days thereafter the plaza will once more
ring with those daily afternoon concerts.
A gentleman who has been looking up
the question says "sanitorium" is correct,
not sanitarium. "Sanitorium" is from
the Italian word, to heal, and may be
used specifically or generally. The Gen.
fury Dictionary speaks of "santarium"
as enormously used for sanitorium."
Webster, however, says "sanltarium" is
from the Latin "sanitas," health,
"sanus," sound-a health station, and
speaks of "sanitatium for troops" You

ALL TRAINS DELAYED.
BlOCkades at Springer, Antonito and
Grants Likely t" be Opened To-
night.

Drifting snow has blocked all trains
leading into New Mexico during the past
twenty -four hours. Even the narrow
gauge and A. & ?. are in it this trip. AT
Antonito yesterday a high wind drove the
snow into deep drifts six miles south OF
that point and the Denver and Pueblo
south bound mail train was stalled. Snow
plows are at work and it is expected the
train for Santa Fe will get through this
afternoon.
On the A. & 2. road SINH ar state OF
affairs existed last night, the east bound
train being stuck in drift at Grants
station. This obstruction, however, was
raised about noon and at o'clock an
extra train was sent south from this point.
This will return about 4 80 bringing the
Pacific coast, Ell Paso and Albuquerque
mail.
On the A., T. & S. f. route no mail has
arrived from the east since Saturday night.
At the present time twelve passenger
trains are tied up between Las Vegas and
Ration. Two of these are stalled fast in
the snow, the engine fires extnguished,
and will have to be practically shoveed
out. West bound trains, halted at La
Junta for two days past, got through yes
terday as far as Ration. To-day STOW
pillow is working between Ration and Las
Vegas, but is having hard time bucking
the frozen drifts between Springer and
Watrous. 1t is thought, from late mes
sages, however, that the blockade will
certainly be raised by II O'Clock to-
night.

A DEMAND UPON CONGRESS.
New MexicO's Board of Education Asks
for the Public -chool Lands at
Once.

An adjourned meeting of the New Mex
leo board of education took place at the
governors rooms in the old palace at 4 80
yesterday afternoon. There were present
Governor Prince, president of the board
Hon. Amado Chaves, superintendent of
public instruction, and secretary; Hon.
E. S. Slower, Albuquerque; Prof. P. j.
Schneider, of Santa Fe, and Prof. Hiram
Hadley, of Las Cruces.
The subject of public school lands in
New Mexico and the vital necessity OF
securing the use of them at once was dis"
cussed at some length. and as a result the
president and secretary of the board were
unanimously instructed to draw memorial
and lay it before congress. This memoir
ial will recite many good reasons why the
ordinary course of procedure by congress
should be modified in the case of New
Mexico, where education of the masses ia
matter of such wide spread public con
cern, and will urge that double the usual
amount OF land accorded new states for
school purposes, four sections in every
township instead of two, be granted to
New Mexico. The memorial will also
ask that this land be given bv congress at
once for the use of the territory undtr
such regulations as congress may see fit
to adopt for the guidance of the secretary
OF the interior in the premises.

TWELVE MILLION POUNDS OF ICE.
Santa Fe Housing the Biggest Crop Ever
Cut in the Southwest.

Not the least important item among the
many that constitute the industrial re-
sources OF Santa Fe is the ice crop. This
has been growing in interest for several
years past until now the ice from this city
is recognized the southwest over as
superior to all competition. The water
being absolutely pre-, derived from
melted snow, and doubly distilled by
| percoation through the rocks of the San
ia Fe canon, affords an ice product that is
perfect. This fact, and the facilities for
conveniently handling the crop here, has
prompted the A., T. S. F. railroad com.
pany to place rather important contract
with Mr.. Rivenburg.
Beginning to-day special freight train
hauling from twelve to fourteen cars OF
ice will make regular trips for the next
ten days between the ice ponds of this
city and the company's storage houses at
Lamy, Albuquerque, San Marcial, Rim.
con, Deming and Benson, A. 4. The
railroad contract calls for 1850 tons of
first crop" ice and provisional contract
of 1000 from the second crop.
The A., L. d s. F.. company consumes
on its main line in the neighborhood of
$4,000 worth of ice yearly, and its supply
points for the various divisions are
Truckee, Cal, for the California and
western Arizona lines; Santa Fe for
central and southern New Mexico and
eastern Arizona lines; Rocky Ford,
Colo, for northeastern New Mexico,
Colorado and western Kansas; Lawrence,
kas., for eastern Kansas and the Chicago
division.
All told the ice crop OF Santa Fe this
season is expected to be about 100000
pounds.
The originals Oh the certificates of cures
effected by the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla
are kept on file at the office of the J. G.
Aver company, Lowell, Mass. Probably
no similar establishment in the world can
exhibit such a mass of valuable and con-

The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1891-05-05

A NEW German law requires that
every person in the empire over
sixteen years of age, whose income
is less than 1000 marks. shall be
insured. The cost of this insurance
is to be paid equally by the insured
and his employer. The insured,
on arriving at the age of seventy
years, is to receive a pension from
the Government insurance COM
panies. This new system, though
it may be in the end a very good
one, will strike most people as an
arbitrary law, conflicting with the
liberty which every subject Is sup
posed to exercise in such matters.
1t is doubtful whether it will work
well or continue in force any length
of time,
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1891-05-05

A DAY or two before the close oi
Congress, a bill which had been in
troduced by Senator Sherman, was
passed, which guaranteed to Ha-
waii all the benefits secured to her
by the reciprocity treaty. One of
the stlpulations is that all sugars
commonly known as Sandwich
Island sugar." shall be admitted
free of duty. Very soon after the
treaty went into force, the ques-
ton was raised whether all island
sugars, no matter how light or how
high they polarized, could pass in
free. This was decided by an order
from the Treasury Department at
Washington, admitting all un-
washed sugars not exceeding No.
20 Dutch Standard. Senator Sher-
mans bill was intended to secure
the concession of this and any
other benefits given by the treaty,
wherever a doubt might arise. In
another eolum is an article copied
from Willett q Gray's Sugar Circu-
lar, calling attention to this, and
indicating that a considerable por-
ton of our white sugars might find
a market if sent to the Atlantic
ports. Doubtless arrangements can
be made to secure this Eastern
market for portion of our crop,
at better prices than can be OBJ
tained In San Francisco.
