was at first decided to make Mr. Hesse

of the Santa Fe system, but presently
there was a vacancy on the Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Fe, and he was
made general superintendent of the
Texas lines. Mr. Itesseguie left for
Galveoton in his private car on Satur
day to take immediate charge of his
new territory.

Notwithstanding1 Judge Cohhvell's
position the Resolution Went-
The city council held its adjourned
meeting last niht, with his honor and
a "full deck" of aldermen present. The
occasion was the considering of the
hiring of an attorney to collect the
city's back taxes, and the run ended
with a signal defeat for Judge Cold well
and a victory for Messrs. Stewart and
Koberts. The session was full of life
vocally, and Judge Coldwell smote the
circumambient atmosphere with for
ensic oratory early and often; but there
was a big gob of gloom present, in that
there was so nuch water in the gas
main that it seemed at times as though
the Sanhedrin would at any moment be
left in total darkntss. There were
quite a number of citizens present to
witness any circus that might show up
ourmg tne meenng.
Mr. Stewart hoisted the red ball by
asking leave to substitute the following
for bis little resolution of the previous
meeting :
Bo it ordained by the city council of
the city of hi Jr'aso, that Millard Pat
terson, attorney at law, residing: in the
city of El Paso, Texas, be, and he is
hereby employed to collect for the city
of El Paso all taxes which mav now be
delinquent for any year since the city's
first incorporation, and is hereby au
thorized to proceed as the agent and
attorney of said city to collect said
delinquent taxes either by suit or
otnerwise, ar d ne is authorized in any
case where in his judgment the city
has acquired title to any property
through or by virtue of any tax sale,
to sue lor the recovery ol such proper
ty. And in consideration of his ser
vices the city of El Paso does hereby
agree that he shall have one-tenth of
all taxes now delinquent that may be
hereafter collected either by him di
rectly through suit, or by the assessor
and collector of the city of El Paso.
And said city of Kl Paso agrees that he
shall have for his said services all of
the interest that may be collected
hereafter upon any taxes which may
have become due for any year prior to
1S90. And said city agrees that he
shall have, and there shall be conveyed
to h:m, one-tenth of any real estate
the title to which may have been
heretofore acquired by the city at aEy
tax sale, which he may recover in the
city s name by suit.
The city, however, reserves the privi
lege for sixtv days from the time of
recovery of any such real estate to pay
him an amount equal to one-tenth of
the taxes due upon said real estate, and
interest at the rate of six per cent
upon the- amount of taxes due upon
aid real estate from the time taxes
became due thereon until he is paid,
in lieu of his one-tenth interest therein.
Mr. Stewart then stated that he
made the change so that the city might
at any time, if it was deemed wise,
compromise a case. And as to the in
timations of fraud from Judge Coldwell
Mr. Stewart said the resolution had
been shown to all of the aldermen save
two, and it met with their approbation:
in fact the judge himself said that 20 per
cent would be a reasonable sum to nav
This started up Judjre Coldwell who
rose with becoming gravity to say that
it was hardly necessary for him to once
more deny he had allowed that 20 per
cent was tne proper percentage to pay
for the collection of delinquent taxes.
In fact he claimed that the resolution
offered excessive payment. The iudue
was astonished at the simplicity of Mr.
Stewart in acknowledging 'that he had
not shown the resolution to Mr. Del
Htiono and himself, because thev were
opposed to it. Judge Coldwell
claimed the resolution was illegal, and
that the cav charter provided for a
city attorney who should attend to all
the city's legal business, and it was
contrary to the charter of the city
council to delegate to another the
functions of the city attorney. Then
the judge particularly objected to the
resolution in that it deprived the coun
cil of the power to say when these suits
should be instituted. It is the duty of
the city attorney to enforce the collec
tion of the delinquent taxes.
Mr. Clifford then pathetically asked
Judge Coldwell why he did not do it
when he was city attorney. This net
ted the ludsre, ana ne was proceeding-
to give Mr. Clifford a large chunk of
his mind, when the mayor interposed
with the olive branch of peace, and
told Mr. Clifford that he and the iuda-e
might have it out with one another at
some other time. Judge Coldwell
then deprecated the passage of the re
solution in that it showed lack of con
fidence in the city attorney. In fact it
was an assault on him. The speaker
then went ou to claim that the resolu
tion was open to two constructions, and
Mr. Koberts accused him of haggling
over technicalities. Judge Coldwell
denied the validity of the old defense
that the resolution was to correct the
mistakes of . previous administrations,
and claimed that the present aidermen
were to blame for not having collected
the taxes. Mr. Burges had begun
right, but the council had so haudled
the suits that they would not stand.
The incapacity of the present council
ought not to be charged up to the ac
count of its predecessors. The present
council has allowed $47,000
in delinquent taxes to accumulate
while its predecessors were only $13,000
behind. The resolution was of unclean
origin and no good. In reply to a
question from Mr. Stewart, the judge
said he represented the people of El
Paso and not the delinquent tax pav
ers. The forensic racket closed sweetly
witn an insinuation trom Mr. (Jlinord
that as long as Captain Brack thought
20 per cent the proper price to pay for
collecting the taxes, Judge Coldwell
thought that figure was the correct
thing.
Mayor Campbell stated that Mr.
Burges' suits had been d ismissed lest
they should injure the sale of the water
works bonds, and in order that proce
dure might he had under the new law.
fudge Coldwell here rose to move
that the resolution lie submitted to
Davis, Beall & Kemp to determine its
egality, and that they bo paid $100 for
their services. The jtid-re was straight
way sat on by the rer-t of the council,
but he did not appear particularly
crushed.
J. P. Dieter here showed up to siy
that while he was a delinquent tax
payer ho had some rights notwithstand
ing the opinions of persons who had
been interviewed: he was always ready
to pay legal, but hot illegal taxes. He
did not believe the council could make
people pay taxes on water works that
did not exist. Mr. Clifford replied that
the delinquencies of tax payers had
He was against tying up the
of citizens in litigation.
Mr. Clifford could not see where
philosophy of the opposition to the
water bonds came in, as they had been
the means of saving to citizens thou
sands of dollars per annum in water
rates. The deliquent tax payers were
costing the other tax payers at least
$7,000 per year in depreciated scrip.
Judge Coldwell moved that every
deliquent tax payer who could pay
his taxes by January 31, 1897, be allow
ed ten per cent off; and those who pay
by February 28, be allowed eight p ?r
cent off. He favored giving the dis
count to the tax payer instead of a
lawyer. Mr Patterson agreed with
him that the water bonds were il
legal. Mr. Whitmore said any such
measure would encourage people not
to pay their taxes until they were of
fered a discount.
Judge tJoIdweil s amendment was
tabled and the original resolution was
then adopted by the following vote:
Ayes Clifford, Kachler, Roberts,
Stewart, Whitmore.
Nays Coldwell, Del Buono, O'Keef-fe.

a Very
Pleasant Evening.
Chopin hall was the scene last night
of interesting festivity, the occasion
beinsr the Christmas entertainment of
St. Clement's Sunday school. Santa
Claus did most of his visiting on Christ
mas eve, but, following a precedent
observed in former years, delayed his
visit to St. Clement's until the Inno
cents day. According, however, to his
own story, he has had so many other
schools to go to that he had been un
able to reach St. Clement's before. By
7:30, the hour fixed for the opening,
the capacious hall was crowded above
and below that is to say, in the body
of the hall and in the gallery. One
hundred and fifty chairs in the front
were reserved for the pupils and their
teachers, St. Clement's Sunday school
totaling almost that number. These
were divided into twelve sections,
according to tne number 01 classes, so
that confusion was reduced to a mini
mum. Indeed, the good behavior of
the children and the orderly manner
in which the whole of the proceedings
were carried through, were marked
features of the evening.
At i :30 the proceedings opened with
the triumphant carol "Jesus the Sa
vior is born" which the children sang
with much enthusiasm, their merry
voices ringing forth the joyous chorus
in nne style:
Glory, glory, be to God on high,
Jesus Is born:
Angels singing, anthems ringing,
Jesus is born.
This was followed by another carol
with a chorus, equally pleasing
"Where brightly gleamed the star of
Bethlehem." Now, filled with expec
tation, and becoming excited with
childish impatience, they all waited
the rise of the curtain. One-two-three-
four-five minutes passed and yet it
remained provokingly there. Just
about this time, a little girl in Mrs
r-aiierson a class turned round to say
something to a little bov in Miss
Josephine Crosby's class, when sudden
ly the lights went down, down, almost
out: and when she turned back lo, and
behold, the curtain was drawn! And
what was this that was revealed? a
pretty bed-room, with a pretty bed in
it, all pink and white, and a bright
rea nrepiace, without any hre in it it
wasn't cold anyway. It is nearly bed
time, and little Nannie and Agyra
Blank, who live here, have undressed
and put on their night-robes, ready to
jump into bed. But it is Christmas
eve, anu mey are going to hang up
ineir siocaings; so Mrs. Ulanlr, their
mother, has them to sit beside her
while she questions them about Christ
mas, and tells them about Jesus how
mat ne was oorn in a manger bed, in
a place called Bethlehem. Little
Nannie and Agyra, being members of
St. Clement's Sunday school, know all
about this, and are able to answer so
readily and so correctly, that their
mamma is very pleased. It pleases her
so much that when they have hung up
their stockings, and got into bed. she
will tell them, she says, a pretty story
about tne mght before Christmas."
liut before Nannie and Agyra go to
bed, they do not forget, though it is
Christmas Eve, to sav their little
prayer to God; and, kneeling down be-
de 'mother, in their white mtrht-
robes, they 6ing this little verse:
Jesus, tender Shepherd, hear me;
Bless thy little lamb tonight;
Through the darkness be thou near me:
Keep me safe till morning light.
They sang this so sweetly that all
the little tots in Miss Annie" Edwards'
class, and Miss Rosa Windsor's too,
actually think it is all real; while there
is a big fat man in the audience who
looks as though he is crying, sure.
Somebody says he had a little girl and
she died. Well, when they have buns'
up their stockings by the red fire place
and Mamma Blank (Mrs. W. H. Tuttle)
had told them all about good St. Nich
olas how he came on the night before
Christmas with hissleigh bells ringing,
and with pretty things for the children;
and, getting frightened, jumped clean
up the chimney and has kissed them
good night and left the room, such a
jingling of bells is heard, and the very
next minute in comes old Santa Claus,
with a long whip. His face is as red as
a roast, and he has a moustache big
enough for ten ordinary men; a red
coat, triinnaed with white fur; a red
stocking cap, and white lepgins. But,
lo, and behold, Nannie and Agyra are
not yet asleep. "This wont do,"
says Santa Claus. "This wont do at
all. I don't put anything in little girl's
stockings who wont go to sleep: so get
up right away now, and help me with
the business I have in hand." And
they just have to get up and go into
mamma's room and dress themselves,
for Santa Claus simply pulls them out
of bed. In the meantime, while they
are dressing, one of the walls of the
bedroom slides away up through the
ceiling and reveals one of the most
gorgeous Christmas trees ever patron
ized by the good old man. There are
great big balls of popcorn, pink and
white: sacks of candy, blue, green, red
and yellow; yellow sugar bird's nests,
with red sugar egtrs: little tin dishes,
with spoons, til'ed with red and white
jelly: candy hearts, which somebody'
big brother called 'sweet-hearts;"
silver chains; tiny colored candles;
glittering beads, and all kinds of fine
things. Then old Santa Claus comes
to the front, and says he received a
great long letter from the Rev. Mr.
Martin, telling him to hurry up and
come, as the children belonging to St.
Clement's Sunday school were getting
impat;ept; but the act was be bad bad

so many Sunday schools to get around
to, Christmas Eve and Christmas, that
really, he had not been able to come to
St. Clement s before.
However, he knew thev didn't mind.
so long as he came some time: and now
here he was with a whole lot of nice
things for the good boys atd o-irls be-
longin? to the school. By this time
little Nannie and Agyra had gotten on
their clothes again, and come back to
help Santa Claus to distribute the
fts. This takes a long time, for there
are J.i.j children to be made happy.
There are neat little packages for Mrs.
Lackland's class; thirteen pink candle
sticks, with pink candles, for the thir
teen girls in Miss Bessie Edwards
class: books for Miss Josephine Cros
by's class; and books too, for Mr,
Ddllquest's and Mrs. Cabell Martin's
classes: mysterious looking packages
for Miss r letcher s class; baus of mar
bles for Mrs. Nabb's little boys; pretty
little cups and saucers
for Miss Fanny Wood's class: packages
for Mrs. Patterson's and Miss Kosa
Windsor s classes, aDd humming tops
and mouth organs for Miss Annie Ed
wards' class.
Everybody is now as happy as can
be, but Santa Claus has not unloaded
all yet the tree looks the same as it
did before. The old man is, however,
getting weary, so he calls ou Mrs. Mc-
Cutcheon, and some of the other
grown up people, and they get scissors
and pocket knives, and cut off the pop
corn balls, and yellow sugar birds'
nests with red sugar esss, and sacks' of
candy, and sugar hearts, and so forth;
and so everybody is having a ereat
time eating. It seemed as though the
supply of good things is inexhaustible,
but such is not really the case, for
Santa Claus presently declared that
there wasn't auy more left! Every body
then raises a cheer for Santa Claus,
aud go home. Santa Claus goes home
too. liut before he leaves Chopin hall
he actually changes himself and into
whom do you thiLkV Why, H. C.
Myles! There are some little girls in
Miss Bessie Edwards' class, too, who
say they know Nannie's real name; and
Miss f anny oou says she thinks
Agyra looks exactly like a little girl iu
her class, named White. Notwith
standing these draw backs, everybody
goes home thoroughly pleased with
everybody else, and everything; but
some of the children, it is said, com
plained of not feeling well when they
went to bed.

Fa bio Romaui.
Aidon Benedict's play of "Fabio
Romani" is a strong production of more
than ordinary strength and one which
cannot be too lavishly praised. It is a
melo drama with sense and consistency
as well as undeniable power and un
flagging interests. The piav is splen
didly set. Mr. Aidon Benedict and
Miss Olive West have an opportunity
to display their fullest ability :the other
roles are adequately sustained givin
that help to make the whole one of the
most interesting plays on the road.
The promised realism comes at the end
of the drama in the earthquake scene.
The last commences in the mauselum
which occupied the entire stage. At
the climax of the subterranean promo
tion the whole tomb sinks out of
sight, and revealed dwellings falling in
ruins, the earth rocking and rent with
fiery fissures, while Mt. Vesuvius in
the background belched forth h 1 1 era
columns of firs and smoke, and noured
red streams of lava on the city of

condition, and food is once more pat
taken with yonthful relish and satisfaction.
