tains Fire Loss Of at Least
a Million Dollars.

Hot Springs, Arkansas, Feb. 25.-
This city was visited by disastrous
fire today, entailing loss that is con-
servatively estimated at 100000.
Three or more lives are reported lost.
The fire started at $3.50 o'clock this
morning in the Grand Central Hotel,
in the southern part of the city. A
high wind was blowing, and the flames
quickly spread to the south and west.
Plateau Hotel, Hotel Moody, Granier
Flats and several lodging houses were
quickly destroyed. More than 100
houses were destroyed before the
flames were checked and more than
1000 people are homeless. The
charred bodies of three women are re-
ported to have been found in the ruins
of the Grand Central Hotel.
The fire department rendered good
service until o'clock, when the water
pressure gave out and the threatened
area was left almost unprotected, but
after the water pressure gave out
bucket brigades were formed and hun
dreds of men volunteered their SER
vices. At 9 o'clock the fire was still
burning, but 1t is now pronounced un.
der control.

LET EXPRESSION
BE SUBSTANTIAL
gests That Fitting Monument to
Late Col. Chaves Be Established.

TO the Editor of the New Mexican:
l have attended the memorial SER
vice of Colonel Chaves held by the
Legislative Council with satisfaction.
The service was impressive and the ad-
dresses interesting and appreciated.
But l was rather disappointed the
universal feeling did not take some
tangible and enduring form of ex-
preston. l expected that the ad-
dresses would lead up to resolution
providing for fitting monument in
the chamber of the Council over which
he so long presided. No one else in
the whole country has presided SO
many years over the upper branch of
a legislature. A like term of such SER
vice will probably never again be seen
in New Mexico. His fame is linked
forever with the presidency of the
Council. How appropriate, then, it
would be, to place his bust, in marble
or in bronze, behind the presidents
chair, as an enduring monument! May
we not hope for such action by the leg
islature.

IN LIFE'S MIDST
THERE is DEATH

Santa Fe people were shocked last
evening to hear that at o'clock yes.
terday afternoon Mrs. H. H. Dorman
had passed from life at the family
home, Buena Vista Place, on the south
side after an illness of only eleven
days. Her death was due to the shock
resulting from an operation for appen-
dicitis.
Mrs. Dorman came here from New
York City, accompanied by her mother,
Mrs. Perkins, in September, 1902, and
was married January 81, 1904. She was
thirty-one years of age.
Mrs. Dorman had during her short
residence in this city made many
friends by her loving disposition and
womanly traits and her death is a
deep blow to her husband, who has
the sympathy of their friends.
The funeral will be held tomorrow
afternoon from the home and will be
private. Rev. Dye, rector of the
Church of the Holy Faith will be in
charge. The body will rest temporar-
lily in Fairview Cemetery.

BRIGHT LITTLE
LIFE GOES OUT

Friends of District Attorney and
Mrs. E. G. Abbott will be deeply panied
to hear of the death of their little two
and half year old son, E. c. Abbott,
Jr., at half an hour past midnight this
morning. Only yesterday the members
of the Abbott household were happy in
the belief that their dear little man
had successfully passed the crisis OF
his illness and would soon again be
the laughing sunshine of the home in
which he was idolized. His death,
therefore, was the more poignant in
the grief it brought for that bright hour
of hope. Not until late yesterday after
noon did the dread symptoms of an
unfavorable reaction manifest them
selves. Every effort known to the med
ical world was made in behalf Of the
little sufferer, but it was to no avail,
his little life's slender cord was loosed
and the tiny soul having slipped earth's
leash left the night Of the world for
the day Of eternity.
The funeral services will be conduct
ed from the house at o'clock Sunday
afternoon, and interment will be made
ct Fairview.

LEPER COLONY s.
is NOT WANTED

From very authentic information II
would seem almost a certainty that
should the bill to establish leper
colony in one of the territories become
a law, New Mexico will be the Terri
tory selected. In view of this fact A.
R. Gibson, mayor of Santa Fe, has
sent the following telegram to Dele
gate B. S. Rodey, protesting against
the measure:
Santa Fe, N NJ, Feb. %. 1905.
Hon. B. S. Rodey, Washington, D. C.
In the name of humanity, the peo-
pie en- masse of this, the Capital City,
protest against the passage of the ini-
quitous bill establishing a leper colony
in this or any other Territory.
"a. R. GIBSON,
Mayer Z
Although this telegram is literally
only from the people of this one city,
it emphatically expresses the sentl,
ments of the entire Territory and of
all other territories. Other mayors
have followed the example of Mayor
Gibson and more will do so, as the
real import of the bill becomes more
generally known. The bill is an out
age upon civilization and should be
generally stamped as such.
