Captain Lower Explains Matters
That Were Neglected.

NAT were NSSleSteQ.
The following explanatory letter
from Capt ]. N. Lower of the Denver
Rifle Club to w. H. Bell of the Homo
lulu Sharpshooters was received yes
terday.
The targets referred to were desired
by the Sharpshooters merely as me
mentos. There was no question as to
the correctness of the scoring.
DENVER, COLO, Dec %, 1896.
Friend Bell have just returned
from the San Juan country, where
was called suddenly to adjust some
important mining matters. Being
away on this, business for over 1C
weeks and getting little or no mail
connection, | have just learned how
the team shoot came out, and send the
Honolulu marksmen my hearty con.
gratulations. / am told that the Den
yer team was a weak one, as several
of its shooters were away on business
but | guess the balance did the bes
they could Previous to my leaving
sent all the communications, etc, t
Mr. Boardman, the Honolulu team!
representative, so that he would b
thoroughly posted on the conditions
ETC.; and then, as l could not look afte
the affair myself, | turned everythin.
over to H. A Willis, the clubs secre
tary | think that some of the detail
were overlooked by him in not send
ing the targets, although he says h
spoke to Mr.. Boardman about takinl
them after the shoot was over, but 70
some cause or other it was neglecte,
then, and when he went to get then
afterwards, found that some one ha'
been using them. / gave him a piec
of my mind on the subject, and asket
that a full explanation be made L
Captain Dodge regarding the matter
| was considerably put out, becaus
the natural courtesies of the club ha
been neglected, and attribute it NOR
to neglectfulness and carelessnes
than any disregard for courtesy q
their part.
Congratulating the Honolulu tear
on their victory and best regards t
yourself, and wishing. you merr

He stands in silence by the dead abyss.
Knowing that earth no mystery holds
like this!
The ruddy east is all afiame with gold,
and crimson cloudlets shoulder N

And purpled mists, that sea and earth
enfold,
The gold to silver changeth and the

A mighty chasm seething to the 5rim,
With rolling wastes of wind-driven
clouds and mist
Tipped with the colors of the rainbow's
rim
Where the new sun with lips of
flame hath kissed
The crests of, Dreaming clouds that
rise and fall
With noiseless surges by the crater
wall.
Deep in this chasm where the change
full mists,
In silence roll their opalescent
waves;
Billows of crimson lava roared and
Kissed
Tapped with their blood-red lips the
hollow caves,
And leapt in fiery cascades down the
sleeps
To join the tumult in the AvernIan
deeps.
When this vast pit was all a swelling
flood
OF liquid fire that broke with thun-'
dering shocks,
In whelming waves, and CORY crests
of blood
Against the barriers, and the scat
tered rocks
Drowned in the flood, while every
tower and spire
Shone DER the flames, like "Obelisks
of fire."
The light that streamed above The
lurid swell
OF waves of flame that leapt the
boundary wall,
Illumined the heavens like vaultsd

And stygian vaypors like funeral

Since earthquakes rent thee, and the

Burning their pathways, in their fury

We know not now if any human eyes
In terror looked upon the flaming

We know not now if any human kind
Heard thy loud thunder, or reverber-
ate roar
Felt the hot breath of thy sulphurous
wind,
Or saw the red waves lash the iron
shore,
Or watched the food from the unfath-
omed deep,
In fiery foam o'erwhelm the wildered
sleeps.
IT'S not for us to ravel the unknown,
We know that rest has come to thee
| at lastI
Is not the fire-king banished from his

Whistles no more the hot winds
revening blast!
Shall raging floods burst from thy
heart again,
Thy walls be deluged with the GRIM

Absolute silence where thy lofty dome,
Towers far into the heavens cloud
less blue,
The MONDAY sun now flashing Ger the
Sleeps all the landscape in silycry

A veil of cloud blots out the lower

And seas of sapphire lie on either hand
III stand no more upon thy lonely
height,
Nor break the silence of thy solitude
Long years may pass, but memory
shall keep bright
The by-gone days when I in wonder
stood.
Enrapt in admiration and in awe

the tax collector IL anybody ever paid
less taxes than that. He said YES, Il
good many had just paid three cents
taxes. My. my. how fellow like that

taxes year TO support the state and
government can talk about the rich
getting richer and the poor getting
poorer, and how that the laws of the
land were all made in the interests o:
the rich against the poor. and how the
poor man has got no chance in this
country! When he has got no taxes

that there is not man in the United
