MIR. LoRCH LAST NIGHT.

A big audience saw Theo. Loren
the young Russian actor. as Sher-
lock holmes in "The Sign of the
Four" last night at the Park opera
house. In his Interpretation of the
famous character of fiction, that won
derful London detective, Sherlock
Holmes. Mr.. Lorch was very good in
deed and is entitled to much credit
for his splendid work. His work last
night showed that he had given the
character the closest study as a result
his delineation of Sherlock Holmes
was almost ideal.
The supporting company was good
with one or two exceptions. We did
not like the portrayal of the character
DR.. Watson, there was far more fun
and humor about the character last
night than Conan Doyle brings out in
the lovable and dlgnified companion
of Holmes Miss Josephine Deffry
made a handsome Mrs. Sholot. The
other ladies of the company did ex
cellent work. The characters of Jon
athan Small, the one-legged man
and Tonga. the Idian dwarf, were
well portrayed.
The weakest character of the Who'll,
play was Athelney Jones the Scvottisl
yards inspector. The fellow who
takes this part comes very near no
being any sort of an actor.

OFF TO THE ASYLUM.

Last night on No the young man
who is violently insane and who has
been in the city jail for some time.
was taken to Pueblo to be confined in
the state asylum for the insane. DR..
Thadd Parker and Fire Chief Rogers
accompaied the unfortunate young
fellow. He was securely shackled
so that he could not do injury to any
person or to himself. His hands were
fastened in steel cuffs attached to a
strong belt circled around his body.
He was as violent as ever late yester-
day afternoon but became quieter be
fore the start for Pueblo was made
He was placed in the baggage car Of
the train In all probability the man
lac gave DR.. Parker and Chief Rogers
considerable trouble before they reach
ed Pueblo.
The officials have been unable to
locate or communicate with relatives
OF the young man. He has been con-
nected with a geological surveying
corps in the north western part of the
state. coming to Grand Junction
some few weeks ago. He was highly
educated, in fact it is said that he
was graduate from Oxford.
1t is a pitiable case.

A GREAT LECTURE.

Last night a large audience assem-
bled at the Methodist church and
gave the closest attention to one OF
the greatest and most interesting
temperance addresses ever delivered
in Grand Junction. The speaker was
Prof Charles Scanlon. field secretary
for the general assembly's perma
nent committee on temperance of the
Presbyterian church. and his lecture
was THE Battle of the Ages"
Those who heard the lecture last
night were more than delighted with
it. Prof Scanlon is a speaker of
marvellous power and of national rep
utation. He is an orator of more
than ordinary ability and his manner
of speaking is most attractive. He
does not deal in abuse but presents
an array of argument in. behalf OF
the cause of temperance, strengthen
ed with a great store of facts and
figures of startling importance. that
make his address most convincing
Sprinkled with rare humor and tell
ing wit made up in catchy and clean
anecdotes, the lecture is made en-
tertaining as well as instructive.

in earnest. He spoke simply the truth as it has
come to who has for thirty -four years studied
the problems of government and confesses that he
is still only freshman.
The Federal Government has done more than
right to throw the light of publicity upon the public
service corporations. 1t has created machinery to
supervise railroad charges. 1t has turned the light
on the Northern Securities Company and compelled
it to dissolve 1t has exposed the of the coal
combine and the beef 1t has investigated the
Standard Oil operations and apparently justified
the opposition of that great corporation to the
legislation creating the Department of Commerce
and Labor.
When that bill was under consideration four
years ago and about to come to vote, a number
of Senators received kilograms from the Standard
Oil officials, declaring that the bill must not become
law One high official of the corporation to
Washington but friendly Senator, who met him
at his hotel arrival, took him to the train and
started him back to New York before his presence
discovered by the managers of the bill. The
kilograms were kept quiet for an hour or two,
but when they were known there was checking
the bill in its passage. Congress resented the ap-
pearance of dlctaton from of these corporations
which feared investigation and publicity and the
Bureau of Corporations has been busy since

To-day there is no man in the administration who

business institution in the world and its books are

Mr.. Cannon, the Speaker says: The public work
is done in the fierce light of publicity, and the
public service is benefited by the publicity. 1t

plant thee a grove of any trees Deut. xvi. 212
The fig tree was sacred in Egypt, Japan, and
India. The Romans, too held it in high regard,
for they believed that with its overhangng
branches it had stayed the floating basket that
contained the infant twins Romulus and Remus.
Most of the sacred groves that decked the
hills of the Imperial City of oak, and in far
away Britain the same tree was worshiped by the
ancient Druids.
1t was the common belief that good or bad spirits
shut up in the giants of the forests where some
times they talked and moaned and sang, always
exertng benign or evil influence upon man. So
it became necessary to appease the wrath of the
spirits they evil and praise them if they
good. Many of the customs practlsed to-day
are merely remnants of these widespread pre-
historic rites. The superstition originated by the
hoary priests of the pagan Celts that any injury
to an oak would be severely punished by the pre-
siding deity of that lasted long in England and

A Tree of Many Powers

THE ash tree is rich with superstition. The old
charlatans of the Middle Ages used it in their
love potions, and the damsels of ancient times be-
1eved that it would enable them to make their
hearts true, and help them discover their future
husbands The inhabitants of Iceland still look
with dread upon the use of mountain ash as fuel
Their belief that it will make enemies of all who
gather round hearthstone which it burns is deep
seated, and was once almost universal in Europe.
Superstitous seekers after good luck may still
be found invoking the spirit of the even-leaved
