Mrs. TeviS
Married

Philadelphia, Pa. Jan. 12.-(Spe-
cial. Mrs. Cornelia Baxter Tevis,
formerly of Denver. and daughter of
Former Governor George w. Baxter
of Tennessee. was married at the
Hotel Wilson yesterday to Andrew
Hart Mckee of Pittsburg.
The ceremony. which was per-
formed by Rev. e. Yates Hill of the
First Presbyterian church. was wit
messed by the parents Of the bride
and also by Mr.. and Mrs. Sellers Nc
Kee. parents of the bridegroom.
Mrs. Mckee was the widow of
Hugh Tevis OF California Mr.. Nc
KEGS former wife was granted a
divorce in Pittsburg Monday and this
marriage occurred Tuesday. The
sudden marriage brings to the re-
membrane of the public the very
hearty denials made by Mrs. Tevis
that she and A. Hart Mckee were
to be married. because of the trip
they had made together across the
ocean.
When Mckee also returned from
Europe he denied the story that he
was to be married. and went into
a maudlin statement of the relations
then existing between Phipps and
his wife, the latter with whom Nc
Kee was charged with having had
a love affair.

Contest Filed
With Senate

Denver. Jan. Especial -
Former Governor Peabody this
morning filed his contest with the
senate. 1t is alleged that while the
returns of this county show plur-
ality of 4.O9S for Adams, Peabody
should be credited with plurality
of G,SOO.
: The legislature is asked to throw
out 1OS precincts carried by Ad
ans in this city. Extensive frauds
are also alleged in Adams. Boulder,
Las Animas and Pueblo counties.
Immediately upon the presentation
OF the contest the senate was asked
to adopt a resolution requesting both
houses next Tuesday to canvass the
matter. The resolution went over
to permit the senators to caucus. If
the Peabody program is followed the
resolution will be adopted; both
houses will meet in joint session next
Tuesday, and the committee of fif-
teen appointed by the rump assem-
bly, will be named to hear the con-
test. This plan is meeting with de-
cided opposition from some of the
republicans, and it is extremely
doubtful if it will be carried out.
The corporations are badly divid-
ed over the matter. The public util-
ity corporations. the Colorado Fuel
G. Iron Company and the Denver
tramway and other interests of Bill
Evans desire to press the matter,
while the railroads are willing to
let the matter of the contest drop.

\ Great Lecture.

Last night Dr. Green. the noted
lecturer, was heard by large and
most appreciative audience at the
congregational church. The snow
kept many away from the entertain
ment and consequently the crowd
was not as great as the usual attend
ance AZ iyceum attraction.
Dr. Green simply electrified his
audience. and all who heard him
declare that his address was one of
the very finest ever delivered from
the platform in this city. He took
for his subject THE Key to the
Twentieth Century" He spoke of
American advancement, the great
ness of our nation, the marvellous
development, the unreachable vast
ness of it's territory, and then looked
into the future and wondered what
it held for America, the greatest ma
tion of the earth. All of these great
ideas he discussed in a manner that
could but prove entertaining to the
most unthinking hearer. He talked
of American history in light entire
ly new to those who heard him. His
discussion of the future of America
was intensely interesting. No ma
ton" declared the speaker. "ever
died of old age. Those that have
fallen to rise no more. died of rot
ten heart" Accumulation of vast
wealth and the constant grasping af-
ter greater wealth caused the down
fall of all nations. The higher prin-
ciples of life were forgotten in this
mad rush for wealth and then the
end came. The speaker would ap-
peal to the people of America, in
the light of history, to guard care
fully their footsteps that America
might not fall victim to avarice and
greed.
DR.. Green dwelt upon the great
resources OF the country and in n
unique and highly entertaining man
ner brought before the audience sta
tistics showing the vastness of Amer
lean territory He said that the
state of Iowa alone could be taken,
divided up into tracts of 2 4 acres
each, AMI the people of the United
States apportioned in families of five
members and there would be a tract
of 2 u acres for each family, thus
putting the entire population of the
country in one state. Yet" said the
speaker. Iowa is only half the size
of Colorado Still further this idea
of greatness was carried out Take
the state of Texas and divide the
state up into lots of so by $50 feet
and you will have a comfortable lot
earth, and around the entire terri
tory there will be a strip one mile
in width for the armies of the world
to maneuver upon"
We will make no attempt to give
a thorough review of the great ad-
dress. Everyone should have heard
it. AS an orator and a word painter
DR.. Green surely has but few equals.
Some portions of his lecture last
night were sublimely beautiful. The
speaker has wonderful command
of the language and his graceful
movements on the platform, his fine.
clear voice. all combine to make him
one of the kings of the lyceum plat
form.
The next attraction on the lyceum
course will be the Saunders Concert
Company which appears here the lat
ter part of February.
