Few Mormons in New Mexico.

From the Santa Fe New Mexican.
The territory today contains on very con.
servative basis at least $4,000 people; Of
this number less than 800 men. women and
children are of the Mormon faith. Native
citizens of Spanish Mexican descent are
very tenacious, clinging strongly to the
faith of their fathers and no Mormon pros
elytes are ever made here. The New Mex
lean does not know of a single native New
Mexican of Spanish or Mexican descent
who had left his church and embraced
MOrmonism. Among the citizens Of New
Mexico who have come here, whether ma
tive Americans or naturaliZed Europeans,
not one has ever turned to be a Mormon,
and this paper believes that in this terri
tory not single Mormon convert has been
made. The Mormons in New Mexico come
from Utah. and are recruited from there.
They are good law-abiding and hard
working citizens. who do not figure in the
courts, who mind their business and take
very little part in politics. The Mormon
question in New Mexico is OF much mo-
mentum one house fly would be i'm tho
month of August in that rather hot and
tough place called the city of FL Paso, in
El Paso county, Texas. 1t is to be hoped
that the people of the United States will
be spared a repetition of the balderdash
and rotten talk on the Mormon question in
New Mexico which during the last two seq
sions was in vogue in the United StateS
Senate.

A Gift From Washington.

Bangor, Me-, Correspondence New York Tribune
John l.. Donohue, an antiquarian of Rock
land, is exhibiting to his friends a historical
object of much interest in the form of the
portmanteau presented to Gen. Knox of
Thomaston by George Washington, whose
Secretary of War he was. 1t is a commo-
dious. hand-sewed leather satchel, about
eighteen inches long, twelve inches wide
and six inches deep, with lining of linen,
and fitted interiorly with a double cover,
which is fastened by a leather strap run
ming through six brass staples, the outside
covering fastening with straps through
buckles. In this Gen. Knox was wont to
carry part of the pay of the Continental
army on his journeys to headquarters. 1t
was made in 1775, and was one Of +he most
highly priced treasures of Gen. Knox for
the many associations connected with the
gift and giver. The portmanteau was. after
.he death of Gen. Knox, in the possession
of the family of Seth Gerry, close friend
of Gen. Knox who also lived In Thomaston,
and who purchased the Knox mansion at
Montpelier.

AN IDEAL SCHOOL.
It Was Seen on a Little Journey Into
Utopia.

From Impressions Quarterly.
'"The school house itself, to begin with
is not a barrack. It's charming building
as much as possible like our homes. The
views from it art glorious; it's full of the
purest air; its garden and shrubbery are
fine; inside there are flowers everywhere,
and 1t is furnished beautifully; hung, too,
with good pictures-good ones, not the
dreary sort of things with which clubs and
art associations and graduating classes, in
their ignorance, so often endow the un-
happy schools of the land. Why, know,
and 1 dare say you can parallel 1T, of a
school that has on its walls a huge staring
photograph of broken columns, labeled

PRESIDENT DIAz

POWER OF THE MAN
HAS A STERN SENSE OF
JUSTICE.
His Deep solicitude for the Men Who
Fought With Him for
Independence.

Written FOR The Evening Star.
When Warren Hastings was charged with
using his despotic power in India for pri-
vate gain. he cynically replied:
When l think of my chances l am sur
pissed at my moderation"
There Is a despot of today who has had
far better chances of graft than even
Warren Hastings. but never used them.
That man is Porfrio Dia2. for twenty
eight years the autocrat OF Mexico. His
power over the public treasury during that
long period has been absolute, but even his
worst enemies do not allese that ne ever
robbed his country of a cent. And that is
indeed remarkable in a Latin-American
country.
When he became president. away back IN
1875, before his principles became known,
his relatives and friends used to go to him
for easy Jobs under the government. They
expected to be allowed to plunder the
treasury in the good old-fashioned Mexican
way, and they were very much dissusted
when Diaz made it plain that he neither
intended to loot on his own account nor to
allow anybody else to do so.
Since then Diaz has dealt sternly with
many OF his family and his tribe, who.
having been placed in public office. abused
their trust. Many years ago he sent one
Of his cousins to prison for pecula tion. The

CARE OF PAVEMENTS.
Heavy Loads on Marrow Tires Destruc-
tive of Asphalt

"AS oi NarrOW Tires DeStfuc-
tive of Asphalt
From the Asphalt Journal
properly cared for, good pavement
should last for many years. and the real
economy in work of this character is to
build nothing but good substantial pave
ments at the start, and then see to 1t that
they are protected from abuse and misuse
IL is becoming generally recognized that
the most attractive and satisfactory pave
ment for all ordinary purposes is the mod
ern, up-to-date asphalt pavement, some OF
which has already been laid In Chicago,
with the prospect that another consider
able stretch of 1t will be completed during
the present season. The old theory that
asphalt Is not well adapted for standing
the wear and tear of heavy teams is gradu-
ally being discarded, and the claim is now
accepted that good asphalt pavement, laid
on a substantial foundation, will stand
fully as much strain as any other kind of
pavement. provided care is taken to insist
on wloe ufes Tor heavy loads.5' 1t is in ac-
cordance with this theory that the CITY of
Chicago is planning to pave all of It's down
town streets with asphalt which is far
more noiseless than brick, block or cobble-
stone. n0
1t is a fact we'll understood. however. that
terribly destructive to any kind of street
pavement, no less than to the maintenance
OF good country roads and there Is, there
iore' a general tendency to require by law
that all wagons and other vehicles used in
transporting heavy loads shall be equipped
with tires OF specified width. A list of the
leading cities of the country shows that
most or them have ordinances which re-
quire minimum of one inch to the ton for
actual loads, while IN many of them the
specified width of tires is still greater
With the growing use of asphalt pave
ments, however, there is a general tend
ency to require all wagons that are used
10 convey ordinary loads to have tires not
less than three inches In width. while I'm
the cases OF extra heavy loads the tires
must be still wider. In this city there is an
ordinance which requires tires three inches
In width for all loads of 1900 pounds or
over, but this should be supplemented by
further requirement that extra heavy loads.
such as coal, stone, machinery, ETC., should
have tires four or five inches wide accord-
ing to the particular needs.

Indians Check Horse Canning Scheme

Yakima Indians have prevented The estab-

Yakima Indians prepared to buy as many

used at Linton. The Yakimas would not
consider such a price. demanding at least
SIS head for every horse they should fur

and Kimmon has returned to Linton to con-
