contribute to the city's charities who
hand over a check somewhat larger

difference from charity's cash box and
walk out with it charity finding out
too late that the check is bogus. In
the last recorded instance of such
trick a man came in to give twenty
dollars to the charity as a memorial to
his mother. . He handed the officer of
the charity a check and walked out.
The officer read ;he check discovered
it was for $25.75. ran after the man
and called him back for his change.
The man thanked her took the money
and was seen no more. The charity
society tried to cash the check but it

$6.75.

Congress is determined to do some-
thing to control hazing at West Point
and will probably require the author
ities of the school to investigate all
charges and lnc.uents of hazing thor
oughly and expel all cadets found
guilty of the practice. Trials of
strength some bullying and what is
known as "ragging" will always be
where healthy boys congregate. It is
as impossible to eradicate them as to
do away with leap frog marbles ball
playing or westlilg and a reasonable
amount does the boys good. But bru
tality is another matter. The young
men of colleges and schools often for
get themselves and carry things too
far. Minding one's own business is an
important - lesson in manliness and
strength and one that West Pointers
and college men would do well to con
sider and learn.
' o
The cadets of West Point have called
the four classes to a meeting and liaan
imously decided to abolish "exercis
ing." hazing of all sorts and the prac
tice of "calling out" fourth class
men. The cadets have a strong love
for the academy and regret that its
name has been so sullied by the recent
charges against it and in order that
no such charges may again arise they
have voluntarily abolished hazing.
Public opinion and congress voicing
public opinion demanded it of the
authorities but the cadets stepped
forth to do their part.
o
A CURIOUS RESULT OF OUR
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT.
One of the most curious results of
America's tremendous advances in
manufacturing for the world's markets
Is the tact that by partially crippling
our commercial rivals we have cut off
to some degree our own markets in
those countries. The competition of
the United States is causing the Euro-
pean nations especially Germany and
Kngland great concern. Those coun-
tries are coming to realize that our in-
dustrial system is all but irresistible
and that we have left them far behind
in the development of our industrial
resources. With an unlimited field
from which to draw our raw mater-
ials and markets constantly expand-
ing America is in truth intoxicated
with success while England and Ger-
many are chagrined and discouraged
at the new turn of affairs.
Germany has been committing the
error that we are likely to commit un-
less we gee to it that our markets in
the orient are kept open and con-
stantly enlarged. fth bag tied up all
her capital in plants and factories in
the machinery of production while lit-
tle has been left to be devoted to the
organization the factor of dis-
tribution. The result of this new condition of
affairs is that German manufacturers
are disposed to back water for a while
until they can reorganize their system.
England Is considering the feasibility
of sending young men over to this
country to learn our methods of manu-
facturing and distribution. The spirit
of European enterprise has in a meas-
ure collapsed or is in a waiting stage.
The result is that just as America
feels the flush of. grand achievement
the self confidence that comes from
complete success she finds herself fac-
ing an entirely new set of problems
arising from the new relations between
us and the great powers. . The close
Interrelation of interests the impos-
sibility of one nation being wholly suc-
cessful at the expense of another is
demonstrated by the fact that there
are indications of a falling off in our
exports of raw material and manufac-
tured goods to these countries upon
whose commercial territories we have
trespassed.
Thus do things in this world even
themselves up and there is a limit set
to the swing of the pendulum.

Tomorrow January twentyfifth will
be the anniversary of Bobbie Burns's
birthday and it will be celebrated en
thusiastically in the four quarters of
the globe. Burns died in 179C. In the
thirty-seven years of his life and even
more since he died the flame of his
genius has kindled many lights of love
genius enthusiasm poetry philoso
phy observation and reflection. No
man of genius has ever had a warmer
place in the hearts of men than has
the Scot plow man.

The " record of the Marquis of
Queensberry's doings in his thirty-two
years of life proves that an energetic
Englishman even a marquis can be
as strenuous as any young American
and would shame some of our idle
young men who do their days' work and
no more. The Englishman in ques-
tion has served in the militia has
served in the fleet as a sailor has
been an explorer and a mining expert
and has not neglected to make a fort-
une by his own efforts while he has
been doing all the other things
o
The English newspapers are coming
around to an acceptance of the Amer-
ican idea concerning the military con-
trol of the Nicaragua n canal. They
say they will realize the commercial
benefits of the canal anyhow that to
maintain absolute neutrality in time of
war would be practically impossible
that someone will have to have mili-
tary control of it and all that which
Is all very true and exactly as we see
It.

THE DAWNING OF THE TWEN
TIETH CENTURY.
SUNNY WOMEN.
Who has not known the woman whose
disposition is described by that one word
"sunny ?" There's always a laugh lurk-
ing on her lips. Her cheeks are ever
ready to dimple in smiles. Her house
hold influence is as brightening and
stimulating as the sunshine. Nothing
can be crueler than to have this sunshine
blotted out by disease. But this is a
common cruelty. The young wife who
was the sunshine of the home becomes
its shadow. Every young wife should
know the value of Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription in the protection and pres
ervation of the health. It promotes
regularity dries the drains which enfee-
ble body and mind and cures inflamma-
tion ulceration and female weakness.
It nourishes the nervous system and
gives to the body the balance and buoy-
ancy of perfect health. It is a strictly
temperance medicine.

over the world the matter would be
very easily decided. The dawn-line
would coincide with the date-line and
from pole to pole the first sun of the
new century would rise at the' same
moment.
But unfortunately this is not so.
and the consequence is that the line of
dawn aa it sweeps round the earth.
first touches the date-line to the south
of the equator' " and then gradually
creeps up this line till it leaves it far
to the north. So the first sun of the
twentieth century will rise on the plac-
es along or near the date-line in the
order of their position from the south
upwards.
Now there is no land along this line
from the Antarctic Circle to Antipodes
island hence this tiny spot of earth
will first see the twentieth century
dawn. A few minutes later Bounty
Island will see it. Then it will sweep
along the north-east coast of the North
Island. New Zealand: then over Vanua
Levu In the Fiji Islands. Next it will
shine on the scattered coral islets of
the Ellice group and after traveling
about nine degrees more to the north
the light-tide will touch the crossing
of the dawn-line and the date-line at
six o'clock.

two cars to Kansas City. A sale of
thoroughbred Herefords at Carlsbad
took place at good prices. Stock feed-
ers say their stock are gaining nicely.
Some real estate has been changing
hands. Several nw comers are look-

the Man As a Suspicious Character.

On yesterday The Herald printed the
grievance of H. R. Patrick of Phoenix.
who said he was arrested during the
carnival without cause.
Policeman Billy Smith says he ar
rested Patrick because the latter had
been pointed out to him as a suspicious
character by Uncle John Julian and
irs. The man bad papers In bis
pocket showing that he bad been rep-
resenting himself to be a deaf and
dumb man after he came to El Paso
and had been carrying on written con-
versations with other strangers. In
regard to this Patrick who is a one
lunger says he lost his voice for a
time and was compelled to communi-
cate by means of paper and pencil
The police found a pistol on Patrick
when he was searched at headquarters
but In view of the fact that he was a
visitor and seemed to be all right the
chief let him go without prosecution
and returned the weapon to him.
Smith says if anyone offered any in-
tuits to Patrick be knew nothing
about it.
HON. TOM. W. PEAKE. OF
TERLINGUA IS DEAD.
Hon Tom. W. Peake well known In
this city is dead. Mr. Peake was for
a long time The Herald's correspondent
at Boquillas. where the Carmen smelter
is located. When the smelter closed
down Mr. Peake went to the quicksil-
ver region in Brewster county and
continued as The Herald's special cor-
respondent at Terlingua. the quicksil-
ver camp.
Mr. Peake took up a number of val-
uable quicksilver and silver claims
but owing to lack of funds he was un-
able to develop them. He was very
sanguine as to the future of the camp
and was a hard worker. He was jus-
tice of the peace and notary public.
Last week he died. No particulars
has been received of the manner of
his death.

E. P. Turner.
E. P. Turner general passenger and
ticket agent of the Texas and Pacific
has returned from El Paso where he
attended the Midwinter Carnival. He
came back on the special train with
the Shriners and said they all had a
splendid time.
"The carnival was a grand success
in every respect." said Mr. Turner
"and the managers have decided to
hold one every year and on a larger
.cale. The town was crowded with
sightseers many from the north who
were surprised and delighted at the
summer-like weather.
"It is worthy of ncte that a number
of persons who went from Dallas af-
flicted wltn the grip returned quite
cured.
"The midway and the confetti battles
were features of the carnival especially
worth mentioning. ...
The crowds there seemed congeni
every one good-humored and drunk
ness was rarely seen.
"I saw my first bull fight and
exciting. During the performance one
of the bulls tossed a horse and rider
over a six foot fence and followed af-
ter. The fight occurred in Juarez
across the rivtr from El Paso." Dal-
las New9.

agent of the Sunset returned from a

nival was the most successful ever con-
ducted in the state. Not only was
plenty of amusement provided but the
visitors were made comfortable dur-
