sr. ~ #f # lapseS, +


Dallas, Tex, June Pat 2:05 a. m.
the center section of the st. James
hotel, a three-story building located
at Main and Murphy streets, collapsed
without warning and thirteen men
were carried down with the debris
without a single fatality. For a few
minutes after the crash it vas thought
several lives had been lost, but by
quick work firemen and policemen res.
cued all those who had not escaped
through their own efforts. The escape
of those who were taken from the
debris was marvellous, as there were
tons of brick, mortar and woodwork
piled in above where they were found.
Three men who were on the third floor
are thought to be the most seriously
injured.
The Sherman lodginghouse, which is
next door to the st. James, also fell,
but all the guests escaped.

WATERMELON DAY AGAIN.
Rocky Ford Once More Arrayed in All
Her Glory.

Denver, Sept. 5.-A News special
from Rocky Ford, Colorado, last night
says:
In blaze of glory and to the music
of several bands the twenty-third an
nual melon feast closed at Rocky Ford
tonight Sixteen special and regular
Santa Fe trains We're required to bring
the crowds. estimated Mt 1900.
The command was given at II O'Clock
noon To turn the crowd loose on the
melons, and 1t did not take long to
make 1t look as If hostile enemy had
struck it.
Senator George w. Swink. the most
conspicuous figure in all the former
melon fcasts, concluded this year to
give the boys chance and he took n
seat In the graudstand, an Incident
that has caused more comment than
anything that could have happened,
The senator said that 1t was the first
time since Melon Day was started that
he had taken time to look back ana see
how and what started it.
He said that in 1878 or about that
time there were about twenty-five peo-
pie in the vicinity of Rocky Ford and
not many more ut La Junta. lie grew
n patch of melons whose flavor was
commented ON by all the neighbors,
and having more than the family could
use he invited the neighbors to come in
and help to keep them from spelling.
Some came from La Junta and crowd
of twenty-five or thirty gathered to ac-
cept his hospitality. A wagon load
was handed in and the wagon bed In
verted and used rs a table on which
the melons We're carved, Mr.. Swink
using a piece of cutlery which he yet
has. At the time of the first melon
feast there was not an irrigation dltch
in the valley and the first melons We're
raised along the railroad track at
Rocky Ford. In 1881 the invitations
were again extended, the crowds in
creasing. Two coach loads came up
from La Junta and the affair assumed
the proportions of something more
than nclghborhood gathering. In lSs3
side feature of the display of fruit
was added. and in 1SSJ some farm
productions We're shown.
Senator Swink says that this is cor
rect history of Melon Day and that up
TO 1856 the year before the new Rocky
Ford was plated, that he had served
and carved every melon that had taken
part In the melon fcasts, but that the
crowds Increased so fast each year that
lie was compelled to call on his neigh
bors Tor assistance. In 1887 the first
excursions We're run.
]. T. Hall of the Santa Fc stated
that during the fifteen years that lie
has conducted excursions to Melon
Day that there has not been single
accident OF any description and that he
has never conducted excursions that
We're so satisfactory TO all concerned.
The races to-day were the best ever
witnessed OH the Rocky Ford track.

coLoRADo's TOURIST CROP.
Nearly One Hundred Thousand Visit
the state This Season.

Denver Sept. G.-l.ailway passenger
men are jubilant over the tourist busi-
ness for the summer and estimate that
the travel to the state has been twen-
ty-fiye per cent. larger this summer
than IT was last summer.
As 10000 tourists visited Colorado
during the heated term last year, the
number this season will nearly reach
to the 100000 mark. Trains in the
mountains are running full, and even
on The narrow gauge system the pas
senger traffic is unprecedented.
An estimate of the amount of money
left in Colorado during Il single season
by 100000 visitors gives an Idea of the
wealth Colorado possesses in climate
and scenery. Hotel men are of the
opinion that tourists will average $50
each for expenditures while in the
state. This being accepted, the total
enrichment of Colorado citizens for the
season now closing amounts 10 the
handsome sum of SJ,0o0,0OD only one
other state in the Union compares in
growing attractivcnSss to Colorado,
and that is the state of California.
The business Of the present year is an
agreeable surprise 10 the most expert

John Redmond, leaders Of the Irish

rage, issued at the whim of n despot
and n gang of absentee landlords.
"That proclamation Is lie." said Mr..
Redmond. "1n the whole civilized

crime as is Dublin"
The only way to meet this proclama-
ton, he said, was to make the pOliu-

these men. Let them create fierce
agitation and Dublin will rise up as
one man TO join the United Irish
League and make it as powerful and
menacing to British misrule as the
