1.-THE College Boy" which played to
two big houses Saturday proved a thor

that was about as novel as any that

story of a man Of 30 years who imper-
sonates a schoolboy and who gets into
all sorts Of startling trouble as Sc
quel. The principal character was
taken by Ralph Riggs, who is we'll

the best sense of the word. The music
was above the ordinary.-The Jefferson

the relief being effected without the slightest
injury to the stomach or other organs.

coNDoN,s STORE ENLARGED.
TGreeley, Colo. Daily Tribunel

A. ]. Condor has leased the second
floor of the Halves building. above his
store, and will in this way double his floor
capacity. The place has been occupied
by the Greeley club. Carpenters are
now busy tearing out partitions and re-
modelling the rooms to suit the needs of
the store. The rooms are to be arranged
and fashioned after the plans of city
stores, and when completed will be among
the most modern, up-to-date and COM
modious stores in the State outside of
Denver.
The large room in the center of the
building will be fitted up as a parlor,
finely carpeted and furnished, hung with
pictures and made comfortable and at
tractive. This will be used as display
room for ladies' suits, which will be kept
in the suit rooms off the display ROOM
A millinery department is to be added,
and the front room on the left will be
used for the display, while the one on the
right will be the work room for the
millinery department, and also for alter
atoms of the suits.
The carpet room has floor space of
50x70 feet. The part near the entrance
will be the art room, where draperies and
lace curtains will be shown. On the east
side the linoleums will be kept and in
the rear will be an advertising room.
Work is being pushed on the remodel
ing as rapidly as possible and Mr.. Condor
hopes soon to take possession of the new
quarters.

STEAMER BELFAST TO BE LAUNCHED
THIS MONTH.

The steamer Belfast, sister ship to
the Camden, will be launched from Bath
Iron Works yard, in Bath, sometime this
month. The ways are being put under
the hull now, and it is expected that the
boat will be ready to take its initial plunge
within a few days. Work will be con-
tinued all winter, installing the machinery
and boilers and putting on the finishing
touches to the exterior and interior.
The Belfast will be fitted along similar
lines to the Camden, although the colors
will be different. The dining saloon will
be on the main deck, aft, and will have
broad plate glass windows at either side.
The office, which will be on the main deck
between the main passenger gangways,
will be finished in mahogany. The main
saloons, both forward and aft, will be
finished in white and gold, in plain but
artistic and most attractive designs. AS
it now looks the City of Belfast will run
opposite to the Camden on the Bangor
Division, although first it will be neces-
sary to lengthen some of the river
wharves. This work will probably be
done in the spring.

Silent and Dramatic.

The most dramatic of silent men was Wallenstein, the antagonist of Gustavus Adolphus and, the command CT of the emperor's armies in the Thir- ty Years war. He insisted that the deepest silence should reign about him. His officers took care that no loud con- versation should disturb their general. They knew, that chamberlain had been hanged for waking him without orders and that an officer who would wear clanking spurs in the command CTS presence had been secretly put to death. In the rooms of his palace the servants glided as if they were phantoms, and a dozen sentinels nov ed about hisptent charged to secure the silence the general demanded
 Chains were stretched across the streets in erder to guard him against the disturbance of sounds. Wallen- stein's taciturnity, which made him shun speech, and his love of silence, which caused him to be irritated at the slightest noise, were due to his constitutional temperament. He never smiled, he never asked advice from any one, and he could not endure to be gaZed at, even when giving an or der. The soldiers, when he crossed the camp, pretended not to see him, knowing that a curious look would bring them punishment. -.. ..

English Sporting Parsons.

To the London Times a correspond ent writes: "Once when duke of Grafton was thrown into a ditch a young curate who had been closely competing with him for pride of place shouted, Lie. still, your grace and cleared him and his hunter and the fence at a bound. So pleased was the duke with the performance that he declared he would give the young di- vine his first vacant living and not long afterward carried out the prom ise, vowing that if the curate had stopped to pull him out of the dike he would never have patrOnized him. Sporting parsons are still to be found in almost every county today who can hold their own in the first flight when hounds run hard and some of the keen est fox hunters in all times have been supplied from the ranks of the clergy. Even the warning. against their 'hawkynge, huntynge and dansynge' in the reign of King Henry VI. appears to have had very little effect" -.

Men sometimes dream of enormous wealth stored deep in the earth, be low the, reach of miners; but, accord
 ing to an eminent geologist, there is little or no ground to believe that val. uable metallic deposits lie very deep in the earth's crust Such deposits, according to this authority, are made by underground waters, and owing to the pressure on the rocks at great depths the waters are confined to a shell near the surface. With few ex- captions ore deposits become too lean to repay working below 5000 feet.
