The attacks made on Mayor Libby by the

entrusted to him by the city charter. He

correcting them. For doing so some people
assail him. The Argus feels in duty bound tc

We find thelfollowing screed in the Denver
Tribune
"Kate Gastleton is a good locker, and an
equally powerful good dresser, but If she has
one extravagant hobby dearer to her than
aught else it is hosiery. During one perform
ance Of the Rice Surprise Party, she managed
to exhibit over q dozen pairs Of stockings, of
every color and pattern, and OF the costilest
material. The hose che wears in her character
sketch of the Quaker Girl" were a gift from
the Ahkoond of Cashmere, before whose court
she played with great success four years ago.
The hose were manufactured from the fleece
Of the sacred lamb, which are permitted to
browse on the tender grass which grows within
the shire of the temple adjoining the All
koond's palace. They are SO soft that they are
scarcely to be distinguished from the finest
velvet. They are made in the Indian style,
closely resembling the modern chemiloon, with
pockets at the hips, and are fastened about the
neck OF the wearer with silken pickering
string. Their estimated value is one hundred
golden rupees, or seven hundred dollars. An
other pair of stockings of Miss Castleton'S cost
four hundred dollars. They are yellow silk,
exquisitely embroidered, and are said to have
been worn by Queen Elizabeth when she
signed the death-warrant of the unfortunate
Mary Queen OF Scots. A third pair are fine
spun lace, gift from the Lord Mayor of Brus-
sells, and still another of unique design, valued
at one hundred and fifty dollars, were present
from the celebrated silk mandatory of Ar
mand Ricquard ct fills, Lyons, France. Some
idea may be had of the passion Miss Castleton
has for hosiery, when it is stated, upon the au-
thority of her idus achates, A. B. Jarrett, that
two large trunks are required to hold and
transport them. One strange notion she has is
that her stockings must never be Numbered.
Whatever cleaning they require is done by her
maid with soft toothbrush and perfumed
goats milk.
