asked the.clerk for a candle to take to

end when told that the hotel was fur

remitted attention to any business
which he has in hand. It is assured
that under his administration any bus
iness in the Register's ollice will be
speedily and promptly dispatched.
It would not bo amiss for the settlers
on the Canadian, Pecos, Conchas, Ute
Creek, etc., where lands have been sur
veyed, to look to their filings, as neg
lect in this matter often leads to trouble
and serious loss. By application to the
Register they can find out whether their
townships have been surveyed and ob
tain all necessary instructions as to how
to proceed to secure title to their en

Socorro is bidding heavily for the
White Oaks trade. The citizens of that
enterprising city are agitating the ques
tion of building a bridge across the riv

carried out, as it likely will be, it will
greatly facilitate trade between those
two points. A toll road ;s being com
pleted and unless the people of Las Ve
gas arc awake to their interests a good
portion of the trade of the Oaks will be
turned in tho direction of Socorro. This
result of course would bo good for So
corro but rough on Las Vegas, anil in
order to compete with that city the
same energy in fixing the roads will
have to be shown by Las Vegas, as has
been by tho people of the valley city
A mail route is what is needed and can

The great Feast of Our Lady of Guad
alupe commences at Paso del Norte,
Mexico, to-day. It has heretofore been
celebrated in Vera Cruz and the City of
Mexico, but with the advent of the rail
road the Mexicans have been making
extra preparations for this feast at Paso
del Norte, with the expectation of at
tracting a large number of Americans.
The bull pen, in which the bull lights
are to take place, cost $3,500 we are
to'd. It used to be that money to carry
on the festivities was annually collected
from the people, but of late years the
city has taken charge of the arrange
ment and the riht of management lias
been sold to a committee of citizens.
These festivals have never before been
within easy access to Americans and a
larjre number will undoubtedly attend.
Round trip tickets from all points along
the A. T. & S. F. are being sold at half
rates. The fare from Las Vegas to El
Paso and return is $3G.
ITS OIUGIN.
On the 9th day of December, 1531, an
Indian named Juan Diego, was travel
ing to the city of Mexico to attend mass.
On his way he saw on the top of a hill
a cloud, and above it something like
a rainbow. His attention was attract
ed twit by a voice out of the cloud
calling his own name, and he went up
the hill and saw what seemed to be the
Virgin Mary herself. She declared
to him that it was hcr'intention to have
a church built right on that spot, and
and that she would give protection to
all natives who honored her.
She commanded him to go to the
Bishop of Mexico, Juan Zuniarraga,
and relate to him all that had happen
ed. The Indian sought the bishop, and
after considerable trouble to rain ad
mittance-succeeded in speaking with
him and related what he had seen and
heard. The bishop, giving the matter
no consideration, said he would think
of it, and-dismissed hint.
The next day the Indian passed by
the same place, and again seeing the
apparition, told the Virgin Mary what
had taken place. She told him to re
turn to Mexico City and again tell the
bishop what had happened. The In
dian started but he found that an uncle,
Juan Bernardino, had been taken sick,
and instead of going to sec the bishop
he started to see his uncle, taking an
other road so as not to see the appari
tion. But he encountered it again, and
the Virgin told hint not to be anxious
about his uncle, as he was cured of the
disease, but to again proceed to the
bishop and relate what he hail seen,
lie went and found him much more
interested than formerly, but neverthe
less asked the Indian for some super
natural sign, before commencing work
on the church.
The Indian returned to the virgin and
told her that the bishop would not
erect tho church unless he clearly saw
that it was really a heavenly inspira
tion. The virgin then told him that
she would give such a sign, nnil on the
13th of December she told Juan Diego
to go to the top of a certain hill where
he would find fresh roses growing, and
to take them to the bishop and tell hi in
that the roses were the sign. He did
so, putting them in his cloak and carry
ing them to the bishop. A he handed
the roses to the bishop, so the tradition
runs, a picture of the virgin as she ap
peared to the Indian was discovered on
the cloak where the roses had touched
it. It was impossible to tell, by looking
at it, whether the picture had been
painted or woven, and the bishop saw
clearly that it was the will of the Vir
gin Mary to have the church erected
there.
The picture was taken to a private
chapel for a while, where tlie people
began to go and admire the wonder,
and pray for needs. In the course of
time the church was erected at the
place where the apparition was seen,
about three miles north of the City of
Mexico, and a small town, Guadalupe,
sprung up around it. Pilgrims came
from great distances to worship the
image of the virgin, and the annual re
ligious festival, the "Feast of Our Lady
of Guadalupe," originated from this
source.
THE HiOGUAMME.
On the first evening the city is to be
decorated and illuminated. The
amusement consists of games, music
and dancing. On December 11th, tho
Pueblo Indians begin their dance in
full costume, and continue all day and
all night. On December Hth and 15th
the bull fights commence. The bulls,
the finest and most ferocious that
could be found, have been brought up
to Paso del Norte from the State of
Chihuahua. The fighters, who are to
be dressed in full Mexican costume and
mounted on the best Mexican horses,
are the best and most experienced wh
could be found in Chihuahua. An
amphitheater has been erected on a
high piece of ground near the Mexican
garrison, on the plaza and near the
cathedral, which will seat about 8,000
people, with a grand music stand and
stall for all kinds of refreshments.
During the whole festival many in
teresting nnd novel amusements will
take place, such as burro races, proces
sions, chicken fights, Mexican soldier
parades, etc. On Christmas evening
the hill-tops and mountains will be illu
minated by the Indians.
-Yesterday's blizzard was one of the
worst of the season. Tho wind com-
menced at an early hour in the morn
ing and continued with unabated fury
during the entire day. The dust was
whirled about at a fearful rate and
those who were so unlucky as to have
to be-out in it got their eyes and ears
full of dust. Rush Holmes' ice house
was blown down and several window
lights in several houses were blown
out.

Wife Ieer-
Front the Kansas City Journal we
glean the particulars of the desertion of
his wife by a Fort Union soldier at To
peka. Mrs. C. C. Livingston, w ife of a
sergeant in the regular army, stationed
at Fort Union, near Las Vegas, is the
victim of man's perfidy this time. She
was married to him at Las Vegas, in
1878, but his jealousy was aroused by
what he believed to be improper famil
iarity on her part with officers who
were his sufA.iors. They quarreled
and separated after only a few months
of wedded life. She went to Daven
port, Iowa, "'w here she had an uncle
She remained there until a short time
ago, when she went to Kansas City and
found employment in a millinery es
tablishment. More recently she wont
to Atchison. An unusual feature in
this case is that the separated wife and
husband kept up correspondence d ur
ina their separation, and when Ser
geant Livingston arrived at Fort Leav
enworth the other day with a military
prisoner, he resolved to go on to Atch
ison and see his wife. They kissed and
made up and resolved to try over
again. They were both happy in find
ing the love they had lost, and won
dered how they could ever have con
sented to live apart from each other.
They came to Topeka, and Thursday
they drove about the city happy as two
young lovers. That night Sergeant
Livingston gave his wife $300, saying
he was going out for a little while, and
was afraid he might lose it. She didn't
like the idea of his deserting her so
soon for associates, among whom he
didn't think his money would be safe.
She knew that he either went to the
gambling table or some place even
worse, for her honor as a wife. But
she made no complaint. The next Fri
dayhe was about to mail a letter to a
friend in Davenport, and was in the act
of enclosing her photograph, when he,
suspecting that she was writing to a
man, grew very jealous, and very an
gry. She was vexed at this, and offer
ed no explanation, whereupon he went
into a great rage ami demanded Ins
money, declaring that lie had had
enough of her. She gave the money
back to him, refusing to retain a cent.
He pocketed it all, and went at once to
the denot and took the train for Las
Vegas. Her trunk had previously been
sent to Las Vegas; so that the result of
her second adventure with the man
whose name she bears is that she is
only left penniless among strangers but
has also lost her wardrobe. Her father
Geo. Ilolman, formerly of Las Vegas.is
dead, and her mother has married
again and is living in Las Vegas. Her
name is Howe and Mrs. Livingstone
will appeal to her, the only friend to
whom she can go for help. Míe is re
solved to be avenged upon her faithless
husband. Her love has turned into the
most intense hatred and a desire for re
venge for her wrongs. She is only 18, a
dark-eyed blonde,a rare but fascinating
beauty, and apparently very gay. but
she denies ttiatshe was ever unfaithful
to her husband in thought or deed.
Thu President's Message.
We were greatly disappointed in not
being able to lay before our readers
the President's message yesterday
morning, but it was no fault of ours.
The fault was in the telegraph compa
ny. The commercial wire was down
and the report was sent over the rail
road wire. The railroad claimed pre
cedence on this wire and cut it through,
leaving out the loop which connects
the Western Union ollice and of course
we ceuld not get a line. This is the
result of an indefinite understanding
between the railroad and the Western
Union. We were the sufferers, how
ever. Monday night the press operator
was on a round-up with the boys and
we got but little report ot importance,
and Tuesday night the railroad cut us
out. The only satisfaction we got out
of these two nights was paying for the
report.
cnth of Mrs. Tltlow.
Mrs. Jennie M. Titlow died, on Tues
day at Los Alamos at 20 minutes past
13 o'clock at the age of 23 years, 11
days. She leaves a family of four
young children and her husband to
mourn her loss, the youngest child
being only ten days old. She had the
best of medical attention, Drs. Shout
and Severson attending her during her
illness until the last moment, but it was
the will of God to take her from her
loved ones on earth. Her parents and
relatives reside in Maryland and will
be sadly surprised at her untimely
death. Baltimore papers please copy.
Quilian Arrentrd.
Officer Jilson, of the East Side police,
yesterday received a telegram from the
deputy sheriff of Santa Fe county to
the effect that Quilian, one of the es
caped jail birds, had been arrested in
Santa Fe. This is the first of the squad
to bo arrested and the reward of 11,000
will bo'hared among tho officers in
strumental in his arrest. It is likely
other recapturers will follow in quick
succession.
