Worlds Oldest Chair.

The most ancient chair in the world
is that preserved in the Museum OF
Egyptian Antiquities at Cairo. It is
said to be of the time of Abraham
and is a most interesting relic. In
the wall paintings OF the temples and
tombs of ancient Egypt the king, or
governor of the province and his wife,
are generally represented in profile,
sitting on chairs which are very SIM
pie and solid in construction. In the
ruins Of the open air theaters Of
Greece. in her palmy days, we find
remains, more or less perfect, of beau
t1ful chairs or seats sculptured in
white marble. Chairs as represented
in Greek sculpture are either with
out backs or with straight backs at
right angles to the seat.-The House
Beautiful.

origin of Free Lunch.

A Scotch investigator has discov-
cred the origin of the American free
lunch in the old Scotch custom of
serving a SPEEDING" or dried salt
haddock. with each drink of ale or
whisky, which is still practiced at the
INNS and public houses of Caledonia.
The purpose. of course, is to create a
thirst for more of the beverage, and it
must be admitted that the purpose
is usually achieved. Even in America
there is more than suspicion that
the ingredients of the free lunch are
often selected with the same end in
view.

A sermon in the EIov.era.


Flowers preach to US If we will hear:
The rose saith in the dewy morn:
am most fair;
Yet all my lovelineSs is born
Upon a thorn.
The poppy saith, amid the corn:
Let but my scarlet head appear
And ] am held in scorn;
Yet juice Of subtle virtue lies
Within my cup of curious dyes.
The lilies say: Behold how we
Preach, without words, of purity.
The Violets whisper from the shade
Which their own leaves have made:
Men scent our fragrance in the air
Yet take no heed
OF humble lessons we would read.
But not alone the fairest flowers:
The mereSt grass
Along the roadside where we pass
Lichen and moss and sturdy weed,
Tell of His love who sends the dew.
The rain. and sunshine too
To nouriSh one small seed.

A WONDERFUL INVENTION

1t is interesting to note that fortunes
are frequently made by the invention OF
articles Of minor importance. Many Of
the most popular devices are those de-
signed to benefit the people and meet
popular conditions. and one OF the most
interesting OF these that has ever been
invented is the DR.. White Electric Comb
patented Jan. l, 80. These wonderful
Combs positively cure daudruff, hair
falling out, sick and nervous headaches,
and when used with DR.. Whites Elec-
trio Hair Brush are positively guaran-
teed to make straight hair curly in 25
days time. Thousands Of these electric
combs have been sold in various cities Of
the Union, and the demand is conse-
quently increasing. Our agents are rap
idly becoming rich selling these combs.
They positively sell on sight. Send for
sample. Mems size BIC, ladies' 5Oc.-

An interesting statement made
by S. v. Newell in answer to the
attack of Governor Peabody on
the Wolcott faction of the Kepub.
lican party appeared in the Den
yer News of Tuesday last. He
sets forth the reasons for the de.
feat of the governor which are
logical and his statements will
meet the endorsement of almost
everyone who is familiar in the
least with the inner workings of
the Republican party in Colorado.
The article rebukes Peabody in
emphatic terms, especially for the
persistency he is displaying in in.
sisting his right to the governor
ship in the face of such humiliat-
ing and decisive defeat. The
comment made by Mr.. Newell on
the governors stubbornness in re-
fusing to concede the election, of
Alva Adams voices the sentiment
of not only the Democrats but
Peabody's constituency also, and
being we'll worth reading is there
fore reprinted as follows:
"Much better would it have been
Lad Governor Peabody issued
maintaining in a manly
and straightforward manner that
hs believed his conduct and policy
rs chief executive of Colorado, to
have been right and proper and
justified by the extraordinary con-
ditions prevailing, but that, mas
much as plurality of his con-
stituents had by their ballots
plainly shown that they disagreed
with him, he as patriotic citizen
accepted the verdict gracefully"
Gilpin observer., 1904-11-17

Peabody is not willing to abide
by the result Of the election. In
a statement issued to the people a
few days ago he claims that he
has been honestly elected governor
of Colorado. "Great outrages
have been practised in outside
counties as we'll as Denver" says
the illustrious parsonage who
thinks the people should have two
more years of this troublesome
regime whether or no. When he
made Il speech in this city he said
he was not seeking votes and if
the people wanted to choose him
as governor for the next two years
all we'll and good, and If they
didn't it WAS immaterial to him,
and he would acquiesce and be
satisfied with defeat or victory. At
this time there can be no doubt
about the election Of Alva
Adams, and the honest election of
him, too. 1t is not very likely
that the investigation into the So
called election frauds will be
pushed with u determination rs
if there was any crooked work in
dulged in on Sth of November an
examination would unquestion-
ably reveal the fact that there was
more stealing or stuffin' done by
the Republicans than by the Dem
ocrats.
Gilpin observer., 1904-11-17

Peabody is taking his defeat
hard and that is pleasing the peo.
pie who opposed his reelection
1sey ond all power to express. He
feels the humiliation Eeenly and
well he should. Just to think
that every candidate ON the Re-
publican ticket was elected with
the exception cf the head. 1t was
. strong announcement of his pol
icy and shows conclusively the
residents Of Colorado do not pro-
pose to stand any more of the So
called claw and order" tactics of a
Republican governor.
Gilpin observer., 1904-11-17

The miners Of Cripple Creek
and Telluride have decided to call
off all pending strikes now that
Alva Adams is elected. That
doesn't bear out the claims made
by the Republicans during the
campaign that should Adams be
elected the state would be involved
in insurrection and riot, and an
archy would reign supreme, does
itf
Gilpin observer., 1904-11-17


Now that the election is over,
the Colorado Promotion and Pub.
licity committee will pursue an
active campaign for the advance
ment of the interests of the Cen.
tennial state. From the nature of
inquiries received at the Denver
headquarters of 1.-THE committee
from all parts of the country, it is
evident that considerable capital
has been awaiting investment in
Colorado and as soon as business
conditions become settled, this il
expected to flow into the state.
Gilpin observer., 1904-11-17

The indications are that the
mining industry in Gilpin and
Clear Creek counties, will receive
quite an impetus the coming win
ter and spring. Some new discov-
cries of Importance have been
mado In this section of Colorado
and considerable outside capital
has been advanced to aid in the
work Of development. This is one
Of the older mining sections of the
state and remains in much favor
among mining men.
Gilpin observer., 1904-11-17

"Galbraith, the, wife and child
murderer, shall not hang for sixty
days." so speaketh the governor.
Yesterday he issued another re-
prieve pending the decision of the
supreme court on the constitution
ality of the capital punishment
law. At the expiration of that
time Alva Adams will have re-
lieved Mr.. Peabody as chief ex-
ecutive and if the supreme court
hasn't arrived at conclusion it
will be up to him. Should the
court decide in the negative Gal
braith will not have to answer for
the offense of which he was con.
victed by the district court. But
rather than have the criminal &c
free the governor would doubtless
commute his sentence to life i'm
prisonment before the supreme
court could issue its decision. Gal.
braith has a similar charge against
him, that Of child murder, which
he would be tried for should the
constitutionality of the capital
punishment law not be sustained
and the governor should not com.
mute his sentence. Therefore he
is doomed and justice will "catch
him going or coming" so to speak
