SUNDAY LIQUOR SELLING.
Denver Sheriff TO Raid the Road
House and Stop It

Denver. Col, June 1.-Sherin Webb has
taken precautions for the proper regula-
ton of the Sunday resorts. 1t is the
sherin's intention to exercise supervision
over the saloons at Fort Logan Sheridan,
Petersburg, Brighton and Lfttleton, in ad-
dition to the resort at Orchard Place. He
says he is acting on the advice of the
district attorney. and, so far as his stan
goes he will use them. District Attorney
Hayes states in his opinion to the sheriff
that the keeping open of saloons on Sun
day whether or not the parties indulge in
the sale or giving away of Intoxicating
liquors is violation of the law of 1891.
and the parties are liable to be arrested.
Sheriff Webb says he will instruct his
men to collect evidence of violations of
the Sunday saloon law and viii submit
the evidence to the district attorney for
that officials action. Next week he will
apply to the county commissioners for an
appropriation to employ additional depu-
ties to supervise the saloons along the
Brighton road and other places. Today
he will serve notice on the proprietors of
the different resorts, and if they refuse
their cases Will be presented to the dis
srict attorneys office.

DIR. MINNEY ON CHICAGO.
The Doctor Makes Some Observations
on His Recent Visit.

DR.. J. E. AIinney, dean of the Kansas
Medical college, returned today from Chi
cago where he has been for the past 10
days studying hospital work. DR.. Minney
has made frequent trips to Chicago for
the past several years and in this way
has been an observer of the changes oc-
curing in the western metropolis. He
believes that Chicago is now at a stand
still, and that the arrest of progress is
due to the Gulf outlet for commerce. In
reference to this matter, Dr.. Minney
said:
Il have never seen Chicago as dull as
at present. We speak of our western
cities being quiet, but in proportion be-
neve Chicago is just now even quieter.
One thing is certain, Chicago is not pro-
crossing; it may not be falling back but
it is at least at a standstiu. I believe this
condition due to the Gulf outlet for ex-
port trade. Galveston is hurting Chicago
and it is hurting New York, while it is
benefiting many of the western cities
What's the use of having cities as
large as Chicago and New York? They
are not healthy, and there is more crime
and immortality. If the population of the
country can be scattered and more even
ly divided, SO much the better

Wants Paw.

New York, June 1.-"Baroness'' Blanc

brought by Bartens & Rice, the Fifth

Shortly afterward she paid the firm a
visit and purchased on credit a sapphire
diamond ring valued at $125 and a set
of pearl shirt studs valued at $3.50.
The firm waited a reasonable time for
payment of the bill, but when she eva
ded their collector they placed their
claim in the hands of Lawyers Hatch &,

up the necessary papers three years ago
but found it impossible to serve them
on the Baroness until she recently ar
rived in New York to sing and dance at

WHY GEL CAPTAIN
Sousa Borrowed the Name From the
Yosemite Valley.

The Denver Republican tells the fol-
lowing story of how the opera "El Cap
itan," which will be seen at the Grand
in this city on June 8, came to be pro-
duced:
Ever since the days of the McCaull
Opera company Hopper has been assO-
ciated with Alfred Klein, the diminu-
tive comedian. He was here with Hop
per in Wang and will be remembered
as the Hottentot who had the i'll luck
to be uncOmfOrtably near the big eie-
plant when he was blown up. One
day Alfred told Hopper that he had a
brother Charles who was uncommonly
clever, and who had in his keeping the
outline of comic opera which looked
promising. Hopper tried all sorts. of
ways to elude that hbretto-s1nce he Is
asked to read one twice every "A hours,
and about one a year of the sort COM
monty offered would be fatal.
But little Alfred Klein was persistent,
and then you know it would be ungra-
cious to reject the work of a friends
brother. So Hopper consented at last
to see Charles Klein and his work II
didn't promise we'll at all, because
Charles confessed that he had never
written hbretto and couldn't write
lyric to save his life. Nevertheless
Hopper read the synopsis OF the plot
and the idea. of the double character OF
FL Captain and Medigua fascinated
him After consultation with his man.
ayers he accepted the Hbretto, and the
next day took it down to Manhattan
Beach and threw 1t at Sousa with the
words Here is your nbrettO; now
write me an OPERA Sousa took kindly
to the idea and Eel Captain" grew
apace from the first day the composer
and the librettist- got together. 1t is
seldom that a comic opera as valuable
as 'sFI Captain is found with such lit
tie trouble, comparatively speaking.
It is an interesting fact, too, that the
opera owes its name to an American
origin Some years ago Sousa visited
California to seek rest. When in the
Yosemite valley he was captivated with
the beauties and grandeurs of the
great FL Captain mountain-that great
Shaft of rock piercing high heaven at
a height of 1000 feet. It made a last
ing impression upon the composer, and
so when he and Charles Klein came to
give their quaint composition a name,
Eel Captain" suiting Hoppers giant
Spanish soldier, was suggested and
adopted"

YALE MAY GET THE MONEY
Finds That the Man Who Bequeathed
q Million Dollars to the College
Was Sane.

New Haven, Conn, June Yale had
a representative out in Leroy, N. Y,
looking up the case of William Lamp
son, the deceased millionaire, under
whose will Yale expects to inherit a
million dollars.
Evidence as to the mental condition
of the deceased has been gathered by
the representative of Yale to be used in
the coming will contest, and Yale Off
Gals say this evidence is of a very
strong nature, and shows conclusively
that Lampson was not only of sound
mind, but was well competent to make
an intelligent and just disposition of
his property. Many of the deceased
club and business acquaintance will
tes1fy Tor yale on TINS score, and ale
will make a sharp fight for the million
dollars.
Yale officials regard the talk of
Lampson's relatives as mere buster.

KELLEY IN DENVER.
Gold Cure Discoverer Talks About
Alcoholism.

Denver June DIR. Leslie E. Kelley,
known in all corners of the United States
as the founder of the Kelley institute at
Dwight, Ill. for the treatment of ineb-
rates, stopped in Denver for a few hours
yesterday afternoon, returning from a
trip to the coast. The discoverer of the
gold cure is a fine looking man, rather
elderly in appearance and of excellent
physique. Tail and straight as a Pilgrim
father, with snowy white mustache and
gray hair. For three months DR.. Kelley
has been sOjournfng on the Pacific coast
spending a part of the time at Los An
geles, San Diego and Coronado Beach,
seeking relief from a prolonged attack or
bronchitis. Referring to the local Kelley
institute, DR.. Kelley said that he found
it in most hourishing condition and sue
cessfully carrying out the work for which
it was established.
In the II years that the gold treatment
has been employed in the treatment OF
inebriates, 100000 persons have taken the
cure and of this number. as far as can
be ascertained, "a per cent. have remained
cured.
of all the people that drink said DR..
Kelley, 'eight-tenths of them are ineb-
rates, not from DESIRE but from imita-
ton 1t is here that the great danger lies.
Not in the desire to drink but in that de-
sire to initiate others. This is patent
all through life. We do a great many
things not so much because we wish to
do the particular thing. but because we
wish to initiate what someone else has
done. It is rather remarkable fact and
one that is quite noticeable in study Of
the question, that the children of parents
who have been addicted to the use of
liquors are not usually drunkards, and
mainly for the reason that they have seen
the effects of the disease"

UNDERGROUND TRANSIT.
Plans For the New York Line About
Matured.

New York, June 1T looks now as if
the success of the scheme of underground
rapid transit, as far as construction OF
the road is concerned, is assured.
The commissioners have completed
plans, satisfactory to themselves and to
the engineers. which have been approved
by the board of aldermen, for the con-
struction of the road at an approximate
cost of $50, O00, OOO more than $50. 600 600 less
than the amount required for the plans
presented last year. The only obstacle to
the immediate commencement of the
work of construction is the lack of the
required number of consents of property
owners along the proposed route.

OVERMYER SAYS HA, BA.
Says His Candidacy For the Presi-
dency Is a Fake.

David Overmyer has returned from a
visit tn his old home in Indiana.
A Journal reporter asked him today
whether his boom for president was
growing in proportions. NO" said he,
not that I have heard of. That story
was started about the time I left and I
first heard it in Indiana and by the
time I reached home it ha dwaned." Then
simple.
But I will tell you one thing con-
tinued the Democratic sta tesman. Il
do not expect ever to be president orreach
a high position but if I were president
and did not do something to make
times better than they are now would
resign at once and go fishing"
There is another story in circulation
that friends of Bryan want Overmyer
for vice president.
There is still another that he will be
pushed for the next United States SEN
atorship- 1t seems quite certain that
David Overmyer is bound to land in
some conspicuous place worthy of his
talents before long.
