MISS CLAUDE ALBRIGHT.
Appeared Last Night at Colombo Hal
Before Large Audience.
A GRAND CONCERT.

The attraction at the Colombo hall
last night was Miss Claude Albright,
and the concert she gave, assisted by
Prof. John Douglas Walker and Ed
ward f. Thomas, was exquisitely fine
and pronounced by critics the best
ever given in this city.
Everybody wanted to hear and see
the Albuquerque singer, who for the
past four years took lessons from some
of the great masters of the old coun-
try, and when the curtain was raised
for the first number on the program
it seemed that everybody in Albuquer-
que was present, for the big hall was
crowded and quite a number were no
ticed standing in the rear of the hall.
1t was indeed a gathering of the
music-loving people of the city, and
those who did not attend, or rather
could not secure a seat and went away
grumbling to themselves. missed a
grand vocal and musical treat.
Edward F. Thomas opened the pro-
gram by singing robin Hood" and in
the second part sang Gypsy Jan" He
has a fine bass voice of unusual depth
and richness, and his efforts last night
were heartily appreciated by the audi
ence, who cheered him to such an ex-
tent that on each occasion he had to
respond to an encore.
Prof. John Douglas Walker. who was
recently elected director Of the school
of music of the New Mexico Uniyer-
sity, appeared solely in several pieces,
and demonstrated a powerful tenor
voice, very expressive and faultlessly
trained.
When Miss Claude appeared on the
stage to render her first number on the
program, hearty cheering, generously
given, greeted the young lady. She

that the president had disapproved the
proceedings and findings in the case of
Capt. James A. Ryan, of the Fifteenth
cavalry, who was tried by general
court martial at Manila on the charge
of conduct to prejudice good order and
military discipline. There were two
specifications under the charge. The
first alleged that Captain Ryan, when
commanding detachment of troops at
JimineZ, Mindanoa, and having in his
charge as prisoner Uvaldi Abing, the
presidente of the Pueblo of Jiminez,
administered the water cure to him for
the purpose of extorting information.
The second alleged that Captain Ryan
i'll treated Luis Girneno, vice presi-
dente of the Pueblo of Jiminez, by
holding his head in busket of water.
The record finds that Captain Ryan
pleaded mot guilty. The court record
finds him mot guilty" of the first spec
0cation, guilty" on second specifica-
ton and attaching no criminality
thereto. The court therefore acquitted
Ryan.
The record of the proceedings hav-
ing been submitted to the president.

POLICE COURT.
Batch Of Tough Customers Before
Justice Crawford This Morning.
Ex-cONvlCT BROWN.

William Hough was found resting in
sidedoor sleeper in the local yards
last night by Depot Master Barton.
officer Barton thought that Hough
might get out of town and consequent
ly conducted his nibs to the city bas-
tile. Judge Crawford thought that
Hough told a straight story and he
went free.
Frank Thomas has been grating the
town with chair wiring scene. The
judge sized him up as a good worker
and put him on the streets for ten
days.
The way that Albert Trackman
broke into jail for sixty days was dead
easy. Trackman stole a gun from Ed
die Miller and sold it for $1.25. He has
been a regular boarder at the county
Jail for a number of years.
The ex-territorial convict, It. +.
Brown, who threatened to do up the
superintendent of the penitentiary and
all other officials, appeared before
Judge Crawford yesterday morning to
answer to the charge, and was dis
charged on promise to leave town, is
again in the tolls of the law. He will
do sixty days in the county Jail, being
taken over to the bastile last night by
Deputy Sheriff Jim Smith. Brown,
when he resided in this city a few
years ago, was a driver for the Ger
rillos Coal company. He is a loud
mouthed individual, and would like to
pose as a martyr of some kind, but
usually gets himself full of booze be-
fore he makes an impression. He is
evidently trying to get back into the
penitentiary, and probably would like
to serve another sentence clad in the
stripes.

driven by the house were discernible
and the pursuers followed them. The
second morning about 4 o'clock they
met Wallace and the girl in vehicle
driving toward her home. Wallace
surrendered himself and the girl, and
was locked up.
The young woman said that about l
o'clock in the morning Wallace en-
tered her room and awakening her,
forced ner at the point of a murderous
looking six-shooter to dress and go
with him. She complied and he drove
away with her. They continued their
journey, which seemed to her to be
aimless, as they appeared to simply
ramble about in a wild country un-
marked by wagon roads or trails. He
kept his six-shooter handy and kept
begging her to promise to marry him.
She would not consent, so after driv-
ing until o'clock the second morning
he remarked that If she wouldn't mar
ry him at all he had as well take her
back home. They were on their re-
turn and were in about fifteen miles of
Springer when met by the father and
posse of neighbors.
The girl says Wallace treated her
decently, never attempting to do her
any violence. but pleading with her to
promise to become his wife and warn
ing her not to make any outcry or at
tempt to escape. But for the girls
statement, Mr.. Good believes the faith
Wallace in short order. He was still
in limbo when Mr.. Good left that sec
tion, but will probably be released and
ordered to leave the country.

English languages. and her sweet con-
tralto voice was never in better tune
than last night, she proving to her
many home friends that her training
and cultivation of the voice had not
been neglected during her four years
absence in foreign country.
"The Mariners" sang by the three,
was faultlessly produced, and enthus-
iastically cheered. 1t was a song that
a majority of those present under
stood. and the prolonged cheering
clearly evidenced the fact that such a
song was highly appreciated.
Calm as the Night" was sung as a
duet by Miss Albright and Prof. Wal
ker, while the gifted young lady closed
the delightful concert by rendering the
tambourine song, from Carmen, which
was well received and generously ap-
plauded.
Mrs. John Douglas Walker accom-
panied on the piano, and Professor Di
Mauro on the violin.
It Is understood that Miss Albright.
accompanied by her mother, will leave
for the east one day next week.

complete surprise TO Mrs. Whitson.

fused it, This year the corps has
plenty of money and she accepted the
present gracefully.

new GOLD DISCOVERY.
The Pscos River Bluffs, Near Santa
Rosa, Full Of Wealth.
ASSAYS sll Per TON.

Santa Rosa and vicinity are intense
ly interested in a gold discovery of
such magnitude that, should the imme-
diate future developments bear out the
tests and assays already made, the
bluffs of the Pecos river in Guadalupe
county will he swarming with gold
hunters in another month, says the
Las Vegas Record.
An immense body, or ledge, of rock,
carrying gold, copper and silver values
aggregating over $11 per ton, has been
uncovered within FIVE miles of Santa
Rosa and less than mile from the
Pecos river. -
This find is in the recent sand stone,
probably of the mesozoic age. and un-
derlies vast region along the Pecos
river.
The history of the find, briefly told,
is this: twenty-five years ago the Mex
ican ranchers in this section under
took to build dam across the Pecos
for irrigation purposes. One of the
workmen on the dam, in handling the
rocks, found several small grains OF
gold in the broken fragments. The
finding of the gold was not mentioned
until after the dam was completed,
when an unsuccessful search was
made for the place from whence it
came. Gradually, as in all such cases,
the story leaked out, and during the
years that followed several spasmodic
searches were made to locate the
ledge, but without apparent success.
When the Rock Island construction
gangs were approaching the Pecos
bluffs, one. of the old-time natives of
the Pecos valley, Leonias Chavez by
name, found employment with them
under Foreman Thomas Hinsley.
Chavez knew of the gold find and had
for years kept up the search for the
lost lead. He told Hinsley the story
and also told of the finding of ledge
which showed some kind of mineral.
Hinsley was interested. He and his
friend Lynch, assisted by Chavez, did
considerable prospecting. Recently
samples of the Mexican's find were
sent to two reputable assayers. The
returns showed gold, $50; copper,
S2.65, and silver, S5 cents. The ore as
sayed was part of blanket" ledge
ten feet thick and extending horizon
tally no one knows how far, but prob
abaly for miles, as the same ledge
crops out along the bluffs for that dis
tance.
A company has been formed, con-
sisting of ]. II. Colin, assistant super
intendent; w. II. Brenton, civil en-
gineer; c. w. Jones, trainmaster;
Thomas Hinsley, foreman; John
Lyncn, yardmaster, all of the Rock
Island, and c. X. Jones and Joseph
Reed, local business men, for the pur-
pose of developing the properties,
which consist of eight claims. A force
of men is now on the ground driving
tunnel and doing assessment and de-
yelopment work. AS soon as the full
extent and character of the ore can be
determined, and suitable progress Sc
lected, a mill will be erected. A large
body of land along the Pecos, adjoin-
ing the company's properties, has been
purchased for a mill site and other
In the mean time prospect
ing parties are quietly being outfitted
and are scattering along the bluffs
north and south of Santa Rosa, and
new discoveries will undoubtedly fol-
low.

Next Thursday the Douglas County De-
mocracy will have someidoings over at its
comfortable rooms on South Fifteenth street.
That is what the committee on entertain
ment reported at the regular meeting OF
the organization last night. The program.
while containing many interesting features,
will not be SO long that those living in the
suburbs will be obliged to miss the last
car to hear it ali. And there will be other
things which go to make the sort Of an
evenings pleasure that has made the or
ganization famous as an entertainer
World Herald.
On behalf of the uninitiated The Bee
insists that the ''doings" of our friends
the Douglas County Democracy be item
lied on the program.
II there is to be anything christened
besides a grand piano, the members
ought to know of it in advance so as to
make suitable preparations.
If anything is to be opened besides "a
fine old bottle of Bordeaux" time should
be given to have the big bills broken
into small change.
II the interesting features include
feeding the m~enagerie, to say nothing
Of the kitty, the guests should be warned
against partaking Of their meals at
home before starting.
The announcement, too, that those liv-
ing in the suburbs will have no excuse
for missing the last car is a gratuitous
insult that calls for a vigorous remon.

cratic club possess when it deprives its
members Of this priceless boon?

A HA1R-sPLlTTING coNrEyrroN.

AS champion of former State Treas
urer Meserve, former Attorney General
Smyth has devised a unique line of de-
Tense. Instead of ~controverting the
charge that the populist state treasurer
has been guilty of farming out public
money for private gain, he sets up the
plea that trust funds in the custody Of
a state officer can be diverted to private
uses without laying the officer liable to
criminal prosecution.
Without reference to the pending case
we think we have the right to say that
IL the law is as Mr.. Smyth constructs 1t
the people Of Nebraska are helpless to
protect themselves against the fragrant
abuses that In the past have too often
scandalized our state. For some reason
or other the idea has been thoroughly
ingrained In the popular mind that pub
lie money belongs to the public, and
that any profits accrhing from its use
is just as much public money as the
sums contributed put Of the taxpayers
pockets.
While lawyers are so prone to indulge
in hair-splitting to protect clients the
intention of the trainers Of the consti-
tuition for Nebraska is certainly plain.
Section "a Of article vi of the constltu-
ton, after fixing the salaries Of the
various state officers, including the treas
urer, continues:
After the adoption Of this constitution
they shall not receive to their own use
any fees, costs, interests upon public
moneys in their hands, or under their con-
troll, perquisites OF ONCE or other compen-
Bation, and all fees that may hereafter be
payable by law for services performed by
an officer provided for In this article Of
the constitution shall be paid In advance
into the state treasury.
II the constitution makers had in
tended that the salary of the treasurer
was to be regarded simply as a retainer,
while he was to rake in as much addi-
tional as possible by farming out the
funds in his custody. why should they
have added this limitation? On the con-
trary, it is IN historical fact that this
part of the constitution was framed for
the very object. among other things, to
put an effectual stop to efforts Of state
officers to augment their salaries by
questionable methods under the pre-
tense that the pay provided by law was
inadequate. If one officer can get
around this constitutional bar to in
creased salary by legal clubbing, all
ought to'be able to do the same. with a
general scramble to see who can get
ahead Of the other.
II the plainest provisions of the con-
stitution are meaningless we may well
ponder whether It is worth while hay
ing a constitution at all.
