We quoted Prof. Hall of a Western
university the other day as saying that
slang broadened and helped the small
child. keeping it from being tongue
bound. assisting it TO express ideas
and adding to its vocabulary. In that
sense, what slang is to the child the
fish story is TO the fisherman. Your
expert fisherman is never tongue
bound, except while fishing, and his
vocabulary is usually an extensive one.
especially as relates TO adjectives de-
scribing size. and how the biggest ones
got away. On the same principle that
Prof. Hall defends slang, the fish story
ought to be defended. And yet we see
that 1t is seriously proposed in Wis
consin to have passed by the Legisla-
ture law under which the fish story
as we know il will be impossible in
that state. Under the proposed
law every fisherman who catches a fish
weighing more than one pound will be
required to have it weighed and It's
weight recorded by a state officer ap-
pointed for that purpose, or by one of
his deputies; and failure TO comply
with this requirement will subject the
fisherman TO fine or imprisonment. The
officer weighing the fish will be re-
quired to furnish a certificate setting
forth the pounds and ounces thereof,
duly signed and officially sealed Thus
it will be seen that the Wisconsin fish
erman who tells his little tale will
have to produce his certificate, or
stand branded before his friends and
the world. 1t is a wrong law, and its
result would be an impoverishment of
the literature of the rod and reel.

Those Venezuela revolutionists claim
to be fighting in the name of liberty.
That what they really want is the
liberty to enrich themselves at the ex-
pense of the more orderly and law
abiding people is shown in their actions
at Barcelona. AS soon as they had
captured that town they began a riot
OF lawlessness, pillaging both public
and private houses and carrying away
whatever of value they could lay their
hands upon.

In Barbourville, Ky, the other day
a divided jury reached a verdict in a
novel manner. A handful of corn was
poured on table. 1t was agreed that
two jurymen, one for acquittal and
one for conviction, should take a grain
of corn in turn until the supply was
exhausted. The man who took the
last grain was to render the verdict.
The man for conviction got the last
grain. and a verdict of guilty was re-
turned. When the attorney for the
defendant heard this he asked for a
new trial, and got it.

Attorney S. Alexander had inn
portant professional business in

According to the new schedule,
which goes into effect tomorrow,
the southbound passenger train
will leave Socorro at 1880 a. m,
the northbound at 4:12 a. m.

recipient in neat and appropriate
terms. A double quartette by
Mesdames Griffith, Sleig Int,
Sayler, and Hilton, and Messrs.
Jos. E. Smith, Kittrell, Stans-
bury, and o. h. Smith was well
rendered, much appreciated, and
heartily encored.
The evenings exercises were
followed by the annual commence
ment ball, which is always look
cd forward to by the citizens of
Socorro as the chief social event
of the season. The ball Thurs
day night was fully up to the
standard. A great majority of
Socorro's lovers of dancing and
many invited guests from abroad
were present. The scene in the
large auditorium of the opera
house was beautiful and impress
sive. Flags and bunting hang
ing in graceful folds from above,
a profusion of floral decorations,
and inspiring strains of music
lent a beneficient influence which
was attested by the bright, hap
py faces of scores of people NOV
ing in the graceful mazes of the
dance. The excellent music fur
nished by Prof DiMauro's orches-
ira of Albuquerque lent addition
al eclat to the occasion and in
sured their receiving another
call to visit Socorro in the near
future.
Thus ends the most successful
year in the history of the School
of Mines, judged by numbers in
attendance and quality of work
done. The facilities for work
were greatly increased last sum-
mer by the proceeds of the sale
and lease of public lands donated
to the institution and by the
generosity of the saith General
Assembly. This increased rev.
enue has been expended to the
best possible advantage by the
present excellent board of trus-
tees, who have insisted upon a
conservative financial policy in
all matters pertaining to the
management of the affairs of the
institution. Too much can not
be said in commendation of thi:
policy. 1t is the expectation Of
the board still further greatly
to increase the facilities and
efficiency of the School of Mine;
during the coming year.

Honors We're Divided.

The result of Thursdays ball
games between the Santa Fe
Centrals and the School of Mines
team must have been satisfactory
to both sides in the conflict un-
less either team expected to win
both games. Honors were even.
At the morning game Thomas
and Parsons formed the battery
for the visitors and both did their
work well. Celso Chavez and
Roy Mcdonald played the same
parts for the Miners. Celso
twirled magnificently for four
innings and then seemed rather
to lose control of the sphere. Nc
Donald's catching was profession
al. AT the close of the game the
visitors had sent IS men across
the home plate and the Miners Z.
The afternoon game was a slug
giug match. The boys were tired
and the sun was hot. Charlie
Rhodes puzzled the Miners for a
while by his contortiOns in the
box but they soon were onto his
curves even as a jay bird is onto
those of June bug and then the
fun began. Hale and Wilson
handled the globe for the home
team in excellent style. The re-
suit of this game was a score of
21 to 20 in favor of the School of
Mines. There was a large as
semblage to witness both games.
Following is the score by in
nings:

Memorial Day Obserrnnees.

The memorial observances
yesterday were more generally
attended and more successful in
every way than any that had been
witnessed in Socorro before for
many years. The procession
formed promptly at 8 o'clock a.
m. and in the order announced.
Company H in full uniform pre-
sented fine military appearance
and marched like veterans. The
long line of pedestrians and car
riages moved from in front of
the armory on California street,
westward on Manzanares avenue
past the plaza and out Fischer
avenue. When Socorro cemetery
was reached there was a fervent
invocation by Rev. Jos. McCOn-
nell, followed by the address of
the day by Hon. A. A. Freeman.
This address has excited very
favorable comment and is pub
lished in full 9n another page for
the benefit of readers of THE

enough to hear Judge Freeman
deliver it in his eloquent and inn
pressive manner. All the cemete-
