Thos. P. Gable.

There are no class of business men at
the present day who have so delicate and
difficult task to perform as the under
taker.
Santa Fe is fortunate in having the
thoroughly equipped embalming and
funeral parlors of Mr.. Gable. Here
every accessory for the successful con-
Quoting Of funerals is to be found,
whether it be of the most stylish or other
wise. He keeps in stock large variety
of collins of every price and quality.
The art of embalming is a particular
branch, requiring much experience, and
in this Mr.. Gable has been most success
full, his services being called for from all
over the two territories. Naturally a
business requiring gentlemanly, sym
pathetic demeanor, Mr.. Gable has
proven himself to be the right man in
the right place, and it is doubtless his
personal magnetism that makes him SO
universally popular
Mr.. Gable is native of Missouri and
came to New Mexico in 1881. He located
at Ration and engaged in the hotel bust
ness for three years.
In 1885 he was appointed superintend-
ent of the penitentiary, a position he re-
tanned for two years. In 1889 he was the
nominee of the Democratic party and
choice of the people as member Of the
legislature, and here the work he accom-
plished will be monument to him for
ever, he assisting in framing and stand
ing sponsor for the free school bill.
In 1894 President Cleveland appointed
him to the Office Of postmaster at Santa
Fe, q position he fills to the satisfaction

The First National Bank of Santa Fe.
1t was a shrewd head that devised the
species of exchange which has since de
veloped into the great banking system
of modern times, and which is one of the
marvellous evidences of the wonderful
degrees of progress attained by the peo
pie of this century
A bank is indispensable to business
man, and an examination of the banking
facilities is one of the first things de
handing the attention of capitalists or
merchants DESTROYS of locating in the
town. 1t is with pride we point to the
First National Bank of Santa Fe as all
eminently safe, furnishing, and reliable
institution and one that embarks in no
questionable ventures. The bank was
incorporated in 1870 with a capital OF
$4,000, all of which is paid up. From
the start it has paid regular dividends
and today has surplus of sd, 100. 1t
moved into it's present quarters in its
own building in 1882, the offices being
specially fitted in handsome manner
with all the latest and best furniture
safes and strong rooms. The policy and
business of the bank is directed by the
following gentlemen: r. J. Palen,
president; j. H. Vaughn, cashier, while
the directors are r. J. Palen, II. L.
Waldo, V. S. Shelby, l.. Sulzbacher and
j. q. Schuman. The personnel of the
bank is of itself sufficient guarantee
of its absolute reliability and straight
forward business methods Its presi-
dent, Mr.. II, j. Palen, is a man of I'M
blemlshed integrity, who by his own
efforts has accumulated a goodly amount
OF this worlds goods, and attained an
enviable position in financial circles.
Mr.. Palen is a son of the late Chief
Justice Palen of the territorial Supreme
Court and native of New York. He
came to New Mexico in 1878 and accept
ed the position of clerk of the supreme
court and of the LIST district, positions
which he retained for three years and
half.
In 1878 he entered the services of the
bank as assistant cashier, and here his
financial ability was soon marked, and
ne WIS promoted TO the position OF
cashier, an office he filled successfully
until 1893 when he was elected to that
of president. During his connection
with the bank he has filled the office of
alderman and also been territorial treas
urer for two terms. He is a liberal,
enterprising, public spirited gentleman
with capacity to accomplish anything his
business shrewdness leads him to un-
dertake, and enjoys the confidence Of
the people at large. The following we're
the resources of the bank on the 2Sth
of February, 1896. Total resources 5493,-

medical degree in that city in March,
1881. For three years he continued to
practice in Cincinnati, removing to New
Mexico in 1888 and establishing himself
in the practice Of his profession at Santa
Fe, where he still resides, enjoying an
excellent reputation for professional
acumen and high degree of success in
the conduct of public affairs, in which
he has taken conspicuous part. In
1889 he was elected county commits
sioner, and subsequently became chair.
man of the board Five years later his
popularity and standing were further
attested by his election as mayor of
Santa Fe, position which he filled
throughout the term with great credit.
During the worlds fair DR.. Sloan was
a member of the fair board for New
Mexico, and did most creditable work
in securing for the territory an adequate
exhibit at the great exhibition.
Professionally, DR.. Sloan is one Of the
hardest workers in medicine, irrespec-
tive of location. At the present time he
is medical adviser of the territorial pen
itentiary, the Indian school, the deaf
and dumb asylum, st. Vincent Santa
rum and Hospital and surgeon for the
Denver & Rio Grande and Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe railroads. Add to this
an extensive private practice and an
active interest in city, county and terri
torial affairs, and you have work enough
to tax the capacity of the ordinary man.
But professional duties have so increased
as to preclude the possibility Of his &C

wards and honors, although he is recog-
nized by his party leaders as a man
whose services would soon win distinc-
ton in the political arena had he the
possibility of full expression of his
abilities in that direction.

EDUCATION.

There is a danger with our present
educational system that it may become
too machine like. 1t is a danger which
has been appreciated in the United
States and has here and there been
met. But there is no doubt that at the
present time there is a feeling that the
education given in the common and
high schools is not as thorough as it
should be. Education has taken the
turn of the tide in modern ways and is
being carried along at the food The
trouble with the education of the pres
ent day is that it has not the thorough
qualities Of the past 1t is too diffuse
and too ephemeral.
In days gone by a well educated man
would have been ashamed if he could
not cap a quotation or make brilli-
ant turn by advancing another. Why
was this so? Because in those days
the teachers thoroughly drilled the
knowledge into their pupils.
That we have good and excellent ed
ucational people there is no denial.
That they are in earnest, there can be
no denial, but there can and is denial
that they are thorough in their work.
The results are the test of the work
and the results of the modern school
system are not satisfactory. A smatter-
ing OF this science and of that, without
any rue knowledge of any, is not a
satisfactory goal to have reached.
Machine education is bound to be a
failure, or TO produce such material as
made up the pusillanimous set of
men who would not fight for their
homes in Constantinople when the
Turk was laundering at the gate. They
had machine education in Bysantiam
nearly thousand years ago.
What is wanted in education is viriI-
ity and broadness of spirit. When the
mere platform OF language is laid, then
comes the true teaching. It is seldom
obtained.

to the front, and often it is not 'ong
before he rises above the standard OF
his predecessor. There is something
wonderfully cold-tlooded IN this
thought, but it is none the less true
to life. When Du Maurier died, the
loss to London Punch seemed for the
time being irreparable. No man could
replace the great artist and author.
Possibly not in one sense His exact
counterpart could not be found, yet
his death makes the way open for one
Phil May, the finest worker in black
and white in London. He is com
paratively young man, who worked his
way up the ladder of fame and fortune
by depicting the life of the gamins of
the street. There is hardly line of
similarity in the work of Du Maurier
and his successor, but it will not be
many months before the world will be
amused equally well by the new vim
of pictorial humor.

During the dedicatory exercises at
the Portuguese Church on Sunday was
witnessed an example OF the liberality
OF the Honolulu public, the men and
women who have money to give and
are quietly placing it where the great
est good will be accomplished In
drawing up the final accounts it was
found that there yet remained some
$500 TO be paid on the expenses of
construction, etc. There was no heart
rending plea for aid, no overwrought
enthusiasm displayed, but simply a
statement that the church had yet
some debts that must be liquidated
The result of the collection taken was
highly satisfactory to say the least
Those present simply subscribed the
money, thus lifting the entire debt
from the church. And we venture the
assertion that many of those who con-
tributed to this last fund were among
those whose names will be found
among the subscribers of the first
$4,000. What does this all show? In
the first place, that the church people
of Hawaii are generous; that their
purses are always open to the extern
sion of mission work. 1t shows that
the mission work in Hawaii is still
going on quite as effectively, quite as
vigorously as in the early days when
there was more of privation attending
the labors for the advancement of
Christianity. The Portuguese, as a
colony, are to be congratulated in
having secured such beautiful house
of worship, and it is to be hoped that
what was started as a mission may
soon be in position, not only to
maintain itself, but form the head
quarters for other missions to be start
ed in other portions OF the Islands.

SLIGHT POLITICAL CHANGE.


The political news brought by the
Peru. which is. by the way, the latest
that viii be received previous 10 the
result OF the election, continues TO give
encouragement TO the sound-money
forces OF the United States. The strug-
gle has now reached a point where en-
thusiasm. patriotism, blackguardism
and all the rest Of the isms that may
be sandwiched into political cam
paign are becoming concentrated, so
that the victorious shout OF the fortu-
nate or the expiring gasp OF the de-
feated ones may be healthy and good
natured. The intensity of feeling is
not half realized by perusal OF the
newspaper reports, and it is only
through the representations brought
by those who have lately travelled
across the continent that interested
one here gain an adequate idea Of how
much in earnest are the people of both
parties.
The activity Of Bryan continues, and
he is spending the last days of his cam
paign in the very heart of the doubtful
section His influence the Republican
managers are attempting to onset by
sending thousands to visit Mckinley,
and spending hundreds, if not thou
sands, of dollars in keeping such com
binations as the veteran generals"

publicans are not fearful of the result
they are certainly taking no chances.

PURER LITERATURE.

There is a curious morbid tendency
in the books OF the present day. We
have healthy literature and We have
very unhealthy literature. Sometimes
we find intellectual giants falling into
the fad of the day, dropping into the
morbid instead OF the healthy. This
was the case when Hardy wrote Jude,
the Obscure" Hardy had written many
manly books. His Far from the Mad
ding Crowd" and his Trumpet Major
were delightful idyls of country life.
These were there drawn, by a master
hand, with the completest command of
the English language, as fine charac-
tiers as should be put before people
for their betterment.
The other day came book into the
Office styled March Hares." 1t is a
clever book. 1t is a book that so ex-
cellent critic as the "Argonaut," of
San Francisco, commends. With all due
Difference to that excellent publication
it is the duty Of this journal to object.
1t is not question OF prudishness. It
is not a question Of condemning any
thing that is thoroughly wrong. But
it is a question Of lowering the moral
tone.
There are bad books any man knows
what they are. There are insidious
