rimes and Telegraph Weeping the
Starch oat of each Other's Collar?.
Says the Psalmist: "Behold how
good and pleasant it is for brethren to
dwell together in unity. It is like the
precious ointment upon the head that
ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's
beard; that went down to the skirts of
his garment.
The above text is more or less ap
propos in view of the charming little
pleasantries now passing between the
Times and the Telegraph, and which
may perhaps, without undue elasticity
of the imagination, be likened to the
oil that ran down Aaron's beard, even
to the skirts of his garment. Only, in
this particular instance there is a sus
picion of the oil being that of the bit
ter aloe: and the slain left on the skirts
of the garments in question may re
quire a liberal application of benzine
and other powerful cleansing sub
stances to effect obliteration.
The Times trips the Telegraph upon
a bogus dispatch set out basely as a
decoy. Then it adds insult to injury by
calling the Telegraph "that fake around
the corner," and further heaps on the
tar and feathers by boldly and wilfully
accusing that great and good man, the
editor of the Telegraph, of wilfully and
miliciously -swiping Associated Press
dispatches "to the detriment, infamy
and disgrace of the fair name of defen
dant, " as the legal formula says in a
ibel suit. The Times also referred
feelingly to the Telegraph editor as
that "ex-lessee," as though "ex-
essee" was some new term coined
espeoially to fit the character of one
who had fallen so low that commonly
accepted terms in the English language
ouldnotdo justice on the occasion.
So a new expression must be devised to
'make the punishment lit the crime."
The Telegraph picks up the gauntlet
thrown down with pleasing alacrity,
and replies feelingly yes, feelingly.
The Telegraph hurls withering sco-
hoborn at the editor of the Times,
and pretends to do up his social status
browQ by calling him a "half breed
gnoramus, and throws back in his
alleged semi-Aztec teeth the base in-
inations as to the worth, or alleged
no-worth-at-all of the Morning Tele
graph and its press service. The al
legation is vigorously given the lie,
aDd the alligator is in covert and
nsiduous phrases invited to cool his
heels where the worm dieth not and
the fire is not quenched and where ice
does not cut much of a figure.
Oh, it is just too beautiful for any
thing. "On with the dance, let joy be
unconlined."
George S. Bovee in Sau Francisco.
George Bovee, the noted professional
rider of El Paso, arrived in this city on
Friday morning, says the Chronicle.
He will remain all the winter, to par
ticipate in the Valedrome events. Bo
vee, while he cannot be classed as the
champion of Texas, as has been fre
quently stated, is a rider of exceptional
merit and a furious sprinter, tie first
came into prominence at the national
meet at Louisville while then an ama
teur. Bovee will probably compete in
the Christmas meet, both in the one
third mile scratch and the mile -handicap.
The Christmas meet will witness the
reappearance ot "Jjittie" liuss, and
possibly George Puller, while Cook
will form the third of the Olympic
kindergarten. Met arland, btevens.
liovee and Morris will ride in competi
tion for the first time in this city, while
C. E. Dow is going to attempt to wrest
the shield from Becker in an unpaoed

Another meeting of the delegates to
the national assemblv from the North

Ziegler now comes out with an offer
to race any rider on the coast for a

It is probable the nobles of the Mystic
Shrine of Dallas will soon begin
pilgrimage with camels and tiger across
the sands t hat lie between the Dallas
oasis and that called El Paso on the
west. Ilella Temple, in Dalla, is one
large numbers, presided over by Geortre
Green, potentate, John G. Hunter
chief raban, and Henry F. Burt,
assistant raban. It has come to the
knowledge of the nobles that at K

who have not yet trod thfl hot sands

Lutheran Christmas.
The Lutherans will hold their Christ
mas celebration at 7 p. m., tomorrow
n North Stanton street chapel near
the Wellington. The decorations were
completed this morning and are well
worth going some distance to see.
Three real fat Christmas trees spread
their cheerful branches almost the en
tire width of the room and are fairly
bespangled with shining, iridescent
decorations and trimmings so that the
rear of the room is all aglow. Then
there are evergreen trimmings around
the walls, and back on the wall ara
these mottos; Ehre sei Gott in dor
Heoheund Freide auf Erden Den
Menschen ein Wohlgefallon. In fact
the good dominie and his worthy frau
have just spread themselves, and the
Lutherans can feel that they need not
take a back seat for any body this
Christmas is the decorative line.
Perhaps-
The city council will try desperately
hard to meet tonight; and if there is no
session, it will be because of the lack of
a quorum. An application will be
made for the loan of the artesian well
machinery to the U- S. government for
the boring of a well at Fort Bliss for
artesian water, and it there is any
objection the council would like to
know it. The mayor says in his opin
ion the council will be unanimous in
favor of granting the application he
win oe anyhow; and the city clerk savs
iu this connection, "Speak now. or for
ever alter noia your peace. " When a
Herald reporter asked his honor and
tho clerk what was to be done with the
pipings still in the well, they both with
one accord exclaimed, "Oh, go ask
Stewart!" Now Stewart threatens to
brain the next man who says artesian
well piping to him.
Attention is called to the fact that
the illustration on the front page was
designed, engraved and a plate made
of it in the time of two hours, at the
Herald office.

THE WAR FOR LIBERTY.
The Cuban Forces on the Move.
ican Students Stirred up,
-Mex
The students in the city of Oaxaca
in a public meeting have passed resolu
tions deploring tho death of Maceo
and urging the government to recog
nize the independence of the Cuban
republic. Cuban sentiment is intense
and all news from the United States
showing equal warmth of sentiment in
the great republic is read with great
interest.
General Rivera is moving his forces,
and several light engagements have
been reparted in the neighborhood of
Artemisa and west of that at the foot
of the hills. Ooe of Rivera's strong
holds was attacked Saturday at day
light by a large column of Spanish
troops, and but for Captain Lynn's
efforts with his forminable dynamite
gun, they would have captured it. As
it was, they fought for several hours,
but the dea-ily charges of dynamite
bursting among the thick, crowded
ranks of the troops terrified even the
boldest and the Spaniards retreated
in dismay. It is said that the loss of
the Spanish was over 200.
Passengers from Havana report that
Havana military circles are agitated
over the reports coming from Matanzas
province over the doings of the insur
gent guerilla leader, Arcolo. He has
defeated two Spanish columns with
considerable loss to them, and has
captured three towns held by Spanish
garrisons. He captured two convoy
traiDS near Laperca last week, and
took 100 prisoners, all of whom, save
one, a Cuban, were released. He was
summarily executed. Captain Arcolo
sayinp, so it is reported, that it was
hard enough to fight the Spanish not
to have Cubans turn against them. In
the towns of Madruga, Limones and
St. Nicholas the Spanish garrisons are
fairly besieged inside their lines or
sentinels, the insurgents picking off all
who venture outside.
Captain General Weyler's second
campaign in l-"inar del Tiio, says a ivey
West dispatch, was marked by oae ol
the most shocking butcheries of the
war. After making a vain effort to
locate Maceo, Weyler fixed his head
quarters at San Cristobal, a considera
ble town of Pinar del Kio. The captain
general then issued a proclamation
commanding all the Cuban families
in the neighborhood of San Cristobal
to leave their homes and come into the
city. In obedience to the proclamation
nearly 200 Cubans men, women and
children left their homes and went to
San Cristobal. In a short while food
became scarce and the Cubans appealed
to Weyler to be allowed to return to
their homes, where they could get
something to eat. Weyler finally
agreed, and the Cubans left for their
homes. Two days after the Cubans
departed, Weyler summoned one of his
officers and ordered him to take a
battalion and raid the country about
San Cristobal. The officer was
instructed to raid the country and to
treat all persons as enemies in arms,
Weyler stating that their presence at
home after being ordered to San
Cristobal was evidence of their enmity
to Spain. Weyler's instructions were
obeyed literally. The country round
about San Cristobal was laid waste, and
ia the raid twelve Cuban families who
had. returned home to procure food by
Weyler's permission were exterminat
ed. Many of tho Cubans, warned of
the raid, lied to the woods, or many
more would have been butchered.
A dispatch from Rome to the London
Daily News says: "All here seems to
prove that Spain has been preparing
for the event of warlike complications
with the Lmted btates. The hurried
manufacture of a large number of
cartridges "has been ordered at Brecia,
and four cruisers have been ordered
from the Ansaldo yards in Genoa."
Something To Retlect On
Northern people coming to this city
to spent the winter are auvertising for
'pleasant, commodious rooms with
sunny exposure ' J.nis is all very
nice provided pleasant commodious
rooms with sunny exposure" can al
ways be found, and in the mo
desirable localities. The trouble
seems to be that most of the applicants
for "p!eaant commodious rooms with
sunny exposure," expect to Dtia rooms
overlooking Loug Island Sound, with
oyster shell drive in front of the lawn.
and so forth, and so forth, where they
can aream tue nappy hours away
listening to the swash ot the waves on
the sea girt shore, and with the r-r-r

Another Hold Up.
An associated Press dispatch from
Kansas City last night says: Blue Cut,
made historic through the operations
there of the James-Younger bands, was
the scene of a fourth hold up by road
agents.
At 9:20 o'clock the St. Louis and
Chicago express which left Kansas
City at 8:4", was flagged at Blue Cut
and came to a stand still. Masked
men immediately covered the engineer
and fireman and compelled them to
get down from their cab. . At the same
time another member of the band un
coupled the express car from the rest
of the train. The robbers quickly
climbed aboard the locomotive and
express car before the surprised train
men had time to collect their wits the
bandits were speeding down the steep
grade beyond the Blue Cut with the
engine and express car, and Express
Messenger A. J. Freir of St. Lou's, a
prisoner in the express car.
The car was heavily stocked with
Christmas goods of widely varying
values, and the messenger was heavily
armed. But it is feared he stood no show
against the robbers. The enginemen
trotted down the line after their en
gine, but with what success is not yet
known. "The police have been notified,
etc."
Greater Republic Recognized.
President Cleveland yesterday recog
nized the new greater republic of
Central America, composed of Salvador,
Nicaragua and Honduras, by receiving
the envoy of the new government Mr.
J. D. Rodriguez.
After presenting his credentials, the
president said:
"I take pleasure in recognizing in
the United States of America, the
Greater Republic of Central America
and ia entering into diplomatic
relations therewith. Such recognition
Is given and such relations entered
upon in distinct understanding that
the responsibility of rvrh ri,mJZ&-,?tm
reDublics to the United States of
America remains wholly unaffected. I
discern in the articles of tDe association
from which the diet derives its powers
a step towards a closer union ot the
Central American states in the interest
of their common defense and general
welfare, and I welcome as a precursor
of the other steps to be taken in the
same direction and which it is to be
hoped may eventually result in the
consolidation ol all or tne states 01
Central American as one nation for all
purposes of foreign relations and inter
courses." Deaths From Alcohol.
Two deaths, the result of alcohol
poisoning, occured in Mattoon,iii., yes
terday: several other young men are
under the care of physicians, and more
deaths may be announced. A number
of young man ranging from 17 to 22
years of age and belonging to a club,
started in on a holiday ceieoration iast
Sunday. One young man supplied the
crowd with crude alcohol and the
youths compounded a mixed drink of
alcohol, water, sugar ana cinsamon
drops. Some of the partakers became
ntoxicated, and jesterday Joan Aiaai-
son died. Last evening Bert Wellan
died in convulsions.
The investigations of the coroner's
ury brought to light the fact that the
alcohol used had been taken from the
Maratoon gas works and is known as
wood alcohol, considered to be a deadly
poison if taken in any quantity. Physi
cians express surprise that any 01 me
young man survived.
Cooling Down.
A press dispatch of last night says
that charges and counter charges in
connection with the management of
the National bank of Illinois have en
grossed the attention of the financial
community to the exclusion ot the
day s eveDts surrounaing the big ia-
tional bank collapse, rne arrest 01
bankers Drever and Berger and dis
charge of Receiver Roseland of the.
bank and continuation of savings of
depositors run on the Illinois Trust and
Savings bank and Hiberian Banking
association, were the principal develop
ments. The public scare is practically
over the complete restoration of con
fidence seems to have been effected..
Gay and Giddy Kid Elope.
James Canovan, 75 years old.andMrs.
Anna Murphy, 5S years old, of Chicago,
eloped from the homes of their chil
dren recently and were married by a
priest without the sanction or presence
of their numerous relatives. The mar
riage had been vigorously opposed by
their children and the aged pair left
their homes by stealth and with a clos
ed carriage and other traditional
elopement accompaniments succeeded
in having the ceremony periormea.
In pursuant of the action of the Unit
ed States court in foreclosure proceed
ings, the St. Joseph and Grand Island
road was sold, and bid in yesterday by
P. Olcott, the New iork chairman
of the bondholders committee at the
sum of $3,750,000. There was no other
bidders.
