REAL GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY
Mr.. and Mrs. E. @. Beach, Pioneers
the Celebrants.
CROSSED THE PLAINS IN SIXTIES
Marrow Escape of the Mother and
Children from the Indians Re
called by the state Huiiders
Who Were Present.

A dusty day forty years ago when the
stage from Atchison arrived IN Denver,
an ambitious young man and his wife
were among the travellers. AT that time
the Indians were peaceful so that theiI
trip from the Missouri river had pos
sessed no terrors for them, except on ac
count of It's tediousness.
Seven long weary days-iust think of
it, when in less than twenty-four hours
you can cover the distance, Mr.. and Mrs.
e. c. Beach, for they are the travellers
of our story, registered at the Planters
hotel, then the only hostelry in Denver,
and only an ordinary frame structure at
that. ael.,
Miss Clara Briggs and &. c. Beach had
been married at South Bend, Ind,
about ten years before coming to Colo
RADIO bv Rev. A. Y. Moore. Presbyterian
minister of that place. They were lured
to Colorado by the glowing tales of Colo
radios FL Dorado, as related by the
Briggs Brothers who were then operat-
ing the Gregory mine, one of the gold
mines in Gilpin county.
Mr.. and Mrs. Beach located in Gilpin
county in 1868, and after four years in
the mountains the wife began to long for
sight of the dear familiar faces and
scenes With her two small boys, Chas.
b., and Lamont b., she decided to make
the perilous journey home. Frank

was also of the party. AT this time the
Indians were hostile. being melted by
unprincipled white leaders. and the stage
passengers were warned to keep shaII
LOOKOUT for the redskins and keep theii
guns in sight Their coach was the last
to get safely into the North Platte enc
of the track. Their plucky little driver
was killed upon the next trip three days
later. and while the Indians were secur
ing the express matter the Rev. Mr.
Fuller hid bsneath bank and effected
: his escape, which is a matter of history
The night they arrived at North Platte
Mrs. Beach and her children slept in q
stage coach in the corral. In less thar
two days these same couches were fired
by the Indians.
After these strenuous times and peril
GUS journeys in Colorado. Mr. and Mrs
Beach have now reached the golden mile
stone of their liie's journey, and and las
night celebrated that event. Their sons
: both Of whom are residents Of Colorado
and their daughter, Mrs. G, v. Kirby
assisted their parents In celebrating the
anniversary Mrs. Beach expected hel
sister and the minister who performed
her marriage ceremony to be present
but they were uuavoidably detained il
Indiana.
There was host OF Denver friends t.
rejoice with them last night at theil
home at lass Emerson street.

Art, Music, Letters

Several more stage favorites began
their seasons last week in various
places, bringing on a new batch of pop
ular novel dramatizations. Mary Man
nering appeared at Buffalo in Judith y
Jessie Millward at Hartford, Conn, in
"A Clean Slate;" Charles Richman in
Captain Darlington at Springfield,
Mass; Orrin johnson at New York in
Hearts Courageous The latter two
were hailed as successful stars for the
first time. Mrs. Fiske wound up her
New York engagement with a week of
Ibsen, impersonating the unlovely
Hedda Gabler.
Other notes of interest in stageland
were the arrival of Nine. Melba in
this country for a concert tour, the
production of ''Lohengrin" in English
by the Castle Square company at
Brooklyn and the delay for half an
hour in the opening of London thea
ter at the request Of King Edward the
action being taken as royal request
that theaters should not open so early.

result of economic conditions. He adj
mitted that some tariff revision might
be needed, but said the tinkering
couldn't be done until after the presi-
dental election. He was opposed to
radical currency legislation
Bryan Criticises Shaw.
In an open letter printed in the Com
moner Editor w. J. Bryan arraigned
Secretary Shaw for advocating the
Aldrich currency bill, saying it would
let favored banks unload any old Sc
curities for deposit of government
money. He says that if the govern
ment cannot reduce the surplus by
lessening taxes it ought to invest its
surplus in its own obligations
A Setback For Addicks.
The president ended the Republican
disputes about the successor to United
States Attorney Byrne for Delaware
by appointing John P Nields, who was
Endorsed by Senator Ball and repre-
sents the anti-Addicks faction. In
making this appointment the president
followed the advice of Judge Gray, who
was head of the anthracite strike COM
mission.
New York's Race Begun.
Some degree of order was brought
about in the New York city tickets
finally, after the fusionists had put
Hinrichs and Mcguire in place of the
Tammany Endorsed Grout and Fornes.
Grout has come out squarely for Tam
many's mayor candidate. Mcclellan.
Now begins the spellbinding.

proposed "a white mans country" as

Trip That Compares FavorabIy With
the Big Rivers of Earth.
He who has made voyage from st.
Paul to St. Louis by boat in the
springtime or the autumn has seen the
finest river scenery that may be OBJ
served from the deck of steamer ex-
cepting that of the Hudson and the
Rhine. Yet few people are aware of the
pleasure and beauty of such trip.
have foated down nearly all. of the
great rivers The Amazon from Ma
naos, the great rubber market, about
1,500 miles from the sea, is a vast, ugly
volume of water without any beauty
whatever The Orinoco from Ciudad
Bolivar is q small edition of the AM
azon, although the tropical jungles
which line its banks are mysterious in
their denseness and are supposed to
conceal all sorts of wild beasts and
creeping things. The Parana. which
flows from Paraguay down past Bue-
nos Ayres and Montevideo, is more like
the Mississippi than any of the others
except that it lacks the bold cliffs and
charming towns and villages that over
look the Father of Waters. The Mag
dalena of Colombia. the fourth largest
river in South America. is a turbid
stream that is either very low or very
high, according as you travel in the
rainy or dry season of the year. Its
banks are lined with tropical forests,
often impenetrable, and it changes its
course as often as the Missouri. 1t has
a wild sort of splendor, but it does not
compare with the Mississippi in any re-
spect.
In Europe the Danube is more like
the Mississippi than any other river
and drains a similar country. The pas
senger boats are much superior be-
cause the proprietors cater to the tour
list patronage. For several centuries
the governments of the provinces
through which the Danube runs have
been improving its channel and walling
up it's banks so that along at least half
its course it is now more of an artificial
than natural stream. At one point
where it flows through mountain
gorge in the Balkans the scenery is
more striking than any along the Mis-
sissippi, but for the rest of the way the
latter is much superior. The Volga in
Russia is a good deal like the Missouri,
a tiny. muddy stream, with clay banks
that are not at all attractive. The
Rhine. of course, everybody knows
about, and for romance, ruins and other
artificial attractions and traditions it is
Incompatible.
The Nile has been utilized by tourist
agencies greatly to their profit and
equally to the pleasure of their pa
irons, although there is very little nat
ural scenery, and the greatest attrac-
tons are the venerable ruins. the mys-
teries Of the desert through which it
flows and the picturesque Arab settle
ments that line its banks. If similar
accommodations for travellers that are
now found on the Nile could be placed
upon the Mississippi and the boats
managed with equal skill and Iiberality
the enjoyment of the voyage would be
much greater, but suppose people will
continue to visit and admire the attrac-
tons of Europe no matter what may
be said of those that lie nearer home

Radiun's Wonders Demonstrated.
An exhibition of the wonderful pow
ers of radium was given at the Ma
tional History museum at New York
by a Tiffany diamond expert. A tiny
portion of radium of 100000 radio ac-
tivity was put in tube, the tube put
in a rubber case, the case in a thick
wooden box, the box in a lead pipe, the
pipe in a brass tube and the whole in a
jar of water behind four inches of
wood. A fifteen carat diamond was then
made to flash with phosphorescence in
utter darkness. The exhibition con-
firmed every statement made abroad
about the wonders of the new metal.
