SKETCH OF THE OLDEST
 CITY IN THIS COUNTRY
From the Santa Fe New Mexican.

From the Santa Fe New Mexican.
 1 HE Villa Real de Santa Fe de San 9 Fra Francisco de Assist, to give its
 full Spanish name, Is the historic City of Santa Fe, the seat of the govern ment of the territory of New Mexico as well as county seat and the see of an archbishop of the Roman Catholic church, and enjoys the distinction of be- ing the oldest town and the oldest capital within the United States. It's permanent settlement by Europeans antedates the founding of Jamestown. and also the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers at Ply mouth more than twenty years.
 The thrilling and romantic incidents composing It's story, the protracted and bloody struggles with hords of savage Indians, the capture and pillage of hos tile Pueblos in 168o the general massacre of missionaries and explorers and flight of the governor and a few followers in the night to Fl Paso, the reserving of some of the handsomest maidens for wives of favored warriors the desecra- tion and destruction of the Christian churches and the restoration of the wor- ship of snakes and stone idols, the recon quest of Diego de Vargas twelve years later. the terrible punishment visited up on the rebellious Pueblos, the change from Spanish rule to the rule of the triumphant republic of Mexico, the cap- ture by the United States forces under General Kearny and the building of old Fort Marcy in 1s46, the stirring scenes ac- companying the distribution of the im- mense traffic of the Santa Fe trail, the wild deeds of desperadoes, and the fabu- lous hazards at cards in the days before the advent of the railroad, afford the ma terial for an epic poem of deep interest.
 The governors palace surpasses in his- toric interest and value any other place or object in the United States. It ante dates the settlement of Jamestown by twenty-two, and has stood during the 299 years since Its erection, not as cold rock or monument with no claim upon the in- terest of humanity except the bare fact of It's continued existence, but as the living center of everything of historic im- portance In the southwest. Through all that long period, whether under the con- trol of Spain, the Pueblos, Mexico, or the United States, it has been the seat of power and authority, whether the ruler was called viceroy, captain general. po- litical chief, department commander or governor, and whether he presided over a kingdom. a province, a department or a territory, that has been his official residence

REMARKABLE INSTANCES
 OF VERY SOUND SLEEP

she remained in the comatose condition she was motionless and insensible. the pulse was low and her breathing scarcely perceptlble; b' her complexion remained iorid and healthy.
 Somewhat similar was the case of laboring man Eamed Samuel Clinton. who resided at Timsbury. near Bath. At the age of 25 he fell into a profound sleep, in which he continued for a month, in spite of all the efforts that were made to rouse him from his lethargic slum- Der. When at length he wakened up he at once went about his work as if noth- ing unusual had happened.
 Two years later he slept for seventeen weeks, and during that time he occasion ally, without waking, partook of the food which was constantly kept beside him. Again, he awoke naturally, and on re- stunning work was somewhat surprised to find that 1t was harvest time. The pe- riod that had elapsed between the sow ing and reaping had been to him blank.
 A year later, after complaining of 8 shivering and coldness in his back he again fell into a sleep which lasted fully five months. Many and various were the means adopted for the purpose of rous- ing him, but all attempts proved fruit less. Even the inhiction of pain. which under ordinary circumstances would have been excruciating. failed to make the slightest impression upon him.
 William Foxley, who was at one time potmaker for the mint in the Tower of London, once slept for fourteen days and fifteen nights and then awoke under the impression that he had slept no longer than usual. The most eminent physicians of the time were quite unable to account for his extraordinary sleep.

 Lexington May 21-30.

Lexington, Va, May 12.-The general assembly of the Southern Presbyterian church will hold It's forty-third annual session in Lexington, Va, May 21-9O. The opening sermon will be preached by the retiring moderator, the Rev. w. T. Hall
 Included in the business that will come over from the last assembly will be the consideration of & new catechism," which has been prepared for some years. The Presbyteries will send up their an- swers as to whether the form of gov- ernment shall be amended so that thesis written in Latin shall no longer be required of candidates for license to preach. One of the most interesting dis cussions will be over the question whether or not overtures shall be made to the Reformed (Dutch) church in America in regard to reunion between the two churches.

From the Washington Times.
 N MEXICAN bluejackets in the P North Atlantic squadron off Pen sacola have shattered the worlds record on target shooting with big guns.
 All the ships in Admiral Higginson' battleship squadron have made good showing in the recent practice, but the Indiana claims the honor of having two gunners who are not equailed by any others in the world in the use of the 13- inch gun.
 These two men are Richard w. Riedel, coxswain, and Edwin J. Hill, boatswain's mate They accomplished the unprece- dented feat of hitting a target r by 1 feet eight times in succession at a dis tance of 1900 yards, while the Indiana was running at a speed of eight knots an hour The holes made in the target were clean-cut, showing that the marks manship was sure, and not accidental. Two of the shots were fired in two min utes and twenty seconds.
 Riedel Is a Chicagoan, and has been In the service only since 1900. Hill is a na- tive of Bellefonte, Pa, and has been in
 
 the navy for five years. He formerly served on the Richmond. Both of these men earned a percentage Of 100 in the recent practice. R. W. Mcdonald of the Indiana also had a percentage of 100 in the contest with 13-inch guns, and dis played craftsmanship almost equal to that of the other two Indiana men. Me- Donald is a Buffalo man. and was for merly on the Franklin.
 Coxswain Elmer Engelhardt of the Iowa also earned percentage of 100 with a 13-inch gun, but he fired only three shots, and consequently his feat did not approach that of the two In- diana men who struck the target eight consecutive times. Engelhardt is a na- tive of Rochester, N. r.. where his pa- rents live at 351z Emelt street. He has

RACE PROBLEM IN NEW DRESS.

From the New York Tribune.
 There is an addition to the story of the race war in Joplin that will not come by telegraph A former Atchison woman, who lives there, writes to the Globe: ''The recent attempt to drive the ne- groes out of Joplin was the worst thing l ever heard of. It left me without a girl, and with company in the house. Yesterday had to do my own washing, and this morning my husband had to sweep out his office. I do not approve of race wars; the kitchen work is hard, and still have my ironing to do."

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.
rrnm the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
 Nagging has driven more men to crime than all the vices in the world.
 The trouble with present-day humanity Is that it is being coddled Into wreck and ruin.
 A girl can blush so easily that she will do 1t even when she Is reading novel where the heroine begins her honeymoon.
 The more man explains a thing to a woman, the surer she is she could under stand it better without the reasons being made clear.
 It Is very thoughtful of a girl who de- serves to be kissed to wear one of those big hats that act to a man the way a battleship's torpedo-net acts.

 N BOUT three years ago quite a sen- P1N sation was caused among medical experts by the remarkable case of a girl named Kramer, who lived in the village of Huelsweller. This girl, who was B years of age, suddenly fell Into deep sleep from which she could not be awak- ened and she remained in this comatose condition for a whole year, when she was removed to the lunatic asylum at Merzig.
 Nothing could be done for the child beyond carefully attending her, in the hope that she would awaken naturally, which she actually did two months after her admission. During the time she was asleep her teeth were so firmly clinched that her food had to be administered through her nose and when she awoke her gums had completely overgrown her teeth. She was detained in the asylum until her faculties had resumed their normal condition and until her memory. which had completely gone, was gradually restored. When discharged a perfect cure had been effected.
 This case, which is probably one of the most remarkable of its kind which has ever been recorded, Is by no means with out a parallel, as the following will show:
 Blanehel French physician, records the case of patient-a lady of 4 years of age-who on three separate occasions slept for extraordinary periods of time. At the age of IS she slept for 40 days. at the age of 20 she again slept for 50 days and the last recorded sleep extended for nearly a year
 On this occasion she was supplied with liquid nourishment and during the time
