ATTENDING TO BUSINESS.
Delegate Rodey Looks After Postal Irregu-
larities and Tries to Have Them
Corrected.

Recently Hon. j. F. Hinkle advised
the New Mexican that his paper, mail
ed regularly from Santa Fe, reached
him very irregularly and requested a
correction of the matter. The New
Mexican sent copy of his letter to
Hon. B. S. Rodey, delegate to congress,
and requested that he obtain better
service. Mr.. Rodey promptly took the
matter up and the following explains
itself:
Albuquerque, N. M, June 1, 1901.
Hon. j. f. Hinkle, Lower Penasco,
New Mexico.
Hon. J. D. Hughes, Santa Fe, NM.
Gentlemen: The following is a copy
of letter on the subject you wrote
about, and it explains itself. Very truly
yours, B. S. RODEY,
Washington, D. c., May q, 1901.
Hon. B. s. Rodey, Albuquerque, N. M.
Sir: have the honor to acknowledge
receipt of your letter of the 18th inst,
forwarding communication from Hon.
j. F. Hinkle of Lower Penasco, and
Hon. j. D. Hughes, relative to the ir-
regularity of the mail service at Lower
Penasco, and to inform you that this
matter has been referred to the general
superintendent of the railway mail
service for investigation as to the dis
patch of mail for Lower Penasco.
In this connection I would state that
there has been more or less delay to
mails passing through Alamogordo,
from one railroad to the other, owing
to the failure of the trains to make
connection at that place, and the ques-
ton of establishing a star route from
Alamogordo to La Luz or Cioudcroft
has been under consideration, but as 1t
was understood that the Alamogordo
& Sacramento Mountain Railway COM
pany would adopt schedule which
would make the desired connection
with the FL Paso & Northeastern rail-
way at Alamogordo, action in the mat
ter was deferred. The matter has
been again taken up, however, and II
it is found that the railroad will not
adopt a suitable schedule, further ac-
tion will be taken. Very respectfully
w. s. SHALLENBERGER
Second Asst. p. M. General.

Excused for HugEins Girl.

James Keithley. arrested in Quincy,
H.. for walking along the street with
his arm around a girl. told the Judge
he was ignorant of the rules govern
ing Quincy society. In Hunnewell,
Mo. the boys Rugged the girls when
ever they felt like it, and it was quite
common to see young men walking
down the street with their arms around
girls.
The judge excused the offender on
payment of costs, but the girls of Hun
newell did not excuse him. They met
in a body and adopted resolutions in
which they score the young man in ten
different paragraphs underscored in
red ink, and offer a reward for his
capture, dead or alive"
The town paper, the Graphic, was re-
quested to print a denial of Keithley's
statements, and it did so. Keithley
will not have a chance to hug many
girls if he comes to Hunnewell.

HOMES FOR WORKERS
Kenosha Cwis.) Manufacturers AIDE }
a Novel Plan to Attract Factory
Men to Their City.

Profit-sharing on a novel basis Is
to be given a trial by IL of the lead
ing industrial plants in Kenosha.
Wis, as the managers of the plants
have formed a cooperative associa-
ton for the purpose of bringing in
laborers and to make the city a
model manufacturing town. The
plan is to purchase a large tract OF
land on which will be built homes for
1000 laborers. These homes will be
sold to the men at the actual cost of
building. They will be located near
the factory district, and fitted with
all modern conveniences. In order to
encourage matrimony among the
workmen these houses will be sold
or rented, and in the latter case the
rent paid will apply on the purchase
price of the house. To further the
plan a large clearinghouse will be
erected to accommodate several
hundred workmen, at which it will
be possible to secure board and
rooms at low rates. One thousand
men are now needed for the factories
in Kenosha, and this unique plan has
been hit upon to draw people to the

MOSQUITOES FOE AT WORK.
New York Health Omcer Begins Has
War on the Insects on staten
Island.

The first battle in the war which is
to be waged against the mosquitoes
of Staten Island was fought the 9TH
er day by DIR. Doty, health officer of
the port. The Standard Oil company
had placed as much crude oil at DIR.
Doty's disposal as he might find it
necessary to use. His wagon carried
a tank containing ten barrels, or 500
gallons, of oil. Above this was a
cylinder containing compressed air at
pressure of 1000 pounds to the
square inch, which was used to force
the oil through the hose attached to
the tank and into the sprayer.
The sprayer is designed to sink
about foot and half below the sur
face of the water. 1t is built like a
wooden raft, and beneath is a grid
iron of iron piping in which small
holes have been drilled. The oil is
forced by a pressure of about 30
pounds into the sprayer under the
water, to the top of which it Uses in
a thick, black, greasy mass.
DR.. Doty's Investigations have
shown him that the larvae is depos-
tied about six inches below the sur
face. When the ''wigglers" come out
of the eggs they rise to the surface
from time to time to breathe. The
object of forcing the oil under the
surface is to destroy the eggs. DR..
Doty said the test was eminently sue

NEEDS OF MANILA.
City Would BE Greatly Benefited by
Trolley Line, Department store
and Good Hotel.

Manila is a city of 100000 persons,
with practically no street car service.
An electric streS CIR line and lighting
plant. an American department store,
handling American goods, and good
hotel are the city's most crying needs
at present, and all these enterprises
would pay enormous profits. Nor, con-
trary TO the prevailing impression, is
there any hindrance to the formation
of stock companies to do business in
the Philippines, says the Manila CORE
spondent of the New York Tribune
Following is an extract from an opin-
ion on this subject by the leading at
torneys at Manila:
I'VE are of opinion that corporation
duly organized in any of the United
States in accordance with the laws of
such state, can engage here in the
business authorized in its articles
(such articles should provide for the
operation of the corporation in the
Philippines). and that such corpora
tion would have the undoubted right to
acquire and hold property of all de-
scription. including real estate, in the
Philippine islands"

DIR. A. Donaldson Smith has re-
turned from London, where he at

meeting was held at the Hotel Metro
pole on May 20, and DIR. Smith

receiving a gold medal conferred by
the society for geographical research.
Gold medals are usually awarded at

than two year.

The others who received the decora-
ton were Elisha Kent Kane, Lieut.

The two medals presented by the

EASILY MADE HAPPY.
A New York Woman WAC Finds Four
Dollars Year Is Enough
for Her Needs.

There is one woman in New York
who is rich on four dollars a year
and is an object lesson of content
ment in her daily life. She is Miss
Emily b. Elwell, ward No. 81, aims
house, Blackwell's Island. The sim
pie needs of her existence are pro-
vided for. She has a roof over her
head, food enough to eat, and gar
ments sufficient for the society in
which she moves.
Three years ago, when she had to
go to the almshouse, she had but one
haunting fear-that she would fill a
pauper's grave. That fear has been
removed. The money from which her
moderate income springs will be am
pie to bury her.
Miss Elwellswas a teacher in the
New York public schools for AZ years.
Her life was exemplary, her manner
was gentle and ladylike, nobody dis
liked her, but she was unfortunate.
She had no influential friends, and
when anybody had to be dropped
from the list of school-teachers, she
was the one selected. At last the
time came when no place was open
for her to teach in, and she was COM
PEELED to become an inmate of the
poorhouse. u
The story of Miss Elwell's life be-
came known to sympathetic wom-
an, whose name is a secret to Miss
Elwell, and this nightmare of her ex-
istence was removed.
This unknown friend put into the
hands of the officers of the Interna-
tional Sunshine society 500, to be
deposited to the credit of Miss Ell
well in savings bank. The former
teacher was to have the interest on
that amount each year. and the
principal was to be used to defray
the expense of her burial

Hardly had the wealthy woman

newspaper men clamoring foreinter-

when several tried to get snap shots

One afternoon a photographer lay
in wait behind the house, hoping to

however, and before he could focus
his camera, he says, she climbed

= JUST OF AMERICAN ARMY.
In Proportion to It's Size United States
Military Establishment Is Most
Expensive fn World.

In proportion to its size the Unit
ed States military establishment is
the most expensive in the world. Ac-
cording to the official notes of mill
tary interest prepared by Lieut.. Col.
Simpson it is shown that the cost of
maintaining one soldier in the Amer
lean army for one year is s1.o14. The
nearest approach to this is Germany
with s201, while Russia pays less than
any other government with $155 for
each man.
A comparative statement is made
which shows the effectiveness of the
different armies, the cost of main
tanning them for year, and the cost
of one soldier for the same period.
1t is as follows:
