THE HISTORIC ADOBE PALACE.
Some thing of the improvements Which
Secretary Thomas is Authorized
to Make.

Secretary Thomas will open bids for
repairs on the old adobe palace at his
Office in the capitol on the Goth inst.
Plans and specifications for such repairs
may be seen at the New MEXICAN office.
About year ago, through the efforts
of DR.. Thomas, an appropriation of $4,000
was secured from the national govern
ment for improvements on this historic
structure, but the full amount asked for
was not allowed and the expenditure Of
the So 900 granted was made to answer
temporarily. During the last congress
the secretary asked for 50, 500 to complete
the repairs and this was granted to the
extent of appropriating $1,000 for the
work.
This amount is now in the secretary's
hands and as it is 81 900 below the estim-
ated cost of completing the job, the secre-
tary in letting the contract, will have an
eye solely TO making the money 90 Just
as far as he possibly can.
The additional Improvements contem-
plated include the rebuilding OF the rear
portion of the central rooms lately occu-
pied by Col. Breeder the erection OF
new chimneys wooden partitions, lath
and pIastered, instead of adobe; brick
cornice about whole structure; plastering
rear walls; remodeling and rebuilding
stable and other out houses; rebuilding
and enlarging rooms attached to the rear
of the postofice, ETC., ETC., also new floors,
partitions and other carpenter work put
ting in new windows, window blinds !;
painting, repairing tin roof, ETC., etc. In
word, the improvements now ordered
will tend to enhance the value and beauty
of the building in every respect, making
it an ornament rather than an eye-sore.
This community, as indeed must be
every visitor to this historic structure,
owes Secretary Thomas vote OF thanks
for his energetic efforts IN this matter.

The Presbytery Of Santa Fe met in
Taos, September 20, and elected the Off.
GERS of the spring meeting, Rev. ]. j..
Gilchrist, moderator, and Rev. 7. M,
Marshall, clerk. The meeting was not
opened for business until Monday, be-
cause many members could not reach
Taos in time, on account of heavy rains
and bad roads.
Janitor Donoghue has the court house
lawn looking as pretty as picture. What
| pity some such painstaking man isn't
given charge OF the plaza. BY the way,
now that the city government is in opera
ton, what's the matter with setting out
some attractive shrubbery and making
the plaza fairly presentable by taking de-
cent care of it?

ASYLUM BONDS SOLD.
Kansas City Parties Take Them at a
Splendid Figure-The Sum of
$26,375 Realized.

Agreeable to announcement Major h.
j. palen, territorial treasurer, Yesterday
opened bids for the purchase of the New
Mexico bonds issued for the purpose Of
completing the territorial insane asylum
at Las Vegas. There were $500 of
these bonds, bearing interest at the rate
Of per cent per annum, and maturing
in thirty years or sooner, at the option OF
the territory.
There were two bidders for these bonds
Cleveland, Ohio, parties offered to take
them at par, and parties in Kansas City
bid $l.05L. The latter bid was accepted,
realizing $26,375 as the result of the sale.
The bonds were boxed last night and
shipped to Kansas City by express.
The excellent financial standing of New
Mexico is seen in the result of this nego.
tiation. The party making the purchase
is known to be no Spectator in securities,
but buys them merely as private invest
ment. 1t is gilt edged one, and Treas.
urer Palen and the territorial officers are
justly elated over the success of the trans
action.

Fe Southern long since ceased to be a
competing factor for the business of this
city. What will become of that road
remains to be seen. If reasonable
price is asked for it, the Santa Fe will
doubtless also absorb it, and, it is posi-
BILE that a new division will be made from
Antonito to Santa Fe with headquarters
in this city. In this case the deal just
consummated would prove of decided
local advantage.
ANOTHER POSSIBLE BENEFIT
is in sight also because it is almost certain
that the Santa Fe will now start from this
point to seek new and direct north and
south line to connect its Colorado and
its Texas gulf network of transportation
lines. 1t has got to have such q connec-
ton and this can best be done by follow
ing out the original plan to build the Gulf,
Colorado & Santa Fe, direct from this
city to the Pecos valley and thence to
deep water connections at the gulf. The
preliminary survey for this road was made
years ago and the memoranda covering
the route is laid away in the A., T. u s.
+. offices at Topeka. Had that line been
built there would have been ne Denver d
F. Worth line to now embarrass the
Santa Fe. Another significant matter in
this connection: Two years ago the
Santa Fe backed the Cook Brothers, of
Chicago, in the survey OF line
FROM DURANGO SOUTHEAST
through the Canon Largo which was called
the New Mexico Central railroad. -Four
months ago this charter was annulled by
order of the district court here at the re-
quest of the A., T. & S. F. officials. What
was the significance of this? Simply the
Santa Fe then had the pins set to absorb
the D. 4 R. &. and had no use for the
proposed new lines they saw that by
using the D. & r. G.. road and building
south from Lamy or Cerrllos to con-
nection with the Pecos Valley line the
same field could be covered at much less
expense.
The situation in a nutshell now is that
this new deal will hasten the construction
of the Denver, Las Vegas & Ell Paso pro-
ect and this in turn will force the Santa
Fe and d. & R. G.. to combine and build
south from this city direct outlet to the
gulf, via White Oaks and Pecos valley
with probably spur to Ell Paso. This
seems to be the logic of the layout as fai
as the capital city is concerned, and il
isn't at all unpleasant to contemplate.

A New Phase in Lion Training.

Col. Boone, the champion lion tanner
and trainer, has made new departure in
the mode and manner of training and
exhibiting lions.
The old-fashioned lion-tamer in the cage
was able to keep his lions under control
because they were afraid Of him, and they
jumped over whips aud through rings
because these distractions were put in
their way, and they were compelled to go
through the performance. Col. Boone's
plan has been to get at their intelligence
and educate them. This is not an easy
task. As lion has but little BRAIN, the
colonel's idea was that if he could accom-
plish this he could perform them in the
circus ring, free from all restraint. He
has succeeded, and is the only man in
the world to-day who can perform with
lions, free and unshackled, in circus
ring, amphitheater, or anywhere else.
All who visit the Adam Forepaugh
shows, which are to exhibit at Santa Fe
on Tuesday, October 6, will have an OPP
portunity of witnessing Col. Boone's
novel and thrilling performance with five
liberated lions in the arena.

TALKING STATEHOOD.

Washington Post: Few have done
more to promote the development and
exploit the splendid natural advantages OF
New Mexico than Hon. William G. Halle
dine, of Albuquerque, the talented and
popular general attorney of the Atlantic
& Pacific Railroad company. At Willard's
yesterday that gentleman said:
"The admission of New Mexico to state
hood is not question of politics. The
territory is so evenly balanced that no
man can say whether it would be Repub-
lican or Democratic, but regardless CT par
tisan feeling the people are unit in their
demand for statehood. Their claim there
to is based on nothing but justice, and
they hope that the SD congress will
hearken to their appeal"

THE FIVE ON ToP.

A New Swindllng Device Practiced by
Confidence Operators.
Two eastern confidence operators have
been yiotimizing people in the Western adj
dition and near the entrance to Golden
Gate park, says the San Francisco Tx
aminer. They are described as young men
with pleasant facea. who dress neatly and
whose conversation Ia interesting.
In speaking of them ons Of the victims
relates how they robbed him.
II was IN q saloon, near the Haight street
emit ance to the park, last Saturday" he
said, when they came in. We got to talk
ing about baseball III had a couple OF
drinks. One of the fellows had a half dozen
four-bit pieces in his hand and he kept
shufliinR them. Then he punched them.
and putting thcm on the ounte he placed
u dice On the pile, put his hat over the
whole thing, and turning his back he told
wished and he would call the right number.
True enough, he guessed right a couple
Of times, but / remember now IT was the
partner who placed the dice.
"'1'll bet you the drinks you don't call
the number right this time, the confederate
said. trying the thing once more.
at goes the other man said. Then
swindler No.. 2 removed the dice from under
the hat altogether. leaving only the pile of
silver. We had Mr.. Goodguesser just where
we wanted him then. He bet the drinks
and | took him up on n $50 bet on the sid
that it was not a Ave spot that would show
up on the dice.
HE lifted the hat, took the top half !
dollar from the pile, and sure enough there
was the dice, tive-spot up, resting snugly in
a hollow square in the center of the pile.

and district attorney Of King county have
finished investigation into the cause of the
landslide OF the Northern Pacific at Can
ton two weeks ago, and find that there is
no necessity Of holding an inquest over the
bodies OF the men killed in tho accident.
The coroner said there IS no question as to
the cause of the death of the men, and no
charge of criminal negligence ON the part
of the company could be sustained. "Nine
or ten men are still missing, and [ believe
they have either escaped or been carried

covered and further search ~ being mads.''
