ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, Oct l2.
The first day Of the twenty-third ter

city. There was no formal program
this morning, but at 2:30 this after
noon, the events will begin with the
first match OF the baseball tourna-
ment, El Paso and Albuquerque be-
ing the contestants.
Wild Navaios.
Colonel D. K. B. Sellers has arrived
in the city, bringing with him band
Of the most uncivilized Indians ON the
Navajo reservation. These sons Of
the desert have never been far FROM
their reservation. They were select.
ed for the purpose Of showing the
hosts that gather to attend the fair
and who. for the most part. are la
milsar with the sort of red man Who
hangs about the depots and stalks
through the trains with snndry arti-
cles Of home manufacture, just what
the Navajo in blanket, long hair and
breech clouts has been like for cent
uries. It Is certainly wild-eyed,
long-haired, motley crew that Colonel
Sellars has brought along. They will
dance and sing, run races and engage
in Indian sports for the delectation
Of fair visitors.
The Southern Carnival. which will
exhibit in Las Vegas the last week in
October lis a big cCncern. The tents,
booths and platforms of the company
cover space of seven acres. rhe
carnival gates open this evening.
Governor Otero's address will be the
opening feature. It Is to be delivered
from the carnival band stand at 1880.
The Santa Fe baseball team has
arrived. Its first match is set for
tomorrow afternoon. The Al tents
have been guarding as strict secret
the identity of their third profes iional.
1t turns out TO be Pitcher Kid Nichols,
now with Kansas City, for many years
the crack twirler Of the Boston Ma
tionals. The other two profes siGnais
are empke and Bearwald of DelYcr.
Santa Fe Is conceded to have an eA-
ca'lent chance Of landing first money.
The Albuquerque team has Fred
Ramer of Chicago and Schmidt and
Jones, the renowned rubber-armed art
lists Of Brooklyn. The three teams IN
the tournament are SO evenly matched
that the baseball feature promises 20
be highly interesting. FL Paso pins
her faith especially upon old "Rube'
Waddell, who can pitch better ball
when he wants to than any man in
the business. but the Pass City has
two other fast professionals, and
strong local support. Both the III
Paso and Santa Fe teams are accom-
panied by crowd of enthusiastic
rooters.

At night these signs are brilliantly
illuminated with electricity The ef.

sees from the car window the brightly
lighted, broad street, with the blazing

TENEMENT HOUSE FOR 25-FooT LOT.
Commissioner De Forest Submits Plans to
Superintendent Thompson.

Robert W. De Forest, tenement house commits

ment House act for six story and cellar tene-
ment house accommodating four families on a
floor. to be built on a lot at No. 80 Elizabeth-st
The lot is 25 feet 2 inches In width.
The plans noteworthy, for the reason that
they are the first to be filed since the Tene-
ment House act went into effect. for the utiliza-
tion Of a 25-foot lot for such building. The
popular theory has been that the new law de-
stroyed the availability OF lots of such compare
lively limited width for tenement purposes
What would appear efTectually to dispose OF this
notion is the fact that the proposed tene-
ment house IS not only designed to accommodate
four families a floor. but the plans provide for
these families the luxury of private hall we'll.
The house Is to be 6S feet high and will
have three sets Of fire escapes. the front.
and in an alcove adjoining the light court. re-
spectively. This light court Is the side Of the
building. and is to be 615 feet in width and extend

The rear yard will be 13 feet deep. Stores viii
occupy the first floor Of the house, and the
apartments above will be arranged in groups, each
containing two bedrooms. two living rooms and
store floor. The building is to cost $50, OO0

SWANSTROM SAYS "MOVE." "
Proceedings to Eject Janitor Who
Works Without Pay.

Although George r. Du Boise for six years
has performed services as janitor OF the First
District Municipal Court. at State and Court
sts., Brooklyn, without receiving a cent OF SAL
airy during that time. Borough President Swan
strom has begun proceedings to eject him from
the rooms above the court which he has been
occupying with his family. He has been or
dered to show cause on Monday before Judge
Aspinall in the County Court why he should not
be dispossessed from the premises. On January
10 he was ordered to get out within twelve days,
but paid no attention to the order.
Du Boise declares that ne is janitor of the
building. never having been discharged for
cause, and as such has a perfect right to the
apartments he is occupying. He was appointed
by Judge Neu, at a salary OF $500 year. and
has since then continued to perform his duties
as janitor in a manner that has been above com
plant After two years work, however, his SAL
ary was held up for some reason that he never
understood. He is suing the city for his
back pay The queer part of the whole thing is
that although the city has refused TO pay Du
Boise any money. no other janitor has been ap-
pointed and he has been allowed to continue his
duties.

FALL OF CTUDAD BOLIVAR.
Desperate Fighting and AS0f"L
Carnage.

Soledad, Venezuela, July p, a. m. (by boat
from Ciudad Bolivar).-Ciudad Bolivar was
captured at IL o'clock last night after ffty-two
hours of a desperate struggle and horrible car
mage, in which great courage was shown on both
sides The jail and the Capitol were the centres
Of the most severe fighting, and many men
were killed or wounded there. When those
places were captured only few blocks behind
the Capitol remained TO be taken. AT midnight
the fusillade ceased and the silence of death
reigned all the rest of the night over Ciudad
Bolivar No living persons were then to be seen
in the streets.
At a. m. the correspondent of The Associated
Press followed General Rivas the commander
of the government troops who met General
Gomez the Venezuelan commander in chler'
near the Capitol and confirmed the announce
ment that the Capitol, the jail and all the rest
of the city were in the hands of the govern
ment soldiers General Gomez Informed the
correspondent that the resistance at the Capitol
had been worthy of better cause, that each
ward of the rampant was covered by the dead
and that General Nicolas Rolando. the last rep
resentative of the revolution, and his two chief
assistants Generals Pablo and Guzman, and
General Francisco Vasquez had been taken pris-
oners.
No adequate idea can be given of the scene
which Ciudad Bolivar presents. The city ap-
pears to have been swept by a tornado and fire.
