Mrs. Helen L. Grenfell, state super
intendent of public instruction, thinks
that only those who want an advanced
education should be given che Rhodes
scholarships to oxford. She will be
called in to consult with the governor
on plans for choosing young men who
shall go to oxford from Colorado.
Speaking of the matter she said: Il
think boys and young men should be
excluded from the scholarships. l be-
lieve that only persons seeking an ad-
vanced education should be appointed,
and these should be matured men,
whose American principles are so firm
ly established that the question of
anglicising them would not enter. For
men who want a certain line of study
the Rhodes scholarship will be a splen-

Mrs. Martha Shute, secretary of the
State Horticultural Board, recently
called in Mrs. S. B. Walker to consult
with her regarding arrangements by
the state for the wild flower exhibit
ton at the st. Louis exposition. Mrs.
Walker is one of the most expert wild
flower collectors and mounters in the
United States and won the first prize
at the Worlds Fair in Chicago for this
work. She says there is a great diff
ference in the kinds of flowers on the
different mountains of the state. Pixies
Peak for example, has an entirely diff
ferent flora from any other place in
the state. ColumbineS are the best in
Teller county at Rosemont, Clyde and
Summit. All over the state certain
wild flowers are peculiar to certain
sections. Besides this. Mrs. Walker has
made speciality of the soils that are
needed for the production of certain
kinds of plants. 1t is hoped that Colo
rado may be represented by a wild
flower display at the fair.

MONROE GIVEN DECISION
NEW YORK LAD WAS TOO CLEVER
FOR BILLY ROCKFORD.
Bout Went Ten Rounds, and Was Fast
from Gong to GOng-"Canadfan
Kid" and Kid Brune Draw.

George Monroe. of New York, won the
decision over Billy Rotchford, of Chicago,
in their ten-round boxing contest at the
Empire Theater last night. The contest
went the full ten rounds and Monroe was
given the decision because he outpointed
his opponent and forced the boxing from
the start to the finish. The crowd was not
very large, but those who waited until after
the regular show to see the contest were
well repaid, as the two lads mixed mat
ters from the start and the exhibition of
inighting was the best ever seen in Indian
apolis.
Both men had their supporters in the
crowd but when the battle was finished
it was conceded that the decision was the
best that could have been given. Monroe
is the fastest and one of the cleverest
boxers that ever appeared before an In
dianapolis audience. From the tap of the
gong in the first round until the finish in
the tenth he was at his opponent all the
time doing some damage in the clinches
and poking rights and lefts on Rotchford' s
face and wind. Rotchford was not easy
for him by any means, but made it quite
warm at times, and in some of the mixes
he got over MOnroes guard with singing
jabs on the face. There was hardly a
round in which the New Yorker did not
have the best of the argument, although
Rotchford met his leads and boxed gamely.
Monroe made a good impression with the
crowd by his fast work. He will probably
be seen in the next contest to be arranged
to take place in this city and his opponent
will likely be Gus Bezenah, the Cincin-
natl bantam weight boxer.
The preliminary last night was between
Kid Bruno and the Canadian Kid The
boys went six rounds. and the referee
called ii a draw. Bruno made a better
showing than he did in his last contest at
the Empire and many of his friends
thought he should have been given the de-
cision. Canadian Kid did not show as
much cleverness as when he boxed Bruno
the last time, when he was given the de-
cision.

QUIET AT wILKEsBARRE.



wILKESBARRE. Pa. Oct. s.-There
were no developments in the mine workers
strike in this valley to-day. The entire
community remains quiet and the troops
had nothing more to do than go through
their daily routine. The remaining COM
mands of the Third Brigade arrived in the
Lackawanna and Wyoming valleys and
were stationed at various points by Brig
adler General Goblin. After this had been
accomplished the general and two members
of his staff left for Harrisburg and will
return tomorrow. Brigade headquarters
have been established here
1t was announced by the superintendent
of the Mount Lookout colliery of the Tenn
pie Coal and Iron Company, at Wyoming,
that operations were resumed at that col
liery to-day. To what extent could not be
learned.
cattle train on one of the Lehigh VAL
ley Railroads mountain cutoff tracks near
Pittston was dynamitel last night. Seven
cars were damaged and several head of
cattle were killed. A coal train is generally
run over the cutoff at night, and it is be-
lieved some one tried to prevent the train
was not run at the usual hour last night
and the stock train took its place.
1t was reported here tonight that there
is movement on foot among the operators
to ask Governor Stone for more assistance
on the ground that the state troops now in
the field are not sufficient to completely
patrol the entire anthracite territory. If
such request is sent and the Governor
| should grant 1t, he would be compelled to
| call on the federal government for the
| troops.

| came here to-day to look up certain mat

| ing. Tomorrow he will have talk with
