SATURDAY SMALL TALK.

Hon. Louis Sulzbaeher and family have
left New Mexico and settled in Kansas
City, Mo. The New MEXICAN regrets
this step taken by Mr.. SulzbaCher great
", as this territory can not well afford to
lose 50 good and public spirited citizen
as Ne. Sulzbachcr. 1t seems odd that
ne should leave this territory and make
his home elsewhere. He came here
thirty years ago poor boy, after tramp
on foot across the plains after an OK
rain that had started from Westport, Mo.
He arrived in New Mexico penniless,
but possessed an excellent education,
willingness to work, an honest character
and the ambition to succeed. The cir
cumstances and chances were against
him. However, he overcame them all,
and in fifteen years became highly
respected and influential citizen, an able
and successful attorney at law, trusted
counselor and q wealthy man. As the
years rolled on his influence, standing
and wealth naturally increased, and he
was at the time he left one OF the leading
citizens OF New Mexico, and in the lead
of his profession, the law. His wealth
is Variously estimated, at high figures,
but he is certainly worth quarter of a
million of dollars. A year and half
ago, upon the Inauguration OF President
Harrison, his friends at the bar, in
politics and in business life, unbeknown
to him, recommended him for the posi-
ton of chief Justice of New Mexico, and
had the appointment been given to a
resident of New Mexico he would certain
ly have been appointed. 1t is sufficient
to say that among his recommendation
unsought and unasked for by him were
those of majority of the members OF the
bar of the LIST and 4th districts, OF the
three exchief justices of the supreme
court of New Mexico, of three eXdele- |
gates to congress and of many of the |
leading politicians, business men and
officials of the territory. Mr.. Sulzbacher |
and family carry with them to their new
home the respect, friendship and best
wishes of their many friends, and in fact
of all those who knew them either So
cially or in business. The New MEXICAN
words about Mr.. Sulzbacher. He is in
all respects seIf-made man and of the
right kind. Adios, good friend, worthy |
man and valuable citizen. May the fates
be as kind to you in the future as they |
have in the past. Pluck, VIM, enter
prise, hard work and fair dealing are
bound to succeed, and you are an example
thereof. wv
All those public spirited ladies' who
have care to the improvement and
beautifying OF the plaza are requested to
meet at the residence Of Mrs. L. Brad,
ford Prince on Tuesday afternoon at 3
o'clock. At that time report Of the
work thus far accomplished will be made
and some plan for making further i'm
will be discussed. 1t is pro-
posed to hold kirmes some time in the
early part of June but, as this is a good
thing Of which it will be difficult to get too
much, the New MEXICAN would suggest
hat delightful little concert supper and
hop he given by the ladies at a very early
lay, the kirmes to come on later.
AS to the iron settees hich have been
ordered, it may be said that they will be
lere in q very few days. They have been
shipped by the Mississippi Iron works,
If st. Louis. There are forty seats, all
painted green, eight feet in length and
he price is most reasonable. The A., T.
S. F. company has generously agreed
o transport them at half the regular rate.
They come consigned to Hon. Sol. .
