President Jordan interviewed

Prof. G. L. Jordan, president of the
Agricultural college, while in Santa
Fe recently, had the following account
to give of the present state OF that IL
StltuJ'O1:
The intention of the law establish
| ing agricultural colleges is to make
| them frst-class schools of applied
science, with agriculture and mecnaL-
| les as leading features. Similar schools
| in the states were originally endowed
| with large land grants, afterwards a
supplemental appropriation was made
for them. The territorial schools
never received the land grant endow-
ment, and in consequence the income
of the territorial agricultural college
from the United States is limited TO
the supplemental appropriation,
amounting last year to 81, 600. In
order to get this appropriation the
college must comply with certain con-
ditions: must teach or be repaired to
teach certain things provided for in the
bill making the endowment. These
things, besides the Euglish branches,
political economy, science of govern
ment, history, and all the varied
sciences that bear up on agriculture
and mechanical arts.
The college al Las Cruces has nine
departments. each OF which is in charge
OF specialist in that particular line |
In some of these departments assistants
are also employed. These departments |
are divided in accordance with the gen
eral rule governing the agricultural !
and mechanical colleges of the coun-
try.
"The fact that the government ap-
can only be used for certain |
makes it necessary that the
territory should supply funds for those |
purposes for which the government
unds are not applicable, such as pay

The Grau opera company sang to the
b ggest matinee house ever gathered
in this city, Saturday afternoon, when
they presented the ever f4vorite opera
of the Bohemian Girl. The sprightly
music caught the younger element
especially, and the whole thing went
of with a snap and refreshing vim.
The star of the occasion was Alice
Carrie. On no previous occasion had
she shown off to such advantage as on
this, although during the week she had
won merited applause. Miss Garlic was
the Gypsie queen par excellence, and
her rich. heavy, melodiOus coutralto
easily filled the auditorium. Her cos
tune was superb, and her acting was
equal to her singing. She is very
well preserved and attractive woman.
Off the stage she appears to be about
thlrty-siN, but her makeup changes
her into a girl OF nineteen. Miss Garlic
takes such very good care CT herself
that She ought to appear young even at
the age of Maggie Mitchell.
Miss johnson was lovely as usual, as
Airline, but the contraltO oversha-
dOwed her this time, with proportions
imposing and heroic, both in voice and
acting. Stanley Fetch as Devllshoof
maintained his reputation as come
dian and singer, and the chorus work
all through was well done. y good
al round opera company will catch the
public every time. rather than two or
three with a wretched support.
