ADVERTISING RATES.
The custom among newspapers of printing
one rate and accepting another is fast disap-
P Th ' times has been a one-price organ since
1886. We find it pays.
Uniform rates are necessary for the satis-
faction of the advertiser and the success of
^No'discmuits, except those published on this
rate sheet are allowed to anybody.
The advertising agent can pay our rate and
retail the space to buyers at our figures with
profit to himself. For instance: he buys a
half column, 9 inches, for one year, for *189;
if ho retails each inch at $42 a year his profit
Is 100 per cent. We sell at the same figure to
everybody.

land and are now the pride of the olty,
Secretary F. O. Bangs of the Cleveland
board of park commissioners says: “I
will say that to me It certainly seems
the plain, unmlstakablo duty of your
people to at once begin the acquisition
of park lands nnder one system or
another. Certainly it cannot be that
it is the intention of your people to
forever remain without these necessary
adjuncts to municipal prosperity and
success, and equally certain It Is that
with every year’s delay In such acqui-
sition the ultimate oost thereof Is ma-
terially increased, and probably to
such an extent that in ten or twenty
years values will have been enhanced
to an extent that what might now be
secured at nominal prices will th9n be
beyond the pos&ibiiltios of acquire-
ment, thus forcing you so far from the
oeaters of population that the disiaaoe
therefrom would prove seriously objec
tionable.”
The Stsr then goes on to print ex
traots from nearly all the letters re-
ceived. The Brooklyn authorities
say;
"The city is so favorably Inclined to
ward parka that It has just authorized
the purchase of over 1000 acres of land,
making ten additional parks, and laws
hava been paesed at the last session of
the legislator edireotlDg the creation of
half a dozen new boulevards. Kansas
City will not make a mistake If she de-
cides to have parks and boulevards,
and as many as can be obtained.”
So that all the answers stated that
instead of closing or abandoning parks
the tendency everywhere is to acquire
and open new ones. Yet in El Paso
there are a few who object to Washkg
ton Park because a California horse
man Is willing to buy It. Help the
oily first then help your California
ftlend.

OFFICIAL PROGRAMME.
Official Paper of the City and County.
The oliy cDunoil is in earnest and In
less than three months the artesian
well will be a rt altty.
The Times gives space today to the
interesting programme of the next
National Irrigation congress to be held
at Albuqueique this year. As El Paso
will receiva the delegates twice during
one of their excursions, it is of much
local interest.
THE VALUE OF CITY PARKS-
The fact that a ftw persons in El
Paso who know very little about the
needs of a oily have been egttaticg the
Sale of Washington park, onoe known
as the fair gioacds, is reason enough
to give spaoe to the following from the
Kansas Olty Star:
‘‘Letters which shew how oltles
which have parks and boulevards re-
gard this class of improvements have
been received by the park board of this
olty. They are in the shape of replies
to letters askiDg for information whioh
were sent to tbe mayors of a dozen or
more cities about tea days ago. The
replies first received were from Brook-
lyn, Cleveland, Detroit, Baltimore and
Omaha. That Kansas Oily should be
behind Omaha in the matter of public
improvements was a cause of regret to
tbe park board, but it Is none the less
a fact that Omaha has been building
parks for nearly three years.

“I’HE PRESBYTERIAN MODERATOR.
Dr. Booth Bn* Preached the Orthodox
. Creed For Forty Years.
There are few more strictly orthodox
clergymen in the Presbyterian denomi-
nation than the Rev. Dr. Robert Russell
Booth, who was recently chosen moder-
ator at the one hundred and seventh gen-
eral, assembly of the Northern Presby-
terian church. He believes the Bible
from beginning to end, leaves polities
for the politicians and sociology for the
sociologists,and devotes his entire energy
to expounding the gospel, pure and sim-
ple. Dr. Booth was born in New'York
city in 1830, and is the son of Wiliiaih
A. and Alida Russell Booth. Ho was
graduated from Williams college in
1849, and from Auburn Theological
seminary in 1853, and began his pas-
toral duties as colleague of the Rev. Dr.
Beinan of Troy, N. Y.
Three and a half years later ho was
called to the First Presbyterian church,
Stamford, Conn., and remained there
until 1861, when he returned to New
York as pastor of the Mercer Street
Presbyter i an
church. During
his long pastor-
ate his church
was united with
the University
Place church, and
Dr. Booth be-
came pastor of
. t h ,o. combined
congregations.
Tlio labor of the
important charge
finally shattered
his health, and REV. dr. booth.
doctors declared that his voice would
never 'again he heard in the pulpit.
When medical skill failed, a tour of
foreign mission fields and the untiring
care of a devoted wife came to his res-
cue, and he finally returned to New
York in greatly improved health.
The old Rutgers church, to which he
was called, was on the verge of total
collapse. The pastor had left it, the
congregation had scattered, and a work
begun back in 1796, when the church
was one of three Presbyterian churches
in New York, seemed at an inglorious
end. A master baud was needed to
draw the church from its slough of des-
pond, and Dr. Booth’s was the hand
that did the work. Owing to his tireless
labors, the congregation increased to grat-
ifying proportions, a magnificent new
church was built much farther up town,
and the dying institution speedily be-
came one of the strong Presbyterian
churches of the metropolis. Dr. Booth is
a determined opponent of Dr. Briggs
and his teachings.
Millionaire Rockefeller as a Cyclist.
Mr. John D. Rockefeller is one of the
most enthusiastic wheelmen in the
United States. He is quite as expert as
ho is enthusiastic. He learned to ride
the wheel during the summer of 1894,
while he was resting after a slight at-
tack of illness at his beautiful country
seat, Forest Hill, on the lake ridge east
of the city. He was impressed so greatly
with the beneficial effects of the pleasant
exercise that ho purchased a large num-
ber of bicycles, some of which lie gave
to his friends and always liad a “mount”
ready for any person who came to visit
him. The millionaire is a very daring
coaster.—Cleveland Leader.
Francis Joseph Will Write Hi* Impres-
sions of America.
Francis Joseph of Batteuberg, a real
live prince, recently traversed the Unit-
ed States while on a tour of tlio world
and has left America much impressed
with Yankee pluck and energy. He is a
godson of Emperor Francis Joseph of
Austria and is a brother of Prince Henry
of Batteuberg, who married Queen Vic-
toria's favorite daughter. Princess Bea-
trice, in 1885. Ho is a stalwart young
gentleman, standing 6 feet in his shoes,
is unmarried and confesses to only 33
years. Despite the fact that he is not at
all well to do, he apparently cherished
no designs upon the fortunes of Ameri-
can heiresses during liis tour and im-
pressed a great many people with the
belief that he is a very sensible, modest
and well informed young scion of roy-
alty.
Tlio prince left homo eight months
ago and has since visited India, Aus-
tralia, New Zealand, Hawaii and the
United States. Ho travels in a modest,
unostentatious manner and says that a
room costing a day at a hotel is good

PRINCE FRANCIS JOSEPH,
enough for him. He is utterly devoid of
auv affectation or royal airs and makes
numerous notes each day for use in a
book on America. He has considerable
literary talent and lias already brought
out a book or two with flattering. suc-
cess. He dresses in ordinary black
clothes, looks like a well bred English-
man and speaks excellent, English with
a German accent. Ho thinks Niagara
falls the grandest spectacle he has ever
seen and says that American beer is
better than any beer made in England,
Germany or Austria.
What impresses him most about
America and Americans is the rapidity
of the country’s development and the
energy and perseverance of the people.
Ho will return to the United States next
year and make a more extended tour of
the country. The prince has a military
bearing and for some time served as a
lieutenant of infantry on the staff of
the Grand Duke of Hesse. He has drop-
ped tho sword for the pen, however, and
is devoting himself to a literary career.

The Pulpit and the Wheel.
The Rev. E. E. Ufford of Williman-
sett, Mass., preached a sermon for
wheelmen at the Tabernacle Baptist
church in Brooklyn recently. He chose
his text from Job, “Thou cansest me to
ride on the wind. ” Two bicycles stood
on the platform, from which ho drew a
glowing resemblance of the modern
wheel to the spiritual bicycle, and every
point of the machine was shown by him
to be emblematic of some moral trait.
—New York Recorder.
Why Bicycle Lamps Leak.
The cause of many lamps “leaking”
is the filling of the reservoir too full of
oil, with a result that no sooner is the
wick aflame than the boat causes the oil
to expand and find a release through the
air vent or along the side of the wick.
A good rule is never to fill a lamp more
than three-quarters full of oil.—Wheel
Ten Knots an Hour Under Water.
Tho Italian submarine boat with
which the experiments were conducted
last year has been completed and named
Dclfmo. Her ascertained speed while
submerged is about ten knots per hour.
Women on wheels should remember
Lot’s wife and never look back.
If at first you don’t succeed in learn-
ing to ride the “bike,” try, try again.
In bicycle collisions it is more or less
significant that the wheel is always on
top.
He who does not belong to some bi-
cycle club is very far behind the proces-
sion.
Champion cyclists explain that they
alone are the ones who “stoop to con-
quer. ’ ’
From earliest ages children were par-
tial to tho bicycle and continually plead-
ed with mamma to “see the wheel go
round.”
There is neither economy nor satis-
faction in a cheap wheel. It invariably
breaks down three miles from the near-
est town.
“Do yon wear a sweater when you
ride your wheel?” “Mercy, no! I get
so warm I don’t need such a thing.
Exchange.
A Wheel Changed World.
The bicycle has altered many tilings
in life. Take woman as an example.
Formerly they were divided into those
who tried to play tho piano and those
who did not. Next it was those who
wanted to vote and those who objected
to doing so. Now tbe two sections are
those who rido tho bicyclo and those
who don’t, which is again subdivided
into tlioso who wear knickerbockers and
those who won’t wear them.—Wheel.
Even Tights May Be Worn.
Women are riding with easo and com-
fort, and short skirts, with leather leg-
gings, are popular and modest looking.
Bloomers, when properly cut, make a
becoming costume. Some of those who
go infer solid comfort predict even that
tights will he worn this summer under
short skirts and leather or cloth log-
gings,—New York Tribune.
An Odd Fan For Wheelmen.
C. M. Webb of Chattanooga is the in-
ventor of a fan to bo fastened to the
handle bar, which is caused to revolve
by n friction wheel coming in contact
with the front tire. It throws a strong
current of air into the face of the rider.
