State School for Girls.

Because of the rumors which have
been affoat in the corridors of the state
house and elsewhere regarding mis-
management at the State Industrial
School for Girls, says the Denver Re-
publican of July 10Th, Governor Pea
body. accompanied by DR.. Eleanor
Lawney, president of the State Board
of Charities and Corrections. and DR..
d. H. Dougan and Secretary Hagar of
the same board. swept down on the
home yesterday without announcing
their coming, hoping in this way to
get clear insight into the inner work.
ings of the home.
The rumors which had been afloat
were to the effect that on Thursday
night five girls escaped from the home
and that the flight was due to a con-
dition of things which made 1t un-
bearable for them. 1t was also said. In
effect, that new solitary confinement
cells were being constructed, with a
view to returning to the old methods
of punishment. and that the fear of
this caused almost daily attempts at
escape.
When the rumors reached the ears
of Secretary Hagar he at once institu-
ted an investigation in the city. and
learned that they were without founda-
ton. Wishing to make 1t doubly sure
he intended to visit the home unex-
pectedly yesterday afternoon and in
spect it thoroughly, questioning the in
mates and getting all the information
he could
Before starting he apprised Governor
Peabody of his purpose. and the latter
at once announced that he had been
desirous of visiting the home for some

him the president of the Board of
Charities and Corrections. and such
other members as would wish to go.
No notice was given of the intended
visit. and the party walked from the
station at Morrison to the home. Here
they found that a general house-clean-
ing was in progress, and that every
thing for this reason was upside down.
The party at once commenced investi-
cations. examining the inmates of the
home, the sanitary conditions and the
treatment accorded the girls.
They found that no attempt at es-
cape had been made on Thursday, or
since June 25th. The inmates question
ed. according to the report. said that
they were all as well satisfied as any
person would be who is deprived of
freedom. The food was excellent and
be desired.
The only censure which the visitors
had for the board of control was the
condition of the plantation; it was
thought that the orchard was neglected
and portions of the farm needed atten-
tion. The grounds Immediately around
the house were much admired.
According to the official report the
last girl to escape from the home was
Frances Wagrin. and she telephoned
in two days later and wished to be
taken back. She escaped on June cath.
and on June 25th Ethel Guthrie and
Nellie Judd made their escape. The
Guthrie girl asked to be taken back
after three days of freedom, and Nellie
Judd was captured by an officer of the
home shortly after she left.
The visiting party expressed them
selves in the report prepared as being
entirely satisfied with the management
of the home.

LAST SAD SCENES
OF POPE'S BURIAL

Rome, July 26.-The body of Pope
Leo was inferred in st. Peters last
night. The strokes of the hammer
which resounded throughout the i'm
mense dome of the cathedral an
nounced to the earnest gathering in the
nave that Leo Kill had been laid at
rest.
The scene in the chapel was most re-
markably effective. The bier bearing
the body was received by Cardinal
Oreglia. 1t was placed in the center
backed by an altar with a beautiful
image of the Madonna, before which
were burning four immense candles in
silver STATS. Around the two sides OF
the chapel. in the choir seats were thir-
ty-six cardinals.
The body was sprinkled with holy
water, absolution was given and the
foot of Leo XIII. was kissed for the last
time by Major Domo Cagiano. Master
of the Chamber Bisletti and Count
CaInillio Pecci.
The monsignors of the basilica. aid
ed by the noble guard. then laid all
that was mortal of Leo XIII. in a
bearing on the cover an inlaid cross,
the entire sacred college and Prince
Colonna rising to their feet as last
tribute and sign of respect.
When the last supreme moment
came the heavy coffin. weighing in all
1922 pounds. was rolled out of the
chapel. preceded by mace bearers and
the choir singing as they went and fol-
lowed by the cardinals, among whom
the bowed figure of Oreglia. the strong
upright Vannutelli brothers, the white
haired Agliardi and the immense
black browed Svampa were the most
conspicuous. Pulleys were attached to
the coffin and soon. to the strains of
the "Benodictus Dominis Deus Israel"
it was hoisted into the stone sarcoph
agus above the door. where it will re-
main until the grateful cardinals Gre
ated by the late pontiff shall erect a
suitable tomb in tire basilica of st.
John Lateran. which w@s chosen by the
Pope himself as his final resting place.
Thus was Pope Leo consigned to hiS
long rest.

Campers Must Have Licenses.

]. NJ Woodward, state game COM
missioner, returned to Denver recently
from the western part OF the state,
where he went to look at the condition
of affairs over there and especially the
condition OF the trout in the streams
of the state. He stated that he had
placed 100000 spawn In the fish hatch
cry at Steamboat Springs. He said that
while the trout in the state were not
healthy at this time they were much
better than they had been. He stated
that during the spawning season the
fish ate hut little. and became very
poor. but that from now on they would
improve and before month was over
they would be in excellent condition.
MIR. Woodward stated that he had
come to the conclusion that 1t was a
part of the duty of his office to look
after the forest reserve. Especially did
1t come under his province when 1t
came to granting licenses for camping.

books" said Mr.. Woodward. since
1901, which stated that every party In
