COLORADO CONFERENCE

On Wednesday of last week the
Colorado Conference met in Cheyenne
with Bishop Grant presiding. Its de
liberations lasted over until Sunday
plight and closed with the universal
verdict that it was the best session
ever held. The Bishop made an ideal
presiding officer and in every case
where decision was made, chose the
broad view which characterizei the
big hearted and broad minded man.
The selection of charges suitable to
all is impossible, but so fairly did he
treat everyone that he may look for
ward to the fullest cooperation from
al his ministers. The reports OF the
year were above those OF last year in
all departments, more than $1,000 dol

pointments were: Colorado Springs

That Alligator.

Again it is said, according to Ber-
wick and Bloomsbury papers, that an
alligator is playing havoc in the quiet
waters of the Sus4uehanna aud al.
though the peaceful slumbers of thos G
living nearby have not been disturbed, !,
yet it is said that the monster has been
seen along side n rock in midstream
hand has even been SO bold as to come
out on the shore aud bask i'm the sun,
just the same as if he were at his ma =
tive home in the swsmps of Florida.
The old story of one having escaped
from one Of the large cirouses is again
trumped up but we have heard of noth-
ing of this Kind, since the show season
opened
One excited man who works about
the river goes SO far as to say that he
believes the fishy creature which he
saw was as large a, hippopotamus.
Another saw the monster through n
iield glass yesterday at noon and he
says that it looked to be about seven
feet long. This diminslles the former
assertion mewIIat but then the man
who spoke first is of an excitable dis
position.
Swimming boys have been relieved
from the scare, by the statement that
Clyde Croft while fishing caught the
supposed monster and that it was only

Borough Should Decorate.

The suggestions made in these COL

some part in the decorations required
for the Fourth of July seems to coin-
eide with the view of all about town
who have been heard to express them
selves on tho subject. With no excep.
tion they seem to. fall in with the idea
of all electrical display. while not a
few think the Borough would only he
doing its duty by employing in sditit II

Great Men Who We're Little.

Canon Kingsley not long before his
death drew attention to the number of
short men who could be seen in Lon
don crowd. He looked upon it as sign
of the deterioration of the race. But
there are those who look at it as an
indication of progress In intellectual
lines at least, for many If not most Of
the great men of history have been men
below the medium height. Canute the
Great was singularly small man. Ma
poleon was undeniably short, Nelson
had no height of which he could boast,
and tho great Conde was hardly more
than five feet tall. Hildebrand-Greg-
ory VII.-the greatest of all the popcs,
was quite dimlnutive person. Mon
talgne was short; so was Pope, "a little
crooked thing that asked questions;"
so was Dryden, and so was Scarron,
who alluded to himself as IAN abridg-
ment of human miseries" on account of
his short stature and Ill health.

PRIDE
DESTRUCTIVE

n RIDE has been the cause of de-
II struction to many a poor, de-
luded mortal, and today this same
curse is a stronger and still growing
force. Deep down in the vortex of
sin plunge the victims on all sides,
never to be able to arise to their form
er level.
Jealousy breeds the vanity that
corrupts the soul and brings the dis
grace. If we were created with
broader mind and soul, or rather
taught to cultivate these blessings, we
would not know selfshness.
Ofttimes when man becomes the
subject of envy and jealousy, it starts
pride that develops into so great a
vanity as to cause the same destruc-
tive results as those entertained by
his Jealous brother.
The lntelligencer does not possess
jealousy and is not antagonistc. OF
course, it has no reason to be jealous
of any other paper in the county; and
while it continues to grow more and
more popular, as THE PAPER, we
find We would have no time to be-
come vain if we even cared to do so.
So much for being busy. Again, we
are not selfish our spirit delights in
others prosperity as well as our owD,
and any person possessing a like spirit
could not be antagonistic.
Just the other day we were told
that certain "jealous, sore, antago-
nistic - paper made itself $50 child
ish" as to declare that we go to
Georgetown to get brains. How ri
diculous How absurd How child
like You can see it all at a glance.
1t requires no thought. It's not in
it. IT'S ALL JEALOUSY.

A well known artist recently received
a letter from chap who has regularly
made 1t practice to borrow money
Of him. In this letter the chap who is
always in financial difficulties surpris-
ed his correspondent by saying:
This time | have decided to reverse
the usual order of things, and, instead
OF borrowing from you, inclose here
with $50, which am going to ask that
you will lay aside for me for rainy
day"
But the artist couldn't find any re-
mittance in the letter. He searched for
1t on the floor, under the table-ln fact,
everywhere he thought he might have
dropped 1t. Then quite accidentally he
turned over the sheet on which the let
ter was written and discovered this

Cuban Giants VS.. DanViue

The mercury scored 9o on Monday
afternoon at $3.50 when play was call
ed on the beautiful diamond at De-
Wits Park, and at the close of
which game the score stood 3 to | in
favor of the Giants. The local team
was first at. the bat, arl n tie hrsL
inning succeeded in earning il nice,
clean run. The visitors were goose
egged three times in succession, then
in the fourth inning they scored IA
run; and again in the eighth inning
the Giants added two more runs,
which gave them the victory. Again
the audience, which was large and in
telligent, saw the contest quite differ
ent from Mr.. Jones, the getlemanly
umpire, thus changing the score,
which " "might have been" in favor
of cur boys. The contest throughout
was most respectful, not profane nor
vulgar expression came from the lips
of either club or good natured folks
in attendance. The public is indebt-
ed to Manager Mccoy, of the home
team, and John NJ. Bright, of the
Giants, for this happy and satisfactory
result.
TUESDAYS GAME.
On Tuesday afternoon the weather
was not quite so warm, but the home
team made it warmer for the Giants,
for they fumed and fretted, and kick
ed at every trivial opportunity, es-
pecally ludicrous was the scene when
the short-stop of the visitors objected
to the umpire's decision in calling the
runner out at the plate ; everybody in
the grand stand, just behind the
catcher, saw at glance when he
touched the Cuban; then why should
a player twice the distance away dis
cuss question which is so absurd
May be it was because the re-
suit of the contest seemed altogether
different from that Of Monday after
noon, for the score was reversed
three to one in favor of the Danville
team. In the fifth inning the local
team made four clean base hits and
scored two earned runs, which in it.
