THE SECOND CONCERT
OF THE APOLLO CLUB.

The second concert of the Apollo
Club to be given at the Christian
church tonight promises to be rare
treat for the music lovers of Roswell.
The Club presents one of the best
known artists of today, Mr.. Arthur
Middleton, Basso. Mr.. Middleton has
an enviable reputation among the
greatest singers of America. He mas
been associated with the greatest mus
ical organizations of the country, such
as the Handel and Hayden Society of
Boston, the Cincinnati May Festival,
the Chicago Apollo Club, and the
Thomas Orchestra when touring the
principal cities of the U. S. The peo-
pie OF Roswell do not often have an
opportunity of hearing one Of his
class even when away from Roswell.
Much less in OUT own midst. There
fore, this concert should be attended
by everyone who likes good music.
Everybody come and let us give
the Club to know we are in sympathy
with this work and Mr.. Middleton to
know that we gladly welcome him
and appreciate his talent.

THE BATTLE SHIP FLEET
HAS REACHED MANILA

Manila, Oct. 2.-Met by half hun
dred excursion steamers and launch
es and cheered by thousands, the At
lantic Battle Ship Fleet steamed slow
ly into Manila Bay this afternoon and
sailed majestically across the battle
field where Dewey and his men had
their historical fight with the Spanish
fleet ten years ago, and dropped an
chor off the city. AS the ships anch-
ored General Weston, the military
commander in this city sent mess
age by wireless conveying the greet
ings of himself. his offic ers and the
men of the army to Admiral Sperry
and his men.
Governor General Smith witnessed
the arrival of the Fleet from his
launch, where ne ntertained a large
party of officials. He will probably pay
his official visit to the Connecticut to-
morrow morning when Manila's well
cone to the sailors will be rendered
in the form of a great water parade.

DEMOCRATS SHOW ENTHUSIASM
AT MokER OF BRYAN-LARRA
ZOLO CLUB LAST NIGHT
BRYAN'S VOICE Is HEARD
SPEECHES of the Great Commoner Re-
produced by Photograph to the De-
light of the Audience-Many Local
Speakers Take Part in the Program
ections.

If there ever was an enthusiastic
political meeting in Roswell it was
the Democratic rally of the Bryan-Lar
razolo Club in Democratic .Headquar-
ters in the Gaullieur Block last night.
The spacious rooms formerly occu-
pied by the Commercial Club were
filed to overf1owing and the enthus-
iasm was so great the Democrats were
not content to leave until nearly mid
night. 1t was a regular love feast.
The party spirit was everywhere man
ifest. The program was made out
with many speakers, but the inten-
ton was to call on as many as the
guests desired to hear. Nearly all
had to respond and this goes to show
the interest of the occasion.
Judge Gatewood, as president of
the club, presided over the first part
Of the meeting, later giving his place
to G. c. Hill, vice-l/esident. Both of
these gentlemen made Introductory
speeches. The feature of the program
was the voice of VIM: !. Bryan, re-
produced by means of a phonograph
and giving extracts from some of his
speeches made since he was nominal
ed at Denver. His talk on THE Ideal
Republic" Campaign Contributions
and kindred subjects were especially
entertaining. An extract, ''Imm ortali-
ty of the Soul" from the Comm oner's s
