Bride and Groom.

A correspondent sends the
Chieftain an account of a recent
notable wedding in Magd alena
as follows:
Magdalena, July /, 1908.
To the Chieftain:
The first marriage ceremony
in the new Presbyterian church
at Magdalena took place last
evening, June 30. Great inter-
est centered around this mar
riage, due not only to the prom
inence but to the popularity of
the contracting parties, the
young, beautiful, and accom-
plished daughter of Mr.. ]. M.
Allen of the Allen House being
the bride and Mr.. N. Whitefield
Miller, in the employ of the
Becker-Mactavish company, be-
ing the groom. The maid of
honor was Miss Anna Field, the
best man Mr.. Julius Becker, and
the ushers MeSsrs. Leitus Strick-
ler and John ID. Frazer.
The church was beautifully
decorated with palms, plants,
and flowers by Mrs. c. B. Tot
man and others. Promptly at
$3.50 o'clock the bridal party en-
tered the church to the strains
of Mendelsohn's wedding march
rendered by Miss Ora Russell,
daughter cf Mr.. and Mrs. Wayne
Russell. The church was filled
to its utmost capacity. The
ceremony was performed by Rev.
John Campbell, pastor of the
church. A Sumptuous supper
was served at the Allen House,
after which the happy couple re-
tired to their own home amidst
showers of rice and the good
wishes of the entire community.
Respectfully,
CORRESPONDENT.

MRS. ROSS MCMILLAN DEAD
The Announcement Made Monday
Morning Caused Profound Sor-
row among Friends in Socorro.

The announcement made Mon
day morning that Mrs. Ross Nc
MILAN had suddenly died at her
mountain home near Coyote
caused profound sorrow among
that lady's circle of warm and
admiring friends in Socorro. Mrs.
Mcmillan was we'll known here
as an extremely lovable and
charming woman and expressions
of keen sympathy with the afflict-
ed family have been heard on
every hand. The circumstances
of the sad demise were told in
the Santa Fee New Mexican as
| follows:
Mrs. Gracia b. Mcmillan,
wife of Ross Mcmillan, super
visor of the Pecos, Jemez, and
Taos National Forests, died Fri
day night at their mountain home
near Coyote after an illness of
several weeks. The cause of
her death is given as a complica-
tiou of diseases.
Mrs. Mcmillan had been at
Coyote cottage about six weeks
and it was not generally known
in Santa Fe that she was critical
ly ill. Her husband was in the
city two weeks ago after attend
ing the funeral of his father at
Denver, who died in the latter
city rather suddenly about a
month ago. Mr.. Mcmillan was
called to Coyote on account of
the illness OF his wife but re-
port reached Santa Fe that she
was not critically i'll.
The news of her death came
like a thunderbolt out of clear
sky. 1t was known that she was
seriously i'll by a few, as DR..
David Knapp had been attending
her constantly for about ten days.
Although she died Friday night
nothing was known of the sad
affair until Saturday evening
when Undertaken ID. f. Montenie
received telephone message to
go to Coyote and prepare the
body tor interment.
Mrs. Mcmillan was a very
lovable woman, about 81 years
old, ever pleasant and the proud
and loving mother of three bright
children. She was Buffalo,
New York, girl and her mother
is now in her eastern home where
she went but a short time before
Mrs. Mcmillan left for the sum-
mer cottage at Coyote a little
over a month ago. Mrs. Nc
Millan's mother expected to re-
turn soon and spend the summer
with her daughter near Coyote. "
Tuesdays number of the New
Mexican contained the following:
Brief funeral services will be
held over the body of the late
Mrs. Gracia b. Mcmillan, wife
of Ross Mcmillan, supervisor of
the PecoS, Jemez and Taos Ma
tional Forests, tomorrow after
noon at 3 o'clock at the residence
of Associate Justice John h.
McFie on the south side. The
services will be conducted by the
Reverend w. h. Dye, of the
Church of the Holy Faith.
Tomorrow evening Mr.. Nc
MILAN will start for Buffalo,
New York, with the body where
it will be inferred in the family
cemetery. The three Children of
Mr.. Mcmillan will be left in
Santa Fe until their father re-
turns"

out of a total of almost 1000 men who
ate at the soup kitchen at 121R San
Pedro street during the last quarter
only about one-ninth were able to pay
the 2 cents asked for a quart bowl of
soup and all the bread the patron could
hold.
Last Friday. for instance, 21S men
ate breakfast there, the meal consist
ing of a pint cup of coffee and rolls.
Only thirty-tWo men out of the 21e
paid 2 cents for their breakfast. Out
of the 4S1 who ate breakfast and din
ner there the day previous but fifty
paid the cents asked for each meal.
1.-THE idea of charging cents for the
meals,'' explained Capt. Joe Norton,
an Englishman from Yorkshire who
has been in the service of the Saliva
ton Army for eighteen years and VINO
has charge of the culinary department
at the kitchen, was to enable men who
were out of work to get plain, SUD-
stantial meals without feeling they
were dependent upon charity.

to 0 a. M, and soup and as much bread
as a man can eat from IL a. m. until
the soup is exhausted. We have sew
eraI wealthy members who, although
they don't wear the uniform or take
part in the street meetings, yet help us
a great deal with liberal offerings OF
money.
Ensign James Muir, who is in com
mand of Los Angeles corps No. 2,
manipulates the monograph in the Dig
room adjoining the dining room, and
thus the men are entertained until 1t
comes their turn to eat. Only twenty
two men can sit down at the dining
room table at one time. Hence they
take their turns at meals.
"They will all pay this back some
day." said Ensign Muir; lit is wonder
full the lot of fine fellows who are COM
ing here. who cannot afford even
cents.

lectures in this hall consisting of

PASTOR PRAISES WORK
DONE BY EVANGELISTS

Rev. C. C. Pierce, pastor of the
Memorial Baptist church, yesterday
preached on reVivals, taking for his
text, Psalms S6:5, "Wilt thou revive us
again?"
He said during the course of his ser
mon: sit was reported the other day
that a pastor of this city engaged in
the work to which he has been called
had stated to some one that he did not
believe in evangelists, nor in the usual
evangelistic tactics. Who this man was
1 do not know. Others may share his
feelings. All who love the cause aud
the Master and of humanity will unite
IT. a desire for real religious awaken
ing.
From the day of Pentecost till the
present the history of the church rec
ords numerous times when a great
awakening along religious lines has
swept across the world. Some think
we are at the dawn of another such
sc ason. OF course there are evangelists
and other evangelists, and some are
different.
"a season of great religious excite
ment, coarse methods to attract atten-
ton and draw the crowd, cut and
cried program worked with varying
success upon each new collection Of
people, the distortion and over en-
rhasis of certain Christian doctrines,
the playing to the galleries, the mani
fest desire for notoriety, cheaply Sc
cured by an ever growing collection Of
jokes, yarns and stories - all these
things are deplored by all who love the
cause of Christ and by none more than
by that noble class of men, evidently
called of God for a special work, the
real spiritual evangelists, the men with
q special gift, directed toward the
bringing of people into confessed dis
c3pleship of Christ.
mo nobler class, no more useful class
has ever labored for the extension Of
the gospel than many who have done
the work of evangelists."

PULLING MIXUP
IN CASE OF FOUR
STOLEN CHICKENS
Mexican Robs PoIiceman's Hencoop,
and in Subsequent ENHANCEMENT
the Laugh Is on Victim of
Fowl Crime

A Mexican was arrested the other
night having in his possession four
chickens in a sack which he could not
properly account for.
The next day one of the local police
officers complained that his hen roost
had been raided, and when told about
the Mexicans arrest Immediately iden-
titled two of the chickens as his prop
erty. The other two were claimed by
another party who called later in the
day.
The Mexican was to be arraigned in
court on the charge of stealing, and
the chickens were ordered held as evil
dence. In the meantime the chickens
had to be fed, and this somewhat wor-
.ried the officer who owned them. He
thought the proper thing to do would
starve to death, but they must be pro-
duced at the proper time as evidence,
and this also worried him.
He waited until the next day for the
Mexican to be tried, but for some rea-
son his case was delayed.
In the meantime the other party had
forgotten all about his chickens and
never called to ask about them again.
The property clerk was having his
troubles with the fowls, having each
of them tied by one leg, attached to
his desk, and occasionally his feet
would become entangled in the cords
attached to the chickens legs, and what
he said wouldn't look good in print.
He was wishing that the owners
would call and get their property.
Fowls Taken Away
One of the patrol wagon drivers
thought to relieve the situation by TAX
ing one of the chickens home that even
ing, he being somewhat of a chicken
"fancier." The officer who had previ-
ously identified his chickens sent word
that he would take his two fowls home
that evening, and to have them ready
in a sack.
So he called that evening and got
them. The following day the Mexican
was to be arraigned, and the detective
who made, the arrest had been COM
planning that the evidence against the
Mexican had disappeared.
He stated the facts to the captain,
who called the officer before him who
had acknowledged owning the two
stolen chickens and asked him to ex-
plain what had become of them.
The officer replied that when he
reached home that evening he had three
chickens in his sack, one OF them be-
longing to another party.
But" said he, last night my chick
en- roost was again raided and the
thieves took my two chickens and left
the one that belonged to some one else
The laugh was on the officer, and the
chicken case was dropped, except for
the Mexican, who was sent to jail Tor
twenty days.
