u The Ladies' Fair last Thurs.
day night was quite success, both
socially aud financially. tt being a
rare opportunity to aid good OBJ
ject and enjoy pleasant evening,
there was a fair representation OF
gallant men and beautiful women
present. An excellent supper was
furnished for % cents, and ever SO
many nice things, including the del
icacies of the season, were dispensed
BY the ever attentive ladies, and
those who attended say they never
spent a few hours more pleasantly.
Indeed, the ladies were successful in
their endeavors to make the time
pass pleasantly to all. The pro-
ceeds of the Festival amounted to
about S93, which will be appropri-

An exchange says: "The work
for irrigating agricultural lands in
Colorado already rivals those OF
California and India. In Weld
county four canals will furnish water
for 10000 acres this year, and five
others will be completed in time for
the next crop. In Cache la Poudre
valley canal to cover 10000 acres
has been completed for IL miles, and
is being rapidly pushed forward
In one place it was found necessary
to tunnel nearly 1000 feet. The
canal is to be thirty miles long,
twenty feet broad and four feet deep.
The Larimer county canal covers
q, 900 acres, and has already cost
$4,000, with z miles still to con-
struct. In Southern Colorado works
are in construction to cover 10O,O 900
acres. In all, Colorado will soon
have 275,OOO acres supplied from
the largest canals, while in dozens
of mountain valleys lesser bitches
abound, of which no account is
taken in the estimate.n

philosopher of the subject of crime,
which together with suicides, Buckle
says ravages communities in an cpl

eases, it is the present. The prev

criminal occurrences is probably un.
paralleled. Almost every newspaper
has its intelligence of this character
classified, and every morning and
evening the department is full
Murders, arsons and assaults tread
on each others heels, so fast they
follow. The outbreaks are not lin.
tied by latitudinal or longitudinal
lines, and are independent of race
or color. Within the past ten days
more lynchings have probably taken
place than within period of as
many months before. There is a
moral miasma in the atmosphere,
the terrible effects of which are be.
ing manifested every day. The
professors of sociology should be
heard from.

paper at Washington, the Gazette, thus

excuse for not accepting. But ARTHUR, the

neither acceptances nor regrets to the COM
mittee on invitations. They treated it and
