WIfITNEYHAW WKIIV.S.

On last Tuesday night there occur
red in Cheyenne, Wyoming. the mar
riage of two well known Grand juno
tion people. The parties to the cere-
mony were George Whitney and Miss
Marie Hawkins. The announcement
of the happy event in the lives of
these two. will be hailed with pleas
ure and surprise by their friends here,
who were not aware that such an oc-
currence was contemplated at this
time. So quiet was all the arrange
ments kept, that only very few of
the most intimate friends of the con-
tracting couple. were expecting the
tidings.
Mr.. George Whitney, is one of the
oldest conductors ON the Rio Grande
railroad. having run passenger
train on this division for many years.
and is one of the most trustworthy
men in the employ of the company
as we'll as one of the most popular
among his fellow employees.
The lady whom he has chosen for
his bride is known to most of the
Grand Junction people as she has
spent about eight years of her life
as resident here. She is one of the
most beautiful young women in the
city, and will grace the home of Mr.
Whitney in "A most charming manner.
Recently Miss Hawkins won the
prize offered by The Sentinel for re
most popular sales lady in Grand
Jucntion, and the number of votes
received by her at that time, shows
that her friends are numerous. She
was formerly Mrs. Adam German,
and as such has been known to many
here.
Mr.. and Mrs. Whitney. will return
to this city in few days, and then
will go to Salida, where they will
make their home. and where the
congratulations and best wishes of
many will follow them, among w hom

A POLITICAL CRIME.

History is replete with bloody muir
ders of kings and queens. but none
more fiendish than that of King Alex
ander and Queen Draga of Servla can
be found throughout the records of
the past.
Sometimes we feel that progress and
education have eliminated much of
the ravening beast from the human
composition and that man is approach
ing the similitude of Gods likeness
Then some barbarity like this Servian
affair comes to turn back the pages of
history, and we find the dark ages
living their horrors anew.
1t is urged that Alexander was de-
generate and Draga dissolute. Some
argue from this that they deserved
their fate. the Denver Times, owned
by United States senator, editorial
ly said as much. But we fail to dis
cover in such anarchistic sentiments
excuse for treacherous and brutal mur-
der, if. in fact, murder can ever be
palliated.
The dead king set aside constitution
and placed himself above the law.
This is the cause given for his taking
off. But the power that made the
constitution could unmake the king
ana re-enforce its sovereign will. The
fault is not in rulers but in the peo
pie themselves, if their liberties are
taken from them.
The more one studies the Servian
situation the more apparent it becomes
that politics. not patriotism. led to
the wholesale assassination. 1t is not
the worst sovereigns that fall this
way, but more often the best Alex
ander and Draga and their cabinet,
however culpable, could not have
been more despicable than the band of
cutthroats that dispatched them.
There is no autocrat, even a Napole
on. great enough to endow with alb
soluti sm over people. 1t is an at
tribute of God, not man. Alexander,
like Caesar, was too ambitious, but
there is better way to be rid of them
than by Staying them.
The rule of Alexander is passed
over to the hands of Peter. There is
little rea son to expecta better reign,
or to show that Peter is an improve
ment morally or mentally. The con
spirators, not the people, aie the tenn
porary gamers, for they are now in
the saddle 1t is bad beginning.
If they have consciences. the
wraiths OF the betrayed king and
queen will rise to haunt the assassins
in the flush of their power The hour
is only delayed when the dead will be
avenged

PRESS MEETING.

y
association grows in quality and guam
tity of members. Short haired women
and long haired men are less in evil
dence and are superseded by an ener-
getic, sensible looking body with the
appearance of practical workers and
not dreamers. hangers on and free
lnnch grabbers.
The association has become force
since it entered the field of practical
works. Whatever it has set out to do
has been accompli shed, for there is no
association of any kind or degree in
the state holding like power when
properly and concertedly directed.
The late meeting of the association
at Glenwood Springs was unusually
well attended and action set going
which is bound to result in great good
to the fraternity. The principal bus
mess was to set III motion a scheme
of organization of all the country pub
fishers i'll order to handle in co-opera-
tion the foreign advertising. This
should be fertile source of revenue
low and almost worthless through the
extortions practiced by the advertising
agents, who have pocketed most of
the proceeds and Disseminated as
they pleased. By the publishers com
bined and themselves handling this
business. there can be no question
that they would be able to correct
many abuses and find goodly profit
in a whilom asset which had been
allowed to deteriorate. The selection
of Mr. Paul B. Smith of the Salida
Record to set going the preliminary
work of organization was an admira-
BILE one, as Mr.. Smith is an lndefa-
tigable worker and heartily enlisted
in the cause.
The paper that elected most atten-
tion and approval was that of Editor
Curry of the Telluride Journal anent
the evil influences of the boycotts. -
Mr.. Curry had been up against the
proposition and knew whereof he
spoke. There was no rancor, but
plain common sense statement that
went to the heart of the matter. We
should like to see Mr.. Curry's paper
given general circulation. as we are
free to say that it expresses this pa
per's views ON the boycott subject.
and we believe would be approved by
nine tenths of organized labor through
out the land.
Wolfe Londoner, the good angel of
the association. was present but was
in his few remarks, The
genial Wolfe can be really funny and
entertaining. but should cut the Colo
RADIO story from his repertoire.
The citizens of Glenwood Springs,
as ever, were hospitality incarnate.
\ ticket was furnished each visitor
signed by Chairman Keck of the en-
committee and this seemed
to be an open sesame for about
all the good things that the burg
Editors Holmes and Dixon
worked harmoniously in keeping GO
ing programme always pleasing.
Never tiresome and to most of the
visitors decidedly novel. The ladies
of the Reading club also contributed
to the enjoyment with reception
and repast at the Hotel Colorado
which was attended by Glenwood'
elite.
The Colorado Press associ alton has
struck its true gait. AT its present
rate of progress it will soon contain
every newspaper man and women in
the state worth having those actual

of dancing with the President. And
some of the men against whose part
ners he bumped in the whirl of the
waltz looked as if they would have
liked to express their feelings had he
not been at once their host and the
man who could order them to be hang
ed before breakfast if he chose.
For a couple of hours the ball pro-
ceeded in a stately, dignif1ed way, as
most Venezuelan functions do. But
as the drinks circulated and the hosts
magnetic enthusiasm warmed UP the
guests. the fun became fast and furi-
Gus.
After midnight Castro developed a
new line of activity. Every quarter
of an hour or so he insisted on stop
ping the music and making a speech.
OF course he was applauded to the
echo by the dancers. In Venezuela
it is healthy to appreciate Castro's
oratory.
But there was one speech which evil
IDENTIFY hit the merry crowd hard. The
cheers were so hearty and so spon-
taneous that the American asked what
it was about. He didn't understand
Spanish.

A TYRANT'S MERRY CHRISTMAS.
BY WILLIAM THORP.
Copyright, 1903, by William Thorp.

1t was high noon on Christmas day
at La Victoria, town perched away
up in the mountains of Venezuela.
Cipriano Castro, Citizen President of
the "Estados Unidos" of that country,
was having the time of his life at an
open air fiesta.
Half Europe was besieging his coasts.
and America, England, Germany and
Italy were bombarding him with ca
Diagrams every half hour or so to ask
what he was going to do about it. He
didn't worry. 1t was Christmas day,
and he danced.
Under the spreading palm trees he
frolicked in very lively fashion with
the peasant girls of the neighborhood
and some women whom he had
brought with him from Caracas, his
capital.
A military band, dressed in most
gorgeous uniforms of yellow and red
and blue and white and silver and
gold and a few other colors, played
dance music, which sounded suspi-
ciously like rag time. A number of
little iron tables were placed upon the
lawn, which served as the ballroom,
and they were heaped with bottles of
champagne, aguardiente, whisky and
American larger beer. Most of the
bottles were empty.
Suddenly an American newspaper
correspondent broke in upon this pas
toral scene, and buttonholed President
Castro'S factotum.
81 must talk with his excellency at
once" he exclaimed, eXcitedly. "I have
most important news for him. Europe
insists that he must apologize. 1t is
here, in a cablegram from Washing
ton"
The factotum threw up his hands in
! despair.
TT is impossible, senior. You cannot
talk with the President. He does no
business. He dances. He has danced
| for weeks"
But my cablegram-"
Here are fifty unopened cablegrams
I cannot show them to the President
| AS you perceive pointing to the mer-
ry group who were doing the Vene-
zuelan equivalent of the. cakewalk-
che dances"
And when will he stop dancing?"
The factotum shrugged his shoulders.
"Quien sabe. senor!"
The music stopped. Castro saw the
correspondent with the agonized eX-
! preston on his face and the open ca
blegram in his hand. Ever curious, he
walked over, with his pretty partner
on his arm, and asked what it was all
about. He was told that Europe want
/ ed him to apologize.
Immediately he struck a Napoleonic
attitude, waved his arms excitedly in
the air, and exclaimed
Not while life remains; Gen. Cas-
| tro never apologies. He demands an
| apology from Europe"
The girl hanging on his army clap
| ped him on the back and shouted
'Bravissima, Cipriano!" The dancers
took up the cry, whirling their part
ners around in an excited fandango
and beating the empty bottles on the
| iron tables.
Affairs of state having been thus
strenuously settled, his excellency
| the Citizen President was at liberty 10
devote himself to pleasure for the
rest OF the day, and he very kindly
volunteered to show the American
around the town.
The day being Fiesta" the streets
were full OF merrymakers enjoying
4 themselves TO the top OF their bent In
the light-hearted Latin way. In one
! OF the streets the presidential party
encountered an immense crowd-im.
