DEATHS SHINING MARK
Sister Mary EuphrOsyne, Former
Superior Of LOrettO Academy,
Passes Away at Las Vegas.
HAD A REMARKABLE CAREER
Had Devoted a Long Life TO the
Work of a Noble Eddca-
tional Order.

The announcement of the
death of Sister Euphrosyne was
received in Socorro Monday by
all classes of people with feelings
OF profound sorrow. Sister Eu-
phrosyne spent many of the
years of her long life in Socorro
in the work of a noble order and
no finer tribute could have been
paid to her memory anywhere
than was contained ia the ex-
presSions of sorrow here at her
taking away. A brief story of
her life and death is taken from
an article in the Las Vegas Optic
as follows:
Sister Mary Euphrosy ne died
at $50 o'clock Sunday night,
January 20, 1908, after a long
career of usefulness and labor of
love.
"She was born in Lebanon,
Marion county, Kentucky, June
13, l843, and was christened
Elizabeth Catherine, her parents
being Mr.. and Mrs. Benjamin
Thompson.
AT the age of Is years she
joined the Sisters of Loretto, at
Loretta, KY, and after a course
of training in this, the mother
school of this order, she was
transferred to take charge of St.
Benedict's Academy at Portland,
KY, and two years later came to
New Mexico, and was one OF the
pioneers in education and the
spreading of the Catholic religion
in this territory. Her first work
was at Santa Fe. Later she took
charge of the sisters work at
Taos and for twelve years con-
Quoted the Loretto Academy at
that place.
"She later had charge of the
school at Las Vegas and then at
Mora.
Later she established the Lo-
retto Academy at Socorro and
was the mother superior for
twenty-five years, again taking
charge of the work here at Las
Vegas in 1904 as mother supe-
rior.
Sister EuphrosYne stood high
in the councils of the Sisters OF
Loretto and since her illness be-
gan the aged Mother of the Sis
ters of Loretto, Mother Francisco
Lamy, made the journey from
Loretta, KY, to be with her and
comfort her in her last hours.
Sister Euphrosyne has been
quite i'll for four months, but has
never relaxed her management of
the affairs of Loretto Academy,
retaining all her faculties and
keeping up a keen interest in all
school affairs to the very last.
She died of a complication of
diseases, all OF which were ag-
gravated by increasing age.
Probably no woman in New
Mexico was better known or more
universally loved than Sister Eu-
phrosyne and in many hundreds
of homes throughout the country
one or more members of it have
received their education and life
training under her guidance, and
in each one of these homes a ST.
lent tear and an humble prayer
will be the tribute to the memory
of a noble woman, who gave her
life and all il contained to a no.

FEDERAL INDOOR GAMES.
Things Shaping Up for Big Meet
in February.

With at least six Olympic champions
competing with several Olympic officials
and with all the distances measured in
meter, the sixth renewal of the federal
indoor games in Convention Hall, Feb
rCary 10, 1909. will! be unique in the ath-
letic annals of the east. Preliminary
plans for holding the games were COM
peted yesterday.
Ii is the plan of the management to
make the events as much of an Olympic
revival as is practicable indoors, and for
that reason the sprints. middle and long
distance runs and relay races will be
measured in meters instead of yards. This
will be the first time in the history OF
indoor athletics in this country that such
q system of measurement has been adopt
ed. and the time made by the winners in
some of the events will stand for national
records. In the middle and long distance
events the quarter-mile run has been
changed to 400 meters, the half-mile run
TO 500 meters and the one-mie runs to
Loo meters. These are the same dis
tsnces that were run in the London Olym-
pics, and the spectators will have an op-
portunity to compare the speed Of the
winners with the work of the Olympic
champions.
For the benefit of the athletes of the
south who have been giving so much at
tention to cross-country running this fall
and winter a three-thousand meter run
mas Deeu duOeU 10 tne program, ana IL IS
believed that this will be one of the best
filled events on the program.
There will be sixteen individual events
on the program, nine of which will be for
schoolboys In eight of the latter events
the school scoring the greatest number of
points will he awarded the University of
Pennsylvania trophy cup. Mercersburg
Academy won the trophy last year by
biz margin. and although this year with
out Stipp and Hall, star point winners.
they expect to repeat last years vic
tory. -
Twelve relay races are on the program
including the grade school, Junior club
and midget championships and match
races between big colleges and club
teams.
The complete list Of individual events is
as follows:
Scholastic (all scratch)-JO-meter DASH
grade schools; Jo-meter dash, novice; 80
meter dash, open: 50-meter hurdle, open;
iOo-meter run, open; 600-meter rum
