Owner of the Sheldon Hotel Property
Mot Following the City’s Instructions—
Aldermnn Bruner Refuses to Change
the Name of Utah Street—Proceedings
of the Seselon.
Two written and one verbal protest
were presented at the regular meeting
if the oity council last night against
the International Electric Light &
Power -Co., in the construction of its
street system. These, together with the
Sheldon hotel sidewalk oonstrnotion,
were the only matters of unusual inter-
est before the meeting, and upon which
there wae no definite action.
Six of the eight aldermen were pres-
ent—Messrs. Brunner, MoDnffle, Stew-
art. Badger. Whitmore and Burton.
Under the head of offioers reports
City Treasurer Faesett asked that the
oity clerk be requested to deliver cer-
tain city warrants to him in order that
accounts between himself and the oity
oovering his last term of office might be
adjusted by May 1st. It wae eo order-
ed.
City Clerk Catlin announced he had
received a warrant from El Paso coun-
ty in the earn of $1,133 86, for the city’s
co operation with the county in the
treatment of smallpox, and that the
same would ba placed in the general
revenue fnnd Also the county has
paid $29 on an account dated back in.
1896, for water obtained for the county
roads. The oity received last week, he
stated, $32,766 65 on aooonnt of the re
cent bond issue. The March building
permits numbered27repreeenting aval-
nation of $47,580, which portion of the
report wae referred to the bnilding
committee.
Alderman Badger, ohairman of the
street improvement committee, brought
up the documents involving a change
in the sidewalk and curbing aronnd the
Sheldon hotel bnilding, explaining the
work had progressed until Mr. Shel
don had taken liberties in widening a
portion of the sidewalk on both St.
Louis street and* Little Plaza, in the
face of the oonnoil’s refusal to grant
snoh privileges Also that certain
oh >ngee agreed to by the oity had not
been undertaken. It waB farther ex-
plained that on St. Lome street and
Little Plaza the sidewalk had been so
extended aa to interrupt the drainage,
which, with other alleged encroach-
ments, would work a detriment to some
of the abutting property. It was the
opiniou of Judge Kemp, oity attorney,
Mr. Sheldon should be injoined
if he enoroaohes beyond the city’s
grants, and be confined by allowances
made by the council. A motion by Al-
derman Badger to eo notify the owner
of the property, prevailed.
Alderman Barton presented the fol-
lowing bills, which were read and
allowed: New York Belting & Paok-
ing company, 1,500 feet of hose, less
freight, $1,152 87; Hotel Dien, thirteen
days’ accommodation for Simona Her-
nandez, $13; pay roll of street commis-
sioner's department, $45; pay roll of
engineer’s department, $15
When petitions were called for City
Clerk Catlin read a lengthy protest
from the Southwestern Telegraph &
Telephone company, through its attor-
neys, Turney & Burges, against the Tn
ternational Eleotrio Light & Power
company, alleging that at many points
along the streets and alleys the latter is
so erecting its poles and constructing
its system as to directly interfere
with the operation, exten-
sion, repairing and control of
wires and properties of the former’s
system Notably npon San Antonio
Rio Grande and El Paso Btreete. The
light oompany is paralleling the lines
of the telephone oompany, and in many
other plaoee in the city at intersections
and crossings the light company'ie run
ning its wires and orossarms over,under
and through the wires of the telephone
company eo as to prevent free aooees
thereto. In this way, the protest cites,
heavily charged wires coming in con
tact with telephone wires will endanger
the lives of the employee and greatly
impair the nsefnlness of its system. It
notified the oonnoil the telephone com-
pany would laok to the oity for proper
redress in all oases in whioh the com-
pany ie called upon to respond in dam-
ages wherein injury or damage can be
traced to the improper oonstrnotion of
the new company’s wires and system.
Following this came a protest of the
same purport signed by Vioe-preeident
White of the El Paso Gas & Etectric
Light & Power oompany. Both were
referred to the fire and water commit-
tee. *
As soon as the doonmeats had been
disposed {of Mr. B. F. Hammett, hand-
ling the D. R Francis hotsl property, vol-
unteered the information that the poles
whioh<oarj-y the new company’s wires in
front of the hotel were so low that peo
pie passing along the gallery were en-
dangered. The same condition praotio-
ally existed in front of the Pierson
hotel.
Attorney Leigh Clark, representing
the new light company announced his
oliente had not been oonenlted in the
matter of changing its system and any-
thing within reason wonld be complied
with. Even though a person was hold-
ing a wire oh urged with electricity no
danger wonld resnlt unless the circuit
was completed. Supplementing thief
Alderman Whitmore said President
Dieter of the new company signified his
willingness to pat in longer poles in the
business portion of the city and any
other reasonable request
Two petitions with reference to short
extensions of the oity’s sewer, one tn
Chandler addition and another in
Franklin Heights addition, were refer-
red to the oity engineer for recommen-
dation.
The petitions of a number of business
men along Utah street between San
Antonio and East Overland, requesting
the name of that portion of the
thoroughfare be changed to Mesa ave-
nue, and the one protesting against any
change, were both called up in their
regular order, and referred to the street
improvement committee. Alderman
Badger, ohairmau, rendered an imme-
diate report that the petition asking a
change be not granted. The report was
adopt id without opposition.
City Treasurer Faesett’s bond of $40,-
000, presenting as sureties Dan Kelly,
C. R. Morebead, A. A. Howard. Charles
Davie, J. C. Lackland. T. J Beall, A
M, Loomis and J. P. Dieter, npon ap-

as sureties C. R Morehead, A. P. Coles,
C. E Kelly. Millard Pattereon, A.
Courchesne and T. H Springer, was
also approved by City Attorney Kemp
and aooepted.
Mayor Magoffio called for suggestions
in the matter of opening np Kansas
street where C. E Bailey a few days
since obtained a permit to erect a
bnilding. Attorney W. H Barges,
representing Mr. Bliley, suggested
whatever the oonncil intended doing
should be done at once in order no more
expense wonld be incurred. Up to yes-
terday Mr. Bailey had aotually expend-
ed $2,300 in material, labor, etc . and
had contracts outstanding for $8,500
more. Mr. Bailey who yw present, ad-
mitted he was disposed to sell the prop-
erty after whioh the matter was passed
over, and the oonnoil adjourned.

Rev. Mr. Mlilloau of the Baptist Church,
Has an Inulng.
The usual crowded house greeted the
preacher last night, and the lights were
much more brilliant than at any of the
previous services. El Paso gas has a
very exasperating way of clogging up
the pipes and it is necessary to occa-
sionally have them blown out in order
to secure a good illumination. This had
been done at Trinity church yeeterday
and the improvement wae marked.
The eubjeot for the evening wae, “The
Devil’s Protest.” Mr. Millioan took for
his text the twenty-fourth verse of the
first chapter of Mark. He said in part:
A study of the context and other
scripture will go to show the devil is a
person; that he wae once an aroh angel
in heaven; as such be led a revolt of
angels against God; he wae overoome,
and with hie angels driven out of heav-
en into the world's darkness, where
they are ail reserved for the judgment;
heuoefcrth he became the prince of the
power of the air. Leading his followers
who art designated as principalities and
powers—rulers of this world’s darkness
—and whom, we are told, are not flesh
and blood, and with whom we must
wreetle as against our adversaries who
seek to devour us. In the days of Christ,
aud doubtless today, legions of these
demons, evil spirits, would take pos-
session of those who yielded to their
entreaties, aud iash them to temporary
insensibility by passion and disease.
While Jesus was preaching in the
synagogue one thus possesessed entered,
perhaps attraoted bv tbe crowd, but
when he saw Jesus, not he, but the de-
mons who possessed him cried out let
us alone! What have we to do with
that, thou Jesus of Nazareth; art thou
come to destroy us, (as another phal
anx says before our time.”)
This was the same devil who tempt
ed; who tempted Jesus, and believe me
the devil is not yet dead. He with his
angels still lives, takes possession of
me a and always >enters a protest
against the association and work of
Jesus, and this their doctrine and pro-
test.
“LET US ALONE ”
Yon kneel with this protest in the
war of social evil. The young men
whom I saw loitering around and en-
tering places of evil a few weeks ago,
say “let us alone," we must see the
sights, and have a little pleasure.” Let
you alone. Do you know what it
means? It means a physical and men-
tal ruin, social disgrace, a loss of shame
aud eternal torment, for we are told
no adulterer who fails to repent, shall
enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
□The drunkards say, “let us alone.” I
know a flourishing merchant who began
visiting the saloon, perhaps for lemon-
ade. Beware of the saloon, there are
more of these evil spirits hovering there
than all the ordinary business houses
in town. This man’s friends begged
him to stop, but be said “let me alone,”
and in a few years the devils had that
man’s store transferred to the saloon
with him left oat. His wife had died
of a broken heart and he was a
wanderer from God and man, and what
ie worse “No drunkard shall enter the
kingdom of heaven.”
The murderer says, "let me alone.”
He goes on to his deadly work. You
aid him to seek pardon tbrongh repent
anoe and faith He refuses and is lost
forever, for "no murderer shall enter
the kingdom of heaven.”
The merchants who persist in keep
ing their stores open on Sunday says to
the ministry, chnrohes and beet people
of onr town, "let ns alone.” Bnt hear
me, it’s ithe devil’s protest. The fact
that these men wonld not mnrder, nor
steal,nor gamble, does not prevent them
from being law breakers. Let them
alone, and thns help to lower moral
sin in onr children and citizens, en-
courage lawlessness, and beoome feed-
ers to the gambling honee, saloon and
brothel.
Bnt there ie another who often joins
the devil in this protest. It is the oity,
through her administration. Now, I
know that all the meanness of the oity
oannot be charged to the city officials.
But this I know, that dance hall I spoke
of could be closed ; the gambling houses
could be driven into the closest of law-
less secreoy; the saloons and stores of
onr town could be dosed on Sunday if
the oity officials would yield to this ap-
peal of the ministry, the churches and
beet people of the oity. Bnt they say,
“Let ne alone,” and the mills of phys-
ical, mental, moral, family and home
deetrnction grind on.
The moralist is called on to reject,
but he hardens his heart and begs to be
let alone. Sons and daughters fly into
a fury at parents and demand to be let
alone in their lost condition. And like
tbe man who killed his faithfnl dog and
then fell under the hand of the robber
who wae larking near, they destroy
ooneoienoe, sin away their day of graoe,
and God lets them alone forever. O,
beware! beware!
“There is a time, we know not when;
A place, we know not where,
That marks the destiny of men
To glory or despair ”
How far may we go on in ein ?
How long will God forbear?
Where dose hope end, and where begin
The confines of despair?
An answer from the sky is sent,
“Ye that from God depart,
While it is called today, repent,
And harden not yonr heart ”
The nsnal after service was dispensed
with owing, perhaps, to the fact that
the workers needed rest. The subject
for tonight is “In the Midst of the Sea ”
Tomorrow night Captain Pitt, of the
Salvation Army will take charge of tbe
meeting and the nsnal rousing time
that oharaoterizes the army meetings ie
expeoted, It is expected the obnrob
will be orowded and that standing room
will be at * premium.

VALUE OF FRIENDSHIP.
Whul It Wnn Worth to Memri. Car-
nefcle and Frick.
Friendship lias a money value.
When Mr. Frick sued Mr. Carnegie
for a few odd millions a few weeks
ago. Mr. Carnegie tiled a statement In
reply that the entire property of the
concern was worth only $75,000,000.
The other day the two gentlemen got
together aud buried their differences.
Now these snme properties are capi-
talized at $100,000,000.
The additional capital, $85,000,000,
Is not water, for it is agreed that every
dollar of it will pay a dividend. It
represents the value of friendship.
While they were quarreling the mo-
nopoly was threatened, aud was worth
only $75,000,000. When they became
friends,'the monopoly was assured be-
yond a peradventure and immediately
appeared in the capital account as
$85,000,000.
IIow good and how pleasant a thing
is friendship! It Is no mere sentiment
when captains of industry love one an-
other. It is cold, hard cash.—St. Louis
Post-Dispatch.
Mcnnlng of 15 Per Cent Hedoetion.
Few people understand the exact
meaning of the proposition to tax
Porto Rican products 15 per cent of the
Dingley rates. Take wrapper tobacco,
for instance. Ordinary prices for this
are 20 cents and the maximum is 40
cents per pound. The. Dingley rate
for wrapper tobacco Is $1.85. The
house 1)111 fixes 15 per cent of that, or
about 28 cents per pound. This is 140
per cent ad valorem on ordinary prices,
and 70 per cent of the maximum, so
It is evident that the rate Is prohibi-
tory. Even with 5 per cent of the
Dingley rates the duties will be crush-
ing, for even that would be a duty of
nearly 50 per cent on the ordinary
grades and about 25 per cent on tbe
choicest lots.—Burlington (la.) Demo-

Guard Agnlnat Foreign Inflnence.
Against the Insidious wiles of foreign
influence (I conjure you to believe, fel-
low citizens) the jealousy of a free
people ought to be constantly awake,
since history and experience prove that
foreign influence is one of the most
baneful foes of republican government.
But that Jealousy, to be useful, must
be impartial, else it becomes the in-
strument of tiie very influence to be
avoided instead of a defense against
it.
Excessive partiality for one foreign
nation and excessive dislike of another
cause those whom they actuate to see
danger only on one side and serve to
veil, and even to second, the arts of
Influence on the other.—George Wash-
ington.
A New Romance by Julia Haxrndcr,
“The Voice In the Choir” is the latest
romance from the pen of Julia Magru-
der, and its publication will begin im-
mediately in the June Ladies’ Home
Journal. It is a love story that has its
inception through an accidental mtot-
ing in a church choir and which by
strange accidents is shifted to the hos-
pital tent in the wake of an invading
army. Miss Magruder heightens the
charm of “The Voice In the Choir” by
uniquely veiling the climax.
