THE DELAYED ELOCUM SENTENCE.

There is abundant reason to pity but not much
ground for sympathy with Van Schalck' the
ca ptan of the excursion steamer General $40

lust been confirmed by the Federal Circuit
Court of Appeals It is true that pe1ore Tue
SIocum disaster his record had apparently been
good 1t is true that at his age-seventy years
the sentence is practically for life. 1t is true
that grave share of responsibility was shown
to rest rDOn unfaithful or incompetent in
spectors 1t is true that the owners OF the
boat who profited from her operations, ana
in whose employ and under whose orders van

ability for the awful tragedy.
These things however do not affect the para

personal guilt of Van Schaick. Concerning tnat

His record Of neglect says the federai at

Slocum disaster was good, that fact only EN-

from good conduct But it seems more PROB

said merely apparently good. That is TO say,
he WAS lucky enough TO have no serious dls-

his employers should have provided the poat

doubtless equally true that they would nave

One unfortunate feature of the case is the
DELAY which has supervened between the com
mission of the offence and the imposition or the
penalty. That is regrettable on various GROUNDS,
but on none perhaps. more than that or the

FAST BECOMING POPULAR WITH
GARDENERS IN AND AROUND
DENVER.
BIG SHIPMENTS MADE
COLORADO PRODUCT PROMISES
TO BECOME FAVoRITE IN
EASTERN MARKETS.

The first of the matured Colorado
celery is just getting into market.
Housewives and marketers are pick
ing It with critical eye and feeling that
satisfaction which comes to them from
finding a product which is all it should
be for the table. Only those whose bust
ness or pleasure have taken them in re-
cent times into the garden patches
near Denver can appreciate what sta
pie product celery has become or how
many are engaged in its production
Along the South Park railroad line
that runs to Morrison and up into the
park are to be seen these days patches
of the ripening celery which are a real
delight to see. Every available inch
of the rich bottom tracts between the
foot of the dry mesa and the railroad
in the vicinity of Overland station has
been possessed by gardeners who have
cultivated the soil with all the inten-
sity of an Italian garden until the
trinity boxed rows of green with the
clean and mellow ground between
make a pastoral scene that not only
is pleasing to the eye bue speaks clo-
garden tracts beyond the Jesuit col
lege, in the valley of Clear Creek, over
North Denver way, are in almost un-
broken succession of celery beds show
ing the same attention and close cul-
tivation. The crop is starting to mar
ket and the harvest is under way. The
fine white punches with their green
tops being peeled from the boxed rows
in which they have been all but buried,
look most inviting to the epicure.
1t may surprise some to know that
one section, that is adjacent to Brigh
ton, will ship all of $50 carloads of
celery this season. The superiority of
the Colorado product, the fact that
some climatic condition tends not only
to give the stalks a superior flavor, but
to make them crisper and whittier and
in every way more desirable, has
broadened the market for it until Colo
RADIO celery is becoming as stable in
eastern markets as has the cantaloupe
been for many years. Its cultivation is
beginning to do for certain lands of
the state much the same in the way of
increasing their desirability and value
IHaI tne lrults are uolnS LOT tne west
ern slope, and the sugar beets for dis
tricts contiguous to factories. Lands
that cannot grow fruits and are too far
away from beet markets, are gradu-
ally finding their adaptability to some
staple vegetable until something of a
uniformity of value is coming through
out the state. The celery crop prom
iSeS to be an increasing factor to this
end.

Mis- Mean Trick.

There certainl:' are differences in
feelings" said the woman who some
times philosophers. "or at least diff
ferent ways OF expressing them.
"a few days ago a shocking incident
occurred in the apartment house
where live. The janitor, who Was an
unusually good looking man, about 50
years old, killed himself, for some
wholly inadequate reason-some diff
ference with his employer OF course
everybody in the house was much up-
set by the tragedy and |, with other
tenants, went down to the basement
to see his wife and offer aid.
"The wife. however, seemed more
resentful than grief-stricken.
Would you ever think such fine
man would do such a mean trick?'
she exclaimed"

Denver's Big Stock Show.

The Executive Committee cf the
Western Stock association recently
met at the Denver Stock Yards to con-
slider plans for the next show which is
to be held the week of January 18th.
The show, says the Record -Stockman,
will be one of the greatest ever held
in the West. There will be a grand
horse fair every night in the new build
ing which will be heated and lighted
and made most comfortable. The new
pavilion will seat 6,54O people and
there is standing room for as many
more. Some of the greatest horses
in the world will be here on exhibi-
ton, including the six teams of the
big packers.
A resolution was adopted asking the
Colorado Cattle and Horse Growers
association to take charge of the lit
erary and social feature of the Stock
Show association and it is probable
that the annual dollar dinner of the
state association will be made big
feature of the week with prominent
speakers to address the stockmen on
matters of educational value to their
DuSlHeSS.
Owing to the lateness of the season,
and the fact that cattle have been slow
getting into the feed lots the rule re-
garding the Commercial Glass entries
was amended to permit entries
to be made up to November 18th. This
class is expected to be of considerable
interest and number of stockmen are
preparing to enter.
Work on the new coliseum is being
pushed and work will start at once on
several new barns to house the large
number of animals expected to enter
the show. Hundreds of men are at
work at the stock yards on the prep
arations and no expense will be spared
to have evrything in shape in time
for the show.

Counting by Machinery.

A Swedish inventor has designed
an apparatus for counting money and
sorting the pieces into specified guam
titles In the first place, money Of
various denominations is put into the
machine and separated according to
value, these being sent into various
tubes. When in the tubes the coins
can be taken out in lots of 10, 20, so or
100 pieces, at the will of the operator.
fhe apparatus is capable of separat-
Ing, counting and dividing into the lots
before mentioned 10000 pieces in an
hour. One machine under one opera
tor is able to accomplish in one DAY
as much counting as could he done by
so most experienced bank cashiers

Fatal Wyoming Railroad Wreck.

Cheyenne, Wyo.-The failure of air
brakes to work, which Tuesday night
caused one of the worst rear-end col
lisions in the history of the Union
Pacific, an eastbound extra freight
running wild down the steep grade of
Sherman mountain, crashing into the
locomotive and caboose of a work
train at Borie, eleven miles west of
Cheyenne, cost nine lives. The dead
are:
John Murphy, Denver, conductor OF
the work train.
Clarence Stitt, Denver, brakeman of
the work train.
C. W. Rodgers, Denver, brakeman
of the work train.
J. C. Schley, Laramie, Wyo., engi-
neer of the eastbound freight.
Mons Christensen, Cheyenne, Wyo.,
man of the eastbound freight.
J. d. Duncan, Laramie, Wyo., brake
man of the eastbound freight.
Three unknown Japanese laborers.
The injured are:
Joseph Clinton, Denver engineer of
the work train.
Chris Hansen, Denver, fireman of
the work train.
Ed Tracey, Cheyenne, brakeman OF
the eastbound freight.
None of the injured will die, al
though all are badly burned and
crushed.
Traffic was delayed twelve hours,
and the loss to the company in roll
ing stock and merchandise will aggre-
gate 100000.

Beet tops and pulp are worth S. an
acre and the fertilization which comes
from sheep in travelling over the land
will return to the soil as much value
as the feed costs. says farm paper.
Suger beet growing and sheep raising
ought always to be twin industries for
they both have interests in common.
Sheep fertilization increases the pro
duction to the amount of one and one
half tons more beets an acre the fol-
lowing year and enhances the value
of the land about S12 an acre yearly.

LABOR REPORTS
FROM ABROAD
STATEMENTS OF FOREIGN DELE,
GATES BEFORE AMERICAN
FEDERATION OF LABOR.
CAUSE IS ADVANCING
WOMEN AND CHILDREN SHOULD
BE GOTTEN OUT OF ENGLISH
WORKSHOPS.

DenVer.-Thursday morning Presi-
dent Gompers called for addresses
from delegates from abroad.
P. M. Draper, secretary of the Cana
dian Trades and Labor Congress, dis
cussed the Canadian labor movement
as compared with the movement in the
United States and made complaint
against shop employees who were i'm
ported from the United States by the
Canadian Pacific railroad to take the
places of the Canadian employees who
went on strike.
Draper was followed by John Wads-
worth, fraternal delegate from Eng
Ind, who represents the coal miners
unions. He discussed the visible diff
ference between the prosperity of
America and the prosperity of Eng
land and declared it was all in favor
of America, though he had noticed that
in some sections of the United States
there were troubles with the unem-
ployed problem. Wadsworth told how
ut of all sorts of strikes and labor
troubles until now they had reached
a point where the power of the strike
had made such wholesome impress
sion on the employers of the country
that they were of infrequent occur
renee.
j. Herbert Skinner his colleague,
iptr h..
as the proud printer" from England.
Skinner told of the campaign launched
recently in Ireland for the union label
on all union made goods, and declared
that it was hoped within a short time
to make it almost impossible for
tradesmen in Ireland to dispose of arti-
cles that do not bear the label of the
craft that makes them. He said that
the British Parliament is to be asked
to enact universal eight-hour law.
At the afternoon session Andrew
Furuseth, fraternal delegate to the
English labor congress at Nottingham,
and Hugh Franey, delegate to the
Canadian congress at Halifax, n. s.,
made, their reports.
Fupseth, in his report, declared that
the solution of the unemployed ques-
tion in England would never be
reached until the women and children
were gotten out of the workshops and
into the homes and schools where they
belonged. He said that in Nottingham
there were three women for every man
employed, and the manufacturers
there arranged wages on the family
basis, much after the fashion in vogue
in the textile mills in Massachusetts.
He said that while he was in Eng
land, meetings of the unemployed were
being held in all sections of the coun-
try, and bodies of men marched on
London after the fashion of CoXeys
army. The general condition, he said,
reminded him of the situation in the
United States in 1894, and 1895 after
the panic.

Always Staunch

The Denver Republican has al
ways avoided the fallacies and
knaveries of yellow journalism,
and its steadily increasing Circula
ton proves conclusively that its
policy of telling the plain Truth
without eXaggeration or misrepre-
sentation, standing fast for the
Right, is heartily approved with
growing force by the intelligent
Public to which it appeals.
To read it is a liberal Education,
and the citizen who goes without
it does a positive harm to himself,
to his family, and to the commu-
nifty.

Son of watterson Killed.

New York.-Harvey w. Watterson,
a lawyer and younger son of Henry
Watterson, editor of the Louisville
CourierJournal, plunged to his death
from the nineteenth floor of his office
building at 81 Wall street Wednesday
afternoon. His body shot downward
for no feet and landed on the roof OF
a ten-story building adjoining. Almost
every bone was broken and the head
crushed. Death was instantaneous,
While there were no eye-witnesses TO
the tragedy, evidently it was entirely
accidental.

The Latest Market Report.

When the market reporter was indis-
posed the poet-paragrapher was drafted
to do the markets-and this is what he
wrote: Butter is still strong at 35
cents holding its own; yeast cakes
are raising steadily; bananas are slip
ping along at the old price with an
occasional drop; cheese is lively and
stirring; syrups are sticking to former
prices and about pint more to the
quart than they were last year; dried
apples are swelling the markets :;
chickens are picking up a little, and
pork is still on the hog"

A Question of Clothes.

Little Newman's mother had faith

his play and in excitement cried:
Mamma, mamma, if just my soul
goes to heaven, what am I going to
button my pants onto o?"-Delineator.
