er. and George Falconer. the present
efficient secretary, as secretary.

new ideas. which will be enlarged
upon at future meetings, when the
work for the year is fully planned.
President McMullin announced
that at the next regular meeting he
would name the various committees
and suggested that the work of the
board of directors would be greatly
simplified. If, following the plan now
generally adopted in corporate bod
les, the principal work would be
done by the committees. This sug-
gestlon met with general approval.
The regular meeting night, Fri

OLDEST MAN IN STATE PRISON.

Canon City, Colo, Jan. III. A.
Cameron, who was, in point of SER
vice. the oldest man in the peniten-
tiary. has been released from prison
after an Incarceration of eighteen
years and nine months. having
served under the system of credit
in vogue there a sentence of thirty
five years.
Cameron, who was No. 1916 on
the penitentiary register, was sem
fenced for life from Delta county in
1885 for murder, but, for good be-
havlor. his sentence was commuted
to thirty-fve years, which, in the
manner stated, has expired.
Cameron was an unusually intel
ligent and interesting man and while
in prison invented an apple and po-
tato parer which he patented. These
he sold for 10 cents each, and when
he was discharged from prison he
had more than $500 to his credit.
Cameron occupied one cell in the
penitentiary for period of thirteen
years.

"A FATAL WEDDING"

The performance of the melo-
drama, "a Fatal Wedding" at the
Park opera house last night was
very creditable, and the adudience.
which was of fairly good size, was
well pleased with the play. The
best character in the entire cast was
Jessie" 1.-The lettle mother" played
by Gussie Shires. The little girl
played her difficult part in a manner
that won the admiration of all. There
was none of the forced acting about
her that usually characterizes a child
performer. Few. if any, better child
artists have ever appeared on the
local stage. Several of the other
characters were well taken. Marie
Pert. as Bridget" was fine. There
were some very stirring scenes and
the story of the play is very inter
esting. The climax of the third act
is lively and the wedding scene in
the last act is thrilling enough. THE
Fatal Wedding" is good melo-
drama and a capable company gave
it an excellent production last night.
The next attraction at the opera
house, following the home talent
play, will be Ole Olson. the great
Swedish play.

Judge Caswell does not think that
the revolutionary measures that are
being pursued will succeed and he
expressed himself this afternoon that
the manner of intimidation and the
unconstitutional methods being
adopted were fast wreeking the re-
publican party and that the sober
sense of good republicans would new
er subscribe to the methods in force
in Denver.
Senator DeLong is leader and
in the seevral capcuses of the party
read the riot act and told them that
he was willing to stand by any pro-
gram in the distribution of officers
or anything else for the good veal
of the republican party; but he
would not subscribe to program
that was unconstitutional to seat Gov
ernor Peabody.

rights and will not swerve a hairs

was without legal force because the
committee of fifteen of the rump

a part of the conspiracy of the Pea

that Boss Evans had decided to per-
nit the legislature to issue the cer-
tifcate to Adams and permit Pea
