MEXICAN VETS

ING CELEBRATED.
Congress VIII Be Asked to Declare
September "a Regular National
Holiday in Honor Of the Great Mex
lean Campaign.

San Francisco, September 14.-As-
ISOLATED Veterans of the Mexican war

the sixtieth anniversary of the last
battle of the Mexican war and the

the United States army and navy,
Veterans of the Mexican War, Span
ish War Veterans, and the Grand

A movement has been launched to
bring about regular annual observ-
ance of this day, and Mexicon war
veterans hope that September IA may
be set aside as regular national hol-
iday. Colonel John A. Lundeen, com
manding the Presidio post, was in
charge of today's observance, having
been detailed for that purpose by
General Frederick Funston, command.
ing the department of California.
One of the features of the occa
sion was the exhibition for the first
time of portrait of General Winfield
Scott, which was painted in the City
of Mexico shortly after the occupa
ton of that capital by the conquerine
army of the United States. The por
trait is the only one in existence O.
the intrepid hero of Lundy's lane
and Chippewa and is now the prop
erty of Colonel John L. Bromley, O
Oakland. 1t was painted by West

who himself was a native of tn,

Today's celebration was not merel,
that of battle, but the anniversar,

ritory of California, Nevada, Utah
Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico an,
Arizona When the Stars and Stripe
were raised over the halls of the Mon

CUT NBER OF HOURS.
New Schedule in Effect at the South
ern Pacific Shops.

Houston. Texas. Oct. 31.-A new
schedule which affects something
like 1000 men in the mechanical
department of the Southern Pacific
and Houston and Texas Central rail-
roads. was put in force this week,
which reduces the working hours of
boliermakers, machinists, car repair
ers and helpers, engine wipers, and
in fact all men who are engaged in
the car and machine shops from ten
hours day to nine hours. When
the fact is considered that the loss
of an extra hour each day means a
big reduction in the size of the
monthly pay check, it will be readi-
ly understood that the reduction is
not an oyerpleasant one. However. 1t
was for the best interests OF the men
for so dull is business that the com
panies had TO either reduce the
working force or the hours. and
rather than lay off a lot of the old
men. which would have been neces-
sary under present conditions, they
cut the working hours It is not
thought that the reduction will con
tinuc after business increases, and
this is looked for shortly

san Antonio Man Tries to Send Hot
Tamales by Mail

San Antonio. Texas. Oct. 31.--Tou
cant mail hot tamales in paper
bags This simple statement may ap-
pear supremely ridiculous for ninety
and nine persons ont of a hundred
will wonder who on earth would at
tempt to place a couple of dozen of
them in a plain paper bag, paste 10
cents worth of stamps on them and
drop them into the post office.
But just such a stunt was perfor-
med last night by an unknown indi-
vidual and the delicious morsels
were addressed to person in north
Texas.
"It's a hundred to one shot that
the tamales would not have reached
the railroad station without being
mangled so as to be unrecognizable
When taken out of the box in the
office last night grease was dripping
from the package and the nineteen
one-cent stamps looked as if they
had been dipped into frying pan.
OF course. the hot tamales were
stopped in the office and unless the
sender hurries 10 get them they will
be confiscated But the officials give
warning that the United states
mails cannot carry articles OF a
greasy nature.
Quart bottles of whiskey are Of
ten placed in the post office with
nothing around them except thin
paper and these. too. have 90 be
stopped as they would hardly get
out of the office before getting "a
fall that would dash them 'o pieces.

There was a druggist in a certain

ointment at $1.05 a box. A customer

ointment and asked If he wouldn't
