THE FESTIVAL A SUCCESS.
Disagreeable Weather Brings it's

A week or so ago when Il was deter

The result Of the evenings sales were
$G3.
Thursday evening found the ladies well
fortified with plenty more cream cake and
candies, but the rain kept away some
who would have otherwise attended and
consequently the sales were not as large
as those of Wednesday evening. The
sales amounted to $50. During the two
evenings $lOa were realized which we
consider quite a snug sum taking every
thing In consideration. OF course II the
handsome and gallant officers of the
steamer Tangicr had been on hand Thurs.
day night, the sales would have been very
near as large rs the previous evening.
The ladies feel very kindly toward the

their custom, and hope to he able TO re-

A letter to the albuquerque Dem.
ocrat from A. Nj. Anderson, Of the
Cerrillos HUSTLER, calls attention to
the fact that the newspapers Of
New Mexico should be recognized
by the incoming legislature to the
extent OF having all laws Of the SEES
sion published in each newspaper
OF the Territory, in order that the
people may know what the men do
who have been ch lsen to make laws
for them. Minnesota does this, and
as a result her citizens are more
thoroughly informed upon state
laws than are those of any other
st te in the union. Mr.. Anlersou's
idea is a good one, and should be
carried out. Instead of hiring an
army Of supernumeraries at the pub
lie expense let the legislature pub.
lish the laws in the newspapers
