(New York World.) Cainlirldgo, Miins. In a two-column editorial entitled "Favoritism at Harvard." the Harvard Hultetln tries to explain the airtagnnlHin lHtwen the rich and the poor, which has been culled Into such uronilnenre recently by alleged Instances of "focloty pull" on tlio football field. Afitur citing the Flllcy Incident In the Pimnsyrvaula game, when Fllley, a rich student, a member of ono of "tho mot prominent (Ircek leM-'r soc'ntles at Harvard, but a man who hail actually never played Uugliy fcjtliall until he came out for tho cloven throe weeks bo-fore, was played In preference to linn-dull, a poor student, who had tried frr team throe years, and after mentioning the deep frnllng which this Incident aroused In Cambridge, th 3 editorial says: "Tho truth Is that the relations be-twtm the socMJty men, as tbev are called, and those who are not members' of the leading clubs at Cambridge, trti more unfriendly now than they have ln before In a lung time.

Many of the grids who live In Cambridge have tried to discover the cause of the which now exists In college, Tha most reasonable explanation Is that It its dee not to peculiar circumstances at Harvard, hut rather, to a condition that prevallx throughout the countxy.

louis E. E. SYS. CHRISTMAS CELEBRATIONS IN OTERO COUNTY SEAT. Churches Crowded With People With a Double Reverence for the Day Road-Making in New Mexico Town Growing in Importance.

Alamogordo, Dec. 23. Christmas coming on SunJay as it does makes a combination for which our people have a double reverence, and Sunday found our churches thronged with people. With the exception of the M. E.

church south, there were Christmas exercises in all the churches. At the Presbyterian church a special program of Christmas exercises was rendered, the musical part being particularly good. This church also gave a special program of services Christmas night. The people of Alamogordo are considering ilia proposition of graveling the roads and streets. The soil in this vicinity being adobe, during long dry spells it becomes very dusty, and during wet weather gets very muddy.

The nearby foothills would furnish all the gravel needed for the streets and roads. The gravel when mixed with this adobe soil makes a natural concrete which makes an everlasting roadbed. A. P. Jackson, one of Alamo-gordo's public spirited and wealthiest citizens, has done some grading on his own account, and It is from the street that he has graded that Ideas as to the cost and durability of the work are obtained.

Mr. Jackson has graded a part of the street near his college addition home, covering the street three inches deep and twelve feet wide at a cost of $450 per mile. While twelve feet does not cover the entire width of the street, yet Mr. Jackson has noted that parties traveling keep in the graveled roadbed as there no dust is raised and in wet weather there is no mud. One calculator has BgureJ out that the road tax money in this precinct Is sufficient to gravel several miles of road and streets during the year 1905 and at the same time keep up a liberal amount of street sprinkling.

Heretofore the dust has been kept down by sprinkling, but as this consumes money without giving any better streets or roads some other plan Is to be considered far the future and there is but little doubt that the graveling proposition will be adopted. F. F. Schoettling was arrested Friday on a charge of larceny. He will have a hearing Tuesday before Justice O'Reilly.

EXPRESS WAGON DRIVEM OFF IN BROAD DAYLIGHT. Had a Quantity of Goods in It Which Were Being Transferred to Juarci by Expressman Proprietor Was Eating His Lunch When Vehicle Disappeared. An unusually bold theft was com mitted in broad daylight yesterday at noon. The property stolen was a two- horse team and an express wagon, con taining about $30 worth of merchandise which was being transferred to Juarez. The owner of the team and wagon, a Mexican who has been conducting a transfer business between this city and Juaret lor a long time, yesterday at noon drove up to Zeiger's and, after securely lathing his team by means of a strong rope to a telegraph pole, went inside to get his lunch.

Returning a half hour later he was surprised to find that his team was gone. The owner was at first disposed to think that some friend had perpetrated a Joke on him, as he was satisfied that the team had never broken loose for the reason that they were too securely tied. He at once notified the police, and a search failed to reveal the missing team and wagon. The supposition Is that some one who knew what the wagon contained drove it off in order to get possession of goods that were piled up in the bed of the wagon. ELLIOTT ARRESTED.

STEWARDS UP TO DATE. English Jockey Club Officials Declared to Know the Game. New York. Dec.

There are any number of Jtmt such cases as thla In the history of a racing season here, and It was the seal of conscientious stewards responsible for Just such official Inquiries as the above that caused them to earn the enmity of men who were esger to do Just as the owner of Rising Falcon did, by his own confession. When unfit Jockeys are put upon horses, who should and do rat as favorites, the Inevitable conclusion Is that It Is done K.irnm. than leeltlmatn i.ji Sometimes It Is done to "fool the bandlrapper. and sometimes me iian succeeds.
