MANITOU SPRINGS.
Letter from the Great Summer Resort
of Colorado.

Letter, from the Great Summer Resort
of Colorado.
MhNIToU SPRINGS, January 8, 1888.
EDS. RECORD UNION: Itis not the pur-
pose of the writer to giTe guide book de-
scriptions OF what is so 7Fitlely known as
the health resort region o. Colorado. But
few days sojourn has led to the belief
that some Of its mid-winte aspects may
be interesting to some of yosr readers.
The ride from Colorado Springs is through
a ravine six miles in length. leading up to
the mountain hamlet of Manitou" In
the days when the Indian sought refresh
ment and healing at the sparkling fount-
aims opened in the stupendous wilderness,
he testified his gratitude for the boon by
bestowing upon them the name of the
giver-" Manitou," the springs of the Great
Spirit; and the pale race who have followed
him have reverently perpetuated it
Snow hangs upon the mountains, but
the valley is warm and still Pixies Peak,
with its crest of eternal snow, is seen be-
tween the shoulders of lesser mountains
Standing near the Soda Spring, at the point
where the Ute trail intersec,s the road'to
the Peak, We were treated to an atmos-
pheric spectacle, a snow souall on he
" Peak" First, out of the ethereal blue of
the winter sky there arose little cloud
near the summit. 1t was an dVdnt cottyie-;
others followed thick and fast, until a
dense white mass was rolling above it.
Now, from its center reaches down
tongue, assuming funnel shape as it de-
scends. And the SHOWS below respond.
They rise to meet their brethren of the air
The form of the mountain disappears in.
the strife of the upper and lower currents
of wind and snow. We can see, but do
not hear the rush of the elements. The
scene is framed against the transcendent
blue of the sky. And the moon, distinctly
visible by day in these attitudes, rides in
unclouded beauty above il all. The tourists :
have fled, and the springs are lonely. This,
inhabitants rest from their summer labors,
fortifying themselves for the assault of
the great army OF travellers that returns as
regularly as the birds and flowers.
Nothing enjoys this periodical repose and
freedom more than the pretty, little, meek
eyed burros. They wander unmolested
everywhere, subsisting upon the bunch

MEXICAN TRAIN ROBBERS,
Fate of the Brigands who Captured the
Mapula Train,

Mapula Train.
Ell PAso TEX. January 15th.-Contrary
to expectations entertained at El Paso, the
Mapula train robbers have been caught,
and by this time have probably been put
up against an adobe wall and shot, either
at Chihuahua or Mapula.
The capture was brought about through
almost incredible idiocy. One robber, who
calls himself DOC" Hines, actually
boarded at Chihuahua Mexican Central
passenger train, with the intention of es-
Gaping to FL Paso. The least glimmer of
common sense would have shown him that
the whole country was aroused, and to ven
ture out in public, let alone board q train,
would be to deliberately invite capture and
death. But he committed that colossal
blunder, was recognized and arrested. and
then exposed his comrades in crime thus
dishonoriBg even the little honor said to
exist among thieves.
Orders have been given that all passenger
trains on the Mexican Central Railroad
shall hereafter be guarded by detachments
of troops. This was done for i long time
after the railroad first commenced running,
but during the past two or three years the
habit has fallen into disuse, owing to the
long period of quiet security which had
prevailed along the line
The gang of robbers consisted of Charley
Small, the leader, raised IN San Antonio,
Tex; Doc. Hines, who was the first ar
rested; Hutchinson, former brakeman of
the Mexican Central Railroad, and two Ari-
zona cowboys. Hines stated that they
were at the Rancho Viejo, near Horcasitos
station, forty-ive miles south of Chihua-
hua.
A detachment of Mexican troops set out
Immediately to capture them.

4 Very Simple Fact.

A good ruleinpolitcs or in war is to learn
what the enemy want you to do-and not
do it. \ case in point is emphasized by n
remark Of the Savannah Nelrs, which is
boisterously for Cleveland. "The Demo-
cratic party" it says, "hNs no reason for
desiring the disorganization of the Prohibit
tion party The reason it gives very
frankly to be because ''the Prohibitionists in
the doubtful states are mainly Republicans,
and the increase ofthe Prohibition party i'm
proves the chances Of the Democratic
party
A fact so plainly stated ought not To be
lost upon those whom It most concerns.
Ninetecn-twentieths of the ant-saloon vot-
ers in the north are Republicans, and large
proportion of those who have voted the
independent ticket have done so with no
purpose to help the Democrats. They have
simply misconceived the effect of their vote.
They did not anticipate that their diversion
in New York and New Jersey would be
sufficient TO elect q Democratic President.
The last presidential election was an edu-
Gator for temperance men, and reminders
like that Of the Savannah Nelrs will confirm
them in the determination to return to the
ranks of the only party which has legislatel
practically against the liquor traffic.

Mn. LUTHER r. MARSH, the well.known New
York lawyer who has fallen into the strange
dclusion that his large collection Of paintings
have been produced by the old masters through
a woman known as Madame Diss Debar, finds
a sort Of parallel in Washington in u lady who
believes She is the wife of the erratic and
already much.married monarch Henry VIII.
SO far as the material world is concerned this
lady is unmarried. Her father Is a gentleman
Of wealth, education, and good character.
The family has always moved in emlnently
respectable circles until since the daughters
strange hallucination. In this her family
| seems to share, and its absurdty has caused
| them to lose some of their old friends and
has brought about them a swarm Of sympa
thetic creatures who have found 1t to their
financial advantage. The daughter is now
about thirty, and while she is not beautiful
she is not unattractive, and her conversation,
when outside the one inevitable theme
of the spiritualistic, Is intelligent and
pleasing. Her delusion Is absolute and
complete. She has no more doubt of her mar.
riage to Henry VIII than Mrs. Cleveland has
Of her marriage TO the President, The fact that
Henry had bad luck with his wives, and that
he had six while yet on the earth in no way
discouraged this latest addition TO the list.
One would have thought, owing to the preju.
dice that exists against Henry as marriagca-
BILE man, that any lady at this late day going
into the business of marrying deceased king
would have selected one freer from other
matrimonial entanglements. But there is no
accounting for tastes. Henrys seventh and
last wife believes she is accompanied by her
lord wherever she goes, and holds communlca'
tion with him many times every day. He
seems to take u deep interest in all her per.
sonal affairs and gives her n great deal OF
good advice as to what TO do or what not to

his earlier consorts, he seems 10 be entirely
satisfied with this last one, and she in return
finds In him all the comfort and consolation
that any wife could ask, and Is, therefore,
thoroughly cOntentod. Mr.. Marsh, of New
York, seems to be taking the same delight in
his pictures by Raphael and other great mas
tcrs that this Washington lady does in her
royal spouse, and as Mr.. Marsh is not only an
eminent lawyer, but man Of great wealth
and prominent position, he Is at this moment
center of attraction. lie 80 thoroughly be.

OBSERVANCE OF HOLY WEEK.
Interesting Services in the Catholic
and Episcopal Churches

Interesting Services in the Catholic
and Episcopal Churches.
The most impressive services of the Cath
Ole Church incident to holy week com
menccd with the high mass of yesterday.
At this service two hosts were consecrated,
and the priests We're vested In their
white garments. The mass itself was com
mcmOrative of the last supper. On the in
tonation Of the "Gloria in Excelsis" all the
bells were rung and musical instruments
played. At the conclusion the bells and
organs were hushed, and will remain silent
until the "GlOrian at Saturdays mass, when
all will be sounded again.
At the close of the mass the priests and
acolytcs formed In procession, and carried
one of the previously consecrated hosts to
the repository which had been prepared for
IL, The altar had been decorated with Il
profusion of pottcd plants and luXuriant
cut flowers, while all around and about were
thousands Of lighted candles, The reposi-
tory remained open during the day and
night, and was visited by throngs of de-
NUut Catholics.
All the churches will to-day appear in
deep mourning In recognition of the com
memOratiOn of the cruci XiOn. After the
reading of the lamentations will follow the
NuOTullOn Ol INC cross, Al lnls ceremony
the priests and all Of their assistants within
the sanctuary rail remove their shoes and ap-
prOach for the alteration in stoCkinged feet.
Then comes the alteration by the congrcga-
tiOn at large.
This ceremony having been concluded
procession similar to that of yesterday will
re formed and the host cOnsccratcd the day
previous will be returned to the main altar
of the church, where the mass Of the pre-
sanctiiied will he celebrated. On this day.
Good Friday the Catholic church celebrates
Il mass during which no host is cOnsecrated.
This is the only day in the year ON which
this occurs.
The services incident TO Holy Saturday
are the most interesting and impressive Of
any in the church calcnday. Everything to
be used during the church year Is blessed
and cOnsecrated anew. Fire Is struck from
flint at the portals Of the church. This is
blessed, and from this fuel is taken the live
Goals for the incense to he used during the
services. The blessing of the lights and
holy water follows, The reading of the
prophecies and the litNny is followed by the
celebration Of the mass, and when
Gloria is reached the bells are rung,
the organ played, aud the church
cmergcs from lis season Of sorrow and
pcnitcnce 10 one of joy and cNultation.
The "Tcnchr0c' and Stations of the
Cross are given each night in all of the
churches.

The bill for the exposition here in '92
was yesterday referred by the House com
mittec on foreign relations to subcommit-
lee composed of Mcssrs Belmont, of New
York: Chapman, Of Michigan; Norwood, of
tcorgia; Hit, of Illinois, and Phelps, of
New Jersey. This is good geographical
distribution, and we have great confidence
in the good sense and public spirit Of the
men appointed, They have confded to
them a subject of the greatest importance to
the United States in general and to the city
of Washington in particular. 1t was to Mr..
Belmont. chairman of the committee on for
r!gn affairs, that the country is chiefly in
dchtcd for handsome appropriation for an
honorable representation at the Paris expo
,iiion next year, and we have no doubt the
same broad and patriotic stand he took on
that question he will take on the still larger
une now before him.

average production of silver was about 20
per cent. OF the aggregate average produc-
tion Of both gold and silver.
From 1850 TO 1915, the year in which
silver was demonetizcd the production of
gold was about 20 per cent of the aggregate
production of both gold and silver. Not
withstandihg these changes in production
there was no change in the relative value Of
the two metals. Since the demonstration
Of silver the production of the two metals
has been about equal, and gold has al
vanced, as compared with silver, about %
per cent.
We have alluded TO Senator Platt, not for
the purpose Of rejecting on that gentleman,
but to show the need of discussion in the
Senate and the improperly Of ignoring the
subject while its leading members are SO lily
Informed Of the elementary facts necessary
for legislators to know. 1t is presumed
that Senator Plat was the best informed Of
any Of the single standard advocates in the
Senate, as he Is modest man and would
not have spoken at all II II had not been the
general understanding of his associates on
that side Of the question that he was fit
person to express the views of the mono
metallists in that body.
We venture to say that three-fourths Of
all the voters of the United States know
that silver has declined because it was de.
monetiZed, and for no other reason and the
Senate had better take sufficient time to
discuss the subject to learn as much.
There need be no fear Of injuring the Re
publican party by a discussion of the silver
question. 1t is the party Of ideas, the party
of principle. 1t became great because II
had the courage of its convictions. Its
present danger is strangulation by its lead
crs, mystiflcation and double dealing after
the manner of the willy Democrats, because
the Democrats can succeed by hoodwinking
their followers. The Republicans do not
look for success by any such means, and II
the silver question is smothered by Rcpub.
lcan leaders, the country will presume that
there is something wrong that the Senate Is
trying to conceal.
