w. Rankin Good, seventeen-year old school boy of Cincinnati. after the Maine was blown up proposed in letter to one of the daily papers of Cincinnati that the school children of the country should raise enou' h money to build battle ship to take the place of the Maine. and be named the "Amerlcan Bnv." The idea seemef to take aston ishingly well ard the money is now being raised. The scheme has the endorsement Of President Mckinley. Secretary AIger and othrrs high in authority, aud many thousands of dol. lars have already been raised for the purpose. Every st hnol in the country w.ll be allowed tO raise a fund for the purpose of helping the work along. and It is thought the money will be raised periniendent of Public Instruction NJ. c. de Baca Of this territory are deeply interested Tn the matter and Mir. de BIca will draw the attention of every teacher in the territory 70 the matter. Without doubt the Lordsbnrg school chiIdr ,n will take hand in the matter and help D swell the fund. The money is to be sent to the committee Tn Cincin- natl, who will place it Tn bank and as fast as $50 0000 is raised it will ne de- posted m the United States treasury to the credit of the "AmerIcan Boy" fund, and when enough is raised the navy department will prOceed to build the battl ship. Contributions are not con- fined to school children. Every one who is interested in the matter, or in the children, are at liberty to contri- bute.-Liberal

 The bovs are al excited over he pros pects of going 10 Lexington. of to any piare besides Whipple. So many false rnmors and reports have been circulated however, that many refuse to belIeve it. II is to be hoped that we go via the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe so that We will go through Albuquerque. want to state right here that anyone wilt not need Gatling gun to force hIs way on to the train if he has a box of home cooked grub.
 We are no longer company "A" but company" E." the Phoenix company taking A as being the senior company of the first battalion Mail should be addressed to company E First Terri torial Regiment, Volunteer Infantry. Our company moved into theIr new dining room today noon. when Chief Rader served sumptnous repast in honor of the event. IL is large room in the deser ted csnteen building and has been fitted mp with tables and ben rhes by Artifirer Vince CT. It's vast improvement over the way we have been obliged tO eat sitting on the porch nr in tue squah rooms. It has an ad- diu"nal advantage in tEa: all cooking Is entirely removed from the barracks.
 Last night "NquaJ 4" held a dance in their spacious parlHrs. IL was well at- tended by the leading members of the best society and dancing was kept mp until tattoo put an end the gaietv Mus. jeans Murphy and Mckee delight ted everybody with their appropriate selec- ti"ns "xecuted on the month harp and guitar.
 "Grave Charley Whiting" proved himself past master in the art nfleai. ing all kiIds of fancy and square dance. Private Chapman appeared yesterday Tn new pair Of find whit duck pants. The leading mystery just now is where did he get them.
 East Monday the regiment followed the remains of their dead comrade to the pretty cemefarv in Government Gulrh. where the impressive military funeraI rites and those of the Old Fellows were carried out. His was the first death in the regiment.

 Ills friends hsd at last to watch 8 proper moment to throw ont the eggs and put some young chickens in their place. Then the old man, satisfied that he had accomplished his task. went about choking and strutting in the midst of his brood.
