WARNING GENERALS.
General Curtis Says He Can Take Care
of Himself

Washington, Feb. general n. NJ.
Curtis, member of congress from the
Twenty second district of New York,
last night emphatically denied that he
had, at the banquet of the New York
commandery of the Loyal Legion, used
the words coward, liar or cur" which
have been attributed to him in some
newspaper reports, when he made a re-
ply to statements contained in a paper
read by General Ames of Lowell, Mass,
on the capture of Fort Fisher during
the late civil war. When asked for
a detailed statement in regard to the
matter, General Curtis spoke substan-
TALLY as follows:
General Ames' paper contained
very severe structure upon General Ter
~, who commanded the successful ex-
petition against Fort Fisher. and some
statements very uncomplimentary to the
part performed by him (Curtis). These

The Switzerland of America.

To the true lover of nature Colorado S
canons and parks present all that could
be wished for. The beauties of the
brooks, the grandeur of the towering
peaks and crags, the charms of the fan
tastic grouping of rocks, the richness of
the commingled verdure all combine to
form ideal pictures. All these and more
the trip TO Como, through the Platte
Canon possesses. From Its inception
the road has been regarded as triumph
of engineering genius and skill. From
the moment the canon is entered one is
bewildered by the daring of the project
and the beauty of the scenery. After its
tortuous wlndings through the canon,
past charming summer villas, and all
the various charms of the gorge, the
train at length turns the horseshoe and
makes the ascent of Kenosha summit.
Then continuing westward, the road de-
scends again. Just as it emerges from
deep cut, the train swings around
upon the face of the summit and behold!
the glorious expanse of South Park lies
before. This vast basin, hemmed in by
towering peaks, dotted here and there
with little villages, and stretching away
to the south from thirty-6ve to forty
miles compels the admiration of all. The
distant southern range looms up in SOL
emn grandeur 200 miles away. The first
impression is one never to be forgotten.
and when the little villages in the park
are reached and passed and the return
home again is begun, this impression still
remains fondly cherished as the Crown
ing climax of the trip. Everyone that
can possibly take the trip should feel it
his outv to do so. His knowledge of
Colorado is wofully incomplete until the
pilgrimage is performed. The Gulf and
South Park management have by most
generous concessions placed the trip
within the reach OF everyone. and the
opportunity should not be lost.

possession number of daggers. Among
their papers was found letter from
Cafero, the murderer of Carnot, and one
from Acciarito, the anarchist that at

The arrest of these anarchists has caused
panic among the anarchists in Rome

covered evidence that there is strongly
organized band of anarchists formed to

Newspaper Editing Fifty Years Ago,

Secretary Sherman said that newspa-
pers are not edited now as carefully as
in earlier days, and the National 1ntelli-
gencer was referred to as model of
careful editing. In point OF fact, with
reasonable care capable man could
edit newspaper with great ease half
a century ago, as there was little to edit
and newspapers were luxury prepared
only for intelligent readers who were
able to pay very high price for them.
There was no telegraphic news and
newspapers as rule were simply CON-
pilations without local editors or corre-
spondents. Now the editor of a news
paper has to handle score of editors,
several scores of reporters and thou.
sand correspondents. including special
and Associated Press.-Philadelphia

Klondyke Quartz Mining Doubtful.

The Colorado miners who are going to
the Arctic regions to look for quartz
leads, says the Denver Republican. are
not likely to escape Disappointment.
The richness of the Klondyke gravel
does not imply extreme value in the
quartz. any more than the value of ton
of concentrates indicates the gross value
of the ore in the vein. Concentration on
an enormous scale. but really on modern
improved methods. is what the glaciers
and streams of the Klondyke have been
doing, and when the fine gold has been
taken from the basins of the canon floors
there is little on which to base the
opinion that the quartz mining outlook
will be any better than it is in Colorado.

Hot Springs weekly star. (Hot Springs, S.D.) 1892-1917, 1897-09-17

Hot Springs should have a cheap eX-
cursion rate from everywhere along
the Northwestern and Burlington
systems at least once a week all the
year round. The railroad companies
make a mistake in not having eXcur-
sion rates during the winter as we'll as
summer, for we boast of having a fine
winter climate-and the railroads
know that we have. The very fact
that they withdraw excursion rates in
the fall would tend to convince health
or pleasure seekers more than any
thing else that this is only a summer
resort. People are very generally find
ing out that we have an all the year
round resort and railroads should &C.
comodate them with cheap rates in
winter as we'll as summer.
