To The People Of the Territory Of
New Mexico.


New Mexico papers please copy. ]
The New Mexico Institute for
the Blind will open on Monday,
Sept. 10, 1905. All blind and
partially blind children of the
Territory, sound in mind and
body, will be admitted as pupils
Of the school. As in the states,
the law of the Territory provides
the age limits to be from 5 to 81
years. Our school course en-
bodies the literary course as in
the public schools, and in addi-
tiOn to this we propose to teach
other branches. We will have
experienced teachers for each
department, and music, vocal
and instrumental, as well as
physical culture, and the proper
use of the hands, which is very
necessary for blind people, will
be taught. The institution af-
fords to every blind child in the
Territory the same privilege for
acquiring an education as is CIV
EN- to their morefortunate BROTH
ers and sisters. It gives free
board and lodging. tuition, laun-
dry, medicines and other neces-
stiles, absolutely free of charge.
Only those who are able to con-
tribute will be charged the ac-
tual cost for board, etc. Parents
of blind children may safely in
trust them to the fostering care
|Of the school and its manage
ment. s. H. Gill Of Tennessee,
who was for nine years instruc-
tor in the Tennessee school for
the blind, situated at Nashville,
is Superintendent Of the institu-
tion, and Miss Louise Butler,
who also has experience in teach
ing blind children, and others
suited for this work will be in
charge.
There seems to be a predis-
position on the part Of the pub
lie in general to aid in this all
important work, and | most sim
cerely hope that ell people in
the Territory having children
who are eligible to this achool,will

CULlOM HAS LONG LEAD
Is Choice Of Republican Party in
Illinois for Senate Cannon
Returned to Congress.

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 4.-The Re.
publican voters of Illinois made
it known at the primaries today
that they wished Senator Shelby
M. Cullom returned to the Unit
ed States Senate. After one Of
the most spectacular political
campaigns ever seen, Senator
CullOm won Cook County by a
plurality of more than 1900,
while down State what meager
returns are in indicate that he
has secured districts enough to
assure him victory over his prin-
cipal opponent, former Gov.
Richard Yates. Senator Gull
lom's plurality in the State is
estimated at from %, 600 to 50,-
900.
All the parties in the State
held their primaries today, and
the new primary law, passed last
spring by speacial session Of
the Legislature, was pronounced
an unqualified success. OF all
the candidates, either Demo-
cratic or Republican, Congress-
man Lorimer Of the Sixth Dis
trict and Congressman James r.
Mann of the Second District put
up the most spirited campaign
for denomination. They both
won their districts by handsome
majorities.
In the Eighteenth District
Joseph g. Cannon, Speaker Of
the House Of Representatives,
had no opposition, and his re-
nomination is assured.

rant for the arrest of Chas. Davis
and Geo. Williams on charge for
assault with deadly weapon. Davis
and Williams live at Artesia, N. M,

woods hunting with % target
and did not know that Gisack was
near. Gisak claims that they want
to kill him to get rid Of him. The
trial was set for yesterday at this

So says g. j. Wolfinger's ad-
vertisement. Mr.. Wolfinger is
thoroughly acquainted with the
resources Of this city and though
the railway shops move, and
while we will all regret to see
the shops removed, yet we have
many good things left. We
have the only real pure water
supply in this end of New Mex
leo, with other mountain springs
undevelOped. We have the best
all-year climate in New Mexico.
We have the great American
Cooperative SanatOrium which
is to be the largest institution of
its kind in the world. We have
the most beautiful park in the
Southwest, and the prettiest
town in New Mexico with miles
and miles of shaded streets. We
have a class of the most intelIi-
gent people in America, both
among native born and those
who have adopted this country
as their home. We have the
New Mexico Baptist College
which is destined to be the lead
ing institution of learning in the
Southwest. We have the New
Mexico Institute for the Blind,
the most perfectly equipped and
conveniently and comfortably
appOrtioned building of its kind
in the Southwest. In short, we
have much to be proud of and
very little to cause regret.
Mr.. Wolfinger is one who helps
make Alamogordo with his
money and shrewd business
methods, and as long as Alamo
gOrdO can support and afford
such enterprising and substan-
tial citizens as G. j. Wolfinger
just SO long will our confidence
be unshaken."

DEMOCRATIC
COMMITTEE
VIII MEET TODAY AND
TRY 70 FIX n


The Democratic central CON-
mittee are to meet today for the
purpose of putting out two candi-
dates for commissioner, one for
precinct No. 2 and one for pre-
cinct No. 1. The cause of this
was on account of the central
committee asking the nominee,
J. l. johnson, Of precinct No. 2,
to resign so as to give the place
to some Mexican citizen, and in
consequence Of this action on
the part of the central commit
tee the nominee for commission
er Of precinct No. / resigned,
hence the two vacancies on the
ticket to be supplied at the
meeting today.
It doesn't matter just how the
central committee get around
this bit Of trouble the mistake
has been made and no amount
of fixing" will right it. The
Mexican citizens of Otero county
and New Mexico are made to
realize more and more each year
where their best interests are
in the Republican party-the
party of and for the whole peo-
pie.

Washington City on it's way to Car.

school there.
With the party, which included
some members of both houses of Con.

service, were the fearless, forcible
Fftzhugh Lee, and that knightly
Christian soldier, Major General O. O.
Howard.

Again their conversation was about

They had discussed the Industrial
conditions of the country, and General

as to the needs and opportunities Of

In Sunless DUNGEONS.

A victim of Russian severity who
was at one time immured in the grim
fortress Of Peter and Paul, in st. Pc
tersburg, describes it as resembling a
house Of the dead.
'Tts dungeons, utterly sunless. are
abodes Of gloom and silence. Not a
word is spoken among the hapless pris-
oners, intercourse being carried on
mainly by gestures. Prisoners COM
municate with each other by knocking
on the walls of their cells, SO many
times for each letter. But even this
is sternly repressed by the authorities,
and captives detected in the practice
are liable to severe punishment.
"In short, the prison reproduces all
the horrors of the dungeons Of ro-
nance, with widowed walls, cold ST.
lence and despair. The fortress, in
deed, is never spoken Of in Russia
without a shudder, for Imprisonment
there is little better than being buried

Royal Mhlm.
Mrs. Potter Palmer, social censor
for the great world Of society in Chi
cago, is numbered among the few
American women who have really and
truly penetrated to the inner circles OF
exclusive society in England.
One hears every day of Mrs. This or
Mrs. That who has set the social world
of London agog, but few of this vast
number ever do more than receive an
invitation or two to affairs which are
by no means the entertainments OF the
smart set.
Mrs. Potter Palmer, however, is a
woman whose social position is as
sured and has been for number OF
years. To know her is the open ses-
anne to the most exclusive houses in
America, and so when she went
abroad last summer and announced
her intention of staying for the re-

gatta season at Cowes, it meant one
more distinguished American woman
to be admitted to the Kings circle.
Mrs. Potter Palmer never does
things by halves, and this was never
more thoroughly demonstrated than
when she arranged the marriage be-
tween her niece. Miss Julia Dent
Grant, and the Russian Prince Can
tacuzene. 1t was one of the most bril-
liant matrimonial achievements the
social world has ever known, and, un-
like so many similar affairs, the union
has turned out to be a supremely
happy one.
When Mrs. Potter Palmer deter
mined to join the social colony at
Cowes last year she leased the his

society goes down for the regatta sea.
son, for the King is sure to be there,
and society focks at the royal heels.
This recalls that the interior of
Egypt House is a splendid example of
the simple luxury which prevails in so
many old English houses. Several
years ago it was leased by Consuelo,
Dowager Duchess Of Manchester. The
Duchess is one Of the Oldest friends OF
King Edward, and during the season
that she was mistress Of Egypt House
she was the Kings hostess on more
than one occasion.
The Duchess had the old place done
over in anticipation of the Kings COM
ing and all the floors were highly pol
ished and covered with expensive rugs.
His Majesty was escorting the Ouch.
ess into dinner one evening when he
slipped on the polished floor and mar
rowly escaped getting bad fall. For
the instant the King was, angry and
reminded the Duchess that he detested
polished floors and would never again
enter house where they prevailed.
Merchants of London received or
ders the following day to take meas
urements of all the floors In Egypt
House. and when the King again Wis
tied the Duchess there he found every
room and corridor carpeted in fine
Persian effects. The King laughed
and partly apologized for his bad tenn
per on the previous occasion by say.
Ing, "You are very good, Duchess. You
see, am not as young as used to
be-" Since that time polished floors
have been tabooed by the English
smart set.

DESERT. SANDS BEING TRANS
FORMED INTO VERDANT
FIELDS AND ORCHARDS.

Country Was Once Inhabited by an
Ancient People-Only Ruins Left to
Indicate a Teeming and Prosperous
Population.
Swinging gently in ones hammock
beneath wide spreading fig trees load
ed with luscious fruit, and breathing
into the nOstrils the fragrance of a
field Of Peruvian clover mingling with
the almost tropical bloom about me, 1t
is indeed hard to believe that this very
spot, only few years ago, boosted
naught save the horned toad, the
ella monster and the rattlesnake. A
suspicion of a scent of desert sage
waited on a summer mornings zephyr
awakes in one a realization that, just
beyond this fair oasis, gaunt desola-
ton, weird and mysterious, stalks
wide under relentless skies Of brass.
All these thoughts and others are
yours when you drop into Phoenix
or Mesa, or any of the little Gases In
the Salt River Valley, after the long
hot ride across the burning sands
which intervene between it and Ell
Paso, Texas. You are glad to feast
your eyes on the green verdure which
seems to spring suddenly from out
the sere desert.
An Almost Tropical Climate.
Phoenix, beautiful in a garb of
tropical luxuriance, with wide aven-
ues shaded by magnificent palms or
shapely umbrella trees, with pleasant
homes almost hidden by vines and
flowers, bids you welcome.
Many Of her pioneers and her best
citizens came here to fight last bat
tie with that dreaded scourge, the
White ue-tuberculosis- and the
welcome they received from the des-
ert brought the bloom of health to
their cheeks and new hope to their
hearts, and is reflected in the welcome
which greets the stranger at their
gates to-day.
Ours is usually termed a new coun-
try, yet in Arizona one views the re-
mains of civilization that fourished
as long ago as the eighth or ninth CEN
tury, and mayhaps as ancient as that
of the first. There Is an irrigation ca
nal, deep and wide, cut from the solid
rock by race which lived In the
Salt River valley ere man mad

bank one finds broken stone axe,

records nothing save this sign of skill
in engineering and irrigation. Van

past 80 long ago that the
