University Trade School.

Denver March 14.-Chancellor w.

establishment of trade school in Dem
yer in connection with the University.
He says:
Another ten acres of campus will
be devoted to the Preparatory School

public interest is manifested in the es-
tablishment and maintenance OF a
trade school in Denver. We could be-
gin that work at once and could be
ready to receive students into an ade.

tember next. provided the people OF
Denver really cared to have it. 1t is
infinitely more expensive for the state
to kill boy than 1t is to save him to
a lie of usefulness and honor; and If
we persist in killing boys by neglect

CODY SEEKS A DIVORCE.
Noted Frontiersman Makes Serious
Charges Against His
Wife

North Platte. Neb.. Feb. 13.-William
f. Cody Buffalo Bid has instituted
proceedings against Louisa Cody for
divorce on the grounds that she has
been guilty of cruelty, has tried to poi
son him. has refused to entertain his
friends at their home in this city and
in other ways has made the marriage
tie intolerable. The complaint charg-
ing these offenses was filed in the Dis
trict Court of Big Horn county, Wyo-
ming, January 9th and until last week
was suppressed.
The couple have lived together for
thirty-eight years and five children
have been born of the union. They
were married when Buffalo Bill' was
government scout and before Ned
Buntline. the blood and thunder nov
elist. had given his peculiar sobriquet
such prominence by making him the
hero of the battles, sieges. fortunes
and hair-breadth escapes with which
his novels dealt
1t is said that an interesting legal
fight Will be waged and that the wife
will oppose the divorce. She is held
in high esteem by the people of North
Platte. Wednesday night a prairie fire
threatened her dwelling and the citi-
zens turned out en- masse to fight back
the flames.
Il have never been on the trips my
husband took abroad" said Mrs. Cody.
Il have frequently asked him to take
me. but he has always had an excuse.
His sister. who lives on the estate in
Wyoming. has wanted him to get di-
vorce and he has listened to her until
he was persuaded against his reason.

FACING A CRISIS
eALFouR is FEEsLv SUPPORTED
Dissolution Of Parliament Seems I'M
minent.-Free Trado Unionists An
fannnized Doubtful

taQOntZcd.-heSuIt OOuDtfut.
London. March 13.-No less than 40
members of the House of Commons put
themselves on record last week as will
cng to turn over Balfour rather than
sacrifice their adherence to Mr.. Cham
berlain's out and out protectionist
principles.
AS a result Mr. Balfour has foregone
his personal policy OF retaliation and
retains office only by the support nj
those members of Parliament who
openly uphold preferential and protec-
tive duties. This section of the Unionist
PARTY. though strong enough to decide
the fate of the ministry. is not strong
enough to effect anything as an indi-
vidual unit.
The complications within the Union
ist party came during the week to an
almost Gilbertian climax. Even the
Saturday Review. which supports Mr.
Balfour's policy, holds that he lost
more than he gained by his compare
lively narrow majority of 46.
The Cabinet itself, SO recently con-
structed, has been on the verge of a
serious split. During the week Austin
Chamberlain. chancellor of the ex-
chequer. Colonial Secretary Lyttleton,
and several minor members of the gov
ernment threatened to resign unless
Mr.. Balfour withdrew his support of
the motion which denounced Joseph
Chamberlains proposed preferential
duties based on the taxation of food.
Beset within and without, Mr.. Bal
four gave in to the Chamberlainites and
still further antagonized those free
trade Unionists. the Duke of Devon
shire. Lord Balfour of Burleigh
Charles T. Ritchie, Lord George Hamil-
ton and Sir John Gorst, formerly his
colleagues, and their supporters.
Experts in British elections express
diametrically opposed forecasts regard
ing the probable result of the appeal
to the country, which Is now somewhat
impatiently awaited by the public. They
all agree, however, that neither Mr..
Chamberlain nor Mr. Balfour. on their
respective planks of protection and re-
taliation. is likely to be returned to
power. Whether the Liberals or a CO.
alition of the Liberals with the Union
ist free traders could secure sufficient
majority to remain in power without
the support Of the Irish party is re-
garded as extremely doubtful.
The best balanced opinion is that
when Mr. Balfour either ends the ten
ure of the present government. or it is
ended for him. there will be series
OF see-saw political evolutions, with the
Irish party holding the scales.
