Mr.. Taylor, 'the question of who first
wore the gown came up. and we inves-
tigated it and found that when Justice
John Jay took the Office he thought the
members of the supreme court should
wear gown of some sort According

Lose Lands on the South Fork of the
Platte.
Platte.

Denver, April S.--A decision given
by the supreme Court yesterday morn
ing probably will cause the abandon
ment of the scheme of the Colorado 4
Southern Railroad Company to build
short line to Cripple Creek. In the
case of the Denver Power and Irriga-
ton Company against the railroad.
Judge Gabbert held that the railroad
had no right TO hold the land and re-
yersed the decision of the District
Court, which held that the power and
irrigation company had no right to
condemn the land held by the railroad.
The Denver Power and Irrigation
Company, which was victorious in yes
terdays suit, acquired by purchase
and by filing q large tract of land on
the south fork of the Platte The dam
which it was intended to build at n
cost of $4,000, 600 was to provide water
power, which it was intended to use to
generate electricity TO supply Denver
factories with power The company
now holds Il franchise from the City
Council permitting it to string wires
in the city of Denver for the transmits
sion of its power.
Judge Gabbcrt said that the case
would be remandcd without prejudice
and ii would be in the same position as
II there had been no trial. The case
may now be heard in the Court of Ap-
peals if it is desired to push it farther.

Will invite the Prince.

New York, April There is the
highest authority for the statement
that the Chamber of Commerce of New
York will invite the Prince of Wales to
attend the dedication of its new home
in August or September. Negotiations
of semi-oflicial character have been
under way for the last two months,
but nothing definite will be known un-
til May or June.
AS a mater of fact. no formal invita-
ton has yet been sent to the Prince of
Wales, in spite of statements to the
contrary, but such an invitation will
be forwarded. with every prospect of
its acceptance

extended over that time, but as yet no
arrangements have been mace except
for it's continuation for the TWO even

In every respect the affair proved
double the success that even the most
sangaine CT the ladies' concerned in its
management hoped for. Last evening the
crowd far ortnumbercd. and. in fact.
about doubled the attendance OF the
opening night. Every one of the scores
of booths did a really enormous business
and practically sold out long before the
terd played the farewell number of the
program. There was surprising number
of young people present
All entered into the spirit of the oc-
casion with unusual vigor. and the vast
lawn was thronged with merry. laugh
ing humanity from early in the evening
until nearly midnight.
The ladies IN charge of the booths had
their hands full in handling the crowds.
particularly at the candy and ice cream
stands, but they succeeded in perform
ing their duties. and. incidentally. in
filing their cash boxes to overfowing.
Will Clear Substantial Sum.
The vast proportions of the work
which rcs fore them in continuing
the lawn fete is recognized by all, but
the ladies' are perfectly willing to un-
dertako the task. and are even quite en-
thusiastic over the success of their ven-
ture 1t is generally predicted that quite
a large sum Of money will be realized
from the affair when the final settlement
is made.
The same attractions which proved SO
popular on the opening evening con-
tinued to draw large crowds lest night.
Tho motion pictures were well at the
top of the list, and, as they were ex-
hi5ited in the open air, free of charge.
they attracted huge crowds all evening.
