AN TUSCALOOSA GIRLS WORK.

The Central Christian Advocate of
Oct. z, has the following relating to
the work of Miss Kate Ogborn, a
Methodist missionary at Nan Chang,
China, and formerly of this city:
"The ability, energy and versatil-
ity shown by our young women mis-
sionaries are making an impression
on the better class of Chinese. Miss
Kate Ogborn, Of Nan Chang, has dur
ing the past year planned the Bald
win Memorial, a school for girls in
that city, and superintendent its erec-
ton. A great many people came in
to see the structure and the woman
who could do such work. It is con-
sidered by the people of China most
remarkable thing that woman could
plan such a building, and still more
remarkable to superintend its erec-
ton. Miss Ogborn has established
herself in the hearts of the Nan
Chang people. Among her visitors
were two magistrates. One OF them
said that he and another official had
been appointed by the governor to
build school large enough for three
hundred boys, and he wished his cor.
league to see TINS building. He
came the next day and asked Miss
Ogborn If she would come and look
at land they had purchased for their
enterprise and consult about plans
for the building. In this interview the
utmost respect was paid to Miss Og,
born and her companions. After the
elaborate ceremonies attending the
tea drinking and partaking of other
refreshments were over, they were
taken out to see the grounds. In al
the conversation the Chinese officials
seemed to consider it privilege to
consult with Miss ogborn."
Miss Ogborn is well known in this
county, and many of her friends will
rejoice over her success in her ap-
pointed, but chosen work.

STATEHOOD TALK.
Hon, Neil. B. Field Gives Some Good
Pointers.
FAVORS CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

Hon. NELL B. Field, one Of Albuquer
que's most prominent attorneys, who
was at Washington on important Legal
matters before the United States SUI
preme court, returned to the city on
the delayed limited yesterday after.
noon.
Mr.. Field was sect at his well APP
pointed law Offices this morning. and
on statehood matters he spoke as fol
lows:
Encouragement of the idea that
joint statehood would be acceptable
to the people of New Mexico and Ari-
iona, in my opinion" said Mr.. Field,
destroyed any chance which the ON
nibus statehood bill ever had of pass
age.
IF the people of the three terri
tories earnestly desire statehood and
are willing to sink all political and per-
sonal differences until statehood is &C
complished, | believe it will be possible
to secure statehood at the next session
of congress.
81 would like to see the territorial
legislature provide for the assembling
of a constitutional convention and the
adoption of a constitution for New
Mexico to be submitted to the next
congress after ratification by the peo-
pie, provisions for the election of state
officers to be left to congress in the
enabling act.
Such action, | believe, would enor-
mously advance the chance of success
in the next congress, as ii would dem
onstrate our ability to formulate and
ratify a constitution equal to the on
stitutions of the older states and would
remove the fear expressed by certain
senator's (if such a fear has been seri-
ously e~ntertained) that, if admitted,
the constitution of New Mexico was
liable to be so framed as to leave
openings for the control of the new
state by the Mormon church and by
influences equally chimerical.
New Mexico has been greatly in
jured, in my judgment, by the course
Of the debates in the senate and some
action should be taken to refute the
SANDERS and abuse which have been
heaped upon our people.
"A constitution, such as would be
under the circumstances sug-
would be. the best %refutation
which could be offered, and would have
tendency to create public sentiment
n u favor in quarters where we are
outlaws and barbarians."
