said Solomon Luna OF Albuquerque, y.
Mex. at the New Willard last night. Mr..
Luna, is a Republican national commit
teeman. and has been in New York on
business.
New Mexico IS a Republican Terri
tory as IS amply shown By the COM
pexiOn Of our legislature, which IS over
wnelmingly Republican. Both, the Re-
publican as well as the Democratic.
parties have embodied the admission OF
New Mexico TO Statehood in their re-
spective platforms. and there is no good
reason why New Mexico should not come
into her own az this session.
We have school houses; we have splen-
did roads and population, as well as
wealth, 10 entitle US 20 Statehood
The tax valuation OF New Mexico is
between 100000 and $40OOOO,O00 and FOR
this reason alone it should be lef, to
rs to provide for the future Of the Terri
tory and elect our own officers"
Mr.. Luna said that Gov. Curry had re
signed for personal reasons and that
there was absolutely nothing against
him. He said that there were over thirty
/ candidates 20 Al Gov. Curry's place, but
/ that he himself had absolutely no idea
/ who the successful candidate would be.
Il was further said that Gov Curry, af-
1 ter his retirement from Office, would en-
I bark in private enterprises.
Henry s. Hemper. OF Philadelphia, who
was seen at the Raleigh last night. had
this 10 say about evening clothesI
! Whenever I get into evening dress I am
| reminded OF a story I once read about
! French lady who lived in Paris.
This lady had a lovely figure. whose
/ beauty she sought 10 enhance by tight
lacing. II she were going out at night
/ she used to lace before dinner. because
| ~ she waited until after dinner. why then
| she could not get herself down 70 where
/ she wanted 70. So she used to lace and
/ then eat sparingly. One night when she
/ had got herself down particularly fine
/ she was going to make her dinner on
dozen raw oysters. which she thought
would be nOurishing and satisfying, and
az the same time easy 70 eat and not
/ bulky. AS she laced she looked forward
I 70 these oysters waiting for her longinglys
[ for she was as hungry as forty cats.
But do you know that hungry as she
( was when she came 20 the oysters she
I couldn't eat them al all. She knew that
II she did. something would have 70 give
way. She managed TO eat eight Of them
all right. and she ate the ninth. the tenth.
the eleventh, but those last three she
ate with a growing consciousness that
she was perilOusly close to the limit,
and when she had eaten the eleventh. she
knew that she must stop; and go she was
compelled 70 turn from that last oyster
and leave IL on the plate Uneaten. Such
a sacrifice she was compelled 10 make
for the sake OF what she conceived 10 be
d perfect waist.
We'll. when I get into my dress suit,
am not quite so bad of as the French
lady in the story; not quite, but pretty

since then my figure has increased. it
