COLORADO SKETCHES.
Editor EXCHANGE:

Editor Exchange:
Intelligence from Leadville informs
us that two men named James Welsh
and Johnny Jones, fought a prize
fight on iron hill the other day. The
ninth round was fought in one hour
and twenty minutes. Welsh was fl.
nally declared victorious. On sun,
day a game of baseball was played at
Leadville between the l.. club and a
picked nine. Just such conduct as
that is carried on in Colorado all the
time.
Mr.. Stewart shot and killed his
brother in Pueblo last week. The
shooting was accidental.
Doc Halliday, said to be murder.
er and desperate, was arrested not
long since by a California sheriff.
Bob Masterson, marshal of Trinidad,
says Halliday is Deputy United States
Marshal, and his arrest is plot of the
cow boys against his life. So suffers
the innocent.
A mystery without aIlsolution to
match it was lady being found all
most decomposed in privy of an un>
inhabited house. The verdict of the
jury was that she was to them nm.
known and had died from causes un.
known. There is something mex
pressably sad and touching in the fate
of this unfortunate woman. The
very uncertainty as to who or what
she was surrounds her with that pc.
culiar interest that ever follows the
unknown and mysterious. She may
have been the daughter of some proud
house, raised among the surroundings
Of wealth. or she may have been the
first born of some cotter who owned
an humble home by flowing stream
of New England. Whether the one
or the other, she was the delight of
some tender and doting mother, some
loving father. In fancy we see the
parents watching down the path and
wondering when she will return. But
alas, she will never again gladden.
the hearts Of that home; she rests in
the shadow of the Rocky Mountains.
The mystery will never be solved.
Respt'y, NAT MAYOR.

the law making power, viz: areformatory

THE COMMERCIAL VALUE OF THE MIN
IsTRY.--The relation of the Christian
ministry to the people over whom they
hold the robes of office vary in circum-
stance and condition very much as in any
of the other offices relating to our moral
and political economy The first Disci-
pies went out as flames of fire to consume
the deleterious stubblc before them and
ahus prepare the way for freer growth
of the seeds of gospel truth. Everything
was aggregated to the Christian life and
property Sheld in common so that faith
should not be choked by individual avar-
ice. This condition pertained to, and
could only exist in the glowing state of
early and unorganized Christian society.
As religion permeated the outlying social
precints it had to take them as communi-
ties with their social organizations and
peculiar modes of .e and Just in pro-
portion as the discipeship widened, the
I'alI things in ccraspon' became inopera-
tive. The evauar necessity
go without script or purse, and the
early ministers of all denominations have
sustained this relation to their work. AL
reforms start with the IOwly but under
their reformatory and benign influence.
societies grow into wealth, intelligence
and community influence. Circumstan
ces shape the way for them rather thar
they themselves, and in this way not Onl.

The society on the same principle pa!

THE perplexing question with the pas
tors of fashionable churches from the
time that few were selected to do the
singing for the many, has been how to
keep the choir in personal harmony.
Father Sheppard of St. Clements's Epls-
copal (high) Church, Philadelphia has
solved the problem by knocking one of
his choir into order with his first. There
must always be an initiative, and this
successful example set with boy choir
may be initiated by some militant pastor
upon an older subject.

THE funding of the Nations debt at 3!
per cent and our State debt at 4 per cent
has greatly lessened the amount needed
for revenues for both, and placed the sub
iect of taxation in relatively different
position to the people. In regard to our
State. the debt created to pay men out OF
the draft was one that, all questions aside,
the State had to meet as did the Nation
its debt created to preserve its atonomy.
The people have submitted to heavy
taxation for years during which time a
large part of the principal except that
secured by railroad bonds as collateral)
has been liqudated. The lessening of the
