MOONLAND.

There's a country remarkably quaint and
queer,
Where the air won't support balloon,
And everything's just rs 1t isn't here
IT'S the Land Of the Man In the Moon.
There people don't bother with "partes"
at all,
The crop of great statesmen's exceedingly
small;
Bank officers never fee toward Montreal
In the Land Of the Man In the Moon.
The ladies all make most delighted wives
In the Land Of the Man in the MON;
Rascality's punished, and honor thrives
In the Land of the Man In the Moon.

SOUTH WASHINGTON.

The unoccupied furnished house of Rev.
DR.. w. w. Hicks, former pastor OF the
Tabernacle, at the corner of Eighth and B
streets southwest, was entered by thieves
last Tuesday night. The thieves entered
every loom, scattering the bureau drawers
and furniture over the floor, and departed
without carrying of any booty.
A false alarm of fire was sounded from
box 423 Mt 7:5Q o'clock this morning, caused
by smoke issuing from the registers OF la
trobe stove in the house of Eugene Nc
Nerhany, No. 1905 Maryland avenue south
west. The Fire Department responded
promptly, but did not go into service. No
damage.
An adjourned meeting of the board of
directors of the South Washington Endow-
ment Relief Association will be held at the
association rooms, corner Of Eighth and G
streets southwest, this evening, for the cleo
tion Of new members and the transaction of
the usual routine of business.
The Potomac was covered over with a
thin skim Of ice this morning, which was
soon broken by the ferry and tug boats.
A large number of families in needy cir
cumstances have been temporarily relieved
Of their sufferings with aims from the Police
Department in this section. tl.
George Snow, Henrietta Anderson and
Caroline Green were arrested last night on
"a charge Of threatening to take the life of
Mary Crown. On last Wednesday Richard
Crown, q white man, whom Mary claimed
as her husband, was released from Police
Court on his personal bonds to keep the
peace with Henrietta Anderson, and the
arrests last night are supposed to have been
ordered by the rejected wife in revenge.
Lieutenant Greer took the personal recog-
nizance Of the prisoners for their appearance
at Police Court this morning.

y state exchange says: In another cor
umn will be found the ad. of III. Il. Fraser N
Co., of Denver, calling the attention 10 the
cheap rates on the necessities OF this lie.
Before attention has been called TO this
firm, again il might be said that no house
keeper could well afford to do otherwise
than patroniZe this firm for they save all
their customers from 10 to 80 per cent on
their regular grocery bills. The reader
might say. that to pay the freight on their
goods and run the risk of their being as rep
resented there would be no saving. This is
a wrong impression. Fraser Il Co., sell
nothing but the best, and will guarantee
every article as represented or refund the
purchase price, As TO freights-,that
amounts to very little. As an indication of
what they are. calculation can be made
from the following. The rate per 100 lbs
to any point within ,5 miles of Denver Will
not exceed 0ne-half cent per pound. To
any point 200 miles not over one cent per
pound, and TO any point 400 miles three
cents per pound. These figures are for
first-class freight, such as assorted gIpcer-
les. but on canned goods the rate would not
exceed one-half of the above. Remember,
these are the highest rates and If the reader
will get the prices given by crocers in his
or her town. il will be found then that the
saving is very great The only way TO de-
termine whether or not MessrS. Fraser&
Co. can save you money is to give them u
trial They refer to German National
Bank. Denver. or any of their patrons. 1t
is of course natural for other grocers TO run
this firm down, but none of them can equal
their prices

William B. Miner, the Republican
candidate for the Senate from the Fort Col

Ballard, his competitor, that he would con-
test his right to the seat in the Senate. The
grounds of contest are that persons were
allowed to vote who had not been registered
in certain precinct in North Park.
The Tribune-Republican of the 9th
says: When the jurors in the Aspen
mining case filed into their seats yesterday
morning no small amount of surprise was
manifest on their countenances at what they
saw before them. 1t was Aspen mountain
in miniature. 1t occupied that part of the
courtroom where the witness box usually
is. Its base was about eight feet square.
and 1t was as high as an ordinary writing
desk. II was brought into court by the
apex men, and was made of terra Gotta. be-
ing divided into a dozen sections. Its
weight is over loo pounds. 1t represented
that part of the mountain ON which the con-
troverted properties are located, and was
made according to careful measurements,
the scale being fifty feet TO the inch. BY
removing the upper sections the inside
workings Of the Spar. Washington, Emma
Aspen, Vallejo and Durant mines were eN-
posed TO view. The points where the var
ious shafts reached the contact We're repre-
sentcd, as were the drifts, uprises, inclines,
slopes and wines. The model proved a
great benefit 10 the jury in aiding them to
get complete understanding of the case.
