In describing the bombardment Of

kilograms to the flagship from one point

This, of course, prevented the vessels
of the fleet from making her come out
side and enabled her to approach the
flagship to deliver her communications.
Before leaving Port Antonio we had
taken in a large supply of fresh fruit,
including bananas, so it occurred to one
of our very alert and original newspa-
per men that we should hoist the sig
nal, "We havs bananas for the Texas

This we acted upon, and our vessel
was allowed to glide in without inter

us with delight, accepted our little gift

PRESS BULLETIN NO 3
Of the New Mexico College of Agrl-
culture And Mechanic Arts
Experimental Grass Garden.

| One of the great needs of agriculture
in New Mexico is pasture grass for
cattle. Alfalfa is an excellent pasture
| for horses, but it is apt to cause bloat in
cattle, and as the more common grass
es of the east have not proven satisfac-
| tory an effort is being made at the
Agricultural College to find one or
more species that will prove we'll adapt
ed to valley farms. The college has
been fortunate at the start of this
search for a grass in having the kind
assistance of the agrostologist of the
department of agriculture at Washing
ton, who has supplied seeds of
trial. Several of these are natives of
the arid and semi-arid regions, and
there is reasonable hope of tn cir sue
cess. AS only q small quantity of each
kind of seed was secured it was deter
mined to plant them in grass garden.
Shall beds, containing from two to ten
square rods, were carefully prepared,
and their borders defined by ridges so
that each bed could be irrigated as
needed. The grass seed was sown
broad cast, one variety to bed, and
the garden was at once irrigated. The
seed was sown March fourth,
and the soil being rather
heavy two applications of wafer
were given before the seed germinat-
ed. Almost all the species have
sprouted, and there Is every indica-
tion of q good stand. Among the
species that have made the most vigor-
Gus start it is interesting to note that
all same one are natives of the plains.
The best stand thus far is of Red Top,
and following this in order are sew
eral species of Rye Grass, Wheat
Grass and Bronze.
These grass beds, small as they are,
will give some indication of the adapta-
bility of the several species to the
climate, and such as withstand our
scale next year, when an effort will be
made to determine their value for
pasturage and possibly for hay. Notes
of the best species will be given in
later press bulletins

Reputation.

In the ''Memoir'' of Lord Bramwell
is telling illustration of the fact that
reputation clings to US, even after many
years. The great jurist as little lad
became a pupil at DR.. Reddy's school,
where the late Baron CHANNEL, three
years his senior, was head boy.
Channel read for the law, and the
two school friends scarcely met again
until, years afterward, Mr.. CHANNEL
held brief in a certain case at Maid
stone assizes.
Consultation with the solicitors
showed flaw in the pleadings drawn
by them. 1t was of a sort which in
those days would prove fatal to the
case. The solicitors could only hope
that it would not be discovered.

cate, ''we're done. L was at school with

BOLD ROBBERS.
Ransacked Two Houses in the Fifth Ward
Last Night.

Last Night
Robbers are at work again and they are
apparently of very bold and audacious
character They operated at two houses in
the Fifth ward last night, but they were not
successful in securing much booty. There
were two men.
The first visit was made to the house of
John Zewinski, on West Raspberry alley.
The family was absent from the house. The
visit was made between eight and nine
o'clock. The thieves took ladder from
Bernard Friedman's neighboring warehouse
and entered the residence by forcing second
story window. After thoroughly ransacking
the upper part of the house they descended to
the first floor, but failed to find anything of
value in any of the apartments. On leaving
the house the thieves took the ladder from
the place, They were met by Mrs. Zewinski.
who ssked the men in the Lithuanian
language what they were doing with the lad
der The men apparently did not understand
what was said. They said nothing and made
no attempt to conceal their identity, but cody
walked over to the warehouse and put the
ladder in the place from which they had
taken it. They then walked away with
marked deliberation. Mrs. Zewinski de.
scribes the men as being young, well built
and clean shaven.
Some time before ten o'clock last night
robbers visited Bernard Friedmanis house at
213 West Centre street. Mr.. Friedman's
house is at the front end of the lot on which
the Zewinski house is located. Entrance to
the rear of the second story was gained with
the aid of the ladder that was used at the
Zewinski place. Friedman and his family
were down stairs and did not know of the
visit until they discovered the ladder at the
rear of the house at ten o'clock. The robbers
thoroughly ransacked all the apartments on
the second floor and also the garnet They
carried away piece Of silk valued at sl2,
which Mrs. Friedman had purchased foI a
dress, and also found thirty-six cents.

The Brockway Entertainment Course will
open in Ferguson's theatre this evening, the
attraction being Marc, the distinguished
prestdigitatuer. musician, artist and shadow
graphist.
The hands of Marc are at once the hands of
a musician, painter and a magician. Ordin-
arily lifetime is required to perfect the
manual training for any one of these pro-
fessions Yet, here is pair of hands belong
to young man whose paintings are favorably
received by connOisseurs; who plays every
variety of musical instrument with the finish
of virtuOso, and who excels as an exponent
of the art of necromancy. Marc regards his
hands much as if they were distinct individ-
uals wholly apart from himself. II dom {
know which of my hands is the Cleverer," he
said Sometimes 1 think it is the left one,
when notice what it has to do in the COM
plicated lingering while l am playing. On
the violin and other stringed instruments it
seems to have the more important work to
do. Yet, on the piano the right hand, as a
rule, is given all the delicate work, while the
left gets the heavy manipulation. In paint
ing, the right does the bulk Of the duty and
in magic the burden is about equally divided.
Every successful magician has to be ambi-
dextrous, as a matter of necessity, so l use
both hands equally well in all ordinary en-
ployments, like handling tools or throwing a
ball"
