HONE DRAnATICS
Plenty of Good Material in Glen
wOod---The Eagles Entertain
ment d Success

The entertainment at the Opera
House Monday evening, given by
members of the Eagles lodge and theil
lady friends for the benefit of the
charity fund of that lodge was ar
artistic success from start to finish.
Glenwood is to be congratulated on
the dramatic attainments of number
of her citizens. Among the Break
ers, - the two act comedy drama Sc
lected fol the occasion, gave full OPP
portunity for each member of the com
pany to do their best, in other words
there are no wall flowers but each
takes an active part and ones weak
ness or strength is soon apparent
Mr. Frank Hayes handled the lead
ing role with all of his old time pro,
fessonal ability and fervor, while
Sherwood Croclier, as the kindly and
forgiving Bruce Hunter, did well.
Ernest Barlow, as the versatile
news monger, seemed perfectly at
home and would have no difficulty
in securing steady "sit" on any
up to-date metropolitan sheet.
W. P. Kennedy, as "Scud" the
'culled gem'n, sab, and George
Durfee, as Larry the Irishman, were
the mirth provokers of the play.
John johnson, young and dashing,
proved himself "A captivating lover.
And the lady members of the com
pany, what shall we say of them ?
Suffice it that eacn portrayed the role
selected for her to perfection and
without falter. Mrs. Geo P. Manley
as Mother Carey" the witch, had
a most difficult part to handle, and
did it with all the sang froid of an
old time stager.
Mrs. Will Patterson as ''Bess Star
bright was full of life and vim, and
caused visions of sandy beaches and
salty pillows to form in one S mind
Miss Florence Page, as the roman
tic Minnie Daze. was as romantic as
one could wish for and interpreted
the character nicely.
The original Irish "Biddy, - jist
over from the ould countree, - lived
and breathed as natural as life in Mrs
Frank Hayes.
Between the acts Geo p Manley,
as "Reuben, and John Van Hook, MS
Cynthia, with their witty and at
times rather caustic local hits, kept
the house in an uproar of laughter.
While there was fair attendance,
the company was entitled to packed
house, though the charity fund of the
lodge will be augmented to the ex
tent of $l52 10.
Frank Hayes, as manager and stage
director, deserves especial mention fol
the thoroughness OF his work, ali
amateurishness being eliminated. and
those nm Ter him placed on footing
equal to any first class troupe and
ready to take the road.

Remembers His Friends

A farmer in speaking before an in
stitute of his profession recently said :
AS. a rule the farmer knows no firm
er friend than the country press. the
home paper is distinctly supported
directly by the farmers who compose
the backbone of the printers subscrip-
tion list and largely for what the en-
terprising merchant advertises. Now,
brother, let us not forget our friends
Let us see that our subscription is paid
before the first of January and a year
in advance if we can afford it The
man or the paper that fights my bat
ties shall have my support. Another
thing: the merchants who advertise
are the ones who make it possible foI
us to get good local paper and the
men or firms who are too penurious to
advertise and help support the local
press have no right to the farmers
patronage. | propose hereafter to so
to IA good live advertiser and a man
who will do his share in supporting
the local press. thus contributing to
my support, rather than buy Of any
man who proposes to take all and give
nothing in return. If farmers as "A
class would support their friends, the
other fellows would soon go, out of

Rough on the TenderfOOt

JuuRe w NalDIluSe says tHdI lHe
'tenjerfeet' of Steamboat Springs
are complaining woefully abuut the
wretched' snow banks in this town
and those of them who have not al
ready done so are threatening to leave
in the spring for the gold fields of Ne
vada. the judge says that this sea
son is nothing compared to what he
witnessed at Hahn's peak in 1891
while living there as county judge of
this county He says that during the
winter of 1891 there were no horses at
Hahn peak from November, 1890
to May, 1891, and that the mails We're
carried from the Elk river bridge to
the peak during that time on snow
shoes, and that he snowshoed at the
peak on the 10Th day of May of that
year. He says that the snow on the
level in 1891 was ~ feet deep by ac-
tual measurement at Hahns peak,
and that for two days during tn
winter he never left his cabin for any
purpose whatsoever, having wood
and water sufficient to last him for
that time, and that the snow was
piled up against the cabin door at
least 10 feet in front, and that when
he did reappear from his cabin it was
by opening the door and tupnelling
an aperture through the snowbank in
front with large shovel he always
kept for that purpose.
His cabin was near the main
springs of the town tnat supplied the
same. with water pipes therefrom,
but that he got his supply of water
from the main spring, and that dur
ing the time he was incased in his
cabin the snow had accumulated about
this spring for the depth of IA feet,
and that to get water therefrom he
had to construct snow steps to get up
and down to this spring for water to
use. This may take the Routt coun-
ty tenderfoot by surprise, although it
is nevertheless true.
He says that living on his ranch
at Hayden in 1885 he walked on the
crust from there to Peck fording,
distance of four miles below, on the
10th day of April of that year, which
is now unusual, since the snow in that
locality seldom reaches three feet for
any year since the settlement is com
plete.
In 1895 the government thermome-
ters in this town gauged 56 degrees he
| low zero on the 18th day of February
of that year; that the snow at that
time was four and one half feet deep
at Steamboat Springs; that his record
shows that his thermometer gauged
"A below zero on the 18th day of Feb
ruary, 1895, and 40 below on the Both
of March of that year; and that the
thermometer did not reach so low a
limit as that again in March until
1898. when it gauged % below zero on
the 23d day of that month at 7 o clock
a. m. And since then the tempera
ture seems to have moderated great
ly in this locality.
The judge says it is quite amusing
to see these "tenderfeet' shiver and
groan about the 'wretched' climate
of Colorado, and threaten to remove
to some more congenial clImate-such
for instance as Goldfeld or California.
He says he does not think that they
will be missed to any very great ex
tent -Routt County Sentinel.

Yale Very Confident.

The lightest kind of work was the pro-
gram OF the Yale varsity yesterday Signal
practice kicking and detail work were all
the men were required to do and they went
at the work most heartily. There was no
scrimmage. The men are all in fine shape
except Tad Jones, and even there the
probabilities favor his getting into the Co.
iumbia game. The star quarter back has
recovered almost entirely from his recent
hurt and kicked and went through the sig
nal practice in fast style. He was also
drilled in running back punts, and while
there Is chance that he may not be put In,
he certainly Will be IL Trainer Mack says
he is right.
The coaches had Hutchinson kicking field
goals back OF the varsity line. and he did
good work from the twenty -fve-yard line
Roome was also given work punting, and
be showed fine form. feeling of absolute
confidence is felt at Yale that the eleven
will defeat Columbia. The main squad went
to New York last night at o'clock The
backfieid that started the game against
West Point will be in at the commencement
of the Columbia contest. Several changes
will be made, however during the progress
of the contest Some of the heavier backs

DAN PATCH EQUALS
WORLDS RECORD

MEMPHIS, November 4.-With display
Of courage that caused spectators to stand
and cheer. Dan Patch, the unbeaten pacing
champion. yesterday traversed the mile
course at Billings Park in 1.5914. succeeding
in establishing figures corresponding ex-
actly to the time-honored mark created
by Star Pointer at Readville in 1897, and
by Audubon Boy at the same course this
year.
Two runners, each hooked to a sulky, ac-
companied Dan Patch In the trial. No
wind shield was used and no pace preceded
the gallant horse to break atmospheric re-
sistance. The timers were Ed Geers, Ben
White and Murray Howe, and the frac-
tional time was 30 .591a. 1.29. 1.59M. The
first and last quarters were reeled on In the
slowest fashion. Trainer and Driver Her
sey took the precaution to rate Dan Patch
to his fastest effort during the middle
stages. the second and third quarters be-
ing stepped in .29L4 each
Announcement was made that Dan Patch
would try to beat the two-minute mark
According to the rules of the trotting
tribune it was announced that yesterday s
performance was, therefore. a winning one,
and the time will be credited to Dan Patch,
although on two previous occasions 1t Is
said that Dan Patch was denied recog-
milton after hanging up mile in 1.594, on
the technicality that announcement was
not made that an effort would be made to
beat that time.

The More Useful Sex.


Some interesting biological and isociolog-
ical facts have lately been published about
women which are calculated to exalt the
ostensibly weaker sex in its own eyes and
also in those of men. We have previously
pointed out the conclusion reached by GER
tain scientists that the average life OF wo-
man should. and under normal circum-
stances would. exceed slightly the average
life of man in respect of duration. Now
comes an English biologist, Mr.. T. III. Mont
gcmery, who, after "A general review OF she
de ia presented by the anatomy and evolu-
tion of various invertebrate and vertebrate
animals, maintains that the male is less
developed and more embryonic than the fe-
male. So far the invertebrates and the
iuwer vertebrates are concerned, the female
Is clearly superior. When, within this 'ie.a

Harvard Boys Fear Indians.

The Harvard team had its last practice
in preparation for the Indians on Soldiers
Field yesterday afternoon, and all Cam
bridge is on tiptoe with excitement over the
game. Judging from the interest in the
Brown contest last Saturday, which at
tracted fully 1900 persons, the attend
ance today should be a record-breaker.
Seats are at a premium. As the team
stands, its weakest positions will be the
ends, and IL the Indians aim their plays at
these positions successfully 1t Is likely to
go hard with the Crimsons. On the other
hand. if the Indians attempt to go through
the line Haryard's superior weight is likely
to come out ahead. Trick plays also are
much feared. Harvard men stiil remember
the time the Indians tucked the ball up
Dilon's back on kickoff and scored
against the Crimson eleven.
According to Prof. Horatio s. White,
chairman of the Harvard athletic commit
tee, there is strong hope of peaceful set
tlement OF the Pennsylvania difficulty.
There Is no hard feeling In the matter the
professor says; in fact, there never has been
between Pennsylvania and Harvard. This
statement leads Harvard men to believe
that the athletic committee has replied to
the answer to their protest received from
Pennsylvania without accepting the Quaker
terms. The spirit In which this honest DIFF
ference of opinion Is being threshed out.

and Fitzsimmons himself. Coffroth made
Fitz an offer of SO, coo or 90 per cent OF the

thing and he told Coffroth that If O'Brien
was satisfied these conditions would suit

Coffroth wired the ex-champion's terms to

Coffroth intends to clinch two more bat
ties for his club before he leaves town.
