DATES CONFLICT.

A meeting OF the fair directory is
called for Tuesday evening, August /,
and every member should arrange to
be present as important matters come
up for consideration, the principal one
being dates for the fair. Pennington
has arranged for the same dates as set
for Durango and phones that printing
has already been ordered, hence must
go ahead with the schedule arranged
Durango will have to arrange for a
week earlier or week later, and this
Is important as many things must be
considered in fixing dates. The mat.
ter of entertaining the San Juan pio-
neers will also be presented for con-
sideration.

AMERICAN OFFICERS
SECURE AUDIENCE
Pay Respects to Emperor and
Empress of japan
Today.
ROYALTY ENTERTAINED.
ADMIRAL. SPERRY AND HIS AMER
ICAN JACkIES GIVEN BEST
THAT JAPANESE CAN OFFER
BANQUET HELD LAST NIGHT.

Toxic, Oct. 2O.-The American Off
GERS say that their reception in Japan
exceeds anything that they have exper-
fenced on their long cruise, but the
Japanese say that the reception has
hardly commenced.
In proposing the health of Admiral
Sperry and his officers at the Imperial
hotel last evening, Ambassador O'Brien
said he desired to extend his welcome
and greeting to everybody present, and
especially to the brave and tried Off
GERS of the Japanese navy sitting this
evening side by side in fraternal COM
radeship with the Americans. The COM
mingly Of such men, he said, was an in
spiration. He then referred briefly to
the beginning of relations between the
two countries, f1Xty-Six years ago, and
traced the progress of young Japan. In
conclusion the ambassador said Many
| ask you to agree with me in the be-
lief that this memorable visit always
will stand as an exalted lesson in the
brotherhood of man and as an evil
dence that we are free from that pride,
arrogance, suspicion and greed to
which most wars in the past may be
traced
Admiral Sperry responded and ex-
pressed the appreciation of himself and
his officers of the reception extended
to them in Japan.
The audience with the Emperor and
Empires of Japan win take place this
morning at II 80.

ALPINE GUIDES.

Some Are Experts In "Snow and Ice
Work." Some In "Rock Work"
Some of the Alpine guides are ex'
perts in climbing. There are a mum
Der who are noted for their skill in
what the Alpinist calls SNOW and ice
work" That means going up a peak
which has so many snow fields and
glaciers that it's sides and submits
may be nearly covered with them
The glacier guide can tell you all
about "cornices"-snow masses which
project from the edge of precipices
and overhang the valley beneath like
the roof of a house. Experience has
told him whether a cornice can be
crossed safely or whether it may
break off if one ventures upon it. He
is also an expert with the ice ak car
ried in his belt, cutting footholds In
the glittering walls that may rise fif-
ty or hundred feet above your head.
These ice precipices are frequently
found at the heads of glaciers, which,
as the schoolboy knows, are merely
rivers of frozen water slowly moving
down the face of a mountain on ac-
count of the force OF gravity and the
great pressure Of the ice masses
which form their source on the upper
part of the slope. Other guides make
q speciality of rock work." conduct
ing persons up peaks which may be
only partly covered with snow and ice,
but having sides of bare rock so steep
that in places the cliffs may be almost
straight up and down. Here 1t would
seem that one must be as spry and as
sure footed as the chamois-the rare
goat that lives up amid the Alps.
While the crevasse and other dangers
Of the snow and ice fields may be abb
sent, the mountain may be so abrupt
that the climber must ascend hun
dreds of feet pulling himself up with
arms aiding his legs, while often the
guide hauls him to the top of the
most difficult slopes by main strength.

CANNOT COMPEL
COMPANY TO ACT
No City Ordinance Forcing
Traction Company to
Remove Feed Wires.
STUDY SOUNDS A WARNING.
CITY COUNCIL MEASURE WILL
BE PASSED COMPANY NOW
PLACING FUSES.

City Attorney T. J. Study last even
ing called the city councils attention
to the fact that there was no provi-
sion in the Main street pole ordinance
which could be employed in compelling
the traction company to remove it's
feed wires off it's trolley poles. He
stated that the ordinance provided a
penalty of $50 for each day any COM
pany allowed any or all it's wood poles
to remain standing on Main street
after the ordinance became effective
but not a penalty was provided for any
company which permitted it's wires to
remain overhead. The matter was re-
ferred to the committee on franchises
and ordinances and at the next council
meeting it is probable this committee
will report favoring an amendment to
the ordinance to cover the case in
question.
Mr.. Study stated several weeks ago
the traction company one night strung
its feed wires on the new iron trolley
poles. The next day at his instigation
the board of public works warned the
company that these wires would have
to be removed. The company replied
that the wires had only been placed
temporarily and that they would be
placed permanently on North A street.
The city attorney stated that yes
terday he noticed the company was
placing fuses to protect the feed wires,
and it looked to him as though the
company had no intention to remove
them. Mr.. Study stated that he be-
lieved the company had lied when it
stated its feed wires on Main street
were only temporary.
Mayor Schillinger confirmed this
theory when he stated that the day
after the wires had been placed Super
intendent Gordon told him that they
would be placed on Main street only
for the time being, but that a few days
ago when the mayor asked him if the
company did not intend to keep its
feed wires on Main street permanently.
| Mr.. Gordon replied, most assuredly."
Council will insist on the removal of
these wires as one of it's principal rea-
sons for passing the Main street pole
ordinance was to lessen the fire risk on
Main street.

A MANSFIELD FAILURE.
When the Famous Actor Tainted OF
Hunger In London.

When the Famous Actor Fainteo OF
Hunger In London.
Mansfield was taken to the Savage
club, where his cleverness was attest
ed by the leading entertainers of Lon
don. When Corney Grain was taken
sick In the spring of 1877. Mansfield
was at once recommended as his sub
stitute in the German Reed entertain
ments. He was to receive fS a week.
This was a splendid salary for any
young man as salaries went then or
as they stand now on the London
stage. To Mansfield 1t was a positive
windfall
As a member of this distinguished
little coterie of entertainers Mansfield
felt that his fortune was made. His
whole interest, attention and hope now
centered on April 20, the night of his
debut. He was assigned the small role
Of the beadle in the comedietta Char
ity Begins at Home" which opened
the evening. After that he was to
change to evening dress and hold the
stage alone for half an hour after the
manner established by Corney Grain.
Every shilling he could scrape together
went LOT d WARDROBE, ilueu, DOOtS, Cfd-
vat, a boutonniere and other IRE
proachable appurtenances.
His friends crowded st. Georges
hall for his first appearance. 1t was
observed as he uttered the few lines
of the beadle that he was excessively
nervous. When later in the evening
he sat down at the piano and struck a
preliminary chord he tainted dead
away.
Mr. Reed relieved him of his position
at once. In discharging him he said,
You are the most nervous man / have
ever seen" 1t was not all nervous
ness, however. Mansfield had not eat
en- for three days. He had tainted
from hunger.
1t was many a year before he again
worked up to the munificence of fS a
week, but this pathetic incident was
later made an asset as employed by
him in an attractive little comedy of
his own writing.-Paul Wilstach in
Scrihner'S
