THE GOULD CHESTNUT.
Revival of the Old Canard that jay Has
Passed in His Checks.

New YORK, Nov. 30.-A report was
started in Wall street this afternoon that
Jay Gould, who has been ill at his resi-
dence, was dying. A subsequent rumor
had it that he was dead. The rumor
was not generally credited and had little
effect on the market.
LATER.-Inquiry at Gould's house
brought out the statement that the re-
port was untrue.
1t is reported again tonight that Gould
is very i'll.

$soo,ooo DEAL.

A. H. Patterson, of Fort Collins,
Col, had twenty minutes talk with
Hon. II. B. Catron at Cerrillos yes
terday, and $4,000 deal is the
result.
Mr.. Patterson represents a Col
orado syndicate, and he came to
Santa Fe on Saturday last to confer
with Mr.. Catron on the purchase OF
that portion of the TERRA Amarllla
grant extending across the New
Mexico line and situate in Southern
Colorado. Mr.. Catron was absent,
but wired Mr.. Patterson to join MIR.
Keren's party and meet him in Ger
rillos. Mr.. Patterson accordingly
proceeded to CerriIlos and, says he,
"in less than twenty minutes the deal
was closed"
Mr.. Patterson drove overland from
Cerrillos last evening and took the
narrow gauge train for Denver to-
day, apparently being well pleased
with his purchase. He paid $4,000
for the property, and the purchase is
made on behalf of number of cap
italists, who will develop the lum'
ber and crude petroleum interest
which abound thereon. The land
involved consists of about one-fftf
of the TERRA Amarillo grant, o.

WHAT LAS VEGAS IS Dome.

In a little talk with Mr.. Chaye.
superintendent of public instruction
in New Mexico, scribe for New
Mexican learned some readable facts
today relative to the public school
work at Las Vegas.
"The new school building at Las
Vegas, erected at cost of slo,0o0,p
said Mr.. Chaves, els already proving
insufficient. The enrolment has.
reached $50 and is constantly in
creasing. At first people seemed to
entertain some doubt as to the sue
cess Of public school in that city,
but now you can only hear express
sions of approval and there is un-
animous sentiment in favor of ex-
pending a sufficient sum of money to
satisfy all needs. A high school has
already been established and the
same will be extended next term
with more teachers. Five teachers
are now employed in charge of two
grades and their salaries range from
$50 to $50 per month and are max
ing very good showing IN their
work for the first year. A library
and museum have been started and
81, 800 have so far been expended In
furnishing and permanent improve
ments since last September.
"The fact is that all has been done
that was needed to make a complete
and comfortable public school. They
have a piano on the upper and an
organ on the lower floor to provide
music for marching. They have a
reading table with all the leading
magazines of the day and current
literature. The children of the most
respected and influential citizens are
attending the public schools. A
great deal of the success in that city
is due to the good sense of the men,
bers of the board of education in Sc
lectlng the presnt superintendent. L
suppose you would like to know
something about him. l can tell you
but little except that Prof. Doty is a
Young man of sterling qualities. lie
is but 2e years of age, a graduate OF
the university of Wisconsin, which
ranks next to Ann Arbor in size and
importance. He received the degree
of bachelor of letters and went at
once into the profession as a teacher
Although so young, he is most sue
cessful instructor and has become en-
deared to the people of Las Vegas IN
a high degree, and the board of ed
ucation of that city deserves to be
congratulated for their excellent
choice. Arbor day was celebrated
the other day in grand style by the
public schools of Las Vegas ano
hundreds of choice trees were plant
ed"
Prof. Doty deserves the compli
ment given him in the above, and i
is to hoped that he will be reelected
for next year. He and his corps o
able teachers deserve credit for thei
work during the past year.

The Democratic delegates are all
home from Albuquerque and ready

Capt. Eads used his gray hairs to
fine advantage, and captured the con-

make in behalf of Judge Emmett
was masterpiece.
The Democrats should have re-
membered that they have only one

tic) and at least given Albright an
alternateship, even if he did not
agree with the majority. They will
want some of his help before many

The Selling OF the "Aneelus. ="

The painter Verestchagin writes to the
PreSSe TO say tha5 the selling of The An
gelus' and the reseling to France were
bogus transactions, being part of a trick of
American art dealers to enhance the value
OF Mlllet's workS Verestchagin says that
Mr.. Sutton, the supposed purchaser, made a
similar offer to him, which he declined :"
When the above dispatch from Vienna was
shown TO Mr. Sutton, who brought THE
Angelus" to this country, at his home, 81
west FOrty-ninth street, he at first, says the
New York World, seemed at a loss to I'M
derstand what could have induced Mr..
Verestohagin Co make such a statement, and
was Inclined to be skeptlcal as to the &C
ouracy OF the report. II can scarcely be-
lieve," he said, that Mr.. Verestchagin
could bave made such absurd statements.
In the FIRST place, he could not by any posi-
blllty know anything about the sale of The
Angelus.' He had nothing more to do with
it than you had. But If be did say that its
sale and resale were not in every way per-
feotly Legitimate. or that We made any
proposition to him Of any kind with a view
to covering up his works. | unqualifledly
brand him as an outrageous liar As to my
purchase Of The Angelus' eud my subse-
quent sale OF it to Mr.. Cluchard Of Paris, |
viii say that the purchase money each time
passed through the banking house of
Drexel, Morgan 6 Co. l paid $50. 600
francs for it and sold it for $50, 900 francs.
and the books OF Drexel, Morgan & Co. will
prove that these amounts were paid, and
that the sales were bono fde. II you will
come Tomorrow to the American Art Asso-
eialon building l will show all the articles
OF purchase My purchase of the picture is
now matter of history. As the public will
remember, it was sold by the banks which
had advanced money to NJ Secretan, at an
authorized auction sale. If any fraud had
been committed the records would show it.
Why, two years previously had offered NJ.
Secretan 500, 900 for the picture, and when
it was sold auction M. Proust bid $50 900
francs. As he could not raise the money |
after long negotiations obtained it for that
sum, had no intention of ever selling ii.
but when Mr.. Cluchard offered such an in
crease on the purchase money | said to my
colleagues that we couldn't afford to re-
fuse the cffer and so we let it go. The only
thing l can imagine which might have
actua:ed Mr.. Verestchagin in making such
an absurd statement is tAis: A few years
ago we exhibited his collection in Chicago
with great success. Some time after that
Mr.. Ellsworth wanted to exhibit the col
lection in the exposition building, with the
understanding that The Angelus should be
added to the collection as q supplemental
attraction. This enraged Mr.. Verestchagin.
as he did not want any other painting ex-
hibited with his, and we had quite lively
row. Since that time we have never spoken.
There is another thing which has probably
soured MIR. Nerestchagin against American
artists and Americans generally When
his collection was sold here he expected it
would bring sS00.000. 1t only brought
$S2,0 900. l understand this made him almost
crazy"
