Died.

Bertha NJ. f. johnson died at the
home Of Mrs. j. r. Snyder, January 81,
1893. aged 20 years, 8 months and 4
days.
She was native OF Eland, Sweden,
where her mother and one brother died
Of consumption.
Believing that health and better ad.
vantages would be afforded her in this
country she came with her only remain
ing brother three and half years ago
and stopped with friends in Brooklyn, N.
Y. the brother coming on to Telluride.
Colo, where an uncle resides. Last
March following q severe cold, Miss
Johnson's friends noticed the beginning
Of that disease, consumption, which ter
minated in her death. They prevailed
upon her to come to this climate but too
late to reap any permanent benefit. Com.
ing in July to Telluride she seemed bet
ter for time, but the altitude being too
high she came down here two months
ago where she fought fos her life hoping
against hope" to the last. She was
member Of the Lutheran church. Her
father is still living in Sweden and her
only brother who was present at her
death is working in the mines near Tellu-
ride. The funeral services occurred
Tuesday from the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Snyder and the burial at the Garnet
cemetery, conducted by Rev. DR.. Work
and attended by number OF our good
citizens who sympathize truly with the
brother in his loneliness and bereave.

The supplements are a fraud. a delusion,

such prosperity supplements, when at
the same time we are unable to collect

the TELLER RESOLUTION.

After hot debate on the Teller resolu
tion in the senate last Friday it was
passed by a vote OF 46 to b. The resoiu-
tion is as follows: That all the bonds
Of the United States issued, or authorized
to be issued under the said acts OF con-
gress hereihbefore recited, are payable
principle and interest, at the option of
the government OF the United States in
silver dollars Of the coinage OF the United
States containing four hundred and
twelve and one half grains of standard
silver. and that to restore to its coinage
such silver coins as a legal tender in
payment Of said bonds, principle and
interest, is not violation of the public
faith nor in derogation Of the rights Of
the public creditor"
All efforts to amend the resolution
were voted down by maiorities ranging
from to 20. Mr.. Lodges gold standard
substitute being defeated by the latter
majority.
The resolution in the house was voted
down by vote of 1S2 to 1872.
The Denver News Washington cor
respondent in commenting upon the
situation, said:
This weeks vote in the senate on the
Teller resolution showed a good old
fashioned silver majority in that body.
The republican senators from the mount
ain states aided in furnishing it, but not SO
much that they desired to see the bonds
made payable in silver, AS through desir-
ing to retain some sort OF standing as
silver men with their constituents. This
action was the result of a conference had
by these gentlemen soon after the resolu-
tion was reported. At this conference it
wasdecided to insist on the consideration
apparent boldness OF the Wolcott- Shoup-
Carter group is, however, only on the
surface. These senators will not carry
their new found association with the
radical silver men to the point Of sup.
porting direct silver legislation or oppos-
ing an administration scheme that has
any prospect Of passing the senate. The
Gage currency plan does not come under
this head for it has never had any chance
Of becoming a law. even il the Carter
Wolcott group had been willing to vote
for it. This weeks alignment against
their republican colleagues is off the
same piece as the momentary affiliation
In 1885, when Wolcott and Carter united
With Tciiur, Cannon, DUBOIS and others
in demanding free coinage rider on the
first Dingley tariff bill. This course was
temporary and soon afterward Wolcott,
Shoup and Carter conveniently deter
mined that they could not consistently
vote for free silver riders to appropria-
tion bills, although it was apparent that
this was the only way any free silver
action by the senate could be made OF
the slightest effect in the Republican
house."

Spanish peace commissioners, to show

graceful invitation TO dine with Horace

I'm reply to the Spanish statement the
American commissioners have declared
that the United States refuse to assume
sovereignty over Cuba but would re-
main in the island to organize normal
order and security before handing II
over TO the authority OF the govern

not be an interregnum OF sovereignty

as such a situation would be simply an
archy.
