Mountain Sheep in Colorado.

Mountain sheep appear to be increas-
ing in Colorado, and, stranger still,
the rare and timid animals are leaving
their dizzy haunts among the high
mountain peaks and drawing nearer to
the habita tionS of men than ever be-
fore. In the comparatively low lands,
near the town of jefferson, there is
now a flock of so or more mountain
sheep. Jefferson is on the South Park
railroad, about 81 miles south of Den
yer, in Park county. 1t is an old es-
ia blished community and has near it
the we'll known summer resort Jeffer-
son lake. The vicinity, disturbed by
the rumble of trains as well as the
sounds of human life and industry. is
not at all a quiet one. 1t has none OF
the characteristics which usually mark
the natural home of the almost extinct
mountain sheep.
And yet, for several days past band
of at least 50 of the soft-eyed. large
horned native sheep of the Rocky
mountains has been calmly grazing
around the town of Jefferson and close
to the railroads. 1t is said that the
sheep do not display any sign of fear
OF the Jefferson people. Many of them
come in open daylight within easy pis-
tol-shot of the residences. They do
not run away unless somebody pur-
posely tries to brighten them
For many years past the sight of a
mountain sheep has been a rarity in
Colorado, and usually but one at a

HENLEY ARRESTED.
Why the Play of "Cymbeline" Was
Postponed Last Night.

New York, Jan. 25-The large audi
lacks theatre this evening to witness
the first performance of Miss Margaret
Mather's revival of "Cymbeline," was
dismissed at 8 o'clock, owing to the
arrest on a charge of grand larceny
of Edward j. Henley, who was to play
the role of Iachimo. The arrest was
made as Mr.. Henley was entering the
stage door of the theatre at 1870 o'clock.
He was taken to the West Thirtieth
street police station, where, owing to
the charge being felony, bail was re-.
fused. Efforts were made by c. w.
Durham, manager of the theatre, and
by friends to procure the attendance
at the police station of a magistrate,
but their efforts were unavailing.
After holding the audience until 8
o'clock ii was decided to make an an
nouncement from the stage to the eff
feet that the performance would be
postponed until tomorrow evening.
While this announcement was being
made Miss Mather was in her dressing
room almost Frustrated.
Mrs. Hoffman Martin says she ad-
vanced $50 to Henley while he was
rehearsing in her company at the
Murray Hill theatre and received an
order from him on Miss Mather for
the amount. She said that she had
presented the order to Miss Mather
and that it had been reDudiated.
The manager offered TO settle the
Indebtedness at once, but the detective
said that the warrant called for the
arrest of Henley, and that he would
nave to take him to the police station.
It was proposed that the detective
stand in the wings and permit Mr.
Henley to go through the performance
before he was removed to the station,
but this was positively refused.
Then messengers were sent in all di-
rections after a magistrate to take bail
but none could be found.
Henley, While he was a prisoner this
evening, said: This woman has been
threatening me for several days by
letter and verbally. I shall prosecute
her to the fullest extent of the law
for false Imprisonment, and I am sur
prised that magistrate would issue
a warrant on such case"
Mrs. Hoffman Martin came to this
city from San Francisco. She is the
widow of John Martin. California
millionaire, for whose murder by poi
son she was tried and acquitted and
afterwards was engaged in extensive
litigation in the west.

An Apple of Discord.

New York Evening Sun: Some weeks
ago, when the Professional Woman's
League was discussing plans and pro-
jects with respect to the fair now in
progress, an apple of discord was
thrown into the otherwise harmonious
feats by that prominent leaguelet, BIZ
jou Fernandez. The league was wholly
unprepared for it. There was neither
preliminary nor preface. Everything
WAS moving along in the usual orderly
fashion characteristic of women'S clubs
in general and of the league in par
ticular when Miss Fernandez jumped
I'D and in stentorian tones announced:
We'll, there's one thing, If you want
to make this fair a success you'll have
to borrow some pretty women to run
it" For a minute the leagueletS sat
there as if stunned. They could hardly
believe their own ears. But before any
one could reply, or indeed had recov-
cred from the shock. Miss Fernandez
burst forth again: You see, that was
the trouble with the fair last year
The women behind the tables were all
so ugly-especially the tea table. Why,
I never saw anything like it; and if /
heard one | heard hundred persons
remark upon it. OF course l know that
it sounds better to say that the fair is
entirely in charge of our own members
but what if our own members aren't
equal to the task? And they're not,
for they're lacking in one of the most
important essentials to such success
beauty. Unless we want to repeat the
failure of last year, therefore, L advise
the league to beg, borrow or steal more
pretty women to run its fairs.

Yesterdays senate session was one
of those brief affairs which are the
delight of those who are satisfied with
but little work. The morning hour
especially was unproductive. The
president organized the members and
prayer was offered by the chaplain,
succeeding which Mr.. Harbour pre-
sented the petition of John w. White
and 156 others, asking for the enact
ment of laws to protect depositors in
banks, which request was referred to
the committee on banks and banking.
The journal not having arrived, the
chair ratified off the order of business
and, the table being cleared, he called
Mr.. Caine to the chair, who held the
same until after the minutes of the
day previous had been read and cor
rected
The reading finished, the senate took
a recess to the joint assembly.
Upon reconvening in the afternoon
Mr.. Hamer introduced senate bill No.
p, an act appropriating $4,000 for the
regular and contingent expenses of the
legislature, meaning the salaries of
members and officers, which was read
three times and passed.
The joint resolution by Mr.. Snow
providing for two commissioners to
visit the Arizona legislature and treat
with it upon the matter of changing
the boundary line between Utah and
Arizona, which was passed by the
house on Saturday, was reported back
from the committee on engrossment
and signed by the president.
Mr.. Harbour introduced senate bill
No. u, which is a measure providing
for a state board of public works,
which shall have charge of state con-
struction, ETC., which was referred to
the committee on labor.
The senate then had little fun with
itself. Mr.. Hamer wanted to meet at
10 o'clock in the morning and do some
work. The point was raised that the
rules, which provide for a session at
p. m. until further notice, would
have to be suspended. which was held
right by the chair. Hamer then
moved the senate adjourn until 10 a.
M. which was ruled out by the presi-
dent as being the same motion in an
other form. The usual motion to ad-
journ until 1870 was then made, where
upon Hamer got in a point of order
and was sustained. A motion to sus-
pend the rules was then made, and
although there was a hard struggle,
it failed to carry, and the senate ad-
journed to the hour of 2 p. m.

A Curious Racing Mistake.

Among curious sporting incidents
should be recorded one told by Mr..
John Kent in his "reminiscences of
Goodwood,'' where a horse loses race
from being too far in front at the win
ming post Mr.. c. Greville, who was
judge, was seated on an erection so
far above the level of the course that
Dandizette passed unnoticed by him,
two or three lengths in advance of
Vitellina and Ghost, which were run
ming on the opposite side of the course.
Ghost hung so much upon Vitellina as
to endanger her being driven against
the rails, which so attracted Mr.. Gre
ville's attention that he did not see
DandiZette; and Boyce. who rode the
mare, asked Mr.. Greville if he did not
win, stating that, although he passed
the post first by some lengths, he
could have increased the lead had he
felt disposed. So apparent was the
error that Lord Verulam, the owner of
Vitellina, offered the Duke of Rich
mond the stakes.

the late earthquake, a funny story is
told of a we'll known Conservative
member of parliament. He lives in an

quake disturbed his slumbers, he
jumped out of bed, exclaiming that he
