out In pretty flower beds and is bounded by a

My next cents IN car fare gave me the
right to enter and admire the three cemeteries
which, like three well-kept gardens, mark the
places where Cheyennc's dead sleep their
last sleep. The Catholic cemetery is in the
center, with the Odd Fellows on one side and
the City GENE terry on the other.

shape OF an Indians war bonnet. Mrs. Carey
has fitted the bonnet round tine big newell post

Dull TIMES IN CHEYENNE.
Cheyenne INDUCED in tremendous expecta-
tions after the admission of the territory 10
statehood. but the few business people with
whom L talked told me that the last six months
were the duliest they had ever known. The
busiest place 1 the railroad station,
at the hours of the arrival and departure of the
eastern aud western trains. When gotaboard
my train for Denver. | could not but feel that
the eyes Of the whole town were upon me and
lcomported myself In keeping with the dignity
thus conferred
DIFFERENT IN DENVER.
Now, that is not the way they do in Denver.
There's a push and rustic here in every
branch OF business, and if you want to keep up
with the PROCESSION you must step up lively.
At least SO l argue.
Tomorrow is Labor day. That, l suppose. il
the reason that they worked So hard yesterday
and far into the night. A Denver Saturda !

are seems Bowery or two rolled into one in
congruous mixture. The streets are all one
blare OF light and noise, brass bands and ped
dlers-enough to make steady Washington
head swim.

across it, as you would follow the squares on a
chess board, By using the cable and electric
cars If there are any relics of effete civilian

full OF information and when they see you want

He told that old story about the man who
offered SO day to laborers. and when he had
succeeded IN bringing al army Of them from
the east he came pretty near being lynched
when he gave $50 day instead. That was
thirty years ago, and the same illnsive hope
still exists in the minds of many who go west
The new capitol building, now in course of
erection, will be a notable example of the big
ideas of the state. All around il are the homes
Of the fashionable folks. and mansions they are,
too. Denverites do not run over them as they
did over the palace ex-senator Tabor built for
himself few years ago.
TABOR AND HIS OPERA HOUSE.
l went to the matinee yesterday at the Tabor
Grand Opera House, not for the sake of the
play, though it was an amusing musical mix
ture and infinitely better than Washington ever
gets at the early season, but entirely TO see the
house have always associated II with that
sensational marriage of the then month-old-
Senator and statesman and tie golden haired
lady at 10 O'Clock one night at Wizards Hotel.
may have been expected at that wedding but
certainly was not hidden. In company with
one other representative of the newspaper
world we saw the ceremony from a convenient
crack in a convenient door. Sizing 1t all up,
with the serio-comic and tragic elements figur-
ing in the whole business, doubt if the
stage of the gorgeous opera house has witnessed
anything as interesting as that scene from real
life. Mr.. Tabor keeps on piling up the dollars
and seems top Of the heap in the financial
world.

LITTLE THINGS.
Just for tho fun Of it have enjoyed myself

have a bearing in the making up of the twelfth

when there are women riding with them in
elevators. They do the same thing here.
