ments in SmeIter Case.

Denver, June 19.-T. NJ. Patter-
son appeared before the supreme
court in smelter strike case today.
He demanded that all trivial and
irrelevant points be overlooked in
the case in order that the court
may decide at once upon the con
stitutionality of the law. The
court has set June 29th as the day
for hearing arguments in the case.
OF course the action of the com
mittee and Mr.. Grant will not be
in any way influenced by the post
ponement of the case in court.

A Lmcky Hnfrdresaer.

The old saying that a man may be n

to mind by an article in The Illustrated
London News on Famous Masters of
the Tonsorial Art. in which stories are
told of Duplan. the hairdresser to Napo-
leon This astute man made himself so
indispensable to the usfortunate Jose

quainted with the emperor affairs that
he was retained in the service of the
imperial family when Josephine was
superseded by Marie Louise He cared
for the hair of both the emperor and
empress being paid 1000 francs a year
for service to the fo~.uer and 5000 for

A New Fourth.

"There can be no such thing
this year as ian old fashioned
Fourth of July celebration" So
many new things have crowded
their way into the very face of
events thatno community will feel
justified in ignoring them. And
for this reason Pueblo's monster
celebration this year will eclipse
every other attempt ever made in
the west. There will be so many
novel features that it is impossible
to enumerate them. We can only
urge every reader of this to tell his
friends to be sure and attend the
big celebration at Pueblo on the
2, 3 and A of July. The festivities
will be worth going hundreds of
miles to partake of. Probably not
less than $4,000 will be expended
in one way and another to make
this the most memorable Fourth of
July in the history of the lives of
all who attend. Pueblo opens
wide her doors and most cordially
invites all of the good people of
Colorado to be present. The rail :
roads have made extremely low
rates from all points, tickets good
for four days. and Pueblo expects
that from 10000 to 10000 of her
neighbors will come and enjoy the
festivities now being prepared" I"

Torpedo Boats.

The average distance of discovery of
torpedo boat by the searchlight from
battleship has been calculated to be
7sl yards and the greatest distance
1000 yards Thus. taking the distance
at which the torpedo can be fired with
effect at 500 yards it will be generally
found that torpedo boat will have to
cross about 800 yards under fire from
the ship she is attacking, and it will
take the little craft about half minute
to do this.

SEVERE LOSS TO UNION BAKERY

Flames Have the Interior of the Struc-
ture Quilted Before Discovery Is Made
Frozen Plug Causes DeIsy-Groans of the

Fire last night destroyed large
barn and warehouse adjoining the
Union bakery. Twentv-lirst street and
Fifth avenue, burned two horses to
death and so seriously injured another
that its miSeries were ended today
with bullet.
1t was fierce blaze and ragged for
fully half hour before the tiremen
succeeded in controlling it. The
flames were driven in alternating di-
rectiOns by a rather strong wind, and
it was indeed lucky that contiguous
property was saved destruction.
1t seems that no one is able to ex-
plain the origin of the fire. Louis
Range, Jr., the proprietor of the bak-
cry, was in the barn l5 minutes be-
fore the alarm was sounded, tele-
phone message being sent to the CEN
trial engine house by Aid. T. a.
Pender. who saw the blaze from his
home. The supposition is that Il

the horses. The interior of the struc-

1t was heartrending to hear the
groans of the horses that were suffer-
ing death at the hands of the merci-
less flames. One that occupied stall
alone, and Singularly, too, made Il
break for liberty and got out of the
burning barn, but not before its body
was terribly scorched-so badly that
Mr.. Range had it shot today.
Unable to Reach Horses.
Wagons that were in the barn
were saved. 1t would have been
suicide to have attempted to
liberate the two horses, as they oc-
cupied stalls in the center of the sta
bic. The barn, which also contained
a quantity of hay, and the warehouse,
containing 100 barrels of flour, were
completely wrecked. Mr.. Range had
an insurance of $500 on his stock, but
his horses-valuable animals-and
his other destroyed property was rot
insured, and he estimates his losses
at 81 900. The barn was owned by
Louis Range, Sr., and was insured.
The home of Aid. Fender, at the
south, and Il cottage ut the north of
the barn, were both slightly damaged.
While Aid. Pender was on a ladder
throwing water on mis- house from n
garden hose. he received the full COM

reason to feel proud of its record, of

that Mayor Mcdil would be only do
ing his duty to accept denomination.
