In striking contrast to the present
laws to prevent habitual drunkenness
were those passed in the reign of Queen
Elizabeth. The Lansd0wne manu-
scripts in the British Museum record
that in 1894 orders were set down by tho
lords and others of her majesty's privy
council for the reformation Of the great
disorders committed by the excessive
number Of ale houses, which the justices
were ordered to reduce. The publicans
were compelled to give to the constable
of the parish the name and business Of
every one who frequented their houses.

played therein. On Sundays no persons

General Booth.

Pdper Redd Before the ChnutduQud Circle.
IFI WE'RE asked whom consider
the greatest man of the last CEN
tury, I would answer General
Booth. That is, using the. word
sgreat" in its highest, noblest and tru-
est sense, meaning character In which
the purest and most spiritual qualities
predominant.
OF all the great men of the last CEN
tury, Gen. Booth is the most unique.
He stands apart from the others like
Michael Angeles Moses from the work
of his contemporaries, the wonder and
admiration Of the age. We search in
vain to find a parallel. Like Washing
ton, he is without peer in his lifelong
labors for his fellow men. He is like
Washington, too, in his modesty amid
all the honors that have been offered
him. That a man born in the lowest
and most humble rank Of life, who as
q young man was only pastor of q
very small and poor parish; q man who
is, according to the strict definition OF
the word, uneducated; who for years
was scoffed at, ridiculed and persecut-
ed-that such an one should, before he
ended his career, have been not only
the honored guest of two Of our presi-

making forty ties a day. The railroad
company pays 25 cents each at any
point on its line. Cut the timber off
in the winter and the next summer
there will be growth of red top and
blue joint grass which seeds itself, thus
making it a grazing country unequaled
in any other part of the state. The
facilities for erecting barns and build
ing fences without cost makes it the
best place to start stock farm that
can be found. This country abounds
in natural meadows, many of which
are ready for the mower without much
labor. Aud while you are receiving
profit from working such a farm,
where there is paying work both sum-
mer and winter, the land is rapidly in
creasing in value and enhancing your
assets.
The present wealth of the Southern
Minnesota farmer is not so much what
he has saved from the sale of grain and
stock, as the fact that his farm, which
may have been homestead and cost
him $17 for filing on same, is now
worth $4,000. At the present time l
fully believe that there is as great de-
mand for experts in farming as in any
calling, profession or trade. To be-
come an expert agriculturist and horti-
culturist is no small undertaking in
itself, and from an educational stand
point is just as much benefit intellectu-
ally and practically as study of clas-
sizes, dead languages, or any profession.
1t may be asked, aside from being
able to successfully operate a farm one
may own, of what particular benefit is
such knowledge? I will answer by
again referring to my own experience

dents, but of every crowned head in
Europe and few in Asia, is to say the
least remarkable.
How do we account for all this?
There are two chief factors: the work
he has accomplished, and the qualities
that animate, guide and control him.
To recount some of his accomplish
ments: He was the pioneer in provid-
ing cheap night shelters for the home
less, inaugurating in London night ref
uges where for two cents bed was
furnished and for four cents supper,
bed and breakfast. Certainly the meals
served at these refugees were not
sumptuous; they consisted of pint of
coffee and half pound of bread,
enough to mean salvation to thousands
in the large cities of England. He
originated the Prison Mission through
which each discharged prisoner was
met at the door and was offered food,
lodging and work. His labors along
this line were so successful that he
shamed several churches into arousing
themselves and attempting to act up
to their profession. He labored also
among those girls who had gone, or
we're about to 60 astray, and here again
he was successful. And lastly, he es-
tablished colonies in England and in
Canada for the waits and strays of So
ciety. To dwell upon all he has accom-
plished would require book. Time
forbids my telling of the hungry he has
fed, the naked he has clothed and the
sick he has succored until his name
has become Synonymous with charity.
Let us glance briefly at the qualities,
or gifts if you like, which enabled him
to accomplish so much. One can only
recall a few men who were possessed
in so great degree of the gift of organ
ization, Ignatius Lydia, founder of the
Society of Jesus, John Wesley, founder
of Methodism, and Brigham Young.
The same qualities enabled all these
men to achieve the work they did.
Each possessed an intellect that seemed
to grasp at once all the details of any
matter, to see the consequences result
ing from any given course of action;
all were able to win the confidence of
those with whom they came in contact,
and to persuade them to accept their
leadership and command. Gen. Booth
had firm, immovable faith in the
justice of the cause he advocated,
faith so strong that no amount OF. op-
position, persecution, calumny or dan
ger could stop him or cause him to
swerve one iota from the path he had
marked out for himself. He believes
in the Bible. He believes it to be Gods
message to man, and as far as is possi-
BILE for erring man, he lives up to the
requirements of that book. He possess
es perseverance that is proof against
all failure, and believes all things are
possible to him who patiently tries.
He has done so, and has accomplished
more than any other individual of his
time; and whether we approve of his
methods or not, and despite all his
faults-being human he has faults
his name is so thoroughly engraved
upon History's page that it will never
be erased while the English language
is living. J.R.

Cattle Seized by Inspectors.

Relative to the arrest of l.. A. HUFF
and others in Huerfano county for the
alleged stealing Of cattle, says the
Denver Republican of September 25th,
Secretary Edwin McCrillis of the State
Stock Inspection Board said yesterday
that the board had stopped a carload
of cattle on Monday which had been
shipped into Denver from that coun-
ty.
I'VE did not just like the appear
ance OF the man with the CATTLE" said
Mr.. McCrillis. mot that we thought he
was a cattle thief, but he could not
give any satisfactory account as to
how he came into possession of the
animals, and for that reason we de-
cided 1t best to hold the cattle. They
were sold to a Denver firm and the
money resulting from the sale has 6een
deposited with the state board. When
the proper owners for the cattle are
found we shall turn the money over to
them. l know nothing about the mat
ter further than l have just stated.
This case shows clearly the use OF the
board to the cattlemen Of this state,
some Of whom believe the laws have
been trifie too stringent in some re-
spects. l venture to say that the men
who own these cattle will come to the
conclusion that the board and the laws
are good things"
Last winter we stopped a carload of
horses here in thesame way" he add
ed. "and II. r. Fuller, who had the an
imals in his possession when the board
got hold of them, is now on trial in
Glenwood Springs charged with rus
tling cattle. l do not know how this
case will come out, but at any rate 1t
will show the use OF the strict inspec-
tion laws and the state board"
Mr.. McCrillis stated further that the
members Of the board were making
every effort to secure evidence con-
cerning a number OF cases of cattle
rustling over the state. The state
board is determined to protect
the cattle owners OF the state against
cattle thieves. The board has its in
spectors everywhere in the state. and
unless a man can show bills Of sale
for the cattle which he has in mis- pos
session or other good evidence of his
right and title. the stock will be taken
from him until he can prove proper
ownership. Most OF the cattle buyers
who ship mixed brands OF cattle and
often do not have bills of sale, are
known to the stock inspectors.

School Fund Decision.

Mrs. Helen Grenfell, state superin-
tendent of public instruction, has an
swered the letter of G. E. Hagar, sec
retary Of the state board Of charities
and correction. relative to the claim
which Mr.. Hagar has made on the
general funds of the state for the ben
eft of the children confined in the va
rious state institutions. Mrs. Grenfell
stated in her letter to Mr.. Hagar that
it was her opinion that those confined
in state institutions were not entitled
to any part of the general school fund.
She claimed that the children in these
homes are not properly school children
and for this reason the institutions
should have no aid from the general
school fund
Mrs. Grenfell gave out the following
statement of the case:
1.-The state board of charities and
correction, through its secretary, c. E.
Hagar, has requested from the super
intendent of public instruction, Mrs.
H. L. Grenfell. an opinion in relation
to the question as to whether children
of school age in custody Of the state
of Colorado in its several institutions
are entitled to share of the school
fund of the state. If so. what steps
should be taken to obtain the same.
The information given is to the effect
that in accordance with former deci-
sions, when no especial provision for
teaching has been specified or provid-
ed for in the funds supplied for the
maintenance of the institution, and
when such children have no parents or
guardian living elsewhere in the state.

upon the census list of the district and
to draw corresponding per capita
from the general school fund, the in
stitution itself having no legal right
to any portion of this fund, which is
entirely controlled by the district
school board. In case any portion
of the school fund of the dis
trict being used to employ a teach
er to instruct such children, the
employment would be made by the
district board. and it would be neces-
sary for the teacher to possess teach
er's certificate obtained from the prop
er state or county authorities.
IAN opinion given by Attorney Gen.
eral Miller is in accordance with the
decisions given by the superintendent
Of public instruction, but in ad-

confinement, whose inmates should be

that this strip is the only one which

By this system of roads the Rio
Grande would tap all of that rich min
ing country which has recently devei-
oped into the best coal producing part
of the state. but undeveloped. The
coke Of the North Fork branch would
be augmented for the southern trade in
the state by the product of the Colo
rado Fuel AMI Iron Company in and
around Redstone. 1t would cut the
haul down for the southern smelters
and also for the works at Pueblo. Coal

Denver, Sept. 26.-The Republican
prints the following:
Ever since the Rio Grande road an
pounced its intention Of purchasing
the Crystal River railroad there has
been more or less speculation as to the
Goulds' motives in this matter In lieu
pf other information it was conceded
that the deal was for commercial pur-
poses and the possibility of a connec-
lion later on with the main line of the
system southward. Several things have
happened since which indicate the fu-
ture policy of the management of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company
which Is to sell this railroad.
1t is the intention of the Gould and
Rockefeller interests. who control this
big proposition. to dispose of all the
railroad interests that the plant now
has. One by one the side deals OF the
company will be cut off until nothing
is left but the steel and iron works
and the mines. With this policy in
view 1t was natural that Gould and
Rockefeller should take up for their
system tho line which could be of use
to them. The Colorado & Wyoming
railroad is too far away from the Rio
Grande to be of any benefit in anyway.
1t is to be sold to either the Union Pa
cihc or the Colorado & Southern line,
presumably the former.

have been given thirty days in which
to show cause why the writs should not

members of the council disobeyed an
injunction issued by Judge Seeds, and
they have since been cited for con-
tempt. The Republicans do not want
the temporary injunction made perma-

for the temporary writ Of prohibition

Would Bring Conventions West.

Denver is moving to bring greater
number of conventions to Colorado.
The Chamber of Commerce is acting on
the theory that If the great national
gatherings annually held cannot be
brought to this city, it is to the interest
Of Denver to help bring such conven-
tions to other cities Of the Rocky
Mountain or Pacific coast sections.
Plans have, therefore, been laid to
bring together representative business
men OF the western commonwealth in
a preliminary meeting, at which will
be thoroughly discussed every phase OF
the question, and it is considered likely
that tangible line will be adopted for
the organization of all the principal
cities in the movement.
While no date or location for the
first conference is decided, it probably
will be held in Denver. President
Meyer Friedman of the Chamber OF
Commerce has outlined the program in
a circular which is being mailed to all
Chambers of Commerce, Boards of
Trade and other commercial organiza-
tons believed to have possible interest
In the subject.

This is not the whole case. These
foreign treasures are practically the
sole basis Of the finances of the re-
spective nations. On the holdings OF
the Bank Of England rests the credit,
public and private. OF the British en-
pire. With US, beside the gold in the
national treasury, the banks, national
and others, own s322. .408,571, and this
is more than any central institution
holds. save those of France and Rus
sia.
More vital yet is the growth of the
omcial treasury OF the several coun-
tries. In five years the Bank Of France
has gained $127. 900, and the Aus

period the imperial German bank has
lost $38,683, 900, the Bank Of England
