Told In Explanation Of the Likeness Of
Girl o. the Facc OF "a Ciin.
Many arc the eyes that are turned daily
to the picturesque statue that stands hun
dreds of feet above the busy village uf
Georgetown, Colo, incased, as it were, in
chiselCd vault and placed there i'm most
mysterious manner With silent vigil II
looks down upon the busy populace, SER
tinel of noiseless guardianship. Yet how
few of the many who look upon the fair
picture know of the legend connected
Herewith and the sorrowful tale of by
gone times that is interviewer by Indian
history with it. 1t was related to a pio-
neer of Georgetown some thirty odd years
ago by an old Indian with whom he
camped in Middle park. The Indians
story, as near as the frontiersman, who
still lives there, could remember it, Is as
follows:
There was gathered in the valley where
Georgetown now stands, in the early part
of the century, a great meeting of the nu-
merous tribes of Indians of the plains and
mountains that had been at war as far
back as the oldest chiefs could remember.
A general desire for peace had been shown
by the various tribes and the council was
for that purpose.
The plains Indians had elected power
full chief of the Chcyennes, named Cor nu-
co-ya, while the mountain tribes had for "a
leader Tu Sc now, noted far and wide for
his excellent qualities in settling difficult
ties. Tu. Sc now brought beautiful
daughter with him, whose name was Tab
Xxi. She was the pride of all the mountain
tribes and was known far and wide for
her wonderful beauty. For six years the
parley lasted and broke up in "A row. "A
battle was fought and won by Cor-nu-co-
va, during which Tu-se-now was killed
and the beautiful maiden captured. The
dead plains Indians were borne to the
plateau at the head of Leavenworth canyon
and buried A number of years ago n
prospector driving II short tunnel in from
the banks of the creek encountered the re-
mains of some of the warriors and numer-
Gus arrow points, which goes to verify the
tradition.
After the battle the maiden, refusing to
become slave to her captor, was sem
fenced to be burned at the stake. This
sentence was duly carried out. They not
only burned her until life was extinct, but
until every vestige of her body was con-
sumed, and as the last small cloud of as
cending smoke left the spot of suffering
there was terrible CONFUSION of nature.
The mountains trembled for a moment,
and the whole eastern face of what is now
Republican mountain was hurled into the
valley, burying every plains warrior be-
meath the mountainous rock nestled in the
heart of the town and now known as
Chimney rock or Bunker hill. The cap
tive mountain prisoners who witnessed
the cataclysm from distant point cast
their eyes to the mountain that had hurled
destruction upon their enemies, and in the
face of the broken cliff saw the beautiful
maiden looking down upon them, and for
many years after they paid annual visits
to this beautiful valley to worship at the
shrine of Tab Xxi, the beautiful Indian
maiden. Denver Republican.

BROWN AND BLUE.

Oh, the brown, brown streams OF March
Are the blue, blue streams of May,
And they lit along with lighter laugh
As they carol on their way
They sprinkle the powders brown
With golden, shining spray.
They are artists, gliding the old, gray world
These sunlighted streams of May.
And the brown, brown woods Of March
Are the green, ocn woods Of May,
And they liit then arms with freer swing

Science and religion have INDUCED in

earth One of the best authorities and ono

all disputants tells us that the earth be-

and 30,000,000 years ago This state
ment is based on the length of time that
would be required to solidify all OF the

AS this has been one of the ever present

A gentleman who had glass eye went
to India. When he got there, he engaged
q number of servants. The duty of one of
these servants was to fan his master
through the night. These fanners-pun-

their work very badly. This gentleman
knew of this. One day while he was out
walking he was much amused to hear his
tanner and another one talking. The fan

a Snip'S Log.

Before the patent log care into ex-
istence the old fashioned chip log was the
only means of measuring IA ships rate of
sailing. 1t has one advantage over the
former, inasmuch ms vessels speed can
he told by it at any given instant, while
the patent log is mainly useful for record
ing u considerable distance run. The old
fashioned log consists of four pieces
namely, the log chip, the reel, the line
and the sand glass
The log chip Il fiat piece Of thin board
loaded with lead on the circular side so
that 10 will float upright on the water, and
to which the log line is fastened in the
same way that bow kite is rugged to re-
ceive the string. The line is 100 fathoms
or more in length and is divided into Ger
tain spaces called knots. The reel is made
TO turn very freely, SO that it will offer no
resistance when the log chip is thrown
overheard The sand glass contains lust
enough grains 10 pass from one bulb to
the other in half % minute of time This
practice of measuring II ships rate of sail
ing is quite simple The idea is that the
length between each knot is uhe same part
of mile as half a minute is of an hour
Therefore the knots ar placed 81 feet
apart What is called neaving the log Is
thus performed One man holds the reel
another the half minute glass; the officer
throws the log chip over the stern and
waits moment until enough line has
run out TO carry the chip out OF the eddy
of the ships wake, then calls, Turn
The man holding the glass reverses it and
watches until the sand has run through.
when he cries, Stop The officer imme.
diately stops the line and notes the num-
Der of knots run off, which number repre-
sents the rate of speed per hour. -Harper's

THE CASE OF DIR. ANDREWS.

DR.. E. Benjamin Andrews, presid-
ent of Brown University, has resign
ed as president on account Of his un-
willingness to comply with the re-
quest of the trustees and the wishes
Of the majority of the graduates Of
that institution and refrain from ad-
vocating conspicuously the free coin
age of silver. For years DR.. Andrews
has been an eager partisan of bad
money. The Brown men were willing
that he should commend his views to
having the college compromised by
his opinions. They did not seek to
interfere with his liberty of thought,
but they did not think that the inter
ests of the university would be fur
thered by his ceasing to be an insis-
tent and prominent champion Of
what seems to most Brown not mere
ly economic error, but moral dishon-
esty.
American colleges are largely de-
pendent upon private liberality for
their support. They cannot afford to
have at their heads unbalanced sem
timentalists with gift for shocking
the moral sense of the communities
and the persons that maintain them.
The question Of the freedom Of opin-
ion is not involved. President An
drews owed much to Brown Universe
ty. For the interests of Brown Uni
versity he might have consented to
be less Extensively prominent as
propagation of error. AS he did not
care to consent, he resigned, thereby
showing that he loves notoriety more
than he loves his college.

NEW TARIFF WILL CAUSE Il
BUSINESS Revival.


Senator George F. Hoar has been
interviewed regarding the new tariff
law and has this to say in explana
nation and defence of the measures:
81 hope and expect that the tariff
will, on the whole, prove satisfactory
| The bill has been framed under very
| grave difficulties. In the first place,
foreign manufacturers and domestic
importers were crowding the market
with foreign products upon which the
duty was expected to be raised. So
to protract the debate by a day, or,
perhaps, even by an hour, was to cost
the Government large sums in the
loss of duties, and to prevent SO far
the operation of protection to the do
mestic manufacturer. We were
obliged, therefore, to sit silent while
our opponents made most extrava-
giant and unfounded attacks upon the
bill.
eve all of US, representatives of
Massachusetts, in both Houses, re-
gretted very much the conclusion to
put duty on hides. Some eminent
manufacturers of boots and shoes and
other forms of leather industry think
that the duty as it is left will do little
harm to New England manufa cturers,
and will do little good to the farmers
who raise cattle. But the general
opinion, think, among other manu-
facturers is that the duty will be an
injury to their interests. They had
growing export trade, amounting to,
perhaps, 100000 in boots and
shoes, and little more than $780,
O00,O0 in leather in forms. 1t is fear
ed that the duty would absorb the
entire profit of this export trade.
That will be a serious misfortune if it
happens.
''But, on the other hand, they must
consider that the whole business of
boots and shoes and leather amounts
to between $500, 200, 900 and s6oO,OOO,
600. This great domestic industry,
like every other, is depressed in times
like those we have passed through.
Certainly, an export business Of $685.
100000 would be purchased too dearly
by the injury to the domestic manu-
facturer which the failure to pass a
tariff and the consequent poverty and
inability to buy at home would have
caused in the domestic market. My
colleagues and have done our duty
according to the best light we could

ST am extremely hopeful for the
future. expect a revival of busi-
ness, and hope and expect, though
folly is hard to kill, that the old free
trade fallacies and arguments will not
be SO much heard of in the future.
Indeed, the doctrine of protection has

A few weeks ago the Brazilian gov
ernment announced that its forces
had defeated the army of the imperi-
alists at Canudos, a town near the
coast, where rebellion against the
republican government has been in
progress for several months. AS it
now appears that the Brazilian forces
retreated after the battle, and the
Brazilian government is to send a
an-of-war and reinforcements of
1000 men to the Brazilian army, it
must have been a queer sort of vic
tory for the republican forces.
