DRINK FROM THE FOUNTAIN
aDrinklns From the Ditch" VIII Soon
Be An Ancient Custom.
PUBLIC INVITED TO DRlNEWITH THE NEWS

Now that the smoke of battle
has cleared, and apparently all
have had their chance for eX-
messing an opinion upon the
drinking from the ditch plan,
We wish to offer the following
soIution of the whole PROPOSE
ton.
We have used the expression
Of helping Others to help them
selves" and the way to accom-
nlish this is to Immediately
build splendid fountain at the
intersection of Tenth street and
New York avenue, where both
man and beast may at all times
sIakc their thirst with the purcst
water in the world.
There is very ample room at
the point suggested for the build
inc of a very beautiful fountain
which will provide for drinking
basins for teams on the north,
west and east sides OF the foun-
tain, and the south side will
provide for Il public drinking
outlet. which will be so arranged
as to pressure, that there will
be no necessity for the use of
cups or other drinking vessels,
and thus do away with any pos
sibility of contagion through
this source, which has always
been the objection to public
conveniences of this nature.
The fountain will be carefully
designed and the central feature
will rise to height of probably
seven or eight feet above the
street level and will be sur
mounted by magnificent group
of growing flowers and trailing
vines. and will attract the pleas
ed attention of every visitor,
and can be plainly seen and ad-
mired from the trains at the de-
pot.
The News will undertake to
raise every dollar needed for the
purpose, will see that suitable
design is adopted and that the
whole undertaking is carried to
successful and very early conf
pletion, and that the fountain
when completed will be an
ornament to our town and mat
ter of pride and satisfaction to
all concerned.
In the limited time that has
elapsed since the plan was first
thought of we have secured sub
scrIptions which will insure the
success of the enterprise.
As this is for the benefit Of
the entire town and adjacent
nelghborhood we feel that every
citizen of Alamogordo and every
resident within ten miles should
be a willing contributor to the
fund, as each will be directly
benefited.
For the purpose of making it
peoples undertaking, we print

Placing the Resp ns;bility.

For six months or more the drug, gist's assistant had occupied his leisure moments by writing verses for the will lage paper, in the poets corner" of which publication they appeared anony- mously every Thursday, says the Youths Companion. On opening his copy of the Weekly Bugle one morning, and. turning first, as was his regular habit, to that particular corner, he was surprised and gratified beyond meas ure to see his name in full appended to his latest poetical outbreak.
 He hastened to call at the office of the Rugle.
 ''Nii. Stires," he said to the editor, q want to thank you for signing my name to my poem in this weeks paper. It encourages fellow when he gets proper credit for his work"
 "Oh, that's all right. Jobson," re. sponded the editor. We thought was about time to place the responsi- bility for that poetry where 1t be. longed"

other colleges, as runners-up. Mike Murphy has built up a splendid team to fly the red and blue, and Pennsy's supporters are so sure their pets will pilfer with the plum that they are already storing si- moleans down deep i'll their jeans for a big plunge. That the young Lochinvar from out of the West is going to cause Q shake-up in the calculations goes without saying, for Michigan will not only have a finger in the pie, but a whole hand as was demonstrated at the last meeting. The prevailing opinion west of the Alleghanies appears to be that the Wolverines will cap ture the meet. Mickigan's entry into the struggle is felt most keenly by the Corne1ls. Michigan has a sterling string of distance men in Ramey, Maloney, Rowe and Coe, and that these men will be placed is not to be doubted. Most of the teams, with the exception of Yale. have shaped some fine form.

Tho Pull" and the Job.

Business men are constantly being pestered by young men who seek posi- tions through letters of recommenda- ton, often in the form of personal re- quests from fellow business men. One may we'll question whether these let ters have any great pulling power after all The Saturday Evening Post tells of such an instance. After being very politely dismissed by several managers with the stereotyped express sion that there was not a vacancy at present, the young man tore up the let ters and went back to the place last visited.
 "What can do for you now?" the manager asked in an annoyed tone.
 Pardon me-" said the young man. ''but I've just torn up those letters. Could you give me job on my own hook?''
 The manager looked amused and said: We need a young fellow to chip castings in the machine shop at $6 2 week. If you like, you can have that until something better turns up."
 "Yes, sir," replied the job hunter I'm ready now"

SURE CURE FOR
 4 TIRED FEELING
Show at the Majestic NeXf Week lS q Tap-Liner and Certain Ian9h ProyOker, Says q Fort
 smith Paper.

If you are afflicted with a chronic crouch or see the world thugh blue lenses go to Electric Park some night this week, says the F. Smith Aneri- can. You will loose the grouch and the world will look different. But go prepared. It will he necessary to let out reef in your laughing appar- atus. For the bill this week is some- thing tbat is all to the good. There isn't a weak spot in it. There is a movement, dash, and swing to the entertainment that carries an audi ence with it.
 The show is given by the Fritz Comedy Company. The "Trifers' is the name of the piece, and it is writ ten solely to cause laughter. The writer had no otber mission than to cause the disabilities of the hearers to be tickled and to keep them that way throughout the evening. That he succeeds in his effort, can safely be left to the big attendance that went to the Auditorium last night, and went away delighted, and more than likely with the determination to see the performance again.
 And the specialties that are in troduced are worth the price alone. They are something extraordinary. The choruses are particularly good. They show training. Their evolH- tions are free from hesitancy and the intricate movements are ex- ecuted with a procession that show long and painstaking drilling.
 Unquestionably the bill this week is one of the strongest that has even appeared in local vaudeville. That Fort Smith appreciates talent and is prepared to show it's ap preciation to the efforts of the man. agement of the park to please will be determined this week in the at tendance that is accorded. To re- fuse to patroni1e a show such as is now at the Auditorium, will show conclusively that the Fort Smith theater-goers have not as yet been educated to the really good things in vaudeville.
 The Fritz Comedy company comes to the Majestic theater here next week.

oussn Sophia and Bismarck.

Qussn Sophia and Bismarck.
 Queen Sophia of the Netherlands, the first wife of King William III. of Hol- land, was too great friend of Elm peror Napoleon I11., the Empress Eu- genie and of France generally to take kindly to Bismarck. Before the big war of 1870 and probably some time after the Luxembourg sQuabble there was an international exhibition in Am sterdam, which the queen visited. She was conducted over the whole place by the committee, and as they came to . certain section one of the members said. "Now your majesty will see the greatest enemy of Germany" "Ah. Bismarckv' she cried. with some slee. The members stood aghast and never repeated this rash exclamation. The greatest enemy" he had to exhibit was not, of course, Bismarck at all. but only very much enlarged repro duction of either the phylloxerA or the Colorado beetle, which at that time did . great deal of harm to German asrl- eulture.-W estminster Gazette.

PENNSYLVANIA'S
 DIVIDEND

New York, May 31.-The pay ment of the usual semi-annual dividend of 1-2 per cent by the Pennsylvania Railroad company to- day has greatly alleviated the shortage of funds which Wall street has been experiencing The dividend puts $10,906,797 in the market. The shares outstanding are $6,232 ,455 and their value is estimated at SSH, ,602.350. On each share the dividend will be $1.75 at a par value of $40 per share. It is calculated by men in the financial strata that the divi- dend disbursements of the Pennsyl- vania Railroad company this month will be the largest outlay ever made by any railroad in the his tory of the world. Since the dec laration of the dividend in Novem- Der, there has accumulated much more outstanding stock. necessitat- ing 8 greater outlay on the part of the railroad company.

TAXABLE PROPERTY
 NOT INCREASED

Newport, R. l., May 31.-The tax assessors are finishing their re- port. One of the assessors says that the report will not show much of a gain in total valuation. In fact. he doubted if it would show any, because, while there are the usual additions caused by the build ing of new houses and improve ments, the city has lost through deaths and withdrawal of estates quite as much as it has gained in other ways. Moreover the gains that have been made, though quite as numerous as usual, arc in com paratively small sums.

FLIRTING WOMEN
 SPOIL SYSTEM Berlin Paper Calls Jury ill America a Farce Because of Feminine Influence Old Maids Catch Mischief
BEAUTY RULES HERE
Win With Their Eyes-American WO- men knVw How to Make Them- selves Pretty-Learn From Child hood How to Flirt.

Berlin, May 30-The daily paper, Deutsche Zeitung, insists that trial by jury in the United States is a farce The paper says that while a poor old maid or an old un- fortunate man will be punished severely at times for crimes they did not commit, pretty woman almost always goes free.
 Americans" says the paper, "are easily influenced by pretty women. It does not matter in what station in life the juror is or the woman who stands before him As long as she has pretty eyes, she is pretty certain of winning the trial. Then, too, American women know how to make themselves pretty. They learn from childhood how to tlirt, and this helps them when they get in trouble in later years.
 Every jurist can, perhaps, re- call numbers of famous cases of women murderers who were ac- quilted by juries on account of their dimples, bewitching eyes, pretty lips and delicate hands, etc. In considering this, one can easily see that the jury trial in ..merica is farce.
 'Of course, We Germans are chivalrous, but we would never think of acquitting 9 woman charged with one crime or another because she is a woman or because she has pretty eyes"

by the Government in honor of the
great victory OF the American forces.

The first custom house ever erected
in America is also located at York
town. Within stones throw of the
Exposition site can be seen the re-
mains of the earthworks, thrown up
by the Confederate army in their
defense against the Union troops III
the battle of Sewell's Point. The
scene of the famous battle between
the Monitor and the Merrimac, is
also close by, the fight having taken
place only a few hundred yards out
in Hampton Roads, from the grounds
Of the Exposition.
These any many other points OF
interest that lire the shores of this
renowned harbor, together with the
varied water features of the Exposi-
ton, including not only the naval
display but motor boat carnivals,
yacht races and submarine contests,
will make it imperative for visitors
to the Centennial to make this
trip around the harbor, that has been
laid out by the water Belt Line"
before they can truthfully say that
they have seen everything in connec-
ton with this attractive Exposition.
The company is under the general
management Of H. P. McGarvie, a
well-known concessionaire, who has
made expositions a study. A unique
and valuable feature of his plan, is
that the tickets will be issued with
coupons, admitting OF stopover priv
ileges at any or all Of the points EN-
route, allowing the passengers 20
take any OF the following steamers
TO complete the trip The round trip
will start from the company's own
wharf on the water front Of Norfolk
and touch such places as Portsmouth,
Newport News, Old Point Comfort,
the Exposition grounds and back
again to Norfolk, and will in no sense
be on the order of the average "cheap
excursion but will be conducted
along the very finest lines, especial
attention being paid to women and
children, and no liquors being sold
aboard or rowdyism permitted.
Besides the regular belt line trips,
the company will operate daily ex-
cursions to such places as Jamestown
Island, the actual site of the first per-
manent settlement, where nothing re-
mains but the old ruined church tow
er, so familiar in history. Yorktown
already spoken of, and many of the
other interesting places in and about

THE WATER BELT LINE
An Attractive and Novel Method Of
Seeing the Many Points of Interest
In and Around the Waters of
Hampton Roads During the James
town Exposition.

Norfalk, Va.-Parallel to the old
old proverb, that Necessity is the
mother OF Invention is the newer
saying, that "Expositions are the
originaeors of novel ideas" The
Jamestown Ter-Centennial Exposi-
ton to be held on the shores ana
waters Of Hsmpto Roads, near Nor
folk in 1907, will be no exception to
and valuable schemes have been per-
fected, that will serve to both amuse
and accommodate the thousands that
will take il this celebration, which is
to commemorate the three hundredth
anniversary of the first permanent
English spe aking colony in America
Foremost among these attractions
at the Jamestown Exposition will be
the 'sWater Belt Line" an organized
company that will maintain regular
! schedule of steamers around and
about the waters 6 Hampton Roads
and the adjoining tributaries that go
to make UP the famous Underwater
Virginia" A Belt Line on land with
steam or trolley cars IS familiar to
almost every city but Water Belt
Line" operating steamers instead Of
cars is indeed a novel system OF
transportation.
Owing to the fact that the James
town Exposition will be the first cele-
bration OF It's kind ever held in this
country on deep water, there will be
assembled IN Hampton Roads this
year, the greatest naval pageant the
sembled navies of all of the repre-
sentative nations. at anchor in the
spacious harbor in front of the Ex-
position grounds, will include every
type of fighting craft, from the small
, est and most obsolete gunboat to the
largest and most formidable Man-of-
War, affording a splendid opportun-

strength of the various countries that
are to participate and to note the
progress in naval construction from
its earliest stages.
