A LIFE LOST
IN LEONARD
JOHN LENIOr-SE ALMOST IN
STANTLY KILLED BY A FALL
OF GROUND.
ACCIDENT OCCURRED
EARLY THIS MORNING.
The Unfortunate Mans Partners Had
No
The Unfortunate Mans Partners Had
Narrow Escapes From
Like Fate.

John Leniouse. a miner, who has been
employed for some time at the Leonard
mine, is the latest victim whose life mas
been sacrificed upon the altar OF copper
The accident is rendered doub!y sad by
reason of the fact that by the death of
I.eniouse his wife and two small children
are left almost penniess without pros
tector
The accident which had so unfortunate
a termination occurred about l o'c'o x
this morning. In company With several
other workmen. Leniouse was engaged in
blasting on the twelfth level of the mine.
A heavy blast had just been placed and
discharged, and the men We're engaged
in clearing the debris away when a
cave-in occurred.
1t seems that there was large
mass of earth and rock which had
been loosened by the blast. and while
Leniouse was working directly under
meath this mass it tore foose ana fell on
him, almost burying him from sight.
Thomas Weathers. Charles Napson AM:
John Martin, who were near Leniouse
when the cave-in occurred, ha l narrow
escapes from a similar fate.
The weight of earth and rock was
removed from the unfortunate man a,
speedily as possible, but he lived only a
short time after he was extricated from
his position. His chest was crushed in
and he received several internal In
juries.
The remains We're removed to Rich
ards undertaking parlors. where an IN
quest will be held by Coroner johnson
on Monday evening at 1880 O'Clock.
The home of the deceased is in East
Broadway alley.
There is one popularity in the in
juries received by Leniouse which has
! been puzzle to the undertakers. Over
| the left hip and near the spinal column
is punctured wound extending inward
for several inches. 1t is too small to
have been made by pick or my any
thing larger in diameter than common
lead pencil.
Mr.. Dunshee stated this afternoon tina,
no cavern had occurred at the mine
but that the dead man. with two COM
panions, was engaged in picking down
the back to make room for set of tim
| bers when a mass of rock, weighing owe:
half {. ton, fell from the back and struck
! Leniouse on the body.

object Lesson in woman Suffrage.

OUIdkN qAAghnQn III " UAAd4 2hAAA o
l have been greatly amused when
reading the newspapers during the
past few weeks to note the serious
object lessons that various editors
have drawn from the fact that a
Colorado Judge has declared the law
unconstitutional which prohibited
saloon keepers from selling spirituous
liquors to women. With few excep
tions this has been used in the news
papers as an argument against wo-
man suffrage and as showing the
effect of it, They editorially will
close with such questions as this:
"Will it be any better for politics to
be controlled by drinking women
than by drinking men?" One would
suppose that it was owing entirely to
the fact that women were prohibited
from drinking in the saloons that
they were not constant patrons of it
and that now since they had equal
rights in the saloon as well as at the
ballot box, they would improve the
opportunity and become class of
drunkards.
If there is any lesson to be drawn
from this decision Of the Colorado
Judge, It's to show the beneficial effect
Of woman suffrage, for if the women
were once so much worse than the
men that it was necessary to enact a
law forbidding saloon keepers selling
them intoxicants and at the same
time sell it to men, they have GER
tainly been greatly benefited by vot-
ing as it is now considered safe to
abolish this restriction.
The only two conclusions that can
be drawn from this libellous law is
either that the women of Colorado
were phenomenally dissolute at one
time or that the Legislators who en-
acted this law were phenomenal
fools. While women are not without
their faults, at no time in the history
of this nation have they been charge
able with drunkenness, and for set
Of men to enact laws forbidding sa-
loon keepers selling to women and at
the same time allowing them to sell
to the men who ere the drinkers,
makes one think Of the prayer Of
DR.. Lyman Beecher when he saidi
80, Lord, grant that we may not de-
spise our rulers; and grant, o, Lord,
that they may not act so we can't
help itp'
It is high time that Colorado re-
moved from her statute books this
libellous law upon the women Of the
state.

Commissioner of Patents Allen
has just had to perform a duty that
was as disagreeable as it is rare in
the government service-to recon-
mend the dismissal of a prominent
official for theft The dismissed Of
fetal was Edward V. Shepard, who
has been chief clerk of the patent
Office since June, 1898 The amount
stolen was the trifing sum of $s9. O5
but money has been stolen from
letters received by the patent Office
for a long time past and the thief
had gone undetected In a public
statement, Commissioner Allen
said; "An investigation was made
to determine who had taken these
funds, resulting in my being fore ed
to the conclusion by tile character
of the evidence produced that no
others could have done it and that
the chief clerk of this office had
taken them. 1 then recommended
to the secretary the dismissal of the
chief clerk and it was done" The
chief clerk was bonded for $4,000
and the government will lose moth.
ing by his theft. Whether he will
be criminally prosecuted or not has
not been definitely determined

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

fFrom Our Regular Correspondent)
wAsHMaroN d. G AUG. 10, 1901.
European press comments upon
American policy, or what the Euro
pean editors regard as such, are al
ways more or less amusing, but
those cabled over alleging TINT the
present revolution and war between
Colombia and Venezuela--it seems
TO be a combination of both-has
been instigated by the government
of the United States for the purpose
of opening the way for an excuse
to take forcible possession of the
Isthmus of Panama, are more than
amusing-they are ridiculous. The
European editors write nf the gath
ering of great fleets of American
warships on both sides of the 18TH
mus, when, as matter of fact
there isn't a single warship within
ten days sail of either che Atlantic
or the Pacific side of the Isthmus,
and only three, two small vessels
and the battleship Iown. have been
ordered to Panama waters, and
neither Secretary Hay nor Acting
Secretary Hackett, both of whom
are familiar with the situation on
the Isthmus, has any idea that
either of them will have any seri-
ous work to do after they get there,
which will probably not be before
the first week in September Pub
lications in our own yellow journals
are in a measure responsible for the
misinformation of European editors
Our own people know how much
their wild statements are worth I;
the Europeans do not.

neat sum of s28 was added to the
fund treasury. The music was
especially good as a glance at the
names of those who participated
will abundantly certify. The pro-
gramme was as follows:

sufficient study to maintain and
augment habits of application. The
name "Yapeechu" is Indian for
