DeminGs New riarhet Building.

Last Tuesday Mr.. Henry Meyers
moved his meat market into his new
building on the corner Of Gold avenue
and Spruce street. For seventeen years
Mr.. Meyers has been in Deming, and
in the old frame building where the
new one now stands Mr.. NJ. has fur
nished our people the best in the mark
ct in the way of meat, butter, eggs,
vegetables, fruit, fish and oysters.
Steadily, by fair dealing and correct
business methods, his trade has in
creased until new and larger building
became necessity.
Taking into consideration the GER
tainty that Deming is bound to become
one of the largest and most important
towns in New Mexico, and that soon,
none but first class buildings will be
permitted on our business streets, Mr..
Meyers has Just finished one of the
finest market buildings in the South
west and of sufficient dimensions to
meet the business demands of a town
of 10, 900 inhabitants.
The building is of brick. 25x6O feet,
with an entire glass front on Gold ave-,
and about 20 feet glass on Spruce st.
The building is finished throughout in
the latest style, the interior woodwork
is Of Texas pine with a natural wood
finish, with steel finished ceiling, fif-
teen feet above the floor. About ten
feet of the rear is partitioned for an
office and storeroom. The counters
are all deeply paneled, marble topped,
and will compare favorably in style
and finish with similar work in the
larger cities Of the east.
The brick and stone work in this
building was done by NJ. H. Thompson,
the carpenter work by the old and
reliable firm of Rosch & Luepold, the
electric wiring by the Deming Electric
Light Co., and the roofing, steel finish
painting and polishing by j. A. Ma
honey, who keeps small army Of
workman in his constant employ.
The erection of an up-to-date build
ing in Deming in its present condition
is not only an honor to the town but is
conclusive proof that the man who put
his money into it has an abiding faith
in the future of both town and country.
Knocking out old wooden shacks and
in their places erecting modern solid
business houses, will do more than any
one thing at present to attract business
men, and capital seeking profitable in
vestments.

the kind-hearted sailors, evidently re

water to reach his knees. Seeing that
the storm subsidized, they drew him

they threw him into the sea.

were as large as windows and lamps

er opinion, a great pearl suspended in
the entrails of the fish enabled Jonah
to see all that was in the sea and In the
abyss. The fish informed Jonah that
he was to be devoured by Leviathan.
Jonah asked to be taken to the mon-
ster, when he would save both his own
life and that of the fish. Meeting Le-

away a distance of two days. To re-

rEAATTHE CHINESE LEGATION.
A Washington Function Very Popular
with American Women.

There is one series of social func-
lions to which above all other enter
tuinments at the national capital lnvl-
tations are eagerly sought by women
residing temporarily or permanently
at Uncle Sans seat of government.
The events which so universally plque
feminine curiosity are the afternoon
tea at the Chinese legation.
Afternoon tea at the Chinese minis
teral residence is a most cosmopol'
tan function, not only in so far as the
guests are concerned. but with refer
ence to the receiving party as well, for
Mrs. Yung-Kwai is usually assisted by
bevy of bright American girls, whl.e
the minister's daughter and the other
Chinese ladies in the household inva-
riably appear in the costume of their
country. All their dresses, it may be
mentioned are fashioned from the
same model, with scant skirt over
tunic and jacket, in conformity to
fashion set by royal decree. The cos
tunes worn by the Chinese women at
lueSe AFTERNOON ledS are VI hidSihh-
cent silk, richly embroidered, and all
are made by Chinese tailor who is
connected with the legation.

A Monkeys Intelligence.

An extraordinary instance of the in.
telligence of a monkey in the Royal
Park, Melbourne, Australia, has been
chronlcled. A monkey in large cage
was trying to reach a nut which had
been thrown down on the gravel path
Putting its arm through the bars and
stretching as far as possible, it found
that the nut was just beyond his reach.
There was straw on the floor of the
cage, and going to the back, where it
evidently expected to find the straw
less damaged, it tested straw after
straw, dlscarding them one by one, not
thinking them strong enough for the
purpose. At last IL found a satisfac-
tory one, returned with it to the front
of the cage, and very quickly, with this
aid, hooked the nut close enough to be
picked up.

HISTORY MUST BE REVISED,
If All that Reads UnfavorabIy Should
Be Stricken Ont.

lie stricken OuI.
Since 1885, when the great and gen
eral court declared Roger Williams to
be unfit for fellowship and banished
him from the state, there have been
seven different petitions to have the
edict revoked. All have received the
Endorsement of religious as well as po-
litical leaders, yet there has never
been sufficiently vigorous expression
Of public sentiment to bring it about.
The last petition bfore the Legislature
represented all shades of religious
feeling. 1t was signed by descendants
of those who had been instrumental in
driving Roger Williams to Rhode ISL
and nearly 300 years ago. But tradi-
ton is powerful, almost sacred, and
what has gone on the statute books
stays. The failure to repeal any law
that has long been useless is an exam
pie Of the same kind.
In view Of such facts, it is some
what surprising that there is going on
now another movement to have the
name Of the apostle cleared. In spirit
the people of this State respect the
memory of Roger Williams as deeply
and as sincerely as the citizens Of
Rhode Island or of any other New
England commonwealth. The persons
who are determined to have the bar
removed appear to be endowed with
much Of the unquenchable enthusiasm
of Williams himself, which enabled
him to conquer in spite of all obstacles
and persecution. The leaders of the
new movement are now circulating |"
petition at all the watering places In
New England, and after signatures
have been obtained here it will be sent
to st. Louis for the approval of all the
New Englanders who visit the Worlds
Fair, and thence to different sections
In the West where puritan sentiment
Is strong. 1t is hoped to have the
names of 1000 men and women OF
prominence in this State alone, and
many more names from Massachusetts,
and New England people in other parts
Of the country.
However, the edict against William
was not peculiar to the times. Other
fearless thinkers in politics and theol'
ogy were banished. If we are going
into the matter Of erasing from our Of
fetal records everything that reads un-
favorabiy now, our whole history will
need to be remodeled, revised and ex-
purgated. The temperament of pnri-
tan times was cold, 'stern and bricky.

Many Changes Made In Names of Old
and Familiar Offices.
The PostofIice Department has been
playing havoc with the old familiar
names of offices throughout the coun-
try. 1t has been obliged to discontinue
the mail service at New York. To be
sure, it Is not the New York of the
Great White Alley who's postal facili-
ties have been cut off, but a town of
somewhat smaller size, in the State Of
Iowa. 1t has also been the unhappl-
ness of the people of Rock Branch. In

postoffice, and the records have been
transferred to Correctionville. Ominous
name! Let us hope the records ara

In Michigan the department has
amended the name Saut de ste. Marie
into Sault Sainte Marie, and it has
established the offices of Racy and
Rescue. In Minnesota that noble Of
flee known for years as Proctorknott
has been shorn Of its final syllable, and
the famous orator is known only by
his Christian name upon the mailing
lists now. Skog is a new name in Min
nesota, and good one. In Mississippi
Chunkeys Station has been trans
formed into Chunky. In Oregon Needy

in Pennsylvania Arcadia has been es-
tablished.
In the Philippines Masbate has been
discontinued. Equality has been estab-

pseudonym. Virginia has new Dot,

SUICIDE AND INSURANCE.
Part of Risk, Although 1t Is Not Fig
ured On as Possibility.

Fart OF Rtsk, Although 1T Is Not Fig.
ured On as Possibility.
r. II. Plant, Macon (Ga.) banker
who wrecked his health and his bust
ness by overwork, finally settled mat
tiers with his numerous creditors by
committing suicide. the insurance on
his life aggregating $1,O15,OOO. A dis
patch says that the bitter feeling
against him on the part of the public
has subsidized since his death, but it is
safe to say that the insurance COM
panies do not share in this sympathet-
ic forgiveness.
However, insurance companies that
take such great risks on a single life
necessarily have to consider the posi-.
bility Of suicide. Life insurance re-
verses the old injunction of the law.
The seller, not the buyer, must be
ware, and singularly enough the ten
dency is toward the elimination of all
restriction on the conduct of the in
sured.
The possibility Of suicide is careful
ly considered when the policy is is
sued, and the companies take no risks,
unless there is the strongest of pre-
sumptions that the insurance is not
desired for the purposes to which Mr..
Plant devoted himself.
Nevertheless instances Of suicide for
insurance money are by no means I'M
common. Not long ago another South
ern business man who found himself
financially embarrassed went to st.
Louis, bought $4,000 in twenty-four
accident policies leaped from the train
on the way home and was killed. The
policies had to be paid.
Suicide is part Of the risk Of life in
surance, and the companies make no
mistake in assuming that, in a general
way, the desire to live is infinitely
stronger than the desire to pay debts
or provide for the support of a family.
