the general impression that there could
be no other outcome than a disagree
ment. The rumors which spread SO
rapidly and frequently throughout the
night, and which were as unreliable as
such rumors always are, were gener-
ally to the effect that a majority of
the jurors had voted for conviction.
Some were even so radical as to say
that the only difference of opinion ex-
listing in the jury was as to the degRee
of guilt. The apprehension of disagree
ment spread even to members of the
defendants counsel, and when to this
feeling were added the rumors of
an adverse decision, which continually
beat about their ears during the night,
there could be found none to doubt the
genuineness Of their Joy as the verdict

THE FIRST STATE CAPITAL.
Did Timer Gives Some Early History
OF Colorado.

he following letter recently ap.
pearing in the Denver Times furnishes
rome very interesting data concerning
pioneer history of the state. The let
ter reads
Touching the question of moving the
old Chinese laundry from Colorado
City to Denver as capitol relic, allow
an old settler to give an item or two
of history, wherein he was a partici-
pant
The building that John Chinaman
has occupied for many years as a
washee-washee house is not and never
was any part Of the legislative cabins
or capitol buildings. Said cabin was
erected and occupied by DIR. James
Garvin, the first physician who To-
Gated at Colorado City, and who came
across the plains in May, 1853, in the
same wagon train and at the same
time that the undersigned crossed, in
search of gold.
When the Legislature convened at
Colorado City in 1861 it was in compli-
ance with statute passed by the frst
session of the same Legislature
which session was held in Denver, in

This second session convened at
Colorado City. the capital, and the
| lower house of representatives, assem-
| bled in frame house built by John
| NJ. Francisco of Fort Garland for a
store building, and its location was
several lots below or down street from
the said Chinese cabin, and has since
been demolished TO give place TO a
better building.
| The upper house or council, as II
was called. held its sessions In a
kitchen or wing Of Mrs, Maggard's no
tel on Center street, about three
blocks distant.
| That building was n log house, hui
has long since been used for firewood
| Mir Francisco was member Of the
council from Conejos county, and the
writer was member OF the lower

The Legislature was I'm session only
about four days at Colorado City
when II adjourned to Denver for the

that the capitol was deficient in ac

ernor Evans refused TO remove the
records of his Office or 10 come himself
to the capitol, and majority Of the
Legislature agreed with him and ad
iourncd the balance OF the session ia
Denver, having been at Colorado city
four days.
During that session the capitol was
removed TO Golden City. and at tho
following session the capitol was 10
Gated permanently at Denver.
Such is the history Of the capitol af'

four people living at Colorado Cts
who can testify to these facts a. Y
Sheldon and Anthony Bout are two OF
them.
Colorado City was at that time tho

antelope. and none OF us In our widest
hope ever dreamed Of city. or even
village being located there.

Portland. Aug. 14.-Tslegram:
Sampson Moody must cage his tame
pet rattlesnake Gyp, or take it to a
dentist and have. its fangs pulled.
This is the ultimatum that will be
given him this afternoon by Con-
stable Lou Wagner, in person, and
in case the proud owner refuses to
take either course then the consta.
BILE has instructions to seize the
snake, bring it to town and have it
asphyxiated as menace to public
safety.
For several days complaints have
been pouring in thick and fast to
the constable from neighbors of
Moody's. on Columbia Slough, con-
cernfng the doings of the playful
Gyp. Moody, it seems, caught the
young snake two years ago, near
Mt. Adams, when it was hardly
big enough to shake its rattles. He
brought it home, fed it on skinned
milk, and it grew SO tame it would
drink out of bis hand. Every night
it coiled itself about the post at the
foot of Moody's bed and went to
isleep, and on extra cold nights,
Mo ody took it right in uuder the
covers. S. the neighbors say.
| Naturally, with such treatment,
the snake grew fearfully affection
ate. Neighbors say it roams all
around. Nobody knows when it
won't drop down on the table of
one Of the rafters, grab choice
morsel of meat. and climbed back
Iagain, but, not knowing the snake
as Moody does, 1t makes them ner'
vous.
Lately, however, Gyp is said to
have become rather morose Moody
told the neighbors that the reptile
is only cutting wisdom teeth, and
will be all right in short time,
but they have become 60 wrought
up over the affair, that they went
to the constable. The neighbors
Insist that the reptiles testh must
be pulled.

taken a longer vacation than usual. four
weeks, and spent it at a crowded seashore
place principally because OF the fine bathing
there. Toquote the housekeeper:
The very first evening at the boarding
house she was introduced 10 a fine looking
young man who was her shadow until the
morning she took the train to come home.
and before he had known her two weeks he
asked her to marry him. 1t was love at
first sight. he said
Pow about your sister, l asked.
"'Oh. she is engaged to him, all right,
She said yes the night before she came
away
Il asked some more questions and found
that the ~housekeeper knew next to nothing
about the young man, but at my suggestion
she said she meant to inquire. Whether
she did or not l don't know. The pair
were married a few weeks later and the
housekeeper has ceasei to be enthusiastic
when l ask about her sisters married life.
Il am certain it has not worked well.
The courtship was too short. Goodness
knows. l am not trying to put i~mpediments
in the way Of young people becoming en-
gagged. Far from it. But to my mind the
summer engagement following a few weeks
Of love making amid scenes which pro-
mote sentimental y~earnings is a risky
thing IL il eliminates in marriage.

GRAVES MADE LEVEL NOW.
RADICAL Change in Cemetery Arrange
meuts Meets with Approval.

Modern cemetery ideas that run contrary
to deep seated sentiment usually create
dissatisfaction when they are first intro
duced. just nov says Park and Cemetery,
the lot holders in Cedar Grove Cemetery,
Brooklyn. N. Y, are agitated over the rule
providing for the dwelling Of all grave
mounds.
Many Of the lot holders who are now pay
ing for annual care Of their lots object Z a
notice recently issued by the cemetery
company to the effect that mounds On lots
for which annual care is not paid would be
levelled. Some resent it as "a mean out
rage"
Other cemeteries have had similar ex-
periences. In Lakewood Cemetery. Minne-
apolis, when a new law went into effect re-
garding the lowering Of grave mounds
there were many protests. but in less thar
a year when the changed appearance Of the
sections made apparent the marked i'm
provement in the landscape by lowering
tho mounds to an almost imperceptible
rise over the graves lot holders began re-
questing this treatment Of their lots, and
within a short period OF time several
thousand grave mounds had been lowered,
the cost OF annual care materially reduced
and the general appearance Of the grounds
greatly imp roved.

CLEARING THE MESS ROOM.
Some OF the Unwritten Laws OF British
NAVY.

In the gunroom meas itself the midshipmen
are ruled with an iron hand. as probably they
need to be. says a writer in the Grand Mdgo-

by the junior officers on those who have the
misfortune to be junior to them in point Of
standing in the British Navy.
Those over eighteen-the senior how
ever. are allowed more privileges than
the juniors. among them being. strange
to say. the right to smoke. The juniors
do as they are told without question or
remonstrance
An instance Of this is afforded in one Of
the most curious OF all the old customs.
At any time that pleases his fancy II is the
cherished ~prerogative of the president Of
the mess to jab an ordinary tablefork into
one Of the beams above his head. Instantly
every junior m%idshipman or cadet in the
can carry him. while the progress Of the

sid of the table climb over il in their haste
to take their obnoxious presence elsewhere.
e the wardroom has it's peculiar
ways. Refreshments all around are exacted
from a man who Is indiscreet enough to
mention a lady's name at dinner OF to make
a bet before the Kings health has been
drunk. .Curiously enough the unwritten
law prohibits an officer from drawing his
sword in the meqeroom. This must be q
relic Of the days Of sudden and violent
brawls. but to-day the only purpose served
by the regulation is to enable the alert to
trap the less wary into momentary forget
fulness and the consequent penalty.
