WILL Be ON OCTOBER FIRST
Opening of Series of Public Lee
tures Under Archaeological
School.

The School of American Archaeol-
ogy will this week present the first
of series of public lectures by men
who have achieved fame through their
researches in various parts of the
world These lectures will be given
free to the public and all are invited
to attend.
Next Saturday evening Dr. Lewis
b. Patton, formerly director of Ameri.
can School of Oriental Study and Re-

ogy located here, will deliver in Santa
Fe his lecture on Palestine Before
the Hebrew Conquest"
All those interested in the study
of the Bible lands and of Palestine
of the days of Abraham, will have a
rare opportunity of hearing at first
hand the results Of the latest archae
illogical discoveries bearing directly
on the Old Testament.
While in Palestine DR.. Patton stud
led the archaeological work of the
| English, Germans and Austrians, ant
! also conducted excavations on hi.
own account at Jerusalem and Sidon
1t may be taken for granted tha
he will present the latest and best
thought on his subject and will shet
much important new light on many
points in the Old Testament.
The lecture will be illustrated with
lantern slides made from origina
photographs taken during the course
of DR.. Paton's recent archaeological
work in the Holy Land and this oppor
tunity of learning what's what about
the Old Testament from one who has
been on the ground and who has made
a first hand study of the subject is
so unusual that large audience is
anticipated.

ANNUITY OF HUNDRED HERR
INGS FOR EACH WIDOW

Norway, Maine, Sept. 27.-In one
place in the United States at least
widows and maiden ladies are in ia
vor. Nor is there talk of tax on bach
elors. One hundred of the largest
and most tender herring is the annul'
ty offered to all widows residing
within the confines of the town OF
Pembroke.
1t is a time-honored custom and its
origin is beyond recall of the Oldest
inhabitants memory. But the Gus
tom is faithfully obeyed and at the
end of the years run, fully fifty WON
en- claim their share.
The weirs are town property and
the law providing that 10000 herring
be taken from each seasons catch
and returned to the lake is rigidly OBJ
served. But whoever of the 1850 res
idents of the two towns may find
himself deprived of his share, the
widows are certain of obtaining theirs
John LIE Fargo is in charge of the
fishing and he sees to 1t that every
householder gets all the herring he is
entitled to, always with an eye to i
that no widow is overlooked on the
extra hundred.
at is not charity" he says. "Tht
way we look to it is that large tender
herring is about the best the tow
can offer without charge, and in the
old days it must have been quite ;
! help to a widow to have such guam
tity of ever ready food on hand. TIL
custom is honored and no one care
to break It,"

An indication of the caliber of the
members of the constitutional conven.
tion can be cleaned from the fact that
two judges of the Territorial Supreme
Court are members and one of these
is the veteran jurist, Hon Frank w
Parker who comes as delegate from
Dona Ana county, his home being in
Las Cruces.
Hon. Frank Wilson Parker, presid
ing judge of the third judicial district
was born in Sturgis, Michigan, DC,
tober 16, 1860. He was son OF
James Wilson and Maria Antoinette
(Thompson) Parker.
Having completed a high school
course in his native city, he afterward
pursued an elective course in the lit.
erary department of the University of
Michigan in conjunction with the
study of law, and was graduated from
the law department of that institu.
ton in March 1885, He then opened
an Office for practice in his native
town and followed his profession there
for little more than year.
On October /, 1881, Judge Parker
coming to New Mexico, located at So
corro, and month later was exam.
ined by committee and admitted to
practice. He first settled at Mesilla
then the county seat of Dona Ana
county, where he maintained his Office
for a year. In the fan of 1882 he
moved to Kingston, Sierra county, a
mining town then enjoying a boom.
In May 1883 he removed to Hills
