An Obstinate Prisoner Sent to jail.

Newfane Jail received another recruit
Tuesday night in James Gushing, who
was imprisoned for his obstinacy. Cush-
ing has been employed as a hod carrier on
j. G. Ullery's block, and he has been
boarding at Mrs. Phillips's in tenement
on Washington street. He went to his
boarding place drunk Sunday and got into
general rumpus. He was ordered away,
but he returned at dusk and renewed the
fracas. On Monday morning Policeman
Bailey, in response to complaint, arrest
ed Cushing and put him in the lookup.
A hearing was set for Monday night, but
at that time Gushing was deemed unfit to
appear in court. On Tuesday morning he
was arraigned before Justice w. S. New
ton on the charge of intoxication. He
pleaded not guilty. States Attorney Bar
Der easily drew from his witnesses proof
of the prisoners guilt, and the prisoner
offered no testimony to disprove their
statements, but stated simply that he was
not drunk. The court adjudged the pris-
oner guilty and imposed fine of S. and
costs. Cushing made no effort to pay the
fine, and he was given an alternative SEN
tence of 20 days in jail. He refused to
make disclosure as to where he obtained
his liquor, for which reason he was SEN
fenced to imprisonment in Newfane until
he will make a satisfactory disclosure.

Five Boys Who Did Not Attend the
show.

There were five boys in particular who
did not attend the performance by Santan-
ELI, the hypnotist, at Brookside Park
Tuesday evening. These five boys on
Monday discovered a pile of castings of
iron and brass in the rear of the S. A.
Smith company plant, and Immediately
they were possessed of the mental vision Of
the price of admission to Santanelli's show
They procured some stones, with which
they knocked the brass from the iron.
Then they gathered up the brass, about 25
pounds, and worth four cents a pound,
and carried it to p. Fleming's store, where
they offered it for sale. After inquiring of
the boys as to where they secured their
ware Mr.. Fleming told them that they
might leave IL and return the next day af-
ter their pay. The boys went back as dl-
rected, but this time they were met by the
owner of the brass who asked for an ex-
PLANTATION. The boys said they thought it
was waste. Sheriff Gordon appeared lit
tie later and gave the boys an opportunity
to settle for 81 apiece, which they did on
the following day.

Prosperity in Denver.

A correspondent Of the Washington

Colorado, says:
Denver's wonderful property since
the:penic has made her bold indeed for
she Is now seriously agitating the ques-
ton Of removing the national capital
hither. She doesn't 60 quite so far as
to urge pulling down. packing up and
moving the stone. timber and treasures
Of the present buildings in Washington
here, but her'people and newspapers are
advocating the erection Of big national
capitol here independent Of the other,
which is to be used sometimes, some
how or somewhat in some manner, not
Just made clear by the advocates.
Former Vice President A. E. Stevenson
was interviewed on the subject last
week for Danver paper. and notwith-
standing the fact that the honest old
gentleman was a guest Of the city, he
came out. seriously but positively, in
opposition to the scheme. His replies
TO the eager questions put TO him. If
read on and between the lines both,
could be properly summed up in the
word "preposterous. With the least
encouragement the residents of this city
would start crusade from ocean to

scheme. They seem to think that Den

Athens to which all roads in the United
States must run. l believe nearly
every body in the city would be willing
TO contribute certain amount Of his
income yearly for her municipal ag
grsndizement. Everybody wants to do
slime thing for Denver.
A former resident of Denver got rich
very suddenly by lucky strike, and
wishing by some means TO perpetuate
his namo and fame, erected fine public
building here and employed celebrated
portrait artists to decorate the interior
with pictures Of famous men. After
many days Of labor the painters finish
cd their work and invited the bene-
factor TO inspect 1t. He inquired and
was told the names Of the great men
represented by the portraits. This one
was Napoleon. that one Byron. and so
on. When he came to Shakespeare,
whose image occupied the most promi.
nent position in the building. he ask.
ed.
who is that?"
THAT is Shakespeare. "responed the
artist, beaming with pride.
He looked at it moment, then turned
TO the artist, saying.
"Out him out and paint my picture
In thar. He amt never done nothin'
for Denver"

There is within our midst
A lady, breathing, smiling
She 10 winsome. as rare as
Moss in winter blooming
Her dark eyes scintillate
With humor bright and gay,
Which charms and cheers and COM

The pilgrim on his way.
Within a kingly court,
She could grace it with the best,
While near the couch Of anguish,
She brings the weary rest.
There's no distinction made
Twixt the rich, unfortunate poor
All are welcome, kindly received,
When they enter her charmed door
As q wife, well she fills
With unremitting care her part,
Brayely lifting oil the ills
That bow the human heart.
Ali who can ever tell
Her rev renee to her mother:
The love and tender manner
To sisters, each brother?
When dread disaster deals
Its dead ming blows OF strife.
Her smiles and radiance bring
New hope and wax ming life.
Her faults ! do not know,
So small they are comparing.
Hidden by q shining veil
OF virtues endearing.
Ny pen cannot describe
Her, thank God. there are some such
Upon this world Of erring,
