From Albuquerque journal
The bill now before congress for the
admission of New Mexico to state
hood provides that the United States
government shall donate to the new
state, among other things, two million.
acres Of the best public uands within
the present territorial limits, to be US
ed by sale or lease, for the payment
Of all the territorial, county, and mu-
nicipal debts, of New Mexico existing
at the time of the passage of the act.
It is possible, and many well-inform-
ed persons regard it as entirely prob
able, that this bill will pass at the
present short session of congress.
The republican national platform
pledges the party to the admission of
the two remaining continental terri
tories without delay, the president is
earnestly in favor of it, and The pres
ident-elect is equally friendly to the
proposition, and is desirious of having
the question disposed of and out of
the way before he takes office, hence
those who believe the bill will be
passed at the present short session
are not without what would seem to
be good foundation for such an opin-
ion.
The people Of Albuquerque are con
sidering the issuance of three humid
red dollars worth of bonds for b con-
struction Of a eve system, and the
Journal then goes on to say that now
is the time to get busy and issue the
bonds at once, in order to have Uncle
Sam pay the bill out of b proceeds
Of the sale of the territorial public
lands that Uncle Sam Is to donate to
the territory for just such purposes.
Well, the Record has not a YER
strenuous belief that the statehood
bin viii be passed in the near future.
but we are Just as willing to be shown
as the next person, and we will also
acknowledge that 1t would be a mighty
nice thing for the indebtedness of the
City Of Roswell and the County OF
Chaves to be lifted on our shoulders
by our Uncle Samuel. So here's hop

papers are the best mediums. The N.

the case in his canvass for men for
the army. When magazines and other
means of advertising were used, the
men secured were not sufficient to
keep the army up anyways near the
strength allowed by law, the total
strength Of the army usually running
from twenty to thirty thousand men
below the desired number, but by the
use of newspaper advertising, the
army has been recruited up to prac-
ideally the maximum strength per-
mitted by Congress.

The new incumbent of the see of York
does not owe his success wholly to force OF
character, however. tor the element Of luck
played a considerable part in his destiny.
He happeped to be appointed some years
ago to a little church at Portsea. not far
from Osborne House. where he attracted
tho attention OF Queen Victoria by his work
among the poor. He had organized a Wig
orOus society for making the local church
attractive to the working classes and his
straight talks were reported to the queen.
One day the queen spoke 10 the young
vicar about his work. Why don't you get
marriedg' suggested her majesty. "A good
wife is better than half a dozen curates.

DIR. Lang is a fine orator and is never at
a loss hor words. He holds his audiences
better than most English speakers and has
a direct. incisive style that reaches the
mark. He is wonderfully apt at compost
tiOn, and in this connection an amusing
story is told concerning one Of his oxford
examinations. One day in a classroom he
was suddenly called upon for a philosophical
thesis which he had not thought OF prepar-

To the queens surprise the young vicar
refused her counsel with the characteristic
reply:
Il, l have a cuTate I do not like 1 can
send him away. But such is not the case
with a wife" He subsequently became the
queens chaplain.
From Portsea DIR. Lang went to Stepney
as suffragan bishop. having been "callCd'
to that district through the influence OF his
close friend, DIR. Ingram. the pre- sent bishop
OF London. DR.. Lang was not long In Step

ing a sharp contrast between the conduit n
OF the rich and poor. and he slated" the
well-dressed women Of his congregation for
their extravaganza. Among other things

great composure and begen to read from a
manuscript. The eXamirer was so pleased
with the essay that he asked the author TO
permit him to copy certain passages. To
his antonishment, however, he found the
pages OF the supposed manuscript" abso-
lutely blank. The stueent had composed his
essay extemporaneously.
In addition TO his East End adventures
the archbishop has had much experience as
a prison chaplain. He shocked the world
OF the elite recently by comparing the young
Oxford undergraduates to the men he had
had to visit in prison. THE difference be-
tween them" he said. sis simply one of
privileges. opportunities and social habits. .
He also said that young society women

classes who give way to intemperance.
