aRANDEsr Ball OF THE YEAR.

In the history of Affairs social in this
city, the grand annual balls of the
Knights OF Pythias have always easily
ranked in the lead. In former years the
event was always marked by the largest
crowds and the most elegant costuming
Of any affair of the season. The organ
ization has recently taken on new life
and proposes to duplicate the old time
glory Of the order, under the new regime,
by giving grand ball, which shall not
be eclipsed by any affair thus far given
this season or about to be given.
The committee having the matter in
charge have determined one thing in
their mind and that is that there shall
be nothing left undone. which by their
efforts may be done, which shall con-
tribute to the success OF the ball.
The ball will occur on the night OF
Friday January 9th. For the occasion
Prof. Boyer's orchestra has been engag-
ed to furnish the music and to the regu-
lar number Of pieces of music he will
add an innovation in the shape Of trap
drummer, whose music will add materi-
ally to the volume OF the orchestra and
will furnish that element Of finish to the
ensemble which will make it a novelty
to Grand Junction dancers.
Already the young devotees Of terpsi-
chore are fixing no other engagement
for that night and that they will par
ticipste in the grand event is readily un-
derstood, by the manner in which the
sale OF tickets has started of. In all
probability the members of the Uni
form rank will add eclat to the event
be giving again one of their beautiful
exhibition drills, but this latter portion
OF the program has not been fully decid-
ed upon, as it requires some effort to 30
cure the consent Of the grand officers Of
the organization to appear in public.
However, upon those occasions when
they have appeared 1t has been a charm
ing feature OF the social event and as 90
many people have asked that the drill
be repeated it may be that arrangements
csn be effected in time to add this feat
ure to the many of ihtt night, which is
to be night Of much promise and pleas
ure.

THE CASE OF THE DEMI MONDE.

The case OF Emma Howard, charged
with being prostitute and with being
the proprietress OF a house of i'll fame,
has been on trial since yesterday morn
ing. The eminent counsel engaged on
the two sides are, for the prosecution,
Samuel G. McMullin; district attorney,
and his deputy, Guy v Sternberg, and
for the defense, Samuel N Wheeler and
Henry w. Ross.
The fight is quite bitter, as upon the
decision OF the court and the jury prac-
tically rests the decision in great num-
ber OF cases wherein the proprietors Of
the houses, the owners OF the property
and the inmates directly hinges.
The case is a cause celebre in county
court annals. on account OF the promi-
nence the case received through the dis
churge by the court OF the first venire of
jurors summoned, which was done
through motion to qussh the entire
venire OF twenty. made by the district
attorney, wherein he made charges
against the sheriff of the county.
A new venire was summoned, taken
from the body OF the county
The prosecution presented it's first
witness this morning, being Mr.. Kellar,
proprietor of the Midway hotel. He
testified as to the character OF the house
run by En- Howard and the manner in
which the women had behaved in
front OF the house OF Emma How
ard and along the street. Mr.. Kellar
has been greatly annoyed as property
owner in that section Of the town and ia

oUR DUTY TO CAPITAL.

Another attempt is being made to stir
up strife and discord in this city.
through the attempt by the council to
light system. Another case Of belabor-
ing capital that is invested here. Should
another plant secure franchise here
there would be even worse lights than
we have at present. Two companies can
not exist here, that is q certainty. 1t
would be = grand struggle, neither plant
being self supporting and correspond
ingly poor service would result.
A certain few people in this town
must abandon the idea that simply be-
cause they don't happen to be pleased
with the conduct OF some certain corpor
alton, which has public utility that they
will start at once to undermine and de-
stroy such investment. Such policy is
radically wronF it has done infinite in
jury TO tho city and we are earning a
reputation which will work harm, when
the public realizes that no capital can be
invested, which does not have to pay
tribute to some class or another. Such
strife is usually engendered by some sore
head, who, seeking public notice, fails
to receive it only when he becomes an
incubus upon the city and upon all cap
ital invested in that city. 1t ia time the
people drop such policy, learn a new
lessop and strive to work beyond the
conditions Of more village, and be-
como a community OF the Importance,
which nature and the very condition OF
things seems to intend that we should
occupy.
The Grand Junction Electric and
Manufacturing company has never been
unreasonable, it has, within its power,
striyen to be just and fair. but its every
effort OF concilliation has been met with
the opposite conditions. You cannot
drive the compa ny from the city, it will
have it's friends, matters not who may
erect a new system. 1t will meet COM
petition, even il done so at a loss, 80 no
material gain is made by the city at the
present time by encouraging new
plant. The time will come when a now
plant and competition will be necess-
ity, but there is no extortionate exaction
by the present company which would
warrant the erection OF a new plant,
compelling starvation by both compan-
les at the present time.
No one has disproved that the price
for lights here is not less than in nine
tenths Of the cities Of the state Facts
and figures have been openly presented
by the company, il those who are oppos-
I'D to the present plant, retain that op-
position based solely on economic prin-
ciples, they should present figures to this
public that would be convincing.
When they do present figures which
show that this company is asking extor-
tionate prices for lighte, The Sentinel
promises to swing to that side and de-
mand the erection of plant in coDpe-
tition to the present system.

tainly be easily disproved bnt until such

COST OF PHILIPPINE WAR.
MONEY AND LIVES EXPENDED IN
LUZON.
Of Twenty-seven Provinces on Luzon
Americans Have Only Occupied Four
Few Islands Landed on.

NEW YORK, June 2l.-A special
from Washington to the World says:
The Philippine war has cost the Gov
.ernment TO date S63, 600, 900 in money and
66i men. Besides, about $500 soldiers
have been wounded and invaided.
Yet the war seems to be no nearer
an end than ii was months ago. The
Americans control less than 100 square
miles of territory, and are rapidly los-
ing the little they possess. An army
officer, returned from Manila. made the
astounding statement today that so per
cent of the soldiers in the Philippines
will get pensions for dysentery and
other intestinal complaints. An officer
of high rank, well qualified to speak,
estimates that the war is costing the
Government about $3.50 900 a day. When
the entire $4,000 men are in the Philip
pines the daily cost will exceed $500, 000
This estimate does not include the eX-
ira cost of the naval forces, which will
amount to $1,370,000 for the 1877 days of
the war, over and above the normal
cost of maintaining a squadron on the
Asiatic station.
The correspondent is Informed that
the expenditures for the troops, main
tenance Of the navy, and the payment
of Spain of the 500, 900 900 indemnity
and other incidental costs will foot up
to not less than $780, 100000, with the
probability that this sum will be large
ly augmented by indefinite campaign
! ing.
OF the twenty-seven provinces of
Luzon. not more than four have been
entered by American troops. The Am
erican forces have landed only on some
of the other Islands, indanao, Bala-
/ bac, MindorO. Paragua, Panay, Cebu
and Negros-where they are compelled
to remain in fortified cities.
