DlNSM0RE LECTURE.
At Santa Fe Reading Room Last
Saturday Night.
A DELIGHTFUL MUSICAL PROGRAM.

The railroad mems gathering at the
Santa Fe Pacific reading rooms last
Saturday evening was an unique and
interesting AFFAIR. The rooms were
crowded to their fullest capacity and
many were turned away.
The musical program was in charge
OF A. l.. Newton. an employe OF the
company, with Miss Nellie Taylor at
the piano. The instrument. a most
handsome design OF the greatest piano
of the world, the "Chickering," was
loaned TO the employees by that enter
prising musical firm OF this city.
Messrs. Hall a Learnard.
The overture by Prof. ID Mauro on
the violin and Miss Palladino on the
piano. was rendered with splendid eff
feet and at once received a well-earned
encore. II the encore II an indication
OF excellent rendition. every number
vas a perfect success, but the evening
was too short 20 encourage a response
to them.
Little Jack Horner" by a mixed
quartette consisting Of Mrs. Knight
linger. Mrs. Hale and Messrs. Newton
and Francis. was artistlcally given and
frightened every heart.
The soprano solo by Miss Taylor, vio-
lin obligato by Prof. hi Mauro, cannot
be described in a Newspaper notice.
Words are such a FRAN covering for
such a wonderfully rich voice and per-
feet %intonatlon hat we won't mar il
by using them. The remark OF the SUI
p%erintendent OF the reading rooms tells
It all: Il am a better IA for that
music"
The solo: Mission Of the Rose" by
Mrs. Knightllnger. was given with
charming effect and awakened sweet
sentiments In every heart.
We do not desire to compliment Miss
Taylor's piano solo. II doesn't need
It. II might have been the piano. II
might have been the audience. The
writer OF this thinks IL was Miss Tay-
lor and her touch.
The vocal duet "o'er the HILL" by
Miss Gehring and Mrs. Hale. was the
last number. and truly capped the cli-
max to a program that could not have
been excelled for an entertainment Of
that nature. Mr.. Busser. the superin-
tendent OF the reading rooms, might
have been over enthusiastic. but he
gave It all in a nutshell when he said
There Is more musical talent to the
square inch in Albuquerque than In any
other city in the United states"
The lecture by Prof. Dinsmore was
truly an ~up-to-date scientific portrayal
from the chemists standpoint. Ills
experiments were most brilliant and
fascinating. His scintillations OF wit
and moral sharp points went home "a
all.
The reading room department Is to
congratulated on being able to procure
such talent for these educational enter
tainments. His imaginative portrayal
OF Albuquerque one hundred years
from now, when science has solved the
problem OF how TO maxi life, was tC
say ingenious and laughable. His dos
factory and the ease with which
science turns out young men to ordei
for the interested young lady. brought
the color OF hope to some fair eyes IL
the audience. As a popular scientific
lecturer Dinsmore Is a great success
Mr.. s. Il. Busser. the superintendent
of reading rooms, outlined the worl
Of this department in a few well chosei
words. In the circulation OF over 1000
books only W. have been lost. Thl

any books for the employees at the bes
prices in Chicago n deliver them FIRE

spoke tenderly and touchingly of tn
recent death OF Superintendent w. L
Michigan OF the Panhandle division
Just before his death Michigan said {
his wife: smile on me when / al
suffering my greatest and | viii smil
back az o as long as | can" II
painted Bill Frisbie's words at tn
Lang wreck on the minds OF all

influence OF such an entertainment, bu
judging by the expressed sentiments {
many employees, It has been most hell
ful and ~elevating, and certainly pay
the company LOO per cent on the inves0
ment.
