A CHANCE FOR ALL.

Nothing marks our progress as a
people so well as our educational facil-
tiles. From the early settlement of
this country the cause of education
has made steady advance. Colleges
and universities spread with the set
Element of the country, and dot the
length and breadth of the republic,
while our common school system is
the wonder Of the world.
But great as our educational facili-
ties are, they have only been within
the reach Of the masses during COM
paratiyely recent years. We often
hear the gray haired father and moJh-
er tell OF the disadvantages they la
bored under to obtain an education,
even in the more advanced portions of
the country, because they were unable
to pay for advantages which at that
time could only be enjoyed by the
Wealthier classes. To-day the poorest
child can share, so far as the common
school is concerned, the advantages
of the more favored, and if he is en-
dowed with strong will power, cap
able of overcoming such obstacles as
may lie in his road, can work his way
through college.
r But with all the advantages at
hand, there are many who are not able
to take full advantage of even our
public school system. AS they adj
vance in life they recognize more and
more the disadvantage under which
they labor, But those interested in
the intellectual welfare of the nation
have not forgotten this class, and to-
day he who can say there is no chance
for him to improve his mental condi-
tion, must indeed have little desire to

A PROSPEROUS WEEK.

notwithstanding the fact that last
week was broken into by holiday,
the general business of the country
did not suffer. Some points in the
east reported trade dull, others re-
ported it fair, while nearly all west
ern points reported an increase.
Money is easy and collections are
reported fair. Speculation in most
lines has been restricted so that legiti
mate business has not been in any
way embarrassed.
In all the great industries the out
look has improved. There is a larger
demand for iron, and r.. G. Dun & Co.
report that there are evidences of
an enormous consumption nearly
equal to the production. The cold
weather has strengthened the trade
in wooden goods.
The receipts of wheat continue
large, being more than 100000
bushels for the full week. The Cars
ukase prohibiting the export of wheat
from Russia did not advance the price
as some expected. This is probably
owing to the large receipts in this
country, which more than supplied
the existing demand.
The exports of various products at
New York for the last four weeks
have exceeded last years by oyer ST.
100000, while at the same time there
has been decrease of 10 per cent, in
imports. This leaves large balance
in favor of this country, and there
has been some anxiety expressed as to
how Europe would meet this strain
upon her finances, but no trouble has
as yet been reported. Commenting
upon this, r. G. Dun & Co. call at
tention to the fact ''that this country
is at present unusually independent
of foreign disasters or disturbances. !"

take advantage of the opportunities
at hand.
With the Chautauqua movement;
the University extension movement,
reading circles, etc.; with the best of
literature at hand, at prices within
the reach of all, surely there is no fea-
son why anyone who has the least de-
sire should not keep in close contact
with the intellectual movement of
the world.
The work of the Chautaugua Circle
and the University extension move
ment is laying a great foundation for
the future of this country. 1t isdoing
more than merely improving the
minds of those who take part in it. 1T
is lifting up before them higher ideals
of life, and they will strive all the
more earnestly to give their children
every advantage possible in the educa-
tional line.
BY these outside helps we are lifted
out of the narrow road of every day
life into the broad field of the world,
and the thoughts of the master minds
of literature become the common
property of the people.

SATURDAY SMALL TALK.

A romantic story is aAoat concerning
Col. Geo. A. Forsyth, for years stationed
in the southwest and well known to MANY
Santa Feans. He was formerly on Gen.
Sheridan's staff. AS the story goes Col.
Forsyth has just succeeded in winning
the hand of the daughter of his old friend,
DR.. Dallas Bache, a Philadelphian, also
in the military service, and Miss Forsyth
the colonel's daughter, has become en-
gagged to DR.. Bache. Each of the men is
go years of age and each has been a wild
over about the same length of time.
Neither of the young women is much over
20 years of age. 1t was at one of the
military forts near Omaha where these
gallant heroes fell victims and surrend-
cred. Each was accompanied by his
family, and here it was that each woed
the others daughter. None of the ar
rangements for the weddings have been
announced yet, but the smallest details
will be watched for eagerly in this city.

home at the east. Last night he and his
excellent family were given farewell
at the home of Hon. B. M.
Thomas, and the event proved one of the
most delightful social gatherings OF the
year. About 100 people were present,
and music, social intercourse and ad-
dresses occupied the time most agreeably.
Mrs. Geo. W. Knaebel presided at the
piano. During the evening addresses
were made by Judge Seeds, Governor
Prince and Mr.. ]. H. Crist, the latter
presenting Mr.. Alcott with handsome
cane on behalf of his Santa Fe admirers.
Mr.. Alcott made a feeling response, and
the evening closed by singing "Auld
