The telegraphic reports from day to day
have told of the exercises attendant upon
the unveiling of the monuments erected
in the capital of the Confederacy TO
President Jefferson Davis and Winnie
Davis. 1.-THE Daughter of the Confed-

the addresses eloquent. but no written
account can give your readers any idea
of the spirit OF the occasion. There
were gathered quite a number of the
leaders of the Confederacy, particularly
from this State. The presence of the
representative leaders or the Daughters
of the Confederacy was inspiring, for
they brought the same loyal affection
that characterized the women of the
South during the days Of privation be-

THE SCULPTOR AND HIS WORK.

Mr.. Zolnay, who was seen at the JEFF
ferson after the unyeiling ceremonies,
said to a Dispatch reporter that while
he did not regard the monument erect
ed to Miss Davis as his masterpiece, he
had put more feeling and sentiment into
the work ON this monument than any
other 1T is work Of love. he said:
Il knew Miss Davis so we'll and had
SO high a regard for her; then. too. the
people of the South are SO kind and hos
pitahle. Many people have asked me
this evening if this has not been proud
day for me. | tell them all that it has
not inspired me with pride, but with
joy, because every one is satisfied.

and It's great cause. it reminds me OF
my own ancestors, who espoused a SINH

Gen. Fitzhugh Lee paid a beautiful
tribute to Miss Winnie Davis and her
mother, saying in part:
MY friends, this is an unusual scene.
Larger monumental shafts have reared
their heads 10 Heaven in commemora-
tion of the names and fame of great
warriors and great statesmen. Marble
monuments have been erected in honor
of great poets 10y the people of our Land.

foe soon had ST 600 on hand, and designs
for n monument to cost that amount
were asked for. Many designs were
submitted but the New York Camp OF
Confederate Veterans desired particu-
larly design by Mr.. George Jullan
Zolnay. the well-known New York sculp-
tor. The price of this was $4,000, but
the sculptor's friendship for the Davis
family caused him to reduce the amount
to S1G50. which included the Sl,O0O
raised by the women and 5000 given 10y
the New York veterans.

CATS IN COLD STORAGE.
SIX Months in Low Temperature
Completely Changed Their
Capillary Appearance.


The effect of cold upon the capillary
properties Of certain animals was strik-
ingly illustrated in New York some
time ago A warehouse man in Jane
street was annoyed by the ravages Of
hordes OF mice. lie had little trouble
in the main part of his building, where
a couple Of well-trained cats kept the
place tolerably free from the pests. but
in the cold-storage portion the mice
held full sway They nibbled into pack-
ages and boxes, and destroyed such
quantities of fruits that heroic meas
ures we're necessary. 1t seemed rather
a cruel experiment, but the nuisance
bFcame so unbearable that he decided
at last to install a cat in the cold-stor-
age warehouse. Provision TO a certain
extent was made for her comfort and
she was left 10 her own devices and the
mice.
Pussy seemed to flourish, notwith-
standing the cold, and in the course of
about a week became the mother of a
fine litter of six kittens After a time
three of the latter were removed, but
the old cat and her remaining progeny
were left in their arctic quarters.
When allowed out it was noticed that
she grew weak and listless. She tot
tered about in an aimless way, as
though all energy and interest in life
were lost. AS soon, however. as she
was returned to her cold quarters she
recovered her vigor and became as
bright and active as usual
A curious feature was soon observed
in the kittens. They grew to an i'm
mense size, their coats became long and
shaggy and the fur much coarser than
that of an ordinary cat; it had also a
peculiar tendency so curl. The feelers,
or whiskers, too, grew to nearly double
the length, so that when they were
placed beside the members of their
own immediate family the difference
was so marked that they might have
easily passed for an entirely different
breed.
The change took place within three
months, giving curious example of
how suddenly and completely nature
will adapt itself to the exigenoies of
climate with the young.

Odd Manner BY Which One woman

1t seems q very strange fact that,

should be able to make an excellent
income teaching people how to write

has more to do sometimes than She

THE DOGS AND THE DOOR.
Story That Seems to Prove That Ami
mails Possess Reason.

AANAS SOSNSS NNNoNA
Two ofmy favorite dogs IcalledJack
and Cuffy. Jack was great black st.
Bernard, weighing nearly 2O0pounds.
Cuffy was pure Newfoundland, with
very black curly hair These two
dogs were the gift of the late SEN
ator Stanford. They were welcome
in every room. Our doors were fur
nished with the ordinary thumb
latcbes. These latches at first both
cred both dogs. Ali that was needed
on our part was to show them how
they worked, and from that day ON
for years they both entered the rooms
as they desired without any trouble,
fthe doors opened from them. There
was a decided difference, however, in
opening a door if it opened toward
them. Culfy was never able to do it,.
With Jack it was about as easily done
as it was by the Indian servant girl.
Quickly and deftly would he shove.
up the exposed latch and the curved
part of the thumb piece and draw it
toward him. If the door did not easily
open, the claws in the other fore feet
speedily and cleverly did the work
The favorite resting place Of these
two magnificent dogs was ON some fur
rugs on my study floor. Several
times have we witnessed the following
action in Cuhy, who was of much
more restless temperament than Jack:
When she wanted to leave the study
she would invariably first go to the
door and try it. If it were in the
slightest degree ajar she could easily
draw it toward her and thus open it.
If, ON the contrary, it were latchod,
she would at once march over to
Jack, and, taking Kim by an ear with
her teeth, would lead him over to the
door, which he at once opened for her,
If reason is that power by which we
care enabled to combine means for
the attainment of particular ends"

SUPPRESSED THE TRUTH
Judge Parker Granted the Motion for
Acquittal With Extreme Reluct-
ance-Too Much Evidence
of Crooked Work.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Boulder, April 20.--Very short work
was made of the seven gambling cases
set for trial at this term of court. The
first one on the docket was that of the
state VS.. Peter F. Riley, who was
charged by indictment of the grand
jury with running gambling game at
his place in Basin, commonly called
stud poker. T. Hopkins was the first
witness called and testified as to Rileys
having the use and control of the build
ing in which the game was carried on.
other witnesses were Scott, Savage,
Sprott, Laravie and Loiselle. They all
showed great unwillingness in giving
their testimony, and some of them
feigned ignorance Of the nature Of the
game mentioned in the indictment, but
when pressed by the county attorney
admitted having played the game for
money in Riley's place. AS to who was
running the game and who took the
rake-off there was one point on which
they all seemed to agree-that it wasn't
Riley they never bought their chips
from Riley and never cashed any of
them over his bar. The games were
run principally by a mysterious man
called Ole; they didn't know his other
name and didn't know what had be-
come of him. This testimony was quite
different from that some of them gave
before the grand jury, but they stuck
to it. AT the close of the states case
defendants attorneys moved that the
judge instruct the jury to bring in
verdict acquitting the defendant on the
ground that the testimony had entirely
failed to substantiate the charges made
in the indictment. Judge Parker
granted the motion, and so instructed
the jury, but stated that he did so with
great reluctance. as it was clear him
after hearing the testimony that there
had been crooked work; that witnesses
were trying to suppress the facts; that
they were not telling the truth; that he
believed the county attorney had done
the best he could in the matter, but
that there was such a concerted action
on the part of witnesses to suppress the
truth that it was a travesty on justice.
1t being apparent from the result of
this case that conviction could not be
obtained in the other cases against
Jones. Crisler, Lenning, Logan, Leslie
and Lake, the county attorney moved
that they be dismissed. which was done
and defendants discharged and bonds
men released.
Thus the work of the grand jury has
come to naught as far as practical re-
against gambling have not been sub
stantiated; their accusation against
County Commissioner Smith resulted in
his acquittal, and their statement that
liquor was being sold to minors by sa-
loon keepers in Boulder has never been
heard of since.
The trial of Frank Carson for the
murder of Henry Dahlman will tbe re-
sumed in district court Friday morning
at o'clock. 1t will probably take all
of the forenoon session to procure the
remaining juror required.

in it's issue this week will say:
when it was announced some time ago
that the American Steel and Wire COM
pany had secured control of five modern
steel freighters of the Zenith Transit COM
pany, or Wolvin fleet, no reference was
made to James J. Hill of the Great North
ern in the deal. 1t was known that Mr..
Hill had been and is still figuring with A.
b. Wolvin to take up the establishment of
a line of steamers on the Pacific between
Puget sourd and the Orient, but it has
only lately been learned that he is also
in close relations with the American Steel
and VIE company, and was not only in
stige.ive in having the Wolvin fleet go to
that interest, but will probably soon stand
in the same relation to the American
Steel and Wire company that John D.
Rockefeller holds with the Carnegie COM
pany. In other words. Mr. Hill, or the
Great Northern company. seems to have
Joined hands with the steel and wiro COM
bination in the work of developing rail-
way. iron, mining and dock interests in

that before another year has passed the
American Steel and Wire company will

with the Great Northern position SINH
