SUES Ell PASO RAILROAD.
Section Foreman Asks For $25 900
Damages.

Ell Paso, March 1.-Albert c. Schaez-
Ter has fled suit for $4,000 damages
against the Ell Paso & Northeastern
railway in the district court here.
The plaintiff alleges that on and be-
fore January 10, 1902, he was in the en-
ploy of the company in the capacity of
section foreman with his station at Es
condida- Otero county, New Mexico. He
had charge of a gang of men employed
to repair the track
On the 9th of January serious wreck
near his place obliged the plaintiff with
a gang of men to work until midnight
clearing away the debris in order that
the track might be clear and traffic not
delayed.
The following morning at o'clock
the plaintiff alleges that he left mis-
house to go on a handcar to a point
north. When the car reached mile post
So it ran into a low bank of sand that
had been blown across the tracks by
the wind and was ditched.
In the accident the handle of the car
is said by the plaintiff to have struck
him on the head and knocked him
SenSeleSS. He was thrown in front of
the car and badly bruised by contact
with the wheels.
The petition goes on to say that the
plaintiff started some time before the
accident TO repair the track in such a
manner as to prevent the sand from
accommodating, but was prevented by
a. II. Lentz, roadmaster. He stopped
under protest, warning his superior that
the place was dangerous.
The plaintiff spent some time at a
hospital at Aiamogordo and later re-
turned to work but was physically un-
able to continue. He claims that his
chest was crushed in and paralysis of
the lower limbs caused by the accl-
dent. For this he asks the court to
grant him $4,000 damages.

Addition A to Garden Place, a plat of
which was filed with the register of
deeds last fall, has been thrown on the
market There are 10 lots in this addi-
ton. North Sardou avenue which con-
meets with Gordon street at the U. P.
and Santa ENe railroad crossing, runs
through this addition and will be the
main thoroughfare to and from Oakland
and the Sardou avenue bridge, which
Will be completed by March Is AS this
addition is bounded by the city on the
west and north it should be annexed
and made part of the First ward. An
electric light should be placed at the
railroad crossing. The Uunion Pacific
crossing, which is too narrow and too
far south, should be made at least 30
feet wide and put in line with Gordon
street and the Santa F'e crossing. The
Union Pacific crossing was put in its
present location when the road was
first built, in 1866. There was no Cor
don street there then, and the crossing
was put across the track on the old
nnent trail, which crossed the Kansas
river just little to the north of where
the new Sardou avenue bridge crosses
the river. The Oakland people say they
can hardly wait until the day and hour
that the new bridge is completed. They
say in going to Topeka they will take
the new route through North Topeka
and avoid crossing so many tracks in

CHOOSING A PRELATE

Method by which a New Head of the

CorriEun's Successor.
The archdiocese of New York is Just
now the center Of interest in the Catho-
lie world. The selection of successor
to the late Archbishop Corrgan is Il
matter Of great Importance to the
church, ana much speculation has been
INDUCED as to who will be chosen. The
metropolitan see of New York is one of
the largest Catholic Jurisdictions in the
world. rivaling Paris and Nienn@ III
this respect. 1t comprises the states Of
New York and New Jersey and a por-
ton of the Bahama islands.
1t is no easy accomplishment to sue
cessfully undertake the spiritual gov
ernment of 100000 souls. a great
archbishop must be many sided man.
Besides being a the0ogian, writer
and an orator. he is expected to he an
organizer. leader, n iinancier, an &C.

SCHOOLS IN PORTO RICO,
Remarkable Thirst of the Natives
After Knowledge.

After Knowledge.
James Preston, who has just return
ed from visit to Porto Rico, tells the
Philadelphia Record: "There are about
fifty American schoolhouses in Porto
Rico now-the Washington, the Lin
coin, the Penn, the Mckinley, the JEFF
ferson, the Irving, the Hamilton. and
so on--and about 1900 pupils are at
tending them. One of the principals

school daily, slept on a bare floor and
begged nearly all her food, she was SC
poor. This was one of his best stu
dents.

big for him that his whole person
could have slipped through the opening
at the neck What's the trouble with
your shirt. my lad?' the principal ask
ed The boy answered: This amt mine:
it's fathers. Mines in the wash That
boy would have come naked rather
than have missed lesson. In town

men who attend it bring their own
candles and sit on the schoolroom floor
In groups Of three. one candle to each
group. The intelligence of the Porto
Ricans, their teachers say, is, as re-
markablc as is their thirst after knowl-
edge. No truant officers are needed

thorities having control of the disposi-
ton of the property of religious orders
and other church property in the Phil
ippines and laying the basis for set
tlement of the many property ques-
tons which have resulted from the sep.
aration of church and state in the is
lands.
This is particularly desirable because
the nature of the question is such that
it is impossible to settle them by nogo-
tiations with the friars themselves in
the Philippines. The purchase of the
friars' lands is the principal thing, and
the government desires to accomplish
this, if congress authorizes it, in an
amicable manner.
Prior to American occupation the
church and state were so closely unit
ed and their interests so interviewer
that now, when separated, ii is difficult
to tell to whom the property belongs.
1t is hoped that when full UNDER
standing of the claims and views Of
each side has been reached and the
facts are fully understood all existing
questions can be settled in such way
as to benefit both parties

depend entirely upon the elevator and
In case of fire in the night loss of life
would be almost inevitable
New furnishings and adornments are
also needed to make the White House
suitable for the entertainment of large
parties. Much new furniture of modern
style is required in place of the monde
script types now scattered through the
portions of the house devoted to social
uses.
No radical changes in the general
features of the house, external or in
ternal, are contemplated. Much of the
trim is too good to be changed and re-
calls vividly the fashion of the early
days of the century when the house
was built. Not few of the mantels
are fine specimens of the art Of their
day, and it would be vandalism to dis
turb them.
Indeed. so far as any alterations are
made in the artistic or decorative fea-
lures of the house, they will tend to-
ward restoring it's original character
The effort at ''modernizing' the fine
old pile has been uniformly in the di-
rection of the steamboat style of orna-
ment rather than in harmony with the
first designs. In the east room. for in
stance, the eXpanse of ceiling is broken
by what purport to be beams sixty feet
long upheld at the two extremities by
pillars twenty feet high.
A considerable change is contemplate
ed in the entrance hall, where the Tiff
fany screen of colored glass has been
one of the familiar features for over
twenty years. Considerable study has
been given at different times to the
question, what could be done with this
screen to improve it, and the conclu-
sion finally reached seems to be that it
must be improved out Of existence, If
at all. This is incidental, of course, to
the removal of the clerical force from
the White House proper and the return
of the latter to the purposes of fami-
ly residence, for which it was originally
designed.
The proposal to remove the clerks
from the second story offices raises at
once the question of new quarters for
them. These 1t is expected to secure by
putting up o temporary building.
