KINDERGARTEN.
DOES IT HELP THE SCHOLARS
THE HIGHER GRADES?
IN
An Interesting Comparison of AVork
Done in Miss Filzpatrick's Koom
at End of First Four Months-
Of all the public schools in the state
El Paso is tha only city which has a
public kindergarten a a part of its
system; though In some or tne largest
cities benevolently disposed ladies
free kindergarten training. In El j
have organized associations wnicn give
NO KINDERGARTEN TRAINING.
Paso children between the ages of five
and seven receive this system of work
as a part of their education.
Our citizens generally regard with
approbation and affection this move on
the part of tne scnooi Doara laougn a
few regard it as a waste of time and
money. One gentleman last fall re-
fused to let his children be placed in
the kindergarten rooms giving a his
reason that children were only "taught
dancing and deviltry" ani that they
picked up more of that on the strests
Kindergarten training.
No Kindergarten training
than he could beat out of them.
The school board are very well satis-
fied with the work that is being done
and the teaching the children receive
in this depart ment and they claim that
the effect of the system can be perceiv-
ed as the children pass to the higher
grades. A praotioal tost was made last
year in Miss Allie Fitzpatrick'a room
the first grade of the Mesa school
building. At the examination held at
the end of the first four months school-
ing the papers of those children who
had received the kindergarten training
were put together and those of the
i.ijdren who had never attended the
kindergarten we.e pjaeer) together. A
comparison of the work done by eab
is both interesting and instructive.

THE CITY COUNCIL.
Th( School B"ard Ordered Paid S1.000
on the Merrill Property Account.
The El Paso municipal Sanhcdrin
met last night in regular sess:oo with
Actino- Mayor Whitruore id the chair.
After the cerk had fta3tcd his foul
and cloyed the appetites of his listeners
on that cold frigid serial the minutes
of the previous meeting the mayor re-
ported that he had paid $24 to send to
Jerome Ariz. the pauper woman re-
cently before the council.
The city attorney reported favorable
on the $500 bonds of Proprietor E. P.
Lowe of the Tribune in the matter of
the city printing the sureties bfing
Pete Machero and J. J. Taylor. The
city attorney also reported that he had
finally succeeded in locating the Pos-
tal Telegraph company at New ork
f'.tv and recommended that the fran
chise petitioned for be granted the du
ration of the same to be twenty-five
years. J uage vemp ms j icpui .cu
the removal of jacals on the south side
as ordered by the council. He said the
parties were just a dyin' to obey the
mandates oi tne council uuu mcj
no dinero to move with or on. The pa-
tience of the council was therefore sol-
icited and in the sweet bye and bye all
would be well. As to Samuel SchuU
not moving his San Francisco street
adobes out of the way the attorney
said he had enjoyed a quiet conference
with Mr. Schutz and was convinced
that he would give no trouble. In the
matter of the city's repairing side-
walks at the expense of abutters the
city attorney was granted more time. In
the matter of tlood waters the attor-
ney thought the city had the right on
sanitary grounds to go to the expense
of holding them back.
Mr. Scott here suggested that as the
government engineers claimed the Rio
Grande was a navigable river it was
the business of the United States gov-
ernment to build the levees to protect
the city. Mr. Scott reported for further
investigation the bills of Q. T. Di for
dyke building and on Judge Coldwell's
motion Mr. l)ix was requested to re-
port on the authority of what city of-
ficer did he incur the expanse for
which he was requesting remunera-
tion. .
Mr. Clifford for the finance committee
reported favorably on these bills which
were allowed:

Mr. Robinson for the taxation com-
mittee reported favorably on the last
report of the city assessor and collector
which was approved.
The chief of the fire department re-
quested leave to erect a wooden shed
in the corral to the west of the city
hall for the benefit of the horses as they
werq turned loose th.ere. Permission
granted.
Mr Brunner for the fire and water
committee reported that he had had
a medicine dance with the Electric
Light company and recommended
that thirteen (fatal number) electric
lights be placed in the city hall build-in"-
along with three gas jets 1or the
lire department. The council were
agreed that something would have to
be done to whittle down the gas bills
whiph threatened to bankrupt the r.ity.
Mr. I'liftord explained that sometimbs
the city's gas bills ran up as high as i'0
per month which was too utterly utter
for anything. On Judge Coldwell's
motion Mr. Urunner was instructed to
hold a confab with the Electric Light
company ani have them present a pro-
pos'tion as to what they would be wil-
ling to do in the matter.

Cattle are going out of New Mexico
at the ra'c of ab ut live thousand a day
over the Santa Fe road.
During 1890 the people of New Mex-
n vcptc- the owners of 2700.000 head
of sheep and of S10000 head of cattle.
Fine rains and warm genial weather
all over the range country in xexag
are reported with cattle improving
rapidly.
It is likelv that for this and next
month light weight steers will be most
n demand. In July heavier steers
wi'l again be in demand for export
purpoies.
It is now estimated that the north
ward movement of southern cauie
through Denver this season will
amount to 300000 head nearly iniriy
per cent more than a year ago.
While no material decline in prices
of cattle is expected it is hardly prob
able that the markets will noiu up as
well as at present when grass fed
steers are sent lorwara in any num
bers.
Twelve purebred yearling Hereford
bulls were recently exported irom
Great Britain for the purpose of im
proving the stock belonging to tne
Liebig s extract of meat company in
South America.
Whenever heifers get to be worth
steers of the same age then they will
be too valuable to ship and will be
held for breeding purposes or sola to
breeders. Then after that goes on for
while cattle will be more plentiiui
than now.
Kansas and Montana will be in com-
npt.ition for Texas cattle this summer.
The Kansans are not prepared to handle
them in such large quantities as tneir
northwestern neighbors but will pay
full market priea before going back
without what they want.
Replying to an enquiry as to the
true extent of losses the past winter on
the northwestern range the represen-
tative of an extensive company ranch
ing in Montana says that while were
was no means of ascertaining with ac-
curacy until round-up work commenced
the Tosses are unquestionably very
heavy.
A creat deal of the opposition to the
proposed tariff on Mexican cattle ema-
nated from Kansas men many of whom
have cattle interests in Mexico usmj
that country as a breeding ground and
shipping the st aers to market on the
transi stop privilege. It is quite na
tural that these gentlemen snouia oo-
ject to the restrictions proposed and
equally natural that Texas cattlemen
should object to such competition right
at their doors.
cw Mexico Cattle In Ueni:inil.
A Santa Fe dispatch to the Globe
Democrat says; Advices from the big
Mexican ranges just south of the bor
der indicate that the Mexican cattle
supply available for shipment Is prac-
tically exhausted and as a result buy-
ers from Colorado Nebraska and Kan-
sas are swarming into every part of
New Mexico and making extensive pur
chases at prices that have not bsen re-
ceived by live stock men for a decade.
Kansas parties have -5000 head which
ubat them close to 20 per head on-the
wav to Clayton for shipment via tne
Gulf road. Lyons & Campbell yes'er-
dav loaded S0U0 head at bilver City
which they naa soia to uowiing x tin

An American company ha9 just pur-

The California limited train on the
Santa Fe routs will be discontinued.
The last one of these trains westbounl
will leave Santa Fe Friday May 21;
eastoound Wednesday May 26. It is
expected that a new time card will
take effect at that time but no definite
announcement as to what changes
will be made has as yet been receiv-
ed. The federal court at Omaha has de-
cided not to interfere in an order pre-
viously made requiring the Union
Pacific and Western Union to separate
their telegraph lines. This means that
the companies must operate separate
lines. The wires of the Western Union
will probably be taken out of the
Union Pacific offices within three
months.
Santa Fe officials are much pleased
over a fast run from La Junta to Pu-
eblo. Engine 4"9 left La-Junta with
three coaches and making two stops
for crossing rolled into the station at
Pueblo in (ioA'minutes.the distance cov-
ered being sixty-three miles with an
ascent in that distance of 764 feet. The
actual running speed was faster than a
mile a minute.
Both the first engine to pull a car
out of Chicago and the engineer who
opened the throttle that sent it on its
first trip are yet alive. John Ebert
the engineer lives at 234 Park avenue
says the Times-Herald while "Pio-
neer" the engine is one of the treas-
ures of the Chicago & Northwestern
Railway company. It lacks eighteen
months of being fifty years since they
made their maiden trip.
Ex-Senator George Currie of LincolD
county states that Commodore Low-
rey of New York and Lehigh Valley
and Scranton coal operators have pa'd
C. B. and John A. Eddy of Colorado
$200000 for theSalado coal deposits in
Lincoln county. This deal is believed
to insure the early commencement of
work on the El Paso and White Oaks
railroad which C. B. Eddy has long
been engaged in financiering in New
York and London. The coal deposits
are the most extensive in the south-
west and are situated 160 miles north
of El Paso.
A Waco Texas dispatch says: Tele-
grams have been received stating that
the Gulf Colorado & Santa Fe railway
has accepted the offer of the cititzens
of Cleburno Johnson county and has
authorized the removal of all the shops
and round houses to that point. One
of the telegrams was from Col. Lucius
J. Polk general manager to S. E.
Moss confirmatory of the dispatches
received by others to the same effect.
Dallas Fort Worth Temple and other
points were rivals for the shops. They
are worth $74000 a year to a town.
In case of severe storms when in the
judgment of Santa i e train and engine
men it may be unwise to proceed
trains should be tied up until the con-
ditions are favorable for the movement
of trains with absolute safety. Section
foremen must patrol the track and ex-
amine the same during storms and re-
liable watchmen kept at dangerons
places day and night with proper sig-
nals. Watchmen must have explicit
instructions. All places likely to cause
trouble must be marked by green flags
by day and green lanterns by night
the same being placed in both direc-
tions the proper distance from the
place where danger is anticipated and
where watchmen are stationed.
A surveying party of the Chicago
St. Louis and Texas Air Line took the
field last week at San Antonio to make
a fanal survey of the lino from oan An-
tonio to Brownsville a distance of 270
rnii3. Chier Engineer William ven-
nedv is in charge of the party and ex
pects to complete the survey within 6ix
weeks or two months as much of the
line is through a perfectly level coun
try. Right-of-way agents will follow
the surveying party and A. D. Gunn
president of the company says work
will begin as soon as the right-of-way
agents finish their work. The road
will extend from Brownsville Texas
to Cutreyville Kan. where connections
will te made with lines running to Chi-
cago and St. Louis. A party of capi-
talists in Mexico are working and
planning to build a line from Browns
ville to the City of Mexico via Tam-
pico making an air line from. St. Louis
to the Mexican capital. Tho road will
bo built vith English capital.
