Wolcott'S Speecn.

DENVER, Colo, Nov 19.-In the after
noon the congress appointed one vice
president from each state. j. V.
Sl.if, director of the mining depart
ment OF the Worlds fair, was given
thirty minutes to set forth the advantages
of the Columbian exposition and the neces-
sity of mining states making an exhibit
that would give the world an idea of the
Importance of the industry.
Senator E. o. Wolcott was called
upon. In the course of his speech
the senator set at rest all doubts as
to his position upon the silver
question. "1he work of this congress-
he said, will be most beneficial to US all in
the fund of information we shall gather and
in the fact that it brings closer together
men from all over the United States engaged
in the same industry 1 trust you will
shape into proper form such matters as re-
quire legislation. AS to these matters, 1
should be glad to follow your judg.
ment in all, with one possible, not
probable, exception. No matter what
the result of your deliberations
may be, as a loyal son of Colorado, and no
matter what may be the wishes of the ma
jority of the party to which 1 be-
long, or its chief executive, and
no matter how much my course
may remove me from the sunlight
of official patronage, until some new light
crosses my vision that is not yet dimmed, l
shall, SO long as remain in public life, vote
for the free and unlimited coinage of sill
vern
Three cheers were called for and given
with a will, the entire audience rising and
applauding to the echo. A scene of con-
fusion arose as the delegates repeated the
ovation and continued the demonstration
until the president raped for order.
Z. r. Holden was called to the platform
as the leader of the faction that calls for
the coinage of the American product only
He predicted disaster and ruin to
the banking and general COM
Tuercial system of the country
if for eign nations were allowed to unload
their silver upon the United States
and receive gold in return. He
asserted that Mexico in another year
would produce more silver than this coun-
try, and that one small district in Aus
tralia was preparing to produce more silver
than Colorado.
Ill that was wanted was the encourage
ment of free coinage
Charles S. Thomas of Colorado replied to
these arguments in sufficient review that
boldly advocated free and unlimited coin
age as the only way to correct the abuses
of the miner. The congress then adjourned
till tomorrow.

How a Halter Made Money.

It is said that Partisan halter is get
ting rich as result of the French craze
for everything Russian. The story goes
that some months ago he invested largely
in low crowned hats Of q style affected by
q certain class of English turfmen. They
were hideous, and nobody would buy
them. Then came the visit Of Admiral
Gervais to Russia, with all its consequent
enthusiasm, and the shrewd tradesman
put some of his dead stock in the window
with the simple label, "Cronstadt." The
trick succeeded to admiration. All the
scorned hats were sold in a few hours, be-
cause they were supposed to resemble the
headgear of the Moujik, and now the fac
tories can scarcely supply enough of them
to meet the demand.

presenting a petition to Judge
Noonan of the Thirty-seventh district
court this morning, in which they recited
the difficulties they had experienced in ar
resting Judge King of the F'orty-f dis
trict court while hearing case, endeavor-
lug to show that they should not
have been held for contempt by
that court. The petition concluded by re-
questing that they be discharged, owing to
the fact that they have found so much OBJ
sructiOn in every way. Judge Noonan re-
pied that while he sympathized with
them. yet they had been duly
empaneled and could not be discharged
until their labors had been finished. In the
matter of fine for contempt assessed
against them by Judge King for endeavor-
ing to arrest him while holding court
Judge Noonan stated that he was unable to
help them, and the grand jurors will conse-
quently be compelled to pay so. Their pay

Contagion In Laundry Tubs.

While much is written and said on the sub
Ject OF sanitary plumbing" as to the piping,
traps, vents, ETC., which shall be used in pro
Yiding against the dangerous gases emanating
from the sewer connection, there is one matter
the importance of which is too generally over
looked, viz: the stationary wash tub with
which our laundres are furnished. While we
insist that the escape and overflow shall be
properly trapped, we forget that in the com
position OF the tub Itself we have allowed to
remain an element of danger second only
to the one we have SO carefully summed
The fact that porous material used in the
construction of laundry tubs, such as wood
cenent, ETC., is poor economy is generally
understood, but the danger to health arising
from the absorptiye nature of such materials is
not SO generally recognized. Let us illustrate.
A child is taken sick with scarlet fever. The
soiled clothing of bed and child is washed
in porous wash-tub which absorbs the filthy
water containing the germs of the disease
These may lie dormant for time, but sooner
or later will make themselves felt in fresh
outbreak of the fever to the surprise of all in
the house, who are at a loss to know whence
came the exposure. Thus it is that users of
porous tubs are daily exposing themselves to
serious causes of sickness and disease.
