The paper reads as follows:
"Realizing the great need of better
roads In the state of Colorado. and rec
ognizing the awakened interest in the
subject, a call has been issued for
good roads convention, to be held in
Denver. at the Chamber OF Commerce
building, Fourteenth and Lawrence
streets, July 27 and 2S. 1905.
1.-The organization of the convention
is as follows:
'The mayor of each city to appoint

"The commercial organization of
each city to appoint three delegates.
"The county commissioners of each

ALSO all commissioners and road

But Congress Continues in Session.
Moscow. July 20.-The Zemstvo
Congress opened at midday yesterday
in the residence of Prince Dolgorou-
kor.
The congress was attended by 225
delegates. Count Heyden. leader OF
the deputation representing the con-
gress recently received by the en-
peror. presided.
NJ. Golovine, president of the organ
izing committee. had barely started

placed in the way OF the congress. an
nouncing that Governor General Kose-
loff had promised that there would be-
no recourse to extreme measures.
when the chief OF police, with numer-
GUS commssaries and officials, en-
tered the room.
The chief announced that the pre-
feet had prohibited the meeting of the
congress and ordered the seizure OF
the documents. Count Heyden pro-
tested against the proceedings, but
the chief of police began taking the
names of the delegates. Then cries
were raised of write down the whole
of Russia"
Many persons present who were not
delegates to the congress requested
that their names also be taken. The
police then departed in order to draw
up summonses and the session was re-
sumed.
The scheme of a national assembly
on the basis outlined by the commit
tee presided over by NJ. Bouligan. min
lister of the Interior was minutely and
critically discussed and denounced az
totally inadequate to remove Russias
internal grievances, because. including
property qualification and an cleo
toral system by classes. IL prevented
the assembly from truly Interpreting
the will of the nation, while the exclu-
sion of numerous categories OF citi-
zens from the franchise was a contra
diction OF the principle~ OF equity and
reasonable state policJ.
At the same time 1t was recognized
that the proposed assembly would
comprise a considerable portion Of the
social forces of the empire. and serve
as the center of social movement
which would tend to secure political
liberty and regular national represen-
tation.
Therefore. 1t was considered desir-
able that in the event of the carrying
out of the Bouligan or similar pro-
ject, the delegates OF the Zemstvos
and municipalities should participate
in the assembly to the greatest possi-
BILE extent, with the object OF forming
compact group and to obtain a guar
antee OF individual and public liberties.

head of the Roebling corporation of
Trenton, N. j.. while sitting at her
drawing-room window few days ago
saw flames coming from her fathers
immense stable. Miss Roebling rushed
out and unaided rescued nine thor;
oughbred horses. says the New York
Times. The gardener summoned the
fire department.
When the first hose carriage turned
into the yard the horses took fright
at the steep incline to the barn and
started to run away in the direction
of the large conservatory where Mr..
Roebling raises his valuable and ia
nous orchids.
Miss Roebling, who is noted for her
daring horsemanship. grabbed the off
horse by the bride and this turned
the animals head away from the glass
house. By this time Miss Roebling
was a full-hedged volunteer member
of the paid fire department. She as
sisted in recoupling burst length of
hose and seemed to enjoy the wetting

but $500 damage.

Stories Of High, Society

F. Leveson-Gower. long prominent
in England. has lately published a vol
ume of "reminiscences, in which he
tells the story of Princess Lieven:
What the princess chiefly suffered
from was intense boredom, which
amounted almost to disease. If no.
body called during the afternoon she
would roll on the floor from ennui.
On one occasion, when on her way
from England. she got so much alarm
ed at the prospect of travelling from
Calais to Paris alone that she offered
a seat in her carriage to a respectable
looking clergyman on board the
steamer. which he joyfully accepted.
When seated beside her he talked so
necessarily as to drive her wild. She
could only relieve her feelings by put
ting her head out of the window and
screaming out to the wind. IL men
nuie-il m'ennuie!' (He fatigues

In the SOS Mr.. Leveson-G Cover re-
sided in st. Petersburg. He tells this
story: "Oopposite to our house was
drawn up a regiment called Paulov-
ski. formed by the Emperor Paul, all
the men having turned-up noses. and
therefore resembling him. 1t seems 1t
was the fashion here to compose regi-
ments of men who have the same sort

The installation of grand master
of the Chinese secret orders in the
United States, popularly known as the
"Chinese Freemasons," has aroused
interest in the question Of the connec-
ton between the Chinese secret socie-
ties and the Masonic body, says the
Washington Star. Allusions to Chi
nese Freemasonry" appear periodical
ly in the newspapers. though, accord
ing to the Cyclopedia of Fraternities,
there is no such thing as Freemason-
ry among the Chinese.
The only Masonic lodges in Chica
are in the foreign concessions at the
seaports. Their membership is COM
posed exclusively of others than Chi
nese and they are conducted under
foreign warrants. The rites of the
Chinese secret societies bear some re-
semblance to those of the Free
masons, which accounts for the popu.
lar supposition Of a connection be-
tween the two. The similarity, though
more apparent than real, is remark
able in view of the antiquity of both,
and the impossibility of either to have
been patterned after the other.
China is filled with secret societies,
most of which have for their object
the overthrow of the Using dynasty,
with pretended benevolent signifi-
cance of the organization. The most
powerful of these societies. the Ka-

Another Finland eombthrower.

Helsingfors, Finland. July 20.-Late
yesterday afternoon. two hours after
Karl Leonard Hohenthal had been SEN
fenced to Imprisonment for life at hard
labor for the assassination of Procur-
ator General Soisalon Soininen, Feb
ruary 9th last. an attempt was made to
assassinate Vice Governor Deurch as
he was leaving the Senate. The vice
governor had walked across the square
when suddenly as he neared the police
masters Office a man on the curb
threw bomb from distance of fifty
PAGES. The bomb fell short. but the
vice governor was blown OFF his feet
by the terrific force of the explosion.
which shattered the windows in the
neighborhood for distance of hun
dreds of yards.
Vice Governor Duerch was hastily
assisted to the police station. He was
burned and otherwise injured about
the legs and bled profusely, but his
wounds are declared not to be fatal.
The bomhthrower was pursued by
naval cadets, but escaped.

Loco Weed Concession.

Denver, July 20.-Cattlemen who
have leases on the state land in the
range districts lying to the east of
Denver have been calling on the State
Land Board for months for a decrease
In their rentals on account of the de
creased grazing value of the lands
through the spread of loco weed upon
1t. Yesterday the Land Board gave
a hearing to the leasers and after a
careful consideration of the question.
agreed to make a new lease for the
lands between the state and the cat
tlemen
There will be a new contract made
for ten years. This will provide that
the cowmen shall make an effort to
kill off the loco weed and to partially
reimburse them for this expense, the
state is to reduce the rental on the
lands for the first five years Of the
lease from its present price of cents
to 2k cents an acre; after the first
fiye years the price shall be restored
to cents an acre.
The Ieasers on these terms are Rob.
ert Ling. 10000 acres; Weaver &
Bond. 10000; Harrison, Douglas &
Douglas, $4,000. and William Holmes
of Buttes, 10000. The board was en-
phatic in its declaration that no other
changes would be made and no more
land leased at less than the minimum
of cents an acre. The loco problem
Is becoming a serious one and this
lease was made to the men named as
an experiment, to see whether they
can. as they claim, kill out the pest,

Novelty in Fish Catching

city street. BY strange coincidence
of names, and fsherman's luck, Ar
thur Dodge had to dodge to avoid be-
ing bitten by fish on his way home
from work. AS he and a friend alight-
ed from car they noticed something
foundering around in the water that
covered the street, which on investi-
cation proved to be a carp about 10
inches long. They caught a second
