NINE. NoRDIcA DELIGHTS
A MONSTER AUDIENCE

Every available seating place was
occupied in the large, new Baptis'
| church last night when Madame Lii
ian Nordica and her company of en-
tertatners gave a concert under the
| auspices OF the Apollo Club. She de
lighted practically every attendant
| carrying the audience into the moods
| of her various songs and receiving q
| storm of applause that caused her tc
almost double her program. Nordlca
came up to every expectation and was
a living refutation of the statement
Of some that her age is telling on her
voice.
The selections of Nordica were in
English, French, German INT Italian,
and 1t is hardly necessary to state
that to the average listener the Eng.
fish songs were most enjoyed 1t was
when, for encore selections, she gave
songs with which all were familiar
that the responsiveness of the aud
fence reached it's height, and when
she concluded with Dixie" the aud
fence fairly shouted and waved hand
kerchiefs in fond farewell. No one
seemed to enjoy the evening more
than the artist herself, for her liberal
responses and her m throughout
showed that she enjoyed the exhilar-
ating responsiveness Of an audience,
which, collectively, had not enjoyed
anything to equal this occasion in
years, probably never.
The beauty of Nordica's work Is
not in the excellence of her voice al
one, nor In her perfect control Of it,
but in the fact that these great
points are almost forgotten in the way
in which she throws her personality
into her singing and puts life into 1t
by gesture, facial expression and &C.
meanor, thus interpreting the song
completely. The most wonderful voice
in the world would lose its beauty
issuing from the parted lips of an in
dian cigar sign. Nordtca recognizes
this truth.
The other members of the company
were Andre Benoist, the accompanist,
whose playing far surpasses anything
ever heard IN Roswell, and VINO stands
second in artistic ability in the con,
pany: Miss Emma Showers, q young
pianist of marked ability, n Fred
rick Hastings, baritone, who ranks
high among the younger singers of
j The company left this morning for
Amarillo, where they appear tonight
The concert was attended by many
from b lower valley, the ex-
cursfon at 6:45 bringing. in probably
$50 people. Many more people were
put In the church than first planned
and as the Federated, Charities will
all monies over and above ex- |
penses, the poor of the city win no
doubt have a large benefit from the

SAYS THERE Is A "NlGGER
IN THE WooD-PILE.'

To the Roswell Daily Record:
When the teachers Of the Pecos Val
ley requested a normal school during
the session of their annual conven-
ton in Albuquerque, we thought ex-
ceedingly strange the hearty support
they received from the Albuquerque
Morning Journal and the heads of the
territorial educational institutions To-
Gated along the Rio Grande. We had
lev known them to become so sud
denly and so earnestly Interested in
the welfare of the Pecos Valley. At
the time, 1t was believed that a mig
ger was in the w~ood-pile, and that he
would eventually be shown up. b
Santa Fe New Mexican has routed him
out and declares that he is a populist.
However this may be, we believe that
the teachers, as we'll as the Albuquer-
que Morning Journal, are on a false
trail. We do not believe for a minute
that the citizens of this Territory
would consider either abandoning the
New Mexico Military Institute, or
changing 1t into a normal or any 9TH
er kind of territorial institution. AL
though 1t is the youngest of the terri
torial institutions, it has out-stripped
and advanced far beyond any of the
others. 1t is a school heavily suppirt-
ed by leading citizens all ove the

teachers to think that they could
change 1t or handicap it SO as to ben
eft the other territorial institutions.
The following is an article from the
New Mexican:
1.-THE New Mexican is Informed that
a petition Is being widely circulated
and is receiving numerous signers in
eastern New Mexico. asking the com
ing legislative assembly to abolish the
New Mexico Military Institute at Ros-
we'll and use the building for a nor
NAL school. 1t is understood hat the
socialists are behind this movement
as they have a pet theory that the
UNIFIED States can get along without
military INT naval preparations and
that states and territories ought to
have no militia and should not train
their youth in military tactics and dis
cfpline. When the great dividing up of
wealth M looting of vested rights is
to be undertaken by the socialistic
organization. the military might make
inconvenient protest. OF course, the
legislature will not listen to any prop
osition Of that kind. If eastern New
Mexico is entitled to a normal school,
ways and means will be found by the
assembly to- provide it without de-
stroying New Mexico's finest school
for boys or laying violent hands up
on any Institution SO creditable to the

CITIZEN

The Record thinks the New Mexi
can has struck the wrong trail. We
very much doubt if any such idea en
tered the heads of any person be-
hind the movement for a normal in
the Pecos Valley. and we are convinc-
ed that the petition alluded to. exists
only in the brain of the editor of the
New Mexican, a mere creation of his
frequent attacks of brain storm"
We stiL less believe that any of the
teachers Of the Pecos Valley have ev-
er entertained or considered n idea
of turning the Military Institute from
its present curse and condition into
a normal school. The idea is .prepos-
ferrous and absurd and could not be m
~tertained for an instant by any right
thinking person. The Record cordial
ly indorses all the good things said of
the Military Institute, but we must in.
sist that Citizen is unduly alarmed
and takes far too seriously the ema
nations from an over-worked brain.

of wheat and has placed them in

The corn stalk has attained a
height of some ten feet and its
growth shows great care in the
cultivation. Mr.. Stewart will have

ward a negative to the Washington
officials to show that the splendid
soil of Tonopah. when cultivated
properly, will be a boon for the
