The city of Spokane entirely surrounds
the town of Denver. Denver has a mayor
and a complete town government, and the
Denverites will not allow Spokane to tres
pass on their streets with its water pipes,
its gas pipes. or its electric light wires. A
Spokane policeman who chased a fugitive
into Denver was arrested by Denver con-
stable for disturbing the peace. Spokane,
however, claims that Denver is within it's
jurisdiction, and until the matter is set
tied the happy Denverite does not feel
compelled to pay city taxes to anybody.

THE WOMAN BOOK AGENT.
She Is Entitled to Consideration, ThOugl
 She Gets but Little.

She Is Entitled to Consideration, Though
 She Gets but Little.
 Of all the wage-earners of the gentler sex the woman book agent is most to be pitied. She, owing to her occupation, has to struggle not only against the trials usually attendant on woman's starting out in life for herself, but she must oppose the tradition of years that has caused people to regard her as an unmitigated nuisance.
 Rememb Der, dear "lady of the house," how you would feel if the wheel of fate should revolve with sufficient speed to throw you on your own resources and you were compelled, in order to eke out an existence, to ring strange door-bells, interview sharp-tongued and uncharita- ble members of your own sex, walk many mile through dust or rain, your one shabby black gown growing shab- bier with each days wear, and going home at night with perhaps only one order, which means for all the hours of labor not enough to pay for substan- tial meal.
 Of course, it is very trying when your servant announces Ca lady in the parlor wishes to see you, ma'am," and you hastily don your most becoming tea gown, give your hair an extra brush and twist descend to the waiting stran- ger with your company manners on and find, instead of the caller expected, ! faded woman with the inevitable pack age or little bag, who commences at | once on the beauties of the book she | wishes to canvass
 No wonder you are cross and put out, but change places with her and would you not be a greater coward in her | position? You are in your own house. | She has edged in under false pretenses, l for such has her vocation become that, | once let it be known that she is book | agent, she will have the door slammed | in her face. Therefore she must dis semble and enter your abode under the | guise of a social caller.
 | She realizes your displeasure and l talks all the harder to cover her own | embarrassment. Tears may be very near the surface, and the hands that | struggle to unite the knots that bind her wares together may be trembling with nervousness, yet she must talk on. She must urge the sale if possible, and | when at last she is perhaps not too l politely shown the door she knows that
 the same ordeal must be gone through with many times before she can seek the shelter of the poor place she calls home and give up to the luxury of a good cry, for she is but woman after all, with a woman's heart and tender feelings
 Of course the pushing, aggressive members of the body need no sympathy. They will get on in life no matter how many rebuffs come, but we make our appeal for the poor, timid little woman
 who takes up this occupation as the only thing open to her, and who in her shrinking way endeavors to impress you
 with the value of her offerings.
 Do not be too hard upon the next one
 that calls upon you; if you cannot buy,
 at least be kind, for in the life of these
 women consideration is almost an un-
 known factor and means more to them
 than you in the shelter of your own
 home, with the world smiling upon you,
 can ever know.-Philadelphi Times.

CONDITION OF THE NEW ENGLAND.
The Light Rails West of Waterbury Show
 the Effect of Heavy Traffic.

The Light Rails West of Waterbury Show
 the Effect of Heavy Traffic.
 In their report on the condition of the New York 6 New England railroad the commissioners say:
 We are pleased to be able to report as the result of our inspection of your road on the 27th and 29th of September that we found marked improvement since our spring inspection, in the alignment and surface of the track, and an in creased force of men west of Waterbury are now endeavoring to accomplish the work which smaller force were unable to perform earlier in the season. The light rails west of Waterbury show the effects of heavy traffic and will soon need considerable renewal; and, not withstanding the large number of ties which have been placed in the track the present season, provision should be made for an equally large renewal for the coming season, as many of those which remain are badly worn by the rails. It seems to us that those in charge of the maintenance-ofway de- partment are struggling to maintain the condition of the track with an insuffi- cient number of men.
 Among special recommendations the commissioners say that Git will soon be- come imperatively necessary to com plete the filling of the Hop Brook trestle."

The "Car of Music' showed group or singing angels presided over by Harmony. From the centre of the float rose an i'm mense Tyre.
 On the "Car of Science' were models typical of the latest discoveries in astron- omy, mechanics and other arts. Pasteur, Koch and Haffkine were represented.
 The ''Car of Poetry and Romance" typihed flowing brook, around which were seated the figures of all the American authors of note and poets.
 A young girl seated in 8 rocking chair on globe surrounded by all classes of women portrayed the Supremacy of the American Woman"
 A throne between two spheres, on which were seated the Emperor and Em- press, represented the United Oceans. On 8 swelling sea, surrounded by mer- maids, were two sirens carrying the City of New York. 'fColumbia's Ship of Sta te" was represented by a Roman galley manned by centurions in full Roman dress. All the American Presidents were represented on this float. Columbia was at the helm.
 Cappa's Central Park band preceded the "Car of Electra" the last float in the pageant. Twenty winged Amazons on horseback acted as an escort. This float was the handsomest one of all It was fitted with electrical appliances of all de- vices.
 Five thousand members of the Inn proved Order of Red Men brought up the rear of the parade. Between each float and division were carried banners depict . ing historical scenes.
 COLUMBUS STATUE UNVEILED.
 A formal manifestation of the good will existing between the United States and Italy and of the sense of obligation this country entertains to Christopher Colum- bus was made yesterday by the unveiling of a statue of the greatest of all discover CTS, fresh from the master hand of Gae- tano Russo.
 The unexpected length of the military parade greatly interfered with the un- yelling programme. It kept Vice Presi- dent Morton, Gov. Morton and Mayor Grant away. These officials all sent rep resentatives.
 Shortly after o'clock Miss Barsotti broke the threads which held in place the drapery around the monument. The drapery fell away, the expectant throng gave an earnest shout, and the stone Columbus stood ID all it's beauty, receiving the plaudits and acknowledge ments of thousands. The bands played the national air of Italy, the Garibald March, and the societies in the amphi theatre took up the stirring music and paraded around the base of the monu ment, shouting and gesticulating with al the ardor and determination of their en thusiastic race.
 When the people had shouted until | they could shout no more, Archbishop Corrigan impressively blessed the stone | after which President Barsotti came tC the rail and formally presented the mon ument to the City of New York.

CHICAGO, June 20-The Minnesota
delegation held harmonious meeting
at their headquarters in the Grand Pa
cific at 10 o'clock this morning, and in
short time proportioned out the va
riouS positions that will fall to the state
in the coming convention. Nearly
every member of the delegation was
present with his alternate at the OPEN
ing, and the absent delegates shortly
afterwards came in. Crawford Liv-
ingston, of st. Paul, was given the po-
sition of alternate to lion. e. ID. O'Brlen,
to which Daniel Aberle had been
elected. Mr.. Aberle was unable
to be present, and gave his proxy
TO Mr.. Livingstone. John NJ. Dickson
succeeded Wilson Borst as alternate to
James Manning, of the Second district.
During the work of fixing up the men,
berShip, Judge Thomas Wilson and
Charles J. Haines, of WabaSha, filled
the positions respectfully of temporary
chairman ami temporary secretary.
Both were later unanimously elected to
the positions permanently. The dele
CATION then proceeded to the regular
order of business. and unanimously

ing. and on the third ballot chose j. G.
Prather national committeeman over
Charles H. Jones and Eph Ewing. The
fight in this delegation has been. a very
bitter one. as it is supposed that the
next senatOrship from Missouri depends
on the choice that was made this morn
ing. Prather is understood to be par
ticularly friendly TO Francis. the gov
ernOr of the state. and Ewing was the
representative of his br0ther-in-law,
Senator Cockrell. Col. Jones did not
urge his candidacy, and the only thing
he asked of the delegation was to repre-
sent it on the platform committee,
place which was given to him without
canteSt.
c. c. Moffitt. one of the delegates at
large, was selected chairman of the
delegation. and the members of the diff
ferent committees were named. The
caucus then took up the construction to
be placed upon the instructions given
by the Missouri state convention, es-
pecially with regard to the unit rule,
and debated it until long after the
dinner hour. After a hard fight the
delegation decided by unanimous vote
to stand as unit for Cleveland as long
as his name was before the convention.
Clardy violently opposed the unit rule,
and in every way endeaVOred to force
individual action. &. II. Jones. how
ever. champiOned the first proposition,
and after a long and bitter fight the
chairman was ordered to cast the entire
vote for Cleveland from first 10 last, or
until his name was withdrawn.
