The following is list of those cadets
in the collegiate department at the New
Mexico Military Institute who, during
the past session, completed the work in
their respective classes. The passing
mark is 60. A county appointee who
falls below go forfeits his commission,
and no cadet whose average for the ses-
sion is less will be allowed to pass in the
next higher class.
1t is worthy of remark that three of
the four medals awarded were won by
county appointees and the highest
stand was taken by county appointee.
1t has been said that perhaps the coun-
ty appointees were held to stricter ac-
count at the N. NJ. M. 1. This Is prob
ably mere notion but whether true or
not 1T is certain that they have, during
The past session, seemed to fully realize
the value OF their commissions and have
worked diligently to retain them:

The After Easter Masked Ball,

One of the most enjoyable after. Eas-
ter affairs among the leading social set
OF the city that has ever taken place
here was the Masked B all given ut Odd
Fellows Hall last Tuesday night under
the auspices of about eighty we'll. known
and popular young and married ladies.
The maskers began to arrive about s D.
m and from that time until 1890, when
the unmasklng took place, there was
more real fun enjoyed by those who
were masked and those who were un
masked than could be gotten in the
same amount Of time under any other
circumstances. Hoffman's Orchestra
was in attendance and disceursed some
OF their sweetest strains. The hall was,
comparatively speaking, quiet during
the early part Of the ovening because it
was a good move not to say too much
lest your neighbor find out who you
were. There were Indians from the wild
and woody West, COW boys from the
plains, characters from Shakes peare,
characters of Biblical prominence, little
maids from school with states and PEN
oils trying their best to make two and
two Ave, gypsy queens, fairy queens,
queens of heaIts, monks, dominoes, stu.
dents, knavss, dudes, j )ckies and vol
unteer soldiers. Some Of the girls de-
picted milk maids, the rainbow and
nearly every other character that can
be imagined. Supper was served from
eleveh o'clock on. The dancers, stop
ping at any time, partook to their hearts
content OF the delieacies supplied by
Lowery, the caterer, apd then returned
to indulge once more tn the light fan
tastic. When the unmasking took place
many surprises were in store for those
present. Ferocious psrsonages in an
instant became mild hammered, gentle
manly young fellows. Topsiss and Aant
Ophs]iss became attractive school
na'ams. Women became men and
tightening change acts were the order
OF the evening. Such affairs are de-
light to all of the residents of our race
In this community as well as visitors to
our beautiful city sinoeit brings togeth
or In social intercourse In an lnfer nally
formal way the very best element in
cur race. Most of our leading men in
the professions and IN business and In
the social scale were present and
while all of them were not masked,
all of them were as gay and as
joyous as though their happy child
hood had once more returned. We
would like to 60 into details and
elaborate on the grotesqueness and ef.
iectiveness of some of the costumes but
there Were so many that were excel
leHt that spacs forbids detailed men
ton. The funtien wound up at one
o'clock when cabs, carriages and auto-
mobiles were laughingly entered and
the happy throng departed for their
homes after an evening filled with
mir th, music, dancing and pure unadul-
Grated enjoyment. The ladies who had
the affair in charge proved themselves
adopts In that line, 1t being q question
whether an equal number of men could
have brought the affair to such point
of perfection. 1t was perfect success
In every way.

u;,s-The Church, it's Con-

Notes.

- forth by the pastor, trustees and
p,,bore of the A M. E. church here to
,.,.e M 800 to be applied toward the
r,,,dation OF the church debt, has
~ s,onsed the most favorable comment
probabIy none we're more surprised oy
.ho Unexpected success than the church
MANNERS themselves. The seemingly
,,,ross,ble nature of the projsct and
,,o MAGNITUDE of the work Accomplished
o,n hardly be understood by one not
oo,nainted with the conditions which
obtsin here. The colored population OF
tbis c,tv is about 600. The membership
of the largest eolored church is about
me hundred. while the A. M. 4.
Church, which is in the most pros
D.rcus condition, enrolls forty men,
hers. It is surprising to note the fact
that only three males are included In
this number, hence the A. NJ. E. Con-
nection owes much to the 81 Ladies
who have labored 50 faithfully to sus-
t,in the church. A few weeks ago the
pastor and the board of trustees COM
posed of Messrs. NJ. w. Grayson, Will
liam NJ. wilkins N, Sherman Fl, Guss,
Harry Green snd Allen Le, determined
to make an effort to raise the sum
stated above aud Issued an appeal to
the public through the columns OF the
local papers. The pastor assisted py
tha members and friends Of the church
Immediately en- er,d upon the task set
before them, and met with success
which exceeded even their fondest
hopes,
In addition to the subscriptions col.
Iected, several entertainments were
given which materially aided the pas
tor in his efforts to secure the hoped
for sum- Among them was box social
by Mrs, Thomas WellmaD, concert
and festival by Mesdames Guss, West
and Henry, and a graphaphone cor
cert by Rev. Thos. Cooke of Christ
Episcopal church. Of the $3l5 col
lected, $2O4 was raised by the pastors
personal efforts and he modestly re-
ters to it as "happy result brought
about by Providence" He solicited
subscriptions not alone in this city but
visited adjacent towns and by his
earnest demeanor aud courteous maH'
ner secured both friends and money
The credit for this highly satisfactory
work is due mainly to the magnificent
work of the bright young pastor, Rev
JE. Morris. He has been here but
short time ard his earnest and un'
tiring Efforts have already born gooe
fruit, seen In the increased attendance
at Sunday services, the organization o.
alyceum. the ere ction of pulpit plat
form, the substitution of natural gas
for heating and lighting purposes and
other mprovements. When he an
nOunced bis determination to col
lect the amount wanted, one othel
divine who has resided here for
number Of years warned him to be pre-
psred for Keen disappointment, s'for, "
said he, "you will never succeed in
raising the sum you want" Without
the shadow of doubt or the slightest
hesitation, Rev. Morris replied, "sir, /
viii raise every cent Of the $500 before
our grand rally" His answer was, I'll
you do, come to me and as poor as
am will contribute another dollar.
