Something said in this col

spired great interest. An
equal stock Of them has never
been shown in this city. There
is a mystery about Black Silk
Grape known best to Court
auld, but that his are peerless
is no mystery,
We had a conviction regard
ing Black Dress Goods for
Spring. The courage of our
convictions has brought II a
stock the match to which in
variety and quantity does not
exist in this country.
The great witness to this
assertion is the line of Grena-
dines-1remem6e, age refer 0nIy
to 6LackS today. The largest
expert skill alone could col
lect them. Shortly the prices
will vary from soc to $40 the
yard-the lowest to-day is ST.. !
They are plain, open, and
Mexican Mesh, bordered and |
striped, figured with damask
and set patterns, checks and
plaids. The fabrics are silk,
sewing silk, silk-and-wool and
wool. Some of the highest
Partisan novelties are in these
black Grenadines. 1t seems
absurd that a tutt of black
sleeps wool, or black goats
lair stuck upon a ground of
most delicate texture should
.ccurately describe a raving
lack novelty-Yery stylish.
The step between the stupidity
omely and the brightly ele-
ant is short. The art comes
! knowing how to take it.

one or more north and south railroad
lines in this territory was a great success,
in the number of delegates present, the
interest manifested and the vigorous
business-ke steps taken to carry out the
objects of that convention. The organi.
cation was continued with the same Off
GERS and delegates and will re-assemble at
Albuquerque on the goth of November
for the purpose of hearing report from
the central committee of seven, which
was delegated by the convention to ascey-
tain and report to it detailed statement
of the physical resources existing in the
parts Of the territory most in need of such
new lines of road as we'll as the financial
and other assistance, which such
communities may be willing to
offer in aid of It's construction.
The committee OF seven, which has this
matter in charge, consists of: Hon. Il.
M. Patterson CT Denver, Juan S. Hart of
Ell Paso; II. B. Ferguson, of Albuquer-
que; T. w. Heman, of White Oaks will
lam Burns Of Kingston, r. Y. Anderson,
of San Pedro and e. l.. Bartlett OF Santa
Fe. 1t organized on Saturday, by the
election OF Honorable T. M. Patterson,
permanent president, Che being also pres
ident of the convention), II. B. Ferguson
as vice president and treasurer and E. l..
Bartlett as secretary. This committee has
full power to act in appointing sub and
local committees upon statistics and sub
scription, and has already performed that
duty. The committee did most wisely in
selecting Mr.. Patterson as its head; not
only on account of his extensive ac-
quaintance and great influence, but also
on account of bis residence, by reason Of
which there can be no possible suggestion
of his favoring one locality or route Of
road over another. Mr.. Patterson assured
the convention that the capitalists and
merchants of Denver were anxious for
closer relations with New Mexico, and
would do all in their power to promote
the construction OF such roads as we might
need but the first thing to be done is to
ascertain as accurately, as possible, what
our resources are and what inducements
we can offer for the construction
of a new line or lines; and while we
know generally that there is vast
amount of coal, ores, gypsum, salt,
agricultural and horticultural products to
the south and east Of US, yet there is a
lamentable lack of definite information,
which will be supplied by the efforts of
this committee; and While We believe
that direct north and south road from
Colorado to Texas ought to be built at
once, that the same would prove paying
Investment and blessing to the terri"
tory, yet, if that is not accomplished, the
work of the convention will be more than
satisfactory, if We learn from the COM
mittee on promotion the real substan-
tial resources of the country to the
south OF us. These figures, if not utilized
at once IN the construction of the pro-
posed road, will be used hereafter, and
and it is only a question Of time when
such road is built. TIE Albuquerque
convention has resulted in long step to-
ward that most desirable end.

There may be some traffic and some

know the country intimately say not
the best, most feasible and easily con-
structed and quickest paying line is the
one from Espanela via Santa Fe, Ger
rillos, San Pedro to Albuquerque; how
ever, if any body Just "dead stuck" on
the other line down the west bank of the
river from Espanola to point opposite
Albuquerque, why, just let him build it..
When he gets through with it, the con-
tractors will have the money and he will
have the experience.
