FROM GLORY 10 GLORY.

One Of the chief educational tests of
Commencement week was pulled off,
yesterday at the Yale field, and. as
usual, Yale won. Three to two isn't
great, but It is great enough. Just
great enough, in fact.
Tomorrow will come another test, at
New London, and, as usual, Yale is ex-
pected to win there. OF course her rep
.resentatives are all weaker than they
ought to be, and some of them have
been more or less bunged up. But the
Yale spirit will animate the weak bodies
and the bunged-up ones, and it will be
hard for Harvard to overcome that.
So far the Commencement has been
SO uncommonly brilliant and successful
that it would be great pity to have
it's glory dimmed at New London. But
it will be time enough for great pity
when it is dirnmed. Until 1t is let us
root for and have faith in an undimmed

Railroad building in Brazil some
years ago was primarily fight against

said Thomas f. Cassidy, who was for
merly an engineer there, and he told a
strenuous story of how an anaconda
killed two men and frightened fifteen

AN UN1NrEREsrrSG h CBD 1BIR.

IN UNINIERESTTNG ~ ORD IRTR.
Well, said Judge Wofford, Of Kansas
City, to a man who had been brought
before him to be sentenced to death,
you're guilty of murder all right, but
you're a poor, ignorant black man, and
I don't want to hang you. You have
no friends. You have no one to plead
that you were insane when you killed
this man. If / sentence you to hang
you will hang just as sure as there's a
God in heaven. There will not be a
whole lot Of women circulating petitions
to save your neck. There win not be a
lot Of fool men writing letters to the
governor to save YOU. No one will send
you flowers; you'll just be forgotten till
the day set for your hanging, and then
they'll hang you. I'll sentence YOU to
thirty years in the penitentiary.
When one considers the general and
mushy mush that surrounds an Inter
esting" murderer, this action Of Judge
Wofford seems like a proper protest.
A man shouldn't be hung just because
he is an uninteresting murderer. If he
is hung at all it should be because he Is
a murderer.

THE CHURCH IN SPATN.

An anonymous but eminent Spanish
statesman has been expressing his optn-
ion concerning the present position and
influence of the Church in Spain. So
far as the bishops and parochial clergy
are concerned, it is, he declared, ex-
Extraordinarily weak. The bishops, in his
view, are Of little account, while the
clergy are uneducated, ignorant and for
the most part idle. In town and coun-
try alike they have lost control of the
men, they are losing control OF the chill
dren, ard thanks to the associations
civiles which pay funeral expenses,
they are losing control even of the dy-
ing. On the other hand, the religious
orders, he pointed out, are dangerously
strong. Recruited as they constantly
are from foreign sources, they are not
| Spanish at all, and have no Spanish
patriotism; they are the army of a for
eign power, Rome. The three chief or
ders, the Jesuits, the Augustinians and
the Dominicans, have a fine organiza-
ton, much money, and consistent pol
ley. This last is to get and keep con-
troll of the rich classes, and of the Off
GERS of the army In their three great
colleges they educate most young men
of aristoeratie family, and a state of
things exists in the army, he declared,
not at all unlike that which prevailed
in France at the time of the Dreyfus
| agitation. 1t was on this question that
| the Liberal party in Spain expects to
make its next fight. The occasion might
arise he thought, on the question of the
| appointment of those two important
functionaries, the Confessor of the
King and the Confessor of the Queen
| The Jesuits are already working hard
to secure these posts. They must be
defeated, he said, or it would be the
worse for Spain.

Il see that the mighty have fallen,

yesterday that cost his club the game.
Well, 1t is nothing more than I expect
ed, for have thought all the time that
he was getting entirely too much credit
for what he was doing, and he never
was the player some people thought he
was. Lakoie has had lot of advertis-
ing and hubbub raised over hina that
would make any man prominent You
can do that for a fellow, but then he
must make good to hold it, and that Is
where many of them fall down. When
man steps into the lime light and gets
the full glare thrown on him his weak
points are shown up. That is the way
it is with Larry. He is not up to the
standard that has been set for him by
the men who are touting him up SO
strong. 1t don't do to blow a fellows
horn too loud; you know there is an old
saying that you go up like a skyrocket
and come down like stick"
My home is in Cleveland" said the
man whose voice was nuf1ied by the
lather that was in his mouth, and up
there we think Larry is pretty good.

Meeker Brothers, merchants of Ca
ney, Kansas. who have several stores
in Kansas towns. have heen visiting
in the Valley several days w c.
Meeker left this morning for his
home. and viii Meeker will remain
four or five days. The brothers have
invested in Pecos Valley property to
the amount of $4,000 during the last
few days, and this speaks louder
tnan their words when they say they
are delighted with the country. it's
present conditions and prospects. OF
the amount invested one-half, or
$500 went into the beautiful Mil
heiser place, a mile and a half south
west of town. The Meeker brothers
bought their land through the Walker
and this company mas sold 100000
worth of property to other parties
since the last excursion.
The Pecos Valley, the one, great
oasis in the great Southwestern des-
ert, certainly has bright prospects
for the future. With such great int
crest shown every few days by such
men as the Meeker brothers. there
can be no doubt of the result. With
artesian water, and the benefits of

the Hondo, which will soon come in

TO expand in influence and prosperity
and its blooming like a rose" will
