\ Fish Story.

Yet another fish story. This one is supposed to be true, for it is verified by the editor of a staid and ancient New York paper. Condensed, the tale is as follows: Miss Van Glider, while fishing at Mink Pond, Pike county, had very good luck until about noon. Warm weather had melted the ice near the center of the pond where Miss Glider was fishing, and before she realized her position she was standing on a sheet of ice entirely sep- arate from the rest. Just then she got bite, and holding on to the line was lowed by the fish a distance of half a mile to the bank, where she waded ashore only ankle deep in wa ter. The story, however, has a sad winding, for it states that Miss Glider was safely landed and so was the fish

The Brooklyn Bridge,

Again the question of the stability of the Brooklyn bridge is being dis cussed. I would be we'll to mention that MT. Roosevelt, uncle of Presi- dent Roosevelt, more than twenty years ago resigned from the director ate of the Brooklyn bridge, owing to the board of directors voting to add 10000 tons extra weight to the sup perstructure to increase it's carrying capacity. Mr. Roosevelt, in resigning, said he would not be responsible for a great disaster if the bridge fell, as MT. Riebling, the 1esis der, had said the bridge was then carrying all the weight it could safely support. The 10000 are added, with 10000 more, to the superstructure, and goodness on- ly knows how many additional thous- and tons weight, in loaded trolley and bridge cars, and the traffic the bridge is now supporting. Looking at the bridge towers they appear much too slender, and no doubt Roeblng would have made them twice the dimensions if he had supposed the bridge had to support so great weight as is placed on them now. Probably in six of every twenty-four hours daily if the bridge fell not les than thousand people would perish. The weight has now been increased "The last straw breaks the camel's back"

Fooled Again.

A prominent lawyer Of Bradford, N. H., suspected his colored sery ant of tampering with certain brand of fine whisky in his wine cellar. The employed decided to adopt measures to verify his sus plcions. He allowed the demijonn holding his private stock to become empty, and then, instead os ref!l'as it, placed the remainder in bottles and labeled each one ''poiscn.'
 One evening, on returning homo unexpectedly, he found his servant with one of his bottles. Seizing the bottle from the arkdy's hand, he ex claimed, nj tone of terror:
 Great heaven! Sam. Do you know what you have been doing? This bottle is marked poison , The negro took the bottle and sur veyed it closely. Then he sniffed at it. A melancholy smile passed over

 "lse been fooled again" Pooled again?" repeated his master. What do you mean?"

New York, Jan 26.-The general impression prevails that moonshine' liquor distilling is confined largely to the mountain districts of Tennessee and Kentucky. but the officials of the United States internal revenue in New York has proved this to be a fallacy, for right in our midst Illicit stills are and have been working in full swing. Several stills have been seized and now the revenue officers are looking for the distillers of sugar mash whis- ky, the 4yoda'' of the Russian and Austrian Hebrews, a most popular drink on the east side. \ recent seiz- ure of q still in Brooklyn disclosed a remarkable state of affairs. 4 fifty gallon still was found in full working order, with it's full equipment, includ-
 ing authorities army worms, and
 large supply of spirit. The authori-
 ties are we'll aware that there are hun-
 dreds of stills working in the city and
 suburbs put though they are using every endeaVor possible to locate them their efforts appear to be unsuccess- ful. The recent raids were the result Of information given by a man who | had a grudge against the 'moonshin-
 CTS" and so well prepared for attack l were they that two revolyers and belts l of carffidoes are amongst the tf0- f phies of the raid. The spirit is col ! ored with burnt sugar and sold to sa- loon keepers on the Bowery, who re- tail it as Kentucky rye.

RAILROAD RATES.

The decision Of the supreme
court of the United States that a
railroad may be lawfully required
by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to make adequate connec-
tions with other railroads for the
convenience of the public is most
important. This is especially so
because the court decided that it is
The primal duty of a carrier to
furnish adequate facilities to the
public though, -'somc pecunia.y
loss from rendering such service
may result - SO long as the gem
eral earnings of the carrier are not
SO impaired as to deprive it of e
reasonable profit on account of this
particular requirement.
The log ical result of this decision
will be far reaching, for it would
seem to entirely cut the ground
from under the contention of the
railroads that where a two-ccn-
passenger rate has been made the
maximum rate and such would bs
Improbable, therefore it is UNI
reasonable. 1t is the earnings o
the railroad in its entirety over tn,
whole system, both passenger ans
freight, that must be considered il
deciding whether the company il
deprived of property without du,
process of law.

The PASSING OF JULIUS
WILLIAM FIELDS.

The entire community of Denver
was shocked Tuesday morning by
the report of the sudden death of
this popular young man. At first
every one was skeptical of the ru-
NOR and thought it a canard, as
Mr.. Fields had been seen on the
street only few days before and
no one even suspected his illness
but as time wore on the report be-
came more sad and apparent when
it was learned that it was only too
true. Young Fields was gone.

young men. Talented above many,
active in Educational and social
affairs, musician, student, he
was both enterprising and pro-
gressive. He had excellent bust
ness talent for one of his age. He
was property holder and held a
responsible position in the post
Office since 1897, being rapidly ad-
vanced because of his merit and
excellent marks in examination
and tests.
Julius, the son of the late Rev.
j. B. Fields formerly pastor of
Zion church, was born in Macomb
ILL.,, July 1878, came to Denver in
1881 at the age of 3 years. Grad
uated from East Denver High
School at the age of II years. For
time served as as collector for
the COLORADO STATESMAN and then
took the Civil Service examination
passing the highest of 120 that
competed with him, was soon after
appointed to clerkship and has
made an enviable record in the
mail service. making it possible
for other colored employees to be
appointed by his efficiency.
Mr.. Fields was a member of the
Centennial Mandolin club, Inter
Graduate association and recently

for he is in pain upon all occasions
that ought to give him pleasure.
the relish of his life is favor, and
the objects which administer the
highest satisfaction to those who
are exempt from this passion give
the quickest pangs to persons who
are subject to it. The envious
man occupies wretched apostate
state, and that condition is most
emphatlcally miserable. He is
pot only incapable of rejoicing in
another mans merit or success,
but he lives in a world wherein all
mankind leaves him to his quiet,
by attending to their own happi-
ness and advantage rather than
his.-Clarion.
