Thereby hangs tale. The gentleman
whose attentions to the sovereign visiting
the court of Victoria at a time when the
present Prince of Wales a baby, when
Victoria and Albert were happy lovers and
when Boer wars were undreamed of by
the tight little ISLE, held an office corre-
spending in some measure to the so
ably filled by our own Maj. Sylvester. He
was. by her majesty of Great Britain and
ireland, delighted and commanded to at
tend upon all public occasions the King of
Prussia in his trips about the metropolis.
That he performed well his duties is thor
oughly proven by the gift Of the silver tea
service. but reference to some contempo-
raneous publications doubly enhances the
estimated value of those services.
A Bit of History.
Among the seidom-read treasures of the
new Congressional Library is a complete
file of the London Times, and under date
of February 25. 1s42. occurs the following
reference to the service which is now for
sale in a Washington pawnshop:
THE KING OF PRUSSIA During His
the chief constable of Westminster, was appointed
In reward for those services His Majesty has or
dered that splendid silver tea service bearing a
which is now in state Of preparation
The solemn English style Of the "Thun-
tice, but. unfortunately for the student Of
this particular antique. 1t Is the only refer
ence to the matter to be found, and the
heirs Of Foster Owen In America are ex-
ceedingly retlcent regarding the silver
ware. This much. however. is known. The
last representative Of the family to possess
1t was resident of Baltimore, and 1t was
at q public sale there that he parted with
it. Whether fallen fortunes or a truly
American disregard for royalty and Its
gifts prompted the sale is neither known
nor pertinent. and too careful a scrutiny
into a gentleman's private affairs Is not
the purpose Of this story. Suffice to relate
that the royal gift of Frederick William to
Foster Owen was purchased by specula
tor who sent 1t to Washington as the most
likely place to secure quick return and
profit on his Investment.
Its original cost, estimating prices as we
know them to be now, and prssuming that
his majesty employed leading silversmith
to execute the order. could not have been
less than $1,000. There are 120 pieces in the
set, and every one Is marked with the
monogram Of the recipient. only the larger
ones, however, being embla1oned with the
coat Of arms and the inscription already
noted.
Valuable gifts are by no means rarely to
be met with in pawnshops, and some of the
most cherished medals Of valor have. per-
force Of wretched poverty, gone tnat way.

GIFT FROM ROYALTY
BUT TT NOW REPOSES IN THE WIN
DOW OF A LOCAL PAWNSHOP.
Presented by Frederick william of
Prussia to the High Con-
stable of Windsor.
Written for The Evening Star.

In the window of a Washington pawn
shop. surrounded by the thousand and one
more or less tawdry articles of jewelry, as
if these were intended to set off its regal
splendor, is an old oaken chest, containing a
splendid silver tea service The chest is iron
bound, in the fashion of half century or
SO ago. and by it's appearance Of antiquity
draws the attention Of the casual observer.
A closer inspection of the larger pieces of
the service increases the curiosity. and the
question comes to mind as to how it came
to it's present abiding place. Finely en-
graved upon one side Of these pieces is the
royal coat-of-arms OF the former kingdom
of Prussia, while upon the opposite are the
words, cut into the metal in the finest style

Colorado Populists should not write
the word "Populist" this year. That is
the designation of the Middle of-the
Road ticket and will not be vote for
Bryan.
Silver Republicans should not vote
the "Silver Republican ticket" That is
an incomplete ticket and does not vote
G, A. Bennett or Guy D. Duncan. Vote
the Teller Silver Republican" ticket.
Or, save time by voting "Democratic." ;"
Boulder county voters should not write
the word Bryan" That ticket does not
carry the Bryan legislative or judicial
ticket in this country, The Bryan
ticket only applies to Arapahoe county
fusionists.
Don't write the word "Fusion." There
is all kinds of fusion this year and your
vote will be thrown out.
If you are in earnest and want to sup
port the anti Wolcott ticket from top to
bottom, write the word "Democratic" at
the head of the ticket. This will avoid
all possible mistakes.

JUDGE BoUGH1oN's LETTER.

The letter from Judge Boughton, pub
lished in this issue, is manly state ment
and one that was expected from him by
those who knew him best. Judge
Bougton feels aggrieved and says So.
but at the same time he regards his duty
to his party and friends who supported
him to be his complete submission to the
action of the committee. He has per.
sonal admiration for both Judge Bennett
and Mr. Duncan and could not feel that
he should permit sense of wrong to in
jure their chances\of election.
As to Mr. Duncan, the reader will note
that be is endorsed by Judge Boughton.
The latter was sitting Judge at the time
when the honesty of H. E. Churchill, MIR
Duncan's opponent. was impeached. No
man of character has vouched for the
honesty of Mr. Churchill. Does the
reader realize that the district attorney
has in hislsole pLwer the dismissing of
prose cutions of criminals? This is a
gre at power and one which should never
be conferred upon man whose honesy
is questioned. We have no intention of
doing Churchill any wrong. We have
appealed t. the Boulder Herald ard
Loveland Reporter, which published
articles II 1897 rejecting upon his chat
acter. We have asked them what evl.
dence they now have that they misrep
resented Churchill then? All is silence.

letters and statements we have made
convinces US that Mr. Churchill is utterly
unfit for the high office for which his
party has nominated him, Republicans
can correct this error of their party by
voting for Guy u. Duncan of Boulder.

THE GOLDEN GAME.

Prospects for the Golden game are
not of the brightest at present. Last
night after practice, Wix Howard turned
his ankle on large stone and sprained
it so severely that he will be unable TO
play for some time. This leaves the
team without man for the position Of
right half, that being Patterson's place
also. Pesky Garwood got an ugly muscle
bruise in Saturdays game and at present
can not move his knee. This will prob.
ably make it necessary for Tonkin to 60
in at guard and Mccain at tackle. In
addition to this premature and wholly
unfounded report that Thayer bad
broken his collar bone reached his par
ents and they have forbidden him from
playing. Jebb is also in poor condition.
This is hardly bright prospect when it
is remembered that in spite Of reported
weakness, Golden is playing a swift and
strong game.

that his inclinations should be toward

Probably no section of Boulder county
is more active at the present time than
Wall Street camp. Within radius of
one mile from the postofhce there are nc
less than twelve mines actively operated
producing and shipping quantities of

Wood Mountain, Melvina, Franklin, For
rest, Tambourine, Gold, Sugar Loaf,
Concord, Dulard, No. 6, Logan and
Lucky Star.
No doubt the development and success

stimulate others in the immediate vicin-

There is no good reason why this camp
