lion oft makes the party. Lead
vile Herald-Democrat.

THE old Kearsarge was launched
at Portsmouth, n. H., in 1861, and
took her name from mountain in
that state. 1t is almost startling
to compare her with her namesake
OF today. The first Kearsarge was
of l03l tons, the battle-ship's dis
placement is lI.525 tons. The first
Koarsarge's engines developed 800
horse power, her leviathan success
or's engines are designed to devel-
op not less than 10000 horse-pow-
er. The old ship was but pyg-
my in contrast with the new; but
she gave glory to name which
will be perpetuated in our navy.

Velocity of the Wind.

The great hurric me which did
such destruction to Porto Rico has
furnished remarkable records of
velocity says the Scientific Ameri-
can. Recent advices from the
weather bureau station at Hatteras
contain some very startling figures,
and prove that if we are to regis.
ter the highest possible velocities
of the wind, our automatic ap-
paratus will have to be strengthen
ed accordingly. The greatest We
locity occurred shortly after noon,
the 18th of August, when records
we're made which prove this hur-
rcahe to have been the most Sc
we're within the past seventy-fve
years.
1t seems on the morning of Au-
gust l6, easterly gales were expe-
rienced at Hatteras in which the
velocity of the wind ranged from
thirty-siX to fifty miles an hour
At four O'Clock of the morning of
the 18th the wind was blowing
seventy miles an hour, and at one
O'Clock p. m, it was ninety three
miles an hour, with extreme V loci
ties of from 100 to 40 miles an
hour. At this time the anemome-
ter cups we're blown away; but the
report states that. the wind proba-
bly, reached an even greater force
from 3 p. IN. to Z p. m. of that day.
The highest velocity previously
reported at the station was eighty
miles an hour; this was in April,
1889 The air pressure reached
1852 inches at eight p, M, and
this is the lowest ever recorded on
the middle Atlantic coast.

GRAND LODGE
SESSIONS CLOSED.
Ralph Talbot Company No. IL,
Denver, Wins Drill Prize.
GRAND CHANCELLOR RESIGNS

The work of the Grand Lodge
K. of P. is finally finished. The
last session ended at twelve o'clock,
midnight, after a long evenings
worF.
Yesterday afternoon the stand
ing committees were appointed by
the Grand Chancellor and con-
firmed by the lodge, and other
matters of importance considered.
1t was decided to submit to the
subordinate lodges the proposition
of abolishing the compulsory sick
benefit, and let their vote govern
the action of the Grand Lodge at
its next meeting.
AT three O'clock a recess Of one
hour was taken to enable the mem
bers of the Grand Lodge to see the
prize drill, which occurred at the
corner of Santa Fe avenue and
Second street Only two compan-
les entered the contest, the Ralph
Talbot No. II, of Denver, and the
Queen City No 8, also of Denver.
The work of both companies was
enthusiastically applauded and to
one not versed in military affairs
it was difficult to tell who was the
winner The judges, however,
awarded first prize, $500, to Ralph
Talbot company.
In the evening the Grand Lodge
again went into session, when a
decided sensation occurred. The
newly elected Grand Chancellor,
Harry Jackson, resigned his office
and asked that his successor be
elected The fact that many rep
resentatives, thinking the work of
Importance had all been COM
pleted, had already left town, made
the matter all the more serious.
An election followed, however,
whicn resulted in the choice of
james MacKeon, the newly
elected Grand Vice Chancellor.
And 10 fill the vancancy caused by
this election, A. T. Samson, of
Mancos, was elected Grand Vice.
Mr.. Jackson gave as reason
for his resignation the fact that
he had just received a message ad-
vising him that it would be neces-
sary for him to spend large part
of the year in Europe on business
matters.
AT twelve O'Clock the Grand
Lodge adjourned to meet in Ouray
on the second Tuesday of August,
1900.

IMPERIALISM is very much lik.

IMPERIALISM is very much like
the tariff question, being largely a
'local ISSUE" as distinguished
Pennsylvania democrat remarked
of the latter good many years
ago. The imperialistic East has
its eyes on Cuba, and we believe
that if the Pacific coast states were
polled they would put sentiment
aside and demand the retention of
the Philippines. The trade of the
Orient, under the new conditions
that are prophesied, will have

JUDGE JohNsoN's DECISION.

The decision of Judge johnson,
of the Denver district court, that
the prize fight law is invalid and
unconstitutional, will be a severe
blow, solar plexus as it were, to
those worthless who think that the
states reputation is enhanced by
pugilistic encounters, and who
think that the Legislators of the
state are hale fellows well met,
who represent the so-called liberal
sentiments of the community in
legalizing prize fights, and having
them carried out under police su-
pervision. Judge johnson differs
somewhat from one of his col
leagues, who, few months ago,
was kind enough to grant an in
junction restricting the police of
Denver from interfering at one of
these mills. The Judge, in giving
the present decision, has apparent
ly well fortified himself by demon
strating that the statute, while h
penal one, provides no penalty;
secondly, because it is not self-op-
Grating; thirdly. because it is class
legislation; and lastly because
more than one subject is contained
in the body of the act. This de-
cision, strictly interpreted, will do
away with those pugilistic tourna-
ments which have been held so
frequently of late in Denver, and
which certain class in the com
munity appear to think desirable.

FLORENCE AND HER GUESTS.

evening very few of the yellow
badges designating the guests are

That Florence has done herself
proud in the entertainment of the
visitors is without question, They
were received with the utmost cor

were no holdups on the part of ho-
tells, rooming houses or restaurants.
Regular prices prevailed for every
thing.
For all this the people from out
of town were not loath to express
their appreciation. A Denverite
said to the writer this morning,
Commend your people for the
manner in which they entertain
visitors. You will be safe in say

Around the world backward.

The newspapers of the north have
announced the tact that an enthusiastic
sportsman has just left Brussels with
the avowed intention of walking
around the world backward. We shall
certainly await his arrival in New York
with great interest. The feat of going
around the world without sou in
ones pocket has become an everyday
matter-bicycle tours of the world are
an old stoly-therefore there must be
some new invention. by which the pub
lie craving for notoriety may be graft
fed. The man who walks backward is
bound to be safe from accidents. as the
automobile and other vehicles of loco
motion, if not out of common human
ity, at least out of admiration for
creature of such absolute daring, must
give II IN right of way. We may next
hear of some fanatic who has started
out TO make the tour of the world
walking on his hands. Truly, the pos
sibilities of globe trotting are in
