The Kansas Mennonites who were
taken to Tesuque valley yesterday by Mr..
Weltlner were much pleased with what
they saw there, particularly with Mr..
Mlller's superb orchard. Mr.. Weltmer
has made one of the kansans very lib
eral offer to take charge of his fruit farm
out there, and the probability is that it
VIII he accepted.
The governor is slowly gaining strength,
but is still very weak, and may not be out

from ye.
Remember the flowers for Memorial

them fresh and early in the morning and

over lreland's drug store, as soon after

Of water and no complaint of scarcity is
heard 1t is fact not generally known
that there is yet considerable quantity
Of snow in the mountains. Above Web
er's tie camp at the head of the canon
The ravines are packed with snow. This
IS certainly most fortunate circumstance,
out it ought not to persuade any careless
individual that lie would be justified In
wasting one drop of water shat rolls so
gracefully through the irrigating bitches.
A queer looking old English lady who
boasts Of being cockney and who has
travelled for twenty years, is domiciled at
Mrs. Sena's on Water street, looking up
data for volume on "the Highways and
Byways of the Western World" She is
a most entertaining talker, although
little deaf, and boasts of diary that will
some day excite no little comment. She
says she will probably leave her literary
works for the benefit of "the horses of
New York." which animals have been
given a permanent place in history
through the efforts of the late Henry
Bergh.
The citizens OF Santa Fe should look
well after the plaza concerts. These
ought not to cease because of the falling
off of subscriptions. There are many
who do not now pay a cent toward this
fund when formerly they contributed
thei, full share. Why can not they do SO
now and have the concerts continued
daily. There are also not a few sub
scribers who can very consistently III
crease their subscriptions, while on the
other hand there are very many business
firms who really Can not and ought not to
be expected to increase their subscriptions.
For instance, think of one law firm pay
ing IS per month for these concerts, hay
Ing just Increased their subscription u.
