Sad Addiction Visited Upon Flushing
High School Girl.
New York, Feb. 2O.-Annie Collins,
fourteen years old, pupil in the high
school in Flushing, was suddenly
stricken blind to-day. while sitting at
her desk
The girl was apparently reading a
book, when she suddenly dropped her
head on her desk She remained in
that position for some moments and
when asked what was the matter re-
piled without raising her head: "Oh, 1
cannot see.'' A physician stated after
making an examination that he could
not tell whether the girl would be per-
manently blind or not. Her aft1iction is
believed to be the result of over-study.

motion was not the same as voted On

Senator, McCandless amendment pro-
viding penalty Of from $50 to $500 for
drawing of false vouchers was passed.
Senator Achi moved an amendment
to put in lowest responsible bidder
for contracts which Kumalae had
stricken out in the House. McCand-
less opposed this as leaving too big
loophole for the government officials
and the motion was lost.
Senator Brown proposed an amend

Institutions to draw upon appropria-
lions for wharves and public buildings.
McCandless opposed this as tieing up
the money so that the superintendent
of Public Works could not get 1t even

Achi wanted the appropriation to read

The amendment was carried as pro-

Supreme JudRe-Nit.

The Socialists of Colorado will
in all probability place Judge
Overs on their ticket for supreme
judge. The judge made himself
solid with that party by his rulings
at Georgetown in the Idaho Springs
cases. 1t seems that the labor or
CARNATIONS are gradually concen-
trating into the socialist party,
and there is no use in denying the
fact that the party has grown
stronger than it was last year. In
order however to succeed to power
the socialist party must prove to
the people at large that power in
their hands will be benefit to the
commonwealth, and this will be a
difficult thing to do with the pres
ent leaders of that party as its
guiding force. 1t may be that So
cialism will one day be the condit-
ion of the people, but it will be of
a different stripe than the one now
seeking power. Other political
parties have arisen based on single
issues, have fiourished and gone
down, without getting to the top,
and so it will be with the Colorado
socialist party. Where now is the
green back party? Where now is
the populist party? Where now
is the silver party? And a short
time hence another. query will be
added-Where now is the socialist
party? And to all of these sad
queries, echo will answer back

In Idaho Springs.

1t is expected that the strike in
Idaho Springs will be declared off
in day or two, large number of
the union having become disgusted
with the methods. shown to have
been adopted by some of their
leaders.
We are convinced that a very
large majority of the working
miners in this state are as sincerely
opposed to lawlessness and the
destruction of property as any
other good citizens. They there
fore condemn the attempt to des-
troy the property of the Sun and
Moon mine with dynamite. A
large number of men of this kind
reside in Idaho Springs and desire
to keep their homes in that town.
There is little doubt that they will
be given employment as soon as
the strike is declared off, and that
they will be assured of work at
good wages for long time to come.
Every one admits that unions
properly conducted can achieve
much good; but when leaders re-
sort to the use of dynamite they
overreach themselves and hurt all
who follow them. The miners who
have established homes in Idaho
Springs are interested in the future
growth and continued prosperity
of that town, and they do them
selves credit by condemning the
lawlessness which resulted in the
attack on the Sun and Moon prop
erty.-Denver Republican.

The Strike a Failure.

The situation in the labor strike
now on and threatened in Color
ado has materially cleared by the
firm stand taken by the operators,
who realize that this is a fight to
the finish, and they are thoroughly
united in a determination to place
the attitude of the union in its
true light before the public.
The increasing aggressiveness
of the union in Cripple Greek has
caused it to overlook entirely the
fact that the bulk of the grade of
the ores in the great gold camp is
too low to pay any increased wage
in fact, it is question whether
many of the mines can continue to
earn dividends at S. a day for eight
hours.
Competent mining men say that
it costs 335 per cent. more to put
Cripple Greek ores on surface than
other camps in the state having
ores of similar grade. Under these
circumstances it is the poorest
kind of business policy for the

New Game Law.

The new game law prohibits the
killing of most birds or of having
in possession their skins or plum
age for sale or otherwise. This
applies to the birds which are
thought to be more beneficial than
destructive. The exceptions to
this, or the birds not protected, are
the English sparrow, sharp skinned
hawk, Cooper's hawk, goshawk,
duck hawk, great horned owl,
eagle, magpie and pinon jay.

The largest and most expensive
cigars ever brought into this country
have just been imported in New
York. They are 10 inches long
and weigh 90 pounds thousand
six times as much as the ordinary
cigar. Each of the cigars is incas-
ed in separate box, and is en-
circled with three bands. The
price of them is to be about $4
apiece. Evidently they are just

union to add anything to the diff
culties of operation by labor agita-
ton.
The resumption of work by the
Portland is accepted by those who
know as a distinct weakening of
the strike, for the reason that
every man who goes to work
merely increases the dissatisfaction
of those obliged to remain idle. If
it should happen that some of the
more lawless conclude that dyna-
mite is the quicker and more eff
cient remedy for their real or
imaginary differences, the shock of
the explosion will simply hasten the
disaster towards which the present
unwise management is driving it.
The fact that the miners union
managers are ready to invade any
field in the CONNIE ercial world does
not strengthen them with the other
members of the union who are
thrown out of employment by
their aggressive and impolitic ac-
ton. When miners start grocery
stores and restaurants they merely
crowd out brothor union men with
out cause.
A house divided against itself
cannot stand, and the unionism
that fails to recognize the principle
of true fraternity, "live and let
live," will fail.
The miners union in trying to
cause general shutdown of all
the mines in Colorado simply
breaks down the cause it assumes
to represent. Already capital is
seeking Mexico and other distant
fields, because strikes there are
unknown.
Constant agitation is hostile to
industrial and business prosperity,
and the sooner this fact is recog-
nized, the better for the miner and
the working man generally. Col
orado's profit in mining must rest
on the low-grade ores, and it is
only by the best mining and milling
practice on a large scale, accom-
panied by the higher order of bust
ness talent that the industry can
continue to prosper. The ex-
tremely small margin between de-
ficit and dividends is often wiped
out by causeless agitation like
the present, and a successful de-
mand' for higher wages simply
means a shutdown.
The question now is: Will the
miners union dictate terms to the
business men and operators of Col
orado, or listen to reason and COM
mon sense and be willing to bear
at least portion of the risk in
volved in operating the low grade
mines?
There is no longer any question
that the mine owners and operators
are united and fully determined to
to run their own business in the
future.
If the better element of labor can
see the true situation before it is
too late, they may be able to rally
forlorn hope, and by ousting the
present anarchistic leadership, re-
organize on sane and healthy
basis that will enable them to
measureably recover from the pres
ent disaster that has been invited
by over-confident hot-heads.-

Strenuous City Life.

every time come to Denver and It's
got to be stopped" remarked
Michea1 O'Neill to a Denver Re
publican reporter, as he closed his
lips tightly over his pipe stem,
held his head back, expanded his
chest and stood ready to resist any
futher effort on the part of the
robbers. O'Neill says he is a mine
owner from Idaho Springs and
that he ownes an interest in the
in the Moose Anchor and Buckeye
mines besides half interest in the
Yankee Boy and the Yankee Girl
mines. But regardless of his hold
ings in mines, O'Neill is locked up
in the city Jail where he is held as
witness against Chas. Osterwalt
who was arrested on the charge of
attempting to rob O'Neil1 yester-
day morning.
"Six months ago l came down
to Denver and got .Knocked down
and robbed of $780," he said last
night, as faraway look appeared
in his eyes and his lips parted at
short intervals to allow the smoke
from the pipe to curl up through
the bars. l was walking down the
street and when 1 got in front of
the Windsor stables some one
came up to me and struck me
with a club right here" and
O'Neill put his finger on an old
scar across his forehead. when
l got up l found that 1 had been
robbed of all the money I had. L
was glad that did not have more
money with me that time for them
scalawags. Then not more than
four weeks ago this coming We'd
nesday was robbed of 5000. So.
But they did not knock me down
this time and to save my life 1 do
not know where the robbery took
place.
II was taking the money up
home to pay the men and had it
right here in my pocket. went
up to see Judge Goddard, who is
a partner of mine, and we talked
a while and then l went to the AL
bany hotel and talked to some men
l knew. l did not miss the money
until got outside and 1 know that
my pockets were picked. But
that's a better way to steal a
man money than to knock him
down and cut his head all up. If
l have to lose my money would
much rather have my pockets
picked than any other way.
But these two roberies taught
me to be careful and kept me from
being robbed this morning. Of
course L had been drinking a little
as l always do when l come to
Denver, and about 9 O'Clock this
morning 1 started for my room at
the Tivoli, Seventeenth and Mar
ket streets, to go to bed. Two
fellows for whom / had been buv-
ing drinks did not want me to 90
to bed and followed me up stairs
and caught hold of my arm and
were not going to let me go to NV
room, but l made them. After a
while some one knocked on the
door and 1 got up to see who it
was and found the same two men
One OF them struck me on the
head with club and knocked me
down, but l yelled for help and
fought them and they got scared
and ran. | went down on the
street and found policeman and
pointed out one of the men to him
and he arrested the fellow and took
him to jail. But could not find
