Rnse Ball Agaln.

The ball game Sunday was
witnessed by an unusually large
crowd. The new grandstaud
was occupied to its utmost capac-
ity. The new uniforms of the
Mexican team, donned for the
first time, added much to the at
tractiveness of the game. The
American team hope to have
their uniforms for use tomorrow.
Both teams have improved Won
derfully since the rivalry be-
tween them sprang up and spec
tators now have the pleasure of
witnessing some really first class
playing. Sundays game result
ed in a score of 19 to IA in favor
of the Americans.

RathbOne Sisters Ball.

The Calico Ball given by the
Rathbone Sisters Monday night
was one of the most successful
affairs of the kind that has oc-
Cured in Socorro in many a day.
The number in attendance was
large, too large in fact for the
capacity of the Knights of
Pythias hall in which the ball
was held. The ball took its
name from the fact that each
lady was gowned in calico and
furnished her escort a necktie to
match. Everybody reported a
most enjoyable time. The net
receipts of the entertainment
amounted to about S45.

Magdalcna Letter.
Magdalena, Feb. II, 19C

Magdalena, Feb. IL, 1902.
EDITOR CHIEFTAIN:
The recent SHOWS have been a
great help to cattle and sheep,
they being able to stay in the
high hills now where they have
water and grass together.
1t seems that H. T. Maybery
of Patterson and H. c. Medley of
Magdalena are distinguishing
themselves as destroyers of the
lobo wolf. Mr.. Maybery is using
a pair of tanned wolves in his ad-
ventures, while Mr.. Medley is
using steel traps. They have
killed twelve of the beasts, nine
of these being shared by May
berry.
There is quite bit of interest
being taken among cowmen re-
garding the action of Juan Gar
cia and Jesus Landovazo's sheep
herds. They have moved their
sheep in on the range of our
neighbors Williams and Gatlin
and have stated that they intend
staying there as long as snow
lasts. This is a bad thing on
Williams and Gatliu as they
have quite a herd of cattl, and
not very much grass. This is an
outrage. The cattlemen must
get together and try to do some
thing, by compromise if possible.

There was a man on the street
Thursday with three live wild
geese that he had disabled at a
single shot from his rifle. At
least that is how he said he cap
tured them. The geese were for
sale and when asked his price
the owner replied that he would
take six bits apiece, or two dol
lars and six bits for the bunch.
Jos. E. Smith, who is a MEM
Der of the board of trustees of the
School of Mines, visited the insti-
tuition yesterday to interest the
students in the sale of tickets for
the Liquid Air lecture. This
lecture is to be given under the
auspices of the School of Mines
and the net proceeds, if any, will
be expended in books for the
library.
Carl f. Dunnegan has located
in Lordsburg, N. NJ, where he
will engage in the general mer-
chandise business. 1t had been
hoped that Mr.. Dunnegan would
locate permanently in Socorro
and his many friends here are
greatly disappointed that it could
not be so. He will take with
him a world of good wishes from
this city.
Fred Davenport, who recently
left Socorro to undertake the en-
gineering work on a projected
line of railroad from Cerrillos to
some coal mines fifteen miles dis
tant, is reported sorely afflicted
with inflammatory rheumatism
During Mr.. and Mrs. Davenport's
stay in Socorro they made many
friends who now express hearty
sympathy for them in their af-
Fiction.

County Bonds.

The county commissioners have
received this week the old county
bonds of 1884 and 1889 to the
amount of $15O,0O0 which were
refunded last summer into S per
cent bonds. These bonds had been
bearing 9 per cent. The new
bonds therefore represent a saw
ing of 81, 500 a year in interest to
tax payers of the county.

Ball Game Arranged for WashlngtOn's
Birthday.

The Mexican and American
teams have arranged to celebrate
Washington's birthday with a
grand game of baseball. The
game will be played with both
mines decked out in their new
uniforms. Some royal sport may
be expected, as the teams are
quite evenly matched, play good
ball, and will doubtless on this
occasion be inspired to do their
best. The grandstand has been
enlarged and covered. Ten
cents will be charged for admit
tance to a seat. Come out and
witness a good game.

WHEN GRANT WAS SATISFIED.

One rainy night in the autumn, as Mark Twain was leaving a theater on Broadway, he heard voice which was entirely strange to him utter these sug- gestive words. "They say General Grant is going to write his memoirs, after all.'' MT Clemens saw neither the man nor his companion, but he regarded the voice as extremely providential. He was at that time a partner in the ex- tremelv successul firm of Charles l.. i Webster &, Co. and considered himself in luck to have heard so early in the transaction the news of General Grants intention to write the book. ! Early the next morning he sent in his card at the generals residence and was received by the latter in the li- brary. where he was evidently at work at that very time upon the story of his life. The house in which he lived was on Sixty-sixth street, near Cen tral Park, and, being quite feeble at the time, he spent most of his days at home. ..... ...- .u.< s s@

 Mir Clemens expressed great sur prise. Why. general you can't af- ford to let that matter go at that rate Five thousand dollars would be cheap for them"

Arrangements are being made for the usual New Years reception at the White House, notwithstanding the fact that the renovation will not be entirely completed for some time. In fact, General Bingham, who has the matter in charge, when seen to-day said that in his judgment the improvements would not be entirely completed until after Easter. This, however, will not affect the usual White House hospital ity. Mrs Roosevelt has already held several receptions and afternoon teas, and one of the formal state dinners has been given. An evidence of the gayety of the present social season is furnished by the fact that two young society men who desired to return the many favors extended to them deter mined to give dinners followed by dances. They were unable to discover but one date not already occupied and so compromised, one giving a dinner followed by a dance which lasted until midnight and the other a cotillion on the same evening which began at 12 D. m. and lasted until ''the wee sma'' hours.'' One of the hosts was Lieuten- ant Robert Sterling Clark, on General Corbin's staff, and the other was Edwin
 Morgan, secretary to Third Assistant Secretary of State Pierce.

Notwithstanding the widely heraldea success of the Marconi wireless tel egraphy experiments. the experts or the army and navy are still skeptlcal of the practical utility of the new sys- tenn. They intimate that MT Marconl spent a month trying to send the same message to England and was, under peculiarly atmospheric conditions finally successful. General Greedy when seen on the subject, said: Ihe mere transmission of single message does not mean that working system has been found. We have never doubted the transmission of a message over the ocean. It is the real working system that remains to be discovered' and this sending of a message does not mean that that system has been found.''

Application of Physical Chemistry of
 Life.
 Rrather more than a century ago, queer Quaker John Dalton, intensely interested in the variations of the weather, the rainfall, and the like, got to wondering what became of the wafer evaporating out of a pail. Into the air 1t goes, beyond doubt, to return as rain, but it must go up in a form so fine that the ordinary attraction of |gravity is overcome. So Dalton was led to his famous conception of atoms, forms of matter so minute as to be far beyond the powers of the finest microscope. This conception, now uni Iversally applied, has given us mar vicious insight into the constitution of the material world. It has revealed the structure and makeup of the food we eat, the things we drink, the air we breathe. But not less has it hinted of the things we ourselves are made of heart, brain, muscle, bones. Physiol- Ogists, or, as we are coming to say nowadays, biologists, have been strangely shy of the revelations of the chemists test tube. Of the simple Jaws of chemical union they are for the most part profoundly ignorant Meanwhile, in the last quarter of a century there has been growing up, chiefly in Germany, a new science, called physical chemistry, which bids fair to rob matter of it's most ultimate secrets. And by definition, life as well. For the stuff that we are made of is all to be found in the earth and air about us. It is not different. nor unique. The most distinctive work of Professor Jacques Loeb, now of the university of Chicago, has lain in the application of the new physical chem Iistry to tile problems of life. It would be absurb to say that he has done 1t all; there have been a host of others, but he has been in tbS front line, an innoyator and pioneer. Some of the things he has done have been start Hing, but their chief value so far lies in the fact that he has opened up new paths, made our horizon wider He ranks today as one of the three or four greatest biologists living. Professor Loeb's chief work has been in America He is naturalized American citizen, and has an American wife. But he had done many notable things before he came to this country, eleven years ago. He is German born, and received his early training in the German uni versailles. He made his name in his work on the so-called trophisms-that is, very crudely, showing why a cater pillar crawls up a tree to the fresh buds, why a fly lays it's eggs on fat and not in lean meat, and so on. Thanks to him chiefly, the mysterious thing we were about to call instinct has been reduced to the play of simple mechanical forces.-Harper's Weekly

The feat that the whole country is, even in the midst of the holiday sea- son, taking the most lively interest in
 the Venezuelan situation, is a matter of surprise to most public men. This widespread interest is evidenced by the great number of telegrams which are being received by the president ana members of his cabinet apropos of the leading phase of the Venezuelan
 question as it stands to-day. Shall the president accept the position of arbitrator? There is wide differ ence of opinion on the subject, not only among the public but among the administration officials. More than one cabinet member and many sena- tors have urged Mir Roosevelt not to accept the proposition made by Ger many and Great Britain, but evidently emanating from the court of Berlin. From outside of Washington the ex- pressions of opinion may be divided into two classes Men whose opinion should carry weight, warm friends of the president and men of prominence in their communities see, or believe they see, dynamite in acceptance. l The less thoughtful but none the less enthusiastic admirers of Mr Roosevelt urge him to accept.

 retaries Hay and Root are most en- iphatic in their protests. Secretaries Shaw and Wilson and Postmaster General Payne advocate acceptance. Where Mir Knox stands it has been impossible to learn and NIr Moody is out of the city. The arguments Iagainst acceptance are that Germany desires to put the president in a posi- Ition where he will have to. commit himself to the Justice of the claims of the powers and practically render judgment in their favor.
