There are number of fine orchard
ranches along the Rio Grande, which are

which are set in Sall kinds of fruit, we'll
cared for, abundantly watered, this place
is more than show place, it is a pro
ducer of dollars. just over the fence is
Mr.. R. E. Twitchell's property, which is
also set out In fruit trees, given the best
of care, and is place not only pleasant

also the proprietor Of a Touring mill
which converts San Juan valley wheat
into good flour. At San Juan is Honor
able Samuel Eldodt's beautiful home and
garden so we'll known by many Santa Fe
people, and its hospitality and grateful
shade are always pleasant memories to
those who attend the San Juan feasts in
June of each year. II the truth was
known, many Santa Fe folks attend that
feast more to get into that garden than
for anything else.
The topography of New Mexico is won
derfully varied. Mountains, plains, forests,
streams and valleys--some sections can
not be be named--are found within the
limits of each days travel, no matter in
which direction you may 60. The noun

stones, the streams abound in fish, the
plains are covered with herds, the valleys

Dear sir: | beg to acknowledge the

Please return our thanks to all of the

self. Yours truly,

The Photograph Beat Her.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.


Through a picture taken in a Coney
Island photograph gallery the Brooklyn
Heights Railroad Company won a damage
suit as defendcnt this morning before JUS
tice Van Wyck ard a jury. The plaintiff
was carrie Martin, nineteen years old. who
sued. through Charles Martin, to recover
5000. Daley, Bell & Crane appeared for
Collins, represented the defendant COM
pany. TIE plaintiff alleged that on June
;. 1895, she was a passenger on a Myrtle
avenue car, and at $50 o'clock in the even
ing she got eff at Harmon street. She
passed around the rear of the car, and it
backed up and hit her she said. causing in
ternal injuries. She had fainting spells for
some time afterward. Mr.. Hughes, for the
investigate the case, and Williams found
that the plaintiff enjoying bathing
at Coney Island. He proceeded to enjoy
bathing himself, and made the acquaint-
snce of Miss Martin in the curf. 1t came
out in the trial that Williams got the
plaintiff to go with him and have a pic
ture taken in their bathing suits. Miss
Martins picture with Williams was exhb-
tied to the jury. 1t showed that Miss Mar
tin was apparently not only very pretty,
put also robust.
The plaintiff since the suit and since the
picture was made, married a man named
Ruppe. In her testimony she said that
she had been very ill, fainting often. Her
health had been very poor and she believ-
ed it would never be SO good as before the
accident.
The jury was out about an hour and
brought in verdict for the defendant cor
poration.

Naming Plants.
From Meehan's Monthly


When naming plant In honor Of some
man liberties are frequently taken in the
photography. and very often the person
chosen is more honored in the name than
by anything special that he did to deserve
It, The celebrated French botanist, Bail
leu, had the naming~of plant, from the
island of Juan Fernandez. that had never
before been named or described. From that
island he had naturally the story Of Robin
son Crlsoe In mind. and he thought. to
honor Crusoe's man Friday. he would give
this plant his name: but he did not call 1t
Fridaya. but translated 1t into the French
name for Frtday-that Is to say. the sixth
day IL the week. vendredi. and the plant il
described In the books as Vendredia No
one would ever suspect from this name
that 1t was intended to honor Robinson
Crusoe's sole companion ON the desolate is
land.

Hook-and-line fishermen are greatly ex-
cited just at present over the appearance
Of enormous schools of Goldfish in the
waters of Long Island sound north Of this
village. In the memory of the oldest resi-
dent such an occurrence has never been
recorded. While the sound coast has al
ways been a favorite fishing locality for
certain species Of fish. cod has never be-
fore been captured in these waters. Par
ties are fitted out each day and hurried
preparations are being made to land the
rev corners. which average from three to
six pounds weight each. The first to dis
cover the Goldfish at the sound was the
crew Of the East Marion Mfe-saving sta
ton. Selden Case. member of the crew,
told an Eagle reporter today that catches
were made daily by the crew at the sta
ton, as many as thirty-five having been
captured In one hour. Cod have been pick
ed up hfeless along the sound shores in a
well-preserved condition. and this Is an
indica ton of a school not far Off for when
a cod receives sand in its gills 1t imme-
diately chokes and browns. Therefore il
Is generally supposed that big schools,
which In their wanderfngs have ventured
too near the shore until caught In the surf
which gathers sand as 1t rolls, caused the
death Of the cod found on shore. Each
day brings fresh reports OF catches made
In the vicinity stated. Several traps set
along the coast for the purpose Of catching
edible fish have captured fine quantities
Of the cod during the past week.

An UnexpIoded Shell.

From the Aiken 6. c. Recorder.
Dr. league showed us the other day the
fuseof an unexploded 3OO-pounder Parrot
shell which was discovered under a pew In
St. Michaels Church. in Charleston. when
the church was overhauled after the earth
quake We were especially interested in
this bi. Of past history. as the shell was
taken from beneath the pew which was
owned by Mrs. Arthur Ford's father. She
and her family little realized when they sat
placidly for 30 many years after the war
under Mr.. Ke.th's good ministrations that
Trey were in such imminent and immediate
danger of fire and birthstone. This was the
only shell that struck ST. MichaePs Church
during the two years bomhardment. II en-
tered on the southeast corner of the church
and lodged under the door OF the northwest
side on Broad street. When the church
was got ready for service after the war the
noor was simply replaced and this uncanny
visitor left. Its presence unsuspected BY the
conversation.
