COP KEEPS WATCHFUL
EYE ON COUNCIL

During all the transquil routine
of the council meeting last night a
policeman sat with restless eye,
i'll at ease at the evident inactivity
of his detail. On account of rough
house symptoms at the grade sepa-
ration discussions, which made
councilmen nervous for fear hos
tilities would reach the point
where the Ignorant Irishman" or
mayhap a judge might take a
punch at someone, uniformed of.
ficer, star. helmet and all, was on
duty in the chamber. But there
was nothing doing last night, for
the session was a sort of reaction
and probably one of the quietest
in the annals OF the council.

New Presbyterian Moderator.

Kansas City.-Rev. DR.. Baxter P.
Fullerton of st. Louis was elected
moderator of the Presbyterian church
in the United States Thursday to sue
ceed Rev. DR.. William H. Roberts of
Philadelphia. The first day of the
general assembly of the church was
characterized by spirit of unity and
cooperation which promises much for
results to be accomplished during the
ten days the conference is to be in
session. DR.. Roberts delivered his
farewell sermon as moderator be-
fore the greatest audience ever assem-
bled at a conference of the church.
There We're 800 authorized commits.
sioners present from all parts of the
world, besides thousands of other
Presbyterians and spectators. There
were present representatives from
Porto Rico, the Philippines, Alaska
and from a dozen countries. Ten
thousand churches with fully 1000. 900
adherents, most of them communi.
cants, were represented. DIR. Roberts
sermon was an argument in favor of
Christian cooperation ana harmony in
opposing the forces of evil in the
United States and the world.

Tender Heart on the Bench.

According to an eminent lawyer
there is a custom in French jurispru
dence that sanctions the consultation
by a Judge in provincial courts with
colleagues on the bench, called 'as-
SCISSORS when sentence is to be
passed upon certain classes of male
factors. What ought we to give this
rascal, brother?" a judge in the de-
partment of the Loire asked the asses-
sor on his right Il should say three
years" What is your opinion, broth
er?' This to the assessor on the left
81 should give him four years"
Whereupon the judge, assuming au
air of great berevolence, said: "Pris-
oner, not desiring to impose upon you
long and severe term of imprison-
ment, as | should have done if left
TO myself. l have consulted my
learned brethren and shall take their
advice. Seven years"

Two New BISHOPS Elected.

Baltimore-The battle of the bish.
oprics was hotly waged Thursday and
before the adjournment of the Metho-
dist Episcopal general conference the
fifth ballot had been cast and was in
the hands of the tellers. Rev. DIR. Will
liam F. Anderson of New York, and
Rev. DR.. John l.. Nuelsen of Mast
Theological seminary, Berea, Ohio,
were elected bishops upon the second
ballot. DIR. Nuelsen received his de.
gree from the university of Denver in
1900. The third and fourth ballots
were without result inL
1t is expected that the rewly elected
German bishop, Nuelsen, will be given
an episcopal residence in Berlin, with
charge of the Teutonic races in Eu-
rope, and that bishop William Burt
will confine his labors to the Latin
races.
Significance attaches to a recon-
mendation which the book committee
unanimously decided to make to the
conference. 1t is that hereafter the
book concerns of the church employ
only union men at union wages and
favorunion labor whenever opportunity
offers. During the past four years the
two great publishing houses of the
general conference have had a good
deal of trouble with labor unions es-
pecially with the Typographical union.
The resolution is the outgrowth of this
and the desire of the Methodist Epis-
copal church to get in closer touch
with laboring men and women.

THIS BUG ATTACKS FINGERS.
Doctors in Quaker City Mystifed by
New Maady.

Philadelphia OF the
Children's Homeopathic hospital have
been much mystified for the past few
days by the large number of patients
suffering from a strange insect bite
or sting invariably on the index or
middle finger.
The first case was that of Mary
Bergdauer II years old. When she
was admitted the index finger of her
right hand was swollen almost twice
its usual size. Under treatment the
swelling subsided and she returned to
her home.
Two hours later Mary Jansen, 10
years old, was admitted, suffering in
tense pain, except that it was the
middle finger Of her left hand. The
same treatment brought the same re-
suit, but the physicians could not tell
what had caused the swelling. AS yet
no deaths have been reported from the
strange malady.

COSTLY PUBLIC
BUILDING BILL
PROVIDES FOR AN EXPENDITURE
OF THIRTY-TWo MILLION
DOLLARS.
PRESIDENT CAUTIOUS
MAY MAKE 1T A LEVER TO Sc.
CURE ANTl-lNJUNCTION
BILL.

Washington. President Roosevelt
already has taken notice of the S32,-
100000 public building bill, although
that measure is still in conference be
tween the two houses of Congress- He
asked Secretary Cortelyou to prepart
a report on the measure to guide him
in determining whether to sign or veto
1t.
Mr.. Cortelyou is asked to include in
his report, first whether the condition
of the public funds justify so large an
expenditure fer public buildings at
this time; second, the amount of flu
ture expenditures which will be made
necessary to complete the new pro
jects authorized in the measure, and
third, an opinion based on the expert
judgment of the supervising architect
of the treasury, as to the necessity for
each of the projects provided for.
That there is connection between
the Presidents desire to be fully in
formed as to the public buildings bill
and his desire to have passed an anti
injunction bill and also his desire to
have bill passed to subsidize ocean
mail steamers, is declared to be most
obvious
1t is conceded that no measure
passed at this session is more tooth
some to members of both houses than
the public building bill. The prospect
of having this bill vetoed would cause
emphatic concern and alarm.
Meanwhile the President is contin-
uing in personal work with members
to induce action on the anti-injunctioa
proposition and to persuade House
members that the Senate subsidy pro
vision contained in the postoffice ap
preparation bill should be accepted
The report, which Secretary Cortel-
you will lose no time in preparing, will
undoubtedly be convincing along its
designed lines

MADE THE CONGREGATION GASP.
Northerner's Liberality Astonished tire
Colored Brethren.

A northern gentleman, visiting in G
southern village, attended church at a
negro meeting house. When it came
two deacons seated themselves beside
a table before the pulpit, with the
plate between them.
One by one the congregation rose,
and stepping forward, deposited a cent
or nickel upon the plate before the
eyes of the watchful deacons. When
all the members had gone forward the
northern man took a half-dollar from
his pocket, and leaning forward and
touching a negro on the shoulder,
handed it to him and motioned toward
the pulpit.
The coIored brother rose with alac-
rity, but with eyes big with astonish-
ment, and holding the coin between
the tips of his fingers and extending it
Wgh in the air where all might sec
n, ne marched slowly and ostenta-
dously forward.
He was about to deposit it on the
plate when one of the deacons mo-
toned and whispered to him. The ef-
feet was instantaneous. The coin
bearer lowered the coin out of the
public gaze and stepped back to the
donor.
Please, sah," he said, in a low
voice, does you want some change
back-and how much?"
The visitor shook his head Again
up went the coin, borne by smiling
negro, and with a clangor and an and
ible buzz of approval from the specta-
tors it fell into the plate.
Watched by the deacons, the
preacher counted the funds. The col
lection this morning amounts to IS
cents" he announced. I'VE will now
enter upon a service of thanksgiving"

Airship Carries Passenoers.

Toledo, Ohio.-From his temporary
aerodrome on Collingwood Heights,
Thursday evening, A. Roy Knabenshue
successfully negotiated the first air
ship flight ever made in this country
with an airship carrying passengers.
With him in the test were Early Hess
and Charles Hamilton, two of his as
sistants. The flight was only short
one, but through it all the aeroplanes
that really make possible the operation
of the ship carrying passengers, per-
formed their part of the work to a
nicely that was surprising even to
Knabenshue.

Merry Widow Buzz-Saw Off.

Allentown, Pa.-The other night a
man, name unknown, walked down
Turner street. In front was a woman
wearing merry Widow" hat the size
of a bicycle wheel.
The man failed to potice the hat
and when he was near the woman the
latter turned around. The sharp and
braided edge of the hat struck the
man across the eyes.
With howl Of rage and pain the
man grabbed the hat, tore 1t from the
woman's head, threw it on the ground,
stamped on it, and then kicked 1t into
the street, after which he disappeared
down an alley.

Cotton Goods Much Cheaper.

Chicago-In a fight against manu-
facturers to reduce the cost of cotton
fabrics, wholesale dealers have an
nounced a final reduction, establishing
the prices of cotton goods thirty-five
per cent. lower than they were last
October. The price now set by the big
wholesale houses is said to be the last
reduction that will be made.

Out For Spiess

The people Of any commonwealth
have the right to demand of its sons
loyal service. IN the fullest possible
measure. whenever the needs II the
people demand II.
A public man IS ever a public SER
want. ana he who is most able to serve
the people owes most to them.
The territory of New Mexico, dur
ing the next two years, will require
the services OF one of her ablest men
to represent the territory in the ma
tional congress. We believe we voice
the sentiment of tho fran voters
of the whole terlitory when we say
that the one man who Is available and
most able to mi that position v''
credit to the territory is Hon. Charles
A. Spciss OF Las Vegas. II Is a fact
that Mr.. S,ciss has repeatedly refused
to permit his name TO be mentioned in
connection with the nomlnation as deli
egate. but we believe that MI Speiss
owes it to the people Of the territory
to serve them IN whatever capacity
they may select him.
Mr. Sneiss has served the territory
for many years as a pubic man and
has risen each year I'm the esteem of
his people Two Years ago he made
tho most able ana efficient president
of the territorial council this territory
has ever known.
Hc viii represent the territory with
credit In the national congress, and
secure for US the recognition which
the territory has sorely needed for.
many years.
We desire herewith To name Hon
Charles 4. Spiscs OF Las Vegas
as the standard bearer of the repuh-
iican party of tho territory of New
Mexico for 1905, and wo believe that
Mr.. speiss will see u his duty to
thus serve his party and the people or
the sunshine territory.
We believe that iu this demand we
voice the sentiment Of the entire pco-
pie OF New Mexico. and especially the
leaders or The republican party.
We believe that the announcement
nf Mr. Speiss consent 10 this call OF
the people should be- but a few days
distant and as the power 20 nori-
nate lies with his friends and as his
nomination by tho republicans OF thel
territory mean his election by over
