Albuquerque, July 20. - Hon. Edwin
Baldwin Whitney, first assistant attorney
general of the United States, who is
spending few days in Santa Fe y. busi.
ness of the department of justice, is
son of Prof. William Dwight Whitney,
recently deceased, who was so long
brilliant member of the faculty of Yale
college and ranked among the greatest
OF the worlds philologists. The son bids
fair to rival his fathers fame in another
line of work, having already risen to
position of eminence in the legal world
before he has far passed the age of 35.
lie belongs to a class, Yale '78, which is
giving to the world some brilliant men
In different lines of thought. Howard
Seely, whose recent sad death at his
Brooklyn home plunged the New York
Authors club into mourning, was making
name for himself in literature and
novels and his short stories were much
sought after. Tudor jerks, one of the
editors of st. Nicholas, whose quaint and
healthful fancies have delighted many
readers both young and old, was
member of the class, as was
also Morrison Wilcox, whose dainty
verse and perfect prose have lately
frightened many pages of the great mag
azlnes. John Addison Porter, a nephew
of William Walter Phelps, occupies an
enviable place among the journalists of
the east, being the editor of the Hartford
Post and one of the most thoughtful and
painstaking writers of New England.
James Protus Pgott, poor boy of New
Haven, who paid his own way through
| college, and whose Democratic boast it
was that while he WAS descended from the
ancient kings of Ireland, this fact did not
prevent his father from doing an honest
days work with pick and shovel nor him
self from carrying the vote of New
Haven ward in his pocket, is helping in
telligently to make the laws of the coun-
try in the lower house of congress. W.
ii. Taft was solicitor general under Presi-
dent Harrison and is now United States
circuit judge living in Cincinnati.
III these men have attained high posi-
tion before reaching the age of 40, while
Others of the class are striving along lines
which may bring them equal fame.
Mr.. Whitney has not found many Yale
men in New Mexico, but was made to feel
himself boy again by seeing two class
mates in Albuquerque-W. W. Hite and
W. G. Dennison, assistant live stock agent
of the A., L. 4 S. f. railway.
NOTES BY THE WAY.
On Sunday afternoon, July Is, son
was born to Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Spitz
DR.. Pearce in attt ndance.
Rumor has it that two new papers, both
daily, will shortly be started; one Demo-
cratic with Hon. H. B. Ferguson at the
head and full United Press telegraph
report; the other Republican with its
hackers yet unknown.
Sister Fidelis, of the Order of st. Vim
cent de Paul and one of the finest edu-
Gators and thorough business women in
that noble order, will shortly open an in
dustrial school for girls in Old Albuquer-
que, where plain sewing, etc, will be done.
Sister Fidelis is one of the pioneers of
the Sisters of Charity of Colorado and
New Mexico and her efforts in this new
department will doubtless prove as sue
cessful as have all others which she has
undertaken.
Ten years ago I. H. Healy, of the A.,
L. s. F., became benedict and be-
slowed his name upon one of the prettiest
girls in the west. Fortune smiled upon
them and happier welded pair were
not found from Maine to California.
Three years ago, when Mr.. Healy was
ordered to Albuquerque and promoted to
the important position of agent for the
two roads, he and Mrs. Healy composed
the household. Not baby had ever
come to their beautiful home. In that
home was everything that the artist eyes
of woman and the generous heart of
proud husband could gather, but there
were no baby hands, no baby lips, no
baby laughter. But all that is of the
past and a ten-pound boy has come, and
now every fellow in the freight Office
wants to be his godfather. Mr.. and Mrs.
Healy are so well liked by so many peo-
pie that if they call him "Tom jr." every
body will be pleased.
