FIREMAN'S TOURNEY.
Expected That Teams from Principal
Cities Of Territory Will Contest
for the Purses.

| A team of Is firemen has been organ
lied and is practicing daily to get in
shape to take care of the laurels of the
Santa Fe fire department at the Terri
| torial tournament which will be held in
this city September 2-5 inclusive. 1t is
expected to have contest teams from
all the principal places in the Terri
tory at this tournament and the team
that takes the first place will have-to
be up and doing from now till the tour
nament is held. The Santa Fe firemen
are going to be in shape to show the
visitors what is called "quick and eff
cient work"
Efforts are being made to have the
Ell Paso excursion run into Santa Fe
on the second day of the tournament,
making the fremen's tournament part
of the attractions to induce Pass City
people to visit the Capital City at that
time.
The finance committee appointed by
the firemen will visit the business men
of the city in a short time for the pur-
pose of taking up subscription for
funds to carry the projects Of the tour
nament out to successful conclusions,
and pay the expenses incidental there
to. 1t is thought that among other at
some Of the principal supply houses for
firemen's goods from Denver and east
ern cities, and especially is it desired
that one of the late pattern gasoline
fire engines be exhibited. While it is
not yet certain that this will be done.
there is every reason to think it will,
and this will be one Of the strong at
fractions to the firemen and fire-fight-
ing organizations all over the Terri
tory.
Next week the posters and h3nlbills |
advertising the tournament will be got
ten out and distributed all over the
Territory, giving details of the Terri
torial tournament, and advertising the
excursion rates to Santa Fe. 1t is also
very probable that A. NJ. Dettlebach,
secretary of the Territorial association,
will go on the road for couple Of
weeks to create enthusiasm among the
firemen of New Mexico At present Mr.. |
Dettlebac1l is carrying on an extensive
with those who are in
terested in making the occasion a sue
cess, and is very highly pleased with
the results so far.
An united effort on the part Of the
people of Santa Fe will make this tour
one to be long remembered, and
every one should cheerfully do his part
toward this end.

tended bride, whom he had left on the
porch, heard him groan. As she fastened
to him the visitors rode away rapidly.
Freeman died without revealing tho iden-
tity Of his slayery.

Fish, who is visiting st. Louis with her
husband and a party of friends, talked
to a reporter at the Southern Hotel to-day

to foreign noblernen. Speaking of dress,
she said:
Mrs. Roosevelt, the wife OF the Pres-
dent, it is said dresses on $500 year. and
she looks IT,"
Continuing, Mrs. Fish said:

Presidents wife. | should not like to have
to eat with negroes. do not believe in
equality.
1T would never do We cannot mix
with the negro at all, and negro equality
will never come about. There will always
be classes in this country. We are coming
more and more to have an aristocracy and
a common people. l do not believe in being
too democratic"
Mrs. Fish was asked about statement
alleged to have been made by her recently
concerning the decline of Newport. She
said Newport is not declining
True, it is being invaded by vulgar and
newly rich people of the parvenuclass who
form rather common circle, but the highe
classes are still there in greater numbers
than ever.
Newport is just now paying too much
attention to foreign lords. By marrying
European noblemen, American girls are
laying themselves liable to the ridicule OF
the whole world.
the marriage OF Miss Goeet to the Duke
of Roxburgheis the latest piece OF this sort
OF folly. They paid down $1,000 900 to
do It.
