Mark Twain Writes a HumorousIy Sad Letter Explaining Why lie
 Can't Go.

Mark Twain was recently invited 10 revisit Reno, Nevada, and attend the Fourth of July celebration. The invi- tation stirred his memory of the days he spent in the Rockies in the early eos. although he found that it would be impossible for him to make the trip In replying to the invitation, ne recalled some of the memories ol ms experiences and showed that the lapse of time had not caused them to be- come dimmed. His characteristic com munication is as follows:

A STRIKE AT GLENDALE
A Temporary Paralysis of the Fruit
 Handling Industry.

An industrial unrest which has been existing at Glendale, yesterday cuImi- mated in a situation which the local authorities were unable to control. There was a strike among Charles J. Sanichas' fruit handlers. The strike originated among the cutters and was followed by sympathetic strike among the pickers. In all about sev- enty cutters and pickers quit work attempted an assault upon the super intendent and assaults were made upon some who refused to stop work.
 Justice Bunch and Constable Bivens undertook a restoration of order but there were too many of the strikers for two men to handle and the popu- lace whom they tried to deputize re- fused to act. Finally the strikers in a body hit the railroad track in the direction of Phoenix. The officers threatened to follow them here and also to arrest the citizens who declin- ed to assist in making arrests.
 MT. Sanichas. who returned last night from the scene of the disturb ance, said that the strike was confined to the Mexican element. It came about in this way: An observant agi- tator got to sizing up the boxes and thought they were bigger than they ought to be. He communicated his suspicion to other cutters and they found that the boxes contained fifty pounds. Then demand was made for readjustment-eithe reduction of the size of the boz to thirty-nve or forty pounds or an increase of wages amounting to five cents boE. Neith- CT demand was acceded to aIl after palavering for day or two it was decided yesterday afternoon to strike and compel a cessation of operations which just as this juncture would be disastrous for fruit is ripening regard less of industrial conditions.
 No attempt was made by either side a arbitration. The MeXicans walked out and beat some of the cutters and

LIFE INSURANCE STRENGTH.
Marvellous Stability of the COmpanies as Proved ny the Recent UPheaval.

Men of conservative thought who may have regarded the claims of life insurance in the past to be the strong est financial institution in existence as being rather oVeTdTaWn are now noting the fact that the assertions in question were not eNagEerauons-
 For over four months one of the leading life insurance organizations of the world has been under meTciless scrutiny and criticism. No day has passed in which it has not been a theme of hostile newspaper attention in every part of the land and a good share of the time its affairs have been the paramount journalistic sensation of the hour. It has occupied the front page many day with a vengeance and has been attacked in and out of sea son to an extent never before eXper- fenced by any other institution of any sort Yet it goes right on with its at- fairs. meeting it's obligations to the extent of more than $700,0oO every week and maintaining it's imposing re- serve fund intact. What savings bank trust company. bank of discount and deposit. or other fiduciary institution except a life insurance company would do as much? The Bank of England could not have withstood such pro Iouged and savage siege without dis aster and ruin as the inevitable result Yet such is the inherent excellence of the life insurance system that this particular company keeps steadily at it's work with nobody. not even the most radical of it's assailants, ever ventUring to say that it cannot and will not meet every obligation as soon as due. and what Is Fr1ls in this case would be equally true of the standard American life organizations under like circumstances.
 The truth is that life insurance has been so evolved and developed as ta possess a financial strength beyond all comparison. Whatever it's errors may be. as revealed in the troubles of this one company. the towering fact re- mains that a mans money is safer in life insurance and more certain to be returned to it's owner or his duly spec flied beneficiaTies. than in anything human ability and foresight has ever yet perfected.-The Milwaukee Sentin- el May 16, 1905.

 No faeh ionabIe material is more sa- tisfactory for warm weather wear than mohair. inasmuch as it is light of weight, sheds dust and easily can be kept clean. for all of which reasons it was selected for the making of this very graceful and attractive skirt, but the season nevertheless is a generous one and the model can be made adapt able to many other fabrics as well.

NEW MEXICO GAINS
A PART OF TEXAt

Washington, d. c., Dec. 21. - The
secretary of the interior has sent to
congress the full report of Surveyor
Kiddoe, who spent several months
locating by astronomical observations,
the true boundaries between Texas
and the territories of New Mexico
and Oklahoma.
The report, which is very volumin-
Gus, shows that if these true lines are
adopted Texas will gain narrow strip
from Oklahoma along the Tooth mer-
idian, gain a trifie along the east half
of the parallel of SO minutes and 80
seconds, and lose the same amount
along the west half, lose 20 New
Mexico a strip ranging from two to
three miles wide along the 103d mer-
idian, and gain from the same terri
tory a strip a trifle over a hundred
yards in width along the 32d parallel.
This will take the Texas line almost
up to Anthony, but will hardly throw
Anthony into Texas.
The bill of Representative Steph-
ems, now before congress, provides
merely that the boundaries be re-
marked and straight lines surveyed to
cover that portion along the 1880
meridian which has never been mark
ed.

'fRISCO'S POLICE CHIEF
WRITES TO MCMILLlN
DOES NOT BELIEVE ALL THAT HE
READS IN THE PAPERS-CAN'T
STOP THEM FROM INTERVIEW
ING PRISONERS.

Chief of Police McMnlin has re-
ceiyed a communication from j. F.
Dinan, chief of the San Francisco po-
lice department, in reply to a letter
written recently by him relative to
the statements given the press of
the Golden Gate City purporting to
come from the accused thief, John
II. OFT, Jr., and in which the reputa-
tion of Policeman Thomas Jordan of
this city was assaileo unmerciruuy.
Chief Dinan said in effect that
their position in the matter was sim
ply TO prosecute the guilty party and
If possible recover the money stolen.
He said that possibly Chief McMillin
did not understand the position news
papers took in a large city like San
Francisco, where it was impossible in
cases like the OFT matter to forbid
them interviewing either prisoners or
private citizens Many of these inter
views. Chief Dinan said. were abso-
lutely untrue
I'VE shall be glad to publish any
statement originating from OFT or any
other person, that will aid any in
clearing M the case" said the chief,
in conclusion.
1t is to be inferred from the letter
that a large part of the sO-cllled con.
fessiOn OF OFT wherein he duplicates
Policeman Jordan in assisting him TO
hide the money here. was nothing
more than pipe dream" worked up
by some scribe in the coast city. with

Denver, Dec. 22.-This city expert
enced three severe shocks yesterday,
one of them being a suicide and two
of them murders.
Wednesday afternoon. but hot gem
orally known until yesterday Mrs.
Walter Booth, wife of the assistant
cashier of the Denver National bank,
killed herself at her home, shooting
herself just over the heart. She had
been in engaged in making prepara-
tions for Christmas, but during the
temporary absence of all others from
the house, committed the fatal act.
She had been a suferer for years
from nervous troubles.
Even a greater shock was when il
was learned that "Buttermuk Bfll,
cowboy named Hensley,. had the
night before, shot and killed William
J. Wilson, a well known millionaire
cattleman, and then had killed him
self. Hensley had a grudge against
Wilson, for whom he worked at one
time, which was of more than twenty
years standing, and the killing was
in conformity with threats often
made
The third shock was the news that
Frank l.. Scott, one of the best known
business men of Colorado Springs
and well known here. had been shot
down in the streets of that place, and
in the very heart of that city, by one
of two unknown men, while on his
way TO the train.

ENGINE CREW HAD
NARROW ESCAPE
Broken Steam Pipe Com
PEELED Them to Jump
From Locomotive.
FOUND LATER BY SECTION MEN

The accident which befel Engineer
Bowman and Fireman Clark, near
San Marcial, yesterday, brief partida-
lars OF which appear ed in The Even
ing Citizen yesterday afternoon, was,
it appears, a more serious mishap
than at first appeared.
Fireman Clark passed through AL
buquerque this morning on No. 10,
accompanied by Dr.. Besette, the
company's surgeon at San Marcial,
enrOute to the hospital at Las Vegas.
The Evening Citizen representative
learned that Engineer Bowman and
Fireman Clark were assigned to taAe
light locomotive from Socorro to
San Marcial where it was to under
go extensive repairs. When about
five m les east of San Marcial one of
the cumbersome tires on a drive
wheel became loose and jammed
against the ash-pan blower pipe. So
severe was the contact that the pipe
was broken at the boiler head which
sent a thick volume of steam into the
cab. The engineer and fireman were
unable to realize what had happened.
Gagged in like rats in a trap, unable
to even see, they suffered the terrible
ordeal such as receiving boiling hot
water and steam on the face, hands
and body will produce. While the
engine was bowling along at a lively
rate of speed both the engineer and
fireman plunged from their oven in
the cab to the open air. They knew
not where they We're going to land
because of the steam which blinded
them but anything was preferable TO
being cremated where they we're. The
engine with no hand to guide it
died" about a mile away, through
lack Of motive power, the break in
the ash-pan blower pipe soon reliev-
ing the boiler Of all pressure.
Some section men happened to
come along shortly afterwards on
their handcar. They saw the locomo-
tive standing dead on the track and
surmising that something had hap
pened to the crew, propelled the hand
car down the track until they discov-
cred the helpless engineer and fire.
man on either side of the right Of
way, Picking them up and placing
/ both men tenderly on the hand car
the section men made as fast time as
possible to San Marcial, where every
medical attention was given to the
unfortunate crew.
Both men were terribly scalded
and injured as a result of their head
long plunge from the locomotives
cab The fireman seemed to he the
most badly of, nearly every part Of
his body bearing ugly looking burns.
Engineer Bowman was painfully
scalded and bruised on the face, arm
and from the knees down. He was
removed TO his home in Socorro last
night in thesuperintendent's private
/ car
Il Is the belief of many railroad
men that the presence of the section
men in that vicinity was very for
tunate as otherwise the two men
might have died from want of medi-
cal care and from exposure before
their plight would have been discoy-
I cred.

BUT PROMISE OF HARMONY MADE

New York, Dec. 22.-During con-
test which continued from 9 o'clock
last night until nearly 4 this morn
ing, marked at times by bitter re-
elimination, but which concluded with
mutual pledges of support, the con-
troll of the New York county repub-
lican central committee was wrested
from adherents of former Governor
bert Parsons.
In recognizing the committee for
the coming year, Parsons was elect

pin and all of the other officers cho-
Sen were Parsons friends. The cleo
tion of Parsons was secured at 2:35

congratulated Parsons and pledged
him his support.
Tactics of delay were adopted by
the Odell faction as soon as the COM
mittee met, and these continued for
several hours. 1t is said that the mo-
tive for delay was to await the re-
suit of the speakership fight. Par
sons and his friends did not propose
to wait, and announced their inten-
tion of organizing the committee II
it took all night.
The first test vote came Just be-
fore midnight, on motion to adjourn
the election until January 4. The Par

There was a long fight over a con
tested election case and the Odell fac
tion was again defeated. Nomina
tions for office were then taken up
and officers and committees were
elected.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 22.-The work
men of two or three electric light
plants struck yesterday evening and
consequently the streets in the major
part of the city were in darkness
throughout the night, the inhabitants
being compelled to fall back on can

at several points.
During a tour OF the city the corre-
spondent saw dozens of workmen be-
tween soldiers with fixed bayonets,
being marched off to prison. Caches
OF arms and bombs were being seized
on Schlesselberg avenue yesterday
and a crowd of a thousand strikers
from the NeVsky works was charged
and dispersed by Cossacks, who used
the nat of their swords and whips
