difficulty In being allowed 10 play IT,
as there was a curious old custom IN
Vienna which permitted the players IN
the orchestra TO be the judges Of what

OF the Vienna Orchestra-told him that
he could not arrange 10 have the con-
certo performed unless the orchestra
agreed. Thereupon Brodsky played the
Tchaikovsky concerto to the band. who
said Yes, it's an very fine and YOU

else but q few days before the con
cert he went to Richter and said that

Memoria Day Proclamation.

Executive Office. Santa Fe, N. NJ, May
10, 1903.
Again the day approaches which a
beautiful custom devotes to h~onoring
the memory of the departed heroes OF
the republic, who have given up their
lives that the country might live, and
by their deaths have shed such lustre
upon the glorious history of our ma
ton.
While on that day we should mourn
for the dead, we must also remember
the living who are serving their cQun-
Try by land and sea and also the sur.
yivors of a past generation who still
tarry among us, and endeavor to make
life more easy for them in their de-
Ginning years, that they may live long
to enjoy the blessings of that country
they helped to save.
Now, therefore. |, Miguel A. Otero,
governor of the territory of New Mex
leo, do recommend that upon Satur.
day, the thirtieth day of May, A. D..
1908, the people Of the territory re-
frain from all unnecessary labor, and
all public amusements and join with
the Grand Army of the Republic, and
other patriotic societies in a due and
proper observance of Memorial day
recalling the memory of the heroic
dead and recounting their valiant
deeds. Let us o. that day by song
and speech and sweet flowers give ex-
preston of our reverence and firati-
tude to those who gave their lives to
perpetuate the republic; TO acts Of re-
spect and care for those soldiers and
sailors who have survived the wars in
which they were engaged and in honor
of those who are now serving their
country as soldiers and sailors.
Done At the executive office this the
10Th day Of May, A. d. 1903.

of the territory of New Mexico.

Las Vegas Can Maintain the organiza'
tion and Erect a Suitable Building.

The intensely practical character OF
fhe Young Mems Christian associa-
zion appeals to men of business. IL
rnay easily be understood why cities,
and many OF them, with no greater
population than our own Las Vegas,
are erecting association buildings at a
cost OF many thousands Of dollars. In
this day, when capital il represented
by larger figures than the world ever
Before knew, we are learning the most
valuable lesson Of our national his
tDry. That more than dollars are
essential for capital In the assurance
of proft and security for successful
haIsiness Is being daily proven by the
action OF large mercantile firms and
corporations in their contributions TO
association work and their continuous
applications to the employment bu
OF the association for clerks not
only Ut business qualifications. but of
undoubted character. Character is a
capital producer, and the character
mat IS moulded at a gambling table

or in a disreputable resort does not
make capital for successful business,
and for this reason the keen-sighted
railroad corporation and business man
today turns to the nos practical
character-plants of our nation, the
Young Mems Christian association, in
seeking for that which means profit
to their business. Association work,
like mercy, blesses receiver and giver
alike. The history Of the benefits re-
ceiyed by men through the channels
of the association would fill volumes
If written.
Business men of Las Vegas. when
asked to contribute to the local asso-
citation building fund, should not look
upon the matter as a charity. but as
a business investment promising large
and sure returns.

committee realize that they have job
on their hands when they undertake the
task Of entertaining the visitors in the
lavish manner that the larger cities Of

with the help of the citizens much can
be done along this line and perhaps the

close of the two days session, firmly
convinced that Alma is not so small after
all. Other and larger cities were after
the convention last year at Holland, but
the Alma delegates won the day, and
now ii is up TO the people TO see that
their eulogies on the attractions Of our
village are substsntiated and our hospi-
tally proven. These delegates went be-
