He Knew His Friend.

From Lippincott's Magazine ss---'> ts-.' An old German was en ehis deathbed
 In his earlier years he had led a wildt life, but since the death of Schneider, one of his boon companions. he had req formed and given up his bad habits. This* Schneider in his day had been a mightyN drinker, famous for his capacity and ca-n rouses.

First Roosevelt 1904 Club.

From the Denver Republican.
 A movement to help secure the nomina- tion of President Roosevelt in 1904 was launched last evening by a number of leading Republicans of this county and permanent organization was formed The membership .of. the club was limited to Arapahoe county, but similar clubs will be organized in every county in the State, and a central organization will then be formed
 The organizers dwelt upon the good that would accrue to the Republican par ty in Colorado from the spread of such an organization. which could systemati- cally cover each county and by the pres tige and popularity attached to President Roosevelt's name and strength to the party. Many men high in Republican councils were present. and all endorsed the movement as containing nothing not or benefit to the Republican cause. The officers are: President. John w. Springer first vice president, General Irving Hale second vice president ex-Governor James B. Grant; secretary, Robert J. Pitkin treasurer, F. J. Chamberlin.

Superiority of American Girls.

Mime. Sarah Grand in Success , Theschief reason for the superiority of American girls lies, I think, in the American system of edacation They have space freedom and ifberality for in- telectual expansion and the development of character, while our English girls, from the time they cease to be infants until they are married, are subjected to a system of suppression. It is not sur prising that the average English girl is nonentity, who, when she marries. is treated by her husband as an inferior, Some American mothers, I am told, are educating their daughters on the English plan. They are making a grave mistake. woman has her own individual life to lead. Not on the character of her hus- band, if she has one, butt on her own. will she stand or fall. andfbe equal or urf- equal to her many opportunities to weild an influence for good and to the grave responsibilities of. womani.ood- There fore her development T must not be cramped and hindered by the foolish con- ventions of a les enlightened age as in England but must be given plenty of room and encouragementT as sin ,,.the United States.

I am happy toIosaya that while the old-fashioned conventional ideas in regard to young women and their education are dying hard in Englafid newer and more progressive ideas are gaining wider, consideration, While we are far behind the United States in wo- mems colleges. we have two institutions which are devoted to the highest educa- tion of women.

TRYING ]. p. CALVIN.
Witness Testifies to a. Conversation
 Prior to Killing.

Columbus, Miss, November 30. z7-lSpe- cial.l-The second days trial of Joe P. Calvin for the alleged murder of Capt. ". R. Harris on October g last developed some overwhelming testim5ny for the State. se
 Setting aside Galvin's owris testimony nothing was introduced to show that Captain Harris was even armed. Senti- r1ent seems to be growing that it was cold-blooded murder, with no. extenuat- Ing circumstances. Several witnessed the firing but only one could throw light on the conversation which led up to the kill ing.
 10. N. Beard, introduced by the defense stated that he heard one of the men, say: Damn you. you can't treat me that way I'll get a shotgun and blow your head off" He heard the other man say: No you won't-I'll will you, now.' Immedi- ately the firing began. This point illus trated the contention of the prosecution that Calvin was the one who began the 6ifficulty and also that he gave Captain Harris no chance for his life.
 The case will last several days longer as many witnesses are yet to be intro- duced.

COLON'S SURRENDER STUNNED LIBERALS Town is Full of Troops from
 's, Warship iGENERAL ALBAN A HERO
 fe a. Both Panama and Colon Are Quiet. Trains on the Railroads Still
 Carry Armed American
 Guards. #

Colon, November 30.-The town is full of troops from Baranquilla. Over 700 soldiers landed from the gunboat Gen eral Pinzon last night. These belonged in the interior of Colombia and are fine able-bodied men and veteran troops, having taken part in many previous en- agreements. Among them are few of the female relatives of the soldiers E General Alban returned to Panama yesterday afternoon On Thursday by cutting a passage through the woods unknown to Colonel Barrera, who oc- cupied a small hill at Buena Vista, a detachment of the government forces att tackled Barrera's troops in the rear. A cross-fire in both front and rear re- suited in disaster to the attacked and the ultimate surrender of the town. The government lost in the Buena Vista en- gagement Captain Damian Espinoza and several other officers.
 From Panama the news that the sur render of Colon to the government struck the liberals like thunderbolt and that they are still unable to realize the fact that city is again in the hands of the federal authorities.
 Aiban's Achievement.
 General Alban's column, trium phant without the aid of the troops from the gunboat General Pinzon, is regarded here as an achievement that may possi- bly lead him to the highest honors in the service of the republic He was welcomed at the railway station last night by a fha cfx fifr, to the barracks under escort of torch light procession headed by a band Along the line of march many "vivas" were heard, and there was much firing of squibs. The restaurants were open until 10 O clock in the evening for the first time in many months.
 The recapture of Colon is admitted to be a death blow to the liberal cause in this department There is no doubt that guerilla warfare will be resumed in the mountains, but stronger forces and bet ter organizations are considered essential requisites for the liberals if they intend to resume the struggle seriously.
 Colon is Quiet.
 Both Panama and Colon are quiet Trains on the railroad still carry armed American guards and are running on time. The German man-of-war Stein ar rived at Colon last night The steamer Sunrise, belonging to the United Fruit Company, was wrecked at Bocas del Toro in the rough weather of Thursday night
 The troops from the General Pinzon have been taken by train to various points along the line of the railroad where many liberals still remain, for the protection of the road.
 The government censorship has been resumed.

"When We Were Twenty-one."

When Henry V. Esmond wrote When We Were Twenty-One." he conceived one of the best comedies of modern times. and a work that is believed has the true elements of longevity. There are situa- tions in 1t which might with advantage be preserved and handed down to poster ity..
 the theat ergoer of the day enjoys is to gaze at a perfect stage picture, such as every act of this comedy presents, to listen to sparkling dialogue of which the play is composed and to know that there is in the work naught of degeneracy.
 The author chose well the time to lay a play that would interest all manner of men. The most entrancin6 period in any mans life is the day when he realizes that in the sight of the law, as we'll as in the sight of the world, he is twenty-one the age that gives him his inalienable rights of citizenship and when he may for the first time exercise all the prerog- atives of a man grown.
 The. play when here before brought forthS Sall that was human in the audi ence. Smiles and tears intermingled throughout. There is a wholesome nat uralness about the entire production. It Is play for all people. the worthy wise and the religiously inclined. and an ex- traordinaYy stretching of imagination is not required to bring one to realization of the fact that such things as are here portrayed really occur.
 When We Were Twenty-One" will be at the Jefferson Theatre next Saturday matinee and night

Host River"

The spectacular production of Joseph Arthur's pastoral melodrama, Lost River" with scenery and effects the same as were used during the run of six months in New York city, comes to the Jefferson Theatre Monday, DecemT Der g, for two nights and one matinee. The production is said to surpass "Blue Jeans" and requires special scenery and live stock. Thoroughbred horses are used in the dash for liberty down the old Baden toll road and it is said that the scene at the toll gate is thrilling.
 Lost River, in Southern Indiana, rises suddenly at the base of one mountain and after ripping along for six miles. as suddenly disappears in a subterranean tunnel and does not reappear. The seen cry and quaint rural characters of this region are said to be reproduced in Joseph Arthur's pastoral melodrama, Lost River"

Sam S.

Miss Beulah Dodge is again the demure Salvation Army lassie and E. J. Connolly is still playing the part he originated in London of the Senior Bronson. Other members of the company who were seen here last year and will be with the company again this season are Joseph Kane. James Darl- ing. Arthur Deagon, Laura Witt, Mae Sailer, Hattie Wells.

Much Significance Attached to His
Visit to Brunswick Just
at This Time.

Mr.. Robert Kuhn, of Cincinnati
who is spending few days in the city,
was rendered boat ride around
Brunswick's harbor yesterday on the
steamer Hessie by the eff GERS of the
Brunswick s. Birmingham rallroad and
the trip was a very pleasant one.
Mr.. Kuhn expressed himself ss
delighted with Brunswick and her
excellent water facilities, and says
nothing can keep us from being great
port some day. He thinks the building
Of the Brunswick & Birmingham
railroad Is the greatest advance ment
made 10 this section in many years and
says it is sure to be a SUCCESS.
1t is now thought that MIR Kuhn lie
interested in the new road, 1t is a
we'll known fact that he has been
looking over the route, con ferring with
President Maohen, and other things
point to the belief that he is fiuan G ally
interested in the B. & B.
In this connection, it is well to note
that the Kuhns and the Gould interest,
that have created such a stir In Norths
ern Pacific recently have been said to
have their eyes on a transoontinenta
route, and the fact that Edwin Gould
has spent many weeks in this vicinity
since the Brunswick & Birmingham
started, and was here during the oona
ventions, seeing how public feeling
took 1t, caused reports to be spread
that he was interested In the new
road.
Mr.. Robert Kuhn is a member of the
banking firm of 3. Kubn's Sons of New
York, and is well known In the 6nan-
cial w0fli. His visit to Brunswick at
this time is significant OF any rate.
Hs left for his home last night.
