At the Postal offices in the e. & G.

room on the second floor has been
locked and an armed guard placed at
the door to see that no one tries to
enter. Superintendent Blacks offce
was also closed to the public. When
asked who was inside the operating
room, the guard said: "Oh, just a
couple of young girls"
At strike headquarters a message
was received from Chicago announc-
ing that Bartlett, Frazier G Company

cities, had voluntarily signed up a new

There were thirty Postal telegraph
operators in Denver earning salaries
approximating $3.50 a month and
working six days week at nine hours,
with pro rata pay for all overtime.
The Western Union men to the num-
Der of seventy-five are already out, but
Superintendent S. E. Leonard says he
has about half the regular number of
men at work and that he has nego-
tiated with a number of operators
from out of town who will arrive dur
ing the day. Mr.. Leonard denies that
messages are being mailed or ex-
pressed, but says that dispatches are
being accepted subject to delay.

SAFETY BOARD MET
Aby Sasloif Was Chosen as a
 Supernumerary Officer.

At meeting of the board of safety yesterday afternoon Mayor Thoms presiding, an application from Fred erick Pelletier for an appointment to the supernumerary police force was filed.
 William Daly was elected a call man. At the adjourned meeting to- day he will be assigned to duty.
 A ballot was taken for supernu- merary policeman and Aby Sasloff was chosen. He will undergo the customary educational examination this afternoon and in all probability will be appointed.
 The change in the rules of the po- lice department recommended at the last meeting by Superintendent Beach was endorsed. This means that hereafter. supernumerary police men cannot do special duty unless as signed by the superintendent. It al- so means that in future parties hay ing need for special policeman. as for instance at weddings and such func- tions, must make application at the police station.
 Plans for the Baldwin street engine house were presented by Architect Freney. They showed that the house will be substantially on the lines of the Burton street engine house and the Washington avenue house, and about the same dimensions. Tho board selected lnottled hydrastic pres sed brick with granite trimmings fol the external walls. Work on the building will begin soon.

CUTTING TREES.
A. E. Blewitt Thinks Shade Trees
 Might be Spared.

A. E. Blewitt talked to the com- missioners of the department of pub lie works Tuesday night regarding the care of trees. He didn't like the way the pruning has been done on the elms in the green and he was not pleased, either, to see so many of the shade trees along the different streets being hewn down. He thought some of them could be spared for years by the exercise of ordinary attention. He paid high compliment to the man who laid the sidewalk on the north side of the green, for instead of tamping the concrete up close to the trunk of trees he left few inches bare so that water may have an op- portunity to get into the soil and down to the roots of the trees. The other walks laid about town he said showed an utter disregard for the health of the trees. The walk on the green was laid by William Mccarthy, foreman of the city's sidewalks re- pairing gang. It would be hard to locate the others.

Judge KiIIan's Ruling on Granting
Dramshop Licenses.

The question as to whether the
County Court may legally grant a
dramshop license at an adjourned or
special term came up in the Circuit
Court Tuesday. week or so ago
one Smith applied to the County Clerk
for blanks to get up petition for a
dramshop to be conducted in Elvins.
He secured the requisite number of
signers and requested the County Clerk
TO call special term of the County
Court, at his expense, to pass upon
his application. The Clerk did so, as
has been the custom for twenty. five
years. At the special term so called,
the Court granted the drnmshop H.
cense to Smith. Messrs. Pipkin and
Nations applied TO Judge Killian, In
open court by petition, for IA writ Of
certiorari, TO cause the County Court
to certify up TO the Circuit Court its
records concerning the issuance Of this
dramshop license. The Circuit Court
granted the writ and the records of the
County Court were certified up to the
Circuit Court.
In passing upon the case Judge Xii.
Ian held that the County Court was
warranted in calling special term at
the expense of the applicant for a
dramshcp license; that the County
Court may grant dramshop licenses at
a regular, adjourned or special term;
that had the Legislature intended that
such business could only be transacted
at a regular term, the statute would
say ''at regular term, )" and not sat
the next term" OF said Court; that the
Supreme Court and Court OF Aappeals,
in constituting the meaning of the
phrase, Sat the next term, ~ In election
contest cases, held that ii meant at any
regular, adjourned or special term
The Circuit Court, therefore, held tina
Smiths dramshop license was legal
though granted At special term and
at his cost.

The following story is being told of
a certain celebrated Partisan doctor,
whose domestic relations a.e said to
be not altogether satisfactory. He was
called in one day to prescribe for q
lady who thought she had influenza.
But the doctor, after observing her
symptoms. looked about the room in
order TO discover the cause. Sudden.
ly he perceived the stove, a very beau.

dear madam, that stove is the cause
OF your trouble II IL filling your room
with poisonous gas, and II you con.
tinuo to use it, II will end by killing
you But doctor, II cost me S24."
NO matter; better lose your money
than your health" But as the lady
seemed unconvinced, the doctor add.
ed. Il will give you one-quarter the
price, and see IL cannot get rid OF
the thing" So the stove departed.
Later on the patient was changing
her apartments and went TO look at
some others that were being vacated.
In one of the rooms she inspected she
recognized her former stove. WHO
Is living here?" she inquired. mime.
G., the mother.inlaw OF the famous

smile OF understanding the lady left.

Il am talking about eggs. That Is

hens only want to set at certain times
after they've laid a couple of dozen
eggs running? Well, on this New
Jersey hen farm | speak OF they feed
the hens alcohollzed grain, and while
the poor, unprotected creatures are
under the influence they place them
on top Of nests OF eggs, and when
they come 10 themselves the past is

beneath them, and for many days
squat there dutifully until the chicks
are Matched. It's money-maklng
