Pike centenpial Program Arranged.

Pike Centennial Program Arranged.
An outline of the program to be OBJ
served in Colorado Springs the last
week in next September indicates
that the centenary celebration planned
will be the greatest of the kind ever
held in the country. The one-hun-
dredth anniversary of the discovery
of Pixies Peak by Zebulon Montgom-
cry Pike Is the occasion, and the mill
tary and civil features give ample
range for novel effects. The executive
committee have taken every advan-
tage of the unique conditions to ar
range spectacle that will appeal to
ALL
In addition to the. military displays,
.parades, war dances, cowboy sports,
etc., there will be golf and automobile
tournaments. The program has been
arranged to present an allegorical pic
ture of the state from the advent of
General Pike to the present day. 1t
will be of peculiar interest to the peo-
pie Of the East, many of whom yet
entertain the idea that Colorado is the
home of only the buffalo and savage
Indian tribes. The celebration will
serve to demonstrate to the entire
country that Colorado, although pne OF
the youngest states, is one of the
greatest in the Union. f-.~'

other that they have no military capac-
ity; another that they are incapable
of playing a significant part in the po-
litical regeneration Of the nation owing
to absence of a national spirit. With
out pausing to discuss these PROPOSE
tions in detail, will ask If these things
could not have been said, with con-
siderable semblance of truth, about Ja-
pan half a century ago? And they were
no more true of the Japanese people
then they are of the Chinese people to-
day. The Chinese as a people have
never been aVerse to modern progress,
except as their government has melted
the to be, and used its authority and in
tiuence to keep them as they were, And
this is true, l think, Of the history Of
all people. Take the matter of rail-
roads in China. For many years, or
so long as the official classes circulated
among the people fantastic reports
about the foreign steam monsters, so
long as they We're taught to believe
that the passage of railway would be
a dissertation of the graves of their an
cestors, the people were bitterly histile
to the building of such roads and were
easily melted to attack surveying par
ties and the like.-Scrbner' Monthly.

AWAKENING OF CHINA.

Turning to purely internal evidences
Of the awakening of China, they may
be found on every side. And while
foreign and quas-foreign influence will
be deeply felt in the Forthcoming trans
formation, the Fundamental factors
are to be found in the people and coun-
try; for whatever political manifesto
tions attend the evolution, these will
always remain the chief elements with
which they must be worked out, After
several visits to China and observation
of and association with them in peace,
internal disorder and war, l confess to
a sincere liking and admiration of the
Chinese people. This is no sudden or
sentimental impression, but rather one
which has evolved gradually from an
originally adverse predisposition. In so
far as any general characteristics can
be associated with race, it seems to
me that the Chinese are industrious,
reliable, lawabiding, good-humored,
capable and tolerant. These are good
qualities, and, intelligently directed in
the path of modern progress, cannot
fail to accomplish great results.
In the prevalent Western conception
of the Chinese there are. 1 think, sew
eral radical errors. One is that they are
adverse to modern Improvements; an

DO WE LOVE SHAKESPEARE?

DO WE LOVE SHAKESPEARE?
1t would seem, indeed, from the con-
dition of Shakespeare on our stage that
we all got enough of him in school. A
big noise Is made on the occasion of a
big priced production by big-adyer-
tized STAR that the full house refutes
the charge that Americans do not love
Shakespeare. 1t does no such thing.
1t refutes nothing but the supposition
that Americans love anything so muca
as bigness. To take the monetary sue
cuss of occasional and extraordinary
performances, appealing to our liking
for the unusual and the demonstrative,
as indicative of love, suggests that we
no longer know what love is. Love of
Shakespeare on the stage would means
the success of frequent, ordinary per-
formances in every town large enough
for a high school and theater. Such,
Germany. Or, again, of Shakespeare.
For it is not only in her own dramatist,
but in ours as well, that Germany can
teach us what art~loVe is. The APP
probation of Shakespeare is far more
general and genuine there than here.
The continuousness of his success, de-
spite the frequency and medIocrity of
the performances, despite the lack Of
all bigness and eclat, shows that it is
Shakespeare that is loved. But then,
what could one expect? The Germans
do not, like us, get enough Of him in
school.-W. G. Parsons in the Atlantic.

UNNECESSARY NOISES.

AS for myself, met with disapproval,
but scarcely with encouragement on
the part of five persons whom ! inter-
viewed in my recent efforts to suppress
the unnecessary blowing Of whistles
along the water front of Manhattan
Island; policeman, a steamboat ofti-
cial, physician, an army officer, and q
real-estate owner. What about the
BLOWN of whistles?" inquired the first,
Indignantly ''Aw! anybody who OBJ
jects to whistles don't konw what
they're talkin about" The same sem
timent was expressed by the steamboat
official. Il don't believe itp' he exclaim
ed, when shown few Whistling re-

and then added: "Ohl well, | suppose
you did hear them, but then you folks

whistles from the harbor off in-----t

C. H. Holbrook, who Is with her aunt
in Pacific Grove, Cal, eighty miles
from Frisco, was a great relief to her
friends here. She gives a report as
follows: They were awakened by the
swaying of the house, which was like
that Of ship at sea, her aunt rushing
to open the door before 1t became jam
med as it's often the case during an
earthquake. The earth was cracked
very deeply in places and the rails OF
the steam road were severely twisted.
A large hotel, the Del Mornte, one Of
the largest In the world, with large and
beautifully kept grounds, presented a
deplorabe condition. The twenty-five
chlmneys were all ruined, the bricks
crashing through the building and a
bride and groom who arrived there the
night before were killed in their bed.
Eight hours after they were out driving
the overs were then swaying as though
blown by breeze, and as all wires
were down no report had reached us
