IMMIGRANTS
FOR COLORADO,
Cehtenntal State HAS Many Advantages No
Shared by Others.

cehtenniai State HAS Many Advantages MOI
Shared BY others.
II. B. Davis, a Denver man, has
returned from Chicago, where he
says immigration agents who have
been sending farmers from the
more thickly settled parts oe the
country to the west, are now
enthusiastically talking Colorado
as the most promising field for the
farmer in the entire country. He
says:
"The advantage of Colorado is
the steady market for farm pro-
duce which is presented in the
mines and the absence of keen
competition such as is felt in great
farm sections of the valley of the
Mississippi. The climate Of this
state is n strong card, and the
effect of artificial irrigation is
something that eastern farmers
regard with astonishment. All
the agencies engaged in the immi-
grafton business are looking for a
stronger movement into the val-
leys of this state than has been
known since the exciting period
previous to 1890. The class of
farmers who are turning their eyes
this way are able to pay for the
land and understand their work. "
Mr.. Davis almost arrived at the
conclusion q year ago that the
valley of the South Platte was
settled as thickly as would be
convenient, but the experience of
the year has changed his mind.
He is now of the opinion that the
valley is capable of supporting
10, 900 families in addition to
those already on the ground.

GOV. TAYLOR'S
ADDRESS,

VI all the pictures that have
been drawn of Uncle Sam from ths
mind of great men, none will
equal the one which has CONF
from the lips of Governor Taylol
OF Tennessee. In presenting a flag
to the Fourth Tennessee regiment
at Knoxville recently he said:
'Ihe most striking and pictur.
esque figure in all history is the
picture of lean and sinewy old
man with long hair and chin
whiskers and wearing an old fash.
ioned plug hat. His pantaloons
are in stripes Of red aud white and
his blue swallow tail coat is be.
spangled with stars. He is the
personifcation of the United States
and we call him Uncle Sam.
"lIe is the composite of the
wild cat and the cooling dove-the
lion and the lamb, and the sum-
mer evenings last sigh that shuts
in the rose. He is the embodi>
ment of all that is most terrible.
The world stands appalled, at his
wonderful power, and bows in
admiration to his matchless mag.
namnimity.
"Hc is the tallest individual on
this mundane sphere, and when he
steps across the continent and sits
down on Pixies Peak and snorts in
his handkerchief of red, white and
blue, the earth quakes and the
monarchs trembIe on their thrones.
From the peaceful walks of life he
can mobilize a mighty army in &C
days, and in ninety days he can
destroy an empire.
'He is boss of the Western
Hemisphere, sheriff of Cuba,
justice of the peace of Porto Rico
and the guardian adj libitum of the
Philippines. He is as brave as
Ceasar and as meek as Moses.
"He is as fierce as tiger and
as cool as a cucumber. He wears
the tail feathers of the eagles of
France in his hat and the scalp of
Mexico in his belt. He laughs at
the roar of the Russian bear, and
is always ready for German
schooner of-beer. All that is
left of Spain is her 'honah,' since
her combat with Uncle Sam. No
longer the lion of England roars
at our door, but the twain now
stand together for liberty and
humanity.
"Officers and soldiers of the
Fourth Tennessee volunteers, you
are now part of Uncle Sam, and
in the name of seventy millions of
his nephews and neices and espec-
tally in the name of his favorite
kinfolks in this beautiful city, |
present you this flag. Behold its
beautiful colors! The rcd-lipped
girls of Tennessee have kissed it,
and 10! these crimson stripes.
They have pressed it 10 their in
nocent heartsf and 10! the stripes
of snow. Poor mothers and wives
and sisters and sweethearts have
looked upon it with their prayers
and blessings, and 10! this azure
field of radiant stars, the symbol
Of hope and love, the tokens of
truth and loyalty. Take these
colors from these loving
hands, and God bless you."

The stock Market.

New York, Dec 1.-The market was strong throughout except for the slight easing off about midday, but to- wards the close developed aggressive strength and left off at generally high CT prices. At the opening there was sympathetic strength with London, where the Americans were the feature, notably Norfolk and Western pref, which was largely purchased on inti- nation that the dividend rate might be increased. Norfolk and Western pref. was conspicuous also in the local deal ings in both activity and strength on the company's supposed dividend pros- poets. There seemed to be but little floating supply of this stock for the time being and prices advanced 2A. On moderate purchases by London and commission houses standard stocks and the internationals were firm the great CT part of the day and advanced with the rest of the list toward the close The high priced specialties, including Tobacco, Sugar and Peoples Gas, show ed a decided upward tendency. Metro politan Traction was cratic, but gained fractionally. The Pacifics were less prominent than of late, C., C., c. and St. Louis rehecting increased earnings, ad- vanced moderately. Consolidated Gas jumped five points in the late dealings and imparted good tone to the rest of the list. The stock previously had lost 11a points. The recent prominence in the bituminous coal shares in the mark ct is largely attributable to current ru- mors about impending favorable devel- opments in the trade The demand for Norfolk and Western pref. was to a considerable extent responsible for the circulation of this report.
 The bond market presented many new features of interest to-day. Nor folk and Western consol As loomed to the front with an improvement of 2 points on exceptionally heavy trading. Speculation generally was quite strong in tone with the per cent. mortgages of various properties absorbing the great bulk of the dealings. Total sales $5,500,000.

4 SAD CASE.
Whole Family From Maine Taken to
 Almshouse

" "heAe paiulty ffrm Motne Iuken 10
 Almshouse
 An interesting case of destitution and assertion was recently brough to the attention of the superintendent of asso- ciated charities, o. s. Preston. The story as learned by MT Preston and Clerk Rowe is as follows: John J. Welch, one armed veteran, about fifty-six years old and a veteran of Maine came to this city in October and soon after sent for his wife and fami- ly of six young children to come here from Maine. They came and Welch rented tenement at 26 Bond street, and put in about $75 worth of furni- ture and with this and household things brought by Mrs. Welch from Maine quite pleasant home was established. About week after the arrival of his wife, on November 8, Welch skipped out, taking with him boy aged ten years, and leaving the other five chil- dren aged, fourteen, thirteen, six, three and one year, respectively, with Mrs.
 Welch. He also left her about $50 in
 money. Welch himself is a pensioner, receiving $10S quarterly. Mrs. Welch heard nothing from her departed hus-
 band for some time, and was advised to return to Maine, but as the rent on the Bond street tenement has been paid till
 January, and Mrs. Welch secured two boarders and work for the eldest girl, she thought that she would stay the winter out in New Haven Sometime l; and was attended by Dr. Lambert It was at this time that Superintendent Preston and Clerk Rowe made visit to her home on Bond street. They found her very weak with high fever evidently the result in large part of a letter received from her husband in Lewiston, Me, in which he informed her that he was about to apply for a divorce on scriptural grounds. Mrs. Welch is bright and rather pre-
 possessing woman, and the children are all smart and pretty. Mrs. Welch said she was willing to go anywhere if only she could take her children with her. Of course the only place where the whole family could be cared for togeth- CT was the alnshouse, and the ambu- | lance was consequently sent and the entire family taken there. The ex- penses of their maintenance will of course be borne by the state, they not having lived in New Haven long enough | to obtain a residence here. It is prob l able that as soon as Mrs. Welch recov-
 CTS the family will be returned to Maine, in which state is their legal res- 1 idence. On the face it appears as l though Welch brought his family here for the express purpose of getting them out of tine way in Maine, so that he
 could secure a divorce in that state. l Mrs. Welch before coming here had quite pleasant home in Lewiston and | had made provision for the support of | her family this winter.

WORK AMONG THE MINERS.
Interesting Address Made by Mrs. West
 at Christ Church.


 Some time ago Mrs. West, wife of Archdeacon West of South Dakota, de- liyered an address in this city regard ing the work conducted by her husband among the miners of South Dakota, which was so interesting that she was invited by the rector of Christ Epis- copal church, the Rev. l.. Brinley Nor gan. to speak to the ladies of his parish, and she did so yesterday afternoon. The meeting was in the vestry of the church and we'll attended. Mrs. West traced her husbands life and his work among the poor miners. He went to Dakota over fifteen years ago and became so interested in the condition of the min CTS that he resolved to devote his life in their behalf In that time he has succeeded in having five churches erect ed. In one in which he breaches there are over a thousand men every Sun day. In the basement of the church are given various entertainments which serve to keep the men interested in their work.
 The whole talk was much enjoyed, being full of instances which have hap pened in connection with the work.
