Orig. Chavez, a younger brother Of the
sheriff, has been very ill OF late, but is
now convalescent. His case is rather q
singular one. About year ago he was
employed in the New MEXICAN press
rooms, and it is supposed his present ILL.,

ed' by contact with the types so long ago
as that.

women OF the west. When her late hus-
band was forced by sickness to give up
his insurance and real estate interests at
Silver City his wife took up the manage
ment Of the business, and at his deaths he
assumed entire control and has for the
past two years enlarged the business and
conducted it upon the most successful
basis.

bition at Ireland's are shortly to be ratified,

They are eight in number, and are valued
at from SIS to 500 each. They were
painted by Mr.. Machen, Of Detroit,
whose wife and daughter are health
seekers here, guests at St. Vincent's
sanitarium. Mr.. Machen carried off first
honors at the national centennial expo
sition for this class of work. He is
counted among the best American artists,
and Miss Machen has inherited much
talent in the same direction.
Col. Alexander Majors, OF Kansas City,
pioneer who has friends in every Rocky
mountain village, is passing day or two
at the Palace. He is most entertaining
gentleman, full of rich "reminiscences of
early life in the frontier, and in Santa Fe
he has fallen among friends. His first
visit here was forty years ago, before the
plaza contained shrub or spear of grass.
For years Col. Majors held tho govern
ment contracts whereby supplies were
sent west from the Missouri over the old
Santa Fe trail, and he was the original
organizer Of the pony express that car
ried the mail from st. Joe to Sacramento.
