AN UNUSUAL SUIT.
In the United States court at Albu-
querque, Postoffice Inspector c. L.
.Doran of Denver, has filed suit
against the Pullman Palace Car Com
pany for $1,000 damages. He alleges
that he got on Pullman sleeper at
Albuquerque and, in response to the
demand of the conductor for his trans
portation, gave him his commission.
The next morning he asked the con-
ductor to return it and was informed
that it had been given to the porter.
The porter said he had given it to
man who got off at Ration. 1t was
month before Doran recovered it and
in the meantime his financial loss was
great and his liability on his bond was
greater. In addition he was laid OFF
until he convinced the department that
he was not at fault. w. B. Childers is

RARE BOOKS RECEIVED.
Valuable Additions TO the Collection OF the
New Mexico Historical Society.

President L. B. Prince, of the His
torical Society of New Mexico, while
making a brief visit to New York. has
succeeded in purchasing some valuable
historical books for the library of the
society. The resources of the society
being limited it has never been con-
templated to attempt the collection Of
a general historical library, but to con-
fine it exclusively to works connected
with the history of this particular Sec.
ton of the country. A reference libra
ry of this kind will be of very great
value and should exist in Santa Fee
where those desiring access to such
documents naturally come. Very few
know how many literary people visit
Santa Fe every year, in order to OBJ.
tain material for books or magazine ar
ticles, and the calls at the historical
rooms for exact information are very
frequent. 1t will be remembered that
the late Doctor Elliott Coues spent
months here in his literary work and
within a few weeks a gentleman en-
gagged in very extensive historical la
bors has been here to ask the aid of
the historical society not only in his
preparation of his manuscript, but in
permitting$ the photographing of por-
traits and autographs which cannot be
procured elsewhere.
The most valuable of the newly ac-
quired books is the large quarto edition
of the Narrative of Cabesa de Baca.
translated by buckingham Smith.
There We're only 80 copies printed. at
the expense of William Riggs. the
Washington banker, for presentation to
libraries and friends, in 1887. This Is
exceedingly rare, only two other copies

and it is expected that a number will
be handed down here.
Lieutenant Governor John A. Lee
says the question of his resignation is
in the hands of Attorney General Crow
and that he will probably do as that
official recommends. Lee says, how.
ever, that he has reasons ror wishing
to retain his office. One of these, he
says is that he is a poor man and needs
the salary attached to the office.

Berlin, April 24.-The governments of
Prussia and of the Grand Duchy of
Mecklenburg have ec'ded to expel the
Mormon missionaries, of whom there
are 145 in Germany and 90 in Prussia,
on the ground that they are propagat-

will be allowed to settle up their person

SITE TALK
Old Infantry Building Lot on
Dorralc, Street. Finds Favor
With Many.

The matter OF the erection OF the new
Chamber OF Commerce building, which
was talked OF early in the summer Is
still hanging ire as the members have
not vet reached an agreement on site.
During the summer the chairman OF the
building committee. Col. H. Martin
Brown has been I'm Europe and but little
has been done. but now something
definite Will be hooked for very soon.
There is site on Dorrance street.
which meets with the approval OF many
and Is coed location that Is readily
available. Col Gross OF the Arm Of q
l.. and II. j. Gross has made the cham-
Der terms for the old infantry building
and this offer with an offer OF 100000 or
$4,000 is necessary in bonds, by the
same firm should guarantee a sufficient
building fund There is certainly need
fir better building on the location, and
such a structure as the chamber would
erect for It's home would undoubtedly add
much 10 this section.
The members are not unit by any
means in favoring this proposal as far
as can be learned for there are some who
will be greatly opposed 10 any removal
from Market square. but nevertheless
there are few who feel so sure that the
Dorrance street site will be ultimately
chosen that they are having plans map
ped out 10 ht their location.
Another subject which will probably
require some time TO decide Is the sort OF
a building TO be erected, for there are
come who are opposed TO having the
chamber conduct an office building
scheme, favoring comfortable quarters
for the chamber of commerce by Itself.
