a clever woman, Mrs. Theodore Shelf, if
expensive.
The good she did in this world during
her sway may be summed under the heads
of encouraging dressmakers, society jour-
nalists and the manufacturers of old
masters, and by these and q few others
she will be missed.
The evil she did is the talk Of the street,
and the poor folk who were ruined by the
failure of her husbands companies can be
eloquent thereon.
But her loss is not without ono gain.
Now that she has gone the poor woman
makes very pretty peg for husbands who
knew her to hang moral on for the delec-
tation of their unfortunate wives.

Artesian Wells in the american

Artesian Wells in the american Desert"
Mr.. N. H. Darton, of the United States
Geological Survey, is quoted in the Denver
Republican as saying that there is prac.
tically inexhaustible supply of artesiar
well water under the plains lying at the
foot of the eastern slope OF the Rocky
mountains, and that the geological survey
is mapping this region, showing where and
at what depth the water may he found
According to the interview quoted, lying
under the foothills on the eastern slope OF
the Rocky mountains, there is great
sheet of sand or saDds,on placed between
two layers OF clay. The sand holds the
water which gets into it in the mountains
and the natural dip allows it to run down
under the plains between the imperneable
clay strata. The depth of this bed varies
from so to 1900 feet. 1t is not probable
that the water is as plentiful everywhere
as 10 the well known South Dakota arte-
sian well district; but Mr.. Dsrton thinks
that with reservoirs and other provisions
for proper economy, there is plenty of
water to develop therich desert soil to q
profitable degree.

THE GOLD DEMOCRATS.
They Are Here to Stay a. Distinct Political
Party, Say the Leaders.

INDIANAPoLIs, Ind December To-
The national democrats are here /,
stay as q new and distinct political
party. This, it is given out, will b

is in session, TO. day, at the new Denni.
son hotel, IN response to the call of The
national chairman, William d Bynum.
The latter recently returned from an
eastern visit OF several days duration,
during which he conferred with a num-
Der Of representative gold democrats,
including ex-Secretary Of the Treasury
Fairchild, Ex-Governor Flower, Oliver
Perry Belmont and Bouike Cockrah
All of these and others were OF the
opinion that the organization should be
maintain aud that the national demo
Gratis should seek to occupy the posi-
tion held up TO the tims Of the disrup.
ton. last September, by the united
democratic party as the only simor-
pure exponent of democratic princi-
pies. The executive committee will
probably issue an address to the ma
tiop, inviting attention to the dangers
that are threatened by the continued
agitation OF the silver issue by Mr..
Bryan aud the western mine owners.
Chairman Bypum says that from all
over the country there are coming de-
maods that the organization be made
permanent and keep in fighting trim
and that, inasmuch as the free silver
democrats have decided to continue
their agitation, there Is no reason why
the gold standard democrats should
not keep their flag at the masthead
The committee will have brought to its
attention the new democratic republi-
can movement initiated in the east by
Henry Willard and others, and the
main object of which is to get the tariff
and money laws out of the hands Of
the politicians, or in other words TO
rally the commercial interests OF the
country under the ssouud money"
flag, and with proper tariff regulations
enacted under the advice of commits
sion OF business men. While it IS
possible, however, that the the execu-
tive committee may approve OF the
principles of this movement, 1t is not
inclir ed to recommend a coalition.
Nearly every one OF the members insists
that the national democrats must con-
tinue to fight for the principles of the
platform, and that the
democratic party must
continue as an active organization.

AMERICAN METH0DIsM.
1t Was Organized in Baltimore Over a
Century Ago.


Methodism in America had its
starting point in Baltimore.
One hundred and twenty years
ago the Metodist Episcopal Church,
the parent of all the branches of
American Methodism, was formed
at the famous christmas Confer
ence" held in the lovely Lane Meet
ing house, a quaint structure which
stood where uhe Merchants Club
now stands, on German street, east
of Calvert.
To commemorate the historic
event the MethOdists of several de-
nominations contributed towards
the purchase of a bronze tablet,
which was at dusk last evening
placed in position upon the front
wall of the Merchants Club Build
ing, under the direction of Mr.. B. +.
Bennett, says the Baltimore Amer
lean of November 25.
No formal unVeiling took place
there. but at night services com
memorative OF the event were held
in the First Church, st. Paul and
Twenty-second streets, which is
the lineal defendant of the congre-
CATION which used the Lovely Lane
Westinghouse until It's abandon
ment in 1886.
The representatives of the vari-
GUS branches of Methodism which
took part in the meeting were lnvl-
ted to go out of their way bit to-
day and examine the tablet and off
er up a prayer before it that the
history of early Methodism might
not be forgotten by future CAMERA
tions.
The tablet was designed by Nc
Kim, Meade & White, the famous
firm of New York architects who
modelled the buildings of the Wo-
mans College. 1t was made in Bal
timore at cost of $3.50, and a col
lection to defray the cost was taken
up at last nights meeting,
The wording of the tablet is as
follows;
Upon this site stood from IVA to
1886 the Lovely Lane Westinghouse
in which was organized, December,
1884, the Methodist Episcopal
Church in the United States OF
America.

Who of our readers remember
twenty-five years ago when the
movement of people from the East
to the West fairly began? The
people of the East generally woold
decide to go West, make a fortune
and in a few years return to the old
home to live the balance of their
days Go out in that same eoun-
try today and we find those same
people followed by many friends
They have, as a rule done well, and
are now desirous of coming South
to live on account of the climate.
Many do come South for the winter
and are so pleased they dispose Of
their holdings North and move
here permanently The people Of
the East should 90 directly South,
There are thousands living upon
