ROOSEVELT NOT TO STAY
0NG In NARI e

Naples. Italy, April 3.-Disappoint-
ment is keenly felt here owing to the
news that Roosevelt will not be able
to spend the expected two days in this
city. Preparations for his reception
have been made ON grand scale in
the hope that the former president
could stay two days, and the report
that he will be here but a few hours,
caused genuine sorrow. The Ham
burg will arrive Monday.
1t is doubtful if Roosevelt will meet
the Duchess of Aosti, as his stay will
be short. The perfect of police has
ordered picked carbineers 20 guard

burg Monday Afternoon, to prevent a
possible break OF the peace as well as

FIRE AT PORTALES TO-DAY

Special to the Record
Portales, April 3.-One frame and
three brick, one-story business hous-
es were totally destroyed by fire at
5: 80 this morning, with a total loss of
$4,000, partly covered by insurance.
The cause of the fire is not known.
Further loss was prevented by the
good work of the PortaleS Fire De
partment, with its new fire engine,
which today paid for itself many times
over.
The fire started in the frame build
ing, which was occupied by a confec-
tionery store. 1t spread rapidly to the
adjoining building. which was the To-
cation of the store of Miller & LUX
art, the largest dry goods firm of Por-
tales. From there it spread to build
ings of the Portales Grocery and Por-
tales Trading Company. All were a
total loss, except the walls of the
three brick buildings. The frame build
ing was formerly known as the Com
mercial Hotel. Nothing was saved out
of the confectionery store. Nearly all

Resolutions of Coincidence

Whereas, the Benevolent Father of all, in
His infinite wisdom has seen lit to call our be-
loved and worthy companion, James n. Titus,
from his labors among Us, it remains for US to
pay our respects to his memory, 1t being the
las; and most we can do in the face of the in
exorable summons, which soon or late is serv-
ed upon us all.
Companion Titus has long been a faithful
and ardent worker in Cypress Chapter, No.
So. K. A. NJ, and while lately absent from
among US, he was for many years a regular
attendant and earnest worker in the Chapter.
His loss will be Keenly felt, and only the lapse
of time will serve to accustom US to the lose
of his presence among US and his wise counsel
at our meetings.
To the relatives q nd friends of our deceased
companion, we extend our heartfelt sym
PATTY. in the perfect assurance that He,
whose will has been done in the death of our
brother. 10 guiding us all for the best; and
that. in time to come, we shall assemble about
the altar. by the wisdom of the supreme
High Priest, and receive the wages which are
justly due. Fraternally submitted,

After that frost and freeze the

we notice the first cutting is going
to be fair one with lots of time
for more before winter.
When back east last week we no.
ticed that the people all along the

conditions. Many farmers are Just
planting corn and their wheat
doesn't look any better than it does
here. Our alfalfa is up with their
clover but our buffalo grass doesn't
compare with their blue grass.
Before we forget it we want to
go on record as raising the general
average of the wheat crop in this
locality. The recent rains have
worked wonders, many fields that
didn't look as though they would
be worth cutting are now going to
make fair crops. The fellows that
had the wheat crop killed are now
on a back seat. We have our crop
killers every year but the old set
tiers go right on raising crops.

NEWSPAPER FALLIBILiTY

Now and again It is worth gratifica-

over an edition with only a blunder
or two charged up against the account.
Many a thing is railroaded when "thir.

that the copy reader and the proc.
reader give a sigh approaching Il
prayer of thanksgiving when there Is
not an outraged subscriber who calls

The public will believe that all such
blunders can be escaped. They will
believe that the newspaper does not
do these things Intentionally, until the
mistake happens to hit them.
Therefore the words of the New
York Evening Post are as ba.m on the
tangled nerves:
when we consider that Hudson did
not discover New York bay. but that
Verrazzano did; when we consider that
Fulton did not invent the steamboat.
but that Fitch did, when we consider
that Bell did not invent the telephone,
that Morse did not invent the tele-
graph. that Gutenberg did net invent
the printing press. that Morton did not
discover anaesthesia, that Darwin did
not discover evolution, that Shakes
peare did not write Hamlet" that
Homer did not write the "Iliad." that
Calico did not say And still it
moves" that Wellington did not say
up guards and at Them that Wash
ington did not win the battles of the

create the reign of terror, that Nero
was not a monster, that Cleopatra was
not beautiful-when we reflect that
