THE LLOYD & GENTERCOMPANY IS GOOD.
The Lloyd and Genter Co. presented Hal Reid's masterpiece, "A South-ern Romance," to a large and appreciative audience at the Majestic Theatre last night. The play was line,any every one of the characters didtheir part in a pleasing way. The specialties were unusually good. Grantwatkins deserves special mention inthe manner he played the violin, fife,Dens ana several other musical instruments. Lawrence Sullivan's greatpaper tearing act, caused a great dealof comment amongst the audience. Itwas new to Roswell, and is worth theprice of admission.

ELZA WHITE HELD UP ANDROBBED AT AMARILLO.
In a letter to his wife in this city,Elza White writes that he was heldup and robbed at Amarillo last Thursday night of $175. Mr. White, in company with A. D. Garrette, was on hisway to the National Wool Growersconvention at Helena, Mont., as representative of tiie Chaves county association. The letter states that asMr. White started to enter the sleep-ing car on the train out of Amarillothree men held him up and took his
sas City, Kan.)It should not be overlooked that
there has followed in tSie wake oflaw enforcement a great benefit toour city that cannot be measured Indollars and cents.
Our sanitarium had many cases ofdelirium tremens every week whenjoints were in operation, (hut Dr. S.S. Glasscock, the head physician, tellsme there have been but two cases inthe past six months.
The judge of the juvenile court re-cently told me that when the jointswere in operation many children hadto be assisted every month, but thatwith the closing of the joints this hadtotally disappeared, and that duringthe past six months thfcre were, buttwo applications, and these were thechildren of the mistress of a disorder-ly house who abandoned them whenshe followed the saloons out of tiiecity.
Our public schools reported an ab-
normal demand for admission to thepublic schools last fall. While former-ly eight new teachers were sufficienteach year for the increase in attend-ance, last fall eighteen new teachershad to be employed. Inquiry revealsthe fact that since the saloons wereclosed, fathers are providing for theirfamilies and the Iboys are trying toget an education who formerly hadto work to support their mothers anddrunken fathers. Dollars and centscannot measure this, but in the futurelife of our city it will weigh heavilyin the balance for good government.
The manager of the children's homesays there has been a large decreasein the number of dependent poorand cases of destitution.
The county poor commissioner saysthat not so many poor persons arebeing sent to the county farm andthat hundreds of cases of destitutiondue to the husbands spending theirmoney and time in the joints havealmost entirely disappeared.
Teachers in the public schools report that children are now well clothed who formerly were in rags becausetheir parents spent their earnings inthe joints.
Festus Foster, secretary of the Associated Charities, in a published in-terview on January 23d, said:
'Although the population of our city is rapidly increasing, the numberof cases of destitution is decreasingmaterially. We trace this directly tothe fact that the joints have (beenclosed and that a better condition prevails on all hands. A person who hasnot been actively connected withcharity work cannot appreciate thewonderful change that has taken placesince the saloons were closed."
More than a score of cases iiavecome under my personal observationwhere individual drunkards have be-come sober and industrious citizenssince the closing of the joints.
Periodically for some three or fouryears a lady, poorly dressed, calledupon us to file a divorce suit for herbecause her husband spent all hisearnings for drink. Upon each occasion it was the same story. Her hus-band earned $6 a day, and yet hiswife had to earn the living for thefamily. Disliking to file divorce suits,we kept putting off, the evil day. Dur-ing the past six months I had notheard from her. On Christmas daywhile sitting at my desk her husbandcalled, and said that his wife wantedto see me. Supposing It was the sameold story I pleaded business, but herefused to take no for an answer andsaid his wife must see me. I steppedinto the buggy waiting at the door,and we were soon at a neat cottage.When the door opened I beheld a roomneatly carpeted, with new furniture,and there stood the wife neatly dress-ed. The children were clothed like thechildren of well-to-d- o citizens. In thecenter of the room stood a Christmastree, still glittering with decorations.
Noticing that I was puzzled, thewife remarked, "I just wanted you tosee, Mr. Trickett, what the closing ofthe Joints has done for our home."And then the husband explained bysaying: "Yes, this is what closing thesaloons has done for us. At first Iwas bitter because t was deprived ofthe right to go in, purchase, and drinkwhat I pleased, and for awhile I wentacross the state line; but I did haveAmerican manhood and pride left,that when I could not walk in at thefront door, I woul-- not sneak Intoback alleys, or In dark area ways, orinto a room with bolted doors anddrawn curtains where each one lookedlike a thief watching and expectingofficers.
"We have purchased this littlehome on payments, have furnishedit, and are happy and content,"
These are matters that in my judg-ment weigh heavily In the scale andyet cannot Ibe measured in dollars andcents.
It is needless to comment uponsuch matters.

to cities of twenty thousand or morein population. The "Sorosis" shoefor women is now on sale in Ros-well at the store of Price & Co. Themanufacturers of this shoe have neveribefore placed an agency' for the shoein a town of less than twenty thousand inhabitants. It is not on sale inany other town of New Mexico, thenearest agencies being at El Paso,Fort Worth and Dallas. This recognition of the high class of tradef inRoswell by such a company as themanufacturers of the Sorosis shoeis a matter of pardonable pride forthe whole community. It shows thatRoswell and the Pecos Valley are settled by people who know and demandthe best quality of everything andwho are able and willing to pay theprice of superiority in education, inmorals and in civic improvement aswell as in dry goods, clothing andshoes. The Sorosis shoe is manufactured at Lynn, Mass., by E. A. Little& Co., and is placed in all the largecities of Europe, where it enjoys apopularity as great as it does inAmerica. It is simply the "ne plusultra" in the woman's s'hoe line, perfect in fit, style, finish, comfort, andin durability unexcelled. Mr. Pricewe are informed, has worked fornearly three years to induce the manufacturers to make an exception ofRoswell in their policy of confiningtheir agencies to cities of twentythousand or more population. By persistence and convincing figures as tothe class of trade here Mr. Price wonthem over, and the ladies of Roswellare to be congratulated.

may never be known, for among thevictims were some strangers whomay have no relatives to trace theirfate. It is estimated that there werefour 'hundred persons in the playhouse when the tank which was being used in connection with the picture exhibition exploded. Instantlysome one yelled "fire" and in a mo-ment the center of the opera housewas a (blazing furnace. The rapidspread of the flames was caused bythe upsetting of the coal oil lampsused as footlights, by persons on the
" stage who endeavored to allay thefears of frightened children and quiet the audience. Men lost control ofthemselves and fought with womeaand children who composed the greater part of the audience to gain thestreet. Tiie weaker ones were pushedaside and in the mad scramble trampled to death in the stairways. Scoresof persons on the second floor riskedtheir lives by jumping from windowsand several of them were killed.
Boyertown is a town of about 2,500people, and there is scarecly a homein the place not affected 'by the disaster. The entertainment being givenwas an amateur performance for thebenefit of St. John's Lutheran Sundayschool. When the explosion occurred,there were at least thirty boys andgirls on the stage and behind thescenes. The flames first consumedthe scenery, then spread through thehouse. A great wave of suffocatingsmoke dropped men, women and chil-dren in the path of the flames, thenburned their bodies. Had the men allremained the loss would have beensmall. The fire was not brought tindercontrol until earl this morning. As-sistance came from Reading, Potts-tow- n
' and Cecil.About fifty members of the state
constabulary came over from Read-ing today. The work of removing bo-dies from the debris will be hazard-ous. When the rush was at its heightthe front floor gave way, precipitatingmany persons to the basement. Thesebodies are buried beneath charredwood and brick from the walls.
In addition to the opera house, theFarmers National bank, a store andseveral other buildings were burned.The property loss is $75,000.
