Paris, July 14.-The death Of the
former president of the Transvaal,
Paul Kruger at Clarence, Switzerland,
aroused widespread regret here owing
to French sympathy for the Boer
cause and personal admiration for the

DR.. LANcAsTER's LECTURE.

Last night very interesting and
instructive lecture was delivered at

scientific truths in regard to the var

Evolution does not mean that man
is descended from the monkey, but
that the child is the epitome of the
history of the race; that his fear of
the dark, his tendency to prevarica-

his inclination to change, to run away,

tations of the various stages of the
race development. He said that the
child should not be beaten or treated
as a criminal because of these traits,
but that he should be properly fed and
guided through these very important
periods. He said that arrested de.
vclopment, that wrong treatment or
improper care would often cause chill

right doing men and women.
He referred most approvingly to the
efforts of Judge Lindsey of Denver in

understanding of their responsibility
toward their children, those immortal
human souls launched upon the sea
of life. and whose veal or woe de

HARMONY IN THE PARTY.

The great success and the notable
ing of the home of the Republican
club and later the banquet In honor OF
Abraham Lincoln demonstrated that
whatever disaffection may exist in Re

small number of persons who are
prompted by considerations that have
but remote connection with party
affairs.
The large number of representa-
tive Republicans from different parts
of the state outside of Denver who at.
tended the banquet and the opening
OF the clnbrooms testified to the har-
monious spirit which prevails among
members of the party who are remov-
ed from the influence OF considerations

COLORADO REPUBLICANS.

The Republican banquet at Denver
last Friday evening, Lincoln's birth
day, brought together a large num-

fact that IL was armonious-Repub-

True. there were some Republicans
absent whom we would like to have
seen there, men who have given their
time and money towards the success
OF the party, and we trust the day is
not far distant when this element will
be found mingling with the united
party. Preparations were made for
