New Books.

ga Hero and Some Other Folk" by
; DIR. Quayle is one of those books
which it is impossible to put down
until one has read it. The charm of
the language, the originality Of view.
the ethical treatment of the high lights
of literature and human achievement,
; ali combine o render the book alb
sorbingly interesting. The hero Is
Jean Vatican. and the author assures
us in beginning that "a hero is not a
luxury but necessity" and that I'VE
can no more do without him than we
can do without the sky" He traces
civilization by the higher conception
OF heroism as exemplitied in literature.
In another essay, Some Words on
Loving Shaiss peare, he discusses the
dramas rather than the author. He
calls him the sublime poet of this
world and names Edmund Spt nser as
his great spiritual contemporary.
In two chapters the Romance of
American Geography, and American
Historians, he shows the common
tendency TO underestimate the near
anu eXaggerate The remote, and pays
ii glowing tribute to Bancroft, Pres
G., t.. Motley and Parkman.
Two essays, ''Tennyson the Dream
er.' and King Arthur" would make
even the cold hlooded reader love
TennysOD. The Drama of Job is a
wonderful analysis of a stormy piece
of literature which ends in laughter
and joy.

''The Discoveries and Explorers"
by Shaw makes clear the hardest part
of history for the beginner. The ac-
count of the exploration of America
seems hard for pupils to remember,
on account of it's remOteness, and the
foreign names of the participants in
the history OF that interesting period
OF the world. shaw treats it all as a
human romance, and this little book
OF his, holds he interest of the pupil
from beginning to end. 1t is more
like n volume of short stories than
history and ought to be in the hands
OF all beginners lbs a preparati Gu fol

DlSTILLING Of BRANDY.
F father Coudert, Of BernaIillo, Tells
History ola Bottle Of Brandy.
MAKING OF CHAMPAGNE.

Rev. Father Coudert, of Bernalillo,
B~ernalillo county, writes Captain Solo
mon Spiegelberg, of Santa Fe, as fol-
lows:
II find in The Citizen of Albuquerque
a quotation from the Santa .Fe Daily
New Mexican, which interested me
very much and | clipped it wishing to
keep it. II says: Solomon Spiegel-

took il with me to Santa Fe in 1863
and bottled ii after a trip to California
in 1864. The brandy was pure and was
distilled in an old copper still which
has not been in use for over twenty
years. 1t was pure excepting a few
bits of cummin, which gave 1t a bitter
aromatic, astringent taste, very agree
able and a good stomachic. The indus
try of making brandy in the Rio
Grande valley has not gone out of ex-
istence. | could furnish you with 100
gallons of the same kind in packages

al account of my experience in that in

SANTA ROSA FIRE.
The mushroom Town" Suffers Serious
Loss Bv Fire.

A special telegram sent to the Den
yer News, under date of last Friday,
April 4. gives these facts about a fire
which ragged at Santa Rosa that night:
Santa Rosa was in flames at 8
o'clock tonight. The fire started in the
Shane building at this place, and in a
few minutes almost the entire town
was in flames. From the Shane build
ing the fire spread to the right, to the
Baca meat market and the barber
shop, thence to the Coleman & Walsh
saloon building. Both of these build
ings were entirely destroyed.
In the east the fire spread to the
Peterson saloon and restaurant, then
to the Clanrish general merchandise
store and postofice.
On account of the scarcity Of water
it was almost impossible to check the
flames. The fire spread to the Mar
shall warehouse. then to the Gillispie
place on the left of the Gillispie build
ing, several small buildings and tents
which burned up.
The last building to burn was a sa-
loon owned by Mexicans. The men
succeeded in checking the fire by going
down the street and tearing down and
dragging the buildings away, also the
stores was stripped of the goods be-
fore the fire reached them and those
which were not burned were stolen by
the Mexicans. G.. l.. Marsh is the
heaviest loser, his stock of merchant
Use was valued at 100000 with very
little insurance.
The entire loss will reach $40, 900.
Tie fire is supposed to have been the
work of thieves. Although there was
a large force of men at work for the
merchandise firms, no m was hurt.
If the wind has raised during the pro-
gress of the fire, not a building in
Santa Rosa would have been left. The
fire will bring the entire town to the
new town.

roborated by similar facts from per-
sonal experiences. The audience was
in hearty sympathy with the speaker.

Mr. William N. DOugaI and others re-
Gently called the attention OF the District
Commissioners 20 the condition Of the
trees planted on L street northwest. be
tween Valley and Thirty-hrst Streets. The
compliments allege that these trees are
without exception "knotty. guarled. and
crooked" They invite comparison be-
tween these trees ana those planted about
two years ago on L Street, between Thir-
ty-hfth and Thirty-sixth Streets. which
are straight aud free from defects The
complainants say that the condition OF
the trees in front OF their homes indl-
cate the .Ieavings OF the nursery"
Mr. Trutman Lanham, Superintendent
Of Parking has reported on the matter
complained OF. and states that the trees
last planted are Norway naples. and that
popularity of their earlier growth is
that they are crooked and kuOtty as de-
scribed. but that after a few years
growth they become straight and attraC-
tive trees. He states that those planted
were Of good stock and as good as the
nursery would afford
The other trees referred to. he said are
sugar naples. which grow straight from
the earliest years.
Mr. Ianham recommends that no
changes be ne ie in the trees planted.
