Denver. Sept. 27.-There are many
subjects Of interest which nt present
divide the attention Of the people Of
Denver. First and foremost stands the
and Plain is usually referred to. 1t has
and 10 looked forward to with great
interest. 1t IL welcomed not only on
account of the entertainment of the
Carnival itself, but for the sake of
the big crowds that come outside the
city. The visitors swarm the streets,
I'LL the stores, recreate In the parks
and have good time generally, which
Is pleasant to behold. The big crowds
expected next week will be well re-
paid for their journey to the city. for
the Carnival will be carried out on Is
elaborate scale az In former years. All
the seats In the immense grand stand.
erected at the corner of COlfax and
Broadway have been sold. and another
is to be put up to supply the demand.
The management has arranged to
have continuous performance in front
Of the grand stand, no that there will
he no tiresome waits for the parades.
The war has furnished a great many
subjects for floats In the big parades
this year, and many new features are
expected.
The iliuminations for this year will
be more elaborate than heretofore. Not
only will Sixteenth street be turned
into day by thousands OF electric
lamps, but other streets will be beau
tifully lighted.
The paving of Colfax avenue from
Broadway to ...c City park is now
completed, and gives a beautiful drive
over the hill past the capitol to the
park. where many of the features of
carnival week are to be seen. People
from out Of town who have bicycles
will do well TO bring them nlong, so
that they may be more Independent of
the street cars. which will have all the
traffic that they can handle.
The trial of Chaplain Mcintyre Is
attracting great deal OF attention.
owing to the unfortunate features OF
the case. Chaplain Mcintyre, who is II
brother OF Rev. DIR. Mcintyre, the
=" AsSA boi'uAuk lNStUT VI ATlullS
church of Denver, finds himself In his
present unpleasant predicament as the
indirect result Of trying to help the Y.
N. q. A. of this city. He consented to
give his now famous lecture after ur-
gent solicitation aud received no re-
muneratiOn for IT, That he cast ind,s-
erect and uncharitable reflections upon

His Ill health and natural pride in the
splendid achievements OF the Oregon
are hardly adequate excuses for such
expressions on the part OF minister
and n naval officer.
Preparations nre being made for the
coming in October of Mr.. Moody. A
large chorus choir Is being trained to
assist In the services, and the Chris
tian people OF the city look forward
to the two weeks revival. That Den
yer needs a moral awakening there
can bc no doubt. While 1t is perhaps
no worse than 1t has been. there is
room for great Improvement.
A demonstration out of the or,iin-
ary occurred last Saturday, when
5000 Sunday school children paraded
through the streets. with music and
banners. and were reviewed at the
park by the local officials. II was u
beautiful and suggestive spectacle.
The relation between Sunday schools
and bogus butter may not at first be
apparent, but 4 little reflection may
suggest the Idea that the men who are
now under arrest for swindiing the
people Into buying oleomargnrine

attended Sunday school faithfully In

checking the traffic that has grown 70
great proportions during the past few
years.
Despite the fact that Denver hnx
many ane school buildings. they are
insufficient to accommodate all the
children who wish to attend. On the
West Side there arc over 800 who are
only given half days schooling. ax II
is necessary to have two sets OF pupils
divide the day BY the alternating"
system. The same condition prevails
In East Denver. though the buildings
are belng enlarged Or Increased In

Side at its last meeting refused 10 adj!
