The aouIds in London.
New York Letter in Boston Budget


Recent letters from Paris and London
are filled with accounts of the doings of
the Goulds, who seem not only TO have
walked, but to have plunged into English
and Continental society on very short
notice. Mrs. j. G. Aver gave a dinner for
Miss Anna Gould recently, at which sew
eral prominent members of the American
colony were present, and, under the guild
ance of Mrs. Arthur Paget, Mr. and Mrs.
George Gould have attended most of the
prominent functions of the London sea
son of late II is whispered that a royal
parsonage has gone considerably out of
his way TO be attentive to the Goulds,
and that visit to Sandringham in the
near future is one result of this attention.
All this is strange reading to New York
ers, who remember Mr.. and Mrs. George
Gould's visit TO Newport only last sum
mer and the comparative strangers that
they were, even at that period, to New
York society. Mrs. Gould has been much
admired in London, and she seems TO en-
Joy the attention bestowed upon her hus-
band and herself more than Mr.. Gould
who devotes most OF his time 10 the races
in which the Vigilant is taking part.
Mr. Howard Gould, of course, on the
Atalanta, has joined his brother and
sister-in-law in London.

TO THE AssEMBLYMsN, GREETING.

The New MEXICAN takes pleasure in
Welcoming to Santa Fe for their stay of
two months the Lawmakers chosen to
serve the people Of New Mexico. Com
ing to the capital city with the sworn
duty resting upon them of serving, to the
best of their ability, the citizens of this
territory, our legislators will find many
matters of Importance awaiting their at
tention. Laws of moment to the people
are to be passed; some laws are to be
repealed; others are to be amended so
that features which experience has proved
to be injurious can be removed; offices
are to be filled, and office-seekers are to
be evaded. All these and many things
more the busy lawmakers will have on
their hands for the next sixty days.
In the rush Of business, however, we
beg to suggest to our legislative visitors
that there is another side to life and that
is participation in the Inequalities
which it will be the privilege OF the resi-
dents of Santa Fe to offer to those dwell
ing within our borders for this season.
Let US hope that whatever other good
may come out of the session, there may
at least result the better acquaintance of
the people of the capital city and those
from the territory at large. If at the end
of the time prescribed by law our friends
from abroad have become attached to us
to the extent of remaining with US for
the future, the NEW Mexican assures them
in advance that Santa Fe will welcome
them as permanent residents with the
same pleasure with which she to-day ex-
tends them the cordial hand-shake of well
come. Not to anticipate matters, how
ever, we beg meanwhile to repeat to our
law. making guests and their friends:
'The city is yours to command; if you
don't see what you want, ask for it,"

The Republicans who have permitted
their hunger for Office to deceive them
into the belief that the people Of Santa
Fe county didn't know their own minds
when voting them down, have enc o untered

Dame and Leaden have had no difficulty
whatever in establishing the fact that

PRESS COMMENTS.
On Statehood.

On Statehood.
Gov. Thornton, who recently returned
from Washington, feels considerable
elated over the prospects for statehood,
which he considers good at present. The
governor is a hustler and If there were a
few men like him in every county in New
Mexico this territory would have been a
state long ago. He believes the senate
will pass the statehood bill when in its
turn on the calender it comes up, which
will be some time in January.-EddY
Argus.

Good Logic-But Docs 1t NvOrky
New Mexico could we'll afford to grant
immunity from taxation for five years to
every enterprise in the form Of a railroad,
irrigation system, or manufacturing es-
Establishment hereafter to be built within
her borders. Ibis would add nothing to
the burdens to the people already here,
and would bring il many people with
property that would be taxable. De-
velopment is the one thing needful, and
it will take imported capital to give it.
Bid it come, and Welcome it with open
arms.-Wh,te Oaks Eagle.

NJ. de Pardiellan tells us about les son in French given to a Spanish prince by NJ. de Falkenhayn, for mer military attache in Paris. His story contains some amusing details.
 My lord, inquired the professor, tat what period did the first crusade take place2"
 Tn 1920"
 The astounded but indulgent pro lessor: ''The date is perfectly right as far as it goes. Unfortunately it has nothing to do with the historical fact on which I had the honor of very respectfully interrogating your royal highness."
 The prince has a map of Europe ly- ing before him. With his native as- surance he points to France and says: That is Spain. Isn't it, now2"
 The stGpefied but diplomatic pro lessor: "Yes, my lord. But it IS only inhabited by French people. The Spaniards reside a little farther to the south. ."-Francisque Sarcey.

Apron In shekeIS.

Some g years ago a peasant dug up near Jericho pot full of silver shekels. They were Maccab@an shek- els, and of the scarcest kind. There were, believe, 120 of them. About five and twenty were secured by 8 friend of mine, who sent them to me with request that 1 would take them to the museum, where they would be examined, valued and kept. This 1 did. Shekels - Maccab@ar shekels-before this find were worth about 10 guineas apiece.
 When poured out the contents of my bag on the table of the numis- matic chief, then my old friend, w. s. W. Vaux, he called out to his two assistants:
 Heres a misfortune. Come here quickly. What misfortune! Shek- els! All these are shekels"
 Then they all three laid their heads upon the table and walled aloud, for the value of the shekel had gone down at that one stroke by about half, and those who had shekels in their collection could no longer brag and boast of their value.
 What became of this particular lot of shekels 1 know not, but the moral of the story is that the discovery oi buried treasure is not thing always to be prayed for, because it might in some cases prove highly destructive to property. - Walter Besant in Queen.
