Madam. c.,...... Piano a.e,..l.

The recital given by the Ladies
Aid Society OF the Christian
church last Monday evening was
a success in every way.
The selections given by Won
derly's Orchestra were we'll render
ed and appreciated by the audience,
as was Mr.. Parents violin solo,
"Annie Laurie" and the encore
number, intermezzo from Cavalera
Rusticana."
Miss Peale always pleases her
hearers, and this was especially
true on this occasion when she
sang a beautiful selection from
"Mignon. Her response to the
encore. which followed was also
well received.
Miss Myrtle Lynn's solo was
one that seemed to suit her hear
ers, and her voice is of that pleas
ing quality that creates desire to
hear her often. We hope this is
only the beginning of Miss Lynn's
career as a vocalist in our town.
And now we come to the chief
attraction of the cccasion-that
incompatible artist, Madame Ce-
leste. To say that her playing
was a surprise and revelation to
the large and fashionable audience
that gathered to hear her is stating
it mild, and does not in any way
express the feeling of her audience.
Her first selection was LISTS
Conterto in Z fiat. one of the most
difficult of all compositions to rem
der correctly. The marvellous exc
cution displayed ir this perform
ance showed at once and conclu-
sively that a master hand was here,
and that an artistic of the first rank
presided at the piano.
Her other numbers were equally
well rendered. Perhaps the best
received OF the evening was her
transcription of "Old Folks at
Home" while the limitations of
banjo, music box and fife and
drum were ceretainly unlocked for
as coming from piano, and re-
ceived liberal applause. Taken
as whole we fail to see how the
playing of the Madame could be
improved upon.

"lrish pawnbrokers."

"The Irish Pawnbrokers, the
farce comedy to be presented at
the La Junta Theatre, Thursday
evening, October goth, is de-
scribed as play designed to pro-
mote side shaking laughter and a
contagion of fun. The new and
catching title is an indication of
Its original and humorously infec-
tious composition. 1t deals with
new subject in a unique way
and appeals forcibly to that large
and intelligent class of theatre
goers who prefer to shed tears of
laughter over comical actions,
sayings and songs rather than
weep over sombre and pathetic
melodramatic representations OF
misfortunes in real life. This
farce is braceT-a genuine conf
cal elixir.

Refuses to Up Possession.

The supreme court last Wednes-
day heard arguments in :he Ar
kansas valley water case, wherein
the purchasers of water rights in
La Junta and Lamar canal are en-.
endeavoring to retain control oi
the canal under the terms OF their
contracts and the decision of the
district court. The lower court
upheld the clause in the contracts
which provides that when all the
water rights in the ditch have been
sold, the company must turn con
troll of the ditch over to pur.
chasers.
Appeal was taken to the SUI
preme court by the ditch company,
which was represented by c. ].
Hughes, Jr., and Tyson S. Dimes.
Their contention was that while all
the rights had been sold, there
was still water capacity in the
ditch which had not been disposed
of. The water users, represented d
by Platt Rogers and Charles l..
Cast of Pueblo, contended that
this alleged capacity was imagi.
nary, or at least only theoretical,
and that water had not been pro.
vided to supply it. The case was
taken under advisemenf.

The Play "Th.im.."

Marie Correlli's popular boo X
"Tbelma," has been re-written
in dramatic form and will be
produced at the La Junta Theaue,
Monday evening, October 27th.
rhe dramitization brings into life
the most prominent of the cbarac-
teIs found in the novel and they
are said to lose none OF their
strength and virility in the many
changes OF time and place peces-
sary to produce dramatic effect.
The discrepancies are claimed to
be few and the plot pretty and
impressive one.
A short outline Of the play may
prove of more than ordinary IN.
terest to our readers. The first
act presents the Alten Fjord in
midsummer. where two English
visitors, Sir Philip Errington and
his friend, George Lorimer, NEE.
Olaf Guldmar, the Viking, and his
daughter, "Thelma," Errington
falling IN love with "Thelma. u
The next shows the famous Nor.
wegian waterfall, Njedezgorze, al
the base OF which Errington de-
cIares his love and is accepted by
"Thelma." The third act rs laid
in London, in Sir Philip Erring-
toms home. Lady Winsieigh, a
former sweetheart of the English
knight. determines to win him
again ana accordingly lays a plo,
to get rid Of "Thelma." With the
support OF Violet We're, a ballet
girl, she convinces "rhelma" that
her husband Is false. "Thelma''
cannot bear disgrace and fees to
her old home in Norway. The
last act shows again the Alien
Fjord, this time in midwinter with
the appearance Of the northern
lights and the "Rainbov Bridge
the latter, according to Morse
mythology. being the summons Of
the VaIkyerie. "Thelma" arrives

what Theodore Roosevelt Says.

The article on "The Presidency"
by Theodore Roosevelt, to be pub
lished in the November 9th issue
Of the YOUTHS CoMPANIoS, will be
of great public interest. When
the article was written Mr.. Roose-
welt had not even been nominated
for the Vice Presidency.
Nothing was then further from
his thoughts than that he would SO
soon exercise the great powers
which are intrusted to the Presi.
dent Of the United States.
In view of the circumstances the
article possesses an importance
more than ordinary, and it will be
eargerly looked for. The number

FATALITIES CAUSED BY RAILROAD OPERATION.

Discussing the accidents caused by the development
of railroad service the Baltimore Sun observes that the
conditions under which American railways work are
very different from those of the railways Of the Old
World is well understood. European roads were built
originally through thcky settled and were at
great expense obvate grade crossings whereas the
American railroads often in advance Of population
cheapy built because traffic light and took
little account Of crossings because they in
cases little used English roads for example fenced
in while few American roads protected. The
vast extent of our railway mileage it difficult
provide fences which were always clearly necessa
ry. Still would seem that record Of killed and
railways rather large in comparison
with the English record and gives Mr. H. A Walker of
the Northwestern railway, Of England, opportunity
for invidious comparisons. In recent report Mr..
Walker who has been visiting and studying our
methods says: will be seen from the figures that
American companies have nothing boast of in the
safety of their passengers employees, On the con-
tTary, human life be considered Of much less
importance there than here, and I of the opinion
that in this respect the British railway officials have
nothing whatever TO learn from their American con,
freres"
The reports of our Interstate Commerce Commission
are to the same effect British railways killed
passenger in 1901 while railways killed 158 Taking
in employees as well passengers and Others recent
Official report showed $4,000 killed in year. The
New York Evening Post compares the carnage of the
AngloBoer IN the three years ended June So 1900
and finds that the British loss $4,000, including
deaths from disease But in the three years Amer
lean railways killed 21s47, does that rush
of business Notwithstanding special position q
new country might be conducted with loss of life not
nearly equal to that of great If compared with
the casualties Of recent Spanish war the annual
