Red River prospector. (Red River, Taos County, N.M.) 1900-190?, 1902-12-04

A nervous, irritable mother often on the verge of Mysteries, is
unit to care for children; it ruins a chlds disposition and reacts
upon herself The trouble between, children and their mothers
weakness, and she is entirely unfit to bear the strain upon her nerves
that governing a child involves; it is impossible for her to do anything
calmly She cannot help it, as her condition is due to suffering and
shattered nerves caused by some arrangement of the uterine system
with backache, headache, and all kinds of pain, and she is on the verge
of nervous prostration.
When a mother finds that she cannot be calm and quiet with her
children, she may be sure that her condition needs attention, and she can
not do better than to take Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
This, medicine will build, up her system, strengthen her nerves, and
enable her to calmly handle a disobedient child without a scene. The
children will soon realize the difference, and seeing their mother quiet
will themselves become quiet.

Eyes, Harum seems to be doing fine
ly again this year. Some of the critics
say it is likely to be a second Rip Van
Winkle.' l shouldn't object to that.
But l have produced more new plays
than any actor OF the stage. Get
ting a good play is harder every year.
Some time ago a well known dra-
Inatist read me a scenario that told a
beautiful story. It was just what 1
wanted. 1 accepted it and ordered the
play, paying him $4,000 as advance
money. A month later he brought
me around the first act to read. It
was based on an entirely different
scenario, and l told him SO.
why, this isn't on the lines Of the
scenario you showed me, l said.
"'No. l know it,, he said, but it's a
great deal better
Il didn't like it at all. A week later
ne called again. This time he wanted
to borrow $50. l let him have it. Of
course, and he left a receipt for it.
This is the way the receipt read, as
l discovered after he had left:
Received of w H. Crane $50, to
be repaid out of the first royalties
received on the play l am writing for
him.
That's the last l have ever heard
from him. I suppose ne simply need
ed the $2,5OO in his business.

Shakespeare, and Of a hundred other
things all the time. Sometimes I'd
get all made up and ready to go. Then
I'd drop into Rob's room for a minute

n day of intense excitement and many
conflicting stories concerning the

principal danger in his ease, but last
night internal hcmorrhage set in and
the man blcd to death in n short while.
John declared before his death that he
and his brother had not killed Grocer
Khaney, the crime for which they
were to have been hanged.
One of the sensational developments
of the day. which the authorities tried
to keep secret, was the finding ON the
person of Mrs Soifcl, when searched Mt
the hospital. of long letter from Ed
Biddlc, setting forth in detail the plan
for the escape of the brothers from jail,
naming their destination afterward,
etc.
Mrs. Dietrich. her mother, visited her
yesterday and in response to the ques-
tion as to whether there was anything
she wanted done, she replied:
'Thcre Is nothing to do, nothing to
do"
Tossing on her bed. she said: "Oh,
do not know how l could have done IT;

wicked woman, but | hope God will
spare my life for many years to live

Paris, Feb. 1.-The Liberte prints n
dispatch from Brussels to-day which
says that DIR. Leyds. the European
agent of the Beers, recently received
communication from General Botha,
dated only six weeks ago. in which the
Boer commander-in-chief not only
does not allude to his alleged desire for
peace but declares the Beers are suffi-
ciently provisioned to continue the
struggle hopefully, and that the atten-
ton in Cape Colony is growing worse
for the British.
The Tempes correspondent. in an in
terview with DR.. Leyds and Mr.. Fisch-
er at Brussels regarding the powers of
the Boer delegation, quotes them as
saying:

Increased Pay to Glass Workers.

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 1.-Acting inde-
pendently of the combines, the ID. O..
Cunningham Glass Company, which Is
the largest manufacturer of window
glass outside of the American Window
Glass Company, voluntarily advanced
>the wages of all unskilled labor ten per
cent. Similar action was Immediately
taken by S. Mckee * Co., and Cum
ningham & Co., limited, who, like the
Cunningham Glass Company, are mem.
bers of the Independent Glass Com
pany.
1t is expected that the other plants
of the Independent Glass Company, the
American Window Glass Company and
the Federation Cooperative Window
Glass Company will follow suit. The
advance will affect 1000 men.
This move on the part of the Cum
ningham Glass Company was entirely
unlocked for by the combines, and is
due to the advance made last week to
skilled labor by the American Window
Glass Company. the independents and
co-operatives.

FIRE in THE MIDST OF A GALE.
Connecticut Manufacturing Center
Nearly Wiped out.-Loss
s2,ooO,OOO.

Waterbury, Conn, Feb. BIN the
hardest gale of the winter, Waterbury,
Connecticut, struggled last night with
a fire that destroyed large area OF
the business section of the city, and
threatened to wipe it out completely.
The blaze started in the store Of the
Reid & Hughes Dry Goods Company
at 10S-120 Bank street. and that store
and many adjoining buildings were re-
duced in few hours to smoldering EN-
bers. An estimate of S2,o00,OOO rs the
amount OF property loss on building
and contents was considered conscrva-
tive by insurance men. The origin OF
the fire is unknown, and it was undis-
covered until it had gained tremendous
Roadway.
The fire Mt 2:30 was under control
with moderating winds. The flames
are not out by any means, though it is
believed they can now be confined
within the area already burned.
The fire originated in the upholstery
department on the third floor of the
store. At f:15 p. IN. A. l.. Lyall,
Il. X. Croker and Il. X. Burnham We're
in the store. When they left there was
neither smoke noc smell of smoke on
the main floor. Fifteen minutes later
flames were seen to burst with great
force from the windows of the third
floor and from the basement almost
simultaneously. Before anybody could
ring in an alarm the whole Interior OF
the building was II mass of flames.
When the department reached the
scene flames were issuing from every
window, and 1t was evident that the
structure was doomed and that the en-
tire business section of the city was
| imperiled.
The fire started in n drzzling rain
with Il rapidly increasing wind, and
| with the increasing cold the rain
| turned to snow. The wind was at
| first shifting. but it settled toward the
| east and carried destruction with 1t.
Shortly after midnight the fire, which
| had apparently been brought nearly
under control, broke out in new places,
| and the efforts of the local tiremen,
combined with the aid given by fire
| fighters and apparatus from Hartford
bridgeport, New Haven and NnuGa'
| tuck, seemed powerless to stay Its pro
| gress. The blaze was wiping out the
| business portion of the city. all the iire
| being confined to that section, though
residential parts of the city were in
| danger from sparks driven by the furi
| Gus wind.
In the panic caused by the fire there
were many rumors of accidents and
fatalities, but at the Waterbury hospi
1 tai at l o'clock. 1t was said that no acct
dents or deaths had been reported.
At that hour the fire was still burn.
ing though as viewed from the hospi-
| tai which is on an cmincncc command
ing the city, 1t appeared that its viGor
was nbating. Hope was expressed that
the worst was over and that the fire
would soon be under control

Shipping at New York Has Hard Ex-

New York. Feb. 3.-Since sundown
to-day n gale has been blowing contin-
uously ut Sandy Hook, ut times the
wind reached the rate Of over sixty
miles an hour. The sea outside and In
the New York lower bay is extremely
rough. The steam pilot boat New
York, which is used to any weather,

CAN ENFORCE THE LAW.
Prominent Railroad Man criticises the
Interstate Commerce Commission.

Louisville. Ky. Feb. 3.-That the In
! torstntc Commerce Commission is IT,
! self to blame for the rate cutting
which 1t condemns in its last annual
report. is the claim made by Walker
IL. Hines, first vice president of the
Louisville n Nashville railroad Com
pany, in Il pamphlet that he has just
| issued. Mr. Hines has given special
study 10 the subject and his conten'
tion is in substance rs follows:
"The commission cndcavors. as 1t has
done for years. to excite support for its
demand for more power by describing
the prevalence of secret rate cutting.
1t held new Investigations nt Chicago
and Kansas City TO disclose conditions
which it has known for years, delay
ing the publication of its report so as
to give the results of these hearings.
''rhe indisputable fact must be kept
before the public that the prevalence
of rate cutting Is an unanswerable ar
gument against giving the commission
more power. because 1t Is due prin-
cipally to the commissions utter failure
to perform its manifest duty.
'Thc paramount purpose of the law
was to secure publicity and the mhin-
tenance of tariff rates. 1t is the ex-
press duty of the commission to keep
advised and enforce the law. 1t has
the widest possible powers of invesu-
CATION, including the right to call for
the production of all books, documents
and papers, and 1t can require the dis
trict attorneys of the United States to
prosecute all violators. These powers
have been upheld by the courts. The
committee. however, has not only
failed to devote Its time and energy
to discovering and prosecuting viola
tions of the law, but 1t has by Its su-
pinencss ncquiesced in and encouraged
them, and has done all in its power TO
break down the force of the act and
make it dead letter by constantly pro-
claiming that the courts have made its
enforcement impossible, whereas, not
n single decision has impaired the COM
missions power TO prevent rate cut
ting.
"As an Illustration of It's methods 1t
states in Its last annual report that the
courts have held that TO convict FOR
paying rebate it is necessary 20 show
not merely that the railroad company
paid rebate to n particular shipper.
but it must also be shown that II did
not pay the same rebate to some other
shipper. which, as practical matter,
is almost impossible. This statement
is not true. Tie very decision re-
ferred to distinctly holds that the mere
fact of paying n rebate from the tariff
rate is in itself an offense, regardless
of what was paid by anybody else and
the act makes this offcnsc punishable
by n fine which may be as much as So
600 for each instance, where the tariff
rate has been departed from"
