For some time past the Santa Fe
company and the Baldwin Locomotive
works have had experts at Ration ex-
amining the big locomotives and max
ing all kinds of tests and experiments
with the ponderous machines. 1t now
develops that the visit of these men
was largely for the purpose of investi-
eating the cause of one serious trou-
BILE that the Santa Fe has been having
with it's engines. For some time past
big cracks in the cylinders have been
suddenly and Unexpectedly appearing
for some cause or causes which re-
mainei a mystery. A crack in a cylin-
der is a serious defect and the com
pany has been making every effort to
find a way to prevent the fractures.
The problem has baffied the best me-
chanical experts of the Baldwin peo-
pie and also of the Santa Fe, and it
is not satisfactorily solved even yet.
Various theories are advanced and the
Baldwin company will make a change
in the way the cylinder is set in the
cylinder saddle, which it is hoped Will
keep the steel from cracking Me-
chanical Superintendent C. NJ Taylor
of the western grand division of the
Santa Fe and Baldwin's expert Wiley
have spent several weeks in expert
ments and study over the question.

For the last few seasons prominent

ism and love of country that comes
with the present actions of plays
wherein such characters at Nathan
Hale, Barbara Freitchie, and jolly
Tars play the prominent parts. The
heroes of the Revolution, the Civil
war and the Spanish-American war
have been exploited upon the stage,
and the stories of heroism and valor
of the Border days when Texas and
Mexico were at strife have now been
dramatized and placed before the
public. 1t is left for the veteran act
or Ed. Redmond to assume the role of
that famous scout and statesman
Davy Crockett and to revive the inter
who know of the life of Crockett and
his daring courage shown at the Tex
as massacre will understand what an
opportunity there is for dramatic char
acter. Crockett was one of the six
survivors of that fight of the Alamo
a fight against great odds. The Amer
leans had but 140 brave souls with
the walls of the ancient Spanish fort,
while Santa Anna, the Mexican gen.
eral, had several thousand Mexican
soldiers. Thermopolae had its mes
senger of death, the Alamo had none!

The valiant souls within those walls,
though overpowered ten to one, re
fused to surrender or send a messen-
ger of death to their friends They
fought it out. Such men as Bowie,
with sickness, fought it out
to the end. Crockett was one of the
six survivors of the battle who sur

Mexican troops at the command of
Santa Anna, for none were to survive

r. 8. scHooNMAKER.
Become Circulation Manager
of the Optic.

The matter for the following sketch
was furnished by a gentleman who
has been intimately acquainted with
the subject for many years:
Twenty years ago young man who
had for ten years been in the office
of the great house of Marshall Field
in Chicago came to Las Vegas and as
sumei the management of the busi-
ness office of Charles Ilfeld's big de-
partment store. The young man was
r. B. Schoonmaker. His subsequent
history has been the history of the
development of the establishment,
which now ranks as the most exten-
sive of its kind in the whole south
west. For two years (1SS6-87) Mr..
Schoonmaker engaged in the newspa-
per business in Las Vegas. He con-
Quoted bright fearless and wholly
admirable publication. In the latter
part of '94 he returned to the employ
of Mr.. Ilfeld, where he has remained
ever since, resigning few days ago
to accept a position as circulation
manager of The Optic.
During his many years of faithful
service in the big Ilfeld establishment
Mr.. Schoonmaker, by his careful bust
ness methods, excellent judgment,
tireless energy and unfailing indus
try, has contributed in no slight de-
gree to the gratifying financial suc-
cess of the house. He has ever been
Jealous for the interest Of his en-
ployers. Also he has had the good
of every employe in the great estab-
lishment at heart. Many young man
has been trained under his watchful
eye to become a capable and we'll
equipped business man. During Es
tenure of the office of business man.
ager of the house Mr.. Schoonmaker
has seen the establishment expand to
more than double proportions. Much
reliance has been placed upon his
judgment, and his suggestions have
never been found unwise.
There is profound mutual regret at
the parting between employer and en-
ploye of so many years standing. But
Mr.. Schoonmaker feels that he should
engage in a business that will permit
of more physical activity and less Of
flee confinement.
In the community Mr.. SchOonmaker,
in a quiet, unostentatious way, has
ever been power for good. Accord
ing to his means he has contributed
with the utmost liberality to every
worthy object. He has supreme faith
in Las Vegas, and her welfare and up
building have eyer been TO him OBJ
jects of extreme solicitude. He has
ever been associated with that which
makes for freedom and growth and
the best of everything.
AS trained and successful busi-
ness man, an enterprising, upright
a courteous and unassuming
gentleman. Mr. Schoonmaker is high
ly appreciated not only in Las Vegas,
but among the larger public. with
whom he has had business dealings
for. many years.
The Optic feels highly privileged in
being able to add Mr.. Schoonmaker
to its force. The public also will be
the gamer.

A Brisk Blaze.

A blaze was started in Mrs. Jen
ME Gillespie's millinery store, in
the DR.. Kirk Drug Store building,
about ten O'Clock last Friday morn
ing, which required active work to
keep from getting entirely beyond
control. Mrs. Gillespie, while
taking a box of millinery trimmings
from one of the shelves dropped it
on a small oil stove. The stove
was upset and the blazing oil soon
set fire to the inflammable material
at hand. The cry of hfre!" was
responded to by number of the
little hand extinguishers being hur-
ried to the scene and turned on the
rapidly spreading flames. A few
minutes work sufficed to extinguish
the fire, but not before a large por-
tiop of the stock had been burned
and badly damaged by smoke and
water. The fire occurring as it did
in the midst of the milliners' busy
season, was most unfortunate for
Mrs. Gillespie. Her loss will ag-
gregate several hundred dollars, as
there was no insurance on the
stock, and she has'the sympathy of
the community, but consoles her
sell with the fact that it might
have been worse.
