Lecture Course

Those who heard Roselth Knapp Breed
in her program of humorous readings on
Thursday evening last, agreed that she
kept up the high standard which has been
set by the two previous entertainments
of this Winters Lecture Course. Much
charm of personality and genuine talent
are required to hold the interest of an
audience through an entire solo program,
and no higher tribute can be paid to
Mrs. Breed than to say she had close at
tention of her hearers from her first word
to her last. Her character work was ex-
tremely enjoyable, and in all her numbers
she showed a refreshing originality of
treatment and a spontaneity OF thought
and action which make her worthy of her
title of Boston's Greatest Woman HUI
morist.
The program was augmented by mu-
steal numbers by Mrs. G. NJ. Powers and
Miss Marjorie Gates. Mrs. Powers, ac-
companied by Madame Hill, rendered a
charming waltz song, and responded to
a hearty encore with dainty little selec-
ton 4 Know A Little Girl" 1t has been
some time since Mrs. Powers has been
heard in her home town, and the audi
ence greeted her enthusiastically. Miss
Gates gave as her piano solo Liszt's
"Liebestraum," and responded to a well
deserved encore.

TRIUMPH OF DREYFUS

Fifteen years ago today Captain AL
fred Dreyfus was convicted by court
martial for the second time on the
charge of selling French military sec
rets to foreign powers. 1t was one OF
the most sensational trials of the age,
during which it was alleged that the
peace of Europe was threatened
through the "Dreyfus affair." The YER
dict brought vigorous protests from
9he entire civilized world which was
convinced of the captains innocence.
Arrested five years before, he had
been convicted by his superior officers
at a court martial, degraded before
army comrades, transported to DEVILS
Island to expiate the alleged crime,
aad had been, through the efforts of
influential friends, brought back to
France for re-trial. The eyes Of the
world were turned upon the court at
Eennes, where the Semetic army Off
Ger, the first Hebrew ever to have en-
tered the staff of the French army, was
battling for his honor. Four hundred
Journalists, from the four corners of
the earth, rubbed elbows with society
women, some Of whom had paid as
much as s400 for seat Sensation
followed sensation during the trial; but
none was more startling than that tes-
kimony given by General Mercier, the
FORMER minister of war. He averred
that during the Dreyfus affair, the
German ambassador at Paris had de
ffered an imperative demand that GER

en- from the German embassy. be re-
turned to Germany. From s o'clock, +"
said the general while the audience
hung breathless on his revelation of
a crisis in the destiny of France. "un-
til after midnight the president of the
republic. the prime minister. and l,
waited to know whether war or peace
would be the outcome of the negotia-
ticns. We were within hair 'sbreadth
of war"
Today Dreyfus is not only a free
man, but he has been restored to the
French army with great public cere-
mony. A captain when degraded, he
now is a major in a crack artillery
regiment that usually is detailed to all
state functions. Suffering the great
est of humiliations for soldier for IL
years. he today is fully cleared by of
fetal proclamation of the charge Of
treason, and has been honored with
the distinction of commander of the
Legion of Honor. His champions dur
ing his time of trouble have likewise
been honored. Zola, the great French
author. who suffered Imprisonment for
his fiery defense of Dreyfus, is now
dead. but the republic honorei his
memory by placing his body in the
Pantheon, the burial place of the great
soldiers of France. Picquart, brother
officer. then with the rank of colonel,
who was cashiered from the army for
defending Dreyfus, was restored with
all honors and promoted to the rank
Of brigadier general. Dreyfus' enc
mics have been confounded. Colonel
Henry, formerly connected with the
war office, is dead by his own
hand, after having confessed to forg-
ing Dreyfus' name to a document that
helped to send him to Devils Island
Major Esterhazy has publicly confes-
sed through the London Chronicle that
he wrote the bordereau, the famous
document which more than anything
else brought about the conviction for
treason against Dreyfus. Esterhazy is
now an exile from France, though not
subject to official punishment through
a recent amnesty law which pardons
all offenders against the state up to
the year 1911. Today the war with
Germany has come about, but not
through the Vaccinations of the Drey-
fus affair Drefus' son is fighting for
France on the firing line, and was re-

HERNANDEZ HAS
RECORD WORTH
While
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR
CONGRESS WILL MAKE A GOOD
REPRESENTATIVE

Benigno c. Hernandez is native Of
New Mexico, and having spent his
life in the state, understands its his
tory and it's needs. He was born at
the quaint old town of Taos, February
IL. 1862, the son of Juan Jose and
Manuela C. Hernandez.
The subject of this sketch gained
his education at private schools OF
his native town, and on his graduation
from school, entered one of the lead
ing mercantile institutions of Taos, re-
naming there until 1889, when he
moved to Oio Caliente, Taos county,
and engaged in business for himself.
He remained at this place until 1895
when he went to Lumberton in Rio
Arriba county and engaged in mercan-
tile business. He acted as probate
clerk for the county, until January
1905. He served as sheriff of the
county of Rio Arriba during the years
1905 and 1906. From 1909 to 1911 he
was treasurer and ex-officio collector
for the county. During the time he
was engaged in the public service, he
was also engaged in the mercantile
business as a member of the Amador
Mercantile company at TERRA Amar-
lila, and is at the present time a
member of that firm.
Recognizing his sterling qualities
and his ability as public official,
the national administration appointed
him to the position of receiver of
public monies at the United States
land office, with quarters at Santa Fe.
This position he held from August 1,
1912 to March /, 1914, when he re-
signed his position, as the administra-
ton had changed and not being in
sympathy with it, he felt it to be his
duty to resign, returning to his home
and entering aagin, actively into the
mercantile business. Mr.. Hernandez
was delegate to the republican ma
tional convention at Chicago, in June,
1912.
Honorable, and honored by all who
know him best, Benigno G. Hernandez
is sure to get the support of the think
ing voters of the state. His method
of conducting the office of receiver in
the land office won him the respect
and confidence of all with whom he
was brought in contact. He will be a
worthy representative of the people of
New Mexico in the United States con-
gress.

credit by the cooperative and sympa-

the railroads be relieved as far as pos
sible of further immediate burdens
involving additional expense.
THAT the president will urge a
practical recognition of the fact that
an emergency is on the railroads
which requires in the public interest,
that they have an additional revenue
and that the appropriate government
al agencies seek a way by which such
additional revenues may be properly
and promptly provided"
