leaked ont, and its nature and its his
torical Importance are such that IL de-
serves to be chronicled as the planting
Of new industry in the land.
During the year there were woven
by hand in this house the frs. tapes
tries that ever were made in this coun-
try. Old as the art is in Europe, run
ming back beyond the record Of time.
1t had never before been Introduced
into America. 1t is true that woven
cloth resembling tapestry has been
made by machine in this country be-
fore, but the FIRST piece of tapestry
ever made by hand in the same way
that 1t is made in the famous GSbclin
works was woven in this oid-fashioned
house on the Bronx.
The credit of the enterprise belongs
to n Mr.. William Baumgarten Of New
York City. For great many years lie
has been buying and selling tapestries,
and sending orders abroad for special
designs. Like true American he
came 10 the conclusion that the tapes
tries could be made in this coustrr
Just as well as in the republics and
monarchies of Europe. So he went to
France and got five expert woritfhen
from the Gobelin works TO come to
America and work at their trade here.
Under their direction three looms were
built exactly like those in the Gobelin
works. A large stock Of silk Of all
Imaginable shades made In this
country was purchased, artists We're
set TO work making designs, and every
thing was in readiness to begin the
work of tapestry making.
When you dnce know how to do H.,
tapestry making is one Of the simplest
things In the world. An oil painting
is made of the design that is TO be
carried out II is placed under the
cotton threads which run across the
loom, and then copied In silk threads.
II the design contains human figure
or any object that requires delicate
shading. All expert weaver can copy
two. or three square inches day. The
work is TO a great degree mechanical,
but II requires good eye for colors
even To the finest shades of difference,
The first piece Of figure work that
was made took four months. II was

which can be read at distance of six
or eight blocks.
The evangclistic work OF the mis-
sion has been most successful. In the
past year ut the nightly meetings over
1850 persons have professed Christ.
What makes the work all the more
pronounced is that those who have
been redeemed and saved are in many
cases prostitutes and drunkards, and
In almost every instance from the
lower walks Of life. The success OF
the mission can be seen when it is
authoritatively stated that the average
attendance at the weekly evening SER
vices have been nearly 300. Sunday
evening the attendance is much
larger.
A brass band composed % eleven
pieces is one of the means adopted by
Dean Peck to advertise the meetings
and attract the crowds. Each evening
the band discourses Gospel music in
front Of the building previous to the
time Of service. During the past
summer street meetings were
held in the vicinity and an earn.

to attend the later service at the mis-
sion. Another "a elspted to adver-

the times Of the great financial strin-
gcncy and Colorado's darkest days.
At that time hundreds and thousands
Of needy men, out Of employment,
throughout the state sought Denver,
the Mecca Of their hopes, where work
might be obtained. Matters were no
better in the capital-worse, If any
thing-than in the smaller cities and
towns. Soon the serious question Of
finding food and lodgings for the vast
army Of unemployed stared the suthor-
'.'-a in the face. The mon were will

tanned. At this juucture Camp ne-
lief was instituted on the river front,
aud meals, served to all who applied.
This could only be carried on, how;
ever, under very heavy expense, and
it was soon found impracticablo TO
continue the camp for any length Of
time. ;ssl
Then it was that Dean Peck evolved
the idea Of the Maverick restaurant
restaurant where meal could be
obtained ut the minimum price. With
the hearty assistance and cooperation
Of Mr.. G. s. Morey and Mr. ". g.
Fisher, the idea soon became fact.
The demand for such place, where
substantial, well-cooked food could be
secured, was universal on the part of
the poor. Tho menu, while not elab-
rate, is good. Three meals day are
served, and there is always variety to
give spice to the ediblcs. Those who
have the means can secure meal for
FIVE cents. This includes meat, pota-
| toes and Vegetables, coffee; ten or milk,
! and good, fresh, wholesome bread; all
you want Of it. NO pu.... Is served
The catering is superintcnded by Mr..
G. M. Sherman and wife, and ebey arc
assisted by corps Of eight cooks and
walters.
The restaurant is situated On Blake
street, midway between Sixteenth and
Seventeenth streets. Three long ia.
bles run almost the entire length Of
the building, giving seating capacity
of about $50. During the first three
months on an average 500 persons were
served per day. During November the
number was somewhat less, being
about 1875 day. How the restaurant
is able to serve the meal it does fol

mystery, but such is the case. The
