NOT A SUCCESS.
What FIorrie West Thinks OF Cham
pion Corbett's Trip to England.

NEW YORK, Aug. s.--Florris West, The
soubrette of the Corbett Gentleman
Jim" company, returned to New York
yesterday In tho cabin Of the Elbe, from
Southampton. She said she paid her swn
passage because shs would not travel In
the second cabin Of the Ethiopia, which
she declared is a cattle ship. The other
members of tho company returned In the
Ethiopia, and their names ara on the SEQ
ond cabin list.
"The sending Of the members Of the
company back on . second-rste steamship
from an obscure port n get the advantage
OF cheaper rates is the best evidence that
the Corbett company did not do big busi-
ness" Is what Miss West said. Cor
bott" continued the pretty soubrcttc,
"made q mistake ~ to tho English public.
He thought the people there would dance
Attendance on him az they do NJ home,
but he was mistaken"
Another commens made by Mis- West
concerning Champion Corbett was: "Tbs
English public were disgusted with the
idea OF a pugilist appearing ~ high-class
theatres. They did not, therefore, patron
ize Gentleman Jim literally.
''The sporting fraternity also did not
take to Corbets kindly, because hs con-
sidered himself too much of . gentleman
to associate with them. They invited him
to ono of their clubs They thought he
was no better man than Charley Mitchell,
and when he snubbed them by refusing
their invitation they quickly sent him TO

they boycott man"

Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1894-08-02

Santa Fe, the city of the Holy Faith of
st. Francis, is situated on the site of an
ancient Indian Pueblo called O-ga -p-ho-ge.
1t is probably the oldest civilized CON-
lnunity in the United States and the most
ancient of American capitals. The Spanish
town was founded in 1905. Authorities
disagree as to whether this city or San Au-
gustin, Fla, were first found ed. Santa
Fe was first visited by American traders
in 1904, and from that time dated a
wonderful era of prosperity. The thrill
ing incidents of the old Santa Fe trail,
starting from Westport, Mo-, gave it a
world wide fame.
THE WORLDS ONLY sANITAR1UM.
Prof. Mark Harrington, chief of the U.
8. weather bureau, says: Santa Fe is in
the driest habitable part of the United
States. This region is extensive, and
changes in form from season to season,
but Santa Fe is always in it,"
1t is situated in charming nook of the
Santa Fe range, and it's climate is domi-
mated by the influence of mountain peaks
that tower nearly $4,000 feet high. To,
gether with this it lies at an altitude OF
7,015 feet, and latitude, about the seth
degree north, that gives it peculiar ad
vantage as a sanitarium. The elevation
eempers the summer heats, which natural
y should be about that of Memphis
Tenn, or Bakersfield, Cal, and its south
sSn situation reduces the rigors of winter
As an illustration, during the winter Of
1892, the daily public concerts in the
plaza were only stopped three times BY
weather, and last winter the omissions die
not exceed half dozen.
The altitude compels the lungs TO work
and no one in Santa Fe can be accused o
being "too lazy to BREATHE" as grea
I physician expressed IL. The rare, ozon
ated air permeates every cell of the lungs
and thus prevents hemorrhage. Drs
Bymington and Harroun, who have prac
ticed in Santa Fe for over twenty years
report that they have only found two
,ases among the native people Of con
sumption.
NORMAL TEMPERATURE.
The U. 8. weather observation Office
has been stationed here for twenty years
and the following statistical data tell
better than words how even and mild i,
the climate of Santa Fe. Taking The
summer heat and the winter cold the fol
lowing tables show most equable anl
delightful temperature:

TENDER S-15, 1904.
Already the old veterans, their families
and friends, are figuring as to probable
cost of trip, and deciding which route to
take.
To enable them to make the journey
at reasonable cost, and plan in advance
for this, their great jubilee time, the
Santa Fe route has just notified the chair
man of the Western Passenger associa-
ton that it will sell tickets for the occa-
sion named on September z and 8, from
points west of Missouri river, and on
Sc ptember and 8 from points on and
east of the Missouri river. These dates
are placed early in the month 80 that
visitors may witness the great naval re-
union, which forms an important feature
of the opening days of tho encampmcnt.
Besides convenient selling days, the
Santa Fe also announces that it will
honor G. A. r. tickets for return from its
eastern terminals on any day within the
final limit of Sept. 25 for tickets sold in
territory east of Colorado common
points, and Sept. 30 for tickets sold from
territory west thereof. This concession
will accommodate members Of the G. A.
r., and that is what the Santa Fe always
aims to do. 1t tries to please it's patrons.
The rate is one fare for the round trip,
added to the lowest rates authorized
from Chicago and st. Louis, which
makes a rate of $51.O5 via Chicago aud
1856 via st. Louis to Pittsburg and re-
turn. Call on agent of A., I. & 3. F. rail
road for particulars.
Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1894-08-02

There is no other locality, even the
boosted climate of southern France, that
can show such stable and equable
range of heat and cold. The health seek
or need fear no sudden changes. A little
attention to clothing and he can bid colds
and inhammations defiance. In cases of
death from tubercular disease the New
Mexico rate is only 3 in 1000.
This is the lowest known record, and it
must be remembered that the local con-
tingent of consumptives is daily aug
mented by the immigration of those who
seek respite from that dreaded scourge.
The record of deaths at Santa Fe is
much lower than the territorial average.
In New England the consumptive death
rate is Is out of every 1000 of the COM
munity; in Minnesota it is II, and
throughout the southern states six per
1000. This city enjoys the spring eli
mate of northern Illinois and Indiana;
the summer climate of Wisconsin, Michi-
gan and Minnesota, and the winter
temperature of southern Illinois, Indiana
and Tennessee. This, however, is only as
shown by the thermometer. The dry
tonic air of the mountain altitude fills one
with vivacity and health, and 80 strong is
the influence of the ozone and electricity
on tho nerves and system that acclimation
is wonderfully rapid. This of itself is a
great boon. Cases are on record of in
crease in the chest measure of immi-
grants here of from four to seven inches.
NATURAL ATTRACTIoNs.
Besides this Santa Fe lies in most
picturesque valley. 1t is at the entrance
of splendid canon, Astounding in natural
curiosities. 1t is also the gateway of the
Pecos National park, where fish aud game
abound. Within easy riding or driving
distances there are over forty places of pic
turesque and OF historic interest. Among
which may be mentioned the old adobe pal
ace, first erected shortly after 1905, from
which the Spanish viceroys ruled this
great province. The present structure
dates from about 17l6; but it is full of
interest, as every room is consecrated by
the memory Of thrilling events. In this
building Gen. Lew Wallace wrote his
famous Ben Hur.
The chapel Of San Miguel, was built in
1880 and still stands. By its side is tia
ol;le~t house IN the United States. The
wallis of the old cathedral date from 1929,
but the rest of the structure IL of more
modern date. Within convenient dis
tances are the Indian pueblos Of Tesuqus
and Nambe; in side canon of The Santa
Fe are the delightful Aztec springs, while
about nine miles up the main water
COURSE is Monument rock. The road
thither is one of surprising loveliness.
To the south of town is Aqua Fria, ard
the famous turquoise mines pronounced
by Tiffany the finest in the world; and
beyond the Rio Grande are the San Ilde-
fonso Pueblo and the curious cliff dwell
ings.
Other points of interest to the tourists
are: The Historical society's rooms; the
"Ga rita," the military. quarters. chapel

On the Safe Side.

Everybody knows this is a good place
to be, but everybody does not take
measure to be there. An efficient pre-
ventive places us on the safe side of in
cipient disease, and there is no one more
reliable than Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
in cases where the kidneys are inactive,
which is but the preliminary to various
destructive maladies, which disregarded
have fatal Examinations. Bright's disease
diabetes, dropsy, edema, are but the out
growths of neglected inaction of the
kidneys and bladder. They should be
checked at the outset with the Bitters
which will prevent their progress by
arousing the renal organs to activity
and thus place those who resort to this
saving medicine on the safe side. This
preservative of safety also conquers con
stipation, liver complaint, malarial fever
nervousness and dyspepsia.

Faith.

Doubt no longer that the Highest is the wisest
and the best.
Let not all that saddens nature blight thy hope
or break thy rest.
Quail not at the fiery mountain, at the ship
wreck, or the rolling
Thunder, or the rcnding earthquake, or the
famine, or the pest!
Neither mourn If human creeds be lower than
the hearts desire!
Through the gates that bar the distance comes
CLEAN of what is higher.
Wait till death has flung them open. when the
man will meet the Maker.
D0sk no more with human hatred or the glare
Of deathless fire!
