AT meeting of the Board of Excise
held in Orange on Wednesday night
applications for seven saloon Licenses
and for seventeen renewals were ask
cd for. This leads the Orange Chron-
icle to remark:
An increase in the number Of sa-
looms in this city is manifestly not
desirable. The thirsty wayfarer can
find in the present equipment one for
every fifty voters on the average in
the city ample means of satisfying his
needs, If such they are, and we hope
that the Board Of Excise, when ap-
pealed to by the Citizens Committee
at its meeting next Thursday, will
perceive the wisdom of going very
slow in the matter Of granting new
licenses.
New evidence that the Brooklyn
bridge is being loaded beyond its nor
mai capacity was recently discovered
when it was noticed that various rods
and braces of the stiffening trusses
had buckled. The damaged cords are
on the south side of the bridge, about
100 feet north of the New York tower.
On the south side of the footpath,
directly beside the third rail of bridge
car tracks is the worst bend. The top
cords are in unshapely form, and are
bent more than fifteen inches from
the architectural course The lower
cord on this side is in fully as bad
shape as the upper ones. The diagon-
al braces from the tracks to the prom
enade are also out of shape.

CONFERENCE SUGGESTIONS

The Methodist Church, Of all the
religious denominations extant, has
been the most conservative in the
matter of amusements, both public
ana private. Unfalteringly opposed
to the theatre and the dance, the
denomination has also placed itself
on record as against many other
worldly entertainments. But in the
matter of church fairs and similar
exhibitions which have for their
object the raising of funds for reli-
gions purposes, Methodists have been
most liberal Abuses have crept in,
however, and the church fair, as now
generally conducted by congregations
of various denominations, has become
q byWordss and repl zach. Practices
have been tolerated that are far from
conducive to a religious life, and
though they have been condemned by
many clergymen and pions laymen,
there are few churches that have not
tolerated them in some sort. The
grab bag, the Fishing ponds, !" the
Guessing matches and other forms
of games of chance--a mild term for
gambling have been allowed to
flourish unmolested, and the church
has reaped the profits.
But there are signs of q revolt
against this prevailing custom, as was
evidenced az the session OF the New
Jersey Methodist Episcopal Confer
ence recently held in Salem where the
following preamble and resolutions
have been introduced by one of the
ministers:
Whereas, We have learned with
deep regret that in some of our
charges there is disposition to adopt
doubtful expedients to raise money
for the support of the church; and,
whereas, it is said on reliable authori-
ty that in. the holding OF fairs and
festivals in some places even the sale
of tobacco is tolerated, and that some
of our young ministers, especially,
who are desiring to keep themselves
pure and to maintain good con-
science before God, are embarrassed
by such action; therefore
Resolved, That we recommend
close adherence to the law of the New
Testament, which inculcates an intel
ligent, hearty and systematic devote-
ment of earthly substances to the
Lord, and to refrain from these modern
experiments, which are poor substi-
tutes of Gods method of finance. Es-
pecially do we amphatically condemn
the sale Of tobacco ON these occasions
or any other practice not in accord
ance with Gods Word and the Metho-
dist discipline.
The failure of the Conference to re-
ceive the resolutions with hearty
commentator is an indication that
the sentiment in the denomination
against the prevailing practice has
not yet reached the point where utter
condemnation is believed to be desir-
able. The fact that a resolution was
introduced requesting newspaper re-
porters not to mention the matter, is
evidence that some members of the
Conference feel that the position they
have assumed is homogeneous, and, as
one of the ministers remarked, "a
damaging reflection on the Confer
ence. = The defeat OF the effort TO
suppress the news, and the practical
killing Of the original resolution by
it's reference to committee, may at
least have the effect of arousing more
sentiment in the denomination
against the church fair.

Agnes Phipps Memorial sanitarium
Near Denver.


Denver, June LIN memory of bis
mother Lawrence c. Phipps of Den
yer has decided to establish sanl-
tarium at Montclair, the fashionable
suburb adjoining Denver on the east,
for the treatment Of tubercular disease.
Mr.. Phipps will leave for Pittsburg to-
day and eastern architects Will be In
structed to proceed on plans for great
institution, to be called 1.-The Agnes
Phipps Memorial SanItarium," where
the Trudeau system will be introduced
for the first time In the West.
Attorney Gerald Hughes recently
purchased 16O acres on the Sixth ave.
nue. boulevard, adjoining Montclair,
for $4,000. The property, said Mr..
Hughes yesterday, was secured for Mr..
Phipps for the site of the sanitarium.
The management Of the sanitarium
will be under the direction Of q board
of seven trustee, having the power to
fill Its own vacancies, so that the board
will be self perpetuating. Those who
will serve on the board are: Chester 8.
Morey. Charles ]. Hughes, Jr., John F.
Campion, Walter 8. Cheesman, John
II. Sawyer, John G. McMurtrie and
Tyson y. Dimes. sglN Il
Forty OF the 100 acres purchased will
be at the disposal of the institution for
immediate use, the remaining 120 acres
will be held In reserve for prospective
future needs Of the sanitorium. X,

"As yet" said Mr.. Hughes. "Alr
Phipps himself has no idca of the cost
of the sanitorium nor even how the
buildings will look All matters of cost
and architecture will assume shape ar

and builders. He will return to Den

Gentlemen:-The following is in re-
ply to your inquiry about my farming
here in Colorado:
came to Colorado in the fall of 1891
as ''spud rustlcr." that is. to pick
up potatoes tfor the farmers liked the
country pretty well and concluded to
stay here. In the year 1892 l rented IL
farm under a new ditch and farmed
on shares. In 1893 that ditch was
short of water and l got burned out
and | was $500 worse off than nothing.
/ went to work the next year by the
mon,n and got started farming again
for myself in 1895. and have made
some money all right.
You ask about my last season's crop.
Well. l am farming an eighty-acre
tract, and the sales from my farm
produce came to something over $4,-
500. besides my sheep-feetling bust
ness. 1t is my opinion that this is a
valuable aid to the farming business
in addition to the profit made on the
sheep themselves. 1t helps to keep the
land more fertile. did very nicely on
my sheep, in addition to my regular
farm crops. Yours very truly.

Dear Sir:-Your letter of inquiry as
to my history since coming to the Eat
on potato district, was received.
came to Eaton, Colorado in June. 1893,
from the state of Georgia, and landed
in town with the sum total of $5 In
my pockets.
The first four years l worked for
wages for others, but becoming inter-
ested in the line of farming, rented
farm on shares in the spring of 1897.
My success in farmin3, has been about
on a par with the general history of
this vicinity. | purchased the quar-
ter section that l had been operating
under lease and could now clean up
my affairs and not owe.a single dollar
upon 1t.
In the condition it now is it is easily
worth $4,000. l have made every
dollar out of crops grown on this land,
besides what money l have spent in
other ways. The sale of my farm
crops the last season amounted to over
$4,000. l am pleased to say that if
person farms the land properly here
that it will grow more productive each
year. Yours very truly.

COLORADO FARM CROPS PRODUCE WEALTH
AND INDUSTRIOUS FARMERS BECOME RICH

The Denver Chamber of Commerce,
In view of the great agricultural re-
v1val that appears to be In progress
In Colorado, and believing that the
agricultural resources and opportuni-
ties of the state are not full appreci-
ated either at home or abroad, recent
ly addressed letters to a number of
practical farmers asking them to give
their experience for the information of
the public and the benefit of Others who
may be looking for an opening in that
line of industry. 1t was thought that by
this means something more tangible
might be arrived at than the hearsay
statements of large farm profits 80
widely current.
The results 80 far have been highly
gratifying. Almost without exception
the letters tell a pleasing story of pros
perity. Ex-Governor b. II. Eaton, one
of the largest owners of farm proper
ty in the state, took n live interest in
the matter and largely through his eff
forts there has been quite u general
anu immediate response from the vi
cinity of Eaton in Weld county. A
number of the most interesting of
these letters are printed herewith.
The Eaton district is one of the typi-
Siti ldFtLlLE SECTIONS OIL the Stute anu
there are probably twenty or more
other localities whose farmers could
tell an equally good story. Just as good
results, for instance, have been
achieved in the Arkansas valley in
southern Colorado and along the
Grand river and its tributaries in the
western part of the state. Reading
these letters tempts us all to turn
farmers. They also furnish conclusive
evidence that Colorados position as
the greatest producer Of the precious
metals among the states of the Union
is not her only claim TO eminence. Her
waters that wash out gold in the noun
tains run down to the plains to irri-
gate grain, fruit trees, alfalfa and su-
gar beets.
When farmers make money their
prosperity is shared by all, for those
products which sustain life must nee
essarily furnish the foundation for ev-
cry form of industry. The following
letters clearly indicate that the farm
ers of Colorado are now having an in
ming.
