party that the News and Post will not
natural that there should be these
symptoms of unrest, especially among
Democrats who have been Democrats
right along, while Patterson was ca
vorting with Waite and the Populists;
but the senator will probably be able
to whip them all into line as soon as
he is fairly seated in Washington.
A more important measure even than
the Rush bill is the revenue bill which
is now pending in the House. More
than 200 amendments to it have al
ready been proposed; but even yet the
effect of its passage may be estimated
from the following interview with
President Frank Trumbull of the Colo
RADIO & Southern railroad, who was
asked what the prospects are for an
extension of his road up the Platte
canon to Cripple Creek, SO as to give
short line to Denver:
There is not much use in looking
for S2.O0O,00O to be invested in Colora-
do as long as the present revenue bill
is pending, and when it is not known
what the Legislature will do. Capital
lists are not anxious to invest their
money under such conditions"
The speaker was Frank Trumbull,
president of the Colorado & Southern,
Colorado Midland and Fort Worth &
Denver City railroads. He was asked
regarding the construction of the Col
orado & Southern cutoff between Den
yer and Cripple Greek.
while there is plenty of money in
the country, capitalists 10 not care to
make investments in states where tax
alton will work hardship upon them"
continued Mr.. Trumbull. 1T would not
be at all difficult to secure the money
for the construction of the Cripple
Creek cutoff, were it not for the pend
ing legislation. The revenue bill
threatens every investor; it comes hard
upon every investment in Colorado and
every cent of money on deposit in Colo
RADIO. Capitalists know that. Under
the circumstances they cannot be blam-
ed for holding out. Thus far we have
not attempted to raise money for the
cutoff, knowing that until legislation is
settled it would be foolish. The ques-
ton of construction of the cutoff is be-
ing held in allegiance until after the
Legislature has concluded its session"
The Chamber of Commerce has me-
morialized the Legislature in regard to
this bill, in addition to the Real Estate
exchanges, and other bodies whose bus
mess it would seriously affect. If the
measure becomes n law Mt this session
it will be n very ill-considered and i'll
digested enactment.

VALUE OF A GOOD EDUCATION
DR.. Pearsons, the Chicago Philanthropist,
Emphasizes 1t.

DR.. Pearsons, the Chicago Philanthropistr
Emphasizes It.
In connection with a recently pub
lished interview with DIR. ID. X. Pear
sons, known to Colorado people through
his generous gifts to Colorado College
at Colorado Springs, the Chicago Rec
ord says:
-Four things DR.. Pearsons specially
emphasized in his interview: The i'm
portance Of college education for the
young man, whatever his occupation in
life Is to be; the fact that business and
industrial pursuits offer more numer-
GUS and greater opportunities for sue
cess than do the professions; the great
field yet existing in the West for the
young man of education, energy and
little or no capital otherwise, and the
special value of the small college as
compared with the big university. All
of these points he fortifies in his inter-
view with information and argument
highly interesting. His expressions in
support of the proposition that a col
lege education should be sought by all,
no matter what their aims in life, are
particularly worthy of applause. He
says in part: whether a young man
is to be farmer, a mechanic an cleo
trician or a railway man, he should
first of all be college man. Some say
college training is unnecessary to the
man who tills the soil, but l say that
If man is to be n farmer his quick =
way to success is to start in college.
-Four years there and six years more
teaching school will make young man
able to buy IL farm and start in his call
ing right. The man who follows this
course is farmer who can take ad-
vantage of all the opportunities offered
to him. We need educated farmers for
public offices, and the right sort of po-
litical preferment will come first to the
college-bred man If he is morally
sound"

Evolution of a Genius.


Professor Pupin, who has suddenly
become known as one of the greatest
electricians of the age, has had n ro-
mantle career. He is n native of Ser
via; his family We're of humble station,
and he came to this country an ordi-
nary emigrant while a young man,
obtaining employment as n masseur in
n Turkish bath establishment in New
York city. His leisure time was spent
in the qualification of n natural taste
for study, particularly mathematics.
One of the professors of Columbia uni
versity, who was in the habit of patron
izing bathrooms in which he was en-
ployed, was astonished to discover his
masseur engaged in solving an alb
struse problem in higher mathematics.
Becoming interested in the young man,
he obtained for him scholarship in
the university, where Pupin completed
his education, and upon taking his de-
gree was appointed a tutor and after
ward n professor of mathematics. In
the meantime he married young lady
of wealth and social prominence, who
has furnished him means to conduct
his experiments. He promises to be
the foremost mathematician of his gen

Coal Strike Committees Report.

The joint committee of the Senate
and House to investigate the coal strike
has made its report, which occupies

committee were: MessrS. l.. A Tan
quarry, chairman; Frank A. Moore,
John A. Martin, Charles +. Ward, John

stitutional amendment bill.
9. An anti-screen law.
3. Senate bill No. 300 in regard to
ventilation.
4 House bill No. 315, by Mr.. Galley,
regulating the manner of weighing
coal.
.. Senate bill No. 81, or, if the Legis-
lature determines that the same may
be unconstitutional, then in lieu there
of that Senator Stewards constitutional
amendment bill relating to n two
weeks pay day be passed.
6. The passage of either Senate bill
bills relating to trusts.
Z. Legislation preventing pooling be-
tween competing lines of railroad with
in the state.

1t has been remarked in connection
with the late Lord Armstrong as not
little singular that while he was the
founder of Elswick, the arsenal of the
north. member of another branch OF
the same family was the founder OF
the royal arsenal at Woolwich in 1716.
This was John, a scion of the Liddes-
dale Armstrong;, who became a very
celebrated military officer and engi-
neer, serving with the highest reputa-
tion under the duke of Marlborough
and Prince Eugene.

You hear these words every day; as

Mrs. Ella Rice, of Chelsea, Wis,
whose portrait we publish, writes that
she suffered for two years with bear
ing-down pains, headache, backache,
and had all kinds of miserable feelings,
all of which was caused by falling and
inflammation of the womb, and after
doctoring with physicians and numer-
Gus medicines she was entirely cured by

The state board of capitol managers
will reverse one of the policies of the
last administration. For the last two
years the positions of janitors, watch
men and the like have been given out
largely for political influence. From
now on, according to the decision of
the board, politics, save in n very linn
tied degree, will not be permitted to
enter into the selection of employees at
the state capitol under the supervision
of the board of managers. The present
force will be kept so long as 1t is etii-
cient.
There is bill before the Legislature
to establish the southern boundary of
Colorado. Congress has fixed that
boundary on the thirty seventh parallel
and the line was marked by monu-
ments, but it is claimed that monument
No. Z has been removed three-quarters
of n mile south of that parallel and the
consequence is that residents of New
Mexico vote in Colorado, besides the
civil and criminal jurisdiction of Colo
RADIO courts over the intervening terri
4 tory is in doubt. The bill provides for
a survey between monuments and s
to ascertain where the original line, or
& the thirty seventh parallel really is.
In regard to the Colorado Springs
! coal fields the coal strike committee re-
ports as follows: Your committee,
upon its return from the southern coal
} fields, stopped off at Colorado Springs,
and there heard the testimony of the
coal miners who We're out on strike.
1t appeared that ninety-fve per cent.
| of the men belonged to the United Mine
| Workers. They had different griev-
ances, which they explained to the
| committee. The owners of some of the
properties We're present while the men
We're testifying. 1t appeared that no
| ill-feeling existed between the employ
ers and employees. After hearing the
miners side we notified the companies
they would be heard, but they pre-
ferred to wait and give their testimony
before the committee in Denver. Be
fore such hearing was had the compa-
MES and the employees effected an ami
cable settlement, and your committee
does not deem it wise or necessary to
make any further report regarding that
field"
An immense mass meeting was held
in Trinity NJ. Il. church at Denver,
Sunday night, February Oath. to en-
dorse the precinct option bill intro
duced by Senator Philip. Every seat,
for the members of the Legislature
who had promised to be present. was
filled. The aisles were packed and the
crush at the entrances was so great
that it was found necessary to open
Unity church for an overflow meeting,
which was presided over by Rev. David
Utter and Former Mayor T. S. McMur-
ray. Most of the speakers who ad-
dressed the principal meeting at Trinity
went to Unity church and repeated
their speeches. Among the speakers
We're the Rev. DIR. Cobern, pastor of
Trinity church; Mrs. Helen Grenfell,
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton; the Rev. VIM. O'Ryan, Lieutenant
Governor ID. G. Coates, and others.
Strong resolutions We're passed appeal
ing to the members of the General As

that as many as possible of those pres
ent should write personal letters to

LIVE WASHINGTON NOTES.

II all the representatives in Congress
of all the states that would be affect
ed by the passage of an arid land bill
could get together and agree ON some
measure, the chances in favor of its
passage would be good; but they never
yet have been able to get together; and
they are not much more likely to do SO
than the representatives of Arapahoe
county in the Colorado Legislature are
apt to get together on any bill vitality
affecting the interests of the city OF
Denver. A substantial agreement has
been reached by the majority of them.
along the lines suggested by Repre-
sentative Mondell of Wyoming. Mr..
Shafroth protested, and several other
members from the "arid states' are
out of line but Mr.. Mondell and his
friends are trying hard to get some
thing for irrigation, and if they have
not been too much hampered by their
kicking colleagues they may succeed.
Some of the comments made about
the Russian incident recently would
men supposed that Secretary Gage en-
acts the tariff laws of the United States
and varies them to suit his Individual
whim and pleasure. Among the laws
of Congress is one imposing n duty on
importations of beet sugar from for
eign countries-a law designed to favor
the growth of the American beet sugar
industry. Some beet sugar has been
imported from Russia. The secretary
of the treasury, the matter being
brought to his attention in the routine
way, decided that the law must be al'
piled to Russian as well as German
and other imported sugars. He did
not make the law, nor has the ability
or the power to change it or alter any
part of it. If there is to be any friction
with Russia as the result of the beet
sugar tariff, 1t will be the fault of the
law-making body. and not of the sec
retary of the treasury. However, no
trouble is likely to result at all.
An extra session does not now seem
so probable as it did week ago. The
Philippine matter has apparently been
disposed of by making the Spooner bill
an amendment TO the army appropria-
ton bill, and it may be that no other
matters will be so pressing as to make
it necessary, in the Presidents opin-
ion, to call the Congress together
again. Still, if the Cuban constitution
is adopted, and in such a way as to
require Congressional action-as seems
likely-the President will perhaps he
compelled TO call an extra session.
Speaking of rhe Spooner bill. the an
tics of the anti-imperialsts in regard
to it have been very amusing. The bill
is drawn almost exactly in the same
language as the bill vesting discre-
tionary power in the President at the
time of the Louisiana purchase. Under
its provisions, President Mckinley
will not be bit more of n dictator
over the Philippines than Jefferson was
over the Louisiana region nearly a
hundred years ago. imperialism
worked well for the Louisiana territory
it will probably work just Is vol
for the Philippines.

which was built at Stettin and recently
sailed for Japan, has so far given the
greatest satisfaction. The system OF
ventilation is so perfect. it is asserted.
that during her passage of the Red sea

Captain Cotton of the Norfolk navy
yard has made report on the damage
sustained by the torpedo-boat Ericsson
on Jan. 2, when she touched bottom in
the Delaware and Chesapeake canal,
while the water was low and the ice
thick. The known damage is a bent
propeller. Orders have been issued for
the docking of the boat at Norfolk
and it is expected that she will soon
be in readiness to join the torpedo flo
lila which will accompany the north
Atlantic squadron on its winter cruise.

crowd of half-naked children, is one
OF the most picturesque figures in this

In Scotland the halfpenny is called
a "bawbee." but how it came to receive
that name is not matter of common
knowledge. 1t appears that the first
attempt at the portraiture of the un-
fortunate Mary, queen of Scots, was
made in her earliest infancy, and her
wee face was engraved upon the
Scottish halfpennies at the time of her
coronation in 1543. when she was but
months old. a number of these
small coins are still preserved, and it
will be easily understood that the
name "bawbee," or baby, was origin
ally given to the coin bearing the
baby's effigy.

Miss Jane Schroeder, who has Just
died in Essex, Conn, has left what is
called in sporting parlance 1000
bones" to two dogs which she had
picked up on the streets. During her
65 years of life Miss Schroeder lived
in tumble down shanty and devoted
her days to visiting the sick of the
town and picking up stray dogs and
cats. During one of these missions she
picked up child and adopted her as
daughter, Greatchen Schroeder, as the
child is called, will inherit what re-
mains of the $1,000, should the dogs
die before she does.

the island of Maui not long ago for
the first time in ten years the steam
ship which carried her was surround

kinds, fruits, vegetables, fowls and
even pigs. There was music, dancing,
a great feast, and the whole steamship
was decorated with their garlands.

prohibitory law was recently un-
earthed by plumbers in house in
Rutland, VT. The liquor, stored in a

pipes to radiator in one of the prin-

faucet attached to the radiator was the
means by which the liquid was drawn
