THE STANLEY MYSTERY.
The Woman's Writings Claimed More
Than Circumstances Warrant.

Denver. Colo, March 6.-There is
considerable speculation here as TO the
antecedents of Mrs. Georgia Stanley,
who died, yesterday, from asphyXia-
ton. due to inhaling fumes of coal gas
in hovel where she was found by
neiShbors in an unconscious state lying
on bed beside the dead body of Ma
jor Marshall F. Hurd, an aged veteran
of the Civil War. Mrs. Stanley long
ago told q friend that her father. Lord
Allan. formerly governor of prov
ince in India, was the founder of the
Allan Line of Atlantic steamers In a
note book found among her effects, ap-
pears the following: Brother Georges
but at this writing l suppose it is
$4OO.0O0,0O0. To think how rich brother
George is and how poor 1 am"
Nothing definite is known of the
brother except that it is believed he
lived at one time in Spain or the Bar
BADGES. Some time ago, when Mrs.
Stanley's poverty stricken condition
was brought to the attention of the
dean of st. Johns cathedral, he COM
municated with Sir James Grant of To-
ronto. who, Mrs. Stanley claimed, was
her half brother. A reply was received
to the effect that Sir James was not
Mrs. Stanley's half brother.
No arrangements have as yet been
made for Mrs. Stanley's burial. Major
Hurd. who was an engineer in the
armv of the Cumberland. was hurried

"RoosEvELT's INvINciBLEs"
Will Work Among Colored People Ter
Presidents Nomination.

New York, March 6.-The attitude
assumed by President Roosevelt toward
the negro has been endorsed in a rous-
ing mass meeting of colored people
held in the Bethel Methodist Episcopal
church in this city, at which Bishop
w. b. Derrick of the First Methodist
Episcopal district. made stirring ap-
peal to his people to turn their eyes
to the Door of hope opened by the
President" to the black race. The mem
ton of the name of the President by
the speaker drew forth tremendous APP
pIause from both men and women
The bishop INDUCED in bitter denun-
citation of Senator Tillman of South
Carolina.
The meeting constituted the first step
toward the formation of THE Roose-
welt Invncibles," which organization
will favor the denomination of Presi-
dent Roosevelt Bishop Derrick will
speak in Philadelphia on similar
mission, and will address the colored
men in many of the principal cities Of
the country and organizing them into
local Roosevelt Invincibles," who will
use every effort toward placing colored
men as delegates in the next national
convention. On the platform at the
meeting was James H. Haynes Of Vir-
ginia.
During his speech Bishop Derrick
spoke of the appointment of colored
men to offices by Grover Cleveland and
other Presidents. but said that whereas
these Presidents appointed negroes,
Roosevelt appointed men.
Color is nothing" said the speaker,
however much some white men would
harp upon it. Why. there are colored
men whom / would not allow in my
kitchen much less in my dining room.
Yes. and there are white men whom |
would not allow in my kitchen, either.
At the close of his speech the bishop
offered the following resolutions, which
were adopted amid cheers:
Resolved, That in His Excellency, the
President the Hon. Theodore Roose-
velt the liberty of the world has a
most fervent defender, civilization n
gallant representative, humanity a gen.
erous protector, the American nation a
type of civil valor and heroic self-de-
MEL which ought to characterize the
first magistrate of a republic.
Resolved, That we recognize that the
great and unfinished task of Lincoln
which has fallen into his hands will
be properly and successfully accom-
plished for the happiness and pros
perity of the nation.
Resolved. That we pledge ourselves
into an association to be known as
''Roosevelt's Invincibles," recommend
ing similar organizations to be formed
throughout the country.

Author and
Explorer Dead.

st. Petersburg, April 30.-Paul Du
Chaillu, the American author and ex-
plorer. who was stricken with paral-
ysis yesterday, died at midnight.
A brother of Verestchagin. the Rus
sian painter, will arrange tor the
burial of the body in the Literatures
cemetery. if it is desired that the in
terment take place here.
Paul Belloni Du Chaillu was born
in Paris July 81, 1885. He was the
son of French merchant in equator
ial Africa, and became naturalized as
a citizen of the United States. He
explored the Gaboon region, and other
parts of Africa. and published many
works relating to the wild life in CEN
tral Africa.
He was the first white man to hunt
the gorilla, though specimens living
and dead had been secured earlier by
DR.. Henry Ford, of the Gaboon mis-
sion. Du Chaillu's fame is chiefly
founded on his introduction of the 60
rilla to the knowledge of the general
public.
When he returned from Africa with
accounts of the great size, strength and
ferocity of the gorilla, of enormous
serpents. a pigmy race and other
strange denizens he had met there,
his friends refused to believe his
tales, but all were verified later. I'm
til six years ago he was favorite on
the lecture platform. At that time he
started ON five-year tour of Russia,
which had just been finished. Before
he started he was given a half hour
audience with the cza-, who promls-
ed his protection and invited the trav-
eler to visit him whenever in st. Pc
tersburg. Du Chaillu was but Is
years old when he made his first trip
to Africa. 1.-The Land of the Mid
night Sum was his best known book.

H. A. Sowle, who formerly resided

He was discharged from Uncle Sam $

enlisted in the city of Washington and
has had strange and wonderful career
since he left here seven years ago.
When Mr.. Sowle left here he for a
time worked for the Union Pacific out
of Denver. He then drifted east and

He tells wonderful tales of the Chi

A printerial blacksmith shop in this
city made the assertion before The
Sentinel's Industrial Edition was
printed that no office in the city
could run half tone cuts save that
office. In few days there will be
published some of the comments on
this special edition from some of the
largest papers of the state, who prob
ably know a good piece of work when
they see it. The fact is that the press
work ON the edition was done entirely
at night, ON account of the absence of
necessary water power to operate the
type setting machine and the press at
the same time. Had the press work
been done in the day time. it would
have been far superior to what it real
ly is. There is great difference be-
tween making half tone cut ''show
up as the expression goes, on large
cylinder press and on a platen press.
The quality of paper too has some
thing to do with the production of
the cut. What is desired to explain,
however, is that this office can do as
high, if not higher grade of work
than any other office in the city and
superior work in every
condition to that produced by its crit
lc.

FIRE DESTROYS sAwM1LL.

Fire destroyed the Chrysoilite saw
mill last night at Leadville.
Fifteen men are thrown out of en-
ployment.
The loss is estimated at S1S. 1000.
There was no insurance.
The origin of the fire rs a mystery.
Spontaneous combustion is said by
the management of the mill to have
been the cause. but parties living at
the scene place the blame ON incendi-
aries.
The homes of several families were
threatened with destruction and there
were a number of narrow escapes.
The heroic work of the men employ
ed at the mill saved many thousand
dollars worth of lumber from destruc-
tlon.
AT O'Clock this morning the fire
was still burning and it will probably
be several days before it is extinguish-
ed.
The smoke is being drawn down
through the old Roherst or Chrysolite
shaft and it is feared that the air in
the underground workings of the Fry
er hill district will be vitiated.

To the Voters of
School Dis. No. 1.

The Board of Directors of school
District No. 1 have heretofore thought
it was best not to make any reply
to the severe attacks against the
school board and the schools of our
district, made by two of the papers of
our district, but in view of the very
severe and unjust criticism which ap-
peared in the News of May 2nd we
feel that the public ought at least
to know the facts.
Both the News and The Sentinel
have assumed that the relation of our
superintendent depended upon the
election or defeat of Mr.. Wheeler.
AS matter of fact it has nothing
whatever to do with that matter.
The school board has only the inter
est of the schools at heart. They have
no pets, as the conduct of the board
has heretofore shown. The school
board have always welcomed open and
fair criticism. They know that they
cannot have things perfect, but are
striving to do the very best they can
and the fact that our schools at this
day are in better condition than they
have ever been is one evidence that
their work has met with some degree
of success.
These papers talk about 'fads'' and
lack of elementary instruction, when
as a matter of fact there never was a
time when children were so thorough
in, hn oil of al
ucation as they are today, and that
in our own public schools. They
talk about the multiplication table
not being committed in our cshools as
though that were fact; when in fast
a very careful examination has shown
us that our scholars are most thorough
ly grounded in this branch of arithme-
tic.
We wish further to state that the
board has given the most careful and
courteous consideration to any COM
plants. criticisms or suggestions that
have ever been brought to its Official
notice. That the board welcomes
such suggestions in the future as it
has done in the past. The highest
posi- BILE efficiency of our schools is the
object for which we all have COM
mon interest, and we as the directors
of School District No. 1 court the clos
est investigation of our school work.
