There must bo a mistako about the above as Col. Hudson was re moved from the position of agent by Gov. Albright several days ago. On Wednesday night thero were two men arrested for drunk and dis orderly at Cimmaron. Next day they were taken before Esquire Stri rens and fined (5 each and costs, and turned over to Constable Charrette to hold in custody until tho fine and coBts were paid. That eveuing the town was entered by twenty armed men from the Ponil, who declared that the men should not pay the fines and otherwise menaced the constable who, however, held his ground against the mob. Yesterday morn ing 60 more men from the adjacent country, all armed with revolvers and rifles, took possession of the town and demanded of the justice the lib eration of the prisoners. Finding himself powerless Justice Slrivens had to let the men go, and tho rescu ers immediately furnished them horses and arms, after which they all left tho town. It is understood that the names of 31 of the rioters were secured and the matter will be presented to tho next grand jury. Springer Stock man. CLEVELAND DOUBTFUL. Candidate Cleveland is quoted by some of his friends as very doubtful as to the result in November, and as being wholly unwilling to accept tho rosy views of the rainbow chasing leaders of his party. It is entirely to Mr. Cleveland's credit as a politi cal observer that he feels as he does. There is nothing in tho situation to encourago a hope of Democratic vio tory. Mr. Harrison beat Mr. Cleve land when the latter had tho prestige and influence of the whole adminis tration back of him. New York Press. COTOT CHAK0E3. The New Mexican's information from the city of Washington is to the effect that tho resignation of Chief Justice James O'Brien is now in tho hands of the Minnesota sen ators and will doubtless be presented next Wednesday, should the judge receive the nomination for judge at the convention to bo held next Tues day by the Republicans of his dis trict in his home state, Minnesota. It has also come to the New Mexi can's knowledge, that as soon as the resignation has been tendered a strong effort is to be made to secure the appointment of District Attorney L. C. Fort, of Las Vegas, to the va cancy. The New Mexican knows of no reason why this information should in any manner be doubted. New Mexican. LAKES' WCHLS'S FAX UZETHS. The special meeting of the Ladies' World's Fair association, Saturday afternoon, was one of particular in terest and was attendod by a very large number of enthusiastio ladies. Mrs. F. L. Albright, the efficient lady manager of the territory, was present and entertained and instructed the ladies with reports of the work being done by women in various parts of the country, and by giving tho ladies particulars in regard to their work. Miss Henry called the meeting to order, and after a few encouraging remarks in regard to the proceedings of the territorial board in their meet ing at Santa Fc, stated the object of tho meeting to be to listen to the re marks and suggestions of Mrs. Al bright, concluding with the remark that most of the work to be done tho territory must be done by the la dies, and as Mrs. Albright had but recently returned from Chicago, where she had personally interviewed Mrs. Potter Palmer in relation to the work, her informatian would be es pecially interesting and helpful. Miss Henry then introduced Mrs, Albright, who pleasantly greeted the ladies, expressing herself pleased with the interest manifested. The secretary read the full report of the proceedings of the territorial board at their last meeting, whereby the ladies received a general knowledge of the work being done in the terri tory. Mrs. Albright then took tho floor and held the undivided atten tion of all present during her re marks. She first spoke of her recent travels, said she had met a number of the lady managers of different states, and in comparing notes with them came home encouraged with tho work ot the women of New Mex ico. She then read sketches ot work being done by various organizations Hinois, for example, is to have a "model home" as their exhibit, special attention to bo given to the convenience, sanitary arrangements, heating, lighting, etc. In connection with this item Mrs. Albright stated that Illinois ladies had $00,000 for their exhibit. San Diego is to send collection of fish preserved in al cohol. Ohio will collect old coins. etc. Ono feature of California's ex hibit will be a "jelly palace." It is to bo 16x20 feet, and 25 feet high, composed of glasses of various col ored jelly, tho interior to bq lighted by electricity, and tho cost is esti mated at 2,700. Foreign countries are taking an unusual interest and active steps in the matter. Thousands ot car loads of Goods are already at Chicago waiting to be placed when the build nigs are completed. lncse wero only a few of the many items read, but enough to convince those present of the grandeur of tho great expo sition. Mrs. Albright said that the women's building is finished, and is beautiful, surpassing all expectations. The dedicatory exercises of the World's fair buildings will take place October 20, 21 and 22, 1892, and tho president and his cabinet, the United States supreme court, members of congress and oilier prominent per sons will be present on tho occasion. Mrs. Albright also said Mrs. Pot. ter Palmer had told her that one room in tho woman's building had been set apart for tho colonial exhib it of New Mexico. This, Mrs. A. said, was quito a concession to New Mexico, as others had applied for such a room and were refused. Tho women's exhibit of New Mex ico was then taken up and talked over. The question aroso as to the advisability of having separate coun ty exhibits or one grand territorial exhibit, and the ladies wero unani mously in favor of tho latter. Mrs. Albright here gave a description of a design which she said had been sug gested by various remarks and ideal that had been expressed to her. Tho idea was this: that the woman' spe cial exhibit bo a filigree pinon tree, which we will describe as nearly as possible. The base is to bo of pol ished and carved native granite; the trunk of the tree to bo composed of polished blocks of our different kinds of wood; a vino is to entwine the trunk of tho tree, said vine to rep resent the A. T. fc S.F. railroad; tho bark of the tree is to bo made of cop per and put on in such a way that the wood may also be seen; the branches are to represent the coun ties, each county its industries, etc.; every mineral in the territory is to be used, and the work is to be I Goss Military Institute, A chartered school for tho higher education of the sexes.

This tree is to be four feet high, is to revolve, and is to be placed under a ((lass globe in the women's build ing at Chicago. Mrs. Albright told the ladies that Mrs. Palmer and oth ers in Chicago thought the idea grand and earnestly hope the ladies will carry out the plan. We would here remark that a more fitting and beautiful suggestion has not been heard. Mrs. Albright, after explain ing the design fully, offered a prize to tho lady who draws the best de sign of such a tree, said design to be used as a working model. Mrs. Albright then aaid she would ! . like a. history of all the societies here church, benevolent, etc. She said the people in the east were so surprised to hear told that we had such organizations out here. The ladies in Chicago are going to com pile an encyclopedia of ladies' socie ties throughout the country, and it is for this purpose she wishes these histories. Tho question of territorial head quarters at the fair was next dis cussed at somo length, and the ladies were unanimous in the idea of an adobe building illustrating the old timo as well as the modern style. Tho board has tho ground at Chicago for that purpose, but owing to the failure of Arizona to appropriate her proportion of the amount required, the project ot erecting a joint terri torial building at Chicago was aban doned, leaving us without a building until some action is taken by New Mexico herself. The adobe build ing for that purpose is therefore un der consideration. After telling tho ladies about the "baby" building to bo erected at Chicago and inform ing them New Mexico was assessed 00 for said building, Mrs. Albright explained about tho pictures she is to take. She concluded her remarks by thanking the ladies for their at tention and urging that every lady take hold and do her prut, as the suc cess of tho work depends not upon the manager, but upon the ladies, and the credit will bo given to all. Quito a number of ladies signed the constitution, becoming members of the organization, and the meeting adjourned. Jurs. Albright's enthusiasm ana in terest should be an incentive to all the ladies, and in appreciation of her efforts nothing should be left undone to make the women's exhibit of New Mexico a lasting monument and a telling advertisement of the terri tory. 'CHAN3IN3 TEE MAIL BA3 LOCKS. Once in eight years all locks on U. S. mail bags must be changed, if not oftener. This is because after a while a good many lost keys get around and it is not safe to have them so distributed. Just now the equipment division of the postoflice department is making over one-fourth of a million old locks, merely for tho purpose of rendering them different. They were very good in their day, and are still so in other respects. At Mil?; i r n Ur" tmmS U U V u m a is m u m m m v. I ; - VP? FM Mil Used in Millions of Homes 40 Years the Standard.

No other baking powder does such work. first it was suggested that all these locks should be thrown away. The junk men were asked how much they would give for them and they said 20 cents a hundred pounds. This did not seem large, inasmuch as the post office had originally paid 67 cents apiece for tho locks. Therefore it was concluded to make them over again, and this is being done now at a repair shop on C street,at a cost of 6J cents per lock. Washington Star. Affeal cf csimhtal Cases. In tho supreme court this forenoon, in tho case of Hicks, et al., criminal cases which came up on appeal from Dona Ana and Grant counties, a question of much interest to attor neys and litigants was decided. So licitor General Bartlett moved dismiss the case and affirm the judg ment of the court below on th ground that tho cases were not prop erly before tho court, having been brought up on appeal and not by writ of error. The court filed no written opinion, but denied the mo tion, holding that appeal was the proper method of bringing criminal cases up to tho supreme court. At the present term 'there are ten criminal appeals, more than double tho number ever brought np. to the supreme court at one term. In these Solicitor General Bartlett must ap pear and defend the action of the lower court. The task is an onerous ono and will keep tho solicitor gen eral very busily engaged throughout tho term.
