appearing there in many years; that he had
captivated the musical world of London, and
was likely to arouse equal, if not more. in

contract with Hugo Gorlitz, for many years
manager. of Paderewski, and Kubelik was
brought to America.
Frohman's belief in the attractive power Of
this phenomenal musician has been borne out
by the presence of throngs that have been al
most unparalleled at all the recitals and con-
certs he has given since he made his Amert-
can debut in New York two months ago. His
first two New York concerts drew over 81 ,00O
and at two evening concerts in the Metropoli-
tan opera-house his receipts were nearly SILL
0O0. Three recitals in Chicago, Jan. 16, Is and
%, drew nearly $4,000 and were ATTENDED
by $4,000 people. In St. Louis, Cleveland
Cincinnati and elsewhere it was the same
story Of enormous and delighted audiences
who were aroused to unbounded enthusiasm.
No foreign artist has ever been able before,
on the occasion OF his first American tour, to
draw such houses or receive such attention
from both press and public this young Be-

ference of the Santa Fe railroad with
the divine right of the people of that
state to spell as they please. 1t says:
TT seems that the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe road has adopted the east

it is determined to force it upon the

The company is supported in this by a
decision of the board of geographic
Names an association of federal Of
ficials in Washington who determine
the photography and pronunciation of
different geographic names in the
country under American jurisdiction.
Long ago this board published its
conclusion that Canon city should
be spelled Canyon City" but that
seems to have been about the end of
it. Eastern newspapers have for many
years printed canon" as though it
were canyon" but the people of the
west cling to the correct spelling and
they will probably continue to do so,
whatever the Santa Fe railroad may
say or do to the contrary.
IF travellers on the AtchisOn, Topeka

spell la Junta" as if it were la
Hunta," possibly the management of
that road would order all its time
cards and advertisements printed in
that way.

pronunciation, should be determined

cry broke from her lips; she dropped
the heavy swivel balls; and then, hike

she went past Hamilton and down the
stair.
For perhaps a full minute the man
stood there motionless, stupefied

he followed her. Everything seemed
TO hinder him. When he reached the

Wyoming Democracy for the guberna-

man. who has been identified with the
material development of the state for
at least a decade past. He is able,

and he comes from magnificent stock
His father, James Burnie Beck, who
was congressman and senator from
Kentucky for over thirty years from
1867 to 1890, is stin remembered as one
of the ablest statesman of his period.
The son is worthy of his sire. He has
the same aggressive qualities, the same
ability and possesses suavity and
polish his father sometimes seemed to
lack.
George Beck is probably the most
popular man in northern Wyoming, a
section that has had few honOrs be-
slowed upon it. He win make a great

he should win an easy victory.

THE CORONATION.

IT SEEMS ALTOGETHER probable
now that the coronation of King
Edward VII will occur on Saturday, as
The king reached London
yesterday anu is reported in the press
dispa tches as having been able to leave
the train unassisted. He is far from a
Wen man, but his condition is as IA
vorable as could be expected in a man
of his years who has led the sort of
life from youth that has been his.
The pageant viii not be anything like
as elaborate as would have been the
case had not the kings sudden Illness
upset ali preparations before. Not
only will there not be the display, but
there viii not be the attendance. The
official representatives of the American
government have left the country. as
have those of several other nations,
while the fiocks of sight-seers from the
world over are nearly all gone. Thou
sands of them from every country made
the coronation ceremonies their summer
Mecca. When the king became i'll they
were on the ground and had to be
satisfied with a sightseeing tour that
failed in the principal spectacle. Now
they have long since departed, and
their places cannot be filled by others.
The coronation ceremonies may not be
quite so elaborate as at first planned.
but they will be long enough and te-
dious enough TO satisfy the most ex-
acting monarcbist. And despite the
diminution of the foreign attendance
there will be countless Britishers there
to see.
