THE sELF-MADE MAN.
There Are Some Affections
He Escapes.

Now and then We encounter natural
born ice-man, says Puck.
Some men always seem so very new, and
OF hers so very parvenu-
The self made man is often very good
sort-when he's finished.
He rarely has the gout, but he sometimes
suffers from over exertion of the egotis1n.
Somehow, the ears OF the self-made man
often have the look of having been stolen
from a grab-bag.
The self-made man escaped one great afflic-
ton. He didn't have baccalaureate sermon
preached at him.
And, oh! if he could only remember that
there are always others just as insignif-
cant as himself.
We occasionally see an architect of his
own fortune VINO seems to have mislaid the
blueprint when he was about halfway
through.

"HON. JOHN GRlGSBY."
Rendered Last Night at Colombo Hall
by the NeiII COMPANY,

Albuquerque theater goers were
treated to the best dramatic perform
ance of the season in the Hon. John
Grigsby" by he Neill company at Co
lombo hall last night. A well pleased
audience is the best praise a company
can receive and there is no doubt as
to the complete enjoyment of the large
audience last night.
The delightful performance OF James
Neill and his we'll organized company
showed strength of character and cle,-
erness that marked them as artists in
their line. Mr.. Neill's peculiar nature
was well adopted to the character he
assumed, that OF an old Illinois lawyer,
prompted to act according to his con-
victions.
The play presented to the audience
a pretty picture of the conditions of
the state of Illinois in the year of 1850,
that exciting period previous to the
war. Hon. John Grigsby, a quiet and
honest lawyer, who in trying to live
up to his convictions, aroused the en-.
nifty of the whole community in TAX

New England school teacher, who by
teaching the blacks had caused an up
rising against her. Not alone did the
papers attack her character, but a

Miss Edythe Chapman. as Meg Ron
aids. the school mistress. possessed a
sweet and pleasing personality. In
fact all the ladies with the company
were unusually pleasing in their ap-
pearance.
The humorous role of Coke" Grigs-
by's clerk. was done in a most laugh
able manner.
Frank McVicars, as James Ogden
Grlgsby's enemy, proved himself a
strong actor.
Donald Bowles. as Grigsby's son
Jack" was a favorite with the ladies'
by reason of his attractiveness and
natural poses.
The company left this morning for
Las Vegas. From there they jump to
Cincinnati, where an engagement will
be commenced March >.
Everyone was well pleased with the
performance here and the company
was greeted With a well filed house.
