ii was drilling and the banquette was

ooze from the very paving-stones. The girl
standing on the corner-her slim, white
! gowned figure softly outlined against the pink
stucco of the wall behind appeared
curiously at variance with the November
afternoon gloom. The single passenger in a
street-car crawling past, glanced out at her

looks like Bayou lily" he murmured, re-
turning to his evening paper
There is nothing earthly which can COM

Her white gown. slightly open at the throat,
as If designed for indoors, was drenched with
the wind-blown rain; though. by some
miracle, the hem remained unsmirched by
the ooze beneath her feet. She was very
young. The delicate, almost child-lille face
beneath her round hat was pale; her violet
eyes had strained, eXpectant look. She
leaned against the wall of the old building

cAIRnN,S MISSION.

Mr.. Catron's friends before the Las We
gas convention we're profuse in promises
as to the money he would send to each
county, and this had great influence on
the faithful. Now, it appears that he
does not propose to spend his own money
but is Immediately going east to see the
national committee and get them to fur
nish the funds. He tried to get Solomon
Luna to 60 with him but so far he has not
succeeded in that. good many people
think that his success with the commit
tee is doubtful, and that the Colers and
other bond-bolders who are the only peo-
pie interested in his election will have to
put up the money. At any rate that is
the object of this hurried eastern trip,
though as cloak and to gain credit with
certain element, it is given out that it is
on account of the Borregos. But every
one knows that the presentation of the
Borrego papers to a Judge is mere for
NAL affair and that Mr.. Catron would not
leave New Mexico at this critical time for
any such object. but would send one
of the "boys."

closes with the expression that only

This admirable platform of party prin-

Republican territorial convention at Las

Happily the convention was able to

in all respects worthy of the platform,
worthy of recognized and terminated

Mexico in the halls of congress. In the

AN INSPIRING AND IMPRESSIVE CONVENTION.

The recent Democratic territorial con-
vention IN this city was questlonably
the most harmonious, representative and
impressive political assemblage ever
witnessed in New Mexico. Every county
with the single exception of Valencia
was represented, nearly every delegation
was full, and besides the duly accredited
delegates the attendance was largely
swelled and the interest increased by the
presence of enthusiastic volunteers from
all parts of the territory.
The striking features of the convention,
from the informal conferences iu the
forenoon to the closing scenes in the
evening, were the manifest good feeling
unity of sentiment and harmony of pur-
pose, jealous and enthusiastic devotion
to principles, positive confidence in the
righteousness of the Democratic cause
this year and unwavering faith in the
successful outcome of tho pending cam.
paign, both national and territorial,
which prevailed among those in attend
ance. The value of such a convention,
whose helpful, vivifying, inspiring inhu-
ence will soon be felt as an active AMI
potent force for good in The re-
hottest corners of the territory, can hardly
be over-estimated. It has most de-
cided flavor and fragrance of coming tri-
umph about it. 1t is an augury of vic
tory in November that will encourage
the wavering, spur on the confident to
greater efforts and oorrespondingly de-
press and dishearten those who persist in
olinging with slavish and unreasoning
tenacity to the plutocratio cause Of the
opposition.
The declarations contained in the Demo.
cratic territorial platform are clear, cour-
sgeous and unequivooal. There is posi-.
lively no effort to disguise or mislead
under the mask Of meaningless words. 1t

he came heralded as pianist OF great

fine. in some effects he surpassed Pad

certain poetic charm. not a fervor of
passionate or violent emotion, but the
more intellectual satisfaction Of a rich

a certain artistic reserve. There was
composure, almost calm, at the piano.

sumably like poor Marie Bashkirtseff,
with a verneer of Parasian civiliza ton"
gave a piano recital al the Funke opera
house. The piano is usually so unre>
sponsive an instrument and have such
dreadful memories of unrelieyed tedium
in hearing an ambitious program "ren,
dered" by undressing players that 1
went to the theatre upon that occa>
sion with some apprehension. In this
decade of wonderful, virtuosity and ar,

am in the service of the muse, would
not walk around the block to hear an
inferior player upon the pianofore. One
can forgive a second rate vocalist or
violinist: the song of one and the soul
of the other sometimes please because
Of a certain human quality apparently
inherent in both. But the piano with
It's monotonous keyboard is an appall-
ing rattle Of dry bones under the hand
of a mediocre performer. And the
more ambitious the program attempted,
the more forlorn the fiasco. 1t is, of
