Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1891-11-07

News is extremely scarce IN some quar-
ters, evidently, else some of the alleged
newspapers OF New Mexico would not
devote quite so much time and space to
discussing the New MExICAN's use of the
English language. It's "alright," how
ever, for when it comes to news" the
New MEXICAN leads Isn't it SO, gentle
reader?
The special attention of Santa Feans
and of New Mexicans generally is called
to the advertisement of the Midland
hotel at Kansas City. The hotel is one of
the finest between the Atlantic and Paci-
fc; the table service is unsurpassed and
the appointments of the entire building
are very elegant and cosy. The Midland
deserves the patronage of the people of
the southwest.
Repairs on the governors palace are
progressing nicely; the brick cornice now
being put on will add greatly to the looks
of the building; were this brick cornice
continued along the entire rear portion of
the building, 1t would be well for the
building and for the appearance of it.
Foster, the weather prophet, predicted
storm for Colorado to-day and the
clouds that hover over the region north
of this city indicate that it got in on time.
1t is partly cloudy here to day, the fifth
day in thirty-eight on which any clouds
at all appeared. This is climatic record
that is extraordinary when one considers
that snow has already fallen this season
at Kansas City, Denver, Washington City
and throughout Virginia, OHIO and South
Dakota.

Nelson Lewis, who has SO long held
down the responsible position of local
manager of the Western Union Telegraph
company, retires from that office in about
ten days. He has been stationed here for
upwards OF four years and has made a
great many friends here who regret his
departure. He is man of fine business
capacity, of the strictest honesty and in
tegrity, and wherever he may pitch his
tent in future the good wishes of many
friends will follow.
The Albuquerque Citizen speaks in high
praise of the St. Vincent's sanitsrium of
Santa Fe. This worthy institution was
established here after careful canvass of
the entire climatic field in the west, and
its success has been marked. Scarcely a
day passes that applicants who seek the
benefits of this climate for their health
are not turned away, as the sanitarium is
now and has been for months over
crowded with guests. 1t is expected that
the capacity of the institution will be ma
terially increased next spring.
Spurious dimes and dollars are said 10
be plentiful in the Rocky mountain region
lst now. The dollar pieces are said to
bear date of 1890 and 1889. They are
new and bright but have two defects east
ly detected by persons habitually hand
ling silver CON- One is that the counter
felt is light in weight, and the other is
detected in the feeling of the surface
which seems to be greasy to the touch, as
though there was quicksilver in its com
position.
