HOME FOR PRINTERS.
The Childs-Drexei Institution mt Colo
RADIO Springs Dedicated.


COLORADO SPRINGS. Col, May IA
The dedication of the Childs- Dire xel
Home for Union Printers took place in
this city yesterday. The ceremonies
were of a most interesting charac-
ter and were witnessed by a
large concourse of people. Mayor
Sprague made an address of welcome
to the distinguished visitors, and the
program included speeches by Gov.
Routt, Senator J. II. Gallinger, of New
Hampshire, and George w. Childs.
The building is located one mile
from the city on a small elevation
which overlooks the surrounding coun-
try, including the Garden of the Gods,
Pixies Peak, Manitou and Cheyenne
Canon. 1t is constructed of white
lava stone with red sand
stone trimmings. The style is
renaissance and the construction cost
$50, 900. The home is four stories in
height, and 144 feet front, with a depth
of forty feet. 1t has three towers with
balconies extending along both sides
and on every story. The fund for the
construction of the building was
started in 1886, when George w. Childs
and A. J. Drexel of Philadelphia pre-
scnted the international Topographic
cal union their joint check for $40, 900.
1t has since been added to every year
by the printers.

WAYS OF WOMEN,

Salvation army women have been
forbidden to wear earrings.
The woman with the prettiest face is
not always the most beautiful.
The man who leaves a woman best
pleased with herself is the one she will
soonest wish to see.
Only those who have small feet
ought to wear light shoes, as they tend
to make the feet look very much larger
than they really are.
There are many true ladies, and they

principle of refinement and nobility of

ST. GEORGE.
The Ancient Legend That Tells How II
Slew the Dragon.

The Ancient Legend That Tells How He
Slew the Dragon.
According to the popular legend.
st George who slew We dragon" was
born in the Fourth Century A. D., in
Cappadocia. He became most val.
liant knight at an early age Zone ac-
count says at H. another at 18) and
visited Lydia when in the first flush OF
young manhood. At the time OF his
visit Silena one of the Lybian cities
was being sorely tormented by mon
ster dragon, which poisoned the air
with its baleful breath, devoured
whole flocks and herds, besides daily
demanding a child from among the
children of the citizens" The COM
mon people gave oter their darlings
first. but it finally came TO the arts
tocracy and at last to the kings
household. The kings daughter a
beautiful maiden, had been promised
to the monster on a certain day. When
the day arrived st. George happened
to be riding past on his way to the
Holy Lampili. shrine in the vicinity
OF the lake which the dragon used
as its place OF abode. He saw the
fair damsel weeping distractedly on
the lake shore and knight-like
asked the cause Of her sorrows. When
she had told the woeful tale, he said:
Fear not, | will do battle against the
dragon" At that moment the waters
OF the lake were violently agitated and
in few seconds the horrid creature
appeared upon the beach and made
ready to devour its victim. Quickly
the valiant George charged the loath-
some reptile. repeatedly wounding it
with his lance. In few moments it
was entirely disabled by the fierceness
of the charge and lay helpless on the
sand. When it had partially revived
ST. George took the damsel's girdle
and making it fast around the crea-
lures neck babe her lead it captive
into the city. Even in its helpless
condition it was greatly feared. so
much so that George was counselled to
cut off its head with his sword. For
this brave decd he was canonized.

HARD roads will not only increase
the business OF the farmers and add
materially to their comfort. but will.
also. largely augment the value of
farm lands. Much land that is not
now available for agricultural pur.
poses would become so with better
roads. The system to be adopted
must vary necessarily. with the 10.
cality. In some counties it is shown
that gravel roads which have proved
duarble and satisfactory have been
constructed at a minimum cost OF
81, 900 per mile. Wherever gravel
can be obtained it should undoubtedly
be utilized as it makes the best road

is highly regarded though there are

WILLIAM ASTOR BURIED.
simple Funeral Services Held In Trinity
Chapel


New YORK, May 14.-Simplicity of
detail and absence of anything like
display marked the funeral services of
William Astor, which were held
here yesterday in Trinity chapel. Half
dozen seats only on either
side of the center aisle were
reserved for members of the family.
The other seats were for the friends of
the family and the public generally.
When the church was comfortably
filled the doors were closed. Many
prominent people were present, among
others Vice President Morton. The
burial service was read by DIR. Dix and
there was singing by the choir and
by Thomas Capley, the boy soprano,
who sang the anthem at the funeral of
John Jacob Astor.
At the conclusion of the services the
funeral procession proceeded to the
Trinity cemetery, One Hundred and
Fiftieth street and st. Nicholas ave-
nue., where the burial service of the
Protestant Episcopal church was read
and the remains inferred in the Astor

ton aud let them have 1t oTterms en-
incntly satisfactory. 1t is needless 10
say that the offer was gladly accepted
and a resolution was unanimously
passed 10 the effect that the library
association in a body call upon Mrs.
Matthewson and tender their thanks
for her kindness. In compliance with
this resolution OH last Friday evening

A NEW nuILpINo ASSOCIATION.


Messrs. John N. Wilson of Carthage
and b. ID. Fabyan, representing the
Missouri Guarantee Savings and
Building Association OF Hannibal,
NO., were in our city two or three
DAYS this week aud established a local
agency for said association at this
place with the following directors for
the first year: 0. u. Bartlett, j. j.
Osborn, j. L. Harmon, j. j. Fribley
and T., w. Daniels. The officers elect
ed Tor the first year are NJ. IL. Card
ner president, J. G. Haskell treasurer,
c. w. Daniels secretary ana local
agent. This association is one OF the
very best of its kind in the west. AS
its name implies, it is q loan ana
building association. Its plan isquite
similar to other associations OF us
character, but in many particulars II
is better and less expensive than 9TH
ers. Shares are $1,000 and they are
guaranteed 10 mature in l0O months
or less. The monthly payments are
S. per share. At the present rate OF
earnings the stock would mature IN
about y months, in which case per-
son holding one share would receive
at the end Of that time $1,000 in cash
at an expense of $3.50 paid in monthly
;nstallments. Parties desiring TO Sc
cure money 10 put up buildings can
do no better than invest in this ASSOC
cia,icn. If person has good lot or
two the company will put up house
thrrron,-,hc money loaned not TO eX-
coed 90 per cent of the value OF the
property completc,-and the expense
would be about the same or less than
rent. Stock Is issued in amounts from
$500 up, and loans are made to the
full extent of stock carried on first
class security only. The cost of $500
loan is $3.50 per month"; a 800 Ii, use
would cost only $3.50 per month, and
is entirely paid for in six TO eight
years.
As this association is composed large
" of investors, who do not desire to
borrow, it always has money ready ana
paws loans Immediately upon approval
Of security, title, etc. This is an i'm
portant feature and should secure for
the company large amount OF stock
in Baxter Springs. We have many
citizens who could and should take
stock in this association and put NJ
houses for themselves and families
thereby improving the town and rid
ding themselves of the continual ex-
pense of paying rent and getting moth
ing in return. The officers will DC
pleased to give all information desired
with regard to the association and 1T
advantages.
