ALBuQUERQUE, N M.. ]uly27, 1893.
 By resolution adopted by the session of the Southwest Silver Convention. held July 4th and 9th. 1893, at Silver City. New Mexico, the undersigned was designated as chairman of the cx- ecutive committee. and directed to call session of the Southwest Silver Convention at Albuquerque, New Mex ico, during the territorial fair.
 In accordance with such resolution. all the miners and all the people of the great southwest. particularlY of Colo rado. Texas, Arizona and New Mexico, are requested to assemble at Albu- auerque. New Mexico. on the 18th and 20th days of September 1893. A full attendance is very desirable. If con- gress shall then have taken action fa- yorable to silver. publication will then be in order If congress shall then still be deliberating. the voice of the people. dcmanding protection from fhe ayarice of the mOned classes should bc emphatcally heard. If sil- yer should be defeated in this congress, then the fight will only be begun and il k our duty and privilege to assem- blc and make the power and detc.min- ation of the southwest felt. If, as the Rill of Rights declares, all political power is vested in and belongs to the people, and if We are worthy citizens of country whose whole structure is built upon that sentence, as the foun- dation stone. then the people must be yigilant and active and no self-sacrl- ice should be so great as to deter them.
 Moreover. these gatherings are edu- cational We must meet and exchange ideas. and study and learn. in order to know the impregnable nature of our position to thc,end that, in the proba- bly, coming battle of the standards we may fight freely, as men fight for the right

 per annum. it would require l0'ooo'ooo gallons to supply our home market alone. or an acreage of 20O,0OO acres of fifty trees to the acre. It is a staple nroducr. The world will always use it's olives and olive oil Its uses are so manifold and So necessary that there will always be q market for It. An olive produces butter, lard. bread and meat.
 This continent has yet to he educal- ed to the use of olive products. The present demand shows what great brogress has been made in this direc- tion. To-day there are not enough oil and pickles produced to supply the home demand. There were several thousand gallons of pickled olives put up in Pomona this season; and to-day it is impossible to get any, as they have been sold: and large orders have been received which could not DC filled. 1t is the same with oil. The people of the United States are being educated to the use of olives and olive oil much more rapidly than than the supply is increasing.
 The olive is peculiarly responsive to skilled cultivation and curing Every locality can create special excellence in it's orchard and products bv scientific attention. This relieves olive products from dead compcti- ton. and makes it possible for the dll- igent grower to achieve special re- suits.
 The olive tree continues to grow till it is nearly century old, and con tinues to bear for centuries.
 The care of the fruit comes on after all other deciduous fruits are dispos- cd of. so that no better arrangement could Do found here for furnishing employment to people after the deeld- Hons fruit season.
 The olive is only grown in a small and favored portion Of the globe, and it is one of those things in which only a few can compete with us,
 The olive can be raised only in mid de and southern California and part of Arizona. out of the whole of the United States, so there will be less competition and subsequently better prices. It can be cared for much cheaper than any other orchard and win return a greater profit per acre It is fruit when made into oil that can be kept and sent to market any time if the market price is too low when first made It can be kept ten years if desired, so that the producer is not at the mercy of the middle or commission men. Ten dollars worth of oil can be sent tO market as cheap ly as one dollars worth Of any other fruit: and can prove this last state ment as follows: The freight rates on dried fruit tand olive oil from Pomona to eastern points are S2.20 per 100 pounds: the dried fruit would average 10 cents per pound, so the loO pound, would be worth SlO: it would take fif- teen gallons Of oil Co weigh 100 pounds, which. at s7.00 per gallon which is lower than the present price would be sl05.OO: SO one could send slo3.OO worth of olive oil east for the same price as 5000 worth of dried fruit
 Olive oil is being prescribed by anany of the most eminent physicians in all wasting diseases. Picked olives have one advantage over the oil: that is. they cannot be initiated or adultcr- ated. 1 do not believe that the pres ent price of olive oil of S7 to $ per

similarity in the voice, and you at once

THE AMERICAN SUNDAY.

9giThe Chicago correspondent of the
Montpelier Waterman, closes an inter
esting letter to that journal in these
words: 1.-THE fair in its naturalization
is stupendous in every department of the
worlds industry, the only cloud being
in the limited attendance. less than an
average of 100000 daily. In this latter
respect the fair has been disappoint.
ment to its projectors. But the reasons
are not far to seek-dishonest local man.
agement in Sunday opening and the f.
nancial turmoil following the result OF
the last presidential election. There
was clamor here, led on by some of the
papers, for Sunday opening, and in vio-
lation of the stipulations entered into
with congress, to which the local man.
agement yielded, the management was
led to believe that the Sunday attendance
would be at least double that of any
other day in the week, when, as the re-
suit showed, it was not one-half and was
constantly diminishing. SO the end
came, the poison having produced its
own anttdote, In one respect Sunday
opening has been beneficial, in having
settled question which could have been
settled in no other way, the verdict con-
corning which will be far reaching.
1.-THE management made mistake in
closing It's eyes upon the country and
limiting its vision to Chicago. Chicago
is naturally pulled up, but there was no

illusions. The result has proven good
local lesson. What Chicago needs is to
cultivate the friendship and recognize the
power of the moral sentiment of the
Country in matters of this sort. But it
should be remembered that Chicago's
opinion is obtained from heterOgene-
Gus mass, one third American, one-third
German and one third of other national
tiles. Consideration of this foreign ele-
ment enters into everything. Said a ma
tive of Vermont, after residence here
and hereabouts of thirty or forty years,
who was present at the dedication of the
Vermont building, in May, after listen
ing to the addresses of such men as ex-
Governor Dillingham; and Hon. j. Il.
Martin: How refreshing it is to be pre-
sent at this meeting and tn meet Yer.
monters. Not word has been said
concerning the foreign element in our
midst, and with no catering to any
other nationality. | say it is refreshing,
and l admire Vermont and her people
for their Americanism.'

NEWS AND NOTES.

Subscribers to the first FIVE volumes
OF Hemenway's Vermont Gazetteer will
be glad to learn that the sixth and last
volume of the work. comprising the
towns of Windsor county, and as we
suppose. some supplementary matter, is
in preparation. 1t is to be published by
the Munsells of Albany, N. Y. Mrs.
Page, the present owner of the work, is
receiving the very valuable aid of Will
liam P. Baxter, esq, of Chicago, well
known to BANNER readers, in the secnr-
ing of material and portraits for the vol
ume. We trust that a careful index to
the entire work will be comprised in this
volume. Such an index would add
greatly to the value of the series and
make the final volume indispensable to
all owners of previous volumes.

some to be an honorary title, as "Co.r'

THE HERMIT OF THE TIMES.

Under the name of 'Pilgrm," wri-
ter in last Saturdays Troy Times, gives a
short sketch of the author of the Her
mit's Letters" that have appeared week
ly in that paper for oyer forty years.
During the years of the Rebellion, our
people read these weekly articles and
talked about them just rs they do now in
the nineties. 1t is not common for such
to be the case and we give the sketch as
taken from the Times:
Stopping over night in one of the pref
test villages of the Mohawk valley, the
bright morning lured me from bed to
enjoy the beauties of my surroundings.
Ascending the Hill, from which to get
the most expansive view, l was suddenly
startled by peculiar voice ringing out
upon the stiffness of the early morning.

from behind dense hedge of Norway

by a brown spaniel, both racing with all
their might toward the foot of the hill.

mands such haste. Evidently here are
two characters worthy my study. l will

Before me stood square house, two
stories in height, painted white and sur
rounded by hip-roof. A broad piazza
extended across its front, shaded by lux

conceal hammock and many capacious
chairs, inviting the weary to rest A
well-kept lawn sloped gently down 70
the street, where it was bounded by the
hedge A viue of white roses arched
the opening above the steps. A sub
stantial gray-stone wall shut IN the west
side, over which the bright flowers of
the nasturtium hung in radiant beauty,
like the fairy faces of childhood nest
ling against the gray hairs of old age.
In the centre of the grounds rOckery,
surmounted by wreath of scarlet ger

while magnolia, hawthorn, cut-leaf
birch and numberless shrubs invited the
song. birds to their arms.

TALLY successful train robbery committed
by six bandits, took place at Pryor
Creek, Indian territory, at $3.50 O'Clock
tonight. When the Missouri, Kansas q
Texas southbound passenger which left
here at 4:3O this afternoon reached
Proyor Creek six masked men
emerged from the darkness and
after signalling the train proceeded to
the front end. The engineer, fireman,
conductor and brakemen were quickly
covered with revolvers and marched from
the train. While two men guarded the
trainmen the other four entered the ex-
press car. They threatened the messenger
with pistol and knife and ordered him to
open the safe, but he refused to accede to
their demand.
Failing in this they went to the back
part of the train and relieved all the pas
sengers of their money and valusbles.
Considerable CONSERVATION obtained and
several ladies tainted. After depositing
the money and valuables in sacks the
bandits backed out of the car, firing
pistols into the air and escaped in the
darkness. The amount of booty secured
is unknown, but is supposed to be con-
siderable over 81, 900.

At 1870 this morning the flames were
under control, but were still dangerous.
Roofs were ablaze for blocks around, and
