An unaccepted Imitation.

The Rochester Post-Express says that
when Edward VII. as Prince OF Wales,
was about to visit Niagara Falls Blondin
had a rival. one Signor Farini, who was a
character. He issued an advertisement
urging that the prince make his initial
entrance to the great and glorious United
States In striking manner. According
ly he proposed that he should wheel the
prince in wheelbarrow over a tight
rope across the gorge to the United
States. an entrance that would be unpar-
alleled Then the notice adds. "Should
any accident happen to his highness
whereby he should happen to he precipi-
tated to the gulf below tof which I as
sure you there is little danger), the mon
ey taken from the spectators shall be re-

are indications that he is going 10 de-

cast by the different groups of the So

much greater in 1904. AS the sort of

Steps have already been taken to or.

have caught the fever and the chances
are the Cheyenne Indians will have a

the start.
Yesterday Captain Lewis of the Han

Cheyenne with six players from the

WYOMING LIVE STOCK INDUSTRY

The live stock industry in Wyoming
during the year just closed made rapid
strides, but along different lines than
formerly. The year witnessed the
closing up of the affairs Of a number of
the large range concerns that did a
thriving business a few years ago
when there were no settlers fences to
dispute their rights-of-way on the pub
lie domain. The big herds of the big
concerns have been replaced by the
small lunches of cattle and horses of
the small -ranChman, and the change
has resulted in the legitimate settle
ment of more land and has brought
abou a better condition of affairs all
around. The forcing out of business
of the big range outfits brought about
the same condition among the sheep
men. A few years g the big owners
ranged their flocks in almost any part
OF the state. They owned no ranches
n the sheep wagon was heir home.
When the weather would permit the
hocks were driven to the parks and
plateaus of the mountains, where ex-
cellent feed was to be had and in the
winter they returned to the valleys and
ranges along the streams that remain-
ed untouched during the summer. All
flockmaster who does not control a
range of his own, either under fence or
protected by n lease, is out of luck.
During the past year the scramble
for land, on the part of the sheepmen
and cattlemen, resembled the rush for
homesteads on a newly opened strip of
lane in Oklahoma. All sorts of meth
DDS were adopted to secure land, but
the most effective of these we're the
reservoir site filings and purchase with
soldiers and sailors homestead scrip.
Scrip dealers have done a thriving
business during the past year, one
Cheyenne agent alone reporting that
he had sold scrip covering over 200, 900
acres. This scrip cost the cattleman
n sheepman from - to IS pei acre,
and he used it most judiciously. In
most cases sections of land bordering
a stream were purchased, thus giving
the owner the free use of the water and
of little value the tracts of
1ano back Of and not fronting on a
stream. Some sheepmen and cattle
men and companies have been known
to take up as many as 100 sections of
land, ALL facing a stream, and by SO do
ing control many thousands Of acres.
Land in Wyoming is valueless, even
&c. grazing, unless water is available.
If this plan OF the stockmen is pur,
sued for another year the arid land
problem, as far a. Wyoming is con
lo Sned, will have been solved. Plenty

THE ERA.

When Victoria was crowned it re-
quired from thirty to forty days tn

quired several months to send the
news to India and Australia. When
she died, by the clock the news was
known in New York several hours be-
fore her death. and people who left
New York on the day the queen died
will reach London in time to attend
the obsequies.
The miracles of steam and electri.
city were perfected during her reign.
The world was reduced in size; the
oceans were circumsCribed; the con
tinents narrowed. All her subjects the
world around can, 81 to speak, attend
her funeral; that is, at the same hour
the services can in every land be read,
the prayer pronounced, and the same
music rising at the same moment can
fill the air the world around with the
pathetic melody. In material progress
more was accomplished during her
reign than had been accomplished in
a thousand previous years. For all
time the years of her reign will be re,
ferred to as the Victorian era" for
the mighty achievements of those
years give to them a special signifi'

The steamship.
The perfected railroad.
Anesthetics to do way with pain.
Labor-saving machines to reduce
the toll of men.
The Punishment of slavery from all
civilized nations.
The perfecting press, making it pos

The electric light and motor.
The perfection of manufactures to

Dinner was being served at the
bungalow of the consul-general at
Bankok.
The omnipresent punkab waved
noiselessly overhead, cooling the even
ing air. which was heavy with the
odor Of the lotus flowers. The guests
conversed gaily in languages foreign to
their own, for a fluent tongue Is essen

The men, and the women, too, with
one exception were dressed in spot
less white. This exception proved to
be the most beautiful woman in the
room. Perhaps. as she had passed the
heydsy Of her youth, she considered
her black gown as more appropriate,
and the fact that the absolute purity OF
her skin shone with exquisite beauty
against that gown was beyond argu-
ment.
There was a lull In the conversation.
