APPEAL FOR STATEHOOD.
PRESIDENT PLEASED WITH TkBltaUY.

The desire of our remaining terri
tories TO be admitted into the Union
as states has been frequently and
forcibly expressed In the columns of
other ways. but no method of call.
ing attention to statehood claims has
been more picturesque. or. as IL may
prove. more effective. than the ono
employed the other day by the citizens
of Albuquerque. ~ NJ. President
Roosevelt was in that city on his tour
TO the Pacific coast. and as a presi.
dent Is very important factor in the
enactment OF an admission law. a
shrewd device was escorted to in or
der to enlist his interest in such a
measure in New Mexico's behalf
When the president mounted tho
speakers stand and looked smilingly
c. r the great crowd that had assem-.
bled to do him honor. his. eyes could
not fail to take in beautiful and i'm.
pressive little tableau in the back
ground Under the dome Of a finely
decorated pavilion, and within an in.
closure. were ranged forty-five OF the
prettiest little girls of the town,
dressed in pure white, each with a
star held by circlet on her fore.
head. and ca N hearing a banneret on
which was inscribed the name of one
of the states. This bevy of youthful
beauties represented the statas al
ready in the Union. In front OF them
and near the gateway stood a stalwart
man. wearing tall white hat. display.
ing a good deal of the American flag
in his costume and representing the
guardian of the nation. Uncle Sam.
In his extended right hand he held a
circlet on which also glittered a star.
Outside of the partly opened gate
and at the top Of a flight of steps
which she had Just assembled appeared
one more white-Iobed fairy. no less a
vision of grace and comliness than
was each of the others. She wore no
star and bore no banneret. but on a
sash suspended from her shoulders
were seen the words New Mexico"
Her attitude was one of appeal She
was asking for admittance TO the
charmed Enclosure and was reaching
forth her hand as II to take the dia.
dem proffered by Uncle Sam. This
representative of the territory was
Miss Helen Butman, daughter Of one
of the leading residents OF Albuquer
que. and most winsome and intelli-
gent child.
The significant and charming scene
aroused the enthusiasm of the look
ers-on TO a hight degree. President
Roosevelt, whose fondness for chill
dren is proverbial, was delighted with
the artistic tableau, and the New Mex
leans hope that he has taken deeply
to heart the meaning II conveyed and

Still Living.

With a broken neck Roy Samp-

spinal cord was not injured, and that
consequently his neck was 0 BAD

The boy was for two years unable

Since his visit here he has sustain

A WIRELESS EPoRT

The first regular daily newspaper
in the world depending entirely on
wireless telegraphy for its general
news service was launched March
25th at Avalon, Catalina island,
twenty-five miles out in the Pacific
ocean.
The Pacific wireless telegraph com
pany has been doing a commercial
business from the island successful
ly for a number of weeks past, num-
erous dispatches being sent daily to
and from the island. Previously the
only method of communication was
by mail.
The new paper is called The Wire
less. and is published under the aus
pices of the Los Angeles Times, from
the Office Of which an epitome OF the
news will be telegraphed each morn
ing. The first.issue was but a small
four-page sheet, but the demand for
the paper and for advertising space
has been SO great hat it will be ell
larged.
Heretofore, the news of the world
has no reached the island until the
arrival of q steamer at l p. m. The
system of the Pacific wireless tele-
graph company is entirely distinct
and different from the Marconi sys'

Mr.. Morgan is very anxious to OBJ

Commenting upon this request, a
Chicago paper says that on $1,000. 600

total amount of duty would be not
less than S.. o 200 and might indeed
exceed the purchase price OF the
