair coaches and will cost snug sum of money to repair. It was directly in front of the Harvey house and had the fire not been in stantly checked the entire town might have been burned.-Needles Eye.

WILL NOT BE REMOVED.
Governor Murphy Will Be Permitted to
 Serve Out His Term.

A telegram in the Phenix Republi- can from Washington says:
 1'he fight for the removal of Gov ernor Murphy is confined to his per sonal enemies in Arizona. There is no echo of it in Washington. No charges have been filed and it is the intention of the administration to have him serve out his term.
 Governor Murphy's commission is dated to expire Dec. l4, 1902. This commission is held to be an original appointment and has nothing to do with previous commissions or the term of office of the men who held them.
 The recent fight against Governor Murphy is looked upon by the gov ernment officials here as closed in cident, only to be revived in the case of future development. As the gov ernor does not desire reappointment the president will find some other man and Col. Brodie probably stands the best chance at the end of Mur- phys term, though the matter is far from being definitely disposed of.
 Commenting on the above tele- gram, the Republican adds:
 4 few days ago several of the democratic papers of the territory in concert repeated the story which was originated some time ago, to the effect that Governor Murphys successor had been selected, that q 'bushel basket full of charges" had been flied against the governor, and that tine new appointment would soon be made, etc. The Los Angeles Times also had a special telegram from Washington which stated that the governors successor had been named, and the Times correspondent volun- teered lot of statements about Ari- zona politics which betrayed his ig- norance of the situation as well as the fact that the dispatch was inspired by Arizona politicians with axes badly in need of grinding. The foregoing dis patch to the Republican should set at rest any doubts that the people of the territory may have concerning the governorship. The author of the dis patch is Mir. J. D. Whelpley, the famous Washington correspondent, whose integrity and reliability put the seal of truth upon everything he writes. No correspondent at the cap ital is on a better footing with the ad- ministration and few have such excel lent opportunities for ascertaining facts from the inside" He has the confidence of the highest officials in the government, because of his re- spectability and his well earned repu- tation for always telling the truth.

Why He Was Late.

The regular edition of the Wise News, country weekly newspaper published at Wise, Va, came out re- gently three days late. The editor gave the following reasons in expla- nation:
 First-We went to Big Stone Gap and sacrificed fifty cents to hear Sam Jones ''cuss" the world and dance a jig on its coffin.
 Second-TD rest from that tired feeling which the Jones harangue brought upon Us, We went bird hunt ing on Wednesday and got bored again.
 Third-We attended speaking at the court house Thursday, and heard Colonel Slemp translate little wee Greek into North American English, and we've been like thecOws tail ever since behin1.
 We are now free to confess that Sam Jones on morality, bird hunting on foot and Colonel Slemp on deciph- ering Greek is enough to clog the wheels of the universe, much moge those of a country ncwspa per.-Ex.

Increase In DiVorceS.

The report of the state register of vital statistics just issued shows that the number of divorces granted by the Maine courts has grown from 552 in 1892 to 790 for the last year, an in- crease of 43.1l per cent. In nearly two-thirds of the cases the basis of the suit is given as either cruel an6 abusive treatment or desertion. It is declared that the charges of desertion are made in many instances with the collision of both parties to the suit, and the same is true of the allega- tions of cruel and abusive treatment.
 The laws of the state are very liberal in the matter of diyorces, and apparently their interpretation by the courts is gradually growing more ad- vantageous to persons seeking free dom from matrimonial ties upon trivial grounds. The statistics for the last year show that only seventy one suits were successful in which adultery was charged. In this num- Der the husband was the libellant forty-six times and the wife twenty five times. Out of the whole number of divorces granted the wife was the libellant 579 times and the husband only 211 times.
 Complaintsalleging extreme cruelty numbered only four and in each in stance the complainant was a woman. This charge is set up only when it is possible to prove personal violence, blows upon the body and actual in- jury. Intoxication was alleged in ninety-four suits, out of which only five were brought against wives.
 For some time the growth in the number of divorces has been appar ent and the legislature has been ask ed to make the divorce laws more stringent. According to lawyers the divorce laws of Maine are as liberal as those of any state in the union, with one or two exceptions.-New York Sun.

Blood on the hoon.

With the mysterious and ghastly murder of three human beings at Downey, three weeks ago, carnival of blood was begun that has not yet come to an end. Periods of unusual criminal activity, especially those of a sanguinary sort, have appeared to follow with regularity that is the more noticeable because of the prev ious lull in the local records of sui cides and murders.
 There was a continuation of tragic events yesterday when John Samp- son brutally murdered his wife at Fourth and Spring streets by shoot ing her in the back as she was walk ing on the streets.
 At Pomona Fred Holt was shot, perhaps fatally, by an unknown tramp.
 Alexander Williamson attempted to take his life by shooting himself and F. A. M. McCurdy succeeded in ending his life with a shot from re- volver.
 William E. Bonnet, at Buena Park, killed himself with rife, the news of the suicide having reached the city last night.-L. A. Express.

NEW INDUSTRY.
Largest SawmiIllng Plant m the South
 west to be Erected Here.

John Caldwell, ex-member of the Michigan legislative assembly, who came to New Mexico a few days ago for the purpose of paying taxes for the present year on the 10000 acre tract of timber llnd in the Zuni Mountains for Mitchell Bros, expects to finish his labors tomorrow and then return to his home in Cadillac, Mich.
 The timber and land was purchased eleven years ago by Mitchell Bros. and the lumber was to have been manufactured at the station of Nit chell, on the Santa Fe Pacific railroad but the mill was afterwards torn down and sold to the Saginaw Lum- Der company at Williams, Arizona. The gentlemen have, however, owned and paid taxes on their timber land and never for once abandoned the idea of manufacturing the lumber, but were at loss to determine where NOulQ Dt tllC DlOob SulidDlo lOCdtlOu for their mill. They have at last de- cided to erect their plant at Albu- querque, but the time for starting on the structure is not yet for publica- tion. It is their intention of building mill in which they can produce at least 100000 feet of lumber daily, which is about twice the capacity of the plant of Flagstaff. The timber land is about twenty miles distant from the nearest point on the Santa Fe Pacific railroad and from this place standard guage track will be extended, making the entire distance to Albuquerque not to exceed 100 miles. It is claimed the timber is the very best grade of pine and that there is sufficient amount of it to keep a mill of 100000 feet daily capa- city employed for a half century at least.-Albuquerque Citizen.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Those who were expecting short message from President Roosevelt ac- cording to announcements sent out, have been disappointed. The mes sage is quite lengthy one, but after a perusal of it, one cannot see where anything has been said which might have been omitted. The document will be read by a greater number of people in the United States than any message of any president for years past. The country has been expec- tant of this message and have been anxious to see how the new president would express himself on the various subjects of national inter est. The message is masterly state document and is full of interest in every line from its opening sentence to its closing words.
 A special feature of it throughout is the spirit of true Americanism which pervades its every line. The president shows that he considers true, genuine American manhood, ss the highest type, and the nation composed of the aggregate of these types as the embodiment of thepurest and best principles of governmental affairs. Its Americanism is distinct, marked and pronounced feature of the message and one which cannot fail to find a responsive echo in the heart of every true American citizen.
 In the opening paragraphs he re- fers to the assassination of his prede cessor and pays high tribute to his noble character, both as a private citizen and public official and refers to his eminent and useful services to his country.
 Following this comes his recom- mendation for the treatment of an archists, which will be endorsed by all and which is given herewith in full.
 I earnestly recommend to the con gress that in the exercise of its wise discretion it should take into consid- eration the coming to this country of anarchists or persons protesting prin- ciples hostile to all government and justifying the murder of those placed in authority. Such individuals as those who not long ago gathered in open meeting to glorify the murder of King Humbert of Italy perpetrate a crime, and the law should ensure their rigorous punishment. They and those like them should be kept out of this country; and if found here they should be promptly deported to the country whence they came; and far-reaching provision should be made for the punishment of those who stay. No matter calls more urgently for the wisest thought of the congress.
 The federal courts should be given jurisdiction over any man who kills or attempts to kill the president or any man who by the constitution or by law is in line of succession for the presidency, while the punishment for an unsuccessful attempt should be proportioned to the enormity of the ofense against our institutions.
 Anarchy is a crime against the whole human race; and all mankind should band against the anarchist. His crime should nave been made an ofense against the law of nations, like piracy and that form of man. stealing known as the slave trade; for it is of far blacker infamy than either. It should be so declared by treaties among all civilized powers. Such treaties would give to the fed
