to be entirely too small for the needs of
our city. 1t had to be driven to its full

the result in the summer months that it
was unable to consume 1t all. Now it is
necessary to erect large plant and bills
were accordingly received Friday evening

ran all the way from 5000 to $35 OOo. Sew.

OPPOSING THE CITY ELECTION,

The proposed bill to postpone tho city
election from June 9th for eighteen
months later should be promptly killed.
1t benefits no one but present city officials
and savors too much of being legislated
into office. That the people are not to be
trusted to govern themselves. But wo
think they can be trusted for few more
years to elect their own municipal head
and subordinates. Democrats as well as
Republicans Join together in condemning
the bill. Like the boiler Inspectors bill
1t should DO killed.

NEW IN THE JURY BOX.
CoIored Woman Serves MS Foreman
in the Trial of Case in Denver.

A CoIored Woman Serves ms Foreman
in the Trial of Case in Denver.
A precedent was established in Hunts
court the other day which created con.
siderable merriment. The first woman
juror in the history of Arapahoe county
justice courts was impanelled in the
case against Dominic Gother, an italian,
who was charged with the theft of ten
cents worth of coal from a coal COM
pany. The woman juror was Mrs. Jen-
ME Pierson, eolored.
When the case was called the de-
Tense asked for jury, and the court
had to grant the request. Deputy
Sheriff Howard La Due saw the court
room was crowded with spectators and
experienced a happy sensation, think
ing that he would have no difficulty in
securing n jury out of the people pres
ent. So six men were called inside the
railing and were subjected to tire
some examination by the prosecution,
who entertained fears that they were
going to be buncoed. One after another
they were excused until the six were all
disposed of, and La Due had to return
for more. This was repeated several
times, and finally those of the spectators
who had not been called feared that
they might be, and departed.
Things were beginning to look bad
for La Due, and he was about to take his
hat and canvass the streets for jurors,
NVla Il.
son, buxom damsel weighing about
200. An idea came to the mind Of the
deputy. He stopped for moment,
scratched his head, and thought. Why
could Mrs. Pierson not answer his
purpose and save him a half days
work? He came to the conclusion that
she could and summoned her. Luckily
she was accepted by both sides, and the
case went to trial, Mrs. Pherson being
honored with the position of foreman.
The court was a little in doubt as to
whether or not he should allow wom-
nm to sit on a jury. He remembered
that the same question had.agitated his
friend, Judge johnson, at the time Nine.
Warren served on jury in the district
court, and he supposed that the pro-
ceedings would be legal. LET me see,
though" thought he. "What If the
jury refuses to agree and has to be
locked up? What will become of Jen-
nie?" At last happy thought struck
him. "Deweese is the man who was
so anxious. and want to say right nov
that if there is a disagreement he will
see that the lady is properly cared for"
This seemed to ease his judicial mind,
and he allowed the case to proceed, with
the result that after being out one mn
ute by the court clock the jury returned
a verdict of mot guilty." and all compli-
cations which might have arisen over
the presence of a woman were avoided

THE OPIUM PIPE.
How the Japs Regulate Smoking of
the NOisome Drug.

The japanese, unlike their Chinese
neighbors, have a horror of opium
smoking. In Japan it is a crime, pun
ishable by heavy fine and a long i'm
pIisonment. 1t is a crime to sell opium
OF smoking apparatus, and the only
places where the drug can be pur-
chased, or where a person may smoke.
are on the foreign reservations under
the protection of foreign flag. The
opium dens in Yokohama, Kobe, Maya.
salti and other cities are all found in
the German, French and English con-
cessions, where the japanese have no
jurisdiction. When the japanese took
possession of Formosa, which was
coded by China to japan as part of
the price of peace, they found serious
problem in the prevalence of opium
smoking among the natives and Chi
uese residents, who are numerous.
After the trial of various methods the
government has finally adopted Il rath-
err novel nolicy to repress and regulate
the vice. 1t requires every opium smok-
er to purchase a license from the gov
eminent by the paymsnt of fee, and
permits the indulgence in the vice with
in certain limits of the city, which will
result in the colonization of opium
smokers. Physicians and druggists
slone are permitted TO buy and sell the
drug, and they are required to take out
licenses and pay heavy fees for the
privilege. Any violation of this law is
punishable by Imprisonment with hard
labor for term not exceeding 10 years
or fine of not exceeding 5000 yen. In
the districts set apart for indulgence
in the vice opium-smoking houses may
Ice opened for the accommodation OF
strangers or persons who do not care
to smoke on their own premises. These
houses are subject TO strict regulations,
and every time they harbor a customer
who does not have permit TO smoke
opium the proprietor is liable to fire
of 5000 yen and Imprisonment for ! !!
years-Chicago Record.

Powerful New Signal Light.

A new signaling light of cxtraor-
binary power has been invented by Col
Miklashevski, of the Russian engineers.
During the autumn maneuvers Of the
Baltic squadron the signals were read
at a distance of "a nautical miles, and
the inventor hopes to increase the dis
lance to 60 miles by means of reflect
ing mirrors. The apparatus is compact,
weighing about seven pounds. 1t con-
tains spirit and two powders, one green,
the other red, the composition of which
the inventor keeps secret. The working
parts are two tubes ending in pear
shaped balls, which, being pressed, send
out brilliant red or green flash; by q
combination of flashes messages are
formed. The powder keeps dry under
water. Each lantern costs about 100
rubles.-San Francisco Argonaut.

By sweets enchanted. falls asleep,
While downy clouds 60 softly straylngs
Like drifting isles. the upper deep
And. lying In the grass l-think
How morbid fears and fancies shrink
Before the breath of May;
And how 'twlxt walls three times aecurst
Fun half our cares are born and hurst
To fret our lives away.
The morning winds with yiewless fingers
Remove yexation from my brain.
And when they go fragrance fingers
Behind them like q sweet refrain.
The golden light sinks IN M heart,
And straightway with gush upstart
The tides of love and joy.
God never meant this world below
For sorrow-blue skies. howers-no!-
As MONDAY glow conceals the planet
That beams the while on outer space,
go with Gods love. no eye may scan 1t,
Because HIS blessings hide His face;
And that is why He sends us woe:
That In the darkness We may know,
Undazzled by His smile.
The tender guidance of His Hand.
And feel the love no faith hath spanned,
That loves US all the while.
