The Countess Schlmmelmann and Her

Regarding the self-sacrifce Of the no

the Chicago Advance says, referring par
ticularly to her work in Chicago:
This remarkable Danish noblewoman
has begun in Chicago that unique work
among sailors and other neglected men
which has had such notable spread and
success in other lands. Her yacht
"Duen," which she purchased from H.
R. H. Prince Waldemar of Denmark, is
moored at North avenue, and on it she
conducts a free kitchen, serving lunch
con and coffee to all the needy men who
enter, seeking thus to win them to Christ

years was lady of honor to the Empress
Augusta, wife of old Emperor William Of
Germany. Though having access to all
the courts Of Europe and everything that
wealth or social standing could bring,
she has chosen this life of lowly service,
bringing all her gifts of person and rank
and fortune to the feet of her Master
OF her entrance upon the work the

"It is considered a great disgrace in
our country for woman to speak in
public, and especially before men. But

down upon me and loved meme, lit

way. So gave away tracts to the fish

tracts. But the tracts did not say my
whole heart, so I began to write little
notes, so that the poor people would be
sure to understand that God loved them.
Then my notes grew longer and longer
and / did not have time to write enough,

The Motto In a Wedding Ring.
A lover gave the wedding ring
Into the goldsmith's hand.
"Grave me, he said, "a tender thought
Within this golden band"
The goldsmith graved
With careful art,
"Till death US part.
The wedding bells rang gladly out.
The husband said: "Oh, wife,
Together we will share the grief,
The happiness, Of life.
give to thee
My hand, my heart,
Till death us part.
So up the hill and down the hill,
Through fifty changing years,
They shared each others happiness,
They dried each others tears.
Alas, alas,
That deaths cold dart
Such love can partl
But one sad day she stood alone
Beside his narrow bed.
She drew the ring from OFF her hand
And to the goldsmith said,
20 man who graved
With careful art,
Till death US part,
Snow grave four other words for me,
Till death us join" He took
The precious golden band once more,
With solemn, wistful look,
And wrought wit care,
For love, not coiK,
It'll death US join"

A Tourist Preacher.

Rev. D. E. Ostenson came down from
Ouray Wednesday. He will remain over
Sunday and hold services in st. Matt
hews church.
Very recently Rev. Ostenson complet-
ed trip in the diocese over which he
presides as archdearon, which compre-
hended about six hundred miles Of wag-
on travel.
He started from Meeker and went all
through that north country, holding SER
vices at all the small towns and visiting
his parishioners everywhere along the
route followed. He crossed mountains
and valleys, scaled peaks. forded rivers
and saw nature in all her loviiness. in
many places where the hand and face OF
the white man has done little and has
been seen very infrequently.
In the years to come when all the
country in the northwestern part Of the
state is girdled with railways and points
now almost inaccessible are Of easy
reach by cars, he will look back upon
this trip with the greatest Of pleasure
He will then be able to count himself az
one of the pioneers in the dissemination
OF Christian gospel, in country which
only a few years ago and even today il
the home of the red race.
Rev. Ostenson's health il much i'm
proved by the trip and he feels that he
is better able to do his work, which
covers a large field, from the benefits oi
his long wagon itiniary.

do but pack up for Denver.
Major Hooper Of the Rio Grande is
working hard ON the schedule for the
special trains, but owing to the msager
information in his possession as to the
plans OF the Colorado people, he is hav-
ing some trouble.
The plan now is for tho special to
leave here at 2 O'Clock Saturday after
noon. This will put the train in Denver
at a. m. on the 18th.
Every town on the road wants the
boys to stop for time, but this will be
impossible.
There is no information here as to
what time Denver wants the trains to
arrive. Plans now contemplate etop-
ping at Salt Lake, Leadv vile, Pueblo and

It is the large Drained man Of
common sense, who generally
come to the rescue, where techni-
cally educated men or men of ig-
norance, have led the public into
dilemma. 1t is a matter which
needs no denial or affirmation that,
municipal affairs in Grand juno
ton are in a grand muddle, from
which there seems at present no
way of extrication. The council
lacks a strong and vigorous lead
er in the aldermanic roster, else
some little ray of sunlight might
be forthcoming. A number of
the board were selected, not be-
cause of marked ability in public
affairs, but simply because it was
determined by the side RESPONSE
BILE for their nomination that they
could be elected. If it be fully
determined that by strategy or
otherwise no work can be accom-
plished, the interests of the city
would be better served by the
resignation of the entire board or
of those connected with one side
or another of council It is a
shame, an outrage that every
municipal improvement is block
ed because of tho failure to agree
upon one question. While the
settlement of this is of great i'm
portance, the prosperity and hap
piness of the whole people is not
lodged in its adjustment. The
year 1899 should never close
without seeing in successful oper-
alton system of sewerage and if
such work be not accomplished,
because either side of the water
question is stubbornly insistent
upon blocking the work, those in
dividuals will forevermore be re-
membered by the people.
