has thrown both houses and the grounds
open today TO the little Orphans.
On the grounds are a large UNI Der OF
pear trees and IL grape arbor. They are
kept in splendid condition. aud although
the recent storm did much damage to
them, Mrs. Mckay has had men at work
there for several days and they now look
as well as ever She has mad long tables
built under the pear trees and this noon
120 little girls sat down to arepAst that
made 40 pairs of eyes sparkle with de-
light and 100 mouths water.

avenue st nine O'Clock this morning.
They were all dressed In neat calico
dresses. and presented a pretty sight az

dred and twenty were rouping aboata
laughing aud singing and Thoroughly
enjoying themselves. The little ones
that were TOO small TO run about, rolled
around In the grass IN care of the Sisters.
When the children got tired Of romptug.
they sat under the trees. on The steps or
In the house and told stories.
The children ate their Lunch beneath
the trees. and there was y great smacKtng
of lips over the good things Mrs. Mckay
had had spread before them.
Mrs. Mckay entertained the Sisters In
her home, and tweaty five of them sat
down to dinner with her at three O'Clock,
after the children had been attended TO.
A VERY PLEASANT TIME.
The children acted as though they had
never enjoyed themselves SO much
before in their lives, and perhaps many
OF them hadn't, as it is seldom tina
people do tor them as Mrs. Mckay has
don today.
II is safe to say that each little orphan

THE PALACE HOTEL.
Santa Fe's Popular Hostelrie to Re-
open Under the Management
of Col. V. S. Shelby.

The Palace hotel will be re-opened on
Wednesday next, the LIST, under the man
agement of Col. V. S. Shelby. This will
be gratifying news not only to residents
of the capital city but to citizens OF the
territory in general as we'll as the average
travelling man. Col. Shelby closed the
deal to this end with the Santa Fe Hotel
company to-day, and it goes without
saying that under his control the house
will be run in firstsclass order in all re-
spects and become more popular than
ever. Practically the same subordinate
force will be retained that has been with
the hotel for years. That popular and
courteous young gentleman, Mr.. s. B.
Shelby, will occupy the hotel desk, while
John Harper, Vaughn, the chef, and
others of the force will have their old
places.
In this connection it may be noted as
rather an interesting fact that this
hostelrie now changes hands for the first
time since its construction, over twelve
years ago, Mr.. Rumsey, who retired last
week, having been it's manager from the
beginning.
Col. Shelby will introduce several new
features which will add to the popularity
of the house; one will be the making of
reasonable rates to tourist parties who
come here to remain month or so for
the purpose of sightseeing or to enjoy
the climate. The rates for day board are
fixed at SO per week, very reasonable
considering the proposed service, and for
! transient patrons the rates are to be low
enough consistent with the first-class
service. There are 100 we'll furnished
rooms, situated on the first, second and
third floors, to select from.
As to the new manager, it may be said
that the merchants and business com
munity in general are delighted that he
has undertaken the enterprise. Col
Shelby is known fac and wide throughout
the west as hospitable gentleman, one
calculated to make friends for his house
and the city, and as business man he il
amply possessed of that energy and tact
necessary to make success of his new
venture. He enters upon his work as
sured of the hearty cooperation of every
good citizen of Santa Fe.

A BRIDEGROOM'S WOES.
Max. Knott Prepares al Elaborate
Wedding Feast, But the Young
Woman Fails to Ma, d.
terlaliZe.
A HAPPY MATCH LATER.

Probably nothing that has happened
for good while past has occasioned so
much talk about the streets as a wedding
that did not take place last night. The
parties were Max. Knott, an Industrious
young man engaged here in the butcher
business, and Mary Gallagher, for some
time past engaged rs waitress at Mrs.
Goodwin's boarding house. Her father
is a steady, Woodworking miner near
Elizabethtown, and is now working for
James Lynch. She is a girl of good rep
utation and seems to have entered on her
engagement to Mr.. Knott as lark, to
which she was egged on by the jokes of
the young men boarding at Mrs. Good
wins.
Max. Knott says: "You know 1 was
engaged to Mary and bought her ring
and lot of cloths, and fixed up my
house at Mr.. Donahue's, and buy all the
things for big supper at Mrs. Good
wins, where the wedding was to be.
spent $500 in Seligman's and Gusdorf's,
and for sewing machine and other
things to house keep with. Yesterday l
go over to see Mary at 8 o'clock, and she
tells me to come over at o'clock last
night; that the priest would be there and
we would get married. Then she puts in
letter in the postoffice, which my part
ner gets, that tells me her father objects
to her marriage. go over and talk with
her again, but she won't marry me. l
then get her arrested for taking my
things under false pretenses. 1t is just
that l have bad luck, but I make it
sometime"
AS the reporter was turning away he
said:
"Say, you 90 and talk to her and tell
her to marry mo now"
Mary Gallagher admits the allegations,
but says she won't marry him.
The case came up before Justice Gar
cha this morning on the charge stated
above. Mr.. Twitchell appeared as her
attorney, and the case was postponed
until tomorrow morning. The girl was
placed under $500 bonds for her ap-
pearance in court and she gave it.
The last thing that Max. sent to the
hous for the feast was two gallons Of
pickles, four hams, two small roasted
pigs, bushel basket of cakes, etc, an6
flowers, celery, oysters, etc. without stint
The trial promises to carry with it many
exciting and amusing features.
The bridegroom, fearing that Mr.. Good
win might do him some bodily injury
swore out a warrant against him, and hi
case was also continued until tomorrow
when he will have to show cause why III
should not be put under bonds to keel
the peace and refrain from injuring SAT-

Later: At 3 o'clock this afternoon tn
