COLORED NUNS.
Two Sisterhoods In United
States Have Many
RELIGIOUS.

At the present day there are two
Catholic orders, numbering almost
200 colored nuns, laboring on behalf
of their own people in the United
States. One of these two orders
the Oblate Sisters of Providence
has been in existence as commu-
nifty since the year 1929. 1t was
founded by Father Joubert, a
Frenchman who had emigrated to
Hayti at the time of the reign of
terror in France. The early part of
the nineteenth century was marked
by the arrival in the United States
of great many refugees from Hayti
and Santo Domingo. Joubert was
among these refugees. He landed at
Baltimore, studied there for the
priesthood and was finally ordained.
Father Joubert had two friends to
whom he confided his dream of
forming a religious community of
colored women who would devote
their lives to the education and
service of their own people. Both
friends gave him warm encourage
ment and spoke of four young
women who were their penitents.
These women, three of them from
Santo Domingo and one a native of
this country, kept a small private
school and led a retired life with the
hope of some day consecrating them
selves to God in religion.
Without delay Father Joubert
sought out these women, told them
of his plans and after much prayer
and searching of hearts they humbly
offered themselves to him for the
work. With the permission of his
superior Father Joubert called on
Archbishop Whitfield, of Baltimore,
who warmly approved his plans and
authorized him to form such a COM
munity. After the formal plan of
a rule had been drawn up and the
usual probation undergone, on July
2, 1929, the order was established.
On that day the first four Sisters
made their vows as Oblate Sisters of
Providence. They at once opened a
small school. which soon became
more crowded.
Father Joubert governed the con-
vent until his death in 1s43, being
attended in his fatal illness by Sister
mary Joseph, most remarkable
woman, and at her death, in 1904,
the oldest nun in the world. She was
known to have reached the great
age of 113. Today the Oblate Sis
ters have about ninety members.
They conduct orphanages and day
schools in Baltimore. Normandy,
Mo-. st. Louis. Leavenworth. Kan;
a parochial school in Washington,
ID. c., and a day school in Havana,
Cuba. They have more than 200
orphans under their care and 500
pupils in their schools.
The Congregation of the Sisters of
the Holy Family was the second or
der founded Tin 1891 for colored
women. The mother house of the or
der is in what was formerly a notori-
Gus dance hall in New Orleans. where
now constant prayer to God and the
practice of good works make it a
hallowed place. The Sisters number
about eighty They have an academy
for girls in New Orleans and teach

TOLD THE TRUTH.

A juryman came breathlessly into
the court: "Oh, my Lord, If you can
excuse me, pray do. | don't know
which will die first-my wife or nv
daughter"
Dear me, that's sad" said the in
nocent Judge. Certainly you are ex-
cused."
The next day the juryman was met
by a friend, who, in sympathetic
voice, asked: How is your wife?"
''She's all right, thank you"
"And your daughter?"
"She's all right, too. Why do you
ask?"
"Why yesterday you said you did
moi know which you'd die first"
Nor do |. That is a problem that
time alone can solve"

to be specific, will dwell within the
present limits of Greater New York.
BY 1850 1t is expected enough other
territory will have been annexed to
the city to bring the population up
to 25,000,000. Should this predic-
ton prove true New York, of course,
will be the greatest city in the world
or in the worlds history. as there is
no likelihood of any other city at
tanning such size within the next half
century.

Denver Markets.

DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS.
Jan. 30-Over II. 500 head of
cattle were received here last
week. A great many of these
came for the show but there was
also liberal offering on the local
market. The demand was strong
for all grades and prices ruled
generally steady throughout the
week despite the fact that east
ern markets quoted big declines.
Beef steers sold mostly at S4.00
to S4. so on the open market with
fancy carloads of show steers up
to $3.50. and the champion car
load at $50. The single fat
steers in the show brought 4.25
to 81 % with the grand champion
single steer at S21.O0. Cows
were good sellers, most of the
best killers going at $500 to
So. 60 on the open market. Show
cows sold up to S4.75 and the
prize heifer, Jane Grubb, brought
$3.50 in the auction ring. The
supply of feeder cattle was heavy
and some good ones here. Buy
ers were plentiful and all pur-
chased readily, the result being
a good active market and very
satisfactory prices. Most of the
feeders sold at auction brought

Good Water
on Ash Mesa.

Nussbaum & Anderson, the
well drilling contractors, have
just finished a well for G. E.
Cotter on Ash mesa, in which
they struck a big flow of fine
water. The water was encoun-
tered at a depth of 653 feet, and
on Tuesday of this week had
risen to a height of 535 feet in
the well. 1t may rise enough to
make the we'll a flowing one, but
if it does not Mr.. Cotter will be
very we'll satisfied. The well
will furnish enough water to
supply Olathe and all of the sur
rounding ranches, and Mr.. Cot
ter deserves commentator for
his courage and enterprise in be-
ginning a work of such magni-
tude without any positive assur-
ance that water would be found.
The drilling of the well, together
with the delays incident to so
large a contract, has consumed
about eight months, but all par
ties concerned feel that their eff
forts have been amply rewarded
by the success that finally came.
Water was encountered at var
ious depths in the shale forma-
tions, but was of inferior quality.
This water was kept carefully
cased out of the well and the
drilling continued until the fine
vein of superior water was en-
countered.
If the well does not prove to
be a flowing one Mr.. Cotter will
install a gasoline engine pumping
outfit to bring water up for use.
He recently completed an elegant
two story cement block residence
on his ranch that cost 81, 600, and
the well will greatly enhance the
value of his ranch. and add great
!y to the enjoyment of the family
in their new home. -Montrose

Death Of [. c. Ellington.

Died, at the home place on Rogers
Mesa, Sunday afternoon, January 10,
1908, of congestion of the brain, Ly-
curgus C. Ellington. aged 81 years and
months.
While it was known to the people of
this valley that Mr.. Ellington had been
i'll for some days yet all were hoping
that he would speedily recover and
when the news came that at four
O'Clock Sunday afternoon he had an
swered to the call of the sable plumed
reaper, the community was plunged
into grief. That this prominent citizen
and good man should go, brought the
great fact of the easy termination of
life home to them.
l.. c. Ellington was born in Platte
County, Missouri, August 10, 1916, and
was the eldest of six children, being
survived by four brothers and one sis
ter. He resided in Missouri till 1865
when he moved to FL Paso County,
Colorado, where he engaged in the cat
tie business. On Sept. 18th, 1876, he
was united in marriage with Miss Eva
Terrill, of Iowa, who survives him.
From this union three children were
born, the eldest dying at the age of
two years. Two survive-R. Terrill
and Alva Z.
In Ell paso county Mr.. Ellington. lost
his health and came to Delta county

Hog receipts were 9, 400 head

urgent. Prices held up very
well, bulk now selling at S4.30 to

Sheep receipts were good.
Prices were higher early in the
week but lates there was some
drop in sympathy with eastern
declines. The demand here is
good and prices fully in line with
eastern markets. Show lambs
sold at Sc. as to S7.35 and lambs
on the open market brought $6.25

At the closing session of the con-

for stock trains by congress was
amended to make the minimum speed
30 miles per hour, where such a

his policy of government control and
the leasing system. and had received
the following telegram in response:

Indorse Pure Food Bill.
Resolutions were adopted com
mending the pure food bill and rule
76. in relation to the use of sui
phur in preserving prunes and meats,
but the president was asked to see
that the rule was modified so that
a greater percent of sulphur. may be
used than is now permitted.
Under the new rule the products
must show not more than $4,000 Of
1 per cent of sulphur dioxide. and
Professor Griggs of San Francisco
stated that such small percentage
was too little to safely preserve the
products in question. The reso-
lutions favored the appointment of
commission. as proposed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. to investigate and
adjust this matter.
Thanks were returned to Secretary
of Agriculture James Wilson for his
friendship shown the stockmen for
many years, and especially for send
ing representatives of the animal in
dustry and forest bureaus to at
tend this convention.
Resolutions of thanks were also
rendered Denver and stockmen in
general for assistance and courtesies
in connection with the convention.
and the press of Denver received
similar compliment. Various officers
were thanked for their excellent
work of the previous year. and the
convention adjourned TO meet in Los
