the college greenhouse on the 4th inst.
was eminently successful. 1t appear
ed to be highly appreciated by the
large attendance of visitors present.
The greenhouse was we'll filed by
fine assortment of chrysanthemum OF
all shades, and in the seed house,
near by, the main hall had been de-
corated for the occasion, and long
tables were we'll covered with
specimens growing in pots. The
event is the first of its kind at this COL
lege, and it is hoped will become an
annual occurrence. Among the many
visitors present were noticed ex-Sen-
ator John J. ingalls, of Kansas, who is
at present q guest at the Alameda In
Las Cruces; Hob. John r. McFie, OF
Santa Fe, New Mexico; Mrs. Numa
Raymond and Miss Amelia Frenger, OF
Las Cruces, with visiting friends from
ST. Louis, and Professor Seymour. Of
the University of Wisconsin,, and 9TH
ers.
The general exercises held on Mon
day mornings continue to be OF much
interest. On two occasions recently
students have performed by original or
declamatory exercises. On the 7th
inst. Ex-Governor L. Bradford Prince,
of Santa Fe, addressed the students in
q pleasing and inspiring manner, tax
ing for his subject the text, "Aim
high" His remarks were followed by
few particularly we'll chosen words
by President Sanders. The short ad-
dresses made at these exercises by DR..
Sanders are usually rich in thought,
and leave an effect on his hearers
| which is as elevating as it is accept
able.
THE BASKET BALL GIRLS.
The entertainment given by the bas-
ket ball girls Saturday night last was
the first public entertainment of the
year. The attendance was good and
the program rendered one of the best
in recent years. Various musical num-
bers were given throughout the even
ing, and farce entitled, "My Turn
Next" was we'll presented by cast
of six or seven characters.
! The program concluded by Delsarte
drill, entitled. "Dsnce of the Maids"
given by nine of the young lady stud
ents. The entertainment was given
| for the purpose of raising the necessa-
| ry funds to pay the expense of q visit
ing basket ball team from Albuquer-
que or Ell Paso, and it is hoped ar
| engagements for a match game during
| the Christmas vacation will be made.
The announcements that foot ball
college team ana the Albuquerque
Ind ian school team, on December
23rd, has raised to still higher pitch
the interest in foot ball; 30 much SO,
indeed, that two of our students have
received slight injuries during recent
practice. One of these, Manuel
B. Otero, of Santa Fe, was
thought at first to be seriously hurt,
but he quickly recovered, and ever
| since he has been the hero of the
girls. Coach J. O. Miller is handling
the team very skillfully and with the
benefit of his experience on the Colo
RADIO University team last winter.
Other interests in athletics center
around the construction of a new ten
mis- court on the campus, which is near
ing completion.

japanese Ladies'.

Beauty, from Japanese standpoint,
consists of long, oval face. regular
features, almond shaped eyes, sloping
slightly upward, high narrow fore
head and abundance of smooth black
hair. Their movements are graceful,
although the style of their dress pre-
vents them walking with ease; their
feet and hands are delicstely formed,
and their manners unquestiOnably
charming.
They take little or no exercise, and
one wonders sometimes how the little
ladies employ their time-there seems
so little to be done in a Japanese house.
To begin with, there are no regular
meals. The shops near at hand supply
mum berless little dishes, which seem to
be eaten at all hours of the day and
night-a few pecks at q time-with
those impossible little chopsticks. Very
little is kept in the larder except some
slices of dalkon, fermented turnip,
some rice and sweet biscuits.

Eggs are cheap and plentiful; tread

MESILLA PARK, N. M, Nov. a.
The Choral club is now thoroughly un-
der way and doing good work. 1t
meets every Thursday evening at the
girls dormitory.
w. G. Dunn, the piano dealer of Ell
Paso, who has many friends up here,
sent up fine Kranich and Bach piano
last week, which is an addition to the
department of music. The instrument
is admired greatly by the best judges
here.
Religious services are held in the
Sunday night and are taken advantage
of by the student body. Rev. John
Mordy, of the Las Cruces Presby terrain
church, usually conducts these serv-
ices.
J. F. Bennett, assistant in the botan-
ical department, with two friends made
q one days trip to the Organ mount
aims few days since, and the party re-
turned with vcnison enough to last
them for couple of weeks.
Halloween was spent by the student
body in various ways. The usual con-
tingent of college boys were much in
evidence at the houses of the various
members of the faculty. and their
boisterous and original music was
heard for a considerable distance In
the still night air. The various pranks
played by the organized body were of
a good-natured and harmless character.
The students of the preparatory de-
partment were that night entertained
at the dormitory by President Sanders
in most delightful aud enjoyable
manner. Appropriate halloween
games were played during the even
ing and the student body of the pre-
paratory department probably enjoyed
themselves more thoroughly than in
any other way possible.
The department of domestic econo-
my, which is at present located in the
girls dormitory, is about to be equip
ped by the purchase of necessary sup
plies. Miss Alice HorninP, who is at
the head of this department., is making
arrangements to provide the neces ssry
instruction at the earliest possible
date.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-It is broadly
intimated here that Gen. Eagan, in his
attack on Gen. Miles. had the tacit
backing of Secretary of War Alger. II
he diG not. why was he not at once
placed under arrest?
The public clamor that some official
cognizance be taken of the brccah of
discipline, military law and the pro
prietics continues. The ease promises
to become as famous as the army
scandals of France. But little else is
discussed.
Yet Alger remains passive. When
asked whether or not he would take
action. he seemed annoyed, and the di-
rectness of the question offended him
and provoked a snarling answer. zen.
Miles has indulgcd in no vituperation,
but he has made "the CALLED jade

picturesque, but he has overlooked tn,
necessity of presenting facts.
