The Kevival.
Mr. Cladys of Cerriilos preached to
a good house last niht in Trinity
His text was practically the entire
fourth chapter of ihe first Epistle of
John. '1 ho speaker was vigorous in
his argument and appeals to his hear-
ers whose interest he held to the clot-e.
He said in part it is folly to try and
explain God and the road to heaveL
away. In fact more effort is given to
this sort of thing taan to the achieve-
ment of salvation. Many people will
work harder t J take th j road lo hell
than to take the roau to heaven. In
short there are men wno will make ud
effort to go to hell whire no tffort at
alt is required to go to h:aven. Truly
the wages of sia ar death but the
gift of God is eternal li e.
When God says repent or perish it
is faith that mattes us repent. Faith
brings omnipotence to our assistance.
Every Christian snou d have toree
things faith assurance and love.
Tnere is no Cnrietian without faith
Every child of God is so by faitn. Who-
soever believes that Jem is the Cnrist
is born of God. The very instant a
man believes in that innaat he is a
changed man. Justified by faith we
have peace witb. God. The holy spin
brings the witness that we are at p -ace
with God. Faith brings power to over-
come sin. Mo true Christian is living
in sin. There is 1.0 safe ground for t
ma 1 to- tase wno docs aoi accept
the witness of the holy spirit. This it
what enables a man to stanl up anc
say I know that my redeemer liveth
Take the joy of salvation out of a man's
heart and he is all shriveled up. Death
is sweet to a man who knows he is
right with God. So let your heart b
fixed on God. Wnen a man become:
genuinely happy over the ideaoftai-
vation he has secured it. Oh that Gou
may make on our minds the impression
the necessity and value 01 aivine love.

HANDLING DIPHTHERIA.
Rules Prepared by Doctor White for
Government of Patients.
The following rules aud regulations
prepared by Dr. VVbite are in force at
San Elizario and Quril!a where diph-
theria has been prevalent:
Upon the first appearance of a case
of diphtheria a placard should be put
on the door of the house to denote the
presence of the disease on the premis-
es. All members of the family except
the nurse should ba rigorously exclud-
ed from the sick room and all inter
course with persons on the outside
prohib'.tad. These measures should
be enforced until the death or recov1
ery of the sick person.
In cae of deita the remains should
at once be wrapped thoroughly in a
sheet wet with a solution of bionloride
of mercury of the strength of one to
1000; put in a tightly closed cjflin and
buried as sptedily as possible. Pend-
ing buria' no one except thd attendant
and the undertaker should be allowed
to enter the room Under no cir-
cumstances will it be permissable to
have a puolic funeral or any gather-
ing of people on the premises. Only
the officiating- clergyman should be
admitted and he only after tha corpse
is in the coffin securely closed.
After the remains have been tiken
from the house all tbe weir.ng ap
parel bed linen etc. should be gather
ed up put into a wooden tub and have
poured over them a hot solution of
L. chloride of mercu-y of the s'reigth
of one to 1000 (one ounce of bichloride
to five gallons of water) In this the
clothes should remain at least six
hours. Then they soould be placed in
plain hot water and thoroughly wash-
ed. Woolea gjois should Od strung on
lines streichea across tae room prepa-
ratory to luoneation. The matresses
and p. Hows sbou:d be either destroyed
or ripped to pieces and treated as the
other goods to be washed.
All the woodwork cooking utensils
etc. etc. should be washed in a solu-
tion of bichloride 1-1000 as above de-
scribed and tbe room should then be
fumigated either with sulphur or formal
de byoe. Immediately on the fumigat-
ing apparatus being lighted the room
should be vacated and closed up as
tight as possible and so kept for
twelve hours by which time the
process will have been completed. It
should then be opened and thoroughly
whitewashed and then will be ready
for occupaccy.
Patients wno recover should ba kept
aloof from all other members of the
family or from associating with outsid-
ers until all evidences ot the disease
have disappeared. In no case should
this periol be less thin three weeks
duriDg which time patients should be
confined to th-s rooms in which Ihey
were durinir their illness. Upon the
expiration of quarantine as abjve spec-
ified the apartments and contents
should be disinfected and fumigated as
described above.
Every suspicious case should be
promptly investigated and the house
quarantined as aoove described if in
tne ouinion of the physician it is diph-
theria. A New Conservatory.

A World of Contradictions.
I do not know just why it is; I cannot
understand.
But somehow things don't seem to go
the way thattbey are plauned.
There was Willie Wilkin's mama said
he should a parson be.
But he's now dispensing cordials in a
wet-goods ho-itelry;
And Tommy Tucker who was called
Lhe bright b'-v of our school.
Since hp's grown up h's mostly known
as 'Deacon Tucker s tool'
And Charlie Chump whom we allowed
a "natural born" to be.
He's b:en ten years in Congross and
it's all a-beating me.
There was littie Li'lie L-jggina just as
mod st as could be
She is wearing knickerbockers and she
is a sight to see;
And the girl who held that marriage
is a thing that Heaven forbids
She is now addressed as "Mrs" and
she's ma of seven kids;
And the youth who said he'd write his
name with Fame's eternal crew
You will fi-id it's largely written Old
Bill Biifgins debtor to "
For the things we mostly figure on are
things we do not get.
And the castle we have builded is the
one that's marked "To let."
The parson says the heavenly land is
bright and full of bliss
And I hope he's better posted than he
is concerning this
For he said "Tae righteojs hunger
not nor dj their seed begbreid"
Perhaps they don't but if not
they sometimes starve instead.
And I often almost wonder if the next
world won't surprise
By being just about the thing we nev-
er did surmise;
But I trust that this is error for I
wjuld not th'nk mayhap
The man who goes to hales is the one
to strike the scap.
"It is dreadful queer" said tbe woman
"that the potatoes jou bring should be
so much bigger on tbe lop of the basket
than they are at the bottom." "I tell
you how 'tis misses" answered the
Chinese huckster "Dlam potatoes
glow so fait now dat before I gettee
basket full de la?t one I die gee is
much bigger ea de flirst onees."
A man who is going around the
street seeking some woman to lick
should be sure that it is his own wife
and no one else's. Tue other evening
a woman was walking along in front of
the opera house when all of a sudden a
man jumped out and commenced
pounding tbe face off of her but when
he saw that it wasn't his own wife he
began begging her pardon and asked to
be excused. The justice doctored him
to the tone of $5 aud cost and the cost
were the biggest part of the transac-
tion. He may have had a license to
pound his own wife but his license
didn't extend. d to others people
wives.
The London Times in a late article
reviewing the effects of tbe closing of
tbe Indian mints to silver has this to
say: "lhe closing saved tne Indian
government from the losses incident to
a heavy fall in exchange and conse-
quently from a disastrous increase in
tbe burden of the gold ob lgations. It
s undoubtedly true that it also helped
to keep down the gold value of silver
bullion but may not the question be
raised whether the low price of silver
is necessarily disastrous toldia which
purchases it to largely.' Sa.nce lo'JJ
India has been the only real wholesale
customer for silvc r. Other customers
are of the retail order. The delicate
adjustment of the relative prices of the
ruee and silver formerly existing has
been rudely shattered by recent events.
Since 1896 the rutee has risen and sil-
ver has fallen. The fact is the forces
now acting upon the price of silver have
become too trememdous to be domioat
ed by such delicate iniluences as pre
ceded tbe defeat of Bryan's sliver party
and Japan's adoption of the gold stand-
ard. These events have proved causes
too potest to be withstood. The clos-
ing of the mints was justified and all
that is now needed to bring a great
experiment to a successful ending ia a
Lttle courage acd patience as well as
resource oa tbe part of the financiers
of tbe Indian empire At tbe same
time plain and straight-forward lan-
guage is advisable upon one point.
The Indian statesmen tampered too
long with bimetallism. Ibis llirtation
which seems so innocent has already
cost them dear. But for that the gov-
ernment would have assented to the
closing of the mints long before 1893."
"One thing is ceriain. We
would ba very foolish to do anything
for silver. Even should the United
States and France agree to adopt bi-
metallism and England to reopen the
Indian mints it would only bolster up
silver for a brief spa'-e to fall again
to it proper market price so that In-
dian finances would be in a position as
bad as before if not worse."
F. Ed. Spioner the well known bi-
cycle race promoter is now making up
the southern circuit for rave me"ts and
has mapped out a circuit f om Florida
to the C.ty of Mexico. In Mexico the
circuit will take in the cities of Monte-
rey San Luis Potosi Guadalajara
Mexico ar d Puebla and the teams will
raturnt New York by eteimer from
Vera Cruz. Tha circuit as mapped out
is a very interesting one but El Paso
will hardly be in it.
It is a sad day ro labor when the
rights of worlcingmen are trampled
undt-r foot and free speech is muzzled
by United S'.atas judges while capital
and tru-ts a-e pampered and allowed
to arm thetn-elves against tie inva-
sion of peaceful 1 ibor. Tbe courts of
tin country have done this ve y thing
io he mining striku and it has brought
the poor rum to believe that there is
no justice for th ?m in the courts. Tae
aogravation is enough to induce them
to resort t: force in trying to gain a
rightand it is coming to this poim. Such
decisions hs i ha"-given by the judges
of We't Virginia and Pennsylvania
causes anarchy and drives capital aid )
l.i i . ill i . . : '
laoui-.i urmer apart .it win oe uokuing.
unexpcHed now to hear that tbe strik-1
ing miners h-ive resorted t dynamite
and bombs iustoad of marching peace
fully through the mining district aud
trying ti persuade the fellow workmen !
to join theni in a strike for higher
waees. There is no justice in a deci-
sion where working men are debarred
from canvassing a district In the in-
terest of labor or are forbidden from
holding meetings while their oppo-
nents are allowed to arm and hire cut
throats to shoot into a peaceful gather-
ing of strikers. No wonder a working
man is driven to criminal acts when
such decisions are rendered by the
courts of the country.

A Pilgrim's Return.
Mr. Bushong returned this morning
via tbe T. & P. from tbe Panhandle
where he has been rustica'ing and en'
joying himself for the last two weeks.
tie started out as per schedule from
Colorado City lacr oss tbe country to
Plain view 1 19 miles and mace it in
three days. But on the return Mr.
Bushong found it was seventeen miles
shorter to strike B'g Springs and he
tried it. He did make 102 miles the
first day; but then came grief aad af
Uicl.on trials a d tribulations. He
got mired in aslue that made him think
of the slue of despond that he read
of in Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress
when a kid and after revolving many
things in his mind as to how he should
get out chanced io see something that
looked like a rope dangling near him.
Mr. Bushong laid bold of the same and
found it to ba a male s tal. He held
on like grim death to a pale darkie
and was yanked out of the mud by the
excited animal along witn uu wneel.
Mr. Bushong thanked the mule
kindly and tried to continue on the
turf. But he got about.400 punctures
or .ess in tnree minutes from the
mosquit thorns. Bat with rare pre
sence ot mind ne did cot pull tbe
thorns cut of bis tire but cut them off
"close to the hub ' -with a razor and
went on. The thorns staid in tbe
rubber and did not come ou' so tbe
tires did not collapse. Mr. Bushong
camped out in tbe brush over night
and being short of matches kindled a
fire by the light of his countenance
and by rubbing two slicks together
till the flame came. He shot several
cotton tail rabb ts skinued the same
witn the deftoess of a chen and broiled
the flesh. Unfortunately he had no
butter lhe skunks aud prairie dogs
stole it all the hrst night. Mr. Bush
ong got out of water. But as the dew
fell copiously by night he shook incis-
ure out of tbe greasewood into his hat
and pcured it into his canteen until it
was full.
Mr. Bushong has photographed all
of his prairie experiences in nis mind
and will reproduce the same through
the camera for the delectation (if bis
many friends. He reached B g Springs
right side up with care and slept all

ant? shot him.-elf. When he was found
his clothing was on fire. It was ex-
tinguished and be was removed to tbe
bar room. An effort was made on the
part of many of his friends to secu e a
comfortable pla'ie for him in the rooms
above Bachecbi's place but the prop-
rietors had grown strangely delicate
and would not allow him to be taken
upstairs. 11 was finally removed to
the city building. On his arrival there
Dr. Hope who bad been immediately
called made an examioat.oa and
found that the bullet bad
passed through the left s.de about 2i
inches below the nipple. Tbe ball was
lodged just underneath the skin of the
back a short distance from the spine
On being questioned Anderson said
that he bad also tanen a dose ol rougn
on rats. The officers then went to the
room he had las occupied No. 26
European and the box of poiBon was
found among bis effects and about one
tablespoonful of it had been used
Further inquiry developed the fact that
the gas had been left turned on in bis
room all the preceding night a'though
h ? denied having so left it. He had
attempted to purchase morphine in
large doses en Tuesday from li i-tuppp
the druggist without success o his
suic dal act was evidently premtd.tated
and pre-ar-ranged. He retained enn
sriousness until almost his last breath
and at about 8 o'clock p. m. after
few convulsions passed away. He bled
very profusely and his death was prob
ably due to the wound rather than tbe
poison. Telegrams were immediately
sent to his friends in Las Cruces and
the southern part of the territory. No
word was sent directly to his wife who
is reported to be very near the point of
death at Las Cruces. She is reported
to have given birth to a child within
the past few days.
"Anderson left two vry pathe'ic let
ters to his wife in which he blamed
whisky entirely for his rash aot. He
gave some instructions as to the dis
position of some Idaho properly and
the collection of some accounts due
him acd tbei bide her good bye say
ing that whisky had the best of him
and that he would be b tter off deid
With almost his last breath be said
that he knew he was dying and that it
was better that he should.
"Fied. A. Anderson was very we
known throughout tbe country in the
newspaper fraternity under the eobrl
quetof "Wool River Bill." He was
a practical printer and learned his
trade in the office of the Standard at
Anaconda Moot. Since leaving there
he has worked in the -composing rooms
and upon the reportorial staffs of a
great many newspapers in all parts of
the country. For some months he was
located in this city being employed in
the Democrat office when it was locat
ed upon the corner of Third street and
Copp r avenue.
"After leaving Albuquerque be went
to Las Cruces where he has since re
mained editing tbe Dona Ana (County
Republican t or awhile be also edited
tbe Rincon Weekly. He bad acquired
quite a reputation in this territory as
an utterly fearless journalist and his
attacks upon some of the men and
methods of his own party had made for
him some very bitter enemies. If
his habitsior his morals were not all
they should have been be has paid the
penalty and God not man is cow his
judge.
"His remains were placed in the care
of Undertaker Montfort who prepared
them for removal. Tney were taken
to Las Cruces this m rrning by H. B
Holt a fellow townsman and friend of
tbe deceased."
The body was brought down to Las
Cruces this morning and tbe funeral
occurred this afternoon from the re
sidence. Mrs. Anderson who a few
days ao became a mother is reported
as very low today.
