year OF the Methodist church at Delta
station was held Monday morning, Rev.
r. A. Carnine, presiding elder of Salida
district, being present and presiding.
The report of the board of stewards
shows the presiding elders salary paid
in full, while the salary Of the preacher

congregation have been out OF town sew
eral days at the close of the presen t
quarter.
The Sunday School report was of a
most fiattering nature, showing an aver
age attendance of pupils of III; also
money for Sunday school purposes paid

A REPRESENTATIVE of the Colorado
Farmer, who was here, states that the
orchard Of Wesley Ault, near Paonia, is
the best kept Of any he has seen in the
state with the exception Of Stark Bros.
non-irrigated orchard near Denver.
This is very hattering compliment and
shows that Delta county not only pos
sesses the natural resources necessary to
successful fruit growing but that she
has the men who know perfectly how to
use those natural advantages to secure
the best results.

Peach Day Excursion te Salt Lake


Peach Day Excursion t. Salt Lake
city!
The rush this year has been to Salt
Lake City. Thousands of tourists have
visited the city and all have been greatly
pleased with the attractions of Zion as a
summer resort. A last opportunity is to
be given the Colorado people for a
cheap excursion to Provo, Salt Lake City
and Ogden, just after close of Peach
| day festivities at Grand Junction. The
rate will be $500 from Grand Junction
for the round trip, and tickets will be on
sale for both trains of September 5th
and 2:10 a. m. train of Sept. 9Th.
Salt Lake City, the capital Of Utah, is
one OF the most famous cities Of the
world; it is totally unlike anything else
in the West, or, for that matter, on the
face Of the globe. The greatest interest,
perhaps, centers around the mormon in
stitutions. You will want to see the
odd shaped Tabernacle with seating
capacity Of 10000, and hear the grand
organ and celebrated choir Of 400 voices.
Near it is the great white Temple" now
completed after forty years of labor and
| expenditure Of four million Of dollars.
In the next block is the "Tithing House.
and the residence Of Brigham Young,
known as the bee Hive and the Lion
House." Between these are the general
| offices Of the Mormon church. Just
above the "Bee Hive" stands the Eagle
Gate" which was formerly the entrance
to Brigham Young's private estate, and
opposite is the Amelia Palace" or
"Gardo House."
Aside from the Mormon institutions
the most wonderful Of all the wonderful
things in this wonderland" is the Great
Salt Lake. This body OF water is 100
miles long, with an average width Of %
to 30 miles. Its water contains 18 per
cent Of solid matter, mostly salt and
soda. The human body will not and
cannot sink in this water. The veriest
novice in the art Of swimming can float
upon its surface without an effort.

first containing the cafe, billard:hall and

considered the finest and largest dancing

Of mile in circumference. The ceiling
is dome shaped and when the pavilion 10
lighted in the evening with over 1900
electric lights, the whole effect is simply
beyond the power Of words to portray.
In justice, mention should be made Of
the celebrated hot and warm mineral
springs in and adjacent to Salt Lake
City, some of which, in curative proper
ties, rival the great Hot Springs OF Ar
kansas, and are panacea for many Of
the ills that flesh is heir to-"

both growing rapidly and present many
interesting features to the tourist and

A FAMILY FIGHT.
The Details Related Before Alderman
Fitzsimmons

FitZsiInnons.
Before Alderman Fitzsimmons yester-
day Mrs. McClough and her daughter,
of the West Side, appeared and repre-
sented that James Hunter, Mrs. Nc
Clough's son-n-law, had threatened to
do dire damage in the McClough house
hold. A warrant was issued for his ar
rest and a hearing took place at 8
o'clock The alderman discharged him
after hearing both sides of the story.
1t seems that Mrs. Hunter had heard
that her folks were not by their con-
versation contributing in a large de-
gree to furnishing good reputation for
her among the neighbors, and she went
to demand an explanation for their at
tack upon her character. Her sister
met her at the door and saluted her
with a volley of flower pots. One of
the missiles took effect and left large
cash in Mrs. Hunters brow. She re-
turned bruised and bleeding home, and
when her husband learned of what hap
pened he pulled off his coat and went
over to avenge the insult and injury to
his wife. He admitted before the alder
man that If he laid his hands on his
muscular sister-in-law that he would
have been severe.
The alderman said he would not
blame him and told him to go home and
avoid his wifes folks in future

AFTER THE CONVENTION.
Interesting Reports Presented at the Y.

pitfshurp

Interesting Reports Presented at the y.
pittsburg.
Mrs. L. Fl. Ripple presided over a
meeting at the Young Women's Chris
tian association rooms last evening,
when Miss Tompkinson. secretary of
the South Side association, and Miss
Deacon, treasurer of the central asso-
citation. presented their reports as dele
gates to the state convention, held at
Pttsburg last week.
Miss Tompkinson gave a detailed re-
port of the daily work of the cOnven-
tion, accompanied by interesting COM
ments. Miss Deacon presented report
upon various features of the business
transacted and, among other things,
said: Miss Dunn, our own state sec
retary, read, or rather gave rise to
talk on summer schools, and / want
to tell you that Miss Dunn did not lose
anything in comparison with the many
bright women who took part during the
convention. Miss Dunn is very enthu-
siastic over these schools, and is of
opinion that every association ought to
send at least one girl.
The report of Mrs. Farwell, of the
international committee, was read by
the treasurer of the committee, Mrs.
Messer, of Chicago. 1t showed that
since the biennial report Worlds
Young Women's Christian association
had been organized, with quarters in
London; that the total number of asso-
Citations connected with the Interna-
tional association is 1886, of which sixty
one are city and 274 college associa
tions; that the total membership in city
associations is, active, 1879, and asso-
ciate, 3,425; college associations, active,
9,5S7, and associate, 1,52S.
Miss Deacon referred to the address
Of Miss r. r. Price on "Christianity,
the Power of a Perfect Womanhood,"
which she described as the best ad-
dress given during the entire conven-
tion. How Can State and Provincial
Work Be Made Most Effective?' was
the subject of a paper read by Mrs. II.
NJ. Hobart, of Chicago, in which she
urged that considerable attention
should be paid to the annual reports
and their publication in proper form.

MANUAL Training SCHOOL
Much Work Will Have to BE Done Be-
fore 1t Is Assured.
THE CONDITIONS OF THE GIFT
Money to BE Used Entirely for the Pur.
pose of Supporting Manual Trnin'
ing Department and Cannot DC Ex.
pended for Fitting Up Buildings.

No arrangements have yet been made
by the directors of the Young Mems
Christian association as ITO the disposal
Of the sum of $4,000 promised, and
partially paid by Mrs. Francis A. Hack
ley, of New York city, for the purpose
of manual training under the auspicies
OF the association.
A condition Is attached to the gift
that no part Of the sum, or any portion
Of the interest accruing therefrom.
shall be utilized for the purpose of
making alterations in the building, sup
plying any furniture or equipments.
In brief, the money must be invested
and the interest devoted to the sole
purpose Of current expenses. the major
portion Of which will be the salaries of
Instructors
AS soon as the money Is received 1t
will be invested in the best and safest
manner possible, and it Is anticipated
that the sum of S1,50O per annum will
be realized as interest; but this will not
be sufficient to discharge the annual
expenditure. which 1t Is expected will
be quite $4,000. when the entire system
Of manual training is organized.
Equipment Expenses to Bc Raised.
In order to prepare for the work con-
siderable expense will be entailed, the
whole of which will have to be paid by
voluntary subscriptions. The spacious
room on the top floor must be adapted
for the purpose, and the necessary
equipments be provided for the pupils,
before any benefits can be derived from
the generous donation of Mrs. Hackley.
The board of directors will, however.
proceed with the matter in earnest i'm
mediately. with the view of inaugu-
rating the classes In September or Octo-
Der. It is anticipated that the first
course to be adopted will be to prepare
for classes in bench work In wood, and
lathe work in wood. A large plant will
be necessary for this work alone, and
as it is well known that this special
instruction will be sought by a large
number of young people, the prepara-
tions will involve considerable work.
and some time will be necessary for the
organization of this department. 1t is
expected that sign and fresco painting
will be taught, speciality which many
young men will be pleased to have an
opportunity to learn, which Is not at
present afforded them in the city.
Electrical construction and lessons
in plumbing and tinsmithing will fol-
low as soon as arrangements can be

MIR. STURGES In INDIA.
Before Another Large Audience lie Tells
Of an Interesting Part of His Journey
Around the World-Land OF Temples
MysteriOus PcOplc.


e. B. Sturges last night in the Green
Ridge Presbyterian church delivered
the third and last but one of his series
of stereopticon lectures, covering the
Asiatic portion OF his trip around the
world. Last nights subject was In
dia, or. as Mr.. Sturges termed it, 1.-THE
Monkey Land" because the country
teens with these animals, which, in
India, are held sacred as are many
other living things.
That Mr.. Sturges Is an interesting
and popular speaker was shown by the
large audience which completely filled
the lecture room of the church. Many
of his hearers were from the central
city. In his previous lectures he had
told and shown views of Japan, China
and Ceylon and the lectures became
more interesting as the journey pro-
gressed.
India with its mysterious people and
magnificent temples. its squalor and
splendor, its enervating lowlands and
delightful highlands of which Kipling
has revealed so much-these and q
hundred other instructive things did
Mr.. Sturges tell about
He began with Madras on the lower
Eastern coast, from whence the trip
to Calcutta, northeastward, was made
by steamer owing to the prevalence of
cholera along the eastern coast re-
gion. From Calcutta the scene changed
many hundreds of miles to the Hima-
layas almost north, then back to the
Ganges river and up 1t to the northern
interior and over the Bombay on the
western coast. 1t was a journey of
3,4O0 miles in a country containing
S00,0O0,000 inhabitants, five or six times
as many as are in the United States.
OF the many views displayed, all, ex-
cepting two or three purchased in New
York, were reproduced from kodaks
taken by Mr.. Sturges. The collection
is very valuable.
An especially instructive feature of
the lecture were the detailed views and
descriptions of magnificent white and
black marble and sandstone temples
and tombs Hindoo and Mohammadan,
which are as numerous in India as tow
ering Office buildings in the United
States. The difference in point of
architectural beauty is, however. as
great as lies between the meaning of
sublime and ridiculous These magnif-
cent structures of the East individually
represent scores of years of labor and
the most extreme result of artistic
splendor. Many Of them are contained
in cities which are absolutely deserted
except by official keepers, and now are
only beautiful tombstones of bygone
munificence.
Next Tuesday night will be delivered
the final lecture, Egypt and Pales-
tine" during which will be displayed
the best views in Mr.. Sturges' collec-
tion.
