INSTALS JOASH CHEST.
Chicago Church Reaps Rich Harvest
From Self Denial of Parish
toner's.

Chicago, Nov. 29,-The Forty-ninth
Avenue Methodist Episcopal church
has started a kitty" Only it is not
called kitty" but "Joash Chest 1t
was named in honor of Biblical
character, who took chest as the
story reads in II Kings, and Bored
a hole in the lid and set it beside the
altar and there received all money
that people brought into the house of
the Lord" Nearly five hundred dol
lars was dropped into the kitty at
the services yesterday, as the result
of one month OF self denial on part
of the donors. One sad man had ta-
booed cigars for month, and his
wad was goodly. Walks instead of
street car rides. buns cut out of the
meal, the purchase of much
desired gloves postponed, were some
CT the factors that made the offerings
possible. The offerings will be used
in re-decorating the church.

ALBERT 7. PATRICK
SPLITS HAIRS
Appears in Appellate Court
to Argue for His
Freedom
ON CONSTITUTIONAL GROUNDS
Claims That He Has Already Suf-
fered Full Penalty for
His Crime.

New York, Nov. 29--Albert T.
Patrick, whose sentence to death for
the murder of William Marsh Rice
was commuted to life Imprisonment
at Sing Sing, appeared before the
appellate division of the supreme.
court at Brooklyn today to argue
that within the law he has already
suffered death and has thus paid his
debt to the state in full and should
be set free. Patrick contends that
solitary confinement preceding cleo
trocution has been held by the Uni
ted States supreme court to be part
of the penalty decreed in the death
sentence He served this time in full
and now makes the point that when
the court of appeals reaffirmed the
decision of the court of conviction
and set new date for execution, it
transgressed his constitutional rights
in ordering him to serve another per-
iod of solitary confinement, thereby
duplicating the punishment he al
ready had received. @

DEVELOP PMENT Of
FORT SUMNER
Superintendent of Public
Instruction Clark Thinks
Ii Marvellous
PR0GRESSIVENESS AND PLUCK
Soil Is Fertile, Water Plentiful
and Prospects for Future
Bright.

Superintendent Of Public Instruction
J. f. Clark has returned from a visit
to Fort sumner, Guadalupe county
aud La Lande. Roosevelt county. At
Fort Sumner he attended the sessions
OF the Guadalupe County Teachers As
sociation and made an address in
which he dwelt on the advantage of
school districts uniting for public
school work, rather than dividing into
smaller districts. A division means
dissipation Of money and energy. SUI
perintendent Clark was pleased with
the enthusiasm of the teachers, some
of whom drove overland fifty miles in
order to attend the meeting. and with
the hospitality of the people of Fort
Sumner who had conveyances ready
al the depot for visitors and convey
ances for showing the Pecos valley
and who also gave a delightful public
reception at the hotel for the teach
ers at which light refreshments were
served.
superintendent Clark is much i'm
pressed with the fertility and prospects
of the Fort Sumner valley. To his as
tonishment he found some of the best
kept and titled farms he had ever Wis
tied in New Mexico Such places as
those owned by Doctor Radcliffe of
Belen, Frank Manzanares and others
were show places in every sense of
the word. The soil is excellent and l..
200 to / 400 acres are under cultiya-
tion while about 5000 acres are under
bitches. Land sells from 800 to $135
an acre and this is sold only upon con-
dition that it will be actually titled
within a certain time limit The tracts
sold are from 10 to 1G0 acres in size,
although preference is given to pur-
.chasers of small farms for intensive
farming. This years crops were ex-
cellant. Hundreds of acres are in al
falfa and thousands of fruit trees are
being set out. There are two bitches,
high line and a low line ditch. 1t is
apparent that canals and lateTals are
well planned and laid out, The high
line ditch is filled by a pumping plant
at Fort Sumner which lifts the water
ten feet The townsite is laid out
around a beautiful lake and lots are
being sold at from 800 to $3.50 piece.
Mr.. Clark is certain that Fort Sumner
will make a good town especially if the
dispute with Sunnyside over postofice
and name is settled
Mr.. Clark also paid a visit to the
public schools at La Lande and tn.
Holiness College at that point He
found the school in excellent condition
and the prospects of La Lande, which
is also under the Fort Sumner irriga-
ton system, very promising, especially
in case. the Lake Triton project is
built The Holiness College has fifty
pupils, and a two story cement block
dormitory is going up beside the main
building. The visitors are impressed
with the perseverance and optimism
of the people and the excellent water
obtained at La Lande.
1t is significant about the Fort Sum-
ner development that the old time land
owners, mostly cattlemen of that Sec
ton, are investing heavily in the irri-
CATER lands and the development of the
town and thus attest their faith in the
country.
