Engines :'. ind "0 of the Delaware

run down the valley Thursday. The
foiiuer was attached to the Saratoga

train on the Ontnrlo and Western was
twenty-five minutes late and this
brought the two trains opposite at
I'niondnle with a twenty-five minute
run ahead of them on parallel tracks.
No effort wero made to race by the
engineers but the passengers became
very much Interested In the movements
or the two trains. First one would
be slightly ahead; then the other. The
Saratoga express was the heavier as
It had thr-'o ears to two on the other
train. This difference wan somewhat
mad? up by the fact that the Ontario

more stations between this city and
Scrnnton than did lis competitor. As

From the Chicago Record.
It Is true that In Geimany private char
ity does not show Itself on the magnifi
cent scale It does In the United States;
nothing like It, In fact. Tnls Is partly
owing to there being much less need of
charity, slnco state and municipal chuil
ty. being of older date, are thoroughly
organized. Still, the sums annually given
privately for charitable purposes in Ger
many are largo In the aggregate. J'or
Prussia alone for IS!) the legacies left by
citizens to all sorts of public Instltutionr,

To all the Prussian universities togither

Ministry Is needed before any such

then the need of such a rule Is shown
and the legacy Is rejected, Thai has been,

Railroad and Rich Mines.
El Paso, Tex., .nn. 7. 1S9S. Tho
quickness with which rumor of n rich
strike works through a community,
through a whole country, for that mat
ter, almost pnse? belief. Everybody In
the Southwest knows very well that
there Is no richer mineral section In the
country than thnt In the western and
southern half of Xaw Mexico. Pros
pectors arc all tV time wandering
through the mountains of that region
the San Andtw, the Slc-rra Caballo,
the Organs, the White Mountains, the
Onpltnns, tho Sacramontos, the Guada-
loupes, nnd dozens of otners, nnci no
week passes without word of promis
ing discoveries'. In fact It Is well
known to all who take any special in
terest In these mutters that the mln
ernl wenlth hidden in these mountains
Is simply beyond computation. Tho
dlllleulty Is thnt they are Inaccessible.
In most of thc-m the timber is scarce,
the water Ip scarce, nnd consequently
they cannot be worked except nt great
cost and with many hordshlps. When
ever theas legions ato opened up by
railroads, as they soon will be, mining
claims will be staked out by the hun
dred In svery one of them.
A curious Illustration Is Just trans
piring. Work on the El Paso and
Northeastern railroad, which Is being
constructed by the Xew Mexico Rall
Avay and Coal company, has now reach
ed a point about 60 miles from El Paso,
close by the famous Jarlllas pronounc
ed Hlg'h-re-ns, with the accent on the
second syllable. These mountains nro
a geolDgicu! freak. They are largely
composed of granite, porphyry and
trnchyt'.. and have been up-thrust by
some volcanic action. They are "play
mountains," as it weie. They have all
the style and strut, all the rugged fea
tures of the Rockies, but on 11 minia
ture smln. They are about 12 miles
long northwest to southeast and per
haps a mile nnd a half wide.
Rlpplei of rumor have como from
them time and time again of fabulous
gold deposits, of torquolse mines, of
Iron ore almost pure, that covers the
ground ns thickly as the r-tones in a
termini! moraine, of silver, of copper,
and of almost everything In a mineral
way that tempts men to risk life and
brave dangers for wealth. But there
is not .1. drop of wntcr within 23 miles
of the Jaiillas; there isn't a spring nor
a semblance of a spring. The moun
tains themselves are practically bar
ren. The mesa and the sands about
them are almost a desert, save during
tho rainy season, and while Its Influ
ence continues.
During Christmas week two EI Paso
gentlemen interested in the new rail
road drove and prospected in the Jarll
la region and beyond. When they went
In. eleven men were In those mountains
hunting for mineral and locating
claims. When the came out 12 days
later more than forty men were there,
and now, less thun a week afterward,
more than throe hundred sturdy pros
pectors are In lhoe mountains hoping
to share In the Sabulous wealth they
contain.
As the railroad proceeds and touches
the Sacramento and the White moun
tains and the Black and the San An
dres nnd the Capitals and all tho other
ranges of- that rich region, this rush
will be repeated and emphasized. It Is
believed that in the neighborhood of
Three Rivers, near the Mescnrlero In
dian reservation, the mineral denoslts
are monstrously great even for this
Aonderful country. This railroad will
go directly to that land of gold.
It ha-4 just been discovered thnt at
one time the neighborhood of the Jar
lllas, now so utterly waterless and so
nearly barren, was thickly Inhabited.
Ruins of a great Aztec city, or per
haps a city built by some people prior
to the .Aztecs have Just been discov
ered. The mesa for a great distance Is
covered with fragments of pottery and
great numbers of th3 matatas grind
ing stones consisting of a mortar and
pestle that this people used, are nlso
found scatteied about, and thy are
In a wonderfully perfect stale of pres
ervation. It Is quite unusual 10 find
ancient matatas that ate not chinned
or broken, but although hundreds and
hundred of ysara have elapsed since
the women painfully ground corn In
the stone mills they are as perfect
today as when their owners left them.
It seems certain that there must have
been a water supply In that region
when this great city existed. Two
hundred miles to tho north, the ruins
of the Gran Quevera amazes every per
son who penetiates to them. Rut very
few have yet done so since then, as
at the Jarlllas, thete Is no water or
evidence of water. Tradition has It
that Pt one time the Rio Grnnde ran
far to the eastward of Its present lied
but that a vi.leanle upheaval turned
(he waters of the river to the west, at
the same time that the noxious gases
of the eruption killed the inhabitants of
alt that region. It Is probable that
some hundreds or thousands c.t yenrs
ago this whole section from the head
waters of the Pecos south to the Texas
line was Inhabited by tribes who had
attained a considerable degree of civ
ilization. Traces of such settlements
are found In a great many places and
almost every year some new evidence
comes to light tending to prove the
truth of this supposition.
The ruins of this great city of the
Jutllhis lias never before been reported.
How extensive the remains will prove
and whether anything will he demon
stratd to throw light on the precise
era In which those psople lived, cannot
new be said, but surely Fclentlfle men
will not let puss an opportunity like
this to thoroughly Investigate such an
interesting subject, now that they can
reuch by railroad a site of so much
interest.
Thirty miles beyond tho Jarlllas are
the Sacramento!, T110 El Paso and
Northeastern liillroad will, within a
few weeks, have reached those moun
tains and the line will be continued Im
mediately and directly to La Luz and
Tularosa and so on to the great coal
denoslts at Salado. Between Tularocu
und La Luz free copper Is renorted to
have been found In large quantities
and a great deal of excitement has been
stirred up by It. Immense deioslts of
copier ore. are known to be close by.
If It Bhould prove ti be true that free
copper does exlnt bllll nnother reason
has baen found for calling this coun
try the richest and most promising In
u mineral way Hint Is now open to In
vestors with small means.
This Is one of the most wonderful
fruit producing countries on tho con
tinent and with railroad communica
tion will undoubtedly come 11 great in
flux of settlers, People familiar only
with tho f 1 ult and crop yields of the
middle nnd eastern statc3 have no no
Hon of the quantity or the quality of
all the harvests here.
The snma effort that ekes out a bare
living for a family In Pennsylvania, for
Instance, brings wealth In these fa
vord Xew Slexlco valleys. At present
the cost of land Is everywhere very
reasonable, but there la hound to be a
good rise In many places Foon otter
the railroad gets In operation.

to stay permanently. The organist also
urged her to stay, us ho was more than
pleased with the brilliant way she
could read and sing. The church Is the
one up town where the famous Rev.
Madison Peters preaches. It Is a
wealthy anil representative congrega
tion and Miss Knlser will certnlnly lie
treated by It very handsomely. It Is
always the unexpected that happens
with our coloratura. She has a way
of getting there every time that Is quite

cently been winning nmv laurels In
concert work nt Buffalo. Of Mr. Car
ter's efforts tho Buffalo Commercial
speaks as follows; "Mr. Carter Is or
ganist at Rev. Dr. Thomas K. Beecher's
church In Eimlra and director of music
nt the Kinilrn. Reformatory. In last
evening's recital he proved himself to
be a musician of ability. Mr. Carter,
assisted by Miss Evelyn Rosworth,
Ella Harris and Edwin Grady, also de
lightfully entertained nt the Eimlra
Women's Musical club. No. 14 Baldwin
street, last Thursday afternoon, tn
justice to Mr. Carter special mention
.mould be made of his rendering of the
B flat minor Scherzo by Chopin, which
pianists know requires great strength,
self control nnd wide range of dyna
mic, all of which requirements were so
ably met by him."

play more popular, insnlring and sen
sational music than any other organ
ization kn6wn.

To Whom It May Coucern:
I have been troubled greatly with indigestion aud decided to try tho

Free Treatment for Catarrh.
MISS LTiAHA STOrctivKK.
Pittsburg, la.
I had chronic catarrh for over a year.
I tried many remedies, but got no :e
lief until I saw an advertisement In the
paper of your free treatment for chronic
catarrh. I tried It nnd I think I am welt.
I recommend Pe-ru-na to all my friends
who are afflicted with catarrh.

Catarrh or the Bladder.
Mil. SAMFKIj SANDF.US,

My disease was catarrh of the methra
and bladder. My symptoms were the
siinvi ns tliLse given In "The Family
Physician No. 2." 1 got a bottle of Pe-ru-na
nnd began taking It, and In a few
days I was relieved and could sleep nnd
rest all night. I think that Pe-ru-na Is
a valuable remedy. I hail irk'd other
very highly recommended medicines, but
they did mn no good. My physician told
1110 that 1 could nut expect to bo cured
of my trouble, an 1 was getting to be an
old mail (57 years.) I feel thankful for
what Pe-ru-na has done for me.
Samuel Sanders.
Bronchitis Cured.
I wrote you some time nco telling you
that Pe-ru-na had completely cured the
bronchitis, with which I had been af
flicted for somo time.
A short time after I
ceased taking tho Pe-ru-na
I had a slight
attack of tho bron
ehlal cough. I Imme
diately took one bot
tle of Pe-ru-na, which
stopped It. Atter that
1 took la grippe,
which I hod four suc
cesclve winters. Al
though I hnd cough
MR, O. IM'ElinY, with It, I had not a
Atchison, Kan, symptom of tho bron
chial cough which
had always troubled mo bctore, I hearti
ly recommend Pe-ru-na as a cure for
bronchitis, O. P. Perry.
