There are five large volumes and
over 2.000 illustrations. which are so
strikingly life-like and many of them
SO cunning that turning the leaves is
fascinating diversion, bringing

Miss AlcOtt's Little Women. Little

and makes one want to be good.
Perhaps the perusal of the chill

not come amiss.
Il is the great desire and aim Of
those in charge Of the purchase OF
books to put only good, pure reading
in the hands OF our young people
ana we have no immoral books. but
no two children are alike. The effect
Of books is a power in their lives, and
each needs what is best suited to the
development of the best traits and
talents. The librarians do their best
TO encourage each as seems best. but
have no authority and cannot know
children as the parents do So CO.
operation with parents Is desired and
interest therefrom appreciated
The two books on a card system,
now in vogue, is a great help in the
opportunity to distribute helpful
books
There is marked improvement in
the taste of young readers.
The little folks beseiged the library
last week for accounts Of Ulysses.

Two American Correspondents in Gus

Free Immediately.

Washington, April 4-Secretary Hay
has instructed by cable Ambassador
Mccormick at St. Petersburg and Min
lister Conger at Pekin to take immedi-
ate steps to secure the release of two
American correspondents now held by
Russians at New Chwang. News that
a dispatch boat had been released as
cabled by Associated Press last night
has not been officially brought to the
attention of the state department.
Secretary Hay acted upon advices
from two sources. Consul General
Fowler at Che Foo and the proprie-
tors of the Chicago Daily News.
1t is later reported that Correspond
ents Washburn and Little were arrest
ed at New Chwang at the harbor en-
trance on their dispatch boat and
their two Japanese servants thrown
into Jail and that the correspondents
escaped the same fate only by the en-
ergetic action of Miller, United States
consul there.

Court.

Washington, April 4-The case of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
VS.. Baird commonly known as the an
thracite coal case, was decided by the
Supreme Court of the United States
today in favor of the contentious of the
commission. The decision of the u.
S. Circuit Court for the southern divi
sion of New York being reversed.
This is the case instituted before the
commission by W. R. Hearst, who al
legged discrimination by railroad COM
panies which reached the anthracite
ccal mines of Pennsylvania. During
the hearing some of the witnesses re-
fused to produce certain contracts
bearing upon the business of the rail
road companies and coal mines, which
action was upheld by the Circuit Court
of New York. The U. S. Supreme
Court held that contracts should have
been supplied.

THE RAILROADS AND
THE CATTLE INTERESTS
The Former Are More ConciIiatory
and May Make Important Con.
cessions Before Lonq.

CeSSlOnS before Long.
Traffic officials of western railroads
are becoming alarmed over the agita-
tion among cattle raisers for lower
freight rates and the abolition of many
of the restrictions placed around live
stock shipments. At meeting of
freight agents of western roads at Chi
cago this week the principal topic dis
cussed was the call for a meeting in
Denver in May, of representatives of
all the associations of cattle raisers
and dealers in livestock at which the
New Mexico Cattle Growers Associa-
tion will be represented by three dele
gates. The railway officials fear the
livestock interests may be powerful
enough to secure national legislation
as to the manner in which livestock
traffic shall be handled by railways.
The consensus of opinion among Off
cials attending the meeting was that
the railways should Immediately adopt
measures to placate the livestock ship
pers, without making any reductions
in rates. The first step, probably, will
be return to the custom of giving
free return transportation to persons
accompanying shipments of livestock.
Although officially denied, certain rail
roads have been giving such transpor-
tation during the last month, contrary
to the agreement of all the western
railroads

CATION MEETING
BY the Republicans at the Court House
Saturday Evening-Eloquen
Speeches Made.

The ratification meeting by the Re-
publicans on Saturday evening at the
court house was largely attended and
was most enthusiastic gathering. The
regimental band previous to the meet
ing made street parade and escorted
the nominees on the Republican city
ticket from the old palace to the court
house. The meeting was called to or
der by District Attorney E. c. Abbott,
who made timely Introductory re-
marks.
The first speaker of the evening was
Solicitor General E. L. Bartlett Mr..
Bartlett emphasized the wisdom and
propriety of voting for the candidates
on the Republican city ticket He
proved by legal quotations that the al
legged Republicans who permitted their
names to be placed upon the Demo
cratic ticket will in the future be con-
sidered Democrats. He paid a glow
ing tribute to Jose D. Sena, candidate
for mayor saying that he was the best
clerk of the Supreme Court that New
Mexico has ever had and that he is an
indefatigable worker who has been
life long resident of Santa Fe and who
has the welfare of the city at heart. He
has done more towards inaugurating
street improvements in this city than
perhaps any other person
Jose d. Sena, the candidate for may
or, was the next speaker. He thanked
the party for his nomination and as
sured the people that as he had done
his part in the past he would do it in
the future, regardless of party or sect.
If elected, he would not leave stone
unturned in helping to make Santa Fe
the first city of the Territory. He
outlined and reviewed the work that
he had accomplished for the city under
difficulties, how he had en-
couraged the planting of trees and had
laid the first brick sidewalk in this
city. If elected, he would insist that
every official under his administration
do his duty and comply with the law
in letter and in spirit.
Judge A. J. Abbott followed with a
brief address declaring that the party's
platform was a good one and that ev-
cry Republican should be proud of the
ticket that has been nominated He
also paid a tribute to Mr.. Sena.
Addresses were also made by Marce-
limo Ortiz, David Gonzales, candidate
for city clerk. and Leo Hersch, candi-
late for city treasurer The band rem

)lauded

BERNALILLO DEMOCRATS.
Held Some Kind of Gathering Satur.
day and Elected Five Delegates
to Silver City.

The Democratic county convention
of Bernalillo County which was held
in Albuquerque on Saturday was a
poor and sad affair. Delegations from
the two city precincts and few scat
tering delegates from the county pre-
cincts were present. The following
delegates to the Silver City conven-
tion were elected: J. H. McCutcheOn,
H. B. Ferguson, o. N. Marion, A. B.
Mcmillan and Summers Burkhart. OF
course there were resolutions but no
one seems to know exactly what they
were and Albuquerque papers do not
give them. However, the delegation
is ''forninst" the nomination of w. r.
Hearst for the presidency as it is plu-
tocratic in personnel.

SANTA Re DEMOCRATS.
Met in County Convention Saturday
and Selected Delegates to Silver
Cjtv, Spirited Ejuht Over Hearst.

The Democratic county convention
to select delegates to the Silver City
convention was held at o'clock Sat
urday afternoon in the county court
house. 1t was well attended. Coun-
ty Chairman Arthur Seligman called
the convention to order Mr. Seligman
was elected temporary chairman and
Juan Delgado temporary secretary.
The committee on permanent organi-
zation reported as follows: A. B.
Renehan, permanent chairman; Jose
Antonio Anaya of Galisteo and j. P.
Victory, vice presidents; John w. Sui
livan of Madrid, permanent secretary;
Camilo Padilla and Jose Ortiz Baca,
interpreters. The following delegates
were elected to represent Santa Fe
County at the convention at Silver
City: Charles F. Easley, Camilo Pa
dilla, N. B. Laughlin, A. B. Renehan,
Arthur Seligman, Marcelino Garcia,
Apolonio Rael, J. d. L. A. Carilla,
James Lucas, John D. Hart, John P.
Victory, Manuel Roybal Lopez.
There was a spirited and lengthy
fight over resolution introduced in
structing the delegates from Santa Fe
County to work and vote for delegates
from New Mexico to the st. Louis con-
vention, who were favorable to and
would vote for the nomination of Will
lam Randolph Hearst as the Democrat
ic candidate for the presidency. The
resolution was knocked out by three
fourths vote. No instructions for a
member of the New Mexico delegation
to St. Louis from this district were CIV
en-, although it is understood that
Judge N. B. Laughlin is a candidate
for such position The joint statehood
boomers thought the single statehood
men had a majority and would force
a resolution in favor of single state
hood, thus giving the Democratic ter
ritorial central committee black eye.
The New Mexican was unable to Sc
cure the resolutions proper as the
leaders seemed to be afraid to have
them published The reason for this
Egyptian darkness is not apparent, as
after all it matters but mighty little
people know what was "reso-
luted or not resoluted" in the conven-
ton.
