CAB OF DENVER & RIO GRANDE
LOCOMOTIVE NO. 5s7 BURNED

The fire department was called upon
about p. m. Monday night to extin-
guish the blazing woodwork of Den
yer & Rio Grande locomotive No. 537
which took fire in some mysterious
way while standing on the sidetrack
near. the coal chutes.
While the origin of the fire is un-
known the railroad people scout the
idea that it was the work of anybody
having a grievance against the COM
pany, indeed, there is nothing to in
dicate that it was caused by ex-em-
ployes of the company who were dis
charged in consequence of the dull
times brought on by the financial
troubles in the east. Practically all
of the woodwork of the cab was
burned away, but the locomotive itself
was not materially damaged. Engine
No. 5S7 brought in passenger train
Nos from Pueblo at 7:30 last night
and was in good condition when taken
down into the lower yards half an
hour later.
The damaged locomotive, having a
wrecked and dilapidated appearance.
was attached to engine No. SIS and
taken to Pueblo as a part of train No.
TO- at noon today, where it will be put
into the shops for repairs. 1t can be
put into better condition than before

itor in Old Mexico and California, re-
turned here day or two ago. accom-
panied by his wife, who has been with
him on the trip. They spent some time
in Cananea, Mexico, going later to
San Diego, Los Angeles. San Jose. San
Francisco, Sacramento and other
places. Mr.. Hesford says business Of
all kinds is extremely dull on the Pa

many men out OF work before. In San
Francisco, he asserts. there are sew
en- or eight thousand idle men and that
conditions are but little better In Los

NEW Law WILL GIVE ALL
WIDOWS OF SOLDIERS PENSIONS

AS result of the recent passage by
the house of representatives of the
new widows pension bill. which is
intended to open the way for the Sc
curing of pensions to some who have
not been remembered in this way by
the government. and the Increasing oi
the amounts now allowed to other
classes, many inquiries have been
made at the local pension OFFICES by
persons who expected to benefit un-
der the new act.
when the new act, which already
has gone through the house, is put
through the senate and is signed by
the president, it will bring numerous
applications from those who will
come in for share of the pension
money! said Pension Agent J. Jewell
yesterday. 1--WE expect the measure to
go through and receive the presidents 8
signature, but, of course, no one
knows just when this will happen.
have received visits, telephone calls,
and letters on the subject, but. Of
course, we cannot take definite steps
until the act becomes a law"
The general law which was in eff
feet prior to the passage of the act of
1890, provides that the Widows OF
men who died OF disability, caused
through. wounds or disease. received
or brought on while in service, were
entitled to $12 month. the amount
being larger in the case of officers.
Under the act OF 1890, all widows Of
soldiers of the war are to receive a
pension of IS, unless they have a net
income of $3.50 or more a year. 1t is
said that the new act, IL passed, will
have the effect of wiping out the act
of 1890. That act provided that the
pension should begin with the date OF
the application, while the general law,
which was in effect prior to its pas
sage. provided that the pension should
begin with the death OF the soldier.
in the case where there had been dis
ability. whether the application was
made then or later. Under the new
act the pension is to begin with the
date Of application as soon as the
measure becomes law, in order that
they may benefit at as early a date
as possible.
Upon the passage Of the act. the sec
retary of the interior will prepare
blank for the application and 1t prob
ably will take week or more to send
these through the country. 50 that the
applications hardly can go In for a

It is the case that the diamond is mere

which is identical When charcoal is
dissolved in molten iron. graphite is
formed. All the diamonds found in
Borneo, Brazil, India and South Africa
are made in much the same manner
that is, by the action of great heat and
enormous pressure. Charcoal formed
from wood has been baked into dia-

Although artificial distinct from imi-

Fastidious Smokers

Indian is much more fastidious than a
white man in the matter of smoking?
saw when / was In Montana several
of their war dances and the councils
afterward. You know, they sit in a
circle on the ground and pass the pipe
of good fellowship around in silence.
Each man takes two or three puffs
and then hands the pipe to his next
neighbor. But II you notice you will
see that In the whole circuit which it
makes the mouthpiece IS never wet.
The red man merely lays the end Of
the stem against his lower lip and,
keeping his mouth partly open, draws
q deep breath. Removing the pipe, be
exhales the smoke and then perhaps
repeats the process, but he never puts
the mouthpiece into his mouth In the
common 'paleface' fashion. IF he is
asked to smoke peace pipe after a
white man, he first wipes on the end
of the pipestem where 1t has been in
the previous smokers mouth. New
