A WOMAN PRESIDENT.
Mrs. Una Irvine Formerly of Topeka,
the Head of Mining Company.

Denver. July 1.-The new company
of Denver and eastern capitalists
which has taken hold of the Morning
Star lode will meet and effect an organ
ization.
Among the heavy stockholders of this
company is a. lady who possesses more
than the usual amount of business Sa-
gacity credited to her sex. The holder
of every share of stock outside of that
held by that lady herself has agreed
that she must be president of the new
~ organized company, and they have
called upon her to accept that respOn-
sible position. This lady is Mrs. Una
Hebron irvine of Boulder.
Mrs. Irvine is not inclined to be talk
alive about the matter She admitted
that it was the desire of the sharehold-
ers of the new Morning Star company
to have her become president and that
she has practically made up her mind
to consent.
why, I remember when I was SUI
perintendent Of schools in Topeka,
Kan, years ago, and how the men re-
garded it as braZen on my part to have
the audacity to attempt to participate
in the public affairs of our own cOun-
ty. That was before I was married,
and Mr.. Irvine, who was q practicing
attorney in Topeka, came to me and
proposed that I allow him to be super
intendent of my home. He wanted to
get married right off for the reason

POLITICS DOES IT.
So Say Some in Regard to the Mills
Closing.


Lowell, July 1.-The proposition of
the Arkwright club to shut down the
cotton mills half the time in July and
August does not apparently find a
unanimity of sentiment among the mill
managers in this city, although for sew
eral reasons they do not care to be very
OutSpOken about it.
All the Lowell mills, except possibly
the Hamilton, are doing nicely. The
Massachusetts has orders ahead, the
Boot would not shut down, it is al
legged, if it considered only its own in
terests, the fremont and Suffolk have
just paid a semi-annuaI per cent divi-
dend and are busy enough to suit any
ting surgical help for his little daughter
and manufacturing ideas.
Some say the reason why some COM
panies want to shut down is the effect
of foreign competition. others the high
price of cotton, and others the currency
situation, and under the head of the
latter it is alleged that money is scarce.
There is a conspicuous lack of agree
ment.
On the other hand some outsiders say
the ArkWright club is getting ready for
election 1t is not generally believed
here that unanimous consent among all
the New England mills can be obtained
for a shutdown. and unless the action
is to be unanimous the Lowell mills are
not likely, it is believed. to go into the
deal. 1t is understood here that the
proposition comes mainly from Fall

CASTELLANE GOSSIP.
Society in Gotham Busy Discussing
Anna Gould.


New York. July Gossip is busy now
with Anna Gould and her husband, the
Count De Castellanc, who, it is SAID,
have seen better days than they are
now enjoying over in France, and who,
it is said further, commissioned Henry
Cachard, the Paris representative Of
Coudert Brothers of New York, to come
on here and try to persuade Brother
George Gould to let them have g little
more money.
IF it wasn't for the Boy Howard and
Anna" said the checked trousers to
the sack coat up at the Calumet, there
would be absolutely nothing to talk
about these hot days.
You know the latest is that Castel-
lane was recently blaclxlisted at the
Jockey club in Paris. His brother, who
is a decent sort, got in all right, and
the Gould money paid his initiation
fee, but when CaStellane came up a
secret vote was taken, and he was not
elected. You know that is the exclus-
i've club of Paris, and before a man is
elected his past is thoroughly inVeSti-
gated, and if one blur is found he is
blackballed, or rather his name is with
drawn.
"Castellane's friends gave it out that
the reason he was blackballed was be-
cause he had made a mesalliance. That
made the GOuldS red-hOt, and the
American colony in Paris didn't like it,
either, and so pretty soon the report
was circulated that the real reason
why he had been declined with thanks
could be found in some of the stories
that were told about him before his
marriage, and, in fact, since it.
4 do not think Anna is altogether
happy. These foreign nOblemen do not
make the best of husbands. Anna was
not at all well received in Paris, you
know, but the Goulds thought it would
be all right when she got that chateau
in which it was said Marie AntOinette
used to live.
THAT, however, was another of Cas-
tellane's tricks. The chateau belonged
to Castellanes mother, and she gave it
to him when he married. 1t consisted
of a lot of old walls and a moat full Of
mud
This new hotel that Anna is going
to build in Paris was also one of Cas-
tellane's IDEAS" said the other paraSOl.
1T will cost a lot of money, and that is
one of the reasons they are urging
Brother George to loosen the purse
strings. They say Castellane got fair
commission from the man who owned
the property

BELMONTS RETURN.
Mrs. Belmont Looking spIendid-Re-
duced in Flesh.

Ne W York. July 1T was pouring
rain when the giant Cunarder Lucania
was warped against her pier at 730 p.
m.
A thousand or more persons were
waiting and there were the usual hut-
tering of handkerchiefs, tears of joy
and shouts of welcome.
Among the first persons to walk down
the gang plank was Mrs. Oliver Haz-
ard Perry Belmont who was Mrs. Will
lie K. Vanderbilt. She has lost a great
deal of flesh, and the loss has improved
her appearance. The boy at her side
was Harold Vanderbilt. At the end of
the gang plank was Willie K. Wander
bilt, Jr., quite a big boy now. Mrs. Bel
mOnt's dress was of dark blue fOulard
silk, with small white polka dots. The
skirt had three rufTles. The bodice was
trimmed to form a. yoke of white en-
brOidery. There was q black satin
girdle, with bow in the back and a
black satin cOllarette. She wore black
patent leather shoes. with black over
CATERS, and tan gloves.

worn low over her forehead. It had
next to her hair was a bunch of Amer
lean Beauties. She wore a loose hang
ing veil of point d'esprit. AS she sprang
toward her boy she displayed a hand
some black petticOat, fully ruff1ed.
Mrs. Belmont is sunburned, but New
Workers never saw her so nearly hand
some. Her eyes are bright and her
cheeks rosy.
The BelmOnts will hurry to Newport
and live in Mr.. Belmont's cottage, Ben
court.

ARID NEW YORK.
Raines Law VIII Close $500 Saloons
in Gotham.

New York, July 1T is estimated
that nearly $500 saloons will close their
doors in New York and Brooklyn Sat
urday night at midnight in accordance
with the Raines' excise law, which goes
into effect July 1.
Not only in Greater New York will
this condition prevail, but all cities are
alike affected and an untold mum Der of
people will be thrown out of employ
ment.
Considering the number of saloons as
$500 that will close because of the ina
bility TO pay the $500 tax, and allowing
seven employees to each place including
the prOprietOrs, barkeepers. lunch
men and every one down TO the sweep
ers, it may be interesting to note the
number who will be thrown out of en-
plOyment by the enforcement of the
law This number gives a total of "a
500 men who are directly dependent for
their livelihood upon the saloons which
will be closed.
The general provisions of the Raines
law have governed the business since
April Is, but it's full effects have not as
yet been felt.

SILVER IN NEW YORK.
The New York Herald Says it Makes
the State Doubtful.

New York, July 1.-The Herald,
which is one Of the staunchest eastern
gOldite organs, acknowledges that the
inroads of the silver sentiment
throughout New York state have been
SO great that it is doubtful if the old
parties can carry some of their strong
est counties in November on a gold
platform It adds:
In many of the counties there is no
actual organization of the friends of
free silver. Organization and an ac-
tive free silver campaign would make
many of the strongest Republican
counties in the state doubtful in No
vember- Even without organization
the free silver farmers knocked
places in this state in the recent Dem
Ocratic primaries.
Here are a few instances: They
instructed for free silver in the county
of Lewis. ana the he only ground on N
which it was possible for Schraub,
the Democratic leader of the county,
to go to Chicago as delegate was
that he was a free silver man at
home and a gold standard man at Sar-
atoga.
THE free silver forces ran away
with the sound money men in Genesee
county. which is the home of Smiling
Democracy in western New York.
On a test they defeated the sound
money friends of Roswell P. Flower
in the convention in the Second As
sembly district of Jefferson county
and could have carried free silver in
structions in both districts had they
been organized.
Free silver Democrats of OnandagO
and Monroe counties were in control
of those delegations to Saratoga
They wanted a declaration for the
free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to
1 as a compromise.
There are many more instances of
the same sort all over the state.
The reports printed show that it
is the Republicans, rather than the
Democrats. who should be alarmed.
THE situation is like a mountain
forest in August-ready for the match.
The Republican leaders are in ignO-
rance of the actual state of affairs.
1t has all come about in three or four
weeks. County Democracy leaders,
having become acquainted with it in
their caUcuseS, are secretly anxious
for free silver to triumph in Chicago.
They think they can shift the tariff
issue and carry the farmers almost
soIdly for free silver. In the mean
time Warner Miller, the Mckinley
leader in this state believes the
state will carry itself for Nc
kinley, and, ignorant of the dis
content among the farming classes,
is preparing to devote his whole time
to driving Plat and his sound money
followers out of the party"

l5esn't Want the Illinois Dele
CATION to Declare Itself
On the Presidential Question at
Present.
INFLUENCE is STRONG
OF the Illinois Delegation With
Other Delegations.
It May Turn the Tide Which
ever Way 1t Goes.

Chicago, July 1.-The fact that the
Illinois delegation has postponed its
decision as to what candidate it would
support in the convention has created
almost as much comment as the decis-
ion which the delegation reached look
ing to the abrogation of the two-thirds
rule. The only explanation made is
that it was considered desirable to look
the field over more completely than had
been possible before taking & position.
It is intimated, however, that Governor
AltgeId, who is in complete control of
the delegation, has plans Of his own
which are not yet sufficiently matured
to be sprung. Those who have talked
with him say he is especially concern
ed to secure a candidate on the nation
al ticket who will add strength to the
party in Illinois.
Ex-Congressman Williams, who made
the suggestion that the delegation
should indicate it's preference, said he
had introduced the subject because he
believed if the Illinois delegation would
take a position at this time, it could
practically name the candidate, be-
cause of the influence 1t would have
upon other doubtful delegations. I

may be as reliable for silver, they are

Nobody uses language half strong

ought to go beyond all bounds. My
choice is between far out-Heroding

language abstractedly might plausibly

MYRON REEDS LECTURE.
Declares That it is Not Good for the

Denver, July There was a large
attendance at the Broadway theater TO

commonwealth. 1t was as follows:
Text, John K, 16-And other sheep 1

also I must bring, and they shall hear
my voice.
What strikes me more and more is
the breadth of Jesus Christ. He goes
out from himself, out from the family,
out from the nation-talks with Sa-
marian woman-has compassion on
the multitude. The frontiers OF Jul
dea and Gailee do not bound His
thoughts or his love. He is as wide as
sin and sorrow. He intends large
things.
It does not seem to me good policy to
make people poor and desperate 1t is
not safe. Where is the profit to any
one in making the people so poor that
they cannot pay their debts. Here is
a pond in which there are many small
fish and a few big fish. When the big
fish have devoured all the little ones
what are the big ones going to live on
then?
