of the churches of Denver the elders
and trustees actually voted down
motion to indorse the action of the
police board Even the most promi-
nent and influential members of the
Peoples party assembled themselves
together, called the governor before
them, and implored him to withdraw
his demand that his last appointees
should take possession of the city hall,
which was their legal right, and con-
sent that the matter should be left for
the decision of the various courts, which
practically meant that Orr and Martin
should continue in office and the gam
bling houses remain open. All this
pressure was resisted by the governor,
who contended that Orr and Martin
had no legal authority after they were
removed, and that the control of the
police belonged to Mullins, Barns and
Rogers. The Supreme court of the
state, in it's final decision, declared the
possession of Orr and Martin illegal,
and ordered them to vacate in favor of
Mullins and Barnes, who were de-
clared entitled to legal possession, and
thus the Supreme court sustained the
right of the governor to enforce the
law.
But the governor, the fire and
police board and the chief of police
stood alone. The saints, the pious
women and the prohibitionists, who
had for years been praying for the
suppression of gambling houses and
tippling houses, had no words of en-
couragement for those who had estab-
lished reform. In the hard fight the
governor had been compelled to make
in the courts, and by resort to his
constitutional rights as commander-in-
chief of the state militia, the entire re-
ligious sentiment of the city acting in
harmony with the gamblers and lewd
women, had denounced the state ex-
ecutive as an anarchist, usurper and
tyrant.
':That the republicans in Denver
were III league with the gamblers and
lewd women is indisputable. Aside
from the statement of the gamblers
themselves, who tell the amounts they
contributed, and the number Of votes
they colonized, is the fact that large
pecuniary offers were made to the
Peoples party to let up on the gam
blers, and the further fact that the
gamblers have always demanded and
received consideration for their
votes. When the republican press and
.,reachers preached continually that the
Populist state administration had in.

The Patriarchs' ball, which was held
last night at Delmonico's was as large,
or larger and as gay, if not gayer, than
any # its predecessors. Immense
golden hanging baskets were novel
and effective feature of the floral
decorations by Small. They were
Egyptian in shape and headed with
masses of gorgeous roses, swung by
broad satin ribbons across the center
of the huge mirrors which line the
beautiful big ball room, and between
the windows.
The smaller red ball room, on Fifth
avenue and Twenty sixth street, was
adorned with profusion of white roses,
lilies, orchids and palms, and the blue
room, where the Hungarian band
played for the dancing in the auxiliary
ball room, was gorgeous with masses
of American Beauty roses.
After the supper Mr.. Franklin Bart
lett led spirited co.ilion. Mrs. John
Seward Jr., who fairly glittered with
diamonds, was his partner. She wore
a rich ribbed silk gown of mauve color,
trimmed on skirt and corsage with
yellow flowers.
Among the gowns worn that of Mrs.
George Gould, of white satin, embroid
cred in sun rays in gold and pearls,
was greatly admired, and was very be-
coming to her brunei type. The
necklace and ribbon in her coiffure
were as superb in diamond ornaments
as any in the all room.

MAHAR STARVED TO DEATH
The Man Went without Food for Eight
Days and Dropped Dead Beside
the Brooklyn Tower of
the Great Bridge.

James Mahar died of starvation yes
ternay noon at the Brooklyn city hos
pital. A native American, he had
walked the streets of New York, with
out food for eight days, looking for
work, and late Saturday afternoon fell
exhausted and unconscious at the
Brooklyn tower of the great bridge.
At the hospital all that science and
unremitting attention could do was
done. A special nurse gave her un-
divided attention to him, and nutri-
ment was administered at frequent in
tervals, but the patient relapsed into
insensibility.
Said DR.. Molin, the house surgeon,
as Mahar drew his last breaths:
''It is clear case of. starvation
nothing else. There are indications of
Bright's disease, due directly to expos
ure and lack of nourishment, but other
wise he has no ailmcnt save exhaustion.
In most cases it is impossible to save
patient when he is as far gone as this
one, although we pull them through
sometimes. After being entirely with
out food for eight days, the organs are
unable to assimilate even milk and
whisky, which we generally USE"
Mahar was 35 years old and was sin
gle. He was 6 feet tall and dark hair
and blue eyes. He had no relatives in
the city. He stopped with a family
named Maloy, on State street, Brook
lyn, for some time, but for week or
two had been wandering

against gambling and lewdness should
be executed at all cities alike, but it
so happens that peculiar relations ex-
ist between the governor of the state
and the city Of Denver, which do not
exist in any other locality. The gov.
ernor, by the law, has the power both
to appoint and remove the board OF
police Of Denver, and upon him, there
fore rests the responsibility of the
proper execution of the law b; the
police. It is the misfortune Of the gam
blers of Denver whose open halls OF
business have been closed, and OF
the lewd women, whose profits have
been curtailed by the shutting up Of
saloons at midnight and on Sundays,
that their business is in violation of
the law. Their only legal remedy is
the repeal of the violated laws. Until
such repeal, the present governor, the
fire aud police board and the chief of
police of the city of Denver during the
full term of their offices, will compel
COL WIFI Ollc law.
''The religious sentiment of Denver
may be correct in opposing gambling
and lewdness in the city, but they have
been exceedingly tardy in their mani
festations. In the summer of 1892 the
war of the governor of the state upon
the gamblers commenced. In all pre-
ceding state administrations gambling
had been practically licensed and pro-
tected by the police. No vigorous war
has ever been waged against gambling
by any governor of the state or fire
and police boad The present governor
found Messrs. Orr and Martin guilty of
malfeasance in Office in protecting in
stead of prohibiting the gambling
houses of the city and removed them
according to law. The officers so re-
moved refused to vacate their offices,
in the interest of the gamblers arose
in insurrection and by aid of the
sheriff's Office took illegal and armed
possession Of the city hall. A district
court, in the interest of the gamblers,
enjoined the governor from the exer-.
else of his constitutional rights. The
issue was sharply defined between the
gamblers and the governor, who called
out the militia of the state to suppress
insurrection. Now where was the
clergy of Denver, the Y. M. G.
A., the w. c. T. U. and the
prohibitionists in this fight? They
were dead against the governor. The
exceptions are so small and insignifi-
cant as to be unworthy of notice The
wealth and aristocracy of the city was
a unit against the governor. In many

THE MORAL. SUPPORT OF PRACTICAL CYCLISTS
PROMISED AT A CONFERENCE AT TIE AsToR
HOUSE - PLANS FOR THE TRACK.
,rhcro was = notable gathering OF wheelmen
the Aston House yesterday and the news Of the
outcome Of that conference viii De good news to
every wheeman in this neighborhood. The lack
of a suitable track in this neighborhood where
cycling races could be held. has been deplored ~
length, and when Austin Corbn through his
friends announced some time ago that he might
lay out nrst-class track in the rear Of Man
haitian Beach. az Coney Island. the suggestion
hailed with delight. The fact that certain
capitalists are looking about with the idea OF
building Il few tracks and entering into profess
,csional cycling large scale. may have had
something 10 do with hurrying the projectors in
completing arrangements FOR the track at Manhat-
tan Beach.
The ideal track, from wheeman's standpoint
IS the regulation third OF a mile The quarter
mile track is too short and wheemen do not seem
to favor anything over half mile. The wheel
men argue that the long stretches tire rider.
and that the wind would be against them FOR too
long a stretch. They also contend that the specta-
. tors like 10 be as close possible to the riders
and that this would be impossible in anything over
three-lap track.
The promoters Of the proposed track at Manhat-
tan Beach seem TO be in earnest and to find out
just how the practical cycling men of this neigh
borhoOd felt about the matter was the object or
