This Is the Accented Time,

In the midst of alarms the great ter
ritory of New Mexico goes right on de-
veloping mineral wealth, building irri-
CATION systems, and increasing the size
of the flocks and herds within her boun-
diaries, yes, and building railroads. 1.-The
land of Manana" is fast becoming a cen
ter of wealth and growth. The wealth,
In the major part is of the kind which
is entirely new, something which adds
to that already in use, and is not ac-
CURED by drawing from other sections
of the country. Gold mines, silver
mines, copper mines and lead mines
have been opened and are successful
producers, and still there is room for
more. One-half of the mining that has
been done in the territory is only sur
face scratching; the deeper the shafts
are sunk the richer grow the ores, and
this fact is being demonstrated every
day. The climate is all that can be
asked; provisions are plenty and reason
able in price, and life and property are
safe everywhere. Agricultural lands
lie in every valley and water can be had
by expanding a little labor. Where can
more favorable conditions be found for
the miner or homeseeker?
The new railroads now building are
opening up rich sections OF country
where there are minerals of all kinds,
grazing and agricultural lands; oppor-
tunities are on every hand for the man
with a little ready capital to engage in
business and make for himself a home
and competence. The year 1898 has
brought all these things to the front as
never before, and the chances Of a life
time are being snapped up with avidity
by new corners, The newer sections of
the territory are not alone in enjoying a
general revival Of business, or as might
be said, the good old day of before rail-
roads are coming back, and the men

lands at the present time will make no
mistake.
All these things bring the people of
Santa Fe back to the question, who will
take the sugar industry in hand and
carry 1T to success? Now is the time to
strike; now is the time to interest capt.
tai in a business which offers big returns
on the investment. 1t has been demon
strated that Santa Fe possesses many
advantages over other parts of New
Mexico, or the entire southwest for that
matter, and it only remains for the
property owners and business men of
the city to act in unison to secure that
which will completely transform the
Oldest city in the United States into the
most prosperous. Who will start the ball
rolling?

The queen regent OF Spain is beseech-
ing all the great powers in Europe to
aid her to save the Spanish throne for
her son. But the same queen regent
turned a very deaf ear to the hundreds
OF thousands of poor and wretched
starving in fair Cuba who have died
and are dying by thousands of disease,
hunger, starvation and misery. One
stroke from the queens pen would have
put a stop to the fearful and awful har-
vest gathered by the grim reaper in Cuba
many months ago; but the queen would
not. And now that r%etribution is near
at hand she goes begging for aid. But
the horror in Cuba will soon be at a
close, queen regent or no queen regent,
Spanish throne or no Spanish throne.

1T does seem as if some of the Demo-

with crime. Let justice take its course.

IN SOCIAL CIRCLES.
Miss Wells Entertained the B,
"Teazed" Club Last Night.
PLEASANT AFFAIR
The Olympia Club Will Dance
Next Tuesday Night.

Last evening at her charming
home corner Charles and Brown
Betty streets, Miss Blanche Wells
entertained the members of the "B.
Teazed" Eucher club in a most
hospitable manner. This club
which has been organized by the
young society ladies of the city is
just in its inception and the recep-
ton rendered the members last
evening by Miss Wells was the first
meeting they have had since it's
organization. 1t is composed of
the best people of the city and
there is not the least doubt but that
the long winter evenings will be
most pleasantly whiled away at the
fascinating game from which the
club takes its name. 1t is the OBJ.
lect to hold the meetings of the
club at the homes of the members
alternately, and a meeting will
probably be held each week.
The meeting of the club last eve
ming at the home OF Miss Wells was
a most enjoyable one, and if taken
as criterion of the ones 10 be held
during the winter, there is not the
least doubt of a pleasant time. The
guests arrived at about 8 o'clock
and Miss Wells was assisted In re
ceiving by several of her young
lady friends. The playing COM
menced at about 9 o'clock and as
there were some excellent players
in the club it was fascinating, ex-
citing and very interesting. Miss
Lucie Ramey received first prize,
and Col. Jack Kincaid got the sec.
ond.
A very pleasant surprise for the
members of the club was the elegant
luncheon served in the dining
room of the Hotel Wells " Itch adj

Host Wilson, as a caterer cannot be
equaled at anything but last even
ing he seemed to have outdone him
self. The tables in the dining
room were most artistically arrang-
ed and the luncheon consisted of
appropriate viands for the occasion
were served in the inimitable STYLE
of the hotel.
Among those present at the re
ceptton rendered the club by Miss
Wells were, Mr.. and Mrs. William

The outlook in social circles for
! the winter in this city is all that
could be desired. There will be

entertainments by the different or

limited that before the winter is over
there will be one or more weddings
