AN HISTORIC BUILDING
Once the Home of the Notorious Feather
Buster Legislature
The Removal of the Old Iron Hall Or
AIetxerOtt BuiIdins-Thc New
Structure.

The improvements that are to be made
on the site of the large building on the
north side of the avenue between 9th and
10th streets, recently occupied by the
business establishments of E. F. Droop &
Sons and ]. W. Boteler & Sons, will result
in the removal of a structure that has quite
a history. The building now being torn
down was erected in 1910 by Mr.. Shanks,
who was the father of the present owner,
Mrs. Hitz. and who was one of the we'll
known business men and large property
owners in this city. 1t was the first hall
of any particular notoriety after the old
Carusi's saloon had been turned into a
theater, and in that hall many notable
actors and singers have appeared.
1t was known as Shanks Iron Hall at
first. and subsequently, 1t was simply called
The Iron Hall. In the early fifties it was
opened by a man named Risley, who ran
what was called Risley's Varieties for one
or two seasons. Then it became refuge
for travelling companies, and Edwin For
rest, Jane Coombes, Julia Dean and other
noted people in the theatrical world played
there with their companies. 1t was also
used by the amateur organizations Of this
city, and it was there that Stuart Robson
made his first histrionic appearance. By a
SlHSuidT AlSCouceptIou ol HIS powers, MT.
Robson, or Henry Stuart, as his real name
is, had an idea that he was a tragedian,
and one of his attempts in this hall was to
play Armand in Camille. He got frghten-
ed before the performance was over and
broke down lamentably, but was persuaded
by the company to make a second trial
on the following night, with, however. no
better results.
During the war the hall was used occa-
sionally for concerts, and it was also a
place where, during the days of suffrage
ward meetings We're held, and many local
orators have aired their eloquence within
its walls. In 1865 the firm of W. G. Metze-
rott & Co., with which Mr.. Droop was then
connected, occupied the building, and some
alterations in the hall in the second story

SEES FORM FRIENDSHIPS.
Experiences OF Young Man to whom
They Took n Liking.

II always loved bees, /" said the young
man in goluioowed glasses behind the
dairy counter as he handed down
honeycomb for the inspection OK an idle
customer, according to the New York
Sun, sWhcnl was on the farm, !" he
continued, ~ could go all about the
hives and not get stung, and none OF
the others dared go near the bees. We
used TO have an old farmer come around
and tend to the swarms, but one day
whenl was boy working in the fields
heard great hamming noise up In
the air and saw a swarm a-coming.
Well, | picked up tin pan that was
there and hammered on IL till the bees
settled on the end of fence rail Then
thought could tend to the swarm as
well as the old farmer, so got al old
hive, washed it out with honey and wa
ter, rubbed my hands and arms with
burdoclz juice and honey water, and
went at the bees. got them off that
rail by the handful and they never
stung me.
After that I regularly tended to the
bees. Whenever there was swarm
rolled up my sleeves, took OIL my shoes
and hat, and went at them. ! have
taken them from all sorts Of places, but
/ was never stung only once. They'd
light on my head by the dozen and
crawl through my hair. That used TO
send cold chills down by back. Some
times my arms were so covered with
bees that from wrist TO elbow you
couldn't sec the flesh. The one time
when l was stung had found n swarm
on a high limb and was saving it of, and
at the same time holding on to it that it
should not fall to the ground with the
bees. In doing this squcczcd one OF
the bees, and it few straight at my
temple and stung me just above the
eye. Since left the farm the folks have
given up the bee business. There's nc
doubt about it, bees like some folks and
hate others, and don't know any rca
son for the difference"

a Happy rcopIs and high Standard 81
Public Morals.


The Greeley colony was composed of
the best elements OF eastern citizen
ship; and the first and most important
lesson II teaches Is that people OF this
class arc responsive to such call as
Mr.. Mecllcr put forth. He did not APP
peal TO the instinct Of speculation. He
pleaded for new institutions, and aimed
at high ideals; and he found that men
of culture and Of means were ready to
cooperate heartily In such IN under
taking. This fact lends encourage
ment to those who are hoping for great
things to come from the development of
the arid region.
The site of the Greeley colony, writes
W. G. Smythe in Century, was not
we'll chosen-or, at least, it did not in
all respects meet the expectations of
those who selected it. They were there
| fore unable 30 realize all their plans.
| They Dmade some serious miscalcula-
tions. For instance, they estimated
| the cost of their canals at twenty thou
| sand dollars, while the actual cost was
moro than twenty times as great
| Fruit-culturc was mentioned in the
prospectus as certain to be an impor-
tant industry, but the soil and climate
! proved unsuitable. The dream of an
| improved household economy, based on
plan for cooperative bakeries and
laundrics, also proved delusivC. There
were other disappointments; but the
fundamental claims Of irrigation were
all indicated ut Greeley, us they have
! been whenever and wherever brought
fairly to the test.
A fcw years of intelligent labor
brought n high degree of average pros
perity, based upon substantial founda.
tions. Even the severe panic of the
summer of 1905 did not materially dis
turb these foundations. During those
trying weeks, when mines and smelters
shut down, and banks and stores closed
their doors, water, soil and sunshine
continued to do their perfect work in
the Union colony. Greeley seemed
like al oasis of prosperity in desert OF
despair. The farmers received as the
reward of the summers labor moro
than u million dollars in cash for the
single item of potatoes. But this is the
chief crop at Greeley, after the neccs
sites of life have been provided for
and the wide reputation and handsome
financial returns won for the Greeley
potato illustrate the wisdom of a sur
plus crop Of the highest quality.
GreClcy's civic institutions arc Xix,

,, standard available, and are the pride o.

NAPOLEON's HORSES.
The LittlO Corporal Was Very Fond of tha
Noble Animals.

In the present revival Of interest in
Napoleon, little attention has been paid
to his love for horses. A study Of this
side Of his nature would reveal some in
tcrcsting facts. In Egypt NAPOLEON or
dcrcd the capture Of every horse ridden
by the MamclulIes where capture was
possible. Nearly every horse taken was
shipped to France, as many of them
were of the Arab type. Ono OF the
ships on which some of the captured
horses were shipped was wrecked in at
tempting to escape from a English frig-
ate. Another ship on which JunOt
sailed was captur, 1, and JunOt was
made prisoner. When Napoleon heard
the news, he expressed more regret for
the loss OF the horses than he did for
that Of his favOrlte secretary, after
ward marshal Of France
The horses that arrived safely on
French soil have left their mark on the
horses of France and this country.
Their descendants can be seen every
dav on the streets Of New York. They
have driven the Clydcsdalcs and Eng
lish shire horses out Of the AmCri'
can markets, and the smoothly turned
trappy, rapid walking, active Normans

capture of the horses of the Mamclukes
