Just lovely is her opinion of those
gasolene stoves, and she's right. In sum
mer the house is hot enough when it's
coolest, and certBinly with a coal fire,
coolness is ont of the question. Yon
have to wait for 8 coal fire and it burns
much longer than you want it. With a
gasolene stove, you get fall heat as soon
as lighted, and when you don't need it
Buy longer, the fire is out and the gaso
lene is turned off. It gives n maximum
of available heat for cooking with a
minimum of warmth to make life miser
able. Gasolene stoves cost only from $5
to 1 25.

REPUBLICANS AT CLEVELAND
Silver Champions Downed on Every
Projiosition They Advocated.
Bad Faith Cpenly Charged Resolu
tions Dodged A. 1.. Morrison

Cleveland, Ohio, Jane 21. The as
sembling of the Republican league conven
tion to-day was delayed till almost noon
by the meetings of officers of state
leagues, the new eiecutive board com
mittee on league work and others en
gaged in routine business.
Meantime, while the band was entertain
ing the waiting crowd at music hall, and
the leading anti-silver men were in confer
ence on the Patton substitute for the
usual set of resolutions. Many anti-silver
leaders, who were not members of the
much abused committee on resolutions,
were not inclined to be bound by the
oompact that committee bad entered into
in order to eztrioate itself. None were,
however, able to suggest any plan that
would prevent a minority report and the'
preoipitating of the fight on the floor of
the convention. The anti-silver mem
bers of the committee insisted that they
had made the best possible choice between
two evils and urged the delegates to stand
by the Patton substitute, rather than
bring about a worse result than its adop
tion. The silver leaders told all their
supporters to keep quiet in the conven
tion, and let the anti-silver men -
FIGHT IT OUT AMONG THEMSELVES
if the silver question was reopened by an
effort to adopt any resolutions or other
wise. The Pennsylvania delegation de
cided to stand by the platform as reported
by the oommittee.
Although many had gone home, the
music ball was filled when Gen. MoAlpine,
the new president, called the convention
to order at 11 o'clook. - The silver men
were displeased when Chairman MoAlpine
had the states called again for nomina
tions for secretary and the name of M. J.
Dowling was presented by Minnesota and
seoonded by other states. Numerous
speeches were made seconding the nomi
nations made last night. It had been
thought that J. F. Byrnes, silver advocate
from Denver, would be elected. The anti
silver men were aocused of holding a con
ference last night and agreeing - on M. J.
Dowling, of Minnesota." The silver men
insisted that nominations had been olosed
last night and that the ruling of Oen. Mo
Alpine was an arbitrary one against their
favorite. P. F. Powers, of Michigan,
preoipitated
A SCENE OF BOMB PIS08DEB
by offering a resolution to have the selec
tion of secretary referred to the execu
tive oommittee. Powers insisted that a
man of better qurliflcations could be
selected in the deliberations of the execu
tive board than in the contest in this con
vention on other grounds than those
speoial qualifications.
Judge A. L. Morrison, of New Mexico,
said that Secretary Humphrey had been
carefully selected by the exeoutive oom
mittee eight years ago and had been re
elected every year since by the conven
tions without opposition, and he consid
ered it best to have an investigation by
the executive committee before trying a
new man.
H. R. Churchill, of Colorado denounced
the resolution as intending to defeat
Byrnes and appealed to the convention,
if Byrnes must be defeated, not to do it
that way.
Mrs. J. Ellen Foster said it was a prece
dent of the Republican national oommit
tee and of the party to have such import
ant secretaries selected by the exeoutive
committees and not by eonvuntions.
BILVEB CHAMPIONS DOWNBD.
Oen. Oarr, of Illinois, who championed
Mr. Eden for secretary, held that those
who made oacvasses were not being fairly
trented. Numerous points of order were
raised on the constitutionality of the
resolution. All were overruled by Chair
man MoAlpine, who finally refused to re
cognize anyone till order was restored.
Powers finally withdrew his resolution.
8enator-elect Thurston, of Nebraska,
one of the vice presidents, then took the
chair and was given a lousing reception.
The following names were then an
nounced for ballott John F. Byrnes, of
Colorado; W. G. Eden, of Illinois) T. B.
Walter, of Nebraska; M. J. Dowling, of
Minnesota. Although Mr. Walker's name
had been withdrawn, yet he received some
votes. . .
Before the result of the ballot was an
nounced obanges were made from Byrnes
and Eden to Dowling and the letter's
election was made unanimous without a
oouut. :
The committee on resolutions reported
the following, which was adopted without
debate, although many nays were heard:
BBSOLOTIOHS DODGED,
"Whereas, Section 16 of the constitu
tion of the Republican league of the
United States says; 'This league shall not
in any manner endeavor to influence the
cation of any national, state, county or any
munioipal convention,' delegates of the
Republican league of the United States,
in convention assembled, hereby renew
their allegiance to the principles of the
Republican party and pledge their best
efforts for the suoeess of candidates of
that party , believing that this convention
has no instructions from Republioaps of
the United States or jurisdiction under
our constitution to frame party plat
forms, we hereby refer all resolutions in
relation to publio questions to the Re
publican national convention of 1896,
with entire confidence that its aetion will
redound to the prosperity of our people
and the continued glory ana auvanee
meot of our oonntrv."
This ended the silver agitation, the
mrrBemeot of the contending factions to
hare no finanoial flffht on the floor of the
convention being earned through. The
TMnlt was sreeted with applause.
The election of a treasurer was referred
to the exeoutive oommittee. The con
vention then adjourned sine die, for an
afternoon excursion on the lake and the
reception to Governor MoKinley.

The First National Bank of Mantu Fe.
UNITED STATES DEFOSITOBY CAPITAL,
$150,000.
The First National bank of Santa Fe is
the pioneer bank of New Mexioo. It was
incorporated in 1870, with a capital of
$150,000, and has, ever sinoe its organiza
tion, been closely identified with the
prosperity of Santa Fe and of New Mex
ico. The bank is a depository for funds
of the United States government, stands
deservedly high in financial circles, and
oi-.jrniHnds the entire confidence of the
people.
The bank occupies its own quarters in
a fine modern bank bnilding erected by
the management in 1882. The fittings
are heavy and rich, the offices exception
ally well lighted, the vau'ta fire and burg
lar proof; and every convenience is pro
vided for the dispatch of business mid the
accommodation of patrons.
The business of the First National bank
is oonfined strictly to recognized legiti
mate fields of banking. Advantageous
connections are maintained with the best
bauks of all the states and the eastern
cities, whioh afford exceptional facilities
for transacting business with promptness
and thoroughness. Especially does this
apply to making collections and handling
commercial paper. Exchange is bought
and sold on'tho principal cities of Europe
aud America. Money is transmitted by
telegraph to any and every point of im
portance in the United Stateeand Moxioo,
and to all the principal oities of the com
mercial world. Acceptable commercial
paper is discounted, and loans made upon
reasonable terms.
The last official statement made to the
comptroller of the currency of tht United
States, under date of May 7, 1895, shows
the First National's cash on hand and in
oanks to have been $98,72.U; surplus
and undivided profits, $32,000, and de
posits of individuals, corporations and
United States government, $239,598.

Palen, president; J. H. Vaughn, cashier;
and R. J. Palen, H. L.Waldo, V.S.Shelby,

to aooept the position of clerk of the su
preme court and of the 1st district, in
1878 he was elected assistant cashier of
the First National bank, and was subse
quently elected cashier. He has since

It may be doubted if any mercantile
firm of Santa Fe commands a larger local
and general trade in their lines than H. B.
Cartwright fc Bro. The hrm is composed
of H. B. and 8. G. Cartwright, and the
name of the firm is a guarantee of fair
and honorable dealing wherever known.
The business was founded in 1881 by
the elder brother, Mr. H. B. Cartwright,
who conducted it with unvarying suoeess
until 1893, when the present firm was
formed and succeeded to the business.
Besides its large city trade, which it re
quires two wagons to accommodate, the
house has a very extensive country trade
with ranchers living at a distance from
Santa Fe. The store is favorably located
to acoommodate its conntry patrons, and
has for years been headquarters for
farmers and ranohers visiting the oity.
The bakery is ao important feature of
the business, but the grooery and provis
ion department is of a magnitude suffic
ient to make a business of itself, the
feed and produce features, taken together,
are quite as important as thatot groceries
and provisions, i ne stock
a whole
occupies eight rooms Desiues tne Doxery,
and taken altogether is one of the largest
stooks of the kind in the west,
This is neither strictly a retail house,
nor is it in many tnings a wnoiesaie
house. It has the features of both com
bined in a manner best suited to the de
mauds of its patrons in town and coun
try. In groceries the stock includes im
ported fancy groceries as wen bb tne main
staples, the best quality of preserved,
canned, and dried California fruits, and
the choicest dairy produots obtainable.
The firm is a large buyer of hay, grain,
and country produce, and is enabled to
sell the same in carload lots or at re
tail. The Cartwriicht brothers came from
Mediopolis, Iowa, to New Mexico. H. B.
Cartwright has, besides being s promi
nent merchant, been tor a number ot
years closely identified with modern im-,
provements of the city. , He is pres
ident of the Santa Fe Telephone company,
a stockholder and direotor in the Electric
Light company, and has shown a liberal
And commendable spirit in promoting
other enterprises for the good of the city
and territory. He is also serving now
his second term as county treasurer.
The younger brother, S. U. Cartwright,
has been less than fonr years in the ter
ritory, and, while not so widely known as
the senior member of the firm, is not less
highly esteemed.
Ht. Michael's College.
OONDUOTED BY CBBI8TIAN BBOTHEBB.
A special trade edition of this paper
would be manifestly incomplete without
appropriate mention of the facilities here
offered for acquiring a commercial edu
cation. Happily, Santa Fe is in this, and
as in many other things, most fortunate.
St. Michael's college, which was estab
lished in 1859, and incorporated in 1874
with full college privileges, is a commer
cial eehool of which Santa Fe is justly
proud. A commercial school, above all else,
should be conducted upon the practical
lines a pupil will have to follow in a life
of business. It isgratlfying to note that St.
Michael's college pusaessrs this advantage
in a pre-eminent degree. Indeed, it is
hot alone k commercial college in the
common acceptation of the term, but
affords teehnioal and prHOlionl instruc
tion as well in civil engineering, drawing,
assaying, chemistry, music, the English,
French, Spanish and German languages,
telegraphy, type-writing and printing. Ia
fsot, there is reason to doubt whether
there is on the continent a commercial
college where the oorrioulum covers a
wider range of the practieal and useful.
Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
ABSOLUTELY PURE
It should be added that the primary
branches are taught, as well, and boys
may enter this college direct from the
common schools without having taken a
special preparatory course of study.
It is a noteworthy fact that St.
Miohael's college has one of the finest
equipped chemical laboratories in New
Mexioo or the southwest. Practical tests
of ores are made in the assaying depart
ment, and nothing is left to mere theory
that may be demonstrated scientifically.
Add to this the fact that the college has
thousands of volumes, including scientific
treatises, text books, nnd works of refer
ence, and it will be seen that this is one
of the best cqntpped oolleges in New
Mexico.
The history of this pre-eminently prac
tical and popular school for boys and
yonng men begins properly with the
foundiug of the institute by "The
Brothers of the Christian Schools," in
1680, by the Blessed John Baptist de la
Salle, for the special object of the educa
tion of youth. His Holiness Pope Bene
dict XIII approved it in 1724. It is now
established throughout the christian
world, and it is not too much to say that
no other order or society of men has done
so much in the practical eduoation of
yontli ns these self sacrificing brothers of
the christian schools.
Since the institute was introduced into
the United Staffs in 1845 the educational
benefits conferred by the order have met
with many publio recognitions, and the
evidence of experience is conclusive of
the exceptional success of the brothers in
the field of practioal education.
The spaoious grounds and buildings ap
pertaining to St. Michael's college are
well suited to their use, and in some res
pects of historic interest. In 1582, near
ly a century before the beneficent order
of "Brothers of Hie Christian 8 ohools"
was founded, the old San Miguel church
was being built. The first roof and the
greater part of the beams were burned in
1680. In 1710 the burned roof and
beams were replaced with new ones, the
roof lasting until 1838 when the present
one was made. Some of the old beams
of 1710 are still in place. The historic
interest in this venerable memento of
centuries gone by is increased by the
presence on its wall of saored pictures
fully five hundred years old and an old
bell now out of use aud held as a his
tone relic. This historio old church
serves now as a chapel for St. Michael's
oollege.
The two principal buildings of the
college were completed in 1878 and 1887
respectively. They are each three stories
in height, well suited to their purpose,
and were built at a cost of $40,000. The
grounds pertaining to the college afford
ample space for recreation. There is a
bioyole track, base ball grounds, with a
grand stand, etc. The college has its
own brats band and its own orchestra.
Respecting the iicalthfulness of this
section and the sanitary conditions
of St. Michael's oollege it is a noteworthy
faot that of the thousands of pupils that
have attended this school since 1859 only
four have died at the college.
St Michael's college is under the per
sonal supervision of the presiient,
Brother Botulph, assisted by eight teach
ers, all of them "Brothers of the Chris
tian Schools," who devote themselves to
the service of Qod and the education of
youth. There are at present 150 boys
and young men in attendance at this
college. They are for the greater part
residents of new Mexico, out quite a
number come from Arizona and adjoin
ing states.
It is due to Brother Botulph to state
that, notwithstanding the very moder
ate charges made for tuition and main
tenance, this excellent school is, nnaer
his able management, both self-sustaining
and a oredit to the territory.
Parents or guardians wishing further
information should address Brother
Botulph, president of St. Michael's col-
p"" OTUM .
Home conception of the great good tnis
noblo order of educators is doing in the
world may be had from the fact that the
latest census of the brotherhood, taken
in 1888, shows there to have been it that
time 12,245 members, 1,286 schools, and
303,731 pupils.
Academy of Our Lady of Light.
CONDUCTED BY THE 8I8TEBS OF LOBETTO.
Santa Fe is the educational center of
New Mexioo, and is justly proud of her
institutions of learning for both sexes.
In the subject of this sketch we have a
sohool for the eduoation of girls and
young ladies unsurpassed in many re
speots by any school in the southwest.
The Aoademy of Our Ladv of Light
was founded in 1852, and is conducted by
the Sisters of Loretto, an order whose
members consecrate their lives to the
service of Qod and the education of youth,
in like manner to that other noble order,
the Brothers of the Christian Schools.
The beneficent Order of the Sisters of
Loretto was founded in 1812 at Loretto,
Marion county, Kentucky, -we are una
ble to state the present membership of
the order, but something ol the magnl
tnde of the work it has already acoom
pliehed in the field of education may be
had from the faot that the Sisters of Lo
retto now have schools in the states of
Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Alabama,
Texas, Kansas, Colorado and the terri
tory of New Mexico. It is a significant
fact, too, that the Loretto Academy of
Denver, Colo., now one of the most cele
brated of the number, was founded by
sisters who went from New Mexico for
that purpose.
The fine accademy at Santa Fo was com
pleted in 1881, the same year that Mother
Franoisca Lamy, the present mother su
perior, took charge of the institution.
The academy bnilding is au imposing
structure, and is furnished throughout
with modern conveniences, including
steam heat, hot and eold water, gas, baths,
etc, etc The building was ereoted at a
cost of f20,000. . The location is all that
could be desired, and is on a gentle ele
vation within the city yet hiving ample
grounds for out of door recreation. lu
this connection it is well, for the benefit
of those readers living at a distance, to
state that the climate of Santa Fe is un
surpassed for general healthfulness, and
that many pupils coming to this and to
other schools of the oity . regain the
health whioh elimatio influences of less
favored sections have impaired.
While the attendanee at the Academy cf
Out Lady of Light ha never bevu lurge,
as measured by that of other schools in
populous states, it has always been suffi
cient to make the academy the most
prominent young ladies school of the
southwest, aud, by the work of its pupils,
to attract recognition, commendation,
aud testimonials wherever its work has
competed for favor. A notable instance
was at the World's Columbian exposition
at Chicago in 1893, where the academy
was awarded a medal and diploma for
class work in Englsh aud Spanish. It
might go without saying that the Sisters
in charge art exceptionally well qualified
teachers. They are usually from ten to
twelve in number. Besides the usual
brandies of an academic education, pu
pils jrrcy take lessons and practice ou the
pinno; the orgra, the harp, the guitar,
other instruments in popular use, in vo
cal music, in the languages, drawing in
pencil or crayon, painting iu water col
ors, oil painting, hair work, artificial or
wax fluwers, needle work, etc., etc. The
annual session begins on the first of Sep
tember and closes the Inst week in June.
Difference of creeds is no obstacle to the
admission of pupils; yet, for the mainte
nance of order, all nre required to con
form to the external discipline of the in
stitute. Non-Catholics are not, however,
obliged to assist at the religious instruc
tions given to the Catholio pupils,
This academy is not conducted for the
purpose of making a profit over and
above the annual cost of maintaining the
school as a first-class institution. It is
for this reason that the board and tui

St. Louis, June 21. "When James Ad
dison Reavis said on the witness stand at
Santa Fe that Dr. Willing transferred his
title to the Peralta grant to him,h'j lied."
This positire assertion was made by
Joseph 11. Andrews, living in this city,
who was a brother-in-law of Dr. Geo. M.
Willing.
"I was with the doctor in Presoott,
Ariz., at tho time," continned Mr. An
drews, "and under no circumstaiioes
could tho statement made by Reavis have
been true. Not only would the transfer
of the grant have been impossible, but I
never saw or heard of Itenvis at that time
nor at any subsequent period during the
years I lived in Arizona up to 1879. I
never heard of hiui until his now famous
claim came to light through the proceed
ings in the court of claims. My opinion
is that he is a rank impostor."
