present themselves to public officials, that
it is impossible to please everybody,
that Mrs. Porter is trying to do her full
duty, that we shall never regret having
endorsed her for reappointment, and
whatever we may say about her manage-
ment of the office will be said only for
the good of the service, either to correct
errors or to offer suggestions for improve-
ment. This is a large office and the
postmistress is in the hands of her cm
ployes. The arbitrary act of last Friday
ohQma tjjo evil disposition of soni8 of
these clerks. For all of their acta the
head of the office carries the blame. A
desire upon their (some of them) Dart to
shirk work causes an 11 o'clock delivery
when there is no mail to deliver. Would
it not be better to make the 11 o'clock
delivery subject to the hour of arrival of
the eastern mail ? When that mail is on
time 11 o'clock will do, but when it is
late make the delivery correspondingly
late too. Better discipline in the office
will result in & world of good.

The San Antonio Express says: Once
more within tlie recurrence oi spring Ei
Paso has grown enthusiastic over the
proposed road to White Oaks, New
Mexico. This artery of commercc at the
present time has reached quite an ad-
vanced age on paper. It was deyised for
the purpose of connecting El Paso with
the county seat of Lincoln county, New
Mexico, the home of Pat Garrett, slayer
of Billy the Kid, and the centre of tlie
richest mineral district in the territory.
Los Pasoans should take a leaf from the
book of San Antonians, The Aransas
Pass was a paper creation for many
moous. Then the people reached the
conclusion that while a railroad on paper
was very pretty, a railroad on land was
decidedly more useful. So they built it,
taking great risks la doing so, 1
built it.
A BRAVE LADY.
She Endures the Pftln of m Severe Surgi-
cal Operation 'Without Taking
Chloroform.
(From the Courier.)
Mrs. Schoonmaker, of Creek Locks,
Ulster Co., N. Y., had the misfortune to
entirely lose the sight of one of her eyes,
through an accident, and endured pain-
ful inflammatory action therein for two
long years:—the other eye finally becom-
ing sympathetically affected, her general
health seriously suffering; indeed, she
was a mere wreck* it walking skeleton.
In this terrible strait, she consulted Dr.
David Kennedy, of Rotdout. New
York, who . told her at once [that the
injured eye must be removed, She
quietly but firmly said: -'All right,
doctor, but don't give me chloroform.Let
my husband sit by my side during the
operation, and I will neither cry out or
stir." The work was done and the poor
woman kept her word. Talk of soldierly
courage! This showed greater pluck than
it takes to face a hundred guns. To res-
tore her general health Dr.Keunedc then
gave the "Favorite Remedy," which
cleansed the Blood, regulated the Kid-
neys. Liver and Bowels, and thus im-
parted new life to the long suffering
woman. She rapidly gained health and
strength, and is now well, The "Fa-
vorite remedy is a priceless blessing to
women. !No family should be withou* ^

The unpleasant irregularity of the ar-
rival of mails ovfer the Texas & Pacific
road of late has led to some complaint
about the system under which the local
postoffice is managed. In fact a great
deal of the blame which belongs to the
railroad properly has been by some at-
tributed to the postoffice officials here.
The Times in its endeavor to voice all
reasonable complaints has incurred un-
necessarily some bad feeling with the
officials.
The postmistress claims, and very im-
properly, we believe, that when the mail
is so late in the morning that it cannot be
distributed for the regular 11 o'clock car-
rier-delivery, that then it must await the
4 o'clock p. m. delivery and that all call-
ers who request their mail before that
hour can be refused it "under regula
tions,"andif they receive it, they must
consider it a special favor from the offi-
cials. This is a wrong interpretation of
the ri^es of a department whose inten-
tion it is to be efficient and prompt. We
cannot believe that there can be any
nrwl it id nor.

service was created, *
Those who rent boxes in this postoffice
get their mail as soon as it arrives and is
distributed, Those who cull at the general
delivery window arc served properly in
the same way. Now what reason can
there be to deny the same privilege to
parties who have their mail addressed to
street and number? Are there not three
carrier windows at the postoffice here?
What are they foVV It cannot be the in-
tention of the postoffice department to
disregard the rights of persons who obey
more strictly the regulations nnd have
. their mail properly addressed to street
and number.
The Times has always received its mail
when sent for, even on days when the
trains were very late, except 'last Friday,
when our office boy made two unsuccess-
i~i tnr- i» Yoatfrdiiv Mrs Porter

told us that her clerks refused to give the
boy the mail because that clay's
issue of the Times contained
' a complaint against the office, She said
she had reproved them for such arbitrary
action and also Baid that when the boy
called the second time he had not made
the request of her as he was instructed
by us to do.
The Times has resolved, and we re-
«,,«t Athom to the same, to order its

In conclusion we desire to say that we

Wise words are never too old to re-
print. Addressing a body of business
men at Bridgeport the other day, P. T.
Barnum said: "You do not, any of you,
advertise enough. You ought to use
printer's ink every day. You are aleep
and want your business to, run itself.
Standing advertisemeits in a paper com-
mand confidence. The man who for a
year lives in one community and leads a
reputable life, even though he be of mod-
erate ability, will grow in the confidence
and esteem of his fellows. On the same
principle a newspaper advertisement be-
comes familiar in the eyes of the reader.
It may seldom be read, still it makes the
name and business of the man familiar
and its presence in the columns of a re-
spectable paper inspires confidence in
the stability of his business."

The performance of the Rosado com-
pany at the Myar opera house Friday
evening was not so well attended as the
excellence of the play and strength of
cast deserved. One reason for a poor
audience was the fact that the sale of
tickets took place at a new locality with-
out notice of the fact to the public. The
people of Paso del Norte turned out in
good numbers and many a beautiful

with her brilliancy. The youth and
beauty of El Paso too was well repre-
sented.
The play is the work of one of the most
noted Spanish authors. The scene is laid
in Madrid. Two fathers are the princi-
pal characters, Martin and Lorenzo. The
former lias a son Julian who is about to
marry the latter's daughter, Augustias.
Martin is an enthusiastic fanatic on in-
ventions, a lover of progress and advance-
ment. Lorenzo is a religious fanatic of
the extreme type. The two men had
never met until a few days before the set
marriage of their offsprings. They disa-

and for a time the proposed marriage is
doubtful. A woman Magdalena appears
then upon the; scene and claims to be the
mother of Julian, who turns out to be an
illegitimate son of Martin. This effec-
tually blocks the marriage ceremony so
far as Lorenzo is concerned. But the
lovers, encouraged by Martin and Rosa-
rio, the mother of the girl, prepare for
matrimony. The play ends at the hour
of the would-be marriage, when after the
curse of Lorenzo against ftis daughter
she faints and dies in that scene.

acter of Martin with a degree of perfec
tion seldom reached by any actor in any
role. The Lorenzo of Felipe Ballister
was a perfect representation of a relig-
ious relic of past ages, whose fanatical
ideas made himself and everybody around
him unhappy. His has a diffiault part
but he sustained it strongly. The Julian
of Senor Calvo was smooth and agreeable
to bis hearers. The ladies of the com-
pany played their parts unusually well,
but ibe superiority Ol ItGoai iu by Miss
Juana Rosado was very perceptible.
The actors were enthusiastically ap-
plauded* frequently during the evening.
The concluding tarce was cneerttiny ren-
dered and seemed to afford much mirth
to the on lookers. The Rosado company
is certainly a success.
