hied himself to a prominent attorney
with the request that he should write
him out an address suitable for the oc-
casion. Tie request was readily com
piled with by the lawyer, and in ten
days and nights Mickey" conscien-
tiously studied his part so that when
the time came he would not make a
failure Of It.
On the night in question, after sup
per had been served Mr.. Hubert and his
wife were invited to the rear room
where, spread upon a table, was the set
Of dishes, Numbering nearly 100 pieces.
The auspicious moment had arrived,
and, confident of his ability, as the
stereotyped oration was in his pocket,
Officer Welsh stepped proudly forward,
buttoned up his coat, drew up his man
ly form, smoothed down his hair and
began:
Mr., and Mrs. Hubert ladies and gen
tlemen: l have been selected by my
brother officers, which compliment
highly appreciate with a deep bow and
his hand upon his breast) to present to
our host and hostess this, this this
Oh! d---n il! this!-"
But it was Of no use. The oration
had been forgotten.
Get out your speech. Mickey!
called one of his companions.
Break away!" said another, and like
unknd expressions followed.
Not wishing TO behold his dilemma
the other officers, with bowed head:
and tears in their eyes, silently lef
the room.
After fumbling in every pocket tn,
Typewriter speech was finally pro
duced by Welsh from his hip-pocket
and the ceremonies proceeded. The pa
trolmen later returned and congratu
lated Mickey" on his efforts, but h
swears that he will never make anothe

KEIHJEYs PROSPECTS.

want some real exciting sport they say
10 one another: Lets go up and blow

have royal fun rollicking through the
rich brown hair.
On Friday a man from Scranton came
to Wilmington with the idea Of pur-
chasing Kelley's place. He offered $780,
900, but the bewhiskered boniface re-
fused to consider any offer lower than
$4,000. The visitor left, saying that he
would see him again in a few days. One
Of Kelley's friends and cunning COM
panions who had overheard the conver-
sation, said:
Jack, don't you think he offered you
a good stiff price for the placer"

: COnClaVe Of
! WOn1en'S Clubs !


The most important biennial of the
general federation Of Woman's clubs
yet held will convehe ID Denver, Juoe
p. When the council OF the fedora
ton considered the place of meeting
for the next biennial and the request
Of the 1900 club women Of the CEN
tennial state was granted, the an
nouncement gave new imputus to
club life all over the state, and the
women of Colorado are now looking
forward with eagerness and enthus-
iasm to the coming of this body
OF women, fully determined to make
this event memorable in club history.
No sooner had the question been
settled than the appointments upon
the local board were made, and the
machinery nicely adjusted Mrs. ].
B. Grant was chosen to fill the posi-
ton Of greatest Importance, that
Of the presidency Of the biennial
board. Mrs. Grant is woman of

the North Denver Woman's club and
through her efforts a grand compli-
mentary excursion to Georgetown and
Union Pacific and Denver Gulf roads
will be one Of the never-to-be-for-
gotten events. For so miles this road
winds in and ont, between the tower
ing walls and battlements Of Clear
Creek canon, climbing from AN alti-
tude of 5000 feet to that Of 5000 and
the tourist is at last lost in admira-
ton of that wonderful bit of rail-
reading, the famous Georgetown loop.
Every opportunity will be given the
guests to see the grand scenery of
Colorado.
The entertainment committee, which
consists of Mrs. w G.. Fisher, chair
man, Mrs. c. B. Kountze, Mrs. N.
P. Hill and Mrs. E. G. Stoiber, is not
to be outdone, and there will be
receptions and countless entertain
ments in private houses. Mrs. Fisher
and her assistants are all noted for
their social graces as we'll as for be-
ing the brilliant social leaders OF
Denver, and they will have much to
offer the biennial
At the bureau of information Mrs.
J. L. Mcneil will have every thing
that can add to the health, comfort
and rest of the guests. Here will be
found postoff1ce with mail delivery,
telephones and express conveniences.
Telephone and messenger boys will be
at hand, and a stenographer and type
writer also.
The decorations of auditorium and

great executive ability, and as the
first vice president of the Denver
Woman's club she thoroughly es-
tablished her ability to handle large
body Of women. Socially she is one
Of the most charming women in Den
yer. Tact, grace Of manner and
dignity of carriage characterize her
every movement. AS president of the
LEGAL board, Mrs. Grant will occupy
the most prominent position of any
Denver club woman during the ses-
sion Of the biennial and will fault
lessly execute the many duties fall
ing to her lot. Mrs. Grant is the
daughter of Col. and Mrs. R. E.
Goode1l Of Denver, and a granddaugh-
ter of Gov. Matteson, one of Illinois
early governors.
The local board Of management, in
whose hands is placed the respon-
sibility of arranging for the enter
tainment of the general federation,
consists of two delegates from each
of the six clubs in Denver and an
advisory board. IN the preparations
for the biennial, one OF the young
est clubs in Denver is taking the
lead, but age has little to do with its
numerical sire 9Th, and a thousand
strong it will greet the biennial. 1t
was this club, the Denver Woman's
club, that made it possible to invite
the biennial to Colorado. Mrs. Sarah
S. Platt, who has been the president
OF the Woman's club during the term
Of its eXistance, is still it's president
She is an important member Of the
advisory board, and with her upon
the board are associated Mrs. E. M

dence, Mrs. NJ. D. Thatcher of Pueblo

world than Mrs Ashley. She is
known TO every club woman in Col
orado through having been the
founder and first president OF the
state federation. Mrs. Ashley has
been prominent in Colorado for "a
years, and socially and intellectually
she is a power. Possessed of great
personal beauty there is in her bear
ing and appearance a graceful dis
tinction, and in her personality a
gracious and lovely quality which in
spires affection and admiration. The
president of the state federation, Mrs.
most beautiful woman in Colorado
and is one of the wealthiest. Mrs.
Frank Trumbull, the fourth member
Ct the advisory board, is the dainty
little lady who, single nanoeu.

national board at Washington, thus
securing for Denver the honor of en-
tertaining the biennial.

HEARN'S INITIAL APPEARANCE

.. -; 80 - -
It was a red-hot night for news,
! says writer in the Chicago Times
Herald. One after another all the
star members of the staff had been
sent out on assignments until the
city room was practically vacant A
rough, uncouth, Queer-looking person
sauntered in and asked for a job.
The city editor of the Cincinnati En-
Qulrer told him there was nothing
for him, and turned to answer the
telephone. Over the wire came the
information that evidences of a muir
der had been discovered at the city
gas work. The caller was just shut
fling out of the room when the city
editor hung up the receiver and
called out: wait minutel Go out
to the city gas works and see what's
the matter there. Come back as soon
as you can"
The stranger was back again within
an hour. cts a murder" he said, and
went into the reporters room. A half
hour later, when the city editor en-
tered the room, he found the new re-
porter lying at full length upon the
top Of long table, while the blank
paper was held close to his face be-
cause of an affection of the eyes
which prevented the eyeballs from
turning in their sockets.
Picking up a few of the manu-
scripts, which was beautifully written
and had the fneness of copperplate,
the editor read it carefully, and then
laid his hand gently upon the writer's
head. This instantly elicted a snarl
like that of a wild beast. Its all
right" remarked the editor. Keep
your temper. You may give us all
OF that stuff you can write"
The stranger continued to write I'M
til long after midnight, and his mat
ter filed three columns. It gave all
the details of one Of the most hor-
rible murders in the history of mod
ern crime-the killing Of an official
Of the gas company by an employee,
who dismembered his victims body
and cremated the fragments in
coke furnace.
The description Of the crime had all
the fascination of Edgar Allan Poe's
grewsome tales, and the story of the
''gashouse murder" became q re-
portorial classic. The unknown
who wrote it never had been heard
from before that time, though his
to lovers of American literature. 1t
was the initial appearance in news
paper work Of Lafcadio Hearn.

the Major said he would remain up a
while and walk and asked them to come
