WASTE AND RUIN IN MOROCCO.
Beautiful Dwellings Erected and Al.
lowed to Decay.

In Morocco they build and make,
and they do both things beautifully
and well. according to n who has
been there. But they seldom finish.
"In a house dainty with fountains and
arabesques INT colored tiles" he
says, you will still find a corner un-
completed. a pillar which lacks the
delicate futing of the other pillars, an
embrasure for a clock half ornament
ed with gold filagree and half left
plain. And, II they seldom finish, they
never by any chance repair. The man
sion is built and decorated within;
artists fit tiles together in a mosaic
of cool colors and carve and gild and
paint the little pieces Of cedar wood
ana glue them into the light and
pointed arches; the rich curtains are
hung; and the master enters into his
possession. There follows the process
sion of the generations. The tiles
crack, the woodwork Of the arches
| splits and falls and the walls break
and crumble. The householder sits
Indifferent and the whole house cor.
rodes. So, in the narrow streets. holes
gap and the water wears a channel
where it will and the mud lies thick
and slippery on the rounded stones;
the streets IL steeply up and down
the hills, wind abruptly round corners
and dive into tunnels"

HOW DENVER PAPERS
GET THINGS MIXED.

The following from the Denver
Times CT yesterday afternoon will
serve to show how the papers Of that
city confuse matters:
when Glenn S. Frisbie returns. to
this city this evening he will bring
with him a charming bride whom he
married at Cheyenne yesterday. Mr..
Frisbie and Miss Hattie Estelle Nor
ris were married at the home of the
brides parents, Mr.. aud Mrs. John H.
Morris, the ceremony being performed
BY Rev. A. C. Hogbin. Mr.. Frisbie is
a well-known young mining man and
has been in Denver for some time. His
bride is a charming Cheyenne girl
prominent in social circles there,
where she has lived all her life. Mr..
and Mrs. Frisbie will make their home
here"

THE ~REPEALERS.

All indications point to the conclu'
sion that the rerealers will again be al
work during the coming session OF con

through the recent irrigation congress
and it is the avowed purpose OF MT

end. Whether he ia now supported Dy
the same railroads that formerly gave

WOMEN
OF LARAMIE PROTEST At PRES
EMIT FORM OF ARIZONA
STATEHOOD BILL.
Corresponding Secretary Of Laramie
Woman's Club Instructed to Voice
Protest Against Discrimination
and Letters Directed to Be Sent to
Senators Warren and Clark.

AT the session of the Woman's club
held Saturday afternoon the excellent
program previously published in these
columns was heard with pleasure, and
much business Of importance was
transacted. 1t was voted to hold the
meetings the remainder of the season
at private houses, devoting the money
previously ~disbursed for rent towards
a fund which will be used for furnish
lngs for the assembly room in the new
Carnegie building. The session of De
cember 10 will be held with the
Misses Wright. Mrs. Fox's Parlia,
mentary Usage for Women's Clubs
was adopted and special attention will
be given to work along that line for a
time. A communication from the
woman's protest committee, through
Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton of Warren,
o., was read, the substance of the mat.
ter being as follows:
"A bill is now pending in congress
which SO vitality affects the interests
of womel in the great southwest that
we believe you and your organization
would like to protest against the in
justice therein threatened our sisters.
The bill proposes to unite Oklahoma
and Indian territories into one state
under the name of Oklahoma, and to
combine New Mexico and Arizona ter.
%ritories into a state under the name OF
Arizona. This measure has passed the
lower house of congress, has beer read
twice in the senate and is now before
the senate committee on territories, of
which Senator Albert J.. Beveridge is
chairman, and the following named
senators are also members: William
P. Dillingham;, Knute Nelson, Thomas
K. Bard, Henry E. Burnham, John
kea!l. William B. Bate, Thomas M.
Patterson, James P. Clarke and Fran
els G. Newlands. Now Is the time to
amend, while the bill is in committee.
THE portion of the bill threatening
injustice to the women in the proposed
new states is found in paragraphs 5
of sections 3 and 81, which would al
low these states, when organized, to
d~isfranchise minors, criminals, luna.
tics, non-residents. ignoramuses and
women. This part of the bill reads as
follows:
"'Fffth-That said state shall never
enact any law restricting or abridging
the right of suffrage on account OF
race, color or previous condition OF
s~ervitude, or on account of any other
conditions or qualifications, save and
except on account of illiteracy, minor
ity, sex, conviction of felony, mental
condition. or residence; provided, how
ever, that any such restrictions shall
be made uniform and applicable alike
to all citizens"
Miss Mary Wright, corresponding
secretary, vas instructed to voice the
protests Of the Laramie Woman's clut
against such m%anifestly unjust dis
elimination in letters to our own Sen
ators Warren and Clark, and also Sen
ator Beveridge of Indiana, chairman

great value In the matter of educating
the east and gave the members Of con.
gress from the arid states a stronger
position before the entire nation. At
the same time the facts brought out by
Mr. .Mondel's committee weakened the
influence Of the entire Maxwell! crowd
1t Is now believed that the Ten Of the
west will be able to defeat any measure
looking to the repeal of the desert land
act and that they will also be able to
modify any amendment to the timber
and stone act 10 such an extent that
the law itself will be saved to the PEG
pie Of the mountain country.

he reached the subject of play and its
effect on education he preached the sub
ject of dancing snd said:
'.The basis OF art is rhythm and the
