AMI SEIfENTS.
CRAWFORD GRAND.

For an organization that has been on
! the road but one week and its members
scarcely acquainted with one another we
/ must admit that the Criterion Dramatic
( company's rendition of Our Boys" last
evening was exceptionally fine. The large
! audience present thoroughly enjoyed the
( hearty humor Of the piece As a rule
/ our Boys is not relished by the average
audience-its diction being too high flown
{ and the comedy points too refined. IL IS a
comedy proper for none but cultured,
: reading people. and this just reflects all
/ the more credit on both the audience and
company Of last evening that the piece
was so thoroughly enjoyed.

welcome on her first entrance as Mary

SOME FIGURES ON PAVING.

/ 10 the Editor or the Eagle.
Without questioning the motion of
the city councilmen who voted for the
sandstone pavement, it might be
( well to look at the facts and figures as
/ they now exist and are today in the same
| condition found on Monday evening dur
ing the executive session.
First the bids were as follows: Asphalt
UNI, 3. 50 per square yard; Fort Collins
sandstone, 3 63 Colorado red sandstone,
81 IS aud $2.3S per square yard. The total
number of yards estimated by the engin-
eer is 10, 1853 The cost therefore of the
different pavements mentioned above
would be fer aSphaltum at =. 50 per square
yard 1923, 206.S4; Fort Collins sandstone at
- 63 per square yard 1921, 362. 10; Colorado
red stone at S2.33 per square
yard S107. 51S.55; and the Colorado
red sandstone at S2.3S per square yard
S109, S25.S1. For keeping in repair the
pavement the city engineer provides that
the first five years shall be without cost to
the city. and the bids for repair would
necessarily he on the last ten years. For
asphaltum the price Is 10 cents per yard,
or total cost of SAG, AS 30 for the ten
years. The Fort Collins sandstone is PIC
cents per yard, or a total for ten years of
81, 3. The Colorado red sandstone at
2.33 per yard is the same. While the
parties who bid on the Colorado red sand
stone at LBS seem to have so much faith in
the material they will use, that instead of
the pavement costing the city nothing for
repairs the first five years, by their bid
they guarantee this pavement the first ten
years without cost and at one u cent per
square yard for the remaining five years,
or an additional s, 301.26.
Now, let us see which is the cheaper
pavement. AsDhaltum, first cost S1!9,-
2O6.Si; repairs ten years S46, 1880,
Collins sandstone, first cost 1921 So. l3; re-
pairs ten years S1l, 1862, or a total OF
Sl32, SOS 10; Colorado red stone at 1888. first
cost SIO7 5IS 50. repairs ten years ST. SO. 81
or total OF Sis, 054 s.: the Colorado red at
81 s. first cost SI09 50 81, repairs five years
=, 307 70, or total of Sll3, 1897. BY max
ing a comparison we find the cost to the /
tax payers for fifteen years to be:
Fort Collins sandstone .......... -, sos - |
Colorado red at =. 80. ....... ll9.054 = |
Colorado red at s. IS. ............ 1l2 153 o. /.
1t is unnecessary to say more as the /
figures speak for themselves, and are | be- /
heve as correct as may be obtained The 4
bids also include white cedar which ! am I
informed could have been placed upon .
concrete foundation for about 81 $ per +
square yard. This is much cheaper than .
either from a cheap standpoint, and in the /
estimation Of many citizens Is nearer TO /
what should be used upon Main street than /
either OF the others. WICHITA.

The agitation among the wine men over Mr..

brands OF champagne and rejecting other brands
is increasing. and several well-known wine mer-
chants who were seen by an EVENING WORLD
reporter this morning predicted that there will
be n livelier rumpus for the Committee to ouell
than they have already struck.
Out of the seven brands that are popular only
two have been selected in addition to tho special
brand that has been imported for the exclusive
use Of the 400"

drinking certain brands of wine which were
