overheard between two ladies few even

speaking of a man who had ''inhaled"
some money aud had put it in govern

later on. when the subject changed to
quack medicine, she said the doctor had
ordered her not to take any more pills as
they worked boils off of her livers too
much.

1T is very easy to be mistaken. cspeci-
ally in the sex of little child. Our re-
porter last week IN noticing the bicycle ex-
ercise of Mr.. Charles N. Pettee and grand
child, from some cause supposed it to be
little girl when the fact is it was boy.
He is very sorry about the matter and ex-
plains it in this manner. When the photo
graph was taken as Mr.. Pettee was pass
ing down the street and going very fast.
the head of the little one popped up out
of the basket and made such charming
picture, he took it for granted that it was
a little girl, as no boyish face ever made
snch an impression on him before. We
are glad that so many people noticed the
mistake our reporter made and told him
of it. 1t will perhaps make him more
careful in the future.

Locomotive Fircmen Will Go Into the
Inbor St.hcnp


DENVER. Special. Nearly 13O delegates of
the international Brotherhood OF Locomotive
Firemen. representing every section of the
United States met in secret session to con-
slider the question Of proposed federation Of
labor, now agita.lng tho Brotherhood of Lo-
Z @uotive Engineers. John j. Msnnhan, vice
o I'd naster, whose headquarters are in

delk .rations. Tho entire afternoon was
spent in discussing tho proposition. The
only question uron which the fremen
differed wero those of detail. TWAS evident
thot the frcmcn were IN favor of feder alton,
tho various trades unions retaining their
autonomy and the right of self government;
In other words tho individual
labor organization will under the
proposed plan occupy the same
relation to tie Whole body Of organized
labor that the respective states bear to the
fedora! union. The matter was thoroughly
explained by Hannahan md other advoca es,
utter which tho convention voted unani-
lnously In favor OF federation and
appointed committee to notify the
brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers of the
result, which can but have its influence in
deciding the question when it comes before
the engineers for 6nai action. The delegates
will await the action of the engineers, and
it may be that another session is necessary
before thorough understanding is
reached. Another question came before
tho meeting. 1t rose from q clause in the

toba men were ordered to charge uron them

Salt Water Evidences.

AS you 60 down the steep hill ut
the new cemetery which leads to the
basin of the Ocopilco, and when
about half way down, on the right
and left you will see a bed of shells of
marine fish. 1t is plainly defiled on
the wall of either embankment, and
would seem to Indicate that at one
period of the worlds history our lit
tie Ocopilco, at times only n few
spans wide, was a large salt river,
with ebb and flow of tide, and that
some prehistoric race gathered oys-
ters and left the shells piled up where
they are now visible. Who were
they? The question will doubtless
remain unanswered. Not n trace of
them has been found, unless the oys-
ter shells mentioned be one; but it is
thought by many that this continent
was inhabited centuries before the
Indians got possession Of it, and by
n race OF people well versed in arts
and sciences. Recently discoveries
of ancient cities buried deep beneath
the earth, over which forest trees
perhaps centuries old were growing,
gives color to the beliefthat our con-
tinent once led the world in fine
architecture, in the science, and in
all the elcgances of refined life.-Quit.
