drowned, and since then he has had

doubtful If he lives. Fred. Walker,

both of his horses. And number

The British policy of the last ad.
ministratiou is likely to give the
government serious trouble. The
great fad of the Cleveland people
was to be as un-American as possi-
BILE. Their free trade notions were
carried SO far that they were OF the
opinion that Americans could not
build ship, and the late secretary
of the navy set about the construc.
ton of new navy by sending to
obtain plans from British navy es-
tablishment upon which to build the
new cruisers.
A large sum of money was spent
for this sort of thing-how large
Congress was not able to find out.
II is said to be against public policy
to tell. However, the plans for the
battle ship Texas, now under con-
structIon at the Norfolk navy yard,
were purchased by the late secretary
of the navy in England, and they are
radically defective. Those defects
which are still radical, notwithstand-
ing the patching which was done by
Secretary Whitney, haye now been
called to the attention of Secretary
Tracy.
The statement is again reiterated
by naval expects that the ship will
not float If constructed on the pres
ent plans. The plans were "modified''
and Secretary Whitney ordered the
work to proceed, and it now is said
that the notifications were guess
work and that the guess was wrong.
Meanwhile the work is at stand
still. The stem which was reported
under the Whitney regime to be in
place has not even yet been cast and
it is said that the requirements of
the plans make it several feet too
short for the ship. II is even report
cd that all that there is of the ship
which has been said to be SO rapidly
progressing are few plates in posi-
ton.
A court of inquiry seems inevitable
and if there has been lying as well
as blupdering and a subserviency to
an English fad some courts martial
may follow.

stock train of an equal number, will
start out Of Coldwell, in a few days,
at the same identical time, and make
trial of speed between that point

both roads are enthusiastic, and are
willing to bet their money on their

trainmasters of each road have given
orders to the switcbmen to be IN red

The trifiing manner in which many
of our exchanges talk of "Gov.
Cooper's duty" would lead stranger
to suppose that Gov. Cooper did not
have sense enough to know he was
Governor of Colorado. This grows
out of the tendency of the country
press to dance as their favorite Den
yer daily newspaper 6ddles. A large
numbe of them remind The Graphic
of a street organ grinders monkey.
They seem to have no will and no
idea of their own, and if they haye
yield it whenever the organist jerks
his string. Another class, ignorant
of the true motive underlying the
policy of the dailies, applaud what
ever they say merely to 500 their par
agraphs reprinted. A little more of
the spirit of inquiry and independ-
ence will do the country press. no
harm.-Denver Graphic.

Assistant Secretary Chandler has
handed down an elaborate decision
in the case of Elwood S. Bradbury
vs.. Martin f. Dickinson, involving
the validity of Dickinson's additional
homestead entry for the west half of
the northwest quarter of section
twelve. township twenty-three, range
forty-four, Lamar land district, which
effects a portion of the townsIte of
Granada.
Dickinson's entry was cancelled
without hearing, and under the pc
culiar circumstances Assistant Secre-
tary Chandler disapproves of the
same and modifies the decision of
the commissioner Of the general land
office by ordering new hearing, at
which the present holders and occu-
pants of the land will be given an
opportunity to defend the validity of
said entry.
The conditions of said land as to
its occupancy for trade and business
and for townsite purposes will be in
aulred into and ascertained at SAID
hearing.
If Dlckinson's entry shall,'as a re-
suit of this hearing, be finally can
celed, then the respective rights of
Bradbury and occupants of the land,
as lot owners or otherwise, should be
considered and determined.

that he is horse thief glibly and

blush with ahame at being compell-

who will lie and swear to it can look

and swear that he tells nothing but

The Most Exclusive Club in Paris.

When the poet Francois COppee was
elected to the Academy he was obliged
to give up his weekly theatrical article
in La PatTie newspaper in order to
avoid criticising the works of his col
leagues of the Academie-Augier, Du-
mas, SardOu, Pailleron, and Labiche.
Auguste Vacquerie has repeatedly re-
fused to be a candidate at the Acade
my, although his election was certain;
he viii not sacrifice one atom of his in
dependence Of thought and OF pen.
The same is. the case with AlphOnse
Daudet and half q dozen other distin-
guished French writer's, who viii never

he Is not a man of their sphere" 1t
was for social and sartOrial reasons
of this nature that the Academy DIES
Beauz-Arts refused to have anything
to do with the sculptor Rude. One of
the reasons which the French Academy
alleged for refusing Balzac was that he
had debts; and Alfred de Musset was
for long time kept waiting at the door
because his craYats were not tied as
correctly as the Academicians desired.
The great Dumas was rejected because
he had cOl1abOraters, although the same
fact had not stood In the way Of Mon
sieur Scribe; Baudelaire and Flaubert
were pronounced ineligible because
their books had no immediate moral
utility; and the only reason found for
not encouraging Gautier was that he
had long and abundant hair, whereas a
perfect Aeademician ought to be bald
ish at least. Indeed there is good
deal of truth In the paradozical defni-
ton of the Academy as the most ex-

The Poison Habit.

All poison habits are progressive.
Every time an individual INDUCES in
the use Of a stimuIant, whether opium,
alcohol, cocaine, qUinine, etc, the
habit gains strength. The dose must
be repeated more frequently and in
creased in quantity. The popular
language in which habit is said to be
growing upon" a person is very ez-
pressive. In very short time the
system becomes so habituated to the
use of these pOisOns that any attempt
to withdraw them is followed by q ire
mendOus commotiOn. Have you ever
seen the man or woman who is accus-
toned to drink tea or coffee every
morning, placed in circumstances
where it was impossible to obtain the
accustomed beverage? The physical
and mental nature of the person is com
pIeteIy changed Languid, stupid,
sick, irritable, the system VIII not be
satisfied until it has received its accus-
toned stimuIant. And the tea and
coffee habit is the miIdest to overcome.
The poisonous principle Of tea Is theme,
a strong narcotic poison In its concen-
trated form. Deprive the tea leaves of
this poison and no one would drink tea.
1t would be like so much STEPPED

ciple of coffee is of much the same ma
ture. But the tea and coffee habits
are the miIdest Of the ist.-H. c..
