pedestrian takes to the ditch he is likely to be thrown down. Not long ago a gentleman and lady were walk ing when a wheelman sailed around a corner and yelled Get out of the way Or I'll run you down" There are num- erous instances of this kind and the only way to regulate things is to break up the practice entirely until there shall again arise some Legitimate excuse for turning the walks over to the wheelmen.
 Due notice has been given in all the papers, in fact was given before a but the people would not heed it each one believing he was cute enough to escape. Many of them did no doubt but there is no lesson teaches like the one that takes the dollar out of the pocket. And in the enforcement of the ordinance for q thorough breaking up of the practice. the officers can have no favorites. They propose to arrest every person caught in the hope that it will not be long until there will be nobody to arrest No wheelman ad- mits that he is the needless or care less rider; it is alwa--s the other fel- low and the only way is to make 2 clean sweep.
 A good illustration of just how hard the public dies, in a matter of this kind is in the vicinity of the Presbyterian church. Wheelmen have for long time made a practice of cutting off a few yards by riding across two side walks and along the pathway made by pedestrians in the rear of the church, from Third avenue to Adams streer. Various barriers and notices were put up but to no avail. On Saturday the marshal caused the digging of a ditch in the alley which cut the path at one end and another ditch across the front end of the lot on Adams to cut the path there. But the wheelmen by force of habit. some of them at least, dis mount and cross both ditches thus los ing more time in a mad effort to break the law than it would take to ride around the church the other way. Fearing that somebody would break his neck in trying to ride across n the night the marshal hung a lantern up Saturday night but even then he was too late to save one or two who took beautiful headers in the twilight.

NEW MFXICANS
 AGAINST J0INIURF
The Testimony Of a Man Familiar
 With Their Sentiment.

A man who has been engaged in various mining enterprises in New Mexico for several years and Is well acquainted in all parts of the territory is no wstopping in Phoenix. He said regarding the statehood question that he believed the proposition would be defeated more overw wlelminlgIy there than in this territory. In he so- called Mexican counties and most of the counties in that territory come under that class. the sentiment against jointure is almost solid.
 The statehood movement in New Mexico, he says, is confined to a con siderable part of the American ele- ments and it is by no means unau- imCus on the subject. Comparatively little is heard of the native sentiment while the jointure sentiment is wide ly advertised, leading the uniformed to believe thar the whole territory wants joint statehood.
 Nearly all the prominent leaders of the Mexicans are known to be against it and they are the ones who will manage the voting. Loud bowling will cuu little figure in any election which may take place on the question.
 This mining man believes that the American element is pursuing a short sighted policy in urging jointure. for he said. that if by any miracle the joint state would be formed, the Mex jeans would in the begining take con trol of it and conditions would be worse than they are now. This man says that all industries except coal mining and railroading are in a more backward state than they were ten years ago. and that the American pop ulation Of all the towns except Albu- querque. Las Vegas and Silver City. nas fallen off within that period.
 The Mexican influence even under the supervision of the congress of the United States has been stirling and would be much more so if that in fluence would predominate in the state.

THE IDEAL WIFE 1
Shapes the Destiny of Men-The Influence of :
 Healthy Woman Cannot Be Overestimated.

SeYen-elghthS of the men in this world marry a woman because she is beautiful in their eyes because she has the quail ties which inspire admira- ton, respect and love.
 There is a beauty in health which is more att tractive to men than mere regularity of feature. The influence ok women glorious in the possession of perfect physical health upon men and upon the civilization of the world could never be measured. Because of them men have attained the very heights of ambition because of them even thrones have beer established and de- stroYed.
 What 8 disappointment, then, to see the fair young wife's beauty fading away before a year passes over her head! A sickly, half dead-and-alive woman, especially when she is the mother of a family, is a damper to all joyous ness in the home, and a drag upon her husband.

THE SIDE WALKS
 ARE FOR WALKERS
The City Marshall on the Enforce ment of the Bicycle OrdiaanCe.

The purpose of City Marshal Kinney to stop the practice of bi- cycle riding on the sidewalks is beginning to leak into the public mind. There was only one arrest on Saturday night and that unfortunate was a woman. There were probably some other violations but the police cannot be evrywhere and can only catch those they see. However the fact that the.- see fewer and fewer vio- lations every day is proof that the cru sade Is having it's effect.
 The marshal has been taken to task Q little by some of his friends for thus vigorously enforcing the law but he can see no other way to do. He says he has TO desire to arrest anybody or to be unreasonable but it is only hu- man for the public to abuse a privil- ege and that is what it has been doing in this respect, to the limit that it has to be stopped. One man asked the marshal yesterday if this was merely a spasm of good government and the question gave the officer a chance to say something. He said that the en- forcement of the bicycle and other minor ordinances had been sOmewhat spasmOdic and for very good reasons. In the first place such regulations are not made on the assumption that those who violate them are criminals at heart, but are merely for good admin . istration to do the most good for the greatest number The marshal said the enforcement of the bicycle ordln- ance had been undertaken with vary ing success at various times. It was originally intended to break up the common practice of riding on the walks .r q limbs of those for whom the sidewalks were made. most notably children and elderly people. There is danger though 10 anybody who turns a dark corner at night, when the walks are generally appropriated by bicycle riders many of whom are careless as to where or how they are going. The ordinance nas been enforced at times until the prac- tice was well broken up.
 After that there was no attention paid to an occasional or a thOughtless infraction as the police have no desire to be mean or irritating. Finally there came a long period of very muddy weather about a year ago It was aG- most impossible to transact business with all bicycles out of commission and it was equally as impossible to ride on the streets a good part of the time.  people who almost had to ride on the walks. But the privilege was abused and when good weather came again most people having formed the habit of riding on the walks. thOushtIessIy or heedlessIy continued it. There were occasional arrests of fragrant cases and frequent announcements in the papers. But the marshal said the peO- pie seemed to think he was too good natured to take notice of anything. Eos only the careful people rode on the walks, but the evil minded and surly people acted as though they owned them. During the last few weeks there have been frequent reports to the po- Ice of children being run down either accidentally or carelessIy and Occas:on- ally a grown person is thrown to the ground by a needless wheelman. Some times school girls will come down a sidewalk three abreast and unless the
