article published in the Daily New MEx1.
oAN of December Is in regard to "Fort
Marcy trouble" allow me to state that
do not rent furnished rooms as means
of support, and wishing myself not to be
misrepresented in the matter ask to have
my name stricken from the list. It was
through sympathy for neighbor who
knew to be dependent on the rental of
her rooms for living and is widow,
that I signed my name. Personally, it is
immaterial to me whether parties occu-
plying houses at Fort Marcy rent rooms
or not. Respectfully,

AT THE UNION LEAGUE CLUB.

While in Chicago Mr.. Berger was in
vited to dine at the Union League club
by several of it's members, where he met
many of the representative men Of the
city, bankers, merchants, lawyers and
promoters of business enterprises, whom
he addressed upon the resources of New
Mexico and its business interests, leaving
upon the minds of his hearers favorable
impressions as to the energy, pluck and
business capacities of the residents OF the
territory, and showing to these represen-
tatlve men that no field presented as safe
and profitable an investment of capital as
the fostering and development OF the
vast natural resources of New Mexico.
In the informal talk upon this occa-
sion these gentlemen informed Mr.. Ber-
ger that money was in abundance await
ing investment, but all enterprises must
be of merit and be clothed in honesty
and strict integrity; that New Mexico
in order to receive the confidence Of the
people of the east mast stand ready to
perform all her obligations, both moral
and financial.

BERGER ON BUSINESS.
a santa Fe Man Talks Of the Situa'
ton As He Found 1t at the East
New Mexico Enterprises of
Moment.

Mr.. VIM. M. Berger, who has just re-
turned from five weeks visit to the
principal cities in the east, gives the
NEW MEXICAN some items of interest
upon the situation of the country in it's
financial, political and business aspects.
AT Chicago Mr.. Berger had
CONFERENCE WITH PRESIDENT RIPLEY
and other A., T. & s. F. officials on the
subject of establishing special bureau
for New Mexico in connection with the rail-
road company, whose functions shall be
the fostering of all enterprises, industrial
agricultural, mining, manufacturing,
fruit raising, ETC., in the territory. Inc
scope and plan contemplates the listing
and collation. of all farming lands IN the
several counties of the territory, with
definite and reliable information as to
the character of the soils in the cultlva'
ton and profitable raising of all classes
of cereals, fruit, vegetables, roots, sugar
beets and other farm products.
The listing of properties is to include as
far as possible abstracts of title, lowest
prices and terms upon which purchases
may be made, ETC., in short, to bring buyer
and seller together and aid in business
negotiation upon mutual lines.
On this sub ject the interview with the
the A., Z. & s. F. officials was highly salts
factory, the officials considering the pro
iect an important one, not only to the
best interests of the territory, but to
their company, and the matter is now
under serious consideration, and it IS an
ticipated that favorable action will be
taken thereo with the beginning of the
new year.

Gail to Arms.


We, the undersigned citizens of Santa
Fe and of New Mexico, call upon all pa
triotic citizens of this city to meet at the
armory of the local cavalry troop on
Saturday next at p. m. to devise means
and ways by which this territory may
contribute to aid and help tine Cuban pa
triots in their struggle for Independence.
In our judgment, it would be to the
credit of the territory and to the city of
Santa Fe to form a company of volun-
teers to fight for Cuban independence as
soon as the United States have declared
the Cubans belligerents.

ON POLITICAL LINES.

Mr.. Berger says be found disposition
among the people generally, both Demo
cratic and Republican, to drop all politi-
cal questions and give entire support and
confidence to the incoming administra-
tion, that Major McKinley's policy may
be given full test and trial with view to
putting the country as soon as possible
into state of business prosperity. The
past several years of depressed business
stagnatlon have worn out all classes OF
business enterprises, reducing values to
mere minimum, and the cry for rest
politically is on every tongue.
CLIMATE FOR REVENUE.
Mr.. Berger met several prominent ply
sicians during his trip east who were very
much interested in New Mexico's mag
nificeut climate, of which they were
fully conversant, and, in every instance
the physicians informed him that most
of the invalids, especially consumptlves,
we're being directed to points in New
Mexico instead of California, whose
climate was found by experience to be
too severe for the average patient. Some
complaint existed as to good accommo-
dations being in supply, especially for
the poorer classes whose means were
limited, and, also, as to lack of occupa-
tlons for the new citizen as soon as he
began to improve in health.
With regard to Santa Fe, Mr.. Berger
met many invalids who regretted very
much the loss of the st. Vincent sanitarium.
He was asked when the Sisters would
have their new building erected, as many
people had gone to other points in the
territory who would have come TO Santa Fe
if a first-class sanitarium was available.

OPERA SINGERS

(From the St. Louis Republic)
The complete collapse of the Aaapleson
grand opera organization and the depth
of humiliation into which the famous I'M
presariO has been plunged as a result of
picturesque ructiOns with the capriciOus
prima donna, the tenor graziOsO. the has
so profundO. the artificially plump chorus
girl and the imperi-us orchestra fiddler
are of more than passing interest
The lesson of the incident seems to be
that the American people do not agree
with tenOrs and sopranos upon a Valua-
ton of vocal quality Time and again
effort is persisted in. That we are a mu-
sic loving people there can be no doubt.
But the fact cannot be denied that our
money cannot be magnetized out of our
pockets by the sO-caled higher class OF
music
1t can be contended with some claim to
accuracy that two or three decades ago
We manifested app eciatiOn of the pro-
auctions of the masters in the art of mu-
sic by patrOntzing their interpreters more
literally than we do now. and from that
circumstance n respectable element OF
people will argue our decline and lament
our decadence. But they do this without
a sufficient basis of fact. Investigation
sic has improved rather than retro
graded.
Eliminate the fad" part of it and those
who gave ovations to Jenny Lind and those
who chatted about Wachtel's chest G
were no more Interested in music than
the moderns who think twice before they
assist Abbey or MaplesOn to pay from
$500 to 800 a night to a singer Opera
has settled down to a more normal level.

GRAcTous PEoPLE.

IFrom the Philadelphia Americana
We all love gracious people They
are the ones who set US at our ease in
any kind of society. We lose our self
consciousness in their presence and
they bring out the best that is in US
They all have an abundance of friends
who are not passing eacquaintances,
merely, but genuine friends. Nearly
everybody has heard of the gracious
sweetness of Dolly" Madison, once the
first lady in the land" 1t is said that
an awkward country youth, whose
mother she had once known, attended
one Of her receptions. Seeing him
standing alOOf she approached, making
some pleasant remark The young
man was so startled at being addressed
by the wife of the president, that he
put the cup and saucer. which he held
in his hand, in his pocket Without
seeming to notice his embarrassment,
Mrs. Madison said: You have spilled
your coffee. Let me get you another
cup" This she did with her own
hands. thus giving the young man
chance to eXtricate the cup and recov-
er his compOsure. When she returned
she began talking with him, in a per
fectly natural way, about his mother
and he was soon chatting with her like
an old acquaintance.

MINNESOTA FORESTS.

IFrom the Minneapolis Tribune
If DR. Fernow, chief of forestry, had
his way about it, there would be set
apart in Minnesota in lands not yet
touched by the lumberman. a series Of
tracts of say 10000 acres each, which
should be surrounded by fire protec-
ton limits and be preserved. not as a
place to see how large trees could be
grown, but as a region where the trees
could be harvested every year as sue
cessfully and as sensibIy as grain is
harvested on the Minnesota prairies-
He believes that these tracts could be
made vastly productive. He would have
the merchantable timber removed as
fast as it was ready for the saws, but
he would have no tree felled which was
not large enough.
In this way q. splendid forest area
could be forever kept for the practical
demonstration of what has been over
and over again proved in foreign coun-
tries-that forests may be husbanded
and cared for and harvested and be
come a never failing source of lum Der
the pine forests Of Minnesota were put
in their place to be looked at merely
but that they are for use; that they
should be Utilized and not squandered
BY having these large tracts set apart
and kept forever free from the indis-
eliminate slaughtering of the small
pines growing up to supply the place Of
their elders, the state would be assured
of a permanent and impOr tant lumber
supply.

MANSFIELD ON sROLEs,,

IF'rom the New York World.l
with every new role an actor ere
ates it becomes more difficult to create
a p0rtraiture that shall be distinct
from the others. But it seems to me
imperative that new roles should be
assumed frequently if the actor is to
develop his fun powers He should at
least avoid the practice of playing the
same part for any length of time
He should be seen in this play today
in that tomorrow. Nothing is more IA
tai TO the art Of acting than the run
ming of plays. The actor who appears
in one character for an entire season
steriizes his brain as far as his art is
concerned. and he finds it very difficult
not only to create and to memorize
but to get away from an representation
which. SO to speak. has engrafted itself
into his second nature
For myself, the more characters
play the easier it is for me to play
them, and I cannot now continue to
play one part for even a solid week

BEAR ATE HIS SILK HAT.
An italian Visitor to Central Park
Unwittingly POked His Silk
Tile Between the Bars of
His Gao

New York. Dec. 14.-An italian gentle
man. who neglected to leave his name.
kindly fed a new silk hat to the Polar
bear in Central park yesterday afternoon.
Then the unknown wandered sadly away
with a handkerchief tied over his head.
When the strange Italian approached
the rockbound pit the bear was asleep.
After trying in several ways to arouse
him to a sense of his social duties the
man took off his silk tile and poked it be-
tween the bars.
The exhibit from the Polar regions was
not yearning particularly for plug hats,
but he took the pronered tile and chewed
it up like charlotte russo. Then he
looked at the kind Italian and licked his
chops as if to ask for more Instead OF
submitting other portions Of his ward
robe the stranger yelled for help. Police
man Bray sprinted valiantly to the ban
quet. but was unable to secure anything
but the hatband bearing the name of the
maker. Hurting in few picturesque
oaths by way of dessert the Italian de-
parted without waking up any more OF
the animals

BOGUS COATS OF ARMS.

ItrOm the New York Journal
Some local amusement has lately
been caused by ruthless and violent
exposure of the fact that an actress
has emblezoned on her note paper a
cOat-Of-arms her right to which-nOt
to be ungallant-is rather dubious. A
mysterious Englishman says she has
no shadow of claim to it The ac-
tress, properly indignant, asserts that
it belonged to her grea t-grandfather
and has been in the family for ever so
many years. The EngliShman did not
thererupOn point out, as he might have
done suppOsing her assertion ture
it establishes no right. for in heraldry
females are not entitled to bear their
fathers arms, nor arms of any sort
until they are married, when they may
assume their hus bands. He cOntented
himself with threatening legal proceed
ings; a vain threat in this free coun-
try.
There the matter rests. and will rest
with no result but the free advertising
obtained by the actress. 1t may be
thought not very desirable advertising
but only by persons who do not know
actresses. Besides, she might console
herself, if consolation were needed,
with the reflection that she is in
fashion followed by our first families:
and not solely by them. for the Satur-
day Review has just caused almost
riot in England by showing that near
ly every member of the London board
of aldermen is using either a stolen or
a bogus cOat-Of-arns.
And why shouldn't the fashion be
fOllOwed2 Heraldic devices no longer
have the slightest significance. and they
are generally pretty things to paint
upon the brOugham and embOss upon
the stationery. Women should be free
