THE BOARD OF CONTROL.

The democratic press and the DEM
ocratic territorial platform, each are
somewhat wrathy in thrir ideas OF re-
ormlny territorial institutions. espe-
cially making target Of the board Of
control, advocating its abolishment at
onc6fby the i.ext Legislature. The
Tucson Star. . democratic paper and
published by Ex-Governor Hughes. q
. democrat, comes to the front in de-
ftnse of the mantainance Of that in
stitution, and hacks up his argument
with the following sentiments;
..Those citizens who believe the
boa. d OF control il not good thing
for the territory and who made a
speciality Of its coLdemnati tion during
the campaign should specifically
state where this board is injurious to
the taxpayer of the territory. Let
them consider the following facts:
The creation OF the board of control
abolished twelve commissioners. three
secretaries and treasurers, as we'll as
some other simeon les, in all not less
than eighteen officials, every one of
which wire recsiving salaries or per
diems and all the commissioners mile
aga, amounting in all to more than
$25. 900 annually. All Of the work Of
these commissioners and their secreta
rits and their subordinates is done b.
the board of control, with two ap :
paint4es. The citizen member Of the
board and the secretaries of the bosrd
an. cunts to a total cost to the territory
not to EXCEED $4,000 annually. The
auditor and governor are salaried oti :
cials and receive no extra compsnsa-.
tion as mru bers of the board.
"lhe objection that has been urged
that the Capitalization OF all thos q
official duties in one board constituted
as it is today gives the governor too
much power. This is not valid OBJ
iccticp. as he exercsed much greater
power under the cd regime than
now, for under the old systs'u he ap
pointed the commissioners of four
distinct boards, also their secretaries
and other subordlnates, every one of
whom was as much under mis- control
and Subject to his removal as the
auditor and the citizen member OF the
hoard. The governor exercised more
power, inasmuch as he formerly ap-
pointed this large array Of officials,
and now but one. the citizen member
of the board, as his auditor is an ex-
otficio member of the board.
"This board Of control can and does
perform every duty these respective
boards performed in not to exceed ten
days in each quarter. The saving to
the territory is not less t::.an $4,000
annually. Again, if there is any
speculation OF dishonesty of any kind
in the management of the territorial
institutions it can more readily be
discovered under the board OF control
than if fifteen or more officials were
responsible"

A CRYING SHAME.
An Atr0ciOus Practice Which Is Calling

Editor Camera:
The people of east Walnut street are
becoming highly incensed over the con.
duct of a number of young hoodlums and
young girls whom il seems are accustom-
ed to congregate about the lawns and

might seem to our virtue loving public,
but is of nightly occurrence and although
the police have frequently been notified

Notwithstanding it is, many times, under
the glare of an electric light. Virtuous
girls returning home listen to language

escorted by gentlemen are many times

The Grand Concert.

A Boulder public rarely has an oppor.
tunity to listen to concert of higher
artistic merit than that given at the
Chautauqua by John Behr last Saturday
evening. The music from the opening
number to the close was enjoyable as
well as artistic. in the superlative de-
gree and reflected only the highest credit
upon the talented leader, Mr.. Behr, who
had the concert in charge. The numbers
by the full orchestra, in selection and
execution, surpassed III brilliancy any
thing of the character yet given here
The choral numbers, by reason of lack
OF bass and tenor, were not so satisfac
tory. The rendition by the young ladies'
showed, however, that they were not
lacking either in ability or finish, and It
is to be hoped that the male voices can
be secured to round out the chorus.
The members Of the Denver Ladies
Musical club quartette rendered few
selections that were heartily enjoye !.
Of the solo numbers too much can not be
said. The piano solo by Madame Behr,
the violin solo by Miss Geneva Waters,
the flute solo by Antonio Maslno and the
vocal solo by Mrs. J. Otis Huff, each was
masterpiece of art and called forth the
llveliest appreciation of the audience.
The concert in short was unexcelled and
well repaid the huge audience present
for its attendance.

MOTHER OF FITZHUGH LEE.
She Was Once a Washington Belle
and Is Still the Idol of Her
IIlustrfOus Family.

Blind and almost helpless as baby,
the mother of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee lives
with her son Daniel, near Fredericks-
burg, Va. Though nearly 80 years old,
she is still bright and cheerful. Sur
rounded by descendants who fairly idol
ize her, she is rapidly nearing the dark
river, fearless and with childlike conf
dence. Her grandfather, George Ma
son, was prominent statesman in the
early days of the republic and took part
in framing the American constitution.
His third son, John, inherited consider
able property in Virginia, including An
alostan island, to which place he
brought lovely Maryland bride, whose
family name was Munay. The young
est child of this couple was Anna Maria,
who was brought up on the outskirts of
Washington In her youth she was
known as beautiful Mamie Mason of
the island" At Arlington she first met
Lieut.. Sydney Smith Lee, United States
navy, brother of Robert E. This meet
ing resulted in courtship and marriage,
Gen. Joseph E. Johnston being one of
the groomsmen. Portraits taken in
those early days show the brideto have
had lovely, piquant face, with rosy
cheeks, brown eyes and clustering
brown curls.
The young couple resided for some
time in Washington, where Mrs. Lees
beauty, wit and vivacity made her the
o5 on1 nf oh
cial circle. At their country home,
Clermont, near Alexandria, on the 10Th
of November, 1885, their eldest son was
born, and named Fitzhugh, after be-
loved friend, Mrs. Fitzhugh, of Raven
worth. Five other sons were born to
them, and all grew to manhood and
were gallantsailors and soldiers during
the civil war. When that struggle COM
menced Capt. Lee resigned from the
navy, and, like his famous brother, Of
fered his sword to his native state Mrs
Lee went with him to Richmond, leav-
ing all her property in the hands of the
enemy. Never throughout these four
years of horror and carnage did Mrs
Lees courage give way, though her hus-
band, sons and many relatives were at
the front. AT the close of hostilities she
returned with her family to a country
place in Stafford county, Va, where her
husband died soon after. Mrs. Lee
spent many years in the quiet dignity of
widowhood at old Richmond, on the
Potomac. When her son, Fitzhugh, be-
came governor of Virginia she made her
home with him in Richmond, and once
more became charm in society. She
was ever keenly interested in the polit-
ical issues of the day, but unfortunately
severe cold settled on her eyes, After
intense suffering, borne with her usual
fortitude, she submitted to a painful
operation which, however, failed to
give relief, and she became totally blind.
