Newspaper Comment.
few OF the morning papers comment
upon the appointment of Emperor William

Emperor William and the ruler of Eng

The Post says:
This spontaneous mark OF honor proves
that the suggestion Of certain papers that
the cooiness between the Prince OF Wales
and the emperor would not be without in
nuence on the relations between the two
countries Is destitute of all foundation"

what disposal will be made of the king

Alexandra are devoted to Sandringham. sc
his majesty will probably retain that place
but II is thought Marlborough House will

THERE is some talk, in view of
the recent big stamp robbery in
Chicago and of numerous small
robberies in various parts of the
country, of asking congress to
legislate against the sale of stamps
by anyone not authorized to sell
them by the government, Such a
law would doubtless have a ten
dency to diminish the number of
postothce burglaries, but on the
other hand it would work hard
ship to great many concerns who
now receive numerous small remit
tances in stamps, unless some
system of redemption were pro-
vided at postotfces and subtreas-
uries.

GENERAL CORBINs statement in
his annual report that "All in all
the government has never had
more satisfactory troops than the
volunteers and these troops are en-
titled to the gratitude of the peo-
pie and of the government" comes
as a grateful tribute to the boys
who left office and workshop to
rally round the flag in time of
need. For number of years
there has been decided tendanoy
on the part of the officers of the
regular army to belittle the service
that volunteers would render in
time of war and General Corbin' S
statement comes not only as a
pleasing refutation of the insinua-
tions, but as an evidence of the
wisdom of the American system
of maintaining only small stand
ing army in times of peace and
relying on enlisting volunteers in
case of necessity.

Official Paper of the City.
THE LAW SATISFIED.

Leon Czolgosz, the apostle of
Emma Goldman, the child of
anarchy and the arch-enemy of law
and government, has paid the
penalty and the law is satisfied
But how inadequate the penalty
how uncommensurate with the
crime. Czolgosz' life for McKin-
ley's-the life of a red handed
assassin for that of the chief ex-
ecutive of the greatest nation in
the world! The payment comes
far short of the debt The sacri-
fee of thousand anarchists could
not atone for that one murdereus
deed, and yet Czolgosz is dead
and the law is satisfied
But what of the institution that
sowed the seed which matured and
prompted Leon Czolgosz to barter
his very soul for the accomplish
ment of his murderous purpose.
We believe that from the black
mouth of hell his soul in torment
will scream anathemas at the gov
ernment which allowed existence
to an institution disseminating the
teachings which brought him to
such an end.

Oil Oozing From Weaver Well.

Former Governor Alva Adams
returned last evening from visit
to the new Weaver oil gusher near
the line dividing Fremont and
Pueblo counties. and he is very
enthusiastic over what he saw.
There is oil oozing out of the
pipe" said Mr.. Adams this morn
ing, for saw it Besides there
is coating of oil on the water
flowing from the we'll | am salts
fed that the we'll is plugged and
few feet of drilling will open

that the oil body has already
been opened and the oil that comes
out now oozes past the plug
Aside from the oil, >" continued
the gentleman, Mr. Weaver has
an artesian we'll there worth $l0,-
600, with flow sufficient to irri-
gate two sections of land The
water, which is strongly impreg-
mated with soda and iron, comes up
in the casing. An iron pipe goes
in the center of the casing and
through this the oil rises to the
surface. There are thousands of
acres of fine agricultural land sur
rounding the we'll, which has
water flow equal to those in the
San Juan valley This land, which
is now utilized as a stock range,
only needs water to put it in fine
state of cultivation, and the Wea-
yer well has increased its value
from comparatively nothing to at
least $50 per acre. Hundreds of
cattle line the good sized brook
created by the flow from the well,
the stock being attracted there by
the soda in the water.
The Weaver we'll has developed
the fact that the land in the cen
trail north and west portion of
Pueblo county can now be put
under cultivation by means of
artesian wells All work has stop
ped on the Weaver we'll, which is
about twenty miles a little north

St. Patrick and the Snakes.

1t is related in the earliest Irish an
nails that when the Milesians first
landed in Ireland (about 1000 B. C)
the standard which they bore was a
serpent on crossed staff; and it is
said that this device was stamped by
their King, Emma the Second, on the
first coin of that country. Like all
ancient standards, it was their palla-
dium. protecting from evil and insur-
ing victory over enemies, and as such
borne before them in battle and placed
over the entrance of their dwellings,
like the later White Horse of the Sax
ons and Green Dragon of Wales. The
sacred standard Of the people was, in
fact, simply the representation or SYM
Dol of some idol or deity in whose pro-
tective power they trusted; and that
the Serpent, as well as Bel, or Baal,
was worshipped by the pagan Irish
we have sufficient proof.
Serpent worship was one of the
earliest and most universal religions
of the world. The character and
attributes of the reptile-its STEALTH
ness and malevolence, its venomous
power and mysterious gift of charm
ing, possessed by no other creature
invested it with powerful fascination
for primitive people, and it is proba-
ble that divine honors were first paid
it as a means of propitiating formid-
able enemy. But its most wonderful
attribute was its self-renovating power.
When old and infirm, deaf, blind, and
incapable Of defending itself, it would
suddenly cast off it's worn, out cover
ing, and emerge in rainbow colors and
all the vigor Of renewed life and youth.
Thus it came to he regarded as the
symbol of supernatural wisdom, heal
ing and never-ending life.
1t was probably in the character of
a healer that the serpent was regarded
by the Milcsians, since most of the
localities OF Ireland connected with
traditions Of these reptiles destroyed
| by St. Patrick were esteemed places of
healing. To these spots, generally
holy wells, the people of the poor and
! ignorant classes still resort, as pious
pilgrims seeking relief from their in
iirmities. They drink of the sacred
waters, and circle about the fount on
their knees while repeating their pray
ers, and it is curious fact, as we are
informed by an old time traveller in
Ireland, that this circling was former
ly done "grovelling Oh hands and
knees, or even lying fiat on the ground
and wriggling along like a snake"
This must undoubtedly have been a
relic Of the ancient rites, though the
people had not the slightest idea of its
origin, or even that such religion
had ever existed in their island. In
the same way they still on Reltane
