Colorado Roads Did Well In HurryIut
Special Traias Westward.
Denver, July 3.-The Republican hi.
morning says:
About G,O00 tourists arrived in Den
yer yesterday, of which 1000 continue,
their journey westward after II briei
lay over.
BY 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon tn,
rush of Christian Endeayor trave
through Denver was about over, and
the weary railroad officials went hom.
and tried to sleep Off their nervous ex
element. Some of the Denver & Ric
Grande officials were on their feet fol
thirty-six hours at the Union depot
with scarcely any intervals OF rest
Two men were busy as ants all The
time, keeping track of the incoming
trains and scheduling them out again.
The Denver & Rio Grande men are be

readers all over the country for the ad.
mlrable way they handled the crowds.
at least eighty per cent. of the entire
travel through this state passed over
the Denver & Rio Grande line, and no,
one passenger was hurt en- route. The
trains were hurried through and de-
livered to the Rio Grande Western on
time. Up to last night there had not
been any accidents, and there was not
the slightest confusion, although there
were from thirty to forty extra trains
on the road.
Representatives of the eastern lines
had not received very complete data up
to last night, by which to estimate the
number of tourists brought into Den
yer. General Agent Vallery of the
Burlington said that his line brought in
fully 1900 people on Thursday and the
Union Pacific brought In nearly the
same number. The Rock Island. San
ia Fe and Missouri Pacific each had
several heavy special trains. Just
what proportion of those who arrived
were destined beyond can only be estl,
mated from the figures furnished by
the Denver & RIO Grande and Midland
from which 1t Is variously figured that
from 1000 to 5000 persons have up to
the present time come In on tickets to
Colorado and from 1900 to 1900 Cali
fornla tourists have passed through the
state.
Passenger men figure that there will
he great rush of Colorado tourists on
the regular trains from the East and
South tomorrow. Sunday and Monday.
Persons expecting TO come to Colorado
would wish TO avoid the days when the
regular Christian Endeavor parties
were travelling. to escape the crush
The Rio Grande has knowledge of fifty
special car parties that will get in to-
day. besides the New York and Penn
sylvania Christian Endeavor delega-
tions and the Union Pacific and Rock
Island representatives all predict heavy
regular trains.

Washington. July 1.-The finance
committee suffered several unexpected
reyerses during the progress of the
tariff bill to-day, being defeated on
! three important votes. Cotton bagging
was placed on the free list, 30 to %.
The duty ON white pine lumber was
reduced from 81 to 81 per thousand,
81 to 81.
The amendment on pine occasioned
the greatest surprise and led to n gen
eral breaking up of party lines on both
sides of the chamber. During the
early stages of the debate the duty on
lumber including pine, was placed ut
So after protracted contest.
To-day Mr.. Teller returned to the
contest, and moved to place white pine
lumber on the free list. The amend
ment was defeated by the close vote
of 81 to 33, four Republicans, Baker,
Carter, Hansbrough and Quay, joining
with the Democrats, Populists and Sill
yer Republicans in the affirmative,
while three democrats, Bacon, McEn-
cry and Martin, voted with the Repub-
Leans in the negative.
Following up this close vote Mr.. Man
tie moved to reduce the rate on white
pine from 50 to 81, and this was car
ried by n majority of one. Two Re-
publlcans, Baker and Carter, voted
with the Democrats in the affirmative,
and three Democrats, Bacon, McEnery
and Martin, with the Republicans in
the negative.
The bill is now completed with the
exception of the reciprocity section and
some comparatively minor paragraphs.
Much progress was made to-day In
clearing up detached paragraphs here
tofore passed over. Only three of these
coal tar, potash and tea-remain, so
that these items, the reciprocity sec
tion and the brief internal revenue and
administration provisions, are all that
remain of the bill to be disposed of be-
fore the final vote is taken.

Tie wife Of departed pulpit orator

says Longmans Magazine: There's
Watty Scott. that was at school with
you. has published books and got
thousands of pounds for them. Why
don't you publish a volume of your
sermons and get thousands OF pounds
! fcr it," For that good lady one vol
ume was just as good as another, and
there was no reason why "Waverly"
chould interest human beings more
than a collection of discourses, all of
which had set the congregation to
sleep. The good cleric understood
things better than his admiring part
ner, but he did not suggest the con-
sideration which the astute reader has
thought Of. Quite another. He re-
piled: 'wheesht. wumman: they're a.
, In print already" He added no more.
Nor did she. Only let me say. as with
authority. that though the sermons you
have conveyed be very good in them
selves. they will sound very dull when
delivered by you. Just yesterday a
very accomplished man said to me, with
much feeling: II have Just been read
ing some of Chalmers sermons. How
could that numbering stun produce the
superhuman impression which It Is per-
fectly certain 1t did?" One could but
say that Chalmers could not publish
tina. which was the first. second, and
third thing which did the work at the
moment Of the awful hush. passed

Much more direct sentences are wanted
now. Even Henry Melville is quite out

MoLLIE GIBSON MINERS FLIED.
Discharge of the Entire Day Shift Because

Discharge of the Entire Day Shift Because
Some of Them Told secrets.
Aspen, Colo, July 1.-Some little
stir was caused here to-day by the an
nOuncement that the manager of the
Mollie Gibson mine had summarily
discharged the entire day shift of
miners which had been working in the
thirteenth level of the mine, where the
big strike was reported to have been
made a few days ago and which sent
Mollie stock ADJOINING.
The men were all discharged because
some one of them had told Of the
strike. and as the individual could not
be ascertained the entire shift was let
out Before discharging the shift the
foreman Informed them that If the
guilty party would confess no one else
would be discharged, and as no one
pleaded guilty they were all let out.
1t Will be remembered that similar
occurrence happened when the first
big strike was made in the mine sew
eral years ago. Some of the men then
employed could not keep the secret and
one day they We're discharged In n
body. The fact that fabulous strike
had been made was also vigorously de-
MED, and as no other set Of miners
were put to work in that part of the
mine for long time the public belief
grew that the reported strike was eth
er mythical or greatly exaggerated.
It was not until n large holding of the
stock had changed hands that the real
facts came out and the Mollie Glib
son commenced shipments by express.

A foreign exchange says: Australia
at present is soIely tried by drought.
and that the trouble is serious may be
inferred from the great activity of the
church in making propitiatory appeals
and the proclaiming of days Of prayer
for rain by the governments. In
Western Australia the greatest suffer-
ing is experienced. Within ninety
miles OF the coast all the timber, with
the exception of river gums. has en-
tirely dried out. From Ashburton to
Gascoyne. should the drought continue
much longer. all the stock, 1t is e1-
pected. will perish. The last summer
rain that fell there was in February.
1892, and. with the exception OF a fair
fall OF six inches in the winter Of 1894,
only enough rain has fallen in that
district to keep the stock alive. al
though inland stations had no reason

Veil OF dignity Which Shuts women
from the World.
An Englishman, bent on mastering
the mysteries Of their code OF worship,
attended Hindoo debates where the
orthodox and the advanced school met
together In discussion. says the Quiv-
er. Can you tell me-" he inquired at
last. confused by the arguments and
counter-arguments tossed like shuttle
cocks from one to another, ''of the sim
gle article of your creed which you all
hold In common?"
I'VE all believe" one of them replied,
"in the sanctity of COW and in the
depravity of q woman"
As rule. they act up to this article
OF belief, or, rather, they live down to
1t. Yet once upon time. even In In
dia, there seems to have been golden
ago for women. Their present social
condition Is traced to the Mohammedan
Invasion. The country was harrassed
by erruptions OF Arabs and Persians
from the year 1000 until 1t was con-
quered by the Sultan Baber in 1925.

ohis idNuEc DlOodoHcup put many
evils hitherto unknown in the country.
The Hindoo homes were robbed Of their
women and girls to fll tho harems. or
zenanas. as they are called in India,
and the Hindoos shut up their wives
and daughters In order to protect
them. Only the higher castles could
do this effectually. Stern necessity re-.
quired that the poorer girls and women
should work. and 1t offers degrees of
liberty on a descending scale. The
higher the caste, the more complete the
seclusion.
1t is computed that at least 100000
girls and women live behind the pur-
dah or curtain, metaphoricaliy veil
OF dignity, which shuts them off from
the outer world. 1t Is not from want
of natural humanity that zenana is
the darkest part Of the house and
farthest away from the entrance into
the street. A Hindoo Is very religious;
1t Is said that he even "sins religious
ly." His sacred books tell him that
woman must be protected: that she
must not be allowed to look out OF
window into the street; that no man
except near relation must look oil
her face. and. II she offends. she may
be corrected by "a rope. whip or
cane"
