Institution of Putnam Council, K. c

Scarcely any organization of the kind has had more rapid growth than the Knights of Columbus, distinctively Catholic order. It's object Is mutual and benevolent aid and insurance. A move ment for the establishment of lodge in Newtown, several years ago, was not successful and n number of Newtown men joined Housatonic lodge of New Mill ford.
 A few months ago, however, the pro- ject was again set on foot and met hearty encouragement. Twenty members are nee essary to obtain charter and more than a score were quickly secured. Vexatious delays occurred at various times, but all preliminaries were at last arranged and 1t was decided to call the new lodge Put nam Council, No. 54. Officers were chos- en at meeting of the charter members, to be installed with appropriate ceremo- nies.
 Sunday, 21st, was selected as the date for the institution of the new lodge and the installation of the officers. The work, which was under the auspices of Park City council, No. 10, of Bridgeport, was performed in the Town Hall by District Deputy James II. McElroy of Bridgeport, assisted by Supreme Knight John J. Phe- Ian, Dr John c. Lynch and Dr Andrew Gilroy, all of Bridgeport. Over 50 dele gates were present from Park City coun- cil of Bridgeport, Red Cross council of Danbury, Housatonic council of New Milford and councils at Bridgewater and New Haven; the latter included James Brennan. After the work of institution, d sumptuous dinner was provided at the Grand Central.
 Twenty-one were initiated as charter members, including Michael Donahue Patrick Ready, Patrick Brennan simon Corey, Thomas Reilly, John Bailey, Michael Tierney, Martin Keniry John Houlihan, John Murray, Andrew McGaulcy, Michael Brennan, James Lar ncr, Patrick Mccarthy, James Egan James Green, James McNamara, W. E Hennessy, Patrick Heating, John Keane, Carl Kelly, Peter McManaman.

 No arrangement has yet been made ir regard to n lodge room or hall, but a room will doubtless be secured in the Street. Regular meetings will be held monthly, but the date has not yet been settled. Putnam council begins it's off cial life with bright prospects, which, under the wise management of it's off cers, ought to bring increasing prosperity

A Rare Treat,

The dioramic lecture at the court house
last night on the "Paris Exposition Of
1885," was profusely illustrately by views
of the grounds and buildings as whole,
and Of the separate buildings and most
attractive landscapes included within the
nine miles of fencing which surrounds the
premises. The interiors of many of the
departments were very effectively exhibit
ed, but the operator, owing to some difficult
ties which will be overcome before tonight,
was unable to make his light what it ought
to have been, and hence some of the pic
lures were not brought out as clearly as
they otherwise would have been.
"The number of spectators was perhaps
greater than could have been expected on
night so unfavorable, butt tile people Of
Santa Fe fully comprehended the unsur-
passed excellence OF these pictures and Of
the well arranged, instructive and pleasing
lectures of Prof. James, the court hall
would be crowded.
1t is not often that place no larger
than Santa Fe has the opportunity to see
an exhibition of such hiah character
Only because Prof. James is engaged in
collecting materials in this region for
lectures to be delivered in Europe has
this rare good fortune come to us.
Tonight, the lecture and views will IL
lustrate Picturesque Palestine" Doors
open at as. Lecture to begin about s.
Tickets for adults, 80 cents children adj
mitted for % cents.

The Blizzard Belt.

Trains from the east are again late to-
day on account OF the severe weathel in
the Trinidad blizzard region The early
morning mail was thirteen hours late,
and came in with the through mail, due
at noon, about 2 o'clock this afternoon.
There was another heavy snow
in Kansas and Colorado dur
ing the past iorty-eight hours,
and the situation on the Fort Worth 4
Denver line south Of Trinidad is no better
than it has been for ten days past. In
fact, if anything, it is worse, and people
along that road are suffering for food. One
train got south as far as the Texas line, but
was showed in there night before
last. There is great suffering for fuel and
for forage for the stock at Clayton and
other points. No estimate of the damage
done by the present unprecedented storm
in that region can yet be had for at least
q week.

MENNONITES LOCATE FARMS.
A Thrifty People Settling Colony in
Southern Santa Re County.

The representative Mennontes from
central Kansas who have been coming
and going for the past four months, under
the guidance of Col, IIaren, of the A, 7.
& s. f. immigration department, have
finally arranged all their plans for locating
colony of farmers in Santa Fe county
d. M. Klaassen, Of IIiIlsboro, Kas., is
in the city to-day on business with the
local land office, and from him the New
MEXICAN learns some facts concerning the
coming of this colony. His people sent
prospecting parties to Montana, Nebraska,
Colorado and New Mexico. Three
different parties visited Santa Fe
county at various times during
the past summer and when all
had returned home to Kansas there
was "a meeting" of the 'Mennoniters Of
tIillsboro and vicinity, and carefully
prepared reports were presented Ivy all
the various prospecting parties. After
much consideration it was decided that
all things considered, especially the eli
mate, productiyeness of tho soil and
market facilities, New Mexico presented
by far the best field for them, and after
several meetings at which Col. Haren
was present Il paper was drawn up and
signed by the heads OF forty
three families agreeing to settle in
this territory. The site for their colony
was located with the same deliberation
after over twenty points in New Mexico
had been examined, and it was finally
agreed to begin business in that inviting
section OF county lying seven miles east
of Lamy junction and some five miles
south of Glorieta. Here the country is
heavily timbered in places and again is
partially open, the latter lying in tracts
ment land; Canoncito is the nearest rail-
road station, being only two miles dis
tant, and even during the past season,
the dryest in twenty years, the rain
fall then was sufficient to produce
good crops without irrigation. There
are several springs along the base of the
adjacent mountains, and well water can
at present be had by digging sixty to
ninety feet. After "the roof" is taken
of the land, and the rain and snow has
chance to soak into the soil rather than
run off as now, it is believed twenty to
thirty feet will yield all the water needed
for stock and domestic purposes. This
has been the experience Of the Memo
mites in Kansas and Nebraska. Mr..
Klaassen, A. B, Krocker, VIM. Scherling
and several other representative men of
this colony are now located on the ground,
building houses and fences, sink
ing wells and getting ready
their new homes. Other members of the
colony are arriving from time to time and
about the middle of March the entire
party of forty-three families, numbering
some 200 people, will be on the ground
and in trim for a season of earnest work.
This is the pioneer Mennonite colony
to settle in New Mexico. If these people
thrive here others will follow and no peo-
pie can come nearer making the desert
blossom than these. This is the begin
ming of home production to supply New
Mexico's home demand for agricultural
products.

Valley Weather,

The valley of the Rio Grande at Es-
pamela and Santa Cruz, in northern Santa
Fe county, is, climatically, very similar to
the Santa Fe valley, and is equally as
we'll protected from The north and west
blasts that chop into the weather rec
ord of most western communities. Es-
pamela advices says: This valley has
been peculiarly fortunate during the late
billiards.. Twenty-Five above zero was
the coolest, and the snow did not fall to
the depth of an inch at any time, and
melted nearly as fast as it fell. The air
is spring like. Only four or five inches of
snow at Alamosa."
