"Standing Room ut Premium. :"

In speaking OF Senator Wolcott's La
Junta meeting the Times-Republican
says:
"a special train of five coaches from
Manzanola and Rocky Ford and the
same from Lamar and Las Animas run
and they were crowded until standing
room IN the aisles was at premium"
The Times-Republican article Is de-
ficient in that it fails to explain why the
car aisles were crowded. The train was
free to all who chose to go and there was
also considerable work done to get the
crowd.

In order to disseminate useful informa-
ton concerning the state of Colorado,
with view Of securing desirable class

building OF the state, the Denver Cham
Der Of Commerce intends issuing for free
distribution to the farmers OF the state n
bulletin on agriculture and horticulture
in Colorado, which may be sent by them
to their former neighbors and friends.
Instead Of giving m array of figures as
to the total production it is proposed to
cite individual cases in each county. CIV
ing name and address and showing the
amount Of given product raised on a
given number OF acres with the net
amount realized from the same. In this
way farmers in other states can compare
results obtained here with the best OBJ
tainable in their vicinity.
In this connection it might be we'll to
state as showing the interest that has
been awakened by the advertising matter
sent out by this chamber, that OF GOO let
tors received at this office during the
year 1893, 400 specifically asked for infor-
nation about the resources of the state.
The readers of the Enterprise can aid
in the good work by preparing statements
OF the amounts OF the various crops they
have raised this season and sending them
to Arthur Williams, Sec, Denver. Tho

I'm discussing the probability Of the

blems the Denver Post says: "That the
emblem is in some instances delusion
and snare for the unwary voter is ex-
emplified in the fact that the Broad

and out for the gold standard, will be
headed on the official ballot by the dove

will, it is predicted, be sufficient
ground for the repeal Of the emblem law"

A TAME GULL CHASE
An Ungrnteful Bird That Escaped From
its Protector.

An Un.rntefuI Bird That Escaped From
its Protector.
I have good cause to remember my
first introduction to a sea-bird. ] was
taking a summers walk on the cliffs,
when | noticed bird, with its wings
outspread to preserve its balance, max
ing It way painfully towards ehelter-
ing bueh. There is nothing to my mind
quite SO piteous as a crippled bird, and
It needed but little compassion and Gu
Tiosity to prompt me to try and do
something for my feathered friend.
But 1t was easier said than done. Ac-
custmoed as all sea-birds are to fly of
screaming their hoarse sea-call Of
warning, it was scarcely to be expect
ed that lame gull would stand still
to be caught.
After long chase, which nearly end
cd in my tulnbling over the cllff-side,
succeeded in catching the bird. Its
thanks 1t expressed by making sundry
lunges at any available part Of my per-
son that happened to be soft. But
think 1t became grateful, for the num-
Der Of fish that gull succeeded in eat
ing during its period Of convalescence
was enough to make fishmonger's
mouth water. Being forced to keep
still owing to it's leg being bound up
In splints, and one of Its wings band
aged, the voracious bird must have re-
garded its injuries much in the same
light that a schoolboy regards a cold.
1t certainly stuffed, morning, noon and
night, eating any fish that was brought
to its temporary prison.
One morning, three weeks after OBJ
tained my patient, took it out for an
airing. Thanks to considerable wash
ing and cleaning the birds feathers
were like the snow for whiteness. and
the large supplies of fish had greatly
increased It's strength. What happen
ed will conclusively prove that gulls
are by no means gulllble. 1t lay so
quiet and cozily in my arms that | re-
laxed my attention, and was actually
thinking Of the best way to begin to
train it to be a civilized bird, when,
without the least warning, the gull
gave me a parting dig with its beak.
At least, that was the first impression
that struck me when l found myself
"gulled." With hop, skip and jump,
that urgrateful bird quickly gut con-
siderable space between us. Talk about
o. wild goose chase! why, tame gull
chase Is infinitely more endless. | fn-
ally landed in a gorse bush half way
down gentle slope that led to the
beach. l am still waiting fer my kind
ness" and the gull to tlutter bacS
again; for does not the poet say
Each kindness show IL to birds or men
Is sure to fiutter back again.

In General Business Conditions Are
Better.
Greatest Pig Iron Production Ever Known
Finished products in Demand.

R. G.. Dun & Co.'S weekly review
of trade for last week says:
Stories Of the most reckless sort,
disproved promptly, and many of them
before they are told, affected specula.
tion in stocks much last week, and at
times, this week.. but they have not
disturbed the industries and the trade
of the country at all.
Ingram, cotton, meat products and
petroleum markets have been strong,
with gradual increase in the demand
for manufactured products.
Failures in February have been
smaller than in any other month, ex-
cept three of the previous fitty-two
months, with remarkable decrease in
the failures for $Ioo,ooo and over,
though in number and amount the
smaller failures show less change than
might have been expected, indicating
that in good times or bad, a large pro-
portion is due to causes apart from
the general condition OF business.
The ratio of defaulted liabilities to
payments through clearing houses is
but $I.71 per $1,000, lower rate
than has appeared IN the first quarter
of any year, except 1880 and 1881,
of the past twenty-three.
The best evidence of general i'm
provement is the fact that payments
through clearing houses for the past
week have been $50 per cent. larger
than in 1902, and outside New York,
with its speculative interests, I7.6 per
cent. Compared with last year the
gain has been 56.2 per cent. for the
week and 4e per cent. for February.
Production of pig iron is the great
est ever known, some furnaces having
started in the past month but Besse-
mer billets are so scarce at Chicago
that some works are embarrassed,
and heavy purchases at Pittsburg
have stiffened the price. Foundry
at the east is slightly lower, basic pig
having been offered in sharp com.
petition at about $40. The demand
for finished products covers work fai
ahead in plates, structural FORMS
sheets and pipe since the advance in
oil and in rails, but bar is weak with
increasing use of steel.
Wheat has grown stronger export:
continuing at rate which threatens
exhaustion of supply.
Failures for the week have beer
a51 in the United States against a4t
last year and thirty-two in Canads
against ffty-nine last year.

COLTS i. Huntington.

Everybody knows how Coils P. Hum
t!ngton became what he is. and what
he was before his rise. His story and
the story OF his three associates, all
dead, Is positively trite. But he has
been powerful and sreat SO long that
nobody remembers him as anything
else. And he looks what he Is. This
calm, bewhiskered. ox-eyed and ner-
GUS face shows thet he has past.
His tall, quick. elastic frame reveals
the strength and health Of an iron con-
stitution. There Is just the slightest
tendency in his head to bend forward
when he walks, but the plain black
gold-headed cane he carries is a habit,
MT necessity. He dresses nearly al
ways in black. His coat Is the lengthy
senatorial frock. His necktie Is the
plain, old-fashioned cravat. In his
shirt is tiny gold stud, and on the
little finger of his left hand is a small
ring. Except this and plain watch
chain, he seems to possess no jewelry.
He Is never shabby, but he is never
fashionable. The most famboyant ar.
tic!e Of attire he ever wears is a seal
trimmed overcoat, likewise black
He appears to have no modieh tastes
Even the marriage of his daughter to q
titled foreigner did not lure him to
social functions. ..--

A Springfield oculist tells cusious
story which illustrates, how the total
destruction of nerve sometimes saves
much pain in an accident. A boy came
into his Office one day and asked him to
remDve some dust that had got into
one of his eyes. The doctor looked at
the organ and was startled to find that
the eyeball was broken in and totally
destroyed. The bo.- said that he had
been walking on the street and wagon
passed close to him. He felt some dust
get into his eye, he said, and not being
able to get 1t out went to the oculist.
The dust did not hurt him, bu he
couldn't see very we'll. The oculist
made a thorough examination Of the
eye and inside the cyeball found the
knot, which had come off the end Of a
whiplash. 1t was found that the driver
of the wagon had cracked long whip
SO that the knot struck the boy in the
eye, imbedding the knot in the ball.
where 1t broke off. The boy at the time
felt no other sensation than what a
speck of dust or ciEder might have
made.-Springfield Republican.

Longs Opinion.
Secretary In Hot Water And May Be
Officially censured.

The excitement at Washington was
Augmented by the statement of Secre-
[fy Long made last week who is
loted in all of the papers to the
feet that Spain could mot be held
sponsible for the Maine disaster.
o severe is the censure that it is pro-
able that a resolution condemning
i'm for indlscretion will be presented
Congress. The diplomatic corps
kere particularly incensed over this
lip, and it has caused them no little
Embarrassment. The Spanish repre-
entatives lost no time making use of
he statement, and cabled it verbatim
o the Madrid authorities. This has
lso added intensity and it is plain
that few more breaks of this kind
would seriously complicate matter.
Secretary Long gave the information
bs his private opinion and that on the
strength of the official statement of
the Spanish authorities. The latter
was to the effect that there was no
mine beneath the Maine. The opln-
ion of Spanish veracity in Washing
ton is not of the highest order, and
for this the Secretary is censured
more than for the apparent indiscre-
tion. Official participation and Off
cial responsibility are regarded as two
different things, and it promises to
becone a tlcklish matter for the Secre-
tary to explain away. Of course the
more violent jingoes are making the
most of it, and thus far they have
succeeded in stirring up hornets
nest.
