Would Stop Child Marriage.

The laws of Colorado do not regulate
the ages of persons who get married.
They simply require that the contract
ing parties, If under age. shall have
the consent of parents or guardians.
This loophole has placed the Tellu-
ride agent of the Humane Society. Mr.
lnman. in a quandary. He is trying to
prevent the marriage of two children.
residents of Telluride, but the girl
swears her mother is willing. and the
expected groom VOWS he will have Am
aryllis In spite of the Humane Society
and the law. And now Agent Inman
has laid the problem before Secretary
Whitehead in the following letter:
II wish to call your attention y a
case of couple of children that are to
be married some time In July. The
girl. still in short dresses and small for
her years. Is but thirteen years OF age
and her prospective husband is fifteen
years old. The girl tells us her mother
has given her consent to the marriage
Can such a marriage be legally per-
formed In this state? II not, what can
be done to prevent it?''
Secretary Whitehead wrote to the
agent TO interview the parents of both
the girl aud the boy. and II the facts
were as stated to present his affidavit
as to the facts To the County Court.
and ask to be appointed guardian OF
the girl, on the ground that her mother
Is not competent person TO have
charge OF her. Once appointed guard
ian OF the child Mr. lnman can control
her actions and prevent the marriage.
The names OF the children are not di-
yulged.-Donvcr News.

PRAISES CLIMATE OF DENVER

Denver, June 23.-The following ar.

gian, and especially regarding the eli.
mate of Denver The temperature
rainfall and other elements have been
fully discussed. shall, therefore, aim
to bring out only such features as
have been overlooked. and, as an aid
in making clear the conditions that
obtain, some comparisons will be
made with similar data from Wash.
ington, Boston, Chicago St. Louis and
jacksonville. Unless otherwise stat,
ed, the data used are for the years
1S97-1901, inclusive.
"Discardng fractions of a degree
the mean annual Temperature at Den

years 100 or higher has been touched
just thirteen times in Denver-seven
times in July and six in August.
While these high temperatures were
maintained only for few minutes,
readings in the 90s are common dur
ing every summer month. For July,
the warmest month, the average TEN.

true, but, on the other hand the av.

for July is 80 degrees, which all will
agree is very comfortable for mdsum-

confounded with the mean tempera-

COLORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY
Pardon by Governor Peabody.

Although the board of pardons on
March Bird refused the petition of Emil
Baeder, serving sentence in the peni-
tentiary of twenty-five years for the
killing of A. II. Austin, for pardon or
commutation of sentence, Governor
Peabody exercised his pardoning pow
ers in the case on May eth, and cum
muted Baeder's sentence to ten years.
AS he was sentenced on February %.
1897, the time allowed for good conduct
made him a free man.
In December 1896, Baeder shot and
killed Prof A. H. Austin, graduate of
the University of oxford and man
well known in educational circles of
the state, on the street at Central City
for an alleged insult which Baeder
claimed Austin had inflicted on his
wife. According to the story told at
the time, Mr.. and Mrs. Baeder were
living in the house next to the one
occupied by Professor Austin.
Mrs. Baeder strung clothes line
in front of Austin's window and hung
some clothes on it. Austin asked Mrs.
Baeder to take 1t down. and when she
refused, he cut 1t down, at the same
time telling her she was no lady. Mrs.
Baeder told her husband this, and he
demanded an apology. A war of words
followed and Austin struck Baeder on
the nose, breaking it, as was after
wards learned. Then Baeder drew n
revolver and shot Austin through the
brain. killing him instantly.
Baeder was found guilty of murder
in the second degree and sentenced to
twenty-five years Imprisonment by
Judge La France.
Baeder's petition for executive elem
ency bore the signatures of nine of the
jurors who had convicted him. 1t was
also stated that Baeder was in the din
ing room of the penitentiary on the
night that Night Captain Rooney was
killed. and rendered service by giving
the alarm at the risk of his own life.
In his own statement Baeder said that
at the time he killed Austin he was
under the influence of morphine and
was scarcely responsible. He is a bar
tender. and his wife and family are
now in this city.
Governor Peabody felt that in view
of the circumstances Baeder had been
punished sufficiently and accordingly
commuted his sentence last month.

half of the year. The total for the
spring and summer months is ten
inches. or just five-sevenths of the an
nual fall, leaving only four inches, or
an average of only two-thirds of an
inch. for each of the fall and winter
months-quite the opposite from that
which our eastern friends generally
infer. May, the wettest month. has
an average of 2.61 inches. and April,
the next in order, 2.06 inches.
THE average number of days with
col of an inch or more precipitation
is eighty-one, against III at st. Louis,
20 at Chicago. 121 at Boston. 1922 at
Washington and 127 at Jacksonville.
This is an excellent showing in view
of the fact that this number repre-
sents in the case of Denver, not days
with continuous rain, but principally
days with showers of short duration.
"Of sunshine we have sixty-nine per
cent. of the possible, as against sixty.
five at st. Louis, fifty-nine at Washing
ton, fifty-four at Boston and fifty-three
at Chicago. 1t is of interest to note
that in these cities the greatest
amount occurs in the summer months,
while with us the winter months
for the winter months our average
is above seventy. while the lowest av-
erage for any month-sixty-one per
CENTS for May. Only twice in
twelve years has the monthly amount
of sunshine fallen below fifty per cent.
i'm May. 1891, and May. 1892. Occa-
sionally the monthly average is as
much as eighty-nine per cent: this
was noted in October, 1894, and Sep
tember, 1895. On the other hand, we
have some days without any sunshine
There are not many such days. how
ever, the average is one day a month:
two. the highest average, is for April.
as against none for August.
THE average relative humidity is
slightly below fifty per cent. 1t is
highest in February. ffty-fve per
cent. and lowest in June. which has
an average of forty-six per cent.
Twice during my residence of twenty
one years in the state have | oh.
served humidity as low as one-half
of one per cent. The annual relative
humidity at st. Louis is seventy per
cent. Boston seventy.two. Washington
seventy-three, Chicago. seventy-seven.
and Jacksonville eighty. and for the
warmer months-June. July. August
and September-at st. Louis sixty-six
per cent, Chicago and Boston seventy
four, Washington seventy-six. and
Jacksonville eighty-two. II will be
observed tnat in the Atlantic states
the humidity during the warm months
is greater than the annual. Just the
reverse of that which obtains at Den
