To say that the street illuminntions are the
grandest ever seen on the streets Of any city
In the world is to state tho case mildly. Tho
number Of lights used exceeds 5000, and
more than half OF these are electric. The
downtown section Is blaze Of light, arches
competing for popularity with electric effects
OF the most dazzling character. These latter
arc for the most part pan dramas with constant
changes, and vehicle traffic 10 we'll nigh sus-
pended owing to the crowds which throng
the streets rs we'll as cover the sidewalks.
The western hemisphere panorama, illus
trated herewith, facing Washington Univer.
sity, has upwards Of 200 electric lights and
tells tho story OF the discovery of America In
letters OF fire. Another magnificent apecta-
Gle Is the electric floral arch In natural colors
and another Is Z combination Of the flags Of
the United States and Spain with an eagle far
above the center. There are ten other cleo
trio displays all equally attractive.
The illuminations will be repeated Oct 8,
5, ID and 10, and every one who appreciates
combination Of beauty and magnifcence
ought to see them. The railroad rates arc
exceptionally low and the attractions as ex-
ceptionally gorgeous and Irresistible.

AN APPEAL TO COLORADO WO-
MEN.
They are Asked to Organize on the suE-
frage Ouest tion.

They are Asked to Organize on the sur-
frags Question.
Women of Colorado, do you know the op-
portunity that is before you this fnlli DO
you know that on November the voters of
the state will decide whether or not you are
to have the ballot hereafteri Do you know
that there is n possibility that you may rise to
legal equality with mani Are you working
for that great end! Are you alive to Its i'm
portance! Are you willing to be classed po-
litically with idiots, criminals and insane,
when your own enfrancnisement Is offered
you! Have you no interest In good govern
ment In your town, your county, your stRtel
Have you no interest In the pluking Of good
laws and the election OF good men to execute
themf Does not your heart swell with pa
trlotism as you see the best interests Of Colo
RADIO struck down and our fair state lying
prostrate under the blow! Do you not wish
your voice to count hereafter in the tre-
mendously important choice Of the men who
are to guard the interests Of Colorado In Con-
gresss Are you not interested In politics
when In spite Of the strictcst economy want
creeps into the household, when the mother
is forced to pinch and save and deny her
children; when the self-supporting woman
sees her wages reduced, and when on every
side arises q long, low undertone OF sorrow,
the cry OF the suffering poor!
No matter how hardly economic conditions
press upon men, except In the case OF few
favored ones, they press harder upon women.
It is the duty of every true daughter Of Col
orado to come to the rescue; TO bend every
power Of the mind and heart to the solving of
the social problems that surround US. Char
ity can never do 1t. Philanthropy can never
do It, Only right laws rightly executed can
reform social conditions The ballot 10 the
greatest power and protection of this day and
age. All that renders 1t valuable to men Will
mako 1t valuable to women. II the clrcum-
stances Of your life such that you have
never seen the need of It, It is your duty to
aid your less fortunate sisters to attain It.
Think Of 10000 selfsupportIug women In
Colorado. Awake from your indifference.
Send for literature. Solicit the vote Of every
man Of your acquaintance. Nine out OF ten
will vote for It II we but ask them. And be
assured that In helping to carry Colorado for
suffrage this fall you are helping TO make
history. New Mexico and Arizona are trem-
bling In tho balance. Suffrage sentiment
there Is strong. Should Colorado grant It,
they will come into the Union with equal
suffrage in their constitution. Should Colo
RADIO grant It the victory In Kansas Is assured
In 1894. With i've great western states In
line, one generation will sec the women Of
America enfranchised. Great Issues arc At
stake. Drop all other things from now until
November to work for suffrage. Nothing
else is so important. Every vote counts and
every vote that you make Will just SO much
hasten the day Of full liberty for women.

working levels of the mine ran directly under
the stream, and parallel with 1t for distance
Of several hundred feet. The first level was
thirty-fys feet below the bottom Of the river,
and the lower levels, five In number, ran par
Allel to the first. The bottom is 42s feet be-
low the surface Of the water. The five upper
levels have been stopped out in the progress OF
the work, leaving only tImbers and pillars OF

The accident is supposed to have been
caused by the giving way of the timbers OF
the fifth level, allowing those above to follow,
and at last the river to pour In upon the fated
men.
After the cave In the river bed below, the
mine wa dry for an hour and forty minutcs.
Forty-eight men descended the shaft last
night. OF this number twenty escaped an
awful death and twenty-eight found watery

Tho Throne Of Rua,,a.

It is rumored at Berlin that the Car Of
Russia will alter the succession to the throne,
making the Grand Duke Michael, his young
est son, his successor.
1t 10 supposed that the reason for this step
is that he czarowitnh Is of 60 sulky nature
and Is totally without force Of character. Be-
sides this, he has extremely radical opinions,
IL opposed to the persecution Of the Jews and
in many other ways is not In accord with his
father. The Grand Duke George, the czar's
second son, cares little for political life. He
is q Jolly sailor and o careless liver. The
czar's affections are centred In the precocious
Michael.
