Them Out Of Colorado.

DENVER, Col, Aug. Cit is announced
that State Auditor Parks, who is ex-
oliicio insurance commissioner, is about

ocratic party Is successful in the coming
election their policies will be worth but
half the amount en- which the premiums
have been made. 1t is said Mr.. Parks
has been quietly securing q collection of
these circulars, which he claims are evil
dence OF insolvency on the part OF the
companies, and he now proposes to can :
eel the licenses of all such companies
which are now doing business in this
State. 1t is claimed that the auditors
judgment in such cases Is final, and that
il he insists upon this course, the COM
panles will be barred from doing busi-
ness IN the State.

Esther Found a Strange
Man at Her Side.
He Didn't Wear a Hat in Bed
and That's How She Knew.
Fabian Family Resumes Its Rest
After Intruder'S Trial.

NEW YORK. Aug. 6.-Jacob FABIAN
and his wife esther keep dressmaking
shop in tho basement of the big six
story double tenement at 102 Allen street,
in which dwell over 100 men, women
and children.
Finding it impossible to sleep In his
basement bedroom during the hot
weather Fabian conceived the idea OF
changing his sleeping quarters to the
back yard.
He moved a mattress out in the yard
under the rear stoop, and for fortnight
past he and his wife have been enabled
to enjoy whatever stray breezes blew into
the Allen street back yard, and have
slept in comparative comfort.
When 1t rained heavily all they had to
do was TO bring the mattress indoors and
wait until the storm cle,red. lie and his
wife considered themselves better off even
than their fellow tenants who slept on
fire escapes.
Business having come to a standstill at
IL o'clock last night Fabian took light
lunch on sausages and pretzels, and at
midnight he donned his nignt.clothes,
put on his hat, and went to bed on tho
mattress in the back yard. Fabian al
ways sleeps with his hat on, after the
manner of the other men in the Polish
quarter.
He awoke thirsty just before O'Clock
this morning. and went to the basement
store to get O drink of water. Five
minutes afterward a man about Fab
ian's size lay down on the mattress
beside Mrs. Fabian, who was half asleep.
1t was dark IN the yard, so Mrs. Fabian
could not see him.
The man had been drinking, and he
muttered something as he lay down.
Mrs. Fabia, put her hand on his head
and discovered that he not only did not
have his hat on, but that he was bald as
well.
Mrs. Fabian screamed and sprang to
her feet. Her cries awoke the sleepers on
the fire escape of the tenement and ad-
joining house, and in jiffy everything
was in an uproar in that part of ALLEN
street. Every body thought burglar had

Interesting Facts About
How Horses Swim.
Mexican Dollars Heavier Than
Our Silver Ones.
A Returned Visitor to Europe Talks
About Big Wine Tuns.

The Gossiper-like good many other
people had supposed that horse swims
naturally as soon as he is of his feet in
the water, but a veteran horseman de-
clares that such Is not the case and he
adds some very interesting facts about
the subject. a horse In the water he
says-h but one motion 10 keep his mead
out OF the water and to lift his shoulders
as NIGH as possible. In doing this his
headquarters sink, and he finds himself
almost standing on his tail, or at least in
a position three-quarte RS erect. In such
an attitude. IL the rider draws upon the
reins, or throws mis- body back in the
least, the animals hind quarters will sink
more and more, his body will take ver-
tical position, and beating the water
ueelessly with his forefeet he will finally
sink.
The.horseman adds these instru ctions:
AS soon as the horse gets off bis feet in
the water, let the rider grasp the ami
mails name, leaning at the same time
well forward upon its shoulders, but
without touching its head. The riders
knees should 'be pressed tightly to the
horse's sides, otherwise he is likely to be
swept of by the water. This is the only
position which will enable a man to re-
main In the saddle and the horse to swim
AT the same time. The reins must be
held loosely and each well TO one side.
81 see tnat you say in the Gossip
column that Mexican silver dollars are
accepted by merchants at only the bull
lion value, or about 80 cents. What
would like to know is whether our
American dollar Is heavier than the Mexi-
can dollar" This question from an in
ierested correspondent has been answered
be fore, but the Gossiper will repeat 1t
briefly 1T This time. the American
standard dollar weighs 4l2.5 grains and
tho Mexican 420 grains. being, therefore
heavier than even our silver coin. The
amount Of alloy In eac h case is about the
same, all silver used for coinage purposes
being alloyed to the extent Of 10 per
cent. for the sake.of the additional hard
ness.conferred by the alloy, which pre-
vents the too rapid abrasion of the coin
by use. The Mexican dollar is tho sue
ceasor or the Spanish milled dollar,
coined during the time OF Spanish occu-
patton, hat discontinued when the
colonies became independent.

Another question sent to the Gossiper
is as TO what is meant by "The Seven
Lamps of Architecture" This is the
title OF one OF Ruskin's most valuable
works, and 1t seems TO illustrate his
fondness for fancifui phrases. both as
titles for his volumes and headings for
the chapters in them. In some respects
this work, on what may be called the
ethics OF architecture is his best perfor-
nance, having freshness that does not
appear In severel of bis other produc-
tions. The work is divided into seven
chapters or Lamps" Sacrifice, Truth,
Power, Beauty, Life, Memory and
Obedience, each OF these being labo-
rarely treated with reference TO It's mani
fe station in the work OF the builder.
100 abstract for general reading, it has
power become popular, but still remains
one OF the noblest monuments to the
ganius.of the great word-psinter.

is without warrant even as a fear. There
such a suspicion. The loan is offered
as a popular one. The Administration
could not more plainly invite the people
to take the bonds if it had personally
addressed each citizen. The duty of
the people to themselves is to take up
this loan promptly, and we believe that
they will do so. There has been offered
no better investment for the poor man
in the generation. 1t is almost equiva-
lent to the getting of twenty dollar
pieces at eighteen dollars each. It is
said that the taking of the loan by the
people will draw money from local in
vestment and Improvement. Not so.
The bonds form the basis for the most
substantial credit possible to be estab-
lished, and will, in fact, stimulate saw
ing and promote local Improvement,
building, purchase of real estate, and for
the matter of that negotiation of loans
upon such requirements. In fact, in
stead of tying money up, the taking Of
the popular loan is going to loosen it,
and the bonds held by the people will
be the equivalent of the money invested
in them for all purposes of trade, com
merce, improvement and investment
without the cost to the user of money
for such purpose that is incident to the
borrowing upon real estate.

THE ROERs.

In this issue of the Record Union"
will be found an editorial side article
upon the history and patriotism of the
Beers of South Africa, and the en-
croachments of the British upon their
territory, that will prove of interest and
information to such as have not read
the romantic history of the brave and
devoted people of the Transvaal Re
public. It would seem impossible for
American sympathy to go out to the
English in this struggle between the
freebooters under Jameson, and really
under the South Africa Company, and
the people who rightfully govern in the
Republic of the Transvaal. The article
to which attention is invited, rapidly
but by no means exhaustively, shows
why the Beers hate the English, and
why they have resisted the English pol
icy of absorption and territorial exten-

JUSTICE TO CONGRESSMAN JOHN
SON.

On Friday last ours evening contem-
porary referred to Congressman GroveL.
Johnson from this district as not likely
to be true to his ante-election pledges
ito vote against any refunding BILL :
Prior to this our contemporary had
made much the same fling at Congress
man johnson, saying as far back as last
December: TT will be remembered
that Mr. Johnson's ante-election state
ment on the refunding bill was that he
was opposed thereto. and his promise
was that he would vote against it."
This, now followed by the inuendo Of
Friday, demands of fair and impartial
journalism that Congressman Johnson
should be set right, and not be subjected
to the intimation thrown out by our
contemporary that he is a promise
breaker. An examination of the steno-
graphic reports of Mr.. Johnson s
speeches IN opening and closing his
campaign in this city. show that he did
not make the promise alleged by the
Bee" What he did say, and that ex-
tendedly, was that he was opposed to
the Reilly funding bill, and he gave his
reasons therefor very fully. In his cam
