inspection Of Troops.
Adiutant General A. S. Brookes will
leave Santa Fe next Tuesday for Las
Cruces to inspect the New Mexico
National Guard He will be gone three
or four days. On Monday before
leaving he will inspect Company F
here and all the men are expected to
be at the armory and have their
equipment with them.
Use of Armories.
Adiutant General Brookes is pre-
pairing an order with regard to the
use of armories. 1t is understood
that the adjutant general does not op-
pose leasing the armories certain
evenings for festivals or for dancing
classes, when they are properly con-
Quoted, because revenues from such
sources are considered desirable, but
turning armories into skating rinks
is said to meet with his disapproval
The order will be awaited with much
interest throughout the territory.
Taking Bar Examination.
Seven young attorneys were busy
this morning taking a bar eXamina-
ton at the capitol. Several more
NAV arrive today or tomorrow. The
questions were prepared by the ter
ritcrial board of bar examiners.
Enforce Vaccination.
The trustees of the Spanish-Amer,
fcan Normal School have requested
Doctor Stetson, who is the health of
fcer of Rio Arriba county, to have
all the children in the schools of Ell
Rito vaccinated as required by law;
and Doctor Stetson has authorized
Doctor Mccormack of Espanola to
perform that duty. This is pre-
cautionary measure. The form of rash
which has been prevalent in the north
of the Territory, and which is gener.
ally called chickenpoX, is not usually
dangerous, and leaves no scar, but ii
has been feared that it might
develop into something more serious
if not checked in time.
