Not many church structures in Eng

place from the convent church.
Many are the legends and stories
that cluster around a building like Ely
cathedral, which has witnessed the ma
tons history for more than IL cen
turtles, and whose influence is seen to
this day in the speech of our country
by the word "tawdry.' Among the
legends connected with the life of st.
Ethelreda is that of Bryhstan. He in
sickness pledged himself to religious
life on recovery, but was thrown into
prison on account of his wealth. To
him, as the legend goes, after continu.
al prayers to Ethelreda, the saints APP
pear and the prison chains are broken.
Queen Matilda, wife Of Henry l.,
wished to retain the iron collar, but
this Bryhstan hangs on the shrine Of
Ethelreda when he enters her monas
try of the Benedictine order at Ely.
There the chains seem 10 have re-
NAMED cause for much reverence,
and probably of superstition; while 1t
became the custom of the monks to
give to pilgrims as a memento of their
visit miniature shackles like those of
Bryhstan. These are the st Audrey
Chains which later degenerated into
plated (tawdry-t'Awdrey) ribbons.
Hence the adjective was used for per-
sonal ornaments, SNOWY but common,
and is a corruption of the saints name

The glory of Ely cathedral is the
Gothic dome and lantern. so aptly
styled St Awdrey's crown. This is
that which makes the great minister of
the fens so utterly unlike any other
church in England, OF, indeed, in
both in the stateliness
and the variety of it's outline
The lantern was the result of a ca
tastrophe which became a blessing in
disguise through the constructive
genius of one man, that greatest of the

MANAGEMENT In recent years owners
CT fiat houses" in some cities have
rebelled against the term. A short
line ago a tenant was threatened with
suit for libel because he persisted
saying that he lived in such-and-
such Nat house. The landlord de-
clared that the structure was neither
fiat house nor tenement, but an
apartment house. The repeated use OF
fiat house as a designation tended
10 lower the reputation of the place
and drove away would-be occupants.
n some cities the word fat, however,
arries quite the opposite Significance.

given outright to any applicant, but
each of those who are found worthy
in the eyes of the government will re-
ceive a small farm, be provided with
a home or be helped to establish him
self in business. Provision has been
made to found free schools with the
fund, and a small amount will be given
to struggling churches. It is estimat-
ed that as many as 10000 persons will
be benefited by Don Pedro's gener-
osity.
To the American mind Don Pedro is
an enigma 1t is not his philanthropy
that causes the Yankee TO wonder, for
the Yankee can be one of the most
generous givers when so inclined, but
it is his indifference to the making of
money. Although his mine, it is said
could be worked by an American com
pany to produce $1.0O0,O0O a month
Don Pedro contents himself with much
less than that amount
He has been reported as only work
ing the mine now and then when he
needed the cash, but this he denies
~ operate my mining plant" he says
The same as you gentlemen from the
United States would if you had it
but with this differences don't try
to dig out all the silver in it at once
If | did ] might spend it all and be q
uoor man again. At any rate my 500
miners are working; I'll get $500, OOO
a month as long as live"
Another strange thing about Don
( Pedro is that he loves his poor rela-
/ tives He keeps his house at Parral
filed with them. Anybody who can
. trace the slightest connection with the
/ wealthy mine owner either by birth
( or marriage, is welcome within his
gates. And when he cannot spend
his income on his people fast enough
/ at home. he charters a special train
packs them all aboard and starts of
on a journey, just where he never
knows in advance. Accordingly he al
ways makes an arrangement with the
railroad company to stop his specia
train wherever he takes the notion.
Unlike the average American VIII,

care for personal attendants. He
shaves himself. cuts his own hair
blacks hiss own shoes and does
part of his own cooking. After hi.
wife died he for a long time dressed

AND GLENWOOD, TOO, is
AFTER FEDERAL BUILDING

Glenwood Post: The Glenwood
board of trade. through its president.
Maj. S. ]. DeLan, has forwarded to
Colorado's senators and congress-
men at Washington draft OF Dill
TO be presented to congress, asking
that there be constructed in THIS
town a large federal building to ac-
eommodate the various offices of un-
Gle Sam In this part of the state.
1t is likely that Senator Guggen-
helm will present this measure. Inc
sum asked for in the draft is SlOO,-
900, though it is left to the discre-
ton of the senator's and congressman
whether they should name such an
amount.
In the form of bills. the claims of
Grand Junction and Durango appear
both in the house and senate. each
providing for the erection of fed
eral structure to cost s125.0O0.
Glenwood residents argue that
this being the legitimate center of
the western slope as far as railway
facilities are concerned. there is no
reason why GleLwood should not re
ceive first consideration. 1t is well
known that former Federal Judge
Moses Hallett of Denver favored this
town as the place where a fedora
building should be built. Others
prominent in state and national poll
ucs have held the same view.
In previous years the same claims
nave beer presented; but, with hun
dreds of other similar applications

A SUPERB PRODUCTION
OF The SACRED CANTATA
"fet Company of Talented Homo
People Delighted a Big audi.
ence Last Night.-Much
Credit is Due All the
Participants.

Between four hundred and five
hundred people gathered at the Con-
sregational church last evening to
witness the production of the scored
eantata. Ruth" by Gaul, given un-
der the auspices of the University
Choral Society.
The prediction that the entertain
iheht would be one of the richest
things in the musical line ever wit
messed in Grand Junction was fully
realized. The large audience grew
very enthusiastic at times over the
renditlons and the applause was
most liberal.
1t was. indeed. a smooth, credit
able, worthy and enjoyable produc-
ton of the beautiful cantata, and all
who participated in the work are to
be congratulated.
The soloists, Mrs. Bross-PinnelI
Mrs. Myrtle Greer, Miss Fenner and
Mr. f. A. Sherman, aroused great
admiration. Their renditions were
superb. Each possesses splendid
voice, clear, well controlled and well
trained. The soloists were equally
wen selected.
Tho chorus. consisting of more
than fifty voices, worked in perfect
harmony, and evidences of the ex-
cellent manner in which 1t had been
trained were numerous.
Miss Edith l.. Fenner. the direc-
tor, deserves great credit for the
complete success of the production
Time and again it has been demon
strated that she is an instructor and
musical director of the highest tall
ent
Miss Mary Halleck Webster had
charge of the pipe organ. and her
ability and talent in handling this
great musical instrument are most
pronounced.
Few audiences have ever been as
well pleased with musical enter
tainment rendered here. 1t is to
be hoped that there may be more of
such productions.

Sanitary Conditions at state Street
Building not satisfactory-CeIlar
Full Of Water During Flood.

| According to the present standing
| OF the finances of the city schools,
i. will be necessary next year to
raise the tax levy from S IL mills
to o. In order that the school board
might determine the exact financial
condition, clerk II. e. Hill effected
a balance of the books and reported
the results at the boards regular
Injecting last night.
| The clerks report disclosed that
there is exactly $53,20S. SO in the
treasury and is distributed in the
following funds: In the tuition fund
there is $6,4S5. 81; contingent fund.
$4,999. 90; building, $26,647 so; bond
and interest, s15,O76.s4. Before the
February draw upon the treasurer
the tuition fund was overdrawn
SO, ,45S.99 and the contingent fund
loverdrawn $651 33. The new north
end school building and the pro-
posed enlargement Of the Davids
street building will practically empty
the building fund. Sizing up in
general the financial conditions pf
the past year 1t is very evident that
the board has not had the money
with which to effect many needed
improvements and without doubt the
school tax levy will be raised to nine
mills.
The board discussed somewhat at
length the condition of the cellar at
the State street building. Mr.. Frank
reported that dwring the high water
iof the past few weeks, there was
from nine to fifteen inches of water
backed up In the cellar causing the
building to be damp and unhealth-
ful. The board determined that un.
til the city put in better sewer.
the condition could not be bettered.
The cellar drainage is not defect
I've. but the sewer will not carry off
the water.
Superintendent II. L. Frank
asked the boards disposition regard

itor at the Lincoln building.

the position was left vacant. The

iy decided to put off hiring man

park itself was presented to coun-
Gil. The lobby was filed with
Boulevard residents, some in favor
of and some against the proposition.
Remarks were called for and w.
II. Bruce and John Jacoby took the
most prominent parts. Mr.. Jacoby
Is the father of the proposed alter
alton, and he spoke in favor of
making the change. He was fol-
lowed on the floor by Mr.. Bruce,
who with some others is opposed to
til idea. Mr.. Bruce spoke quite
vehemently against Mr.. Jacoby and
the idea of paving and asked the
city council to turn deaf ear to
the petitioners. The trouble was
ended for the time being, by council
referring the petition to the street
and alley committee.
Every member of the citizens
committee was present and when
called upon, Mayor Scherf in a brief
address presented the plan to low
er the tracks of the railroads run
ming east and west through the
business part Of the city. Mayor
Scherff was followed upon the floor
by John f. Lust, NJ. B. Chase, w.
e. Scofield, C.. H. Nichols, A. c.
Edmondson, and j. F. Prendergast.
For the council, Mr.. Mason, Mr..
Wilson, Mr.. Phillips. Mr.. Gorton
and President Rauhauser spoke. The
committee only asked that
council act with the citizens COM
mittee in presenting the plan to the
companies, and a motion
tAat the council as whole act with
the citizens committee, to meet at
the call of the chairman of that
prevailed.
Council then took a recess of fif-
teen minutes in order to give the
members an opportunity to look ov-
er the lease for the rooms which
are now occupied as city offices.
Unlike most of fifteen minute re-
cesses this one closed in twenty
instead of an hour. The
councilmen returned to the council
chamber and announced that they
had determined to hold II conference
with the owners of the building
before taking definite action and ad-
jcurnment was taken shortly before
ten o'clock.

Monday evening at the adjourned
meeting. That is, they were atten-

zens thrashed out their difference
before them and while the citizens
committee solicited aid and cooper
alton in presenting the proposition
to lower the tracks of the Erie and
Big Four, through the business part
|of the city.
All members were in their seats
when President Rauhauser called
council to order, but the desire to
get busy" took hold Of some Of
the members and held on with bull
dog tenacity, and while Clerk Fies
was reading the ordinance to pro-
coed with the paving of South Pros
pect street from Hill street to the
south corporation line. there was
such hubbub that a megaphone
would have been necessary had any
os the councilmen desired to hear
the reading. All of the members,
however, had made up their minds
what they were going to do, and
with the coaching which they were
given by the father OF the South
Prospect street paving project,
there was no friction whatever. The
thing went along as smoothly as
though fresh dose of grease had
just been been applied. On a mo-
ton to pass the ordinance to the
