Souvenir Spoons.

souvenir spoons.
Some people are born with silver
spoons in their mouths" IF it is only
plain, everyday sort of silver spoon,
it doesn't count in these fin de steele
days. 1t must be a souvenir spoon,
and no common one at that, or one
had better not have been born. This
is indeed time, if not an age, of lux
ury, and even the poorest people are
not contented with the plain usages
and appointments of the past half
century. 1t is an age of constant
changes, where nothing lasts, and in
which anything that is before the
public more than a year is considered
a matter of ancient history.
The wonder is that with such an
existing state of things a fad like
that of collecting souvenir spoons
should have lasted more than one
season, and yet the interesting fact
remains that the fancy or fad or
whatever you choose to call it of
souvenir spoons is just as eagerly fol-
lowed now as it was five years ago,
when first introduced. Once a

HOME rule for Ireland, thanks to
Premier Gladstone, at last seems to
be one of the probabilities of Eng
lish mis-government. But with the
promise OF an Irish parliament comes
a howl from that turbulent North-of-
Ireland element known as Orange
men who declare that with the dawn
ing Of home rule they will inaugurate
bloody rebellion and resist the
new branch Of government to the
last. These Orangemen are filled
with more prejudice and are pos
sessed with greater amount o!
bigotry than any class of people on
Gods earth, and hold about the same
relation to Ireland that the detested
Tories did to this country in the War
of Independence. This hybrid ele.
ment is mixture of English, Scotch
aud little Irish-very little-and
always made an insane boast of their
loyalty to England

STEEL WORKS SPARKS.
A Big Fire.

There was an usually large quantity
Of sparks at the steel works Wednesday
afternoon. A fire broke cut in the
wood yard in the eastern portion Of the
premises and before it could be gotten
under control had caused damage of
about $500. more than fifty car loads OF
cord wood being badly singsd, some
totally burned.
With the first alarm Of the steel works
whistle Hose Co. No. l responded and
the fire spreading rapidly No. 2was
called. However the pressure was 30
wretched that the water could not be
squirted over wood pile and connection
had to be made with the pump in the
converter. All this took time, and the
fire backing rapidly toward the ice
house and the oil shed things looked
alarming and Chief Sanborn of the
Pueblo fire department was telephonsd
for assistance. He promptly responded
by sending the steamer and the Carlile
Hose Co. whice came up flying and in a
remarkably short time got to work and
the flames were soon under control,
though not until enough water had
been poured an to float some Of the
wood away.
The Pueblo fire department is I'M
msnse, and flames, smoke and water
have no terrors for the fire boys whose
coolness and activity won the admiration
OF the thousand people from Beesemer
and Pueblo who were onlookrs. Tho
INDICATOR speaks the mind of the steel
works and the city Of Bessemer when it
says to the Pueblo fire department,
thanks, gentlemen, your work was nobly
done and you will be kindly remsm-
bered.
The Bessemer hose companies were
everywhere and did excellent service
when the converter pump begun to get
in it's work. Besides, the boys pitched
in and relieved the Pueblo nszzlemen,
scrambling over the huge piles Of wood
and subduing the FIRE as they proceeded.
The boys were justly exaspsrated over
the wretchsd service from the hydrants
they not being able in the beginning to
get water enough to drown rat in a
tub.
1t was big fire, the wood burning
like shavings hnd the flames shooting
fifty feet high. The great danger of q
big confagration has determined the
steel works company to provide for a
good fire department at the works which
is wise resolve

WIcK's bill recently introduced in
to the lower house and relating to
the annexation of contiguous towns
or cities, is just measure inasmuch
as it forestalls any board of trustees
or city council from taking action in
the premises unless asked to do SO by
petition signed by not fewer than 200
tax-paying electors. In our own
muddle it Is safe to say that not q
dozen men in the city even knew
that the council was to take action
on the question, but that body fol-
lowing out its own desire had a
board Of commissioners appointed
without consulting the wish of the
people much less waiting to be asked
to take steps in the direction Of con-
solidation. The ene-man power in
politics is fading fast away in the
independent Centennial state.

A Winter in the South.

A winter in the South - the very
words conJure up delicious memories
for those who have been there, The
bright sunny skies, the dry, bracing air
and the warm sunshine is in decided
contrast to the cold, bleak north.
TIE great state Of Texas is celebra-
ted as one great broad winter resort in
itself, but the following places are, per
haps, particularly popular. Fort Worth,
with its mineral baths. healthful climate
and good hotels; Austin, the beautiful
capital city; San Antonio, one of the
few really historical places IN our coun-
try; Houston. with its blooming roses.
oleanders and groves of oranges and
lemons, and Galveston with its delici-
GUS sea breezes. These are but few
Of the delightful resorts of this highly
favored region.

comforts of our rigorous weather, trau-

Of Course.

AS was expected the Pueblo city
council checked all progress in the
matter of consolidation Monday
evening. The session was short and
sharp and the report of the commits
sioners was shelved, there to become
dust covered and moth eaten. The
three commissioners from Bessemer
with Geo. West from South Pueblo
had prepared a~report which was
submitted to the council hut object
cd to by Alderman Barndollar on
the ground that Pueblo wanted
report from the Pueblo commission
ers and not from Besssmer men.
This was the fine point, Commits
sioners Downer and Kilbourn not
showing up at all. Mayor Ham
ilton upheld Barndollar's motion
and ruled the report out Of order.
And yet there are still seven or
eight men In Besssmer who think
that North Pueblo covets union!
Let the stone wall tumble.

1T is believed by many that a
from north Pueblo is now
in Denver working against the Drake
bill. In this they are allies of Bes-
semer but the spirit in which the aid
is being given is not a friendly one.
North Pueblo does not want con-
and would keep Bessemer
out even though the latter begged
for admission. The INDICATOR has
always held TO this assertion and its
truth is being demonstrated more
and more as circumstances arise
which compel the manipulators OF
politics north of the river to show
their hand.

THERE are many new and influen-

with Pueblo at this
time. They are convinced that Bes-
semer would be swallowed up in the
greed of the stronger neighboring
city, and believing that the possibili.
ties of Bessemer becoming great

have taken loyal stand and will ad
