 A Panorama of the American Reyolu-
 tion-Mr. Ellsworths Lecture To-
 Morrow Night.
 A delightful lecture will be that at Colonial hall tomorrow evening by William w. Ellsworth, under the aus pices of the ladies' committee of the Historical society. It will be superbly Illustrated by 16O stereopticon views including recent photographs of the ra- nous battle grounds, historic houses and monuments, with reproductions ot rare prints from the choicest collection of American battle scenes, proclama- tions, current newspaper reports or battles, manuscripts, portraits, etc.
 MT. Ellsworth, whose lectures on Egypt and the Mediterranean have been delivered before large and deeply interested audiences, has prepared lecture for the present season which IS of the widest popular and historical interest. It is the story of the Amer ican revolution, told in condensed and chronological form, beginning with the I first meetings in Faneuil hall, and end / ing with the surrender at Yorktown, illustrated with photographic views or all the famous battle grounds as they are to-day, and with reproductions or old prints of the same battles and other historical memoranda, bringing most vividly to the minds of his audience the stirring scenes of the great struggle for l liberty.
 The lecture is based on the most au- IL, fa4A ,,I fc ened by anecdotes and incidents The photographs are the result of journey 1 made by MT. Ellsworth, with a camera, I to the battle fields; and the old prints and rare manuscripts which accom- pany them have been selected as the most interesting of the thousands Of | treasures contained in the Lenox li- | brary of New York, and in other great collections.
 1 The field covered includes Valley Forge, the scene of Washington s crossing the Delaware, etc, as we'll as Lexington, Concord, Bunker Hill. Long Island, Harlem Heights, Fort Washing | ton, Trenton, Princeton, Oriskany, Ben- nington, Saratoga, Brandywine, Ger mantown, Monmouth the most impor- tant of the southern fields, Yorktown. All who are interested in the study of l American history can hardly afford to miss the opportunity of having brought | before them this brilliant panorama of | the Revolution. Young people will learn more from it than by years study of history and the historical rec ollections of those who are familiar | with the events of the war will be
 quickened by MT. Ellsworth's graphic presentation of the story and its won- derful illustrations.f

There 10 promise throughout southern
Colorado OF a bountiful harvest this
year. The mines are turning out more
satisfactorily than ever before. The
yield OF the gold lodes will result in an
aggregate product that will nearly. il
not quite. double the output Of 1897.
More silver mines are operating this
year than for several years. owing to the
improved appliances for saving sll the
values, and modified cost OF production
md reduction. Appreciated value 10
cattle, horses aud wool have given q
fresh impetus to the stock growing
industry. Advanced prices have afford.
ed opportunity to turn the surplus
accumulation OF recent years into
money aud stockgrowers are encouraged
and posse .seI OF fresh zeal and energy.
The ranchmen throughout the valleys
wear smile OF satisfaction as they
contemplate their fields OF hay. grain,
fruit and vegetables. and estim ,te the
profits that the prolific will bring to
them. There IL nowhere head the c1m- =
paint OF hard times. There is work for
all. In the farming regions there is an
unsatistied demand for labor and in the
mining camps those who want employ
inent need not be idle. Everything
indicates that when the balance sheet
for 1888 is made up on December 3lst it
will show that the year has been one OF
unparalleled pr prosperity.-Telluride Jour
