WHAT THE CHRISTMAS ANGELS
WOULD SEE TODAY

From the Booklovers' Magazine.
What would they see If they came
again today? Much, doubtless, from
which they would fain turn their eyes
away-poverty. suffering, cruelty, ex-
tortion, strife, greed, treachery-a pit
iful array of human sin and misery.
And they would not find that the
promise of their earlier song had yet
been fulfilled. Peace does not yet
will the soveieign rule among all men.
They would find. fear. that the mean
ing of the message which they brought
and which the Messiah whom they an.
nounced so wonderfully declared, has
been sadly misunderstood by many
who have tried to repeat it: that often
by theological refinements and contro-
versies the substance of 1t has been
missed. and the sweetness of 1t sadly
confused and tangled. And yet, in
spite of all this disappointment, the
nineteen centuries have brought forth
upon the earth many marvellous
changes which the eyes of the angels
would be quick to discern. There is
no city in Christendom today, not one,
which is not politically. socially, econ.
omically, as much better than Rome
was than as light is better than dark
ness. Paris the magnificent Is a
wicked city, but the angels could tell
you that Paris today is white and
clean compared with Rome when
Christ was born. There is poverty
and wretchedness in London and New
York and Chicago, but nothing like
the universal pauperlsm of that olden
day. There is not a ruler Of any great
state in the world today-nor has
there been for many day-would
could be classed in monstrous wicked
ness with many of the emperors. Alb

estimate of him. Is an angel OF light
and hero of chivalry compared with

CONFERRED WITH
REPRESENTATIvE CITIZENS.

General Manager Edison, General
Superintendent Coughlan. Assistant
Superintendent DeGarmo OF the
Fourth division, and Superintendent
Meldrum of the Rio Grande Southern,
spent an hour at the Durango club
rooms last evening comforting with
some twenty-five of the representa-
tive citizens and business men OF the
city, the number including some eight
or ten of the heaviest shippers. After
informal conversation the situation as
viewed from Durango was presented to
the gentlemen. The Sunday train re-
ceived special attention, while the pro-
position designated as chair car was
thoroughly handled along with delay
in receiving freight from Denver and
| the rough usage in transferring at
Alamosa. Mr.. Edison listened attent'
| lively. He acknowledged the road had
been handicapped by lack of cars but
| that the fault was not due 10 the man
agement but the car builders who had
contracted to deliver the new cars in
| August whereas the first shipments
we're not received until in October and
a large consignment was still due
Durangoites advanced the argument
that falling OFF in revenues couid
not be accredited to lack Of business
when shippers had been unable to Sc
cure cars. The attention of Mr.. Ed
son was also called to the fact that II
takes from to IL days to get freight
from Denver and that in transfer al
Alamosa much breakage and damage
resulted, not to mention petty pilter
ing. These matters were promised i'm
mediate attention. and 1t was also tac
lily agreed that the passenger accom-
modations would be looked after, ant
1t Is quite likely decent cars will b'
provided. AS to Sunday trains Mr.
Edison had little to say except that thu
management hoped conditions woult
soon bring about resumption of olt
conditions.
The party remained in the city owe
night, departing eastward at oclocl
this morning.

MARRIAGE AND SUICIDE.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
1t is to be feared that cynics will
ind rich material in some statistics
which Prof. Bailey of Yale has been
carefully collecting. Prof. Bailey has
noted very carefully the circumstances
of every case of suicide which oc-
Cured in the United Stotes during the
four years ending in 1901. In that
period of time some 10000 persons
took their own lives: and the Yale
professor made it a point TO discover
not only the cause and means of each
act OF self-destruction. but also a mum.
ber OF collateral facts which may or
may not be significant.
Many of the most interesting facts
in Prof. Bailey's record have to do
with the relation Of sex and OF mar
riage to suicide. Thus. men are three
times as likely to destroy themselves
as are women, and married men of
tener commit suicide than do married
women. On the other hand. women
who are single, widowed, or divorced
are more given to suicide than are
single en-. The misogynists will jot
this down for future reference. and
also the apparently unrelated fact that
the majority of men commit suicide
on Monday, which will be taken by
the evil-mlnded to imply that they re
driven to self-destruction after spetd-
ing Sunday with their wives.
Some other statistics are less Ii BILE
to be twisted into an argument against
marriage, but are interesting for their
own sake. Thus. of all the days in
the week, Saturday shows the fewest
suicides. This Is explained by Prof
Bailey as meaning that those who have
resisted the depression and toll Of the
week are encouraged by the fact that
Saturday is pay day and that the day
OF rest is to follow. Women prefer
Sunday to Monday-a circumstance
which Prof. Bailey ascribes tentative
ly to religious excitement. though he
also notes that nearly . third Of the

Ter claim was made for this exemp-
ion, and the claim was resisted by the
creditors on the ground that the goods
claimed exempt had not been paid for.
and they insisted the burden rested

John Thralls has filed a mechanics
lien on the Blue Rock group of Gains.
which are located up Silver creek.
General Frank Hall, mining editor
of the Denver Post, is evidently quite
certain that Col. Demming's analysis
of the ore from the Atlantic Gable
shaft is correct. and not bit surprised
that local assayers could hnd no tin.
But. tin or no tin, there are ores in the
Atlantic Cable that will yet make Rico

ton. that Will very probably be set

are now being made by chemists who
can find tin-if 1t is there.
A report came down from the Wei
lington mine this morning to the eff
feet that thirty-inch body of high grade
'Hld and sand carbonates had been
oncountered and that one miner took
out loo sacks of the ore during the
night shift. The Wellington group is
