friend arose to address the mem bsrs.
He shows in marked manner, the ef.

speed bIm and his work.
Lovers OF music-and there are many
such here--are preparing 10 enjoy q
treat. Nordica and Scalch. give con
cert on the 90th at the Broad way
theater. Every seat, including several
hundred chairs spread over the three
floors, has been taken, and standing
room is at premium. II is without
doubt the musical event of the season.
Miss Yaw comes next---in favor,

tan! Heretofore, when we needed
some particularly fine and fashionable
article Of apparel, or wished to impress
our friends with our exquisite taste, We
were obliged to go through very ex-
haustive brain work, write reams OF
letters to Chicago or New York, and
wear ourselves ont trying to choose
Alright from among the vast array Of
samples sent Us. Now all is changed.
We write to or call on our expert

Now that our new governor has
taken the reins in hand, and interest
IN his appointees dies out, We are |
turning our attention more than ever
to the labor troubles in Leadville.
Owing to some secret influence, hard
TO comprehend, the good Offices of
Gov. Adams and e, v. Dsbs failed to |
bring about settlement between the

properties are rapidly filing with

implements, stoves and ironware, are
the principal articles mentioned. Most
people want our legislative members to
go home. They mar much more than
they make.
Ladies, attention! The rough faced
goods are out, and the smooth-faced
broadclolhs and cashmeres are all the
rage. Tallor-made gowns and coats,
with few notifications in the shape
