SOUTHERN PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH is ORGANIZE

At a meeting held Wednesday night
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. K. K.
Scott, under the direction of Rev. Oil
yer G. Jones, evangelist of the Ell Pa
so Presbytery of the Presbyterian
Church of the United States, a branch
of that denomination, to be known
officially as the Roswell Presbyterian
church, was organized with R. P.
Bean and J. A. Foreman as elders.
This organization is commonly known
as the Southern Presbyterian church,
to distinguish it from the church in
byterian Church of the United States
of America.
Mr. Jones is to remain here several
days completing the organization of
the new branch of the Southern AS
sembly and will preach Sunday morn
ing and evening at the Majestic the
atre. The formation of a Sunday school
Aid Society and other auxiliaries will
follow
While the new church will draw

Presbyterian Church, it will be in no
sense an opposition church, and is
being started on account of no dissat
+ isfaction whatever. 1t is organized
merely because the Southern Assem-
bly, considers Roswell in its jurisdic-
diction and there are enough members
here to warrant the move. Twelve
hundred dollars has been subscribed
as a salary for the first pastor. The
new church has about 25 members.

SEVfNTY-FIvE IN A LOT
Special Train Arrives This Afternoon
Lower VaIIey-Extra Business Caus-
es Delays, But People Can Well Af-
ford to Put Up With 1t.

This week has brought regular old
time excursion. For two nights the
regular trains from the north have
brought good sized crowds of iade-
pendent homeseekers, several extra
coaches having been brought along
to accommodate the increased busi-
ness. This afternoon a special train
of three coaches arrived, bringing 65
prospectors in one bunch, most of
them il care of the immigration COM
panies. Crandall & Co., of Artesia,
went through with a full car of AZ
people in care of ]. NJ Conn. r. NJ.
Love and E. A Clayton had fourteen
prospectors. Others were travelling on
their own responsibility
All of the prospectors on this after
moons special went through to points
down the valley, but their coming to
any part of the Pecos Valley benefits
Roswell and the resumption of active
immigration is matter of import
ance to all.
The increased business has thrown
all trains late, last nights train ar
irving at $40 this morning, and yes
terday mornings train appearing at
midnight last night. No trains have
come from the south today on account
of a lack of equipment at the lower
end. The special arriving from the
north this afternoon went south at
tached to the local freight. 1t will res
turn as tomorrow mornings regular
train. Tonight's train is reported two
and half hours late. The public can
well afford to put up with late trains
if they are necessary as a result of
increased immigration.

ed under a thick layer of burnt cork,
We're the entertainers at the select
minstrels, put on under tne direction
of the Civic Department of the Wom-
ans Club at the Auditorium Rink last
night. Knowing who was back of the
affair, everyone expected something
good, and so well did the ladies' full
fill expectations that the general yer
dict today is. that the show was tne
best ever put on by local talent in
Roswell. The attendance, as SHOWN
by the receipts, was approximately
six hundred. and the financial result
rounds out the success of the effort
completely
According to minstrel practice, the
SHOW was put on in two parts, the
first for the ballads and jokes, the
second for special stunts. When the
curtain rolled up for the first it ex-
. posed stage full of beautiful women,
arrayed in tiers to form a background
for the scene of action in the center
of the stage. II the lower row were
ten members of the chorus, clad in
full dress coats and shirts, with white
duck skirts and powdered wigs. In
this row were Mesdames. Mary Co
Cobean, Stella Ritter. Lora Gibbany,
Anna Prayer, Florence Kilgour, Eth
el Bohannon, Winnie Rhea; Misses
Ila Odem, Eva Bean, Margaret Hin
son, Ruby Saunders, Edna Littlefield,
Katherine Bean. Irma Totzek and Ed
ma Mason. In the second row and
above them were the colonial DANES"
all in white, with picture hats and
powdered wigs, every one of them a
beauty. Mesdames Henrietta Goslin,
Minnie Stewart, Allie Slaughter, Nina
Richardson, Mary White, Marguerite
Reed. Ella B. Leonard, Fanny Bald
win, Lillian Tannenill. Cora True and
Grace Baker; Misses Maud Best, Ell

propriate subject could not have been
found, so well did she appear and car
ry out her part. In the center of the
lower row in q seat of prominence sat
the interlocutor. Mrs. Mary Helmig,
who presided over the deliberations
with becoming dignity a1d composure.
After the opening chorus, medley
of national and popular airs, the end
..men" appeared, in dress coats, white
shirts, silk hats and black skirts, also
black faces. They were Mesdames Eff
fie Jewett, Bette Smith. Josephine
Hunt. Het Evans and Clara We'll aid
Miss Louie Ogle. Upon their arrival
the fun began and continued through
the evening.
The first song of the evening was
an ode to the Civic Department, ex-
planning the purpose of the organiza-
ton and addressed to the City Coun-
cit who were supposed to be sitting
on the front row, but, except for two
m amhers, failed to have the nerve to
appear in that conspicuous place. The

GoIdfield Denies Need of Troops.
Goldfield, New. Elm view of the
admission of the mine operators that
they had applied to tae President for
orders holding troops in readiness to
come to Goldfield, there is wide di-
vergence of opinion. The sheriff was
not consulted, and he denies that he
is not able to control the situation.
1t is accepted as a fact that the pub
lication of the action of the War De-
partment was premature, and the op-
orators only wished to get rid of the
preliminaries before a critical time
cane for the opening of the mines
with non-union laborers The mine
owners held long session yesterday,
but said they had nothing for publi-
cation beyond deploring the fact that
the application for troops had gained
such wide publication. Owing to the
sensational reports in circulation, the
officers here are swamped with re-
quests to take care of valuable realty

WOULD CLOSE DIVES IN
GOLDEN GATE AVENUE
Property Owners Join With
Residents to Abolish
the Eerie Resorts

The property owners and residents of
Golden Gate avenue will make an or
ganized fight to have the dives which
flourish along the street abolished by
the Police Commission. The commits
sioners at a recent meeting closed The
Camel" one of the most notorious re-
sorts in the avenue but sign on the
doors reads CLOSED on account of re-
pairs.' 1t is reported that the own
ers of the place are negotiating with
Ruef and for a consideration have re-
ceived his promise that they will be al
lowed to reopen after Mayor Schmitz
returns.
The property owners say that values
have deprecated because of the pres
ence of the Objectionable dens. An ap-
peal will be made to the Police Com
missioners to take the licenses from all
the resorts which are openly violating
the law.
Not only the property owners but the
mothers have taken a determined stand
against these places. The temptation
to girls who dwell along the street has
aroused their parents. Golden Gate
avenue was a choice residence thor
oughfare before it was invaded by the
overflow from the tenderloin. A strong
effort will be made to restore 1t to its
former position.

The number of new women" in Chi
ma is limited. In all the Flowery King
dom there are but two native born wo-
men physicians. and one OF these ar
rived here yesterday on the Nippon
Maru. Both graduated from an Ameri-
can university.
BY virtue Of diplomas granted in this
country both are practicing medicine in
China. One OF them is the only physi-
clan in a city of 10000 population. The
other shares with a man the medical
practice OF a city Of 1000, 900 inhabi-
tants.
Her name in Chinese sounds like the
splash OF a rock in pool of water. Its
Americanized version means stone. ="
and it is as DR.. Mary Stone that the
woman's name appeared on the liners
passenger list. She adopted the name
when she entered Ann Arbor with Ida
Kahn, a countrywoman. They gradu-
ated together and both returned TO
China DR.. Kahn is now practicing at
Nanchang. Miss Stone is the only ply
sician, excepting native practitioners,
at Kiukiang.
DR.. Stone graduated in 1892. She is
now 3S years Of age. She tells her age
frankly.
In addition to her general practice
she is in charge of the Danforth Me-
mortal Hospital at Kiukiang. She has
come TO the United States for a rest,
but while in New York expects TO
spend much time at the hospitals. Her
father was one of the earliest Chinese
converts to Christianity and her sister,

singer.
