Dentistry Is a profession with hyc distinct

kinds In our practice there are specialists
for each branch.
Our way assures good work in five branch
cs, because constant doing OF one thing
makes skill. The usual way secures good
work in one branch only. because nearly
every dentist makes one branch his hobby
and ncglccis the other four.
Specialists not only DO better work, but
with less pain than others, because they
work more deity and gently.
They do work cheaper, too, because they
consume less time. That explains our
prices.

Law REGARDING the Insane.

Judge Lindsey of the County Court
of Denver has succeeded in finding an
old law whereby lunatics in the coun-
ty hospital and state asylum. who
have any property, must pay for their
care.
The law has been a dead letter for
years, but now that the insane wards
of both institutions are crowded 1t is
likely that it will be enforced. At
least number of communications
have passed between the Charity Board
of the City Council and Judge Lindsey
on the subject.
The law in question is as follows:
In case any person who is adjudged
to be lunatic, as hereinbefore provid
ed. has no friend or relative who will
assume the custody and care of said
lunatics. the County Court shall order
the said lunatic to be placed in the
State Insane Asylum, or other hospital
or place suitable for the treatment of
the insane. If such lunatic has any es-
tate in the hands of his conservator, an
account for the keeping of said luna
tic shall be rendered by the proper au-
thorities of said asylum or hospital, or
the owner or owners of any other place
where he has been treated, to the
County Court. by which said commit
ment was ordered, and upon the fur
ther order of said court, the conserva-
tor shall pay said account out Of any
moneys in his hands belonging to said
estate and which may be SO applied"

New York, Oct. 18.-John Aexan-
der Dowis, who calls himself Eii1ah the
Restorer, faced his first New York au-
dience to-day, and, although Madison
Square Garden was thronged at the
afternoon and evening meetings, anu
thousands were turned away from tne
doors. he found himself confronted
with what he called a new experience
when thousands, having evidently sat
isfied their curiosity, threw the meet
ings into confusion by their sudden eA-
odus before the ceremonies had falrly
begun.
Commands to close the doors anu
prevent exist were unavailing, ana the
prophet gave vent to displays OF much
petulence on finding that 1t was one
thing to gather a great New York au-
dience. but quite another thing to COM
mand its interest after the first de-
mands Of curiosity had been satisfied.
The fouse-to-house visitation by the
hosts of crusade meetings will be in
augurated tomorrow.
Five thousand persons were turned
away from Madison Square Garden this
afternoon, after all the seats in the
building had been filled with a great
crowd, curious to see John Alexander
Dowie on his first appearance before
New York audience. Fully $4,000 per-
sons were In the Garden at half-past 2
o'clock when the services began with
the professional hymn which the Zion
white-robed choir. to the number of
about 600. and the capped and gowned
ordained officers of the Christian Cath
olic Church in Zion took part.
The service of prayer opened with
the invocation by DR.. Dowie, followed
by the singing of hymn, during which
the crowd continued to pour into the
Garden. This was followed by the re-

ALASKA BOUNDARY COMMISSION
SUSTAINS THE UNITED STATES

American argument that the United
States were entitled to the heads of in
lets. as contained in question five, held
out that Canada had established her
case in questions two and three, deal
ing with the Portland canal.
After luncheon Senator Lodge. Sec
retary Root and Senator Turner agreed
to cede those points and to start the
American boundary line from the head
of Portland canal. thus giving the Ca
nadians that chanel and some small
islands on which there are only few
unused storehouses.
This accomplished. the majority of
the tribunal agreed to fix, with this ex-
ception. the entire boundary as outlined
in the American case. Whether Messrs.
Aylesworth and Jette. the Canadian
commissioners. will refuse to sign the
decision and make it unanimous, is not
known. but 1t will not affect the valid
ity of the agreement if a minority re-
port is submitted.
By Monday afternoon 1t is hoped that
everything will be ready for signature,
though the actual marking of the line
on the map which shall forever de-
termine the respective territories will
occupy some time.

AIR SHIP MAKES
SUCCESSFUL TRIP

San Francisco. Oct. 1S.-Dr. August
Greth, who for year past has been
unostentatiously working on an air
ship, to-day surprised the residents of
San Francisco by sailing over their
heads for two hours. directing the ma
ing that in many essentials he has
solved the problem of aerial navigation.
The ascension was made from a lot
almost in the heart of the city. DR..
Greth attempted to encircle a towering
newspaper building about mile east
ward. but found the currents too strong
for his power and then turned in an op-
posite direction.
The winds carried him oceanward
and for time he hovered over the vi
cinity of the Golden Gate, making var
ious successful trials of his steering
gear.
The currents threatened to take him
out over the Pacific and he decided to
make landing on the parade grounds
of the Preside military reservation, but
made the mistake of letting out too
much gas and he landed in the bay
about 200 feet from the shore.

third chapter of the Book OF Reyela-

"Behold, stand at the door and
knock. II any man hear my voice and
open the door, will come into him and

With his arms above his head, in
shrill voice that reached the farthest
parts of the Garden. he cried:
"Oh. it is good to know that God
has not ceased to knock at the human
heart; to knock at the doors of homes;
to knock at the doors of workshops; at
the doors of places of business, Che

Canadian Statesman Feels savaue.

Ottawa, Ont, Oct. 18.-In the House
of Commons to-day Mr.. Gourley,
member for Colchester, Nova Scotia,
whose speeches in the House have
gained for him much notoriety, took oc-
casion to refer to the decision in the
Alaskan boundary case. He said:
''If the news is correct that we hear
in the corridors, and l hope it is not,
all that the United States has got to do
is to make claim for Canada and they
will get it by boastfulness and dishon-
est effort. If it is true, we might as
well throw away our national aspira-
tions. The last two generations of
Englishmen were edegenerates and
towards. They have had no leader since
Pitt died. Thank God, Chamberlain is
galvanizing them and putting new
blood in them"
Mr.. Ross (Victoria. Cape Breton) pro-
tested against speaking about English
men in this way, and Mr.. Gourley re-
torted that they went around with
binders on, unfit to drive sheep across
the country.

London, Oct. 1S.-The Alaskan bound
ary commission to-day reached an
agreement whereby all the American
contensions are sustained with the ex-
ception of those in relation to the Port
land canal, which Canada wins.
All that now remains to be done is
for the commissioners to afiix their sig
natures to the decision and complete
the map which will accompany 1t.
On the map will be marked the
boundary line definitely fixing the di-
vision of American and British terri
tory on such a basis that no American
citizen will lose foot of land he al
ready believed he held, while the
United States will get all the water
ways to the rich Alaskan territory,

nal, which gives Canada the one out

COLORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY
Denver Grand Jury Discharged.

Judge Booth Malone. of the District
Court at Denver, on the 18th instant,
vacated the order for the grand jury
which was summoned to investigate
the alleged charter election and regis
tration frauds. The motion for the re-
moval of the sheriff and coroner, and
the appointment of elisors to summon
a new grand jury, made by the attor-
neys of the Honest Election League,
W first denied, after which the judge
announced his decision discharging
the grand jurors.
In his decision Judge Malone adj
dressed the panel present as follows:
But, gentlemen, the court desires
to say word to those OF you who
as grand jurors.
1.-THE court wishes to express his
high regard for you, collectively and
individually. Some of you the court
has known personally and somewhat
intimately for several years. and the
court now takes pleasure in saying
that 1t believes the general personnel
of this jury will rank as high In man
hood. standing and character as that
of any jury called within this state,
within the knowledge of this court.
"And yet, gentlemen, the court feels
compelled, In Justice to you and the
court, to say that no unbiased friend
of the court or of the jury, and no
true lover of justice who is familiar
with the situation and condition of
things as they now appear before the
court and jury, can honestly believe
hat ttnn1
suits will or likely can be secured to
the public at this time under the ex-
listing conditions.
"The court believes that were you
to attempt to enter upon the duties
of grand jury at this time you would
be compelled to act without the ap-
proval, sympathy or support OF large
part Of the general public and of the
very parties who have invoked the
power of the court to have grand
jury called.
1.-THE court believes that no matter
what you might do, or how you might
do. your actions and even your mo-
tives will be misjudged and miscon-
strued.
You would enter upon your du-
ties, discredited and handicapped by
the actions and the attitude Of the
very parties to whom you would nat
urally have the right to look for en-
couragement and assistance.
81 do not believe, therefore, that
you ought to be compelled to strug-
gle with the disadvantages and SUBJ
nit to the unjust aspersions and crit
icisms that are bound to follow you
under the circumstances, for none of
which circumstances you are in any
wise to blame.
"The order heretofore made by the
court, upon the 18th day of September,
directing the sheriff to summon a
grand jury, will be and the same
hereby is vacated and rescinded."
