THE NEW MEXICO FAIR.
The Event Of Albuquerque tor Next Week. Many Attractions for the
 Entertainment Ot Visitors,

WeTc CicClVu ioi lHc iWtHeN -SSN enth annual New Mexico Territori- al Fair associatoin. it was predict ed that the Twenty-seventh fair would break all records in extent and quality of amusement attrac- tions in sporting features and exhi- bits. in the amount of money used by the association in making the annual show.
 With the fair but a few days away, this prediction has been sure ly carried out. The fair, which opens October 7th. will be. in every way. the biggest event of the kind the southwest country has known. It embodies all the features that made the festival of the mountain and plain. in Denver, famous. It embodies all the features that made the pike at St. Louis. fa- nous. It will present agricultural and live st ,ck exhibits that will furnish liberal education along the line of the possibility of New Mexico and the southwest.
 In the first place. this years fair has had the money and it takes money to make fair. The All bureque business men started the ball rolling by subscribing cool $l0,000. As the fairs of recent years have been money maker in- stead of money losei. it is yet to figure out about how much money will be spent by the managers dur ing the six days. The officers this year are energetic young men. who are out to make record, and who have spread no effort to make it.
 The sporting program is a fair indication of what we may be look ing for during the big week at AL buquerque. Five baseball teams ar, already entered for the tourna- ment, with the prospects good for more. for which $l. 750 has been ap- porpriated.
 For the first time since the fair was organized. twenty-seven years ago. every harness race was filled within the time limit. There are six big harness races. four of these worth $l.00o each, the other two worth $500 apiece. For several of these race there are from nine to twelve entriess Heretofore, the largest number of entries has been from four to six. Also more run ming horses will be in Albuquerque for this years fair than at any two previous meetings.
 This condition denotes two things: first. that the reputation of the Annual New Mexico Terri torial fair has been firmly estab- lished; second. that the southwest ,untry is prosperous and has plen- ty of money to spend for it's amuse- ment.
 In addition to the racing pro- gram and baseball tournament at the fair ground each day will be the Coy Boy sports. The sports and drills by two full troops of United States Cavalry are under the personal supervision of Brig. Gen. Thomas. of the Department of the Colorado. A captive balloon will carry passengers from day to day, and on the final day of the fair, will sail away in an effort to break the record of Lieut.. Lahn for the Gordon Bonnet cup. There will be relay races Indian dances native Mexican sports and from daylight to dark the fair grounds will be literally crowded with events.
 The amusement attractions for the evenings in the down town streets are of more extenisve

To Clean Fur,

Strip the article to be cleaned of
Its stuffing and binding and lay as
neatly as possible in a fiat position.
Brush it we'll. Next warm some new
bran in pan, and stir it actively so
as to prevent it from burning. When
the bran has been well warmed, rub
it thoroughly into the fur with the
hand. Repeat this two or three
times. Shake the fur now and give it
another sharp brushing until it is
quite free from dust. Furs are usu-
ally much improved by stretching,
which may be managed as follows:
To pint of soft water, add three
ounces of salt; dissolve. With this
solution sponge the inside of the
skin, taking care not to wet the fur,
until it becomes thoroughly saturat-
ed; then lay it carefully on board,
with the fur side downwards, in its
natural position; stretch it as much
as it will bear and to the required
shape, then fasten with small tacks.
The drying may be accelerated by
placing the skin a little distance
from the fire or stove.

FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW
DuN'S WEEKLY SUMMARY
Lower Temperature Has Good Effect
on Retail Trading for Seas
onal Goods.

r. G. Dun 6 Company's weekly
Review of Trade" says:
Lower temperature and snow at
many points stimulated retail de-
mand for seasonable merchandise,
but retarded movement. Distribution
of heavy weight clothing, footwear
and other winter goods was very large
during the past week, reducing stocks
that 1t was feared would be carried
over on account of the mild season.
Wholesale and jobbing trade in dry
goods for spring delivery was also
liberal, many cities reporting this for
ward business in excess of all pre-
vious records. Much damage has
been done by floods, destroying prop
erty and restricting business, but
these drawbacks had only local
substantial net gain for the week in
all commercial channels.
Leading manufacturing industries
report q steady volume Of new busi-
ness, assuring full operation of plants
far into the future, and maintaining
high prices for all raw materials.
A gratifying steadiness Is noted In
the iron and steel industry, mills re-
ceiving a volume of new business that
readily sustains prices.
Strength is readily maintained in
primary markets for cotton goods by
vigorous demand and scarcity of
supplies for immediate delivery,
while in several lines there have been
further advances in prices.
Attendance of shoe jobbers in the
Boston market has decreased and in
another week the balance will prob
ably conclude purchases. Supple
mentary spring business has contin-
ued heavy, assuring all prominent New
England manufacturers of several
months, full operation of machinery.
There is no effort to force conces-
sions in prices, owing to the recent
advance of full cent In sole leath-
er.
Cereal prices advanced, especially
wheat, the rise starting in better
speculative demand and finding sup
port in some adverse reports regard
ing. foreign crop conditions. Move
ment to primary markets was restrict
ed by severe weather.

Witches Still Believed In.

Neglected by the powers, witches
ceased to be so notorious, but the be-
lief continued to exist, and does exist
now, in rural parts of Scotland and
England; and in England and France,
even in the towns, fortune tellers,
whether they charge a guine or a
shilling for their advice, are witches
under the terms of the old statutes,
and flourish abundantly, but as they
are not burned they are supposed by
superficial observers to have been ex-
terminated by school boards and cleo
trio lighting. The blacker sort of
witch who "overlooks" and casts
spells on man and beast may be found
in many rural regions north and
south. One of them was brought be-
fore a squire and ]. P. of my ac-

San Francisco.-William j. Burns,
the United States secret service agent
who trapped every member of San
Francisco's corrupt board of supervls-
ors into a full confession of their
guilt, is called .'the king of detec-
tives."
Although Burns has this interna-
tional reputation as a detective, it is
hard for his intimates to remember
always that Burns is detective.
Thus Francis ]. Heney, the prosecu-
tor with whom Burns has worked
through the land fraud cases in Ore
gon and in the San Francisco Doodle
cases, finds his associate a source of
continual surprise.

China Asks for Seeds.
H. S. GIvLER. Pu


Another proof of the awakening
going on in China is furnished by the
statement that the government OF the
Flowery kingdom has, through repre-
sentatives at Washington, applied to
our authorities for seeds and samples
of every variety of plant of recognized
importance raised in our country
China is on the search for desirable
crops, and apparently has learned
lesson by recent experience with
famine, due to the failure of products
On which the people rely for food
Nor is this all, says Troy Times
China will experiment with the prod
ucts of other countries as well, and
as she has a wide variety of soil and
climate there is no reason to doubt
that many new and valuable food arti-
cles will thus be secured. Further
more, in coming to the United States
she gets expert advice and friendly
and effective cooperation. The de-
partment of agriculture has labored
long and successfully in the same di-
rection and has done vast amount
of valuable work in developing and
improving crops. The hints borrowed
from Washington bid fair to serve
most beenficent ends in China.

One way Americans of the present
day have of honoring the immigrants
of the past was Illustrated last month
when a statue of Commodore John
Barry, the father of the American
navy, was unveiled in Philadelphia.
Barry was an Irishman, born in 1745.
1t was not till 176O that he reached
America as sailor, coming hele
from the West Indies. He was en-
ployed by Philadelphia merchants and
owned some ships in 1776, when he
was put in command of the Lexing-
ton, after volunteering to serve the
colonies on the sea. He captured the
first British warship taken by a rev.
olutionary cruiser. He had been in
America, or, more correctly, in bust
ness dealings with Americans, only
ten years when he began to fight for
them John Paul Jones, another OF
the revolutionary naval heroes, was
also an immigrant, but he began to
fight for US when his connection with
America and his interest in itS had
been much less than those of Barry
The foreigner to whom the land OF
the free hearts hope and home" has
appealed has nearly always beer
ready to take up arms in its defense;
and when he has done heroic things
the whole nation has applauded.

ers do-so it would be useless to

Burns methods all through the
Ruef case have been surprisingly open-
When he started out to capture Ruef
after his friends, the sheriff and the
coroner, had been pretending to
search for him in vain for a week,
Burns assembled his posse in half
dozen automobiles in front of Heney's
office; with Ruef's lawyers Offices but
half block away He had ten men
with him, but the open way with
which he went about the job made
the attorneys for the CRATER think it
must be all ruse, and no effort was
made to follow the party. They went
straight to the resort at the Troca-
dero in the outskirts of San Francis
co, where Burns knew that Ruef was
in hiding. Burns had the house sur
rounded; then he walked in and sur
prised Ruef at dinner He had his
man back at Heneys office within
three hours.
Surprising a Bribe-Taker.
OF his present work Burns himself
says: This San Francisco case is one
of the most interesting 1 have ever
had. OF course municipal graft cases
are all somewhat alike. You know
who the men are who have got official
favors. The first thing to do is to
single out the official who you think
will accept a bribe, and then get
at him by inducing him to accept what
he thinks is a bribe. Of course your
money is marked Then you surprise
him in the act. After that you have
him cold. Through him you get at the
bribe-givers.
When 1 started in on this work
in San Francisco l expected to get
after each of the supervisors singly,
but one of the newspapers got wind
of it and published the story how we
were working on one man. That spoil
ed things for us, and had to resort
to other methods"
What Burns had done was to induce
the proprietor of a skating rink who
had fallen out with Mayor Schmitz to
have an ordinance in his favor intro
duced in the board of supervisors.
Then he arranged to buy the vote of
one of them-Lonergan by name-for
$500. Burns was concealed in the
room when the marked money was
passed. He pounced forth at the psy-
Geological moment when Lonergan
was taking the bribe

I'll take the money, and I'll take

scared his man into complete con-
fession. Previous to this he had Sc
cured another confession from one of
Lonergan's colleagues who was i'll and
thought he was about to die.
A BoodIer Trapped.
With the inside information of these
two confessions Burns got to work on
all the other supervisors. They were
so scared that the whole Is came
through with rush. When Heney
