THE AFTERMATH OF VICTORY, !"
COMMENTS IN LEADvILLE AFTER THE CON
THE VICTORY OF PHIDELA RICE.

Under the head "The Aftermath Of
Victory" the Leadville Herald Demo
crat has a column or more on the Inter
City contest.
That paper was very generous to all
the contestants, but in this article there
is a strain, as il it would call back some
of the words said complimentary Of
Phidela Rice.
1t believes that the accessories which
Mr.. Rice used were not in correct form
in an oratorical contest.
For the information OF that paper it
can be said that Mr.. Rice could have
done Just as we'll with any other piece.
He is not confined t. one defamation
and while he used the accessories to
make his piece the more effective it
seems to us he had the right to do so.
The young man has more than ordi-
nary talent and the words Of praise said
by the Il d, when under the spell Of his
charming recitation are doubtless the
true sentiments OF the writer, while
what has been said after seems to be in
huenced greatly by the spoken words Of
criticism from other friends of those
who participated, notably those from
Aspen.
The following is from the Herald
Democrat:
"The recitations we're, Of course, judg
ed solely as to delivery, and a wide diff
ference of opinion evidently prevailed

State Superintendent Grenfell. While

him to third place, ranking the two

teresting question suggests itself. Was
Mr. Rice's production recitation or a
dramatic monologue? There is de-
cided distinction. In the pure recitation
there are no accessories. But Rice Ger
tainly introduced some side issues into
his recitation which materially height
ened it's general effect and which were
altogether outside OF his own personal
ity. Soft music, voice singing in the
distanc, etc, were no part Of the recita-
ton as he himself delivered it. 1t was
fine, but was it legitimate recitation?
Might not the same thing be stretched

Lady Macheths monologue or hundred
other standard compositions could be
produced with telling effect by means
of costume and the principle might be
carried to such an extreme that the re-
otter could produce monologue play

SOME IMPROVEMENTS.

An entire hard wood floor is being
laid in the Lay & Garst store. This is
only one OF the many improvements that
have been made in this store lately.
In the second story, where the firm

were all cut out, the room papered and
painted, an d the firm has nov one Of the
most complete carpet rooms in the city.
Beside carpet room the big floor has
been put to several uses Here is

and curtains and curtain hangings.
With the laying Of the. new floor, the

.Just What They Were.

A bicycling party was pursuing its
leisurcly way along delightful coun-
try road the other day when they came
to particularly we'll kept kitchen gar
den. A patch Of most interesting
things ran beside the fence for dis
lance of 10 feet. There were innumer-
able stalks bearing aloft globes OF ~
different exquisite shades Of grayish
green and grayish purple, which were
so striking that the party dismounted
with one accord.
"How decorative" said one Of the
men.
what lovely color? said one Of the
girls.
"They would do to paint" said the
artist.

beautiful things are?" asked the girl

All Americans who have reason to
travel along the Riviera and from there
up to Paris are especially impressed
with the shortcomings Of foreign rail
road management. For several winter
months the trains running from east
and west to Monte Carlo are so crowded
that, though one has paid for his seat in
first class carriage he has frequently
to stand or to sit with 10 or IL in a
compartment with places for only eight
For short journeys the prices are not
unreasonable if the company provided
adequate accommodations, but when a
long distance is in question then the
charges would appall a Croesus
Two women with their maids decided
to go from Mentone to Paris last spring
by the train de luxe. but found they
could secure only one small compart-
ment for two persons and for this had
to wait week The price of each first
class ticket was $95, and for each berth
a supplementary charge was made of
$17.4O. the one nights journey from 6
in the evening until about II o'clock
the next morning costing for each per-
son $49 40 The maids. with eight
trunks, four of which were small ones
went by an earlier train, and the charge
for the extra baggage was $27.2O The
guard on the train de luxe after it had
left Mentone informed the women that,
though their tickets called for COM
partment for two, the car had been
changed, and Nos. 7 and s, their num-
bers in the substituted car. were in
double room. The other two berths
were to be occupied by man and
woman who would get in at Cannes.
Neither entreaties nor Indignation was
of any avail, but quiet at will be to

The women got the room for two and
the guard the extra tip. The entire cost
of the journey, therefore, amounted to
about $40. A II hours journey in the
United States costs about SIS or $40,
including berth in a sleeping car, a
little more than third Of what it cost
in France.
This French road was built mainly
by government loans and soon falls
completely under the governments con-

about literature the other day. They
disagreed violently. The east side
philosopher admircs Tolstoi, the Anglo

two hours Of wr0ngllng, the east side
philosopher said:

that It's written by brutes for brutes

closer connection between the stomach

Professor Blank asked J. P. Morgan,

wished to illustrate his lecture on

the animal. Mr.. Morgan succeeded in
getting one with the aid of some small
boys. When his students had assem-
bled, the professor put the cat into the
glass receiver of the air pump and be-
gan to pump out the air. Before the
piston had time to move more than
once or twice the cat began to feel very
uncomfortable, and, discovering the
aperture through which the air was
escaping. put her foot on it and thus
corked the pipe and stopped the removal.
of the air.
Several subsequent attempts 10 curry
on the experiments were alike ineffec-
tual for as soon as the glass cover was
put over her and she felt the removal
of the air the cat would put her feet
over the pipe and keep them pressed
there
The students, struck by the remark

herself and smoothing her ruffied fur,
