Canon CITY a Dead Town.

We hear a certain class of men who
never own dollars worth of prop
erty in any pse~e- complain that
Canon City is q dead Towrr.- These
same men ackno wledge when You
corner them, that there are good
many thousand dollars worth OF
goods shipped and sold by onr mer-
chant. every day, and that the resi-
deuccs and stores are all occupied and
none for rent, but they complain that
there is no excitement on the streets.
We must acknowledge that the days
of street excitenents, drunken men
hauled TO Jail every i've minutes,
drunken women driving around
town, confidence thieves robbing
strangers, etc, arc over. and it is well
for the town that It is So There il
only one man out of a hundred that
ever makes dollar out of such
crowds. Ii looks for awhile as though
everybody MAS getting rich during
the excitement, but before the ''hur-
rah crowd" skips out for the next
railroad terminus town, the honest
citizens, who felt as though they were
making 81 much money, fiui that
these gamblers and women have be-
come just we'll enough acquainted to
get goods on credit, and the amount
due by them might as well be wiped
out, as il can never be collected. In
this way all the profits earned and
some Oh the capital has been consign-
ed to the sinking fund. never to rise
again. a few OF our short sighted
citizens followed the crowd to Las
Vegas, hoping to make up what they
had lost, or add TO W hat they had
made, but in nearly every case We
hear of them rs repeutiug Of their
move, having lost all the money they
took with them. or still worse, hav-
ing fallen into the habits OF the peo-
Pile out of whom they hoped to grow
rich. Canon City to-day, although
not town of eNcitemeuts, IS in as
prosperous condition as any town of
its size in the State.
The buildings that ore being erect
ed are in many cases being built of
brick and are OF Il substantial charac-
ter, and even the casual observer can
see that the owner intends to remain

handsome stone school house, y hISIi

assured that the success of our water
works is a ixed fact, the DELAYS hay
ing been uf u nature that did not
cripple, but rather help the project
ana that before the summer goes by
we viii be supplied with water good
enough for amy one 10 drink. Al
though there are many Canonites who
expect to try their fortunes in tho
Gunnison country this summer, they
expect not only TO winter here theili-
selves. (Which means spending about
eight months il Canon aud four in
the mincs) but intend leaving their
families here. where thoir wives eau
enjoy the comforts OF home and
their children the get benefit of frat

The Gait Paradise.

Among the institutions which character
ize Philadelphia as the "Cityi Of Homes
the cat refuge stands out alone. Than this
institution, which is located at No 1919
Lombard street, there Is no other on the
face Of the earth. Besides being an asylum
for the feline orphan, the institution serves
as gateway to the cat and dog paradise
The Refuge Is purely non-sectarian In its
character The cat or dog, be it Thomas or
Tabtha, without distinction Of race, color
or previous condition, is admitted to the
asylum If it is in need of a home, The home
less, friendless feline orphan, who has been
the target for ragged and unfeeling street
Arabs, and showercd with brickbats and
bootjacks as it sung Its plaintiye melodies in
the silvery light on q, summers evening, is
received at the city refuge by kind hearts
| and ministering hands.
Although this home has been established
for about seven years its existence until re-
Gently has been comparatively unknown by
q majority of the people Of Philadelphia
During the last year 3,514 animals were re-
ceived at the refuge, and since the establish
ment OF this institution 1899 have been
cared for. The refuge is now receiving an
average of 100 cats u week. BY far the
greater portion OF refugees to this asylum
have outlived their usefulness, or arc of that
class whose lot from infancy has been nm
unhappy one" The unfortunate creatures
that have been turned out to die of starya-
ton, or that never had u home to be turned
out of, are being brought to the refuge in in
creasing numbers, and are either provided
with good homes or chloroformcd ont of
their misery. As far as possible homes are
provided for such grimalSins ms arc sound
in body and mind and are comedy in APP
pearance.
1t not inirequently occurs that families
have n pet dog or cat that has lived SO long
that life is a burden both to the animal and
Its owners, but the aged creature has 80
won the affections Of the family that they
have not the heart TO put the sufferer out
of existence by killing it, by sending line
to the agent of the society, VIM, II. Biddle.

canine of nineteen years Of age thus gently
terminated the tenure by which they chung
TO their earthly existence. No charge is
made by the society for these offices of
mercy.
Another important feature connected with
the asylum Is that families going out Of town
for the summer months can have their cats
or dogs boarded at the refuge during their
absence.-Phitadelphia Record.

ROCKVILLE. MARYLAND. FRIDAY MORNING. JUL
MY LITTLE WOMAN.

A homely cottage, quaint and old,
Its thatch grown thick with green and golt
And wind-sown grasses,
Unchanged, it stands in sun and rain,
And seldom through the quiet lane
A footstep passes.
Yet here my little woman dwelt,
And saw the shroud of winter melt
From meads and fallows;
And heard the pretty fleld-lark sing
A tiny welcome to the Spring
From budding sallows.
She saw the early morning sky
Blush with tender wild-rose dye
Above the larches;
And watched the crimson sunset burn
Behind the Summer plumes of fern
In woodland arches.
My little woman gone away
To that far land which knows, they say,
No more sun-settingsY
/ wonder if her gentle soul,
Securely resting at the goal,
Has learnt forgettings.
My heart wakes up, and cries in vain;
She gave me- love, gave her pain
While she was living;
| knew not when her spirit fled,
But those who stood beside her said
She died iorgiving.
My dove has found better rest,
And get love the empty nest
She left neglected;
| tread the very path she trod,
And ask, in her new home with God
Am cxpectedg
If it We're but the Fathers will
To let me know she loves me still,
This aching sorrow
Would turn to hope, and could say,
Perchance she whispers day by day;
"lle comes tomorrow"
! lnger in the silent lane,
And high above the clover plain
The clouds are riven;
Across the fields she used to know
The light breaks, and the wind signs low:
"Ioved and forgiven"

making his report Dir. j. f. Turner entered

explained that when he referred to the con-
vention as the Democratic convention No , he
"a lnat mere mad been an undue Democrat

that Democrats had joined the Greenback
party i'll order to capture the organization.

he came nor question his motives, it being
enough to know that he was a Greenbacker BY

MI Emery, of Alfred, said that he came TO.
the Green6ack party from the Democratic
party; that he had always acted with the Dem
ocratic party and that Gen. Anderson was not
his candidate; that he didn't vote for him. He
denounced the remark of Mr.. Turner in regard
TO the Democratic Convention No. . with great
vigor
MI Todd, of Portland defended Mr.. Tur-
ner's motives. He was a true Greenbacker.
and If he had made mistake it was an error
of judgment

Mr.: Turner made a speech of considerable
length, touching on his Greenback record. He
explained that he had spent a good deal of
time as we'll as money to help the cause along.
Mr.. Turner made in substance the same speech
as at the Congress Hall meeting.
