AMATEUR SHOW
WAS SPLENDID
Large Crowd Greeted Second
Presentation Of 1.-THE
Private Secretary"
TO ORGANIZE DRAMATIC CLUB

Notwithstanding that over 600 peo-
pie saw the performance OF the
laughable comedy, "The Private Sec
retary," given by Albuquerque anna
teurs at the commencement exercises
of Immaculate Conception school,
good sized audience 81 eeted the per
formers again last night, when the
play was repeated In the Elks' opera
house.
THE Private Secretary" is one of
the most clever comedies ever pre-
sented by local talent. 1t contains
the most amusing situations through
out and affords a laugh at almost
every turn. The play was well cast,
appropriately staged, and the per-
formance showed thorough and care
full training. The performers all
filled their respective parts accepta-
bly,. Mr.. Oliphant, as Bernard Marsh
land, and Mr.. Kelly, as ]. Horatius
Cattermole, made a most amusing
pair of eccentric old men, and their
Ielation of boyhood experiences
evoked much laughter from the audi
ence. Prof. Crum, in the part of
Robert Adolphus Waldron, "The Pri-
vate Secretary" gave a clever char
acter portrayal, and played his part
with ease. The efforts OF others to
keep him from being discovered in
the home OF Bernard Marshland was
most laughable. Mr.. Scott played
the part of Douglas Cattermole, in his
usual pleasing manner, and his sing
ing between acts was heartily ap-
plauded. Mr.. Conley, as Gibson, the
pompous tailor, and Mr.. Keleher, as
Harry Marshland. filed their parts
with credit, and Mr. Ward made a
typical Irish bailiff.
Mr.. Joseph Friedberg. who appeared
in clever monologue, entitled "Oh,
Desc Women" made probably the
most decided hit of the evening, and
Mr.. Harmon, as James, the negro but
Ter, did some excellent bits of acting
that added greatly to the humor OF
the play The performance was un-
der the direction OF Prof. ]. II. Crum.
Rev. Father Mandalari is planning
for the organization of a dramatic
club, in connection with the Immacu-
late Conception school, next year, and
The Private Secretary" was given in
the interest of this movement.

WRECK OVERLAND TRAIN

Laramie, Wyo., July 7.-An attempt
was made early this morning to wreck
the westbound passenger train, No
l, known as the overland limited, near
Buford. The engineer a nd fireman

Meeting Ration, N. NJ, with Dawson.
The men are located at Black mesa,

his wife with a mallet. She was also
old and feeble. The couple had sew
eral grown up children.

In forming conclusions on any
subject circumstances should be
taken into consideration. The rail-
ways in America have more acct
dents proportionately to the num-
Der of passengers carried and en-
ployes in service than happens in
England. Does all this discrepancy
arise from carelessness or the use of
preventive methods? England is
thickly settled and the distance trav-
eled by the people is short. This is
a country of "magnificent distances. "
The people here travel many times
the distance people do in England.
] Japan, on its government railways,
carries passengers at three-fourths of
cent mile and freight at cent a
mile per ton. Could the United
States operate its railways on such
rates and pay expenses? If condi-
tons were the same here as there it
might. If the distances were as
limited and work were done as
cheaply here, yes.
