WORLDS FAIR
AT ST. LOUIS
The First Public Celebration Today
in Connection With the Great
Enterprise.
LOUISIANA PURCHASE DAY
The Unusual Severity of the Weather Com
PEELED the Abandonment of Some Of
the Features of Todays Oele-
bration.

st. Louis, Dec 20.-The first public
celebration in connection with the
Worlds fair, to be opened in st. Louis
in 1903 in commemoration of the Tooth
anniversary of the Louisiana purchase,
was held today, when ground was
broken on the site In Forest Park. This
day was selected for the important
event because it is the anniversary OF
the formal transfer of the Louisiana
territory to the United States. The
day was a holiday in st. Louis and
throughout Missouri as well as in most
of the purchase states, whose govern
ors issued proclamations, asking a
general observance of Louisiana Pur-
chase Flag-day." Great preparations
for the event had been made, but ow-
ing to the unusual severity Of the
weather, it was decided to abandon
some of the most striking features. At
the site of the educational building,
President Francis and other officials
welded shovels successfully Battery
A, Missouri National Guard, fired a sa
lutte of 60 guns. Moving pictures Of
these scenes were taken for exhibit
tion. The party was escorted to the
Coliseum, where the remainder Of the
program was carried out.
The sixty guns were divided into
nine groups, with three-minute inter-
walls. as follows: Twenty-Five for the
thirteen original states and those crea-
ted from them, IA for the Louisiana
purchase states, l for Florida, 1 for
Texas, Eor the territories discovered
and settled subsequent to 1916, 5 for
the states ceded by Mexico in 1S4S,
for the insular possessions, for Alas
ka, and 1 for the District Of Columbia.

WILL NOT OPPOSE GOVERNOR OTERO
Senator Elkins Is Friendly to Him-Pat
F. Garrett Confirmed by the Senate.

Special to the New Mexican.
Washington, Dec. 20.-There were
but five combinations on yesterday by
the U. s. senate and the pending
New Mexico nominations will therefore
not be reached until after the holiday
recess. Although there was fight on
Pat. F. Garrett as collector Of customs
at the port of Ell Paso, he was never
theless confirmed. There are many
employees at the custom house at Ell
Paso under the control of the collector,
but it is believed that but two or three
changes will take place when Mr.. Gar
rett assumes the office. 1t is said that
Benjamin Williams, we'll known
throughout New Mexico, will be given
an important position among the field
deputy inspectors A strict compliance
of the civil service laws will be re-
quired of the new collector.
1t is not believed that there is any
foundation for the rumor that Sena-
tors Scott and Elkins Of West Virginia,
will oppose Governor Otero's conf1rma-
ton. 1t is we'll known that Senator
Elkins has within the past few weeks
expressed himself as being very
friendly to Governor Otero and in fav-
or Of his reappointment. The rumor to
the contrary can be traced to no defln-
lite or authoritative source.
The senate yesterday afternoon con-
f1rmed the nomination Of Major Fred
erick Muller to be receiver of public
moneys at the Santa Fe federal land
office.
Another dispatch from Washington
says: "The New Mexico delegation will
ask for the appointment of Captain
w. e. Dame as internal revenue collec-
tor for Arizona and New Mexico. 1t Is
doubtful If Vance will be reappointed
surveyor general"

is an instructive thing. It certifies the fact that the fifteenth amendment is a dead-letter in the first year of the twentieth century; that after using the ballot and securing more or less repre- sentation in Congress for thirty-two years the entire negro race, eight mill lions in 1901 instead of four millions in 1861, has totally disappeared as a politi- cal quantity and is absolutely disfran- chised.
 Further, put together the fact that Booker T. Washington's entertainment at dinner by President Roosevelt recently moved a large section of the Southern people and press to angry expressions of resentment. and the fact that within the week the same Booker T. Washington has been refused admission to the three leading hotels of Springfield. in Massa- chusetts. Massachusetts is not only Northern State but the State of Garrison, Phillips, Sumner and the first Abolition ists! Here is still more instruction touching the real progress the colored race is making toward equality of rights
 It seems to he a very very gradual progress in all parts of the country.

EDUCATION
 THAT PAYS Montgomery Business Col lege Course SurpaSSeS
 Others, KNOWLEDGE IS SUCCESS Reasons Why Some Succeed While Others Fail. Young Men and Women Starting Out out in Life Should Be Care
 full to Attend the
 Right School.

In these days of active competition 1t Is very necessary that one secure the very best preparation possible, if he ex- poets to succeed in business. The educa- ton that pays the best and the one that you can get quicker returns from than any other Is thorough training in a first class bueiness college. Young men and women starting out in life should be careful to attend the right school. Many fail because they happened to get in the wrong college and did not secure the proper training Others get in the right school and succeed in securing a good position. and push on to the top because they received the proper atten- tion and the proper training.
 The Montgomery Business College was established because it was felt that this community needed a school that would impart thorough business training, and its course of instruction has been care fully studied and everything mapped out so as to give the student the very best instruction possible, in the shortest time possible.
 This is a home institution and deserves the patronage of all Montgomerians and Alahamians
 Professor L. Ie May. the Principal, has no superior in the South as an edu-
  sisted by an able corps of teachers. and that they are giving perfect satisfac- tion is proven by the fact that students after attending other business colleg enter the Montgomery Business College to finish thei- education and be able to accept positions
 The Montgomery Business Collge is splenddly located in one of the most commodlous buildings on Dexter Avenue; opposite the postoffice.
 Although the Montgomery Business Col lege is comparatively a new institution, the attendance exceeds that of other col leges of the city. The rate of tuition is low. within reach of all.
 We bespeak for this institution glori- ous future and any young man or woman. anticipating a business education. should correspond or investigate this college be- fore going elsewhere. This college has students occupying some of the best po- sitions i1 tn city.
