New York--The Hon Secretary, q
Cape buffalo and two bisons OF the
Central park menagerie were shipped
to William Bartels Of Newark recent
~. for consideration. which included
two eelands. two tapirs and q pair Of
ostriches.
It was one OF the busiest afternoons
Headkeeper Snyder and his assistants
ever put In, but finally all the animals,
In their respective shipping cages.
were loaded on wagons and carted
away.
Everything went smoothly until the
attempt was made to inveigle Score
tary. who was born In the lion house
about seven years ago. into his ship
ping cage. Secretary did not want to
go. and It took an hour and q quarter
Of pushing, pulling and fighting to
overcome the spirit Of one Of the
meanest lions in the menagerie.
With all the doors and windows
barred, and hundreds of persons sur
rounding the lion house, the work OF
getting Secretary from his cage was
begun. Rose and Bismarck, the mother
and father Of Secretary, In adjoining
cages. dashed themselves into q fury
while their big offspring was hurting
himself against the bars of his cage
in an endeavor to get at the keepers.
The lion did not care to march into
the trap. He would put his head In
the ope.- door Of the shifting cage.
snuR once or twice. and with a great
roar would lurch against the bars and
rush to the rear Of his cage.
After half an hour Of prodding had
shown that the animal could not be
transferred that way into the cage,
BILL" Snyder decided to try moose.
By this time the lion had worn itself
out, and was lying in q corner as do
Gle as cat.
The moose was slipped over Secre-
tary's head, and then, while three
men pulled and three men pushed, and
BILL" did the bossing, In went the
lion. like lump Of lead. to the fur
thermost part Of the transferring cage.
The beast was SO exhausted it could
not move.
This lion, named Secretary because
he seemed to have an interest In
everything transporting In every other
cage In the lion house. has been the
first always to announce the daily ra-
tons and the last to subside when
anything unusual had happened to
mar the serenity of his surroundings.
"Bil" said he was sorry to part with
him. but there would soon have to be
some room made for the three cubs.
He weighs In the neighborhood Of 400
pounds. and was considered one Of the
best specimens in the Central park col
lection. His value Is said to be about
81, 700.
The two eelands were received at
the zoo earlier In the afternoon. They
arc the only ones In the Central park
collection. In the last ten days two Of
these animals have been received by

Thanksgiving Ball

The Thanksgiving ball brought
together the largest party that
has attended a dance in Alamo
gurdo in quite a long while. The
armory had been tastefully dec
Grated by Mesdames Will Il.
Pelphrey and Bert Levy and pre-
sented a pleasing appearance.
Many compliments were passed
upon the skill and taste Of the
ladies as decorators. In addition
to taste, they also worked hard,
for it is no simple task to deco
rate that big room.
The music was good and every
one seemed to spend a delight
full evening. Dancing was con.
tinued until one o'clock. Punch
was served.

MANY VISITORS WH|RL
AROUND THE WORLD
Entertainment Last Saturday De-
cided Success
SUBSTANTIAL SUM
WAS REALIZED

The unique entertainment
given last saturday afternoon
and evening by the teachers aud
pupils of the public schools and
the New Mexico Institute for the
Blind, proved Il most agreeable
surprise to everybody. Those
who gave the entertainment
were surprised at the large
crowds in attendance anI the
general interest displayed, while
the spectators were surprised at
the excellence of the many fea-
lures.
The parade formed at the high
school building and moved down
lOth street at half past two
O'Clock, with the band, composed
principally of Mexican boys, at
the head. A stop was made be
tween New York and Michigan
avenues, and several airs render
ed by the band. From the time
the parade disbanded until half
past eight in the evening, there
was big stream of sight-seers
moving from one booth to anoth-
er. Failing to anticipate the
enormous demand that would be
made for dainty things to eat
and delicious drinks, every booth
had its supply exhausted, and
was compelled to disappoint the
visitors who called after half past
seven.
The booths were beautifully
and appropriately decorated, and
the ladies and girls in attendance
were attired in costumes typical
of the nations which they repre-
sented. Altogether, it was an
entertainment of which the
sponsors might justly feel proud.
The features were all pleasing to
the many visitors, and the pupils
of the schools received many
valuable ideas as to the manners,
dress and customs of Mexico,
Japan, and Colonial Boston.
Not to omit the money side,
the entertainment was q fnan-
cial success. Mexico lead with
receipts of $4l.S5, Japan next
with $26.68, and Boston $25.82.
The amount of net profit was
SAT 40. This amount will be ap-
piled on the balance due OH the
piano which was bought last
session for the main building,
leaving small balance of $3.50
still to be paid.

The case against Oliver Carr,
under an indictment alleging
the smuggling of Chinese, was
settled without trial. The de-
fendant entered a plea of guilty
and was sentenced tn pay fine
of one thousand dollars. The
government bears the costs in
the case. The defendant is al
lowed until December q to pay
the fine. Ii the fine is paid by
that time, the perjury case will
bn dismissed.
The only jury trial up to noon

United States vs.. Perry j. Spen-
GER, of Quay county, under All

diet of guilty., but recommended
the defendant to the clemency
of the court.

afternoon, the grand jury had re-
turned two true bills and two no

a Chinese smuggling ease. have
materially shortened the term.

the States will be permanent,
not tran,itory, as would have
been the case if hasty and i'm

permitted. According to the cal.
