here for many years, shrugged his
shoulders, in the expressive French
manner, when | asked if the rela-
tives were honest, and declined to
answer. On being pressed his sole
reply was "too much atavism." L
discovered that this meant, accord
ing to his idea that the natives pre-
| ferred Professionalism to Catholicism.
1t is queer that these people who
are so fond of pomp and ceremony,
and are attracted by gaudy color
ings and vestments, are nearly all
Protestants, and it will not accept
Catholic religion. Christianity pre-
dominates but it runs entirely to
Professionalism. Mormonism has q
strong hold, not the polygamous
kind, but / was told by a Mormon
missionary that Spiritualism is rap
idly making Roadway, and crowd
ing out other forms of religious be-
lief. The inclination of these ma
tives to Spiritualism is the natural
sequence of their primitive religion,
and a peculiar phase of it is that it
has taken on form of Diabelism.
The study of this is of such inter-
est that | shall have to take anoth-
er letter to tell Of some Of the queer
rites practiced by the natives in
their ceremonies attendant upon
their religious services.
There are many churches on the
island, and all Of them have been
built by the natives. They are
well attended. and the natives seem
to be strict in their observances Of
all the forms and regulations.

Cannot Control Sale of "NearBeer'

Judge T. w. Harrison of VIM
chester, handed down an opinion
in which he interprets the Byrd
law as applied to alleged non in
toxicating beverages and in doing
so he dismissed man from custody
on whom a fine of $500 had been
imposed for selling NEAR beer, "
the state contending that the stuff
could only be sold by the brewer to
the consumer and that q license of
$3.50 is necessary to sell to the con-
.sumer. The man was fined for
selling less than nalf dozen bottles,
the minimum prescribed in the
Byrd law, and the fine was i'm
posed.
Judge Harrison's decision is that
near beer being a non intoxlcant
the legislature had no right to pro-
hibit it's sale in any quantity or to
in any way regulate traffic therein,
basing his ruling on section 81 Of
the constitution.

FRIGHTFUL
ACCIDENT ON
5. s. VIRG|N|AN

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 6.-While
setting the strong backs into place in
hold No. 2 OF the American Hawaiian
freighter Virginian, six men were
thrown into the lower hold and badly
injured. One, a Mexican stevedore
was instantly killed, while three others
of the same nationality were fatally
injured. Third Mate Allison and Quar-
termaster Tobin were also badly in
jured, the former having his hips
crushed and the latter sustaining a
broken shoulder and broken legs.
The accident occurred while the big
freighter was loading OH the night OF
August goth in the harbor of Salina
Cruz. Mate Allison was superintend-
ing. the placing of the strong backs on
the hatch between decks. The six
men were standing on one of the
strong backs, to which a crane cable
was attached. The Mexican engineer
inadvertently gave the signal to hoist,
and with the rise of the strong back
the six men were precipitated into the
hold, thirty feet below. They fell in
heap, and those who went to their
rescue thought all had been killed.
One Mexican was instantly killed,
being disemboweled by the fall. The
others were unconscious and had to be
hoisted out of the hold. When the
Viriginian left Salina Cruz the three
injured Mexicans and Quartermaster
Tobin were in a hospital. Mate Allison,
who was the less injured, was brought
up on the steamer and removed on a
stretcher.
The Virginian landed freight here
twenty and a half days after its ship
ment from New York. The cargo was
taken on at Salina Cruz out of the
steamers American and Hawaiian.

HER CHANGING MIND.

One afternoon not long ago a young
woman stepped up to the telegraph
counter in a local department store,
and in a trembling voice asked for a
supply of blanks.
She wrote message on one blank,
which she Immediately tore in halves;
then a second message was written out
that was treated in the same way;
finally third was accomplished; and
this she handed to the operator with a
feverish request that it be rushed"
When the message had gone on the
wire and the sender had departed, the
operator read the other two for her
own amusement.
The first ran: "All at an end Have
no wish to see you again"
do not write or try to see me any
more" was the tenor of the second
message.
The third was to this effect: Come
at once. Take next train if possible.

JUVENILE CAUTION.

A very circumspect and conscien-
tious young miss of four was sent into
the parlor of a certain Philadelphia
household to entertain a caller for a
few minutes until her mother should
appear.
The conversation drifted to discus
sion Of the youngsters intellectual &C
quirements, and the visitor asked:
do you know the alphabet, Marie?"
yes, ma'am."
'Will you say it for me?'
Marie began glibly enough; but, af-
ter she had given three or four letters,
she stopped short, saying: If you
please, ma'am, don't think I better
say any more"
"And why not?" asked the caller,
surprised.
"Those are not all I know" eX-
planned the youngster, but, you know
mamma says mustn't tell all know"

ARE ENTHUSIASTIC
OVER THE IDEA

June II, is and 10 are to be
memorable days to Glenwood il
the Retail Druggists association
of the state of Colorado can make
them so. From the plans already
outlined, and the enthusiasm
with which they have been receiv-
ed, it is evident that the members
expect a repetition of the good
time they had here last year, and
it is certain that they will not be
disappointed
The association paid Glenwood
a high compliment when it chose
this city as its meeting place for
1908, at the convention held here
in 1907. 1t is seldom indeed that
a town is chosen twice in success
sion by any organized body, and
Druggist Parkison and other
public spirited citizens are going
to see to it that the choice is not
regretted.
This convention will bring
about 300 people to Glenwood,
and an attractive program has
been outlined by those who have
the matter in charge, at both ends
of the line.
Scattered through this month 8
issue of the Rocky Mountain
Druggist is sufficient convention
reading matter to fill two pages
of that large journal.
The firm of w. A. Hover and
the Davis-Bridaham company of
Denver are to give the delegates
to the convention a trip to Sho-
Shone Falls, and a journey to
Hanging lake in a special car is
another jaunt that will be a fen-
ture of the 1908 meeting
Every month the pharmacists
of Denver are holding what are
known as Glenwood- smokers. un--
der the auspices of the executive
committee. at which plans for the
convention are discussed and ip-
terest aroused in it. +s.
There will be several new fea-
lures on the entertainment pro-
gram in addition to those that
made the meet of last year such
m enjoyable event.

TRYING TO GET
US GOOD PLAYS

Howard & Campbell. local man
ayers of the opera house, are con-
ducting negotiations with the Nc
Courts of the Tabor Grand Of
Denver with the view of securing
the attractions of that house for
Glenwood Springs next season.
Whether or not they will be
brought to successful conclusion
cannot be stated definitely at this
time, but there is every reason TO
believe that the local theatrical
managers will do all in their pow
er to secure these high class at
fractions for this city.
The plays booked at the Tabor
are of uniformly high grade and
that theater is said to be one OF
the best ,noneymakers in Denver
Glenwood Springs has been get
ting what are known in the cap
ital city as Curtis street plays
which consist mostly of blood
and thunder melodramas. 1t is
the belief of a majority of the
people here that if good attrac.
tions were presented they would
be literally patronized.

The temperature did not fall as

believed that very great damage
has resulted from this mornings

From Wednesdays Daily Post.
Ice one-fourth of an inch thick
is what the Frost King did for
Glenwood and vicinity last night
it being one of the coolest nights
this season.
New Castle and vicinity report
everything above ground frozen,
and while it is believed that the
apple and pear crops have not
been damaged to any appreciable
extent, orchards in the valley suf-
fered extensively.
The following from Grand
Junction gives an idea of prevail
ing conditions there:
Thinking not of sleep or the
fact that they had been up all day
and caring only for the safety OF
the fruit crop upon which the
prosperity of the Grand valley de-
pends, hundreds of loyal, energet-
ic and public spirited citizens
went into the orchards last night
and assisted the farmers in
smudging, while hundreds of
others lighted fires in town and
helped immensely. AS a result it
is believed that the freeze of this
morning has been more effective
ly fought that those of Saturday
and Sunday nights when the peo-
pie were less prepared.
AT 40 o'clock this morning a
general alarm was sounded from
the weather bureau and few
minutes later the Grand valley
was covered by pail of smoke
which had the effect of raising
the temperature considerably and
maintaining it at higher point,
so that it is possible that the frost
has not done very great damage.
Early last evening President
Charles f. Cherrington. Secretary
d, W. Aupperle, scores of mem
bers of the chamber of commerce.
and others started out in rigs for
the various orchards and these
men pitched in and worked like
Troians smudging. Some went to
Pomona, others to Fruit Ridge
and surrounding territory. where
they worked all night.
