Does Not Affect Calico.

Whether through ignorance Or in
tention we will not undertake to saw
the Kansas City Star, protection
hater makes a gross misstatement in
asserting that "the supreme court
holds that imported calico must pay
4 double duty" and that an extra cost
for calico gown will be the result.
The truth is the supreme court holds
nothing of the sort, and that the price
of calico will not be affected by 80
much as fraction of a cent. The
decision relates exclusively to fancy
or figured weaves and not to print
goods. 1t requires that fancy cotton
selling at 60 cents a yard shall pay
more tariff duties than plain cottons
selling at Is cents yard.

Where Some Writers Fail.

The most frequent defect in fiction
submitted for magazine use and, we
might add, in most of the fiction that
somehow gets published in book form,
is its lack of spontaneity in construc
tion and expression, says Harper's
Magazine The writer of this manu-
factured fiction has certain precalcu-
lated effect in view, with reference to
which he ambitiously contrives every
incident and situation of his story.
The harder he tries the more surely
he fails of any genuine appeal to his
readers. If he disguises his labor by
a facile mastery of dramatic material
and expression, he may succeed in
reaching crude sensibilities and, be-
cause of his lower aim, may outsell
his betters. The multitude is easily
captivated by splendid artifice, which,
in exceptional instances, has COM
PEELED the admiration of even the ju-
dicious. We shall find, however, upon
close examination, that in such in
stances the writer has not, by his
strenuous effort, wholly closed the
door against all spontaneity. In
our day polite literature must appeal
to human sympathies, and the
writer's fertility of invention is of
little service.

popular tailor is quoted as say
ing that the average college student
is the worst dressed man in America.
That may be true of some college
Students, but It doesn't correctly de-
scribe the sartorial adornment of
those in this vicinity. Their get-up
.may be generally described as more
natty than otherwise, though there
are exceptions to this rule. Occas-
ionally they affect an eccentriicty in
dress that is rather startling, says
Boston Herald For instance, in a
Cambridge car not long ago two
young men were observed who were
evidently Harvard students. They
were neatly arrayed in most respects,
but when they crossed their legs the
people seated opposite them noted
that they wore no stockings. X looked
like bit of bravado that students
sometimes affect.

DUN'S TRADE REVIEW.
The New Year Opens Bright with
Promise in Business Circles.

New York-R G. Dun & Co
Review OF Trade says:
The new Year opens bright with
premise in business circles, no exces
sive stocks being carried over, aanS
results Of inventories fully equal san
guine anticipations. 1t is especially
noticeable in dispatches from the west
that there was less than the custom
ary lull in business aiSer the holiday
season, while bargain sales are rap
idly disposing of the moderate sup
plies remaining on hand.
Many new contracts for large ton
mage of steel appeared during the past
week. Railway requirements show no
abatement, few contracts being con-
sidered, however, except for delivery
in the last half of the year.

AN HONORED
| CITIZEN GONE


There passed away In Deming
last Sunday evening at 7:30
O'Clock, the towns most promi-
nent and foremost citizen, Judge
Seaman Field, who died after a
long illness at the advanced age
of nearly four score years, hav-
ing reached his 18th mile post
last February.
Judge Field was born in Ellis
burg, N. Y, February q, 1929.
While still in his teens he went
to New York City, where he
began his business life as a
clerk. In 1S49 he moved to New
Orleans, La, and for ten years
travelled for q mercantile house.
In 1862 Judge Field enlisted in
the S3rd Texas Cavalry and rose
from the ranks 10 Lieutenant. Col
onel. After the declaration of
peace he returned TO New York
City, remaining there for eleven
years. In 1876 he moved to Tex
as and in 1882 to Deming. Two
years later he was appointed by
President Cleveland U. s. collec-
tor Of customs at Deming, serv-
ing four years, being, perhaps,
the only man who ever held that
Office without bond.
Retiring from the government
service he engaged in the real
estate and insurance business
and became actively identified
with the business interests of his
town, being at the time of his
death director in the Bank of
Deming and still retaining 9th.
er important business interests.
He was repeatedly called upon
by his home people TO serve in
public Offices Of honor and trust,
having served his county as
probate judge, and even to the
day Of his death was serving as
a member of the school board.
He was thus honored through
his whole life by reason of his
sterling worth as a man, his per.
severance and business sagacity
and his fidelity to duty in all his
walks.
Judge Field was a Mason and
had held high Offices in the lodge,
and it can be truly said his life
exemplifed the benefcent spirit
Of the craft.
He died one Of the most hon.
ored and highly respected citi
zens in southern New Mexico.
Judge Field was married ir
New Orleans in 1857 to Mis-:
MaGeie Clannon, who died Oct
Is. 1878. From this union nine
children were born, Of whom five
survive, who are Robt. Seth Field
of California; Jas. Clannon Field
of Texas; Jesse Bell Field, o.
New Jersey, and Mrs. John Cor
bett and Mrs. Nellie Quincy, o.
Demine. On the 9th day o.
February, 1881, Judge Field was
married to Mrs. Achsa Minis, o
Dallas, Tex. The result Of thi
second union was one son, Al
bert, Of Old Mexico.
Deceased, who was the las
survivor Of his family,is survive,
by his wife and six children, fou
of the children being present q
their fathers death.
The funeral was held at tn
residence Wednesday afternoo
at 2:3O, the services being cor
Quoted under the auspices of tn
Masons. The Gathering Of sol
rowing friends at the last sa
rites was the LARGEST of any ful
eral ever witnessed in DeminI

Following promotions Of teach
ers have been made:
Miss Golden promoted from
Bird grade to 4th, in place of Miss
Osmer, who had resigned. Miss
Raithel promoted from Mexican
department to 3rd grade work,
Mrs. Stecker being elected to
take Miss Raithel's place.
The position Of Miss Winifred
Martin, who resigned at almost
the opening of school as princi-
pal of the High School, on ac-
count of the death of her sister,
has not yet been filled, but the
board hopes soon to be able to Sc
cure a competent teacher for the
work. In the meantime Prof.
Doderer is arranging the work
so everything is going along
smoothly.
In all grades EXCEPT the High
School, the text books have been
changed from last year save the
grammar. About June 18th the
Territorial Board adopted new
text books according to the law
passed by the last legislature,
except the grammar, which the
board re-adopted, hence the
change. For violating this rul-
ing a teacher is subject to a fine
of $40 for each offense.
Following new pupils have en-.
rolled in the High School: Misses
Myers, of Cotton, CAL; Misses
Leona Walker and Myrtle Rabb
and Clyde Osburn, of Deming.
Out of esteem for the late Judge
Field, who was member of the
school board, the teachers bought
a beautiful floral offering at AL
buquerque. The school was ad
journed Wednesday, the day the
funeral was held.
There is every reason to believe
the present session of the Dem
ing public school will reap a mer
itorious success.
