Grand Duke Alexis Dies.

Paris.-Grand Duke Alexis Of Rus
sia, an uncle of Emperor Nicholas,
died in this city Saturday of pneu-
monia. The grand duke has lived in
Paris almost continuously since his
retirement from the position of SUI
preme direction of the navy which he
had held for twenty-four years.
Grand Duke Alexis was born In 1880
He resigned the supreme control Of
the marine in October, 1908. following
savage criticism on his administration
of the navy, especially in the construc-
tion of ships. Charges of mismanage-
ment and inefficiency against the ma
rine department had been current for
years and after the war with Japan
they increased ten fold. Grand Duke
Alexis himself did not escape.
The grand duke visited the United
States In 1872 and went to the plains
on a buffalo hunt. stopping for time
in Denver.

Girl Who chews Tobacco.

Denver.-Donning overalls to work
in the fields. chewing tobacco like her
brothers and being virtually the main
stay of a family of four, fourteen-year-
old Mary Andrews of the San Luis val
ley, says the Denver Republican, has
proved an enigma to the State Humane
Society. State Officer Mcconnell being
at a total loss how to act when he WIS.,
tied the Andrews home last Tuesday.
He did order the girls father to pro
hibit her using tobacco and a promise
was obtained that the girl would be
denied the weed in the future.
1T is one of the most peculiar cases
ever saw said Officer Mcconnell
yesterday. "The little girl is bright
and attractive and does not miss a day
at school. But she only wears girls
clothes when attending school and on
her return home always puts on trous-
ers and mans hat before she gets
busy doing the chores. She has been
taking her place alongside the men.
Her mother died few years ago and
an older sister has been unable to con-
troll the child. She has been using to-
bacco for almost year. having learned
the habit from her brother while her
father was away from home"

higher than river quotations. Bulk of
the hogs sold Saturday at $3.50

turns of the election show that the

Contract for the building of the Henry
lyn irrigation system, consisting of 90
miles of ditch and various reservoirs,

The proposition will be handled by
the Henrylyn irrigation district, land
owners in which will pay tax of $3.50
an acre for ten years. after which the
principal. s25 an acre, will be gradually
paid. This district is about twenty
miles east OF Greeley adjoining Hudson

MATTER DISCUSSED IN DENVER
CONVENTION or AMERICAN
FEDERATION OF LABOR.
CONFERENCE IS URGED
PRESIDENT coMPERs SAYS NOW
is TIME TO DECIDE ON Fu-
TURE ACTION.

Denver.-H the views of the dele
gates assembled to attend the twenty
eighth annual convention OF the Amer
,ican Federation Of Labor may be taken
as indicating the policies that will be
outlined by the convention. 1t is likely
that a great political party, styled the
Labor party, will be born OF this meet
ing in Denver. Monday afternoon the
political question had the center OF the
stage, as on nearly every day since
President Gompers called the gather
ing to order.
President Gompers and half score
Of other influential men of the labor
movement declared that the time for
the men OF labor to decide upon the
weapons to be used in the fight of the
future was now, not next year nor two
years nor four years hence.
John ii. Walker, delegate of the
United Mine Workers of America, who
has been Socialist for years, but who
iii the last campaign supported the
policies of President Gompers. in a
stirring speech urged the convention
to call conference of the leaders of
the labor movement, the Socialist par
ty, the farmers unions, and every or
ganized body working toward a better
ment of the conditions of the men and
women who toll. This conference or
convention will determine upon the or
ganization of new political party un-
der the name Labor party, and make
plans for prosecuting campaign of
organization all over the country.
The party, he declared, should not
seek alliance with either of the old
parties. but should labor to SO
strengthen itself that it would, through
its moral force, force the old parties
TO grant the conditions labor was en-
titled to or sweep them out of control
Walkers appeal was made after j.
Herbert Skinner, fraternal delegate
from the British Trades Union Con
gress. had been called upon to detail
the history of the English trades un-
ions in the political field and had ex-
planned the developments that led to
the formation OF the Labor party OF the
British Isles.
The discussion arose on a recon-
mendation of the committee on Tredaz
urer Lemons report that the execu-
tive council take up and consider some
plan by which the unions of the coun-
try could protect their funds against
attachment to satisfy judgments rem
dered against them as result Of liti-
CATION forced by employers.
The suggestion was made by Andrew
]. Gallagher of San Francisco, dele-
gate of the Photo Engravers' union,
who stated that he had consulted an
attorney and had been told that the
only way this could be accomplished
was through the unions turning their
funds over to some member who had
courage enough to go to Jail before he
would tell what had become Of the
money.
Delegate T. W. Mccullough of the
Typographical union, took issues with
the recommendation on the ground
that it placed the unions in position
of resorting to subterfuge.

THE COUNTRY.

Peking.-The Emperor died shortly
after o'clock Saturday afternoon.
The Emperor had been Ill for long
time and during recent audiences with
foreign representatives he was unable
either to sit up on the throne or even
in an erect position. 1t was evident
for a long time that he would be unable
to Withstand crisis which sooner or
later must develop in the disease from
which he was suffering. Recent eli
matte extremes caused fatal complica-
tions.
The report of Friday that the Dow
aged Empress of China was mortally Ill
was confirmed by the foreign board
CT the government.
At the moment of the death OF the
Emperor the Dowager Empress own
death chamber chair was waiting in
the court yard.
Tsze Hsi An, the Dowager Empress
OF China, autocratic head of the govern
ment, which she directed without sue
cessful interference since 1861, and
without protest since 1881, died at
o'clock Sunday afternoon.
The announcement of the Dowager
Empress death was official and fol-
lowed closely upon the announcement
that Kuang Hsu, the Emperor, had died
Saturday at o'clock in the afternoon.
but it is believed the deaths occurred
considerable time before that set down
In the official statement.
| An edict issued at o'clock Sunday
morning placed upon the throne Prince
Pu VI, the three-year-old son of Prince
Chun, the regent of the empire, in ac-
cordance with promise given by the
Dowager Empress soon after the mar
riage of Prince Chun in 1908. An edict
issued on Friday made Pu vi heir pre-
sumptive.
The foreign legations were notified
Sunday morning by the foreign board
of the death of the Emperor and the
succession of Prince Pu vi. Troops
have been in readiness for several days
to quell any disorders that might arise
on the death of Kuang Hsu, and the
possibility of uprisings was made
greater because of the fact that the

pie learned this evening Of the death
of the Dowager Empress and although
the Chinese are in no wise emotional
they showed that they were profoundly
impressed by the passing of their pow
erful ruler. The foreigners in the city
are watching the strange ceremonies
with great interest. At the palace
elaborate rites are being observed, and
a flood of edicts has been sent forth.
Deathbed observances of 5000 years

CONTESTS oF sLEEP-FASTING. Peculiar Entertainment That Was
 Popular In the eos.

"Sleep-fasting matches, before the law put stop to them, took place ire Quently in this country" said a. spe- cialist in insomnia. Yes, back in the sos and eos sleep-fasting was as popu- lar form of sport as football. Cham pion sIeep-fasters were idolized by the girls in hoopskirts and waterfalls. The ordinary youth who had to sleep once In 24 hours wasn't one, two three in those days. W. c. woodford of San Francisco was the champion of all the sleep-fasters. In the famous contest of 1860 this man kept awake for 168 hours, 48 minutes-over a week. He was a little, thin man of a nervous temperament Henry E. Jackson of Detroit held the next best record IA hours r minutes. Third came Adolph Mueller of Milwaukee, whose record was 142 hours 57 minutes. These men are all dead now. Why were sleep lasts so popular with our fathers? Besides theE unhealthful- ness, they were tame beyond belief. What, when you come to think of it, could be tanner than merely watching a lot of men keep awake?"
