It has been source Of pleasure
and qualification to note with what
favor the art loving people of Canon
City have seconded our efforts to in
troduce something new and high-class
in the art line. We have always be-
lieved that what is bought and sold
in Denver or Boston in this line is
none too good for Canon City people,
and We want to say that this suppo-
sition has proved correct. We have
been surprised at the ready success
with which our efforts have been re-
warded.
Our debut into art was on very
modest scale. 1t consisted in the
purchase of a few medallions and a
dozen Copley prints. The demand
was immediate, and we saw the ne
cessity of carrying a larger stock.
And hereafter we shall have a sup
ply Of Copley prints and Platino-types
alone amounting to several hundred
dollars in value.
In the future this will be a perma-
nent feature of our business, and in
this line we shall always buy to cater
to the artist: tastes and needs of
the community.
We don't mind telling you that we
have on the way now from New York
and Boston about five hundred dol
lars worth of prints ranging in price
from $1.OO to $1,000 each. When
We get in the remainder of our fall
stock we are going to give our
friends and customers an opportunity
of seeing them, whether they have
any notion Of buying or not.
We sell Copleys, Platino-types and
all other prints at the prices charged
in Boston or New York. We pay
the freight. L. C. FOLTZ.

A Painful Accid Mt.

Sunday morning last, while Mr.. George
Schooner was on his way to services at
the little Red church. he met Judge Little,
who was out for a walk. Something was
said about politics. and the gentlemen
called each other liars. Both started 10
draw Their guns at the same time, but Mr..
Schooner was in such d hurry 10 get the
drop on the Judge that his gun was dis
charged before it was fairly clear Of his
pocket and he received a bullet in the left
heel. Being scholar and a gentleman
that ended the affair with the Judge. at
least for the tine being Later on, as We
understand IL, h Will go cunning for Mr.
Schreon.r. The bullet inflicted a painful
wound, and the doctor says that the vic
tim viii suffer from il for months. Mr
SChToOner has had full dozen Of these
little affairs and always came OCI ahead

OF the wound ne is greatly mortified over

tdblish a chicken farm. That's according
10 the sort of chiCken-farm he has in his

to combine a pOker-rOOm. 4 rO;ler-Skatjng

there is money in it. TO the best Of our
knowledge ald belief, 1t would not only
be a novelty. but business and pleasure
would be happily combined. Something,
however, depends on the man. There is
more or less shooting connected with the
game of poker as run out here, and for
the first six weeks he'd have 10 dodge
around pretty lively among his skates and
ice cream. After he had got four or five
mer planted in his private graveyard
things would so on swimmingly, and he'd
make money. We think it fair opening,

thority that a certain foreign power may

OF Paris with a view OF getting rid Of
one feature which il not considered ad-
yautageous.
The first half Of the volumin0us paper
IS merely a summary Of past action on
the part OF the United States In the mat
ter The proposal itself follows:
Private property Of all the citizens or
subjects Of the signatory power, with the
exception Of contraband Of w5r, shall be
exempt from capture or seizure on the

THE American delegates. referring TO
the fact that the circular of Count Mura-
vicff excludes extraneous matters, say;
The fact Of our having received the
instructions herein referred to from the
President Of the United States shows that
our government believed the scope Of the
conference wide enough TO include this
question
They urge as an argument that their
proposal if adopted as a rule OF war
would ameliorate the haTdshipS OF naval
warfare but il has been concluslvely
proved by experience In past wars that
the destruction of sea-Dorne commerce IS
one of the most humane ways Of reduc-
ing the power Of an enemy. As great
thinker once observed, 1t is better TO de-
stroy mems property than their lives.
For the moment the question is Wncth-
er the subject is one which can, consist
entity with the terms of the Muravef cira
cular, be submitted to the conference. II
seems scarcely probable that the matter
will be solved in a sense favorable 10 the
American proposal. At all events, some of
the leading delegates consider i outside
