GOES TO NEW YORK

Mrs. E. H. Hurley will leave SatuI-
day for New York and the eastern
markets to purchase a swell, new
stock of millinery. 1t is not very
often that people go so far from
Canon City to purchase goods, but as
everyone knows that the place to
find the correct styles is in New York.
Within few months Canon women
will be buying millinery that is now
being designed in Paris and made
ready for New York buyers.

AFTER THE YANKEES

On account of the enforcement of
recent new law Mexico, many
Yankees have been thrown out of
employment. The statute requires
that everybody connected with a
railroad there must be able TO speak
the Spanish language.
This Law will have a serious effect
on many railway employees and rep
resentatives in Mexico. The roads
there are largely operated by men
from the United States. The wages
there are very good. and several men
formerly Of this citv, win be affected
by the new order of Law.
There are but few Mexicans en-
ployed in responsible positions in
Mexico. This is for the reason that
many Of the roads were built with
United States money by United States
financiers. The transportation across
the border is comparatively new and
Mexicans have not shown any dispo-
sition to take up the work. All Of
the projected lines are being engin-
eered by Americans.
1t is said that the Mexican author
lilies feared an entire Americanizing
of their railroads, which would re-
suit in Americanizing the country,
hence the new law. How far it will
reach remains to be seen.

tutes are looked forward to with
great anticipation Whole weeks

ally two sessions are held daily. one

A NEW LIGHT

Experiments are being made in
Denver with a hew dynamo, the in
ventors Of which expect it to work Il
revelation in railroad travel, by light
ing cars with electricity and provid-
ing them with electric fans. The
dynamo ia attached to the axles Of
car wheels, and the revolution Of the
wheels generates electricity. The
current passes into storage battery,
and from there through a regulator,
which keeps the lights always at the
same brilliancy. 1t is said that it
will be affected in no way by dirt.
heat or cold, and that it will not ap-
preciably reduce the speed Of the
cars, AS the resistance it offers is COM
parstively slight. A good light will
be produced. even when the cars are
running SO slowly as FIVE miles an
hour. As the appliance is supplied
independently to each car. there is no
Inconvenience from switching, and no
chance OF wires becoming discon-
nected, and no fluttering or diminu-
tion of power. If the new light tul-
fills the promises of the inventors it
will come into general use, for it is
precisely the kind Of light that is in
demand. 1t would be well II travellers
on the journey Of life would avail
themselves of the light which, like
this Of the Denver inventors, comes
from progress on their way. Too
many people forget that God assures
those who walk in his ways of the
light that they need.
The foregoing recently appeared
in the Christian Herald. The gentle
men who are the inventors of this
new light are c. +. Elliott of Denver,
and Mayor James H. Peabody and N.
+. Handy Of this city. The new light
was described at length in a previous
issue Of the RECORD.

THE LANGUAGE TEST.

An immigration official during the course of a lecture at the Rifles armory the other evening, says Washington Times was exhibiting types of arrivals at the Ellis Island immigration station in New York. He told of fellow on a ship, one day whose face and make up were such that the inspection off, cers could not for the life of them de- termine the particular country whence he came. He was accosted in turn by lingusts in Italian, German, Slavak, Scandinavian, Greek and Finnish Not less than twenty two different tongues and dialects were tried on the new ar rival, who looked as thought he might have hailed from any one of the coun- tries where those languages are spoken; but he didn't say aword, justsstood and stared at the officers who were inter- rogating him.
 Finally he turned to them and ex- claimed For the love of heaven, is there anybody around here who can speak English?"
 We once heard Judge A. M. Kelley narrate a somewhat similar experience he had while on the bench in the In- ternational Court at Cairo After witness whose nationality was pug gle had been addressed in France, Span ish, German, Portuguese Italian and Arabic, and failed to make any response except to indicate by shaking his head that he did not understand, Judge Kel- ley turned to a brother judge. and re- marked sotto voice: T wonder what language the idiot speaks, anyhow"

IMMORTALITY IN WAX.
Reformer Roberts Crusade Against { Show Window in Memphis

Reformer Roberts Crusade Against {
 Show Window in Memphis
 Charles T. Roberts is a misguided nor
 alist from Mississippi. He inauguratet
 a sort of Carrie Nation crusade on Mair street yesterday afternoon. Artificial anatomy is Roberts pet antipathy. His
 long suit is the demolition of the plate
 glass window wherein tradesmen are
 wont to display imported petticoats and
 white light lingerie, clinging with se- | ductive grace to shapely models which
 reveal the latest things in hosiery Rob-
 erts came to Memphis Thursday. In
 passing to and, fro before the brilliant
 windows on Main street his sense of
 modesty was deeply shocked by what
 appeared to him to be the impious ex- | hibitons in the show windows. Rob- erts says that he is a devout church | member, and that his duty to the younger genra ton rises to any emer- gency in the removal otem noitatpfya gency in the removal of temptation from the path of youth.
 At 346 and 34S Main street there had been for several days a decorated win dow which arrested the gaze of all passing pedestrians, saint and sinner There were seen rich fabrics conform ing to graceful curves, luscious looking lips and artfully fashioned cheeks smil- ing and blushing in cbangeless wax. Slender fingers seemd to grasp the gor- geous gowns, gathering them up from
 J I1y .s,Tl and fetching silken stockings.
 Roberts had never dreamed that such things could be- His idea of windows was that of the Puritan poet who sang of ''storied windows, rightly dight, casting dim, religious light" This particular window was richly dight, but the dim religious light was wanting And so Roberts concluded that the time had come for action.
 Bang Crash! Roberts sent his right foot through the heavy plate glass. The window was shattered. Down came fragments of the heavy plate, overturn- ing the fair, false beauties and mismat- ing their inaninate anatomy in a gen. eral wreck.
 Roberts made no effort to escape T. J. Sullivan, an employe of the firm rushed out and seized him. while an other attache called for assistance from the central police station. The partoi wagon was quickly on the scene and the reformer was hustled to the sta tion. At the station he was traetable, and showed no indication of a violent temper He seemed to be under the in- fuence of narcotic, and was soon asleep in a cell after being locked in a cell.
 When questioned Roberts said that he had smashed the window because the exhibition was immodest, and calculat- ed to lead the youth of Memphis astray. He expressed no regret for the deed.
 Roberts is 37. years of age, and painter by trade He is known to sev- eral members of the police force, who say that he belongs to an excellent fam fly at Jackson Miss. He had never de- Veloped any violent reform tendencies prior to tbis escapade. The charge of malicious mischief is registered against him at the police station, and the firm announces that the case will be prose- the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
