ENoLAND.s BORROWED ARMIES
Has Secured Ali Over Europe to Hirs
 E0Idfers


 Has Secured All Over Europe to Hlrs
 Soldiers.
 This is the first war Great Britain has fought against white enemies with out buying foreigners to fight fo~ us, says a London paper. Until less than 60 years ago, Whaa We had a war on hand. We sent of to Germany.and all over Europe. ge men 10 fight for Us. The men tagged were most ly old soldiers, and were hired to fight until the war was fuished In 1756 an invasion of Engls1rd WAS feared, so 5000 Hessians were hired to come and defend these shores against the ex- pected attack. These hirelings were paid at the British rate of pay, and for every man of them killed their king was paid so much per heed. Even against the American eolonists Hes sian troops were employed. No won- der our -Englishmen were en- ragged at this shameless action. The landgrage Of Hease was paid S2.355,= 0e0 in 3 Der cent stock for the Hes sians lost in the war of independence This was the amount of s150 per man. The Irish yebeilio. of 1798 was put down chiefly by Hessian hifelings. Tn the long struggle With Napoleon we freely hired foreigners. Dut the bulk of the work was done by British soI- diers. Wellington found that he could not rely op his mereenary gangs too much. In 1901 the Kings German le- zion" of 10000 men was formed. Two years later the force was increased by 6,000 men. Besides Germans from all the petty states. there were also en- listed French royalists expelled by Ma poleon, Gorsicans, Greeks, Italians Turks, Portuguese, Belgians, Hunqari- ans and Swiss. At Waterloo, Yelling tons army of 67000 was made up oi only 22.000 British, and the rest were Dutch. Brunswickers, Hanoyerians and Nassaumen. When peace came in 1874 there were no less than 29.000 hired Foreigners forming corps in the British army The Crimean war was the last time Britain had to go a-hiring sol diers. Thirty thousand men had been sent to the Crimea and more were wanted. So the government went to parliament with a bill authorizing the enlistment of 10000 Germans. 5000 Swiss and 5000 Italians, at British rates of pay.

gusKlN.s ART TREASURES.
Thirty of Them Now at Brentwood
 Valued at st5o,0O0.

Thirty Of Them Now at Brahtwood
 Valued at sI5o.ooo.
 To speak of John Ruskin's art treas. ares Is to think of Turner. The ex- amples by this master at Brentwood are not now so many as they once were, in large part because of his gen. erous gifts to Oxford and Cambridges so say nothing of the famous Loire series which, complete, he gave to the Oxford galleries. To the university towns he gave, for instance, several beautiful water colors of Venice, of the function of the Greta and the Tees, which he regarded as one of the very best of the Yorkshire series, the mag nifcent Richmond, Yorks,' now in fhe Fitzwiliiam Museum, and others. Again, instead of remaining in his possession, "The Slayer" given to him by his father about the time of his majority, is now In America, Even today, however, the thirty or so Tur- her water eolors at Brantwood, be- side many sketches, each one chosen with view to some particular beauty. or characteristic, constitute one of the finest collections of the kind owned by an individual They enable us to follow the development of the artist from 1792, when as lad of IT he painted his own portrait, through his various significant phases, onward to &he early forties, when he shaped some of the most wonder provoking and ex- quisit0 of his creations A value of something like f30 900 has been put upon the assemblage by one who has recently been at Brentwood. but, in truth, linked so closely as they are to Ruskin's life-Worlz, while they remain together they are invaluable. Twenty two years ago Mr. Ruskin exhibited his Turner's in Bond street The cpl aogue to this fascinating notes is dated Brentwood, 10th May, 1878. and after ward comes this simple and beautiful tribute Being my fathers birthday who. though & aforesaid, he sometimes would not give me this or that-yet gave me not only all these drawings but Brentwood all else. ."-Lon- Son Letter In New York Evening Post

A Curious Lawsuit.

A curious lawsuit is in progress at Kansas City, Kan, brought by s. K. Howe against the Armour Packing company, to recover fourteen acres of river front occupied by the packing Houses. The old man tells veritable Robinson Crusoe story. Many years ago he took up his abode on a little islaud in the Missouri river. living in hut with dog and few fowls for Ais only companions. He was lord of she domain. and no one questioned the faet. Finally the stream changed It's course. and what was an island became valuable river front. and the Armour company forced him of.

During the last week of the Chantau-
qua. under the direction OF Mrs Noble
Prentiss, a girls club was organized, its
membership to include all girls between
tue ages Of six and sixteen, its design
being to foster and stimulate Chautau

directors offer to the members of the
cub reduced rates OF admission to the
grounds and lecture course for next
season, free instructions IN certain classes
the use of gymnasium--should one be
built-and other privileges of an educa.
,ional and recreatlve nature.
Girls over sixteen years of age may
'in the club though the reduced rates
offered by the management caunot apply
to them. They will, however, share in
other benefits extended to members
only.
The next meeting of the club will be
held at the home of Mrs Barker, 724
Arapahoe avenue. Friday afternoon,
Sept r4th, at 4:3o, promptly New

Colonel Ma,oney Does the Magnanimous
Thing Over IN Denver.
From Today's Rocky Mountain News.
"For lew hours yesterday there was
great jubIa'ion in the Wolcott ranks at
the possibility of two Democratic county
conventio, IS and two county tickets.
"But before ; o'clock in the afternoon
the smiles were on the faces of Demo
Gratis. Populists and Silver Republicans,
and the opposition was correspondingly
depressed
"rhe day closed with harmony in the
Democratic ranks, the report of the com.
mittee on Credentials was adopted un
animously, other committees were named
and the convention adjourned until 10
o'clock this morning. when It will meet
in Coliseum hall and proceed with busi-
ness.
"Portlons OF the convention were some
what migratory during the day. The
convention was called to meet al the
Broadway ,hea,er. but 1t was long after
the announced hour when Chairman
M aloney appeared in the great crowd
which was gathered in the corridors.
After brief period of confusion, which
is fully described else where in this paper.
two conventions went into session.
Chairman Maloney and some Of the dele
gates met in the Broadway .heater while
the majority OF the delegates, under the
leadership of John I. Bottom, who had
been named by Judge Adair Wilson OF
the peace committee for chairman OF the
convention, met in Coliseum hall and ap
pointed a committee on credentials, and
adjourned until evening at the D-nver
theater.
"The Maloney convention in the
Bro .dway az burned unul the middle of
the afternoon after a short SIS ion
When it reconvened Mr. Maiohey modr
short and manly speech, IN which he
said that he would not carry his opposI
ton farther at the risk of causing a .plu
in the party. He advised those presen,
who were elected as delegates at the late
primaries to join in the evening session
in the Denver theater with the other
wing of the party.
"While there had been harsh com
ments on Mr. Maloney's course up to
that time, his straightforward stand
against an irrevocable division had an
excellent effect. 1t was felt that it was
in his power to cause bitter quarrel in
the ranks of the party, and when he d.
clined to do so those who had previously
condemned him were not less frank in
their approval than were the friends
who had stood by him.
"At the evening session in the D.nver
theater the two wings reunited, adopted
the rsport of the committee on creden
tials without dissent, appointed the o,ht r
necessary committees and adjourned un
til this morning. when the session will be
held in Coliseum hall.
zone of the points which developed
during the evening was th,t the report
of the committee on credentials had
seated large number oil friends of Cass
E. Harrington, and it is likely that he
will be pushed strongly for the nomin
aiion for goYernor."

LONDON, Oct. 13-The Duke and Ouch
es5 of Connaught started unexpectedly for
KIonsberg, Prussia, this morning The
secrecy of their movements leads to the
belief that the condition of the Dowager
Empress Frederick of Germany is more
serious than has been admitted.
The critical condition of the Dowager
Empress Frederick of Germany is caus-
ing grave anxiety in England, not only on
her own account, but through fear of the
effect of her death on Queen Victoria. The
loss of her son, the Duke of Edinburgh,
and of her cousin, the Duchess of Teck
and the terrible death roll in South Afri-
ca, have tried the Queen sorely Another
family loss, it is feared, might wrench To
the breaking point the wonderful consti-
tuition and fortitude of Greae Britains
ruler. 1t is said she is already much up
set and strongly DESTROYS to go to the bed
side of her eldest daughter, but the
Queens physicians are endeavoring to
dissuade her.

NEW BIDDER FOR
BUILDING SHIPS
RisdOn Iron Works of San
Francisco a Strong Factor
In Trade now.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. Ion No
vember Is, when bids are opened at
the Naval Department, Washington.
for the construction of battIeships,
cruisers and other war craft, the great
shipbuilding concerns of the country
Will find themselves confronted with
a new and formidable opponent from
the Pacific Coast. The Risdon Iron
Works. the oldest iron manufacturing
firm Inf san Francisco, and with one
exception, the largest, has had force
OF experts at Washington for some
weeks who have been examining the
plans of the new ships and the Risdon
company proposes to submit bids 10
secure contracts to construct Just as
many of the new vessels as it is pos
sible to undertake. The success of the
Risdon Company means much to ev-
cry interest on the Coast, especial y
to the interest of labor. Every aadl-
tionai ship secures employment of at
least thousand mechanics, as 20 per
cent of the cost of "a Government YES
sci Is represented by this amount paio
for labor.
By the purchase of the Pacific Roll
ing Mills, with the thirty acres OF
ground covered by machine shops, fur
naces, fbundries and rolling mills and
with thousand feet of frontage OIL
deep water, the Risdon Company ac-
quired the finest plant for the build
ing of warships on this or any other
coast. 1t will make its own steer
castings, no matter what dimensions
they may be, and eventually will erect
plant for rolling armor plates by

Eastern monopolists.
The site of a great drydock has al
ready been chosen, and the work OF
constructing it will soon commence IL
years time the present establish
ment of the Risdon Company will b.
abandoned and the men and works
concentrated at the Potrero. The pop
ulation OF that Industrial section Wi!
be more, than doubled.
The chances of the Risdon COMPANY
securing "a contract for one or more
of the new vessels is considered ex-
tremely good. If the Pacific Ocean is
to become an American lake the nayaI
force of the Government will have 10
Dc increased many times. 1t is at pres
ent totally inadequate and the naces-
sary increase has to be drawn from II G
Atlantic squadrons. For this reason
IT is understood that the Naval De-
partment is disposed to assist in
pulldlng up a strong concern whose
ABUNDANT facilities would not only per
nit rapid construction of vesse. s. bu.
at the same time act as a needed COM
peutor to the strong pretensions OF

The Union Iron Works now employs
ABOUT 1900 worlInen and the Risdor
Company about 1000 IL the event Of

eminent contracts the Iatrero can rely
upon an immediate Increase to double
Its present population.
