ITS U N

Afte six years of praising the land
board for selling the most valuable In
stitute lands in the Territory at the
minimum price of So an acre, the
Santa Fe New Mexican. now thai the
best has been sold. says that such
lands should not be sold at that price
but that the sales should take place
after due and fun advertisement in
the daily papers of the Territory. 1t
goes further and says: There should
be no dark lantern business regard
ing the sale of these lands. If they
must be sold. plenty of buyers at
higher rates than the minimum fg-
ures now fixed by law al be obtained.
AS far as this paper is concerned II
is free to admit that it believes that
the leasing system would be of great
err benefit to the territory in the long
run. But certainly under no circum-
stances should these lands be allowed
to be sold at private sale. Reasons
for this are so obvious and SO patent
that il is needless to discourse upon
them at any length. He who runs
read"
How different the language Is from
that held by the same editor In the
same paper only three OF four years
ago when q tremendous tract Of land
was sold. The Optic cannot quote the
remarks verbatim. but its preface to
the deal read something like this:
Las Vegas daily optic. [volume] (Las Vegas, N.M.) 1880-1908, 1903-03-13

buying the lands and the land commits
sion have reached a stage where the
deal is beyond the interference OF
meddlers, the New Mexican is at
liberty to give the details of the big
transaction"
The only people in the world who
could be classed as "meddlers" at that
time were those who might desire
o see the school children of the Ter
ritory derive all the money possible
from the sale of the lands. If the New
Mexican hasn't pursued a dark lantern
policy, particularly in this regard, we
don't know who has. This is the first
line of this tone we have seen in that
paper for years.
What a difference it does make with
the policy and cours of the New Mex
lean when it is gorging itself at the
public crib and when 1t isn't.
AS long as it gets all the spoils from
the public printing It's columns are
full OF fulsome flattery Of those who
are the instruments of it's gain, but
just as soon as the spoils are cut of
it changes it's tune.
The N. M. is a model of consistency.

his intention TO establish a permanent bar

leave early tomorrow morning for Salyers
Vile, twenty-five miles away, over rough

made at which talks will be given to the

Special Gable Despatch TO THE SUN.
LONDON, Sept. l7.-Many thousands OF
homegoing business men stopped in the
streets this afternoon and the roofs Of build
ings we're crowded with spectators watching
the long projected attempt OF spencer, the
aeronaut, to sail his airship from the Crystal
Palace in Sydenham around st. Pauls
Cathedral and over miles OF the densely
built part of South London.
He started at $50 from the roof OF an ONCE
building. His airship is great cigar
shaped vessel of yellow silk, with pendent
car containing a propeller.
Spencer's movements were easily visible
to the crowd below. He started in south
west breeze and at o clock the wind seemed
to be drawing him rapidly 10 the northward.
The airship, however, at times rose to
such q great height that the position, rela-
lively, Of St. Paul's or any other landmark
could hardly be ascertained.
It could be seen that when he was high
above the city the aeronaut was trying to
turn the vessel, but although he succeeded
in DETECTING somewhat from the direct
course which he had taken in obedience
to the wind, he failed in the principal
maneuvre.
The machine would not cross the wind
or sail against it, and drifted away at the
mercy of the breeze like an ordinary balloon.
1t was soon lost to sight but finally
descended safely at New Barnett

AIRSHIP HIT BY HURRICANE
The Crew in the Boat Containing 1t Nearly
~ Hours without Food or Water.

WIDE WATER, Va. Sept. 7.-Hunger
and thirst have been added to the terrors
OF the attempt to subjugate the upper air
by Prof. Langley's airship crew. The tail
end Of the big hurricane tipped across the
Potomac's bosom last night, raising mon
strous waves and threatening to dash the
Buzzard and it's fragile freight against the
shore. Prof Manley went with his crew
on board the Buzzard last night and re-
manned aboard. in order to get an early
start this morning. The storm came up
and tossed them about like cork A big
1,2OO-pound emergency anchor was thrown
out, and it fortunately held the Buzzard
IN place.
The airship workmen and Prof. Manley
were kept on the boat all day to-day, and no
help reached them until afternoon. They
were without food and water. The storm
continued this morning with SUFFICIENT
violence to make the river choppy and
dangerous for small craft The tender
D. M. Key, at Quantioo, dared not breast
the roaring Potomac until nearly noon
A small steam launch which Is used to
carry the airship crew to and from Clifton
Beach was driven up the river out OF reach.
The houseboat tugged at its big anchor and
threatened to follow the launch. Finally,
late this afternoon, the tug reached the
houseboat and took of the hungry and
thirsty crew. Prof. Marley was apparently
undaunted, but the workmen were on the
verge Of mutiny.

that hazing is still going on at the Naval

simply because they have changed the
name Of the practice to running.
Az matter Of fact, hazing In an extremely
severe form is going on, and 1t has driven

1t consists chiefly Of the use Of insulting
and profane language to the under class
men and compelling them by threats to
undergo continuous physical exercises until
exhausted 1t IL this latter practice which
Is sending the boys TO sick quarters. The
hazers are about fifteen midshipmen Of
the three upper classes, who are deficient
in studies and compelled to forego the

custom that this handful Of the dull men
Of the upper classes is hazing the 3l5 youths
who compose the entering class.
The officers are trying TO stir the young
sters to a manly resistance TO such an

MRS. RAFFERTY'S s25 600 SUIT.
Accuses John II. Hayden OF This City Of
Alternating Her Husbands Affections.

WATERFOWL, N. Y, Sept 1.-THE second
demurrer to plaintiff complaint was to-day
served in the case of Deborah NJ. Rafferty,
against John H. Hayden. wealthy New
Yorker. The action is brought to recover
5000 for alienation Of her husbands
affections.
Mrs. Rafferty, was formerly photographer
at Alexandria Bay and two years age was
wooed and won by George B. Eaftr'y.
son OF Gilbert r. rafferty, the ok. tire.
The marriage was opposed by Rafferty,
parents. The plaintiff alleges tfsi Ha. 'deu
and Gilbert 7. Rafferty, entered iEto con-
spiracy to separate her and her husband
and that they succeeded.
One Of the allegations of the complaint
is that the defendant said that Gilbert T..
Rafferty, offered MIN $4,000 if he would
cause the separation. 1t is further alleged
that HAYDEN got her drunk and paraded
her through the streets Of Alexandria Bay
and took indecent liberties with her, as
well as assaulted her.
Recently demurrer TO the complaint was
made on the ground that 1t did not contain
facts sufficient to constitute a cause of
action, which was sustained and an amended
complaint served This has been demurred
to on the ground that two actions, the
alienation Of the husban affections and
assault, are improperly united. The de-
murrer will be argued as soon as possible.
