Church Dedicated at RedIands.

Rev. Mr.. Harwood has just returned
from Redlands, Cal, where he went to
dedicate a church building. The dedi-
cation sermon was preached in Span
Ism by Rev. HarwoOd at 1880 a. m. on
Sunday; at $3.50 he dedicated the
church assisted by the pastor. William
Green, ID. d., and the pastors of nearly
all the evangelical churches of the
city. The house cost about 81, 500. The
pastor, DR.. Green, announced that
there was a debt of $240. This amount
was quickly raised with about $50 sur
plus, so says the pastor.
Mr.. Harwood calls this his forty
eighth dedication since he came to
New Mexico, including four schools
and n Union church. He says this
debt was raised the easiest Of any
place ne has ever been. He thinks
there are two reasons. First. the pa.
tience and perseverance of the efic-
lent pastor, and second the fact that
Redlands is a prohibition town, being
the first prohibition town in which he
has tried to raise money at a church
dedication.
Mr.. Harwood went Monday to Los
Angeles and called on several of the
Albuquerque friends now residing in
that city, among them being Rev. d. b.
Soothborrow and wife. 1t will be re-
membered they both resided here. his
wife, then Miss Ella Johnson, having
taught in the Boys Bible school three
years. He is doing a fine work in the

church. They have a beautiful girl
baby.

Trips girls industrial school in Los
Angeles. Several Albuquerqueans will
remember that Miss Trip resided
here a few years, being engaged in

Ever the American Girl.

I'VE may conquer the men of Amer
ica,' an observant British officer long
ago despairingly cried, but what can
we do with the women?'
That the revolutionary DANES fervid
patriotism has not departed from her
female descendants is proved by a true
tale of the late Spanish war, as related
by a Chicago traveller who returned
home last week.
The United States consul at the cap
ital of one of the smaller South Ameri-
can republics had been Joined by his
daughter, just out of a western state
university. The Spanish party in this
city was large, and in the spring of
1898 Ii became v~ociferous and %vitupera-
tive. The American consul became the
target of so much Spanish billIngsgate
whenever he appeared on the streets
that the authorities became alarmed
for his safety, and detailed four sol
diers to accompany him wherever he
went.
The feeling against the United States
ran so high that the president of the
republic sent a personal request to the
consul to keep himself as secluded as
possible. Being a good-humored and
peaceable man. the consul was about

Then up rose his daughter and told her
father that he should do nothing of the
kind. She knew he was not a coward.
and she was resolved that he should
not appear one. even to accommodate
all the Spaniards from Cuba to Cape
Horn.
So the consul and his daughter called
on the president socially that evening.

president renewed his suggestion. The
consul answered that, while he was

think there was any danger, and would
continue to go about his business as

The president again insisted that
there was danger of a most unpleasant
episode, n even limited that the on

Whereupon the president gave up
the problem, just as the British officer
did, and complimented his fair antag-

the incident. The consul went
about his business as usual. and vas
