EZRA prAvoLor WE'LL sryG

Pacini manifested the possession of a
falsetto voice last night in Fra
Diavolo" and. as he was coupled ip
with Lambardi in the comic duet in the
last act, the two won the favor of the
house more than at any other time
during the performance. Pacini scared
comically, while Lambardi sang in
subterranean tones, and the contrast
made the chorus laugh, which is all
that can be said in their honor as fun
makers.
The Fra Diavolov night was we'll
balanced. which means that the COM
edy was carried as uniformly as might
be in opera. Salvaneschi. Bergami and
Campofiore put zest into their work.
Campofore surprising the audience
with her clever comedy stunt. Tromben
did all with the part of Zerlia that the
limited quantity and quality of her
voice permitted. The orchestra sus-
tanned the singers fairly well. and had
their chance in court, which has not al
ways been the case when braying horns
and a thunderous drummer have as
sailed the ears of auditors and made
chaos of what was otherwise clearly
conceived and well proportioned mu-

IS HANGING LAKE
TO Be DESTROYED?
Rumors Are Afloat to the
Effect That This Natural
Wonder May Lose It's
Original Beauty
WILL MAKE Investigations

For many years one of Glenwood L
chief assets along the line of natural
attractions has been Hanging lake, 10,
Gated up the mountain side few miles
above Glenwood. No journey of the
tDuIst to Glenwood was considerel
complete without a side trip to Hanging
lake which by reason of its high loca
tion and picturesque setting has been
the delight of sightseers and camera
enthusiasts.
Rtcently there have been rumors to
lie effect that this beauty spot is de.
.erIorating in attractiveness and that
uuless steps are taken to prevent it
the entire destruction of this charming
resort might result.
MAJOR DeLan called the Post man Is
attention to the matter yesterday and
stated that efforts would be made to
restore the lake to its former beauty.

much water as formerly.
lie says the Bridal falls at the upper
end of the lake, sometimes called
Meteor falls have practically been de-
stroyed and the water which formerly
dropped from these falls into the lake
has in some way been diverted and now
flows around the lake, the beauty OF
the spot being thereby destroyed.
When asked il something could not
be done to preserve the lake in the
natural beauty which has made it fam.
Gus Mr.. Deacon said he thought that
would be an easy matter and, realizing
the Importance of having the lake up
to its former atractiveness he placed a
man at work to restore the upper wa
ters to their natural channel hoping
hat this may remedy the trouble.
Mr.. Deacon says he took this au-
thority upon himself believing that the
citizens of Glenwood who realize that
this is one of our chief attractions will
approve of the work. Major DeLan

The humidity was unusually high.
Every hospital in the city was brought
into service, and those nearest the line
of the parade were crowded to the
limit. No fatalities were reported up
to four clock.
The physicians were so busy that no
names were taken. DR.. Patterson,
chief of police surgeons, estimated that
more than 1900 extra persons were
'reated along the line of the parade.
The parade was finally broken up bi
hard storm which came up suddenly.
Tens of thousands of people were
drenched by the rain. and lightning
struck in many places, bat no cerioul

morse thief, l.. ID. Young arrived in
Glenwood last night and placed his
man behind the bars but the horse AMI

the rightful owner.
On June 10, Mexican named John

ty and owner, heard of his man but
learned that he had traded horses a,
the time he passed through that city,
being mounted on different horse from
he one on which he commenced his
wild ride. Young next heard of the
Mexican at Rangey, in Routt county
of this state, then on to White Rivel

, irving little too late.

CATHOLIC CIRCLES

Denver, July 1s.-Sister F-licitas,
Sister Superior of st. Joseph's hospital
has been removed from her position be.
cause of charges of cruelty and neglect
in the treatment of Miss Mary Hickey,
formerly patient of the institution.
Miss Hickey is now at the Glockner
sanitarium in Colorado Springs.
The charges are said by outside
friends of the sister, to have been
merely an excuse used by enemies in
side and close to the institution to Sc
cure her removal because she persis-
tently refused to give W. P. Horan an
advantage over f. P. McGovern in Sc
curing the burial of those who died AZ
the hospital.
Bishop Matz is said to have request,
ed the recall of Sister Felicitas, but
this assertion is denied.
Whatever the real reason is, the af-
fair is shrouded in much mystery and
it is fight in which the sisterhocd,

Boise, July 1s.-Orchard said Hay

things, and the state has attempted to
connect him by chain of circum-
stances. In contradiction of this Hay
wood comes in and says, 81 will show
a set Of stronger circumstances against
some one else. / plead and urge it
upon your horor that all of this evil
denee should go to the jury or none of
it. You cannot convict these men of
the killing of Gov. steunenberg by
what happened in Colorado
Leaving Orchard s uncorroborated
testimony out of the proposition, tn.
set of circumstances indicate far
stronger motive on the part of the
Mine Owners association than the
Western Federation of Miners
Senator Borah said the state did mol
wish to strike out any of the evidence
introduced by the defense as to the
Bradley or Vindicator incidents, if he
believed it legal. But he said there
was nothing in support of the con,en
tion that the Mine Owners Association
was responsible for any of the crimes
alleged to have been committed.
Orchard was not member of the
conspiracy set up by the state, but all
he claimed was that he was the instru
.msnt selected from time to time to
carry out individually given instruc
tions
