ORDERED BIZ GOVERNMENT.

Little Italy has two mysteries
cleared up, and breathes more freely.
One is why Angelina Pascaiini worked
40 hard and spent so little, ana the
other is why Angelina PaSca1ni al
yyavs insisted on seeing the papers
that are printed in English, which Ian
guage everybody knew Angelina could
not read. Angelina is now married
and the two mysteries deal with this
marriage.
In order that it may be known who
Angelina is, let it be stated that he
hailed from Genoa, in Big Italy-from
Genoa where the sun shines brightly
and the sky is tinted blue and red;
where men work slowly and live easily,
the money is very scarce. In the
course of the eighteen years which had
rolled over Angelino's head before a
far-seeing padrone packed him into
the Steerage of very uncertain ship
and sent him sailing over the hilly
water to America, it may be doubted
if Angelina had seen altogether of his
own as much money as the equivalent
of five dollars. Nevertheless, he had
been happy in Genoa. until he met
Nina-Nina, whose mother came from
Spain.
After he met Nina, by his own &C.
count, Angelina was no longer happy.
He realized then how very poor he
was, and how far away was marriage
with Nina. He worked as hard as he
could, and ate even more sparingly
than was the wont of his countrymen
Of the black bread and garlic, and
drank less of the bitter red wine.
Nevertheless, his hoard increased
but slowly, and Angelina grew desper-
ate. He sought Nina, and told Ler of
the padrone. He would go to America.
She looked at him wonderingly with
her big black eyes, and promised to
wait.
Angelina, having made his adieus
and stuck one last candle under the
portrait Of his patron saint, went
away to America.
His welcome, in this country dis
pleased Angelina. He liked ice and
snow little, but the jeers of the people
he liked even less. True, the land
was discovered by one of his country
men, named Columbus, four hundred
years before But Angelina did not
know this, and it would not have made
much difference if he had. Those who
had profited by Columbus discovery
disliked Columbus countrymen, and
Angelina was made to suffer their dis
like.
However, he work on railroads,
and in other way, Until his debt to
the padrone was paid, and then he
began to work for himself. Despite his

THE GLORY OF TEXAS.
CELEBRATION OF HER SEVEN
HETH ANNIHERSARY Oh
INDEPENDENCE.

Every Defender of the Alamo was
SIain-Characterist Message OF
Old General Houston to Mexican
General Santa Ana.
The State of Texas, born some sixty
years too late to assist in the reVolu-
tionary events of '76, has its own In
dependence day in addition to the ma
tional Fourth Of July, which it shares,
however, with its sister states. This
patriotic state celebration occurred on
April q, the SEVENTEEN anniversary OF
the fight at the San Jacinto, where 500
Texans gave double their number or
kexicans one of the completest drub-
bings in military history.
Every schoolboy knows the story OF
San Jacinto as told in the books. But
there is in the Southwest a fire-side
tale about it which deserves to be bet
ter known. 1t is that the night before
the battle, the Mexican general, Santa
Ana, sent flag of truce to the Texan
camp with a summons to surrender
and an offer of pardon. Grim old Sam
Houston, the father" of Texas, heard
the message and said to one of his
aids:
Len ulH 10 SU W He1l! Ut tudL
into Spanish" And the aid, trans
lating the answer into the language of
Spanish military diplomacy, made or
alton as it appears in the books:
General Houston prays that you
will have the kindness to present his
compliments to General Santa Ana,
inform him that General Houston re-
grets to be constrained to reply that if
General Santa Ana desires our com
pany it will be necessary for him to
condescend to give himself the trouble
Of coming and getting u.s."
The biggest celebration Of San ia
cinto day was at San Antonio, for
there is the Alamo, and there was the
fight which came before San JacintO
and turned the blood of every Texan
engaged to fire and his nerves to cold
steel.
The defenders of the Alamo, though
bound by no law like those of Their
mopyiae, disdained to surrender. They
knew too well, from the fate of Nolan
and his hunters a generation before

Fond Memories.

A hard-headed old Pittsburgh manu-
facturer who made his fortune, as he
expresses it, with his coat off," was
induced by his daughters to accompany
them to a Wagner concert, the first
he had ever attended. The next day
he happened to meet an acquaintance
who had seen him the night before,
who asked:

my youth" the old man said, with a

WTFE LEADS BLIND~CHAPLAN.
One OF Hne Touching Sights In the
House of Representatives.

Few persons, who, on visits to the
House of Representatives, see Mrs.
Henry N. Couden, wife of the blind
chaplain, fail to be impressed by her
gentleness and dignity. With unfail-
ing fidelity she accompanies her hus-
band to the door of the House, and
after resigning him into the hands OF
a page she waits in the lobby until
the end Of his prayer. Then she ac-
companies him home. Mr.. Couden
seldom fingers in the House after his
PRAYER is finished, but few OF the
legislators, from the speaker down to
the youngest recruit, fail to salute him
and his gentle little wife. Mrs. Couden
resembles a Dresden figure in her
Powered silk and old-fashioned bonnet.
She cares not for changing styles, but
year after year she wears simple
gown of silk, with black bonnet tied
under her chin with fowered ribbons.

A portrait of the son and heir Of the
Car of Russia recently made public
seems to belle the statements issued
from abroad that the infant Czarevitch
is deaf mute and an IDIOT. The baby
prince is unusually bright and has
never had days illness in his %
months of existence, though many
papers have often reported him as be-
ing in an extremely critical condition.
Czarevitch Alexis, as he is officially
known, was born on August IL, 1904,
at the very darkest moment of the
fortunes of Russia during the war
with Japan. Notwithstanding the
trouble sometimes through which the
Russian government has passed, the
infant who will some day succeed to
the throne Of the Russian government,
has thriven in adversely. The ac-
companying portrait was taken at the
Russian Palace at the express wish Of
the Empress.

Excellent Recital.

The pipe organ recital given by
Prof. William Houseley of Denver
in First Presbyterian church last
Friday evening was one Of the most
pleasing musical events Of the sea-
son. Not alone was It the first re-
cital of the kind ever given in the
CITY, but the excellent rendition Of
the entire program by Prof. Houseley
made the event notable one.
Mrs. Kate Norcross-Gale, soprano,
who gave the vocal numbers on the
program, Is so we'll known In her
home town that II is sufficient to say
that she was at her best at this en-
tertainment.
About Ss5 was the net result Of
the evenings income. This Will
likely be applied to the pipe organ
fund OF the church.

The flood broke through the banks
Of the high line canal, which was
running full, carrying away a new
headgate and letting the whole
volume Of water pour down upon
cultivated fields below, doing much
damage to crops.
About twenty acres of beets on
Henry Millers' farm were entirely
washed out and his alfalfa field was
covered with mud and rocks. Gull
lies were cut by the flood in culti-
waited fields and crops of all kinds de-
stroyed. Several farms were almost
entirely covered with water The
water was shut off from the high
line canal as soon as possible after
the break. 1t will take several days
to put the canal In condition for
use. 1t is impossible to estimate the
damage at present. but 1t will
amount to several thousand dollars.

Miss Emma Hubbard, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. D. P. Hubbard, promi-
nent ranchers of that section, at.
tended the exercises with her par
ents. When they for moment be-
came separated the young lady disap-
peared and until Monday her parents
had not discovered her whereabouts.
The appearance for short time at
the exercises Of Ira Achison. a young
man who formerly worked for the
Hubbards, was supposed to explain the
disappearance. 1t was known at the
time that he vas paying court to
the young lady, who being under age
was unable to secure parental con-
sent to marriage. Young Achison ia
said to have promised to return for
his lady love as soon as she should be
eighteen years old. This promise Is
supposed to have been carried into
effect last Thursday evening.
The romance was, however, some
what spoiled last Sunday when Sher-
i'll Florance found the young woman
working at the home of Robert Aus.
tin. near Eaton, and the young man
working on one Thomas Farnswortf
farm nearby. Neither would discuss
the matter at all.

Plans Completed.

The Colorado g. Southern manage
ment has completed plans for elec-
trifying its line between Denver and
Boulder, has appropriated $500, 200 to
carry the plans through and will be-
gin work in few days. One car an
hour will be run between Denver
and Boulder and more when the
business is heavy. Vice President
A. D. Parker, speaking of the COM
pany's plans, says:
I'VE will run our electric cars
into Union depot over our present
line. Our franchise permits us to
operate locomotives propelled by any
power into the city over our own
right of way, so that it will not be
necessary to secure a franchise to
reach Union depot over an electric
line. We will not attempt to get
up town with our cars. Our term1-
nus at Union depot will serve just
as well.'

Fine Crucible Number.

The commencement number Of the
Crucible, the Normal school class
publication, is almost ready for dis
tribution and will be delivered June
1. This is the finest number ever
published by the Crucible stan.
There will be close to 100 pages OF
cuts, reading matter and advert>s-
ing. The cover design is an excel
lent original drawing by Miss Mary
Bassler, one of the students. An
unusually fine collection OF nail
tone cuts will adorn the number
and the reading matter Is OF the
usual high standard. The excel. .
ence of this number is due in great
measure to the efforts of the Crucible

ABSORBS OLD one
Spear Electric Road May Soon

The electric railroad projected by
George j. Spear and upon which he
has been quietly working for the
past three years, may, after all, soon
become a reality. But Mr.. Spear
will more than likely not build the
line.
Articles OF Incorporation were filed
in the office of the secretary of state
last Friday by the Denver, Greeley
g. Fort Collins Electric railway COM
pany. This new company has taken
over the franchises, rights of way,
and other tangible and intangible
property Of the Greeley and Northern
Railway and Utility company, and
except for certain amount of stock
they will hold In the new company
all of the local men IRE out OF the
deal. James D. Houseman. civil
engineer Of st. Louis, but who for
the past three months or more has
| made his home in Greeley while
working upon the surveys of this
project, is the only Greeley man
among the incorporators.
Mr.. Houseman's business has been
largely that of investigating PROPOSE
tions of this kind for eastern moneyed
men, and this was his mission mere.
So we'll was he satisfied with the
looks of the project that he moved
his family here and put corps OF
fifteen surveyors in the field, to
verify the surveys made by Mr..
Spears engineers and to extend the
line from the St. Vrain to Denver.
This work is now going on rapidly
and Mr.. Houseman states that he
will have his report ready to lay be-
fore his eastern hackers in about two
months.
If the cost of construction will
not be so great that the earning
capacity of the road can not show a
profit, from the prospective freight
and passenger business, the money is
ready to 60 ahead with the construc'
tion. In that case the line from
here to Denver, running on the west
side of the Platte. about midway be-
) tween the u. P. and C. & S. will b<
t completed within two years. Elec.
tricity will be the motive powel

The building will be erected OH
the old site opposite the park, In
tact the old structure will form part
of the new building. But so changed
and improved will everything about
it be that unless person is thor
oughly familiar with the old struct-
ure he will never be able to discover
it as part OF the detail of the new.
The cost of improvements, includ-
ing SO, 600 pipe organ, will be IN
the neighborhood OF $4,000.
A cut of the new building will
tell better than any description OF
the appearance. The interior will
seat over 100 persons. The floor Will
be sloped, by dropping the pulpit a
couple of feet. On either side of the
puplit will be room for the choir and
back of the pulpit the pipe organ.
In separate rooms back of the organ
wall will be the pastors study and
the choir room. Around the south
side of the auditorium. in the new
part of the building, will be row
of five class rooms for Sunday school.
Flanking these will be two par
loIs, all arranged in semi-circula1
form. All of these rooms can be
opened and pressed into service 1oi
al,ditorim in cases of large gather
ipes. There will also be gallery
over part of the old portion OF the
auditorium.
In the basement will be, first
children's room, and back of this
LARGE dining room. Then smaller

To Boulevard the Streets.

Some Of the residents on Normal
Hill have decided that considerable
beauty could be added to the streets
in that section if the spaces between
the sidewalk and street curb line
were properly parked, and have
asked the city council for permission
to cut down the street proper to forty
feet wide, thus giving fine wide
strip for parking. This with the
planting of trees in the proper place
will give a sort of boulevard appear

Of Fort Morgan.
The suit will contest the right
of the legislature to enact law dis

districts. Such a law was passed by
the last legislature, and under it the
district has appropriated school land
for the purpose of constructing
thereon reservoirs and bitches.
