AFTER FOURTEEN YEARS
Edward Kelley Who Killed Neal al
CerrillOS Released from the
Penitentiary.

Edward NJ. Kelley shook the convict's
garb from his franc yesterday, was hand
ed certificate of pardon and restoration
to citizenship by Supt. Bergman and
stepped out into the world free man
once more.
Some fourteen years ago Kelley, in a
miners brawl at Cerrillos, shot and killed
man named Neal. He was tried and
sentenced to be hanged. There were
many extenuatng circumstances and
these coupled with Kelley's good reputa-
tion and the zeal of his attorney, John
H. knaebel, esq, resulted in President
Arthur committing Kelley's sentence, on
the very day fixed for his execution, to
Imprisonment for life. After twelve years
service in the penitentiary Kelley having
been most faithful man, observing
strictly every prison rule, Gov. Prince
still further committed his sentence to
twenty-five years, and with all allowances
of time for good service this sentence
expired yesterday.
At the request of the penitentiary board
of commissioners and the superintendent
Gov. Thornton granted Kelley a full par.
don and restored him to full citizenship

A Sermon on the schools.

In his sermon at the cathedral yester-
day morning, Rev. Anthony Faurchegue,
the rector in charge, spoke on the sub ject
of schools. He announced to Catholics
that there would be no parochlal schools
this year, and that they should send their
children to the public schools, looking
we'll after their spiritual training in their
homes. In this connection Rev. Four
chegue took occasion to refer to the
status Of the church as regards public
schools, and in eloquent lines he declared
that the Catholics do not oppose such
schools. He said they were good, as far
as they went, but that in the minds of
Catholics they did not go far enough, and
look to the training of the heart as well
as of the head. Accordingly, he said, it was
not only the duty Of Catholics to support
the public schools but to take such
interest in their succ ess as to make them
even better and bring them up to the
high and advanced position demanded
for them by the church.

SANTA FE IS GROWING.
Some Notes on Sunday Scenes-The
Plaza and Its Gay Crowd
Open Air Reflections.

That Santa Fe is growing, and grow
ing steadily, and in the right direction,
was made noticeable to many citizens
yesterday who were "out and around and
among EN-"
At the college campus, in the afternoon,
during the base ball match, there must
have been 600 people in attendance, and
not even in the palmy days of eighty-siz,
eighty when Dixon, Tip O'Neill and
old man Dallas were here to roast the OPP
position and make all New Mexico yield
field to Santa Fe, has their been more
interest and enthusiasm displayed than
among players and spectators at yester-
days game. And it was a very ordinary
game, too, for the score stood: Juniors,
20; Athletics, -.
But the crowd and its makeup, the gay
attire of the ladies and the large number
of strange faces is what most interested
the observer sitter news.
Later, in the plaza during the concert,
the throng of people was even more at
tractive from the stand point of this arti-
Gle. The 10th infantry band played well:
the day was simply as perfect as sunshine
and pure air can make it, and it seemed
that everybody was out on dress parade,
bringing his cousins, his sisters and his
aunts."
Old timers saw the crowd; found every
settee occupied and the broad walks
iammed, and opened their eyes with the
remark that never had they seen in ordi-
nary times during concert SO large a
gathering in the plaza. A very marked
feature was the number of new faces.
They were not those of strangers, how
ever; this was plain to see, for in many
instances there we're family groups that
appeared quite as much at home as the
old resident. Then, too, there were the
tourists and health seekers; and the gaily
dressed children, the beautiful, gay-col-
ored costumes pf the ladies, and FATTY
young men doing the honors of polite
society, and, withal, a social freedom
that is most delightful to participate in
and which makes Santa Fe famous as a
resident city. That this fame is growing,
and that pure air and sunshine, good
water, churches, the plaza concerts and a
hospitable people are serving now to at
tract new residents as never before, was
plainly demonstrated yesterday.

NEW MEXICO LEADS.
Some Readable Facts Cullcd from the
l.. s. Crop Report for the
Month Of August.

The announcement that New Mexico
wheat has taken the premium over all the
world at the Worlds fair, has served to
lend additional interest to the agricutur-
ial ard horticultural resources of thi.
territory.
The U. 5. agricultural crop report
issued at Washington, August l, report.
the condition of the grape crop in New
Mexico at 10O-that is perfect. Idaho
South Dakota and Delaware are the only
states that equal this showing.
The condition of alfalfa hay in New
Mexico, on August l, is also fixed at 100
as against 80 in Colorado and SO in
Kansas. General pasture is put at 80 ia
New Mexico, 6s in Colorado and 70 in
Kansas.
Corn is put at 81 per cent of perfect
crop in New Mexico; spring wheat, oats,
barley, so; apples IS; peaches 70.
While this is gratifying showing, 80
far as it goes, it-certainly falls far short
of going far enough, particularly in the
line of fruits. For instance pears, plums
apricots and all of the smaller fruits out
Of which New Mexico orchards reap q
rich harvest, have no mention whatever in
this crop report.
