INTERESTING
VIEWS OF VERY
Interesting Visitor on Our
City's Ownership Of
Water Supply.
TALKS ON OTHER LOCAL THINGS

Judge Thomas S. Roddy and wife
of Meadville, Pa, left yesterday fol
their home. after a couple of days
visit to their many years friend ant
former townsman. DR.. f, T. Lashells
They had been in attendance upor
the Lewis and Clark exposition a.
Portland, Ore, and were maktns
their way home by easy stages. stop
ping frequently, and at the more i'm
portant towns along the way, as the
Judge Is anxious to make selection OF
a winter home, in a place which is
attractive in climate, people and APP
pearance, and which offers opportu
nifty for profitable investments. They
purposed to stop at Santa Fe and Las
Vegas on their way out of the terri
tory.
Judge Roddy has been much in pol
itics in Pennsylvania, making his first
essay upon that troubled sea as an
opponent of Senator w. H. Andrews.
In this contest Senator Andrews car
ried off the victory. The judge spoke
very highly Of the New Mexico dele
gate to congress, and expressed his
confidence that he will come out all
right in the war which certain Penn.
~sylvania parties are now waging
against him, and which the judge at
tributed entirely to political reasons
Though his first effort was crowned
with defeat, Judge Roddy has always
taken so active an interest in local
matters that for the last twenty-five
years he has usually held some inn
portant office in his own city. he was
the promoter and leader in the fight
for municipal ownership of the water
works in Meadville, which he won.
after a long and bitter contest, in
which the courts were often called
to decide questions. He was made
q member of the first board of water
commissioners. and for the longest
term, holding the Office until the city
council decided to abolish the com
mission and manage the system by a
supervising committee of councilmen.
1t is, needless to say that Judge Roddy
is an earnest advocate of a city own
ing its own water supply, which, he
says, has proved a popular success n
his home city.
The judge was greatly surprised at
what he learned about the fruitful
ness of all agriculture in this section.
He looked over Albuquerque rather
thoroughly, visiting several of her in
situations. For the first time in his
life he saw gambling running wide
open, though he is 65 years old. He
was f~avorably impressed with Albu-
querque and expressed confidence in
her becoming a large and important
city in a few years, provided she can
secure additional railway connections.
In this Rnnnpnfinn he pNnTaCSa al the
hope that the present trouble of the
Enterprise bank of Allegheny, Pa,
will not prevent the building of the
Albuquerque Eastern, the completion
of which he said, would be of vastly
more benefit to this city than state
hood could pessiblyrbe. S~%

Quite a Change.

An old timer who remembers in
Lancaster her first short dress re-
marks in this manner: I've about
decided that old Lancaster is getting
to be a matter of ancient history.
When we cooked our grub over
a sage brush fire we could get fat
and fight Indians. but now we fill
our digesters with the cold pixon
and pewter of the canned peach;
we go to a big tavern and stick a
towel under our chins and eat pie
with a fork and heat up our car
kisses with anti christ coal, and
what do we amount to? Nuthin!
mo, we don't have the fun we
used to. We have more swarrees
and sciatica and one bloomin' thing
and another of that kind, but we
don't get one smout of pure air and
appetite in year They're bringin'
in their blamed telephones now and
malaria and aigue and old sledge,
and fun might as well skip out.
Yes. and some of the high ways
where once the hopefuls marched
with long-handled picks and shovels
are now alleys lined with empty
beer bottles and rusty peach cans!"

MINES PROSPER.
and Enterprise Shafts Are
Paying Investments.

Since the first sale of lead and
zinc ore from the Enterprise mine
at Platteville the output of the
mine has been nearly two hundred
thousand dollars; and about a mil
lion pounds of lead ore have been
taken out besides the zinc ore.
At the Empire mine, the other
large producer of the Platteville
country, there has been paid in $50
for each share of stock. Since that
time dividends have been declared
amounting to $50 for each share,
and it is expected that the January
dividend will be sufficient to reim-
burse each share holder in full.
From all appearances the monthly
dividends will be continued. Stock
in this mine is now valued at from
$3.50 to $500 per share.
Such results as these are what,
keeps burning the little flame min
ing interest in this part of the state
OF course there are many mines
which are not paying in this way,
but on the other hand it is prob
able that there are many pnde-
veloped properties of as much value
as these, which If located and prop
erly worked would produce like re-
suits.

THE CHILD IN..SCHOOL.
The Teachers Interest is to Give All
Her Pupils the Best Markings.

During the hours while a child
is in school, the teacher stands to
the child in the relation of a parent.
Do parents always think of this
when children go home with COM
plants about the teachers Do they
realize that if on insufficient ground
they take controversy, and en-
deavor to break down the teachers
authority, they are breaking down
their own authority at the same
time? The discipline of the public
school is as beneicial to the average
child as the study. Out Of the re-
gard of the child, the influence Of
the parent should, as rule be en-
ployed to keep the child in a frame
OF mind in which amenability to
the school discipline would be easy
and unquestioning. When child
complains of teachers markings
it is usually the wisest course for
the parent to argue the teachers
case with the child instead of as
Stunning without evidence that the
complaint is well grounded. The
teachers interest is to give all her
pupils the best markings which
their recitations will warrant. 1t is
no credit to a teacher to have the
reputation Of being unable to i'm
part instruction to the pupils under
her charge. Pupils who do not re-
celve markings sufficient to make
at the end of the term an average
exempting them from examination
may fail to pass. at the examina-
ton, with the result that they can
not be promoted when their com
rades are. 1t is reasonable to as
sumo that a teacher, animated by a
zeal for favorites and spite for
worthy, capable pupils, by the
practice OF systematically assigning
low markings for the latter to re-
tain them in her class after. those
for whom she feels personal pre-
ference have been passed or to an
other grade beyond her jurisdic-
ton? Ninety nine hundredths of
the stories injurious to teachers
which are carried home from school
rest upon basis of wild impro-
liability. Ninety-nine times out of
hundred, when the child complains
Of a teacher to parent, the par
ent will do himself and the child
service by taking the teachers part.
