EL PASO, NOVEMBER 16. 1901.
The Slugging Match.
Public sentiment tit San Francisco
seems to have been divided on the
question of permitting the prize tight,
which occurred there last night. The
ministers of the gospel sought every
way possible to stop the exhibition,
but seem to have met with no encour-
agement. whatever. The authorities,
in view of a city ordinance permit-
ting glove contests, were powerless,
even if so inclined, to take any step
to prevent the mill.
There is a large element in a city
like San Francisco that reaps finan-
cial benefit from a prize fight. There
is another element that is influential,
that doesn't object to fighting on any
moral ground, and Is glad of an op-
portunity to occupy an inconspicuous
scut, and witness the battle. As long
as the brutal aspects of the contest
can he covered up sentiment in a
city like S.m Francisco will favor
permiliing slugging matches in the
prize ring.
The objection on the part, of the
ministers, in view of their piecept
and the example of their lives, is cor-
rect. They don’t object to the manly
art, but it is no longer manly art
when two men are stripped to the
waist and are placed in a roped menu
to pound one another for a money
consideration. Whither ii is culled
a glove contest or1 nut it is ectaiuly
not an edifying spectacle.
Down in his heart there is scarcely
a man that would net like to see a
bout betwieu champion bojo-rs, but
an event like that, last, night certainly
carries demoralizing iniluencc with it.
The fact ...at it brings together in
a body the toughest Helmuts in the
country is sufficient argument that it
is not altogether a ptoper exhibition.
The commercial view to the effect
that a prize tight brings money to
a city is not sufficient excuse to wink
at the evils entailed.
A Rich Section.
The Bisbeo road will open up a
country so rich in natural resources
that it is difficult to realize the tm
mense advantage that will accrue to
El Paso. This city will control the
trade of that vast area just now in
the inclplency of its development.
Hum bolt, the great German scientist,
declared that no section iu the world
was richer in mineral deposits than
the eastern and northeastern part of
the state of Sonora. The Bisbee road
will run from El Paso directly into
the heart of that country. The enter-
prises that will develop as a result
of transportation facilities wdll be lit
tie short of marvelous.
There are prospects partially un
covered of mineral In almost untold
quantities. The earth is seamed with
valuable deposits that simply await
development and means of transpor-
tation. Prospectors have already lo-
cated copper and gold and silver ores
in great abundance. The railroad will
prove the magic wand to lay this
wealth hare, and El Paso Is the lap
into which it Is to be poured. This
city will furnish the supplies that go
into the mines of Sonora, and will
receive a great deal of the mineral
for smelting purposes that is to be
digged from the hills and mountains.
No other city will be able to com-
pete with El Paso for the Sonora bus-
iness—and if every other section trib-
utary to this city were eliminated
there is sufficient latent wealth in
Sonora, that will be developeu by rea-
son of the Bisbee road, to make El
j aso a city.
The Bisbee road will certainly do
its part In making El Paso the first
city in Texas to gain one hundred
thousand population.
A Chance for Composers.
It remained for two foolish Amer-
ican girls to hasten to Bulgaria in
order to get themselves kidnaped.
They are craving notoriety with a
vengeance, and if they succeed in
falling into the hands of bandits they
will get what they are after.
Here is a suggestion for the writers
of light opera. It is a theme around
whieh the composer of a libretto can
weave a most thrilling and fascinating
story. Then the picturesqueness of
the hold bandits taking in the rash
inaiuens, holding them for ransom,
getting the money, and then marrying
and settling down to domestic quiet,
and the enjoyment of the mirth and
laughter of the little bandits.
Where else are there girls with
the kind of spirit that takes them
into such adventure? No English
girl, or German or French girl, with
her environments and training, would
ever think of such a scheme, much
less make a determined effort to exe-
cute it. But two Yankee maidens,
thrilled by the burning plots of the
novels of the Duchess, red glowing
in their cuoeks, and strength swelling
their ankles, hasten across the wild
Macedonian frontier to be kidnaped.
Nothing but matrimony could come
from the success of such a romantic
incident. But will the girls find the
bandits arrayed in the picturesque
costumes they wear on the stage?
Will they be the gentle mannered
heroes celebrated in song and story?
Will their foreheads tie swathed in
silken plaids, and their legs bandaged
with soft buckskin, and their sides
gleam with pearl and silver handles
pistols and daggers? Distance lends
enchantment to the view of highway-
men and outlaws. They are pictur-
esque in print, and the silly girls
would find them brutal as- husbands,
and lacking every element of soft-
ness, and every semblance of senti-
ment, i . Turpin in fact and fiction
are two different persons.
But if the foolish girls get them-
selves kidnaped and marry the ban
dits they stand a good chance to be-
come widows, when they can return
to America arrayed in fresh weeds
of mourning and make a fortune
lecturing or writing for the maga-
zines. All the evil in the world lias
its concomitant of good—perhaps.
The pie hunters are finding that
Mr. Roosevelt, in the strength of his
will and his independence, resembles
Oliver Cromwell, one of his favorite
heroes in history.
By adhering to his civil service
ideals in making appointments in the
insular possessions Mr. Roosevelt will
disappoint Dio politicians, but he will
please the people.
Denmark's retaliation against the
i'tiit 'il States, on account of the du-
ties assessed on chocolate, is evidence
of the "madness of the melancholy
I lane."
Tile most strenuous man in Mo-
rocco is the one who can capture the
greatest number of maidens for his
hare in.
I he lucky stranger who comes west
and finds a gold mine might appro-
priately he called a "yellow tender-
foot."
A telegram from the president to
(he anxious candidate would he a
spark of comfort.
Only a man who has busted a
bronco is qualified for putting in trol-
ley poles.
Irolley disasters commence even
before the cars get here.
A Familiar Illustration.
Now, Johnny, said the Sunday
school teacher, "you may tell us what
a prophet is."
"Wiiy," replied Johnny, "it’s a fel-
low that's always lookin' for a chance
to say ’I told you so."’

several hundred bags of mail were hus-

If the steamer arrives on schedule

Every Fischer piano possesses a
charming individuality. It is different
in many ways from a piano of any oth-
er make. It is unmistakably a Fischer
piano—now, or after a life time of
service. It proclaims it at every turn,
at every feature. Fischer pianos are
built upon fixed principles, and every
instrument is judged by an unswerv-
ing standard before it leaves the fac-
tories. W. G. WALZ CO.
If you have a Fischer piano, you
can feel that it is beyond criticism.
Its reputation is more than local. The
Fischer is known north, east, south
and west, and in every land. Fischer
pianos sell at from $425 -to *475.

If you fee! that you can not afford
a Fischer piano, let us tell you some-
thing of the Schiller, whose best tes-
timonial is the piano itself. Real
merit has gained for it an esteem
and reputation for possessing all the
highest qualities which go to the for-
mation of a reliable instrument. The
tone, finish, durability and other
points of superiority embodied in the
Schiller piano make it beyond ques-
tion the best instrument for the
money. Schiller pianos sell at $350.
