Before the Committee.
Fifteen in humber--The Board will
Take Time to Consider.

The board of capitol commissioners
convened at the office Of Q. N. Potter,
Esq, yesterday afternoon. Present, 4.
Maggie, chairman Of the board, @. N.
Potter, secretary, and Commissioners N.
r. Davis and n. j. O'Brien. Hon. NJ.
Il. Post, the other member of the COM
mission, was not present, he being still in
the East.
The purpose Of the meeting yesterday
was to open and examine the bids or capt.
tol site propositions that have been re-
ceived by the board during the past two
weeks. The proposals were opened and
read as follows:
Andrew Gilchrist proposed to give for
a capitol site block A, for the sum of
$1,000; also block As, for $1,000; also
block 81, for $4,000.
Riner & johnson, lots /, 2, 3, 4, 5, and
6, in block 296, for sl7, 900.
NJ. A. Arnold. lots /, ?, 3, 4, 5, 6 and
I, in block Dol. for which he thinks the
territory should pay 81, $50.
Culver & Arnold offered lot number 5
and the west half of lot number 6 in
block number 1888, for IS, $40. and in con-
n%ection with this there should properly be
considered the proposal Of L. t. Duffy
of lot s in the same block, for 81, 500,
making a total of two and one half lots in
1888, for which the sum of $3.50 is
wanted.
Chas. f. Miller offered block 537 for
the sum os $500.
b. Hcllman offered to donate a block
adjoining the boulevard between Hill
street and Central avenue also block X
for $500; block Is for 81. 500; also
block ITO for $4,000.

50 1000.
L. S. r. Boughton offered block rs for
$1,000; also block 70 for 50. ZOO.
Riner & johnson offered block l4l for
$1,000.
The city of Cheyenne proposed to do
nate out of the city park ground enough
for a suitable site, the same to be selected
within the park by the capitol commits
sioners.
There was little or no discussion among
the commissioners yesterday in regard to
the respective merits of any of the pro
posed sites. The board agreed that the
matter of making the ultimate selection
should be deferred until after the retur
of Mr.. Post. and, further, the members
of the commission also resolved to per-
sonally examine the various proposed sites
in order to acquaint themselves as far as
possible with their advantages before
making a selection from among them.
although it should, of course, be remem-
bered that the board is in no wise bound
to make a selection from any of the pro-
posed sites, but may see fit to locate the
capitol in some place not yet suggested or
proposed. Mr.. Maggie called the attention
of the other members of the commission
to the important fact that the site must
be one where the ground must be abso-
lutely dry down for the distance of at
least seven feet. for anything short of
that would not do at all for the site OF
such a building as the capitol will be
when erected.

Some weeks age James Ellis, a colored
man who was then an employe at the
Simmons house. was arrested and sent up
for ten days for stealing a pair OF shoes,
but before he had served his time out it
was learned in Cheyenne that he was at
least suspected of the larceny of a SIS
overcoat at Boulder, Col. Nothing def
mite was learned, however, and in time
Ellis was rele ased from Jail. having served
out his time. Yesterday Marshal Schnit
ger received a telegram from Colorado
stating hat Ellis was wanted on a plain
case against him at Boulder. Policeman
Goddard proceeded forthwith to arrest
Ellis, who is now in the calaboose and
will be held until the Colorado authorities
send for him.

a collision followed by the collapse OF a
combination consisting of a white men, a
colored man and a buggy occurred near
the Rhodes & TroxeIl corner early yester-
day morning. The buggy was standing
in the middle of the street and the two
men we're seated in in, when an express
wagon came along at quite a rapid speed
and ran against the buggy, demoralizing
one of its wheels and spilling the two men
out upon the ground-the white man on
the right hand and the darkey on the left
While the killed, wounded and missing
were picking themselves up the express
wagon dashed on, so that by the time the
two men were on their feet it was out Of
sight, and no one could tell to whom it
belonged.

HELD TO W Err.
herman stoeher Must Answer 70 the
Charge of Forgery.

The preliminary examination of Her
nan Stoehr, on the charge of forgery,
occurred before Judge Fisher yesterday
afternoon, and the result was adverse to
the defendant On the part of the pros
ecution it was shown in evidence that the
defendant passed the check on Mr..
Tucker, from whom he obtained the
sum Of $50. The check purI orted to
bear the signature of L. D. jerks. That
gentleman testified, however, that he had
never drawn or seen the check, and char
the signature was not his, On the part
of the defendant, Jake Esselborn and G.
P. Justus, testified to having seer the de-
PENDANT have money just previous to his
departure westward. Mr.. Esselborn, in
fact, testified to having cashed a genuine
check for him prior to his departure. All
of this, however, had no bearing on the
case and the defendant was held to bail in
the sum of $500. As the defendant could
not give the required bonds he was com
mitted to jail until the next term Of court.

The Physical Differences.

Now, can any one seriously argue
that, on the physical side, divergence
OF pursuits and habits is not indicated
for the sexes? The common sense of
mankind has long ago answered the
question, and even our female reform
ers, l believe, admit that blowing and
driving cattle, soldering and sailoring
are not appropriate to women, nor
feeding and rocking children, nursing
the sick, and keeping house, to men.
Not that women have not so much
physical strength and energy in their
own kind as men in theirs, but that
energy appears to have a different
scope. Men would find the common
tasks of women desperately fatiguing
and irksome; man, for inst ance,
would certainly not cultivate manly
strength and energy as child g nurse;
yet the nurse exercises q great deal of
Strength, carrying and nursing heavy

ton OF physical energy in the two sexes
is always the note of barbarism or
degradation among mankind Where
you find women put to tasks which do

tion and functions-a practice always

there you have o people low in the

ture being all OF a piece, it Is but rea-
sonable to think that a divergence as
between the sexes in pursuits and
habits, which is strongly indicated,
and admittedly wise on one side Of it,
| is likely to be wise on the other. The
energy OF women, MS it differs in kind
and in scope from that OF men in
physical matters, SO differs in moral
and intellectual matters. No doubt 1t is
not SO easy to discriminate between the
| intellectual and moral powers OF men
and women as between their bodily
powers; but there is real difference

The Romance of @ Model.
New York journal.

"One of the most remarkable Incl
dents happened to an artist friend OF
mine who has since moved to Boston"
said a prominent painter. "He had
just opened studio on Fourteenth

said she had never posed before, but
was very destitute and would gladly
work for most anything to support
her little girl.
There was something about her face
that pleased him, so he engaged her on
the spot, though not half believing the
story she told him. But he grew in

cided on making use of her services.

picture was completed and was fine
piece of work. It hung in a Broad
way dealers store for several weeks
and then sold for 81, 500 to an Eng
lishman. The purchaser came around
to see the artist q few days later to
give him an order for q companion
picture to represent morning.
He remarked casually that the first
work interested him strangely, mas
much as the face reminded him strong

years ago. He asked the artist if the
face was taken from life, and being as
sured that it was, and getting the adj
dress of the model, set out to find her.
"Well. the upshot of the matter was

From the lewiston journal.
Long pastorates are eminently de-
sirable, If the pastors do not get into
intellectual ruts. The advantages Sc
cured by long and happy acquaint-
ance and friendship are eminent, in
moral and religious work. To get the
hang OF the school house takes time;
but to get the hang of q parish is q
greater feat. But some men get hung
up in both before they get the hang OF
either, and their tenure OF Office needs
to be short because it cannot other
wise be sweet.
One reason why pastorates are now
shorter than they used to be lies in
the intense demands made on the
clergy by an intense age. The people
ask great deal, emotionally, also.
The pastor is the man for almost all
occasions where speeches are in re.
quest, and what with parochial work
and the calls OF sorrow and of death
which it is his peculiar function to
meet, if the pastor is both brainy and
hearty, he has abundant opportunity
to tax both brain and heart to the
utmost. If he keeps abreast the sym
pathy as we'll as the intellectual life oil
his day, his passionate will be long, il
to these energies he adds tact and
depth of Christian character.
But the clergy are men, and we re-
quire that they be better and wiser
than any of us is able to get to be, on
the score that he who leads must be
further along and higher up than he
who follows. Hence, in the way OF
long pastorates stand both the weak;
ness of the pews and the imperfection
OF the pulpit. Time was when to be
in white neckcloth was to be in author
ity. The clergy of the lang syne, by
virtue of their Office were authenticat.
