on the eve of making a vast step in her
progress, that is provided that plans
to bond the city for Improvement are
successfully carried through. As we
of Oakland are more or less on the
other side of the bay at times. it is
pleasing to learn that among the pro-
jects set forth in connection with the
bond issue is to bituminize Market
street and make it a modern thorough

tion. Some of the progressive element
are trying to urge the authorities to
undertake the panhandle plan proposed
by Frank McCoppin twenty years ago.
His idea was TO extend 1t through TO
Market street by purchasing or con-
demning the intervening property. 1t
would cost about S2000,000 to make
the extension referred to, for a whole
block Of land would be required to clear
down between Fell and Oak streets to
Market. This, however, would be q
comparatively easy sum to raise on a
bond issue. and the benefits obtained
in return would be far in advance OF

LIVES IN A CHURCH TOWER.
John c. Sutton Is Sexton of the
Church He RufIt


One of the most expensive and finest
churches in Denver was built by a man
who gave his last cent for the purpose
and who now occupies the humble posi-
ton of sexton and lives in the church
tower He is John c. Sutton, and to
all his numerous acquaintance he is
Uncle John.
The story of how he came to invest
his entire fortune in a church is a Pc
culiar one. He had drifted to Colorado
as a mine prospector and struck it rich
to the tune of about $100, ,O0O Not sat-
1sted with this, he kept on investing
In mining property until his bank ac-
count had dwindled to something like
$4,000. Then his wife died. and he
concluded to stop specializing She had
been a good woman, deeply religious,
and it had been her ambition to raise
enough money to build fine church
for the congregation of which she was
a member
Uncle john thought it all over and
one day gave his whole fortune to the
church trustees and told them to build
as line an edifice as possible with that
and what they could raise besides So.
the South Broadway Christian church
was built. When it became known that
Mr.. Sutton had given his all, the con-
gregation proposed to support him, but
he refused this and only asked to be
made sexton and be allowed to live in
the tower. He has held the position
ever since, and, although he is now
7o years old, is still hale and vigorous.
Mr.. Sutton's earlier life was filled
with varied experiences and exciting
incidents. From his fathers farm near
Butler, Pa, he went to Pittsburg and
began work on the canal as towboy.
James A. Garfield was his friend and
comrade in those days. Later Sutton
worked in a rolling mill and became an
engineer. For while he drove a four
horse stage, and then for fourteen
years he was locomotive engineer on
various Eastern roads. Being disabled
by an accident he quit railroading
and started a bakery in Alliance, 0.
Then he went West and began his sue
cessful hunt for a fortune in the mines.

is compelled to face the inevitable and
confine himself to such characters as
are demanded of him by his many
loyal admirers. Half a King" ac-
cOrding to the reports received of it,
seems to be exactly the kind of an
opera in which he can best display
those qualities most enjoyed by the
public at the hands Of Mr.. Wilson. 1t
is said to possess a clear. well-defined
and Well-deVeloped plot, with plenty
of laughable situations and some really
dramatic chmaXes, While the score is
described as being of the most melo-
dious and pleasing character The
story owes its origin to those two pro-
life French authors, M. NJ. Leterrier
and Vanloo, but the English version
is very free adaptation by Harry B.
Smith.
The opera tells of one Tireschappe,
picturesque mOuntebank Of the eigh
teenth century, who is king of a band
of Partisan VagabOnds, and who has
an adopted daughter. founding nam
ed Pierette. This girl falls in love with
the Count HonOre, son of the Duke de
Chateau MargauX. She rescues him
from the violence Of a mob composed
of her fathers followers, and thereby
wins his love in return. HonOre, how
ever, is betrothed to the daughter of
the Duke de Ia Roche-Trumeau, from
the provinces, and his affianced bride,
with her father and a secretary, are
expected to arrive in Paris to celebrate
the marriage. Tireschappe and his
band of vagabonds learn all this, and
he, being anxious to promote the hap
piness of Pierette, abducts the Duke de
Ia RocheTrumeau, his secretary and
daughter, and. with his factotum, Mis-
tigraS, and Pierette, assume disguises
and go to the palace of the Duke de
Chateau Margaux in their places, pass
ing off Pierette as the affianced one.

The appearance in this city of Clar-
ence Eddy, the great organist, in re-
cital the evening of Thursday, March
II at the Central Presbyterian church
is certain to prove an event of high
musical Importance, as it will bring
to the city a player who stands second
to none as regards technique and in
terpretation. Guilmant and Eddy are
said to be the greatest living techni-
clans and as technique is becoming
more and more Indispensable in or
ganists together with clearness of in
terpretation, pure tone and perfection
of style, Eddy's recital in this city will
possess a peculiar interest. Before
leaving for the West Mr.. Eddy ap-
peared as soloist with the Thomas or
chestra at Chicago in two concerts,
and on both occasions scored a great
success. He played several new COM
positions which were thoroughly en-
joyed by the large audiences present.

will include a choice programme con-

paper was sold, and the people to whom he
was apprenticed, not being overly kind to
him, he decided, says the Pittsburg Dispatch
as many a boy in like circumstances has
done, to try his fortune elsewhere. In COM

age, he started across the mountains for
North Carolina. Night came on, and with
