There will b. no Festival of Mount

merchants aud business men generally
Of the city have come to realization Of
the taci that festival is more detri-

OF the prejudice against il among the

Denver feels that the friendship OF the

The Audience Got angry.

There was Q scene of wild excitemea, during the last week of May, 1899, at the Gaiety, London, and all owing to the singular behavior of policeman. Two popular entertainers were on the stage, and one of them asked the audi ence little conurdrum, "Why is a po- liceman an utter ,coundrel?"
 A gentleman ia blue who was appar- ently on duty in the body of the thea ger at once took Ufense. He jumped on to the stage and. seizing the offender attempted to drag him off.
 The audience rose in indignation. Men shook their fists and shouted, "WhGt has he done?" One frenzied yorag lady in the front of the gallery Aei2ed a tumbler and would have thrown 1t at the policeman if her arm had not been arrested.
 The policeman then dragged his cap tive off the stage amid the misses and shouts of the audience But anger was speedily changed to laughter when Mir Policeman reappeared with his victim and stood revealed as one of the CosIDn trio. I never saw an audience so oom- pletely taken in.-London Correspond anca

 A prominent English landlord was one day riding across a common ad- jacent to his preserves when he over took one of his tenants. who was alsc mounted After the usual salutation. they rode on in silence for some min utes. when the tenant slightly spurred his horse, a balky animal, whereupor it dropped to its knees.
 Whats the matter with your horse2'' asked his lordship The en- barrassed tenant remarked by way of explanation that his steed always acted that way when there was game to be iound
 A moment later, to the tenants sat isfaction and surprise, a frightened hare jumped out of some bushes near by.
 This so impressed the landlord that he at once drove bargain by which he secured the tenants barebacked beast in exchange for his own fine mount, perfectly saddled With much agility the tenant leaped to his new horse. and Ill went well until they came to q small stream. whereat the landlord's new nag immediately baked A drive home with the spurs brought it agair 10 its knees.

The Prisons of Morocco Are HOtbeds
 of Deadly Disease.
 Tho prison system and treatment of prisoners are worse in Morocco than in eny other country in the world.
 Men are arrested-often merely to spite some one whom they have been 30 unfortunate as to offend and who pos sesses some power-and flung into pris- on, where they would be left to starve did not their relatives or friends bring them food, for no arrangements whatever are made by the authorities for the feeding of prisoners. All that is provided is prison, generally crowded with prison CTS dying in the most loathsome and in fectious diseases, dark and unventilated. snd custodians who are quite as brutal and savage as the prison system itself.
 Prisoners are cast into these hotbeds of disease, generally without the most farcical pretense of a trial, to die and rot if their crimes are light or their enemies impotent. Otherwise they are probably tortured in some way or an- other. Starving merely is too good for them in the opinion of the authorities.
 Not long ago a merchant who had dared to claim payment for goods sup piled to friend of one of the court off cials was cast into prison without trial and after suffering torments in the midst of a mass of diseased humanity for months was taken out, showed into a barrel fitted with long spikes and rolled down high steep hill The bar rel eventually plunged into the sea with its torn and mangled cargo.

JUST A GLIMPSE.
A Man of Mature Years Sees Strangely Fam iIiar Face Tn a Mirror.

Man of Mature Years Sees .
 Strangely Familiar Face Tn n MirrOs1
 Here, " said man of mature yearA twas an experience that fancy others have had. You know we don't realize the change in our own appearance as the years go by. We feel young, all right, and imagine that we look so, and never realize that we don't. But com ing down from an upper story of tall building in an elevator the other day and thinking of something else I hap pened to see a face in a mirror in the side of the car.
 ''It had a curious interest for me somehow. It was the face of a man of middle age, tolerably well preserved, but with hair pretty gray and with marks at the outer corners of his eyes showing where the crow had stepped on him-lightly, to be sure, but the marks of crows feet nevertheless, the face of a man of years. But, old and gray, the most curious and fascinating thing about it was its striking resem- blance to my own. This was almost startling, but a moment later, when as I looked at it saw a slight turn of my own head reproduced with a correspond ing movement by the head in the mir TOT, realized that what saw was in deed a reflection of my own face, and that for a moment bad seen myself as I was.
 ''But when I got home I looked in the glass there. And did see any mid dle aged folks now2 Not by jugfull l saw the man wanted to see. A little gray perhaps2 Yes, little gray. Gow's feet2 Yes, if you want to call 'em so. I'm no spring chicken don't set out to be that-that is, not this springs but I'm young man still fer all that, and I'm going to remain so for many years to come despite what the mirror in the elevator said.

Naval Heroes In the Abbey.

The well known saying, ''Westmin ster abbey or glorious victory. attrib- uted to Nelson when he boarded the San Josef at the battle of Cape. Vim cent, seems to point to the hero's own wishes as to an abbey grave. But for some unknown reason. when the end came at the famous battle at Trafalgar (1S05), Nelson was buried at St. Paul's, and the abbey authorities, finding crowds going there to gaze on his last resting place, had an efigy made of him and set it up near Kempenfelt's monument, in order to attract people back to Westminster, with the desired result.
 The figure now stands in the Islip Chantry chapel with the other funeral effigies, and Is very lifelike and good representation of the great man. It is said to have been copied from smaller figure for which Nelson sat. in all the clothes except the coat he actually wore Maclise, who borrowed the hat for his picture of the Death of Nelson, " found the marks of the eye patch on the inner lining and the stamp of the period iL the crown.-Pan Mall Magazine

MYSTERIOUS LIGHT AT SEA.
Three Steamers Didn't Understand It, but the Prince of Monaco Knew.

Three Steamers Didn't Understand
 It, but the Prince of Monaco Knew.
 The Prince of Monaco has been known since 1885 as an enthusiastic student of the sea and its various forms of life He usually spends his summers in the study of oceanographic problems, and his cruises have on some occasions been extended almost to the coasts of Amer ica. He delivered lecture before the Royal Geographical society in London in which he told this incident:
 One afternoon, while in the bay of Biscay, he sank the trap in which he collected specimens of sea life. It went to the bottom in over 12, 900 feet of water. and as night approached he fas- tened to the wire attached to it an cleo tric buoy and then stood off a mile or so. It did not happen to occur to him that he was right in the track of steam CTS plying between northern Europe and the Mediterranean, but he was re- minded of the fact later.
 As he and his IA sailors were watch Ing with good deal of satisfaction the swaying buoy with its brilliant illu- imitation a steamers lights came into view It was soon evident that the steamer was curious to know the mean ing of the illumination, for she altered her course and made for the light She knew that no fishing boats came out So far from land and so determined to solve the mystery. Up she came to within quarter of a mile of the buoy. slowed up for a minute, and then start ed ahead, perhaps little disgusted af the incident that had lured her several miles out of her course.
 She had hardly got away when a sec 3nd steamer came into view, and she, too bore down upon the lighted buoy The marines on the princess vessel un- derstood by this time that the illumina- tion was probably believed to be evil dence of a disaster. J ast as the princes steamer was moving up to explain mat ters she was nearly run down by one of the large liners in the oriental trade, which had also left her course to render what assistance she could
 The swell was very heavy, and the prince feared a collision as the three vessels approached the light like moths .lround a candle. He therefore veered off and the other vessels, after standing by for a few minutes, went on their way and probably never learned the cause of that nights illumination at sea.
 But the incident gave the prince pointer. He carefully refrained there Ifter from exhibiting his electric 5uoy on any of the much travelled ocean routes. New York Sun.

The United Verde and Pacific railroad company is daily expecting the arrival of two Shay engines for use on its road. This style of engine has a geared motion, the steam cylinders, instead of being horizontal are nearly vertical, slant ing from underneath the boiler out ward to the side. While this make of engine is very powerful, it is not capable of attaining a high rate of speed. It is estimated that with the use of these engines fifteen load ed cars can be pulled over the road, the capacity of the present engines being only from six to eight.
 President Frank M. Murphy of the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phenix Railroad company, in response to the toastmaster's demand, empha- sized by the applause of the com pany at the Phenix banquet on We'd nesday evening, made short ad- dress, developing the idea that if the people of Arizona could get the members of congress to visit the ter ritory statehood would follow as a matter of course. MT. Murphy, pro foundly impressed with the value of the object lesson the territory itself affords, would be glad if the leading members of the senate and house could see Arizona as it is-not as it is pictured by irresponsible writers. The burden of his statement was that statehood would come if the people would write and work along legitimate lines for its accomplish ment. His remarks were cheered to the echo.
 Senator Shoup in addition to be- ing chairman of the senate commit tee on territories, is member of the military committed of the senate also. In company with General Ainsworth, who many years ago was stationed at Whipple, he made visit to the above post, and unhesi- tatingly approved of the intentional the government to maintain it, re- marking that its location is an ideal one, while for military purposes gen erally, nothing less than a regi- mental garrison should be main tained. General Ainsworth, while he is the chief of the pension office, nevertheless is a doctor of the high est, and stated that he had prepared data favorable to the maintenance of Whipple from medical and sani tarv standpoint, and that the same was before the war department. Both gentlemen stated that Whip pie would be substantially rebuilt and heavily garrisoned, the present volume of military business being so large that the work could not be undertaken until every detail was perfected so as to permit of no in terruption when once inaugurated.
