come and gone. They came, they saw
and were conquered by the hospitality
of Globe, and conquered Globe by the
lavishment of their own specially pre-
pared FL Paso branded entertainment
which they brought with them, and
which they dispensed in a manner so
open handed and transformations that
they won the hearts of the Globeites;
from the music of the famous Concha
band, which was sort of continuous
performance until the train departed,
up to the form of entertainment pro-
viGed in Room No. at the Dominion,
and down to the vocal efforts of Nessrs.
Brown:and Pew, and this is not meant
for any reflection on the merits of their
respective vocal qualities.
The special Pullman train bearing
the fifty members of the I'll Paso Cham
ber of Commerce, and representing
nearly every important business enter
prise in that city. with the Concha Mex
lean band of twenty-five pieces, arrived
in Globe yesterday afternoon at 2
O'Clock. the train being manned by a
Southern Pacific crew. They immedi-
ately disembarke ed, and headed by the
band marched down Broad street 70 the
end of the business section, ana then
countermarched back to the Dominion
hotel, where headquarters were inn
mediately opened in Room /.
Soon after their arrival the train was
run down to the Old Dominion smelter
and the visitors were shown through
the reduction works and some of the
mines.
Allf afternoon the FL Pasoans acted as
hosts for the many Globe business and
professional men who called upon them
and refreshments of all the best known
brands were dispensed to whoever
would partake. During the ternoon
the band furnished continuous con-
cert both in front of the hotel and later
on the second story balcony and large
crowds listened to the splendid music.
The time was well spent by the visi-
tors who took occasion to meet Globe
business men and good results may be
anticipated for both. The Ell Pasoans
came here looking for business, but
they did it in such a nice way that it
lost the SAVIOR of being a strictly busi-
ness proposition. In fact but one of
the visitors ventured to openly talk
business. Presuming upon mis- ac-
quaintance of former times in Globe,
Hnmphries the photographer, brazenly
toted his picture machine about town
and took photos of everything ne laid
eyes on. He lost caste with some of
his local friends by swapping an Indian
on burro and demanding payment in
advance for the picture.
The crowning fea ture of the visit of
the Pass City boosters however, was
the banquet rendered them last night
by the business men of Globe. The
visitors came here with the intention
of doing all of the entertaining and the
smoker and banquet at which the local
people played host was an unexpected
and enjoyable affair for the FL Pasoans.
The dining room of the Dominion was
well filled with banquetters and the
band was stationed iu the lobby of the
hotel when the ceremonies began at
$3.50. A fortunate selection for toast
master, was that of Judge F. S. Nave;
the place of master of cermonies could
not have been better filled, for the
judge showed his versatility by adapt
ing himself to the role of Jolly good
fellow" as naturally as he assumes the
demeanor of dignified dispenser of
justice on the territorial supreme bench.
His opening remarks scintillated with
bright witticisms and were interlarded
with some anecdotes that made a hit
with every banquetter.
Many were called upon for speeches
and toasts and all responded, whether
or not their after-dinner speeckmaking
education had been neglected. H. D.
Slater, who called US "Globos, made
speech in "a very happy vein, showing
that he is fully as much at home in the
banquet room as in the editorial offices
of the FL Paso Herald, over which he
presides. H. S. Beach an importer of
Mnxsrnf, erpaAu + NJ (anrr,,
goods merchant, F. w. Freemsn, who
sells oils, Garnett King and V. r. Stiles
of the Southwestern railway and Hum
phries were called upon and each made
neat talks. The latter almost had his
audience in tears when he told of how
he had first inventedIhot air; how his in
vention had been stolen by Gar
nett King and how he was
forced to invent substitute which,
however, was proving "a great success
in his line of business. George X.
Hill made splendid talk on behalf of
Globe and the hosts of the banquet, in
which he told the visitors some interest
ing things Of Globe and what was ex-
pected in the future of the city. There
were also number of other speakers
and the visitors glee club rendered
several selections which were encored
When the banquet finally drew to
close shortly before midnight it was
with regret that good-byes were said
and guests and hosts were profuse in
