virginia's New Constitution.

Richmond, Va May % The
Virginia constitutional convention,
which reasse mbled today after q
recess of six weeks, is not expected
to remain long in session as its
work is practically completed. 1t
remains only to be decided whether
the new instrument shall be sub
mitted to the people or shall be
proclaimed as the fundamental
law of the state 1t is probably
the latter course will be adopted,
though in any event its adoption Is
assured The chief feature of the
new constitution is the clause
relating to suffrage, the effect of
which will be to practically remove
the negro vote ms a disturbing
factor in politics. Another i'm

FUNSTON GETS A DIG

Washington, May % Senator
Hoar of Massachusetts this morn
ing attacked the administration s
policy in the Philippines. He
stated that they looted the treasury
of S6O0,000,000 and gave up the
lives Of 10000 Americans and slain
uncounted thousands of tue people
we should protect, We had
made an enemy of the people
who only three years ago would
have kissed the hem of our
garments. All that had been ac-
complished in the Philippines was
that few thousand children had
been placed in the schools. He
complimented the American army,
but denounced Funston's methods
in the capture of Aguinaldo. He
said that Cuba had been made a
free and independent republic and
the Philippines should be treated
likewise.

TO RECLAIM ADDITIONS.
City Attorney Instructed to Bring
i'm Undecided Lands.

City Attorney Meserve about
month ago was instructed by the
city council to proceed with meas
ures for redeeming the divisions
and additions situated within the
confines of the city limits and
from which the city is not deriving
penny from taxation, from the
fact that they have never been
decided to the town of Florence,
and which at the same time derive
the benefits and advantages of city
water, electric lights, graded streets
and other advantages which accrue
10 city property
1t is the intention of Mr.. Me
serve and the city to have these
additions brought in. Some of
them in question were decided to
the city, out about two years ago
were Withdrawn Since then it
has been learned that the courts
have declared such an act uncon-
stitutional and now an effort will
be made to have the land redeemed
so that the city may be enabled to
pay some of its debts from the
taxation which would accrue there
from.
Just west of Santa Fe avenue is
large block of ground which in
recent years has become very val
liable and of course were it part
of the city the taxes would be
equal to those imposed on sur
rounding property, and the city
would derive revenue to take care
of its accruing Indebtedness. This
land is in the very heart of the
town, and yet no city taxes can be
collected just because it has not
been decided

Ellsworth Plumstead .

There was a pretty good attendance at
the Methodist church last night to hear
and see Ellsworth Plumstead, the imper-
senator. 1t is quite safe to say that those
who went to SEQ him were even more
pleased than these who heard him, al
though there was no kick coming on the
manner Of his recitation. He is certain
ly all that is claimed for him, although
last night he evidently suffered some
what from cold. His portrayal OF the
"Young Man Waited" was certainly fine,
as was also "The Other Oas was Booth"
MIR. Plumstead has one Of the most re-
markable faces so far as expression is
concerned, that has been seen in this
city in long time. Without any effort
he would depict sorrow, JOY, fright, sur
prise, anger, ETC., leaving no doubt upon
the minds Of his audience that he was
master Of every muscle in his counte-
nance.
Mr.. Plumstead was assisted in his pro-
gram by several local people with mu
sical selections. Among them was q
solo by Arthur Warwick and also one by
Mrs. Corrinns Abbey. Tho singing was
especially good. Mrs. Abbey sang "a
Dream" in splendid style. followed by ali
encore always" The latter WAS per.
haps even more pleasing than the first,
but both we're very we'll rendered.

LOOKING AHEAD
J. R. McKinnie and William
Gelder Here to Measure the
Situation in Relation to
Sugar Factory.

j. K. McKinnie, OF Colorado Springs,
aud William Gelder, the latter well
known IN this city, are here for the pur-
pose of looking over the field in relation
to the sugar factory, and see what can
be done with same. In fact they ere
here, as MIR. Mchinnie says "to measure
the situation and see what can be done.'
Mr.. Gelder was for many years located
at Glenwood Springs and is we'll known
to many OF our citizens He has not
been engaged in anything but mining
for the past few years, but in this he has
made a success and it is hoped that Mr. .
Gelder can see sufficient in the future of
the factory in this city to promote new
management for same.
In a conversation had with Sentinel
reporter Mr.. McKinnie said he had no
definite plans as yet for the future Of
the factory, but he was strongly hopeful
OF securing it's reopening again.
In speaking o: Grand junction Mr..
McKinnie said he thought there was .
great future in store for this city and
that few years or yet few months
might see marvellous changes here.

Catholic Social and Concert.

There has been no occasion this win
ter Of a similar character, perhaps, which
has drawn such large crowd OF people
to the Armory hall as did the concert
and social given by the choir of the Ca
tholic church, under the direction of
Father Conway. There was only one
drawback to the entire entertainment
and even some OF the grown people in
the audience were allowed to run across
the hall continually throughout the per
formance Of all the parts, which made 80
much confusion that those who desired
to listen were unable to hear half of
what was being said or sung. There
was, perhaps. only one selection which
the writer was able to hear distinctly
land many others expressed the same
opinion) and that was the vocal solo by
Mrs. Ollie Roberts Boyer. There was
hush throughout the room during the
entire singing OF this piece and hearty
applause followed it. Mrs. Boyer sang
two selections.
One especially enjoyable selection was
the recitation of Longfellow's king
Robert OF Sicily" by Mrs. Marguerite
FuIte, accompanied by Miss Zerwas on
the piano. Mrs. Fuite was formerly
Miss Bowling and is well known as a re-
citationst
The choir selections were very well
rendered and heartily applauded. The
choir WAS composed OF twelve voices.
Jack Conley's solo was most enjoyable.
Mr.. Conley is favorite with the people
OF this city when it codes to singing,
and he certainly has delightful voice.
One OF the laughable parts OF the pro-
gram was an Irish jig, danced by Mr..
McCue and Mrs. Ryan. 1t furnished a
great deal of fun for the audience and
hard work for those who participated iu
the dance.
1t would not do to stop without saying
good word about the solo and dance by
Little Ella Drummey, who has sweet
voice and can dance with a grace that
would cause some OF the older ladies in
the audience to envy her.
After the program there we're refresh
ments and an ample supply for all. The
service was good and everyone was
pleased.
OF course, in this city. nothing would
be complete unless it wound up with
dance; so, after the guests had finished
luncheon, the tables were cleared away
and the dancing began. 1t was in the
early morning before the guests had all
departed and everyone Of them would no
doubt have been glad to have gone to
another entertainment OF the same ma
ture right over again.

j. A. McCuiloch, agent in this city OF

that today is the 50th anniversary Of the

There is small engraving Of the pony

express matter was sent across the plains
through to the coast. Then comes the
mail coach, then the steamboat and tho

OF the manner OF transportation are not

The two who did win started at such prices
that they ran for the ring rather than Tor

Dwyer colt Ethics the top weight and IA
vorite in field of five horses, Tom Kenny
being the next best backed. Most critics
agreed after the race that Ethics should
have won. but he did not manage the task
set for him, partly through the oyerconn-
dence of the Whitney rider, T. Burns. who
had the mount, but more because of the
skill and courage of Shaw. who rode Tom
Kenny. The outsider in the race, Daho-
of the distance, Ethics, hard ridden to that
point, passing Daffo-D own-Dily on the last
turn and entering the stretch seemingly
with the race in hand.
Burns, however eased the horse up after
shaking off Daffo-Down-Dilly, and let
Ethics go wide enough on the last bend to
make the appearance of an opening on
the rail. Shaw. then close up with Tom
Kenny, made prompt and good use of the
chance that Burns carelessness gave him.
Just how he squeezed through the "hole'
that was presented was not apparent from
the grand stand, but Tom Kenny got
through. and in the last furlong went up
beside Ethics and drove the Dwyer horse
to the whip for the second time. There
was not distance enough left for Ethics to

Muzio clevery captured the third race
from fair lot of selling class two-year-
olds, and Bessie Mccarthy easily won the
last race after Clonmell had set the pace
into the stretch. where the early use made
of him by Burns stopped him most eff
fectually.
About the onl yincident fthe racing
was that A. l.. Aste, owner of Lucent, who
ran second to Warranted, took what

owner then retaining the horse. The aged
