PROF. M'EWAN MAKES GOOD.

1t is really pleasure for the
Mail to add it's endorsement and
hearty approval to the class of
entertainment given by the truly
great McEwan at the Electric
Theatre last evening. So many
so-called magicians of Albini's
calibre are continually inf1icting
themselves on the public that
when a really first-class man like
MCEWen comes to town the
people are justly skeptical. How
ever, McEver played to a full
house on his initial night and last
night the crowd was even larger.
We predict standing room only
tonight. There is nothing cheap
nor vulgar about his entertain
ment, and if you don't think
you've got Your moneys worth
when the show is over we will
put in with you.

M'GRAW-RISER.

Last Tuesday evening Miss
Lillian Riser, head waitress at
Fred Harvey's local establish
ment was joined in wedlock to
Mr.. John McGraw, one of Gal
lup's enterprising business men.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. M. F. Ault, pastor of the
NJ. E. Church and was witnessed
by number of the friends of the
bride and groom. After a boun-
tiful repast served in the main
dining room ofthe Harvey House,
the happy couple left for Albu-
querque on their honeymoon, af-
ter which they will make their
home in Gallup. Just as a re-
m1nder some of the friends OF the
young couple proceeded to deco
rate the trunks and other bag
gage OF the newly welded pair;
old shoes, rice, silk ribbons and
other adornments being much in
evidence as the baggage car was
being loaded, The Mail extends
congratulations.
