Within the past year there has
been remarkable break among
the old settlers and pioneers of
southern New Mexico. Wednesday
morning at the Hotel Dieu in 81
Paso one of the widest known char
acters of the local mining camp
and one Of Grant county's best citi-
zens, passed from the ranks into
the great beyond, when Matthew
Doyle, familiarly known as Matt"
died Mr.. Doyle came to this sec
ticn thirty years ago. establishing
his residence at the camp of
Shakespeare where he has resided
ever since. He has prospected ov-
er the entire southwest and has
developed paying mines. He was
philanthropic and possessed a
keen Irish wit. He was far
sighted business man and was the
owner of valuable property in this
city together with stock in the 85
Mining Company.
Mr.. Doyle had been a sufferer Of
inflammation of the pancreas for
some time past and left Friday eve
ming for FL Paso where he was re-
ceived into the Hotel Dieu. The
Sisters extended every aid but he
sank slowly and died Wednesday

received here as a great shock to
his hundreds of friends and a pail
hovered over Lordsburg for sever
al days.

seventy-two years ago of Irish par
entage. He came TO New Mexico
thirty years ago and has resided
in this section until the time of his

mine and q few years later went TO
Colorado where he married, his
wife dying there later on and bur
led there.
j. A. Leahy and John Gleason
took charge Of the body at El Paso.
With the passing Of Matt Doyle,
! Lordsburg loses ore of its best citi-
zens and a pioneer who will never
be forgotten. No relatives survive
the deceased but a small city of
people will miss loving friend
and companion. The old-timers are
passing away swiftly and Matt
Doyle has joined the ranks.
Matt Doyle was tuIied in the Ever

beautiful floral tokens adorned the cas-
ket. The pail bearers were Messrs.
Leahy, Gleason, Ryan, McCabe, Farrell
and Iie hillon. Hundl eds of FL Paso-

ODD FACTS ABOUT CHOLERA
Superstition Has Added TO Rsvaycs Of
Dread Disease-How Rocks
Were Affected.

Cholera has usually found a USE
full ally in superstition In the old days
the disease was believed to lie bottled
up in volcanoes and to be released by
eruptions, The most effectual way to
avoid it was to sleep in bed with your
head due south. In Russia during the
terrible epidemics six years ago the
peasants would not trust the doctors,
whom they actually accused of caus-
ing the disease, but drank fearful
mixture Of tar, resin and petroleum as
preventives, and fred guns from the
doors and windows to scare the chol-
era away. What spreads the disease
along the caravan routes of Asia ia
the habit Of washing dirty clothes in
the drinking wells.
Rocks were the birds whose conduct
in connection with the cholera was OBJ
served in Ireland in 1892. According
to the contemporary Dublin Morning
Register. Immediately the cholera
came all the birds vanished from the
rookery in the Marquis of sligo's de.
mesne, one of the largest in Ireland.
For three weeks. during which the
disease ragged violently, these noisy
tenants OF the trees completely desert
ed their lofty habitations. In the mean
time the revenue police found immense
numbers of them lying dead upon the
shore near Erris, about ten miles dis
tant Upon the decline of the malady,
within the last few days, several of
the old birds have again appeared in
the neighborhood of the rookery, but
some of them seemed unable, through
exhaustion, to reach their nests"

This is not baseball story. The
grand stand does not rise as one man

isn't three-bagger in the entire three

In the old days. before the gentry of

Above the storm of facetious replies

Continued from sixth page).

earth shall awake, some to everlasting
life. and some to shame and everlast-
ing contempt" Dan. 11.45; II: l, =.
This is the conclusion of long pro-
phecy that begins with the Medo-
Persian kingdom and closes with the
establishment of the eternal kingdom
and the resurrection.
Soon after the death of Alexander
the Great, his Generals formed COM
pact for the government of his en-
pire; but it was soon broken, and out
of his conquests four Kingdoms arose
toward the four winds of heaven"
1t was not long after this division had
been effected till Cassander had sue
ceeded in conquering all that portion
of AleXander's kingdom lying to the
north of Jerusalem. leaving but two
of the original four divisions remain
ing. These are mentioned in the pro-
phecy as "the king of the north" and
''the king of the south. Since 1853
A. D., when Constantinople fell into
the hands of the Turk, this power has
ruled over the territory of "the king
of the north"
The prophet declares. ole tthe king
of the north shall plant the taber-
nacles Of his palace between the seas
in the glorious holy mountain; yet he
shall come to his end, and none shall
help him" Dan. 11:45. This verse
speaks of two events that all the
world has looked forward to with
great apprehension, and has expected
to see accomplished at an early date
the driving of the Turk from Europe
and his coming to his end.
The GLORIOUS holy mountain" is
where Jerusalem is located. Zech. S:3.
1t is situated between the Mediterran-
can and the Dead Sea. According to
the prophecy, the seat of government
Of the Turk is to be removed from
ConstaEtinople and located at Jeru-
salem.
During the progress Of the Balkan
war in 1912, many writers in the daily
papers and the magazines freely eX-
pressed their conviction that the time
had come for the Turk to leave Eur
ope. While he was driven by the Bal
kan allies to the verge of Europe,
ference of the European powers III
London, and the Turk still holds Con-
stantinople. Scarcely mad the present
Ndl DGSun when IL was lIeely pIeulSl-
ed that this would end the stay of the
Turk in Europe.
Paraphrasing the scripture in the
light of simple deductions, we have
the following: The Turk shall locate
his seat of government at Jerusalem,
and shall come to his end, and at that
time Christ shall begin His eternal
reign. The time of trouble to the
nations, such as never was, will follow,
and at that time all Gods people,
whose names are found written in the
book of life, will be delivered.
The thought that Christ takes His
Kingdom and begins His reign at the
beginning of this time of unparalleled
trouble to the nations may seem
strange to some, but it will be seen to
be in perfect accord with the scrip
ture.
Like the muffled tread of the thief
in the night. the day of the Lord is
stealing upon us. More suddenly than
the present war broke over Europe,
ard with much more dire results, will
the war of the great day of God break
