WASHINGTON CITY, April 10 -Secretary
Window yester lay made his first ruling con-

toms at New y FORK in regard to a Swiss en-
broiderer. The latter came to this country to
work In the Newark, N. j., embroidering
works, of which H. Bornsman is proprietor.
The Swiss claimed that he had paid his own
passage to this country, but had secured work
with the firm before leaving Switzerland.
The collector held that a contract had been
made between 5he embroidering works and
the Swiss, and ON account of the secretary's
decision he will bring the case to the atten-
ton of the district attorney at New York.

were left to shift for themselves two miles

by experience. There was even an extra

An Ogden correspondent of the Salt
Lake Tribune says that President Donald
Mclean expects to have at least a thou
sand men at work on the Pacific Short
Line, out from that city. in less than
thirty days; and a gentleman who is able
to vouch for what he says declares that
coal will be placed on sale in this city
from the new coal fields on the line OF the
Short Line within six months from the
first day of August. When Mr.. Mclean
consented to the proposition to fix the
time for the completion of the entire road
within three years from July /. 1889, it
was a clear indication that he meant bust
ness, because according to the terms of
the resolutions granting the bonus, the
whole subsidy is void if the road is not
completed within the time specified.

FAST ELEVEN.
The Alert Boys at Their Old Gait
This Year.
They Take Second Money in Two
Events at Greeley.
The Pioneer Hooks Bring Home a
Second Prize.

Four companies from the volunteer de-
partment of this city entered the lists at
the Greeley tournament and brought
home three prizes and several wads of
valuable pointers. There was a big field
and the Cheyenne lads competed with
crack teams from Boulder, Loveland,
Longmont and Fort Collins. The pro-
gramme was a long one, but the master
of ceremonies kept things moving and
race followed race rapidly. The contests
were close, at all times interesting and at
several points the excitement was intense.
A special train carried the Cheyenne
people to the sylvan resort of tetotalers,
where they were cordially received and
quartered in comfortable apartments.
The speedy Alerts hauled down second
money in the two events in which they
had entered-wet test and straightaway.
In the first they played second fiddle to
the Boulder team, being beaten by two
seconds. Best time, 81; Loveland third.
Loveland took first money in the straight
away in "a 3 5 seconds; Alerts were sec
ond in 25 fat. The Greeley world heaters
were third.
The time tried Pioneer hooks we're sec
ond in the ladder race, being beaten by
the Poudre Valley team.
The Greeley track was very poor. Men
stumbled into holes on the home stretch
and fell. But few teams came through
with all their runners. The Alerts were
three men short and the Clarks, Durants
and Hooks several each at the finish.
The tournament demonstrated that the
Cheyenne teams. und especially the
Alerts, need have no fear of the Colorado
men next week. OF course the boys have
excuses for not bringing home all the
prizes, but these need not be repeated
here.
A casualty occurred during the meet
when a climber fell from a ladder and sus-
tanned injuries from which he died in
about twelve hours.

A LITERARY GEM.
A Curious Communication to the City
Equalization Board.

A former we'll known expressman of
this city. who is now a resident OF Denver
still Owls property in this city. In its
wisdom the city equalization board titred
the valuation submitted by the owner and
told him so on a postal card. Here is a
verbatim copy of his reply:
To the honorably board of appraisers
OF equalization of increasing the value on
my property l hereby make a complaint.
First my property is a lot of no improve
ments and is on the decrease and | cant
realize as much to-day as l could one
year ago and there to the best of my
ability | can't see but what it is a measure
fairly uncalled for to increase the value as
any man or men of a careful examination
of said city property and the welfare of
the city growth will look upon it as l do.
| did intend to build but the propert will
stand increase Of taxes when it is on the
decline, it runs beyond nv Judgment
what it might increase taxes when |
would go to bull so | will have to wait
the decision. This is my sole founda-
ton aud hoping the above named board
will give it their best thoughts before act
ing upon their first laid plan.

implied discrimination, for it is well known
that Madame Modieska acts for all and is
understood and loved by all. She is sup.

An ENJOYABLE Outing.
BY the Picnic Reporter


A very pleasant picnic excursion to
Kingman's ranch on the Fourth. The
attendants we're: j.. w. Lacey and fam
lily, 9. N. Potter and family, j. A. Riner
and family. DR.. Quinby and family,
Marshall Johnson and wife, Mrs. j. w.
Hammond and family, Mrs. W. Van De-
vanter and son, NJ. Thomas Durbin and
family. Miss Carrie Smith, Miss Ada
Williams, Mr.. Fred Hebard, Miss Bertha
johnson, p. F. Powelson and family, Mr..
Clarence Hauck.
Joe Sladeck, the good natured express
man, took in the wagon his things that
go to make up a successful picnic in the
way of eatibles at least, together with a
base ball outfit, croquet set and three or
four hammocks. There were five or six
single buggies and one carriage, with
three misses on horseback, altogether a
merry procession. Much kindness shown
was bv those on the ranch through Mr..
Colin Hunter, one of the best treats be-
ing a large pail of rich creamery milk
brought from the ranch. The good ladies
had prepared enough to feed twice as
many and when the table was spread
oh my-well you know how it is your
self.
The inner self was satisfied muchly.
After things we're cleared away the heavy
men repaired to the field to have a game
Of base ball-base base ball, well we'll
not tell all that happened; suffice it to
say, that some came out snrer, yet wiser
men. | think Mr.. Powelson was the
worst used up of any, as he came out
with a cracked shin and a finger badly
slowed up. Mr.. f. Hebard and Judge
Lacey with some OF the young ladies had
very interesting games of croquct. A
number of children and some of the older
ones did some tall skirmishing after
flowers; the soap weed flower was the
hardest to capture and many hands came
out pricked and bleeding. The target
gun practice was quite an interesting fea-
ture and quite a number of ladies partici-
pated; Mrs. j. w. Hammond and Mrs.
Marshall johnson did some excellent
shooting.

Origin of"we Won't Go Home.

An interesting history of an old and
we'll known comic tune was given by
Prof Ensel, music teacher, in .
speech in the Music Teachers Associa.
ton recently. He said that when the
army of the first Napoleon was in
Egypt in 1899 the camp for awhile was
near the pyramids. One afternoon
about sunset the band was playing.
The inhabitants of the desert had col
lected near and were listening to the
music. Nothing unusual happened
until the band struck up tune which
we now hear under the name of 1--WE
Won't Go Home Till Morning." In-
stantly there were the widest demon
strations of joy among the Bedouins.
They embraced each other and shout
ed and danced in the delirium of their
pleasure. The reason was that they
were listening to the favorite and old
est tune of the people. Prof. Ensel
then stated that the tune had been
taken to Europe from Africa in the
eleventh century by the Crusaders,
and had lived separately in both coun-
tries for over 700 years. This is cer-
tainly enough to make "We Won't Go
Home Till Morning" classic. Its
origin is more of mystery than the
source of the Nile.-LouisUille Post
