in HONOR OF
!. THE PASTOR

In honor of Rev. d. D. Forsyth, the
popular pastor, and his family, and
in celebration of Rev. Forsyth's re-
turn to the local church for another
years pastorate, the ladies of the
church gave a reception and social
last evening in the parlors of the
church.
In spite of the many other meet
ings and affairs in the city last night,
a large number of the men and wom-
en- of the congregation and other
friends of the pastor were present,
and the evening was passed in a
most delightful manner.
A short program, consisting of mu-
steal numbers and recitations, was
carried out. Rev. Forsyth then made
a brief, sincere and appreciative talk,
declaring that he was glad to be able
TO remain another year in Grand
Junction, and pronouncing the years
he has spent here as being among
the happiest of his life.
Late in the evening ices and cakes
wee served.
The occasion was one long to be
remembered pleasantly by those who
were served.

STOLE ALL
THE PEACHES

A fruit grower residing near the
city suffered pretty heavy loss
Wednesday night. He had harvested
and shipped all of his peaches but
on few trees. These peaches were
exceedingly fine and the trees were
full of the rich fruit. The grower
had determined to save these peach
es for the use of the family, and the
family expected to can and preserve
the fruit. There was great guam
tity of the peaches, fifty boxes per-
haps.
Yesterday morning the grower and
his family awoke to find every one
of those fine peaches on those heav-
lily ladened trees, missing. Not one
had been left by some thieves who
had visited the orchard during the
night and quietly but surely approp-
rated all of the peaches.
So far no trace of the thieves has
been found.
If the family puts up any fruit
this season they must now purchase
it.
1t was a most aggrevating theft

One cannot witness a presen-
tatlon OF one of the old standard
British dramas by a really stan
dard company without drawing
q comparison that isn't quite to
the advantage of the modern

compare with the average SO.

about as the poetry of Byron
and Tennyson does with that of
well it is hardly worth while
to call names.
There are few habitues of the

The Rivals many times. for it
is a comedy that many actors
like to play, and n which the
late Joseph Jefferson has pro-
duced hundreds of times and
within the memory of the pres
ent generation. For years the
idea has been prevalent that no
one could play the character of
Bob Acres quite as well as he
did. yet in his son William is
recognized a chip of the old
block and a scion worthy to fol.
low in the footsteps of his illus.
tirous sire. 1t is hardly pos.
sible to find any fault with his
Interpretation of the role and
through comparisons are odious,
the Younger Jefferson gives such
q splendid performance that
there is little danger of his being
damned with faint praise. He
lives and thrives and does not
suffer when his hardest critics
compare his work with that of
his illustrious father.
THE Sir Lucius OTrigger of
Mr. Joseph Jefferson was also a
finished bit of acting that was
decidedly pleasing and the same
artistic thoroughness that char
acterized the work of w. j. Flor
ence in the very same part was
manifested in every information,
gesture, every pause. There is
an unctious humor to his per-
Torrance that is seldom seen
and altogether it is one of the
best il not the very best comedy

on the local stage"
