The recent meeting OF the Colorado
Editorial Association at Ouray and the
approaching conrlave Of the Knights
of Pythias at the same place serve 10
call attention to the extra aord mary at
fractions of this wonderfully favored
mountain town.
No place In the state has so taxed the
descriptive ability Of enthusiastic ,is-
itors, or made them realize so forcibly
the poverty of human speech. AS well
might one attempt to describe the fra

others have rocks on which the culors
of the rainbow have been indelibly

visited by the writer are all Of these
attractions so concentrated and on such
a prodigious scale as In the little basin
in which is located Ouray.
Nor are its natural attractions its
only ones. Its hotels are large, modern
and reasonable in their charges, Its
streets wide. clean and well sprlnkled
Its private homes handsome and nu-

Notre Dame. Indiana.

We call the attention of our read
ers to the advertisement of st. Mary's
Academy which appears In another
column of this paper. The 46th year
opens September 4th. 1900. We do not
need to expatiate upon the scholastic
advantages OF st. Mary's for the cata-
logue Of the school shows the scope Of
work included in Its curriculum, which
is Of the same high standard as that
OF Vassar and B.yn Mawr. and is car
ried out faithfully in the class rooms.
We simply emphasize the spirit of ear
nest devotion which makes every
teacher at st. Mary's Loyalty strive to
develop each young girl attendant
there into the truest, noblest, and most
intelligent womanhood. Every advan-
tage of equipment in the class rooms,
laboratories and study rooms. every
care in the matter Of food and cloth
ing, and exceptional excellence of cii-
matte condiitons-all of these features
are found at st. Mary's. in the perfec-
ton of development only to be OBJ
tanned by the conservation of devoted
lives to educational Christian work, in
spot favored by the Lord.-The Fine

AFRICAN sLAV TRADE.
Capture of Negroes tn i6iJ by An
American ships Crew.

American ships Crew.
The story Of the first American voy-
age to Africa, of which We have a
definite record. tells rs somewhat OF
the methods employed in obtaining
savage cargoes. A Boston ship, com
mnnded by one Capt Smith. went
away to Madeira with salt fish and
stayes Sailing thence. with the pro-
ceeds of her sale, she touched on the
coast OF Guinea. for slaves She found
some London slave vessels already
there. with their captains very much
disgruntled because trade was dull.
There were very few slaves for sale
that is. and to liven matters little.
the Yankees and tho Londoners united.
and "on preteuse Of some quarrel with
the natives landed a murderer'-the
expressive name of a small cannon-at-
tackled a negro village on Sunday, kill
ed many OF the inhabitants and made a
few prisoners, two of whom fell to the
share of the Boston ship" That was
In l6i2-just twenty-six years after the
Dutchman landed the slaves In Vir-
ginia, as recorded by John Rolfe. the
first American sguaw man. False pre-
tense. outrage and slaughter of inno-
cents characterized the tirst-recorded
gathering of slaves in which the Amer
lean ship had part. They killed many
of the inhabitants" and got two slaves
for their share of the plunder. That
Capt. Smiths act was not according to
the ordinary usages of the trade may
be inferred from what happened when
he returned to Boston. A quarrel with
the ships owners over the proceeds
of the voyage resulted in a law suit.
The story of the voyage was told in
court, and although II was not a Grim
inal trial. one OF the magistrates
Charged the master with three-fold
offense-murder. man-stealing and
Sabbath breaking" The captain es-
capped punishment on these charges on
the ground that the court had no juris-
diction over crimes committed in
Africa Ia decision that was typical of
what was to Gomez. but the two slaves
were returned home.-'The Slave

The meeting was held last year at

cess Britt is honored this year be-
cause 1t has n large membership In its
local organization, among its honored
members being Senator Thomas A.
Way, Colonel T. A Potter and Colonel
w. +. Bradford. The local organiza-
ttons are known as tourists unions,
and the one at Britt is making eNten-
siye preparations for the convention.
A large number of box cars have been
engaged for the accommodation of the
visitors.
The button worn by the members al
ways Invites query as TO what organ
kation 1t is. A lot of young men in
Illinois conceived the plan of forming
a tramps' union in spirit of fun.
Formulating set of bylaws, they
bought the buttons. advertised the
tourists unions as Il congregation of
tramps for mutual benefit and i'm
provement. the only admission fee be-
ing 10 cents for button. An appli-
cant for membership must be willing
to panhandle a dockie'; he must pre-
fer to ride brake beam 10 a palace
coach. In the same spirit of fun
thousands sent dime and joined the
union, and ii Is the most democratic
society ever known. One of the by
laws forbids giving Il brother more
than 40 cents at "A time, % cents for
food and 10 cents for drink. There
are fifty members OF the union at Britt.

Dom Paui.s Decision.

Not one of the stories of President
Kruger's astuteness in deciding quar-
rels can equal that which tells the way
in which n dispute between two broth
ers as to the division of their inherit
ance was settled. After hearing the ac-
counts of both the brothers he gave his
judgment as follows: LET the elder
brother divide the farm, and let the
younger have the first choice" This
decision is quite worthy to rank with
that Of King Solomon as to the owner

Like the young man in springttme,
whose fancy lightly turns to thoughts
OF love" when Summertime comes We
all turn our thoughts to the consider
alton of the important question Of
where We shall go for rest, recreation
and health.
There are all kinds OF health and
pleasure resorts throughout this broad
land of ours, some of them, unfortu-
nately, anything but what their names
Imply, and apparently operated for no
other purpose than to relieve the in
valid and pleasure seeker, financial

ing rest and recuperation from the
cares OF the business and social world,
as well as the pain racked invalid.
who Is fortunate enough to discover a
place where to4use popular express
sion, he gets his moneys worth
One of the most interesting, pictur-
esque and delightful places in this
country is unquestionably the resort
known as the Magno Mud and Lithia
water Cure, located at Indiana Nine
raj Springs. Indiana. Here come the
overworked business man, the worn
out devotee OF society and the protes-
sionai man on the verge of nervous
prostration. as well as the sufferer
from rheumatism. kidney and skin
diseases for which the baths are es-
pecially beneficial. The place is also
largely patronized by those who only
seek pleasure and recreation. its loca-
ton making it particularly adapted for
this purpose. There are many roman
tic and beautiful spots and places of
interest in the vicinity and 1t would
be hard to find a section OF country
containing so many beautiful drives.
The country is very hilly. but the
roads are all graveled and kept in
good condition. This is one of the
things that makes the place especially
attractive to those afflicted with rheu-
matism. as driving is about the only
outdoor pleasure one crippled with
rheumatism can indulge in. Some OF
the cures effected are really marvel
ous and many who have gone to the
Magno Mud Cure as last resort have
returned home within a few weeks
filled with renewed health and
strength.
The accommodations. service, table
and attendance is all that can be de-
sired and the rates very reasonable
indeed. The Springs is under the able
management OF Major H. L. Kramer
and postal card inquiry addressed
to him will bring complete detailed
information as well as copy OF the
"Mudlavia Magazine" unique and

of nonsense has been written about the
so-called Creole last but the shoe
best adapted to high-class southern
trade does possess certain distinguish
ing features of it's own. 1t is shorter
than the northern shoe. to begin with.
and has much higher instep. The
difference in the instep varies from one
half to one and a half inches, which is
equivalent to saying that man with
a typical southern foot could not get
into a shoe made on a typical nothern
last The Creole model cuts less Of
figure in the trade now than 1t did
formerly, for two reasons. First, peo-
pie wear looser footgear al present
than they used to, and the distinctive
points are not so noticeable, and, sec
ond. an immense number OF northern
folks have come into the south, and
the local manufacturers cater to their
patronage with considerable percent
age OF the factory output. But the ma
tive southern customer still calls for a
short high-arched shoe. In the old
days every southern gentleman had his
boots and shoes made to order, and
the impression is even now pretty gen.
eral that no factory made article can
possibly be as good as the hand-built
wares turned out by the antebellum
craftsman. That is a great mistake.
A high-class. machine-made shoe Is
better than anything produced by hand.
for the reason that the stitching is ab-
solutely uniform throughout. In hand
work no two stitches are of exactly
the same tension, but on the machine
they are as like as so many peas The
result of this uniformity is that the
shoe holds its shape better and lasts
longer. That is one point out OF many.
The only question is that Of being fit-
ted. and lastmaking has been reduced
to such an exact science that there is
no difficulty with any foot not abso-
lutely deformed. New Orleans Times
