CALLED TO OTHER DUTIES.
Sister Victoria Summoned from st.
Viucent's to IA Broader FieId-Re-
gret ever Rer Departure.

Sister Victoria, who for nine years has
had the control of'the st. Vincent institu-
tions heret the sanitarium, hospital and
orphans home, conducted by the Sisters
of Charity departs tonight for Cincin-
natl to accept higher position in the
order which she adorns with SO much
grace and ability. She has been desg-
mated to direct the affairs of st. Joseph's
orphan home at Cumminsville, suburb
of Cincinnati, which has the care of some
800 children.
When it became noised about this
morning that Sister Victoria had been
called elsewhere there WAS unusual regret
expressed by Santa Feans, and all day
long steady flow of visitors has been
kept up at the sanitarium parlors, and
many tear has been shed by the friends
of this much beloved woman. To say
that her going away is regarded locally as
public calamity scarcely expresses it,,
for during her long sojourn here her un-
selfish devotion to duty, her many acts of
DISTINGUISHED kindness and charity to all
classes of people, and high character as
woman of affairs in the business and So
ciaI life of the community, have endeared
her to the hearts of all our people. 1t is
not too much to say that every resident
of Santa Fe, aye, of all New Mexico,
throughout which she is so widely known,
will join the NEW MEXICAN in bidding
her God-speed and long and happy life
in her chosen field of philanthropy.
Sister Victoria will be succeeded here
by Sister Eulalia, who comes from Trini-
dad, and who is greatly esteemed by our
older residents who remember her effi-
cient and able management of these ipsti-
buttons for twelve years prior to 1888.

college yesterday at S p. NJ, and ban
quet given them which, according to the
general opinion of the members, is the
best treat they ever enjoyed. The ban
quet was served in the college music hall,
which was beautifully decorated for the
occasion. Thirty covers were laid. The
tables were laden with the most
toothsome victuals the market can
afford, and sparkling wines of many
kinds were quaffed. Besides the mem
bers of the cathedral and Gregorian
choirs present there we're Vicar-General
Anthony Fourchegu and Fathers Cassals

MORE KINDLY EXPRESSIONS
Praise OF the Press for the New HReN
leans Handsome immigration
Edition.

The Chieftain has been favored with a
copy of the special immigration supple
ment of the Santa Fe NEW MEXICAN. 1t
is large and impressive publication
which would do credit to one of the old
fogy eastern states, to say nothing of the
rich territory of New Mexico to which
they refuse the privilege of statehood.
The supplement contains thirty-two
large and well printed pages of five col
umns each, completely filled with descrip-
tive and pictorial matter concerning New
Mexico, its towns and it's cities, it's fine
and varied resources, its streams and or
chards and fields, its mines of gold and
silver and copper, its quarries of valua-
BILE stone, its historic scenes and vener-
able landmarks, the new blood of ener-
getic people that are adding yearly to its
population The pictures are very nu-
merous and are elegantly printed, and in
clude few picturesque views from Colo
RADIO.
This publication ought to be sent to
all parts Of the United States. 1t is diff
ficult to imagine how man of energy,
DESTROYS of lettering his condition and
who is stuck in the rut in the poverty
stricken east, can resist the impulse to
come west aud grow up with the country,
after perusing this attractive paper
Pueblo Chieftain.
The Santa Fe NEW MEXICAN has issued
it's immigration number, and it is a
beauty. Printed on book paper, and
profusely illustrated with pictures of
various parts of the territory, it contains
special write-ups of the different counties,
and is in every way credit to the pub
lishers.-Las Cruces Republican.

The Santa Fe New MEXICAN has just
Issued a finely illustrated supplement,
setting forth the advantages of different
portions of the territory. Lincoln county
comes in for nice writeup, which is de-
served and worthy of reproductions

The Santa Fe NEW MEXICAN has reason
to be proud of its immigration edition
issued last week. It will do the territory
a world of good.-E Paso Times.

Inc NEW MEXICANB special lmmlRrh-
ton supplement has reached us, and truly
work of art and value it is. Its fund of
information will prove to be an adver-
tisement of New Mexico's hampered,
though persistent, progress and lllimiuable
resources that will result in great benefit
to this territory and its rapidly increas-
ing population. 1t is replete with the
history and industries of New Mexico
falling just short of exhaustion. The
New MEXICAN is worthy of much credit
in issuing with the leading New Mexico
daily such supplemental Herald Weekly

TIE HELENA INDyCTM EN- TS

While not unexpected, the neWs from
Helena that certain of the officials of tho
defunct First National bank Of that city
have been indicted by the United States
grand jury, will cause much wonder and
comment. Since tho institution closed
its doors there has been persistert
criticism as to the manner in which If
was conducted and q demand for an
investigation. This has eliminated ID
the indictments as stated. The trial of
the gentlemen accused will, or should
develop ali the facts, aud until that oc.
ours there is no reason to express an
opinion as to their guilt Or innocerca.
IF, however, any reliance can be placed
on current rumors, it can be said that
the reopaning of the bank, its SUBJ.

An old clergyman who formerly lived
in New Hampshire town was remark
able for his eccentric modes OF speech.
His way OF asking a blessing was so
peculiar as to sometimes effect the
risibles Of his guests, although he ap-
parently was entirely unconscious Of
this fact. When he seated himself at
the breakfast table, and saw spread
upon II a meal greatly to his liking, he
said: Lord, We thank thee for this
excellent breakfast Of which We are to
partake." A more simple meal, but
one which he still regarded as compar-
atively satisfactory, would cause him to
say, Lord, We thank thee for this good
breakfast set before u.s." But when the
minister's eye roamed over the table
and saw nothing which was especially
to his taste, although the
tone in which he uttered HE
petition was not lacking IN
feryor, his sentiments we're clearly 20
be discovered. Lord" he invariably
said on these occasions, ''ill our hearts
with thankfulness, we beseech thee, for
this meal set before US; for with thee
all things are possible. e."-Youths Com
