ADDING TO THE BEAUTY.
Shade Trees and Vines TO be Plant
cd on the AIvarado Lawns.
ANOTHER CONTRACT FOR BtUEHER.

While it is generally conceded that
there is little lacking in the way of at.
tractiveness around the Alvarado, with
its unique and antique Spanish archi-
lecture, there is to be made an i'm.
provement in the way of natural decor
alton which will add greatly to the
beauty of the surroundings.
General Superintendent ID. E. Cain,
who passed through the city on his
way to San Marcial. returned this
morning and went east on the morning
train.
While in the city this morning he
let contract to Herman Blueher, the
old town gardener, to plant trees and
vines in the green lawns around the
hotel and in front of the curio. Mr..
Cain has sent to Pennsylvania for the
trees and vines, and as soon as they
arrive they will be arranged in a man
ner that will form a fitting contrast
with the surroundings and back
ground.
Many comments have been passed
upon the beauty of the velvet like
lawn at the Alvarado, which has no
equal in or around the city. The rapid
growth and visible life of the healthy
appearing grass shows what can be &C.
complished by irrigation. When the
trees, especially noted for their shade
and well appearing qualities, and the
many varieties of winding and climb,
ing vines, have been planted and de.
Veloped under the care, such as Mr.
Blueher is capable of, it will make a
wonderful improvement in the sur.
roundings.
1t is the belief of many people from
the far east that vegetation is almost
unknown in the arid southwest, but
they will be given a most pleasant sur.
prise when they step from the train
at Albuquerque and behold a well reg
ulated park of inviting shade trees and
soft velvet grass, biding defiance to
the hot burning face of Old Sol. This
adornment of natures art will form a

ElkS' MINSTRElS.
The Santa Fs Herd Acquitted Them
selves in Good Style.
A BIG CROWD ATTENDED.

1t was not necessary to tell the large
audience at Colombo hall last night
that the swell aggregation of black
faced comedians that adorned the
stage in a most elaborate manner with
their striking costumes of purple and
white, were Elks. The Jet black faces
brought out in sharp relief by pure
white wigs formed a striking contrast
with the unique Elk costumes.
That they were Elks in spirit as well
as in name was plainly shown in the
performance that followed the raising
of the curtain. Interlocutor George
Flimpson, and the end men who han
died the bones and tambos were witty
and came awful close to telling the
truth in their local hits, which caused
one continuous ripple Of laughter
throughout the highly pleased audi.
ence.
Sam Donkears, a healthy looking
black face appeared in several songs
His parody on Il Need the Money
which was localized to fit various peo-
PIE and places, was rich.
One of the most amusing numbers
on the program, especially on account
of its strong local touches, by alluding
to the politics and politicians of Ber-
nallllo county, was entitled T Guess
III Turn Over a Page" sang by Reske
Putnam
The favorite old coon song, Home
Made Chicken Pie" was sung by Sam
Donkears, chorus by. the full company
In the second part OF the program
was enacted musical comedy, which
told an amusing story of Penelope, the
popular cook, with her three admirers,
the policeman, soldier and milkman.
The untimely appearance of the mis-.
tress paced the admired and the ad-
mirers in peculiar position, which
caused hearty laughter.
The performance, which was In the
minds Of the audience a success, was
concluded by the Elks' march, a pleas
ing spectacle to the eye.
The Santa Fe Elks certainly furnish.

ROOSEVELT BADGES.
Citizens Will Express Their Ssnti-
msnt by Neat Appearing Emh|sms.
SEVERAL HUNDRED ORDERED.

Information regarding the decora-
tions of the homes and business
houses of the city, when President
Roosevelt and his party shall march
through our streets has been furnished
literally, but question which con-
Germs many a public spirited citizen is
what are we to wear in the way Of
badges to display our sentiments with
out having to make platform speech
about 1t. A man may decorate his
house with all the patriotic emblems
in the country, but it does not cause
swelling of the breast or fill him with
a feeling of over Importance as does
an emblem of striking colors or attrac
tive design worn above his heart in
full view Of everyone. But every citi-
zen of Albuquerque may rest at ease,
because the committee have ordered
about 5000 Roosevelt badges, which
will be distributed among those who
care to wear them. The emblem will
be a picture of the president bearing
the motto welcome to President
Roosevelt" and from this button pic
ture a small American flag will be at
tached. In all the badge forms a
very attractive emblem and will most
assuredly make a favorable impress
sion on our celebrated guest.

Time of Death.

Butler, Mo-, April 17.-Dr. James l..
Gartrell was hanged in the county jail
yard here today. About 1900 persons
witnessed the execution. Gartrell dis
played remarkable nerve, and said
that he had only one enemy that he
could not forgive, but would not men
tion his name. In March, 1901, d. B.
Donegan, gold miner from Gunnison
Colo, came here to provide himself
Oklahoma, where he intended to buy a
ranch. He met RI. James L. Gartreil
and the latters son, William. Ar
rangement was made that the three
should drive to Oklahoma together.
When about 100 miles from Kansas
City the party stopped to spend the
night in a deserted cabin, When the
younger Gartrell awoke he saw his
father had killed Donegan by splitting
his head with an axe. The young man
said to his father:
What did you kill him for, father?"
Because, son, we needed money, "

weeks later. Suspicion was directed
towards Gartrell, and upon investiga-

had sold the team of horses in the
neighborhood where the crime was
committed and father and son were
arrested. Dr. Gartrell later confessed
that he killed Donegan, entirely exon.
Grating his son, but insisted that he
did it in self defense. DR.. Gartrell was
the oldest man upon whom a death
sentence has ever been pronounced in
Missouri, 68 years old. He was six

wore long flowing white beard. At one

Weymouth, April 17.-Sir Thomas
Lipton's new challenger for the Amer
lea cup was dismasted in squall to-
day, shortly after leaving this harbor
preparatory to another trial spin with
Shamrock |. Her mast, as 1t fell over
the side, carried all of the crew and
gear and canvass overheard. One man
was drowned and several persons, in
cluding Sir Thomas, who was knocked
down a hatchway, were bruised or
otherwise injured. The man who was
drowned was a brother-in-law of Cap
tain Wringe. He was handing binoc-
ular glass to Sir Thomas at the time
he was swept overheard. So sudden
was the calamity that the yacht lay
wrecked and helpless before those on
board realized what had happened
Fortunately most of the tremendous
weight of gear fell clear of the deck,
as otherwise the disaster must have
been multiplied three-fold. AS 1t was
cnly one life was lost.
The hull of the Shamrock III was
not damaged. The mast when it went
overheard, was solid. 1nere was at
that time only one break, which was
about seven feet above deck. AS the
big spar with its weight of canvass
became heavier, owing to the water In
1t, the mast again buckled its head
going down until 1t rested on the bot
tom. 1t is believed that it will be com
paratively easy to repair the mast, but
the whole suit of canvas Is ruined
Sir Thomas had a narrow escape. He
was thrown down the hatchway with a
sailor and fell with such force as to
break the board flooring covering the

The Act of 1902, which placed the Court

Court Bailiff, having been declared by the
Court of Appeals to be unconstitutional,
