Tucson Restaurant Keeper Who got
into Trouble is in this city.
There is weeping, wailing and e-nash-
ng of teeth in Tucson over the depart-
re of the proprietor of a new restaur
nt on CoDgress street, says the Star.
notice, put on the door JLuesday
vening, says repairs are oeing maae
the kitchen ana business will be
resumed in the morning. This is
hursday and"the tnorninir is not yet,"'
that is for the restaurant. Conflicting
tories float around on the gentle
zephyrs that play with one's whiskers,
the substance of which are about as
follows: Mr. Wallace came here from
Albuquerque and on last Sunday morn
ing opened a nicely and newly fitted
restaurant for the public patronage, a
goodly share of which he received.
10 verythingr seemed lovely for his ven
ture until Tuesdav evening-, when the
aforementioned notice was posted on I
the door. Since then nothing has been
served to the hungry patrons, and thus
it is explained to a Star man by one
who is supposed to know: "You see
all the arrangements were made
for Wallace and be opened up with
very promising prospects last Sun
day, as you know. He left his wife in
El Paso, and after getting- things go
ing he wrote or wired her to get some
money out of the bank in El Paso and
come here. He cii not hear from her
and decided to go to El Paso Tuesday
night. He did so and said he would
bend money by telegraph to pay the
bills that were pressing. His wife came
the night he left and is here now with
out funds, having only gotten a small
amount oi-r. of tbe bank, a large portion
of which she used on a visit just prior
tocoming here. He continued to El
Paso and nothiug has been heard from
him since, and he has told so many
conflicting tales one is puzzled which
to believe." "Don't he know his wife is
here and her circumstances" ask the
Star reporter. ilYes, he ought to surely
by this time," was the answer. Anoth
er man says that he has only gone
after additional fixtures, a range, etc.,
and will return and open up again. The
latter lacks any idea of confirmation
from the manner in which the closing
was done. Which is correct and what,
are exactly the facts cannot now be
said, but a heavy, murky air of suspi
cion hangs over the entirety that makes
it look strokey.
A passenger leaving by the T. & P.
the other afternoon asaed the conductor
if he had any rooms on the train where
a feller could go to be.d when he wanted
to. The conductor said there was the
Pullman: there were rooms in that
where the man might have the sought
fnr H.-elns'nn -'What's a Pullman?"
j asked the passenger. This took the
' conductor's breath away. But after
hooking the granger carefully over
said he guessed the tourist sleeper was
about his t-iz.', and he had better go
there. The passenger went and ap
pear ed to be sitislied.
Conductor M -Hugh, of the Santa Fe
had a close ca'l the other day. He
was s anding ou the track at the A. lfc
P.. iur.ction when he chanced to look
ut hist in tiin; to see the hack end of
the A. vV- I'., switch engine's tender
bearing; down on him Mr. McIIugh
does not think it was over two feet
awav. He had presence of mind to
step baek just as the tender grazed
him. A second more, and he would
have been run over and cut all to
piec.'S.
Conductor McITugta, of the Santa Fe,

REGARDLESS OF
George Parker, A
VALUABLE IMPROVEMENT.
New Addition to the Sisters' Hospital
Completed.
The addition to the Sisters' hospital
is practically completed, and gives the
sisters most excellent conveniences for
their work. The chapel extension has
been finished, and will be dedicated
next Tuesday at 0 a. m., with high mass
by Father Pinto and other special
exercises appropriate, to the occasion.
The seating capacity of the chapel has
been doubled and will comfortably ho'd
now perhaps 125 people. The finish is
in natural woods oiled, and the walls
and ceiling have been covered with
elegant paper in light drab tints with a
frieze of wreath work in darker and
harmonizing hues. The three chande
liers were presented by young men in
town, and other Catholics have contri
buted to the adornment of the place.
The altar firish is attractive and Wil
ton carpets to match the walls will be
laid through the center aisle. It is an
elegant little chapel, and the sisters
take just pride in showing the visitors
through it.
The new addition gives other and
much needed conveniences. Suites of
rooms are thus provided for the ac
commodation of sick sisters from other
latitudes who may be sent here to
recuperate during the mild winters,
and twelve sisters can be cared for in
the new infirmary. The verandas have
been carried around so that the in
valid sisters can have the benetit of
the promenade and the sun, only this
section of the verandas is separated
from those frequented by the lay
patients. A range as large as the one
at Fort Bliss has been set up in the
basement. It is ( feet square and is
equipped with all the latest improve
ments. The ovens are especially con
venient and commodious. The cellar
has been cemented and will be parti
tioned off for the various conveniences
needed. The cost of the entire addi
tion is a little over SFS00O. and the
sisters are very proud of the increase
of their plant, and the economical
manner in which the money has been
expended. In time they intend build
ing a north wine to the hospital, the
counterpart of the south wing. The,
entire institution is a model of neat
ness, cheerfulness and quiet elegance.
Breaking' "Em in.
The street railway company is
breaking in a new lot of mules, and the
Mexican drivers are having a fine time
of it. One Aztec stands in the center
of the platform holding the reins,
while there is a compadre on each side
of him each hanging onto a rope as if
for dear life, the ropes being fastened
to either side of the bit in the mule's
mouth. When his muleship yanks to
the right, the gentle aid-de-camp on
the left of the charioteer, hauls in his
ribbons, and Mr. Mule is pulled around
into the prop r path: and the converse
of this proposition holds true when his
tmib shi) swerves to the left. It is an
animated picture, especially when the
inule tries "six ways for Sunday," and
has the three artists behind him jump
ing all over creation and shouting in
Tomochi, Tarahumara. Yaqui. Ixieu
atacoatln, and other dialects that ob
tain to the south of the Bravo. The
passengers enjoy the scene for a few
moments; but after the mule has tried j mg the advantages of the trolley svs
to climb over the car, through the car tern. When this system was introduced
and into the nearest second story into Salt Lake City, ii-.'ople would not
window, with the three Aztec artists
after him, the delay becomes just a
trille monotonous.

SCENIC FORT BLISS.
An Electric Car Line Would Bring- the
Reservation Within Easy Reach.
If wheelmen only realized what a
fine bicycle path there is between
the cemetery road and Fort Bliss there
would be wheelmen chasing up and
down there a good deal. The county
and cemetery roads are in excellent
condition so that it is cement road
riding all the way. Two bicyclists
made tbe distance between the reser
vation and. the S. P. railroad track in
about six minutes last evening, and
got down into town in about twenty
minutes from the time they left the
edge of the reservation. The evening
view up there is beautiful. The jagged
hog-back of the Samalayucas shows up
against the southern sky in the most
grotesque way, while below them can
be 6een the misty outlines of part of
the Candelarias. The western hills
and the mountain spurs adjoining make
an attractive sight in the setting sun
as the deepening shadows make more
noticeable the parts 6till lighted up
by the sun's diminishing rays. Then
the lessening beams play hide and seek
with the straggling clouds of all hues
and shades, and as tbe sunlight fades;
away, there is cot that dead, leaden
pall that marks the twilight of northern
climes, but a rich plum color growing
deeper" and deeper with intensifying
crimson shades until ere one realize?
it,; the daylight is gone and the bright
stars are smging their nocturne, as
nature lies peaceful and still. As the
fading sunlight struck the Hucco tanks
last evening, the great rocky knob
seemed to giow like the blending tints
of ruby and amethist, with shades ol
lavender and deep purple playing over
the face of the great p'ain between.
It was a lovely sight: and then the air
is so much better than down in the city
where the "wheels of commerce" keep
the dust a flying all day.
El Paso people don't realize what an
attractive spot they have so close at
hand in the Fort Bliss reservation. It
is suggestive of a great park, and which
will be made the more beautiful as the
size of the garrison is increased, and
the government expends more money
there. It will not b- until there is an
electric car line running out to the re
servation, that the place will be ap
predated as it should be. It will be a
lovely ride out there from this city
when this much needed enterprise has
been inaugurated. The oars might
start from the junction of El Paso and
San Antonio streets, run down the
county road to where the first road
turns off to the left, and then up the
bench in a direct line to the reserva
tion. The rue need not be over fifteen
minutes. Electric lines are cumins' to
bn a necessity in this city. It has been
noticed that people do a great deal
more riding and trafficking in a town
where there are electric roads running
out of it. An electric line might with
profit bo built down the county road in
the direction of Ysleta, to be gradually
extended to that poii.t: and another
line might well be built up through the
smelter, and when the great rcservo r
is built, extended to Anthony. If the
matter is agitated and kepi before the
public, something will he dene ere
long. As it is, Kl Paso is way behind
even little Lis Vegas, which is eri tv-
Dellevo it was to he '.tie success that it
proved to be, us the fesMve e'ectric
mulo was the sole motive pow.'r at that
time, and comparatively little riding
was done. But the. inccase in struct
car traffic was marvelous when the
electric lines were started.
