HEsrER,s REMARKABLE WORK.

Pitted against picked team of pro-
fessionals, four from Texas League.
two from Pacific Coast League, one
from Oklahoma, and a couple from
Pueblo. the New Mexico Military In
stitute pitcher, Hester, with his mar
velous twirling held the Amarillo
team to clever hits and no scores
during three of the finest games ever
PLAYED in Roswell. The record is an
extremely exceptional one. Pitching
three days in succession, the first day
only thirty men faced him, the e C
ond thirty-three, and the third only
thirty again. So perfect was his con-
troll that during the whole series only
one man secured first on balls. So
remarkable was his endurance that
in the last game he struck out twice
with less than one-half as many hits
as ne did in the first game. In the
first game there were five hits. the
second four, and in the last only two.
these few hits were well scat
tered, as was indicated by the fact
that only one man saw third base in
the three games.

REDUCTION IN THE
TERRITORIAL TAX LEVY

The Santa Fe New Mexican says:
the Seth Legislative Assembly pass
ed considerable wholesome legislation
even if it was Republican by an over
whelming majority. At any rate, ow-
ing to some of its legislation, Terrific
rial Auditor w. G. Sargent was ena-
bled to reduce the Territorial tax
levy for the 5Sth fiscal year, which
will m December the first
next, from fifteen mills or h dollar
to fourteen mills on the dollar. Facts
like this give the lie direct to the
false charges and lying assaults of
gang and the few Democratic weekly
papers which join them at times in
order to do injury and infict harm
upon the Republican party. If there
is no reduction in New Mexico assess
ments this year it will be simply the
fault of the people and of the condi-
lions of each county. Taxable proper
ty is increasing everywhere. and
taxes, thanks to laws passed by Re-
publican legislative assemblies, are
being more closely and more efficient
counted for than ever before in the

history of New Mexico. These facts
are too patent to be lied away OF to
be successfully .contradicted by the
Democratic papers and That newspa-
per coyote, the Albuquerque Fakir
Journal. Next year, should this Terri
tory be unfortunate enough to be in
territorial condition then, the good
will be still more apparent.
To be sure, it make very little diff
ference to the crowd that is doing
the lying about the Republican party
of New Mexico whether the tax as
sessments are great or small, big or
little; the ~gangsters either pay no
taxes@at all, or only Insignificant ones
compared with the property they
own. and the truest thing in their
cases is that the less they pay, COM
paratively speaking, the more they
howl and Ia more vindictive and I'M
justifiable are their attacks on the
Republican party, its newspapers and
it's officials"
The Record heartily agrees with
Col. Frost in two points in the above:
That there has been a tax reduction
for which we are duly thankfully and
that the gang" does moi pay any
taxes. We suspect that Governor Ha-
german has nosed into some rake-off
useless-hence the reduction. 1t is a
notorious fact that men with one
hundred thousand sheep or more
and land grants galore, who happen
to be 1T" in Republican councils,
nave not paid taxes for years. We
look for further reductions. Under
Governor Hagerman the people are
going to have an inning, and some
of the useless offices created by the
.beneficent Republican legislature will
be abolished. 1t might not be a bad
also to reduce the salaries of
county officers. There is no
eason why three or four officers
in the larger counties should eacn
draw salaries equal to the pay of a
United States senator or congress-
man. This is not the fault of the men
who hold these county offices. and in
county Democratic officers profit
by the extravaganza of the legisla-
it is hard on the people
who foot the bills. There is not an
office in any county in New Mexico
would not find plenty of compe-
n responsible men willing to
fill for twenty-five hundred dollars

Former Birmingham Man Buys Home
 In Marengo County.

Linden. February 22.-(Special)-B. H. Mccoy, a former resident of Birmingham, but now of Plant City. Fla, has been here for several days, but left for Plant City on the train yesterday morning. MT Mccoy has bought the beautiful home of Circuit Clerk c. B. Cleveland, right in the heart of the town, and will re- move his family here some time in April He was reared in this county, but went to Birmingham in the days of his early manhood and was member of fthe po- lice force there He married Miss Co., lumbia Webb, daughter of the late J. B. Webb, who was quite a large holder Of Birmingham real estate. They moved to Marengo county some years after mar riage. but removed to Birmingham and thence to Plant City, Fla. At the death of MT. Webb Mrs. Mccoy became pos sessed of her fathers vast property in- terests in Birmingham and also In Florida. It is needless to say that their friends here will welcome them back home again. But there is general regret that their eldest daughter Miss Annie, will not come with them. There are stronger tleS III "iiith hiA'S hNN be severed. Cards have been received here announcing her marriage to Vivian Collins, prominent young druggist or Plant City, which happy event Is to oe- cur on the 9th of March. Miss Annie has visited friends and relatives here since she became grown and won many triends. Personally she Is typical Southern beauty and possesses rare traits of ex- cellence.

CHILDREN HAVE NEVER
 EVEN SEEN A TEACHER

It is however, becoming better all the time in these parts of the state and the authorities feel that ere long there will be better conditions.
 The following figures will be of interest as showing the number of teachers hold ing authority to teach and those using such. There are now 77E certificates in force in the state, none of which can expire before July 1. At that time the new examination will come along and there will be four hundred more to come in than will expire. At about the same time the summer school at Tuscaloosa will be on and that will get out at least 150 more. Of this number 630 are for life; 1881 first grade, good for six years; 2i5S second grades good for four years, and 33O3 third grades, good for two years. By the reports of the county super intendents there were teaching on October last, 5399 This shows considerable difference from TIT.
 These figures do not take into con- sideration forty-eight separate districts and the county of Mobile, which are not reported in the general returns to the state superintendent. These separate districts take in cities like Montgom- cry, Mobile Birmingham, which have their own examinations. Likely they are in the same ratio increasing the number of those who might teach. but do not. It is the hope of the state superintendent that all those who can teach will be given places for the state needs the edu- cation that they have been declared able to mpart.

 All the work of the escape must have fallen upon Jim Coleman. for Harris right hand was paralyzed and badly drawn. The escape was well planned, though it Is not known where or how they obtained an implement to cut through the brick wall. They must have worked with desperate haste to cut the hole in the short time Deputy Seals was at supper, though they did not take time to cut a very large hole, the mar vel of all who have seen 1t today being that two men, one weighing 155, the other 150 pounds, could squeeze themselves through so small hole. Coleman was under sentence to hang. awaiting the ac- tion of the supreme court for the mur- der of Charles Waller, colored. Harris was also charged with murder but had not been tried.
 Mrs Arnold of Philadelphia, the guest of Mrs. Leila Otts is being driven over the county this week by l.. V. Otis for the purpose of studying the negro as he really is at home. Mrs. Arnold has no acquaintance with the negro save with the samples seen in our northern cities. When she returns from this trip it is safe to assert that her idea of "our brother in black" will differ very mate rlally from. any preconceived notion she may have had.
 E. W. Pedigo of Glasgow Ky. has re- gently purchased a lot from C. E. Latl- mer and at an early day will begin to build feed and sale stable on it. He will make Greensboro his home.
 Charley Rawls leaves today for sec ond trip to New York to bring south more foreign laborers for his neghbors and friends. If this scheme succeeds after fair trial it promises to revolutionize thing in the south. Persons in Greens boro have commissioned MT Rawls to make inquiries in regard to bringing white servants here MT.

Montgomery February 22.-(Special9z The fact that there are two thousand teachers in Alabama with certificates but engaged in other work, shows that the profession is not profitable in the state and that men who are big and healthy and strong can make more digging coal than they can teaching There are dis tricts in the state, backwoods locali- ties, which have no schools for the req son that they have no place for the teachers to live. One county superintend- ent wrote not long ago that there were children in his county who had not seen a preacher in all the fourteen years of their lives. let along a school teacher. Of course this is rare, but it illustrates the needs of the state along school lines.
 There are communities in the state where teachers are paid not over 80 a month for five months in the year, and that at the time of year when they can find plenty of work at something else with more salaries if they are any good at all.

WAS TAPPING SELMA MAIN

Selma, February 22.-(special)-That familiarity breeds contempt was amply demonstrated today in the fate of negro. Perry Campbell by name, who went to his death from gas asphyxiation. Campbell has been in the employ of the Selma Gaslight company and it's success sors ever since the days when gas lamps furnished the only illumination for the streets of Selma. In fact his were the hands that used to light the dim lamps when the darkness of night began to shadow the earth and his hands again turned out the lights when Phoebus arose from his bed in the east.
 This morning while attempting to change the connection from an old main to the newly laid gas main on Selma street, Campbell was overcome by the fumes and was found in lifeless con- diton The Selma Lighting company has just finished putting down new mains on Selma street. The tap into the residence of M R. Jarvis was being changed by the negro and the pipe he had cut was too short. The fumes therefore escaped and he was overcome. It is estimated that he had been under the influence of the gas fumes a half hour before he was discovered.
 Knocked Insenslble.
 Yesterday afternoon Jim Evans, colored, was knocked in the head and thought for a while to have been killed by Alfred Jordan, another negro. The two had a dispute on Sylvan street and Jordan -laxy-fo foItr r ling and swinging it around his head landed it with full force on the jaw of Evans, knocking him, as a bystander said, sensible" The negro did not re- gain consciousness for some time and the report was current that he had been killed Jordan was arrested and will an- swer to the Mayor on Saturday.
