Denver, Sept. 27.-There are many
subjects of interest which at present
divide the attention of the people OF
Denver. First and foremost stands the
Carnival, as the Festival of Mountain
and Plain is usually referred to. 1t has
become IL regular Denver institution,
and is looked forward to with great
interest. 1t is welcomed not only OIL
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.
| NIL the stores, recreate in the parks
and have good time generally, which
il 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 as
elaborate scale as 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
VI TIE ETuIu stduu, 50 tuitt there WIl
be no tiresome waits for the parades
The war has furnished great many
subjects for floats In the big parades
this year, and many new features are
expected.
The illuminations 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 tie City park is now
completed, and gives n 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 along, 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 n great deal of attention.
owing to the unfortunate features of
the case. Chaplain Mcintyre, who is IL
| brother of Rev. DIR. Mcintyre, the
| former popular pastor of Trinity
church of Denver, finds himself In his
present unpleasant predicament as the
Indirect result of trying to help the Y.
NJ. c. A. of this city. He consented to
| give his now famous lecture after ur-
| gent solicitation and received no re-
muneration for it. That he east indis-
Greet and uncharitable reflections upon
Admiral Sampson and Captain Evans
there can be no doubt, in view of the
statements of those who heard him
His i'll health and natural pride in the
splendid achievements of the Oregon
are hardly adequate excuses for such
expressions on the part of a minister
and naval officer.
Preparations are 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 Il moral awakening there
can be no doubt While 1t is perhaps
no worse than it has been, there is
room for great improvement.
A demonstration out of the ordin-
ary occurred last Saturday, when
5000 Sunday school children pnraded
through the streets, with music and
banners, and were reviewed at the
park by the local officials. 1t was II
beautiful and suggestive spectacle.
The relation between Sunday schools
and bogus butter may not at first be
| apparent, but q little reflection may
suggest the idea that the men who are
now under arrest for swindling the
people into buying oleomargarine
| would not be in trouble If they had
attended Sunday school faithfully in
their youth. Dairy Commissioner Can
non finds that large amounts Of bull
butter" are shipped in and sold as pure
butter. If any one wants to buy and
eat oleOmargarine he has Il right to do
SO, but 1t is an outrage to have the
stun sold as pure butter. 1t is to be
hoped that Mr.. Cannon will succeed in
checking the traffic that has grown to
great proportions during the past few
years.
Despite the fact that Denver has
many fine school buildings, they are
insufficient to accommodate all the
children who wish to attend. On the
| West Side there are over 800 who are
only given half days schooling, as it
Ia 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 being enlarged or increased in
number. The school board of the West
Side at its last meeting refused to add
teacher of gymnastics to the regular
teaching corps on the ground that the
children already had enough to occupy
their time.
The hall of the West Side High
school Is to have hung in 1t, in huge
frame, the portrait of every boy who
ever attended West Side school, and
who afterward entered the military
service of the United States in the war
with Spain.
