firm.
The jurist will not verify the ru-
NOR. neither will he deny it.
The reason given for his alleged
decision to retire is that he feels
business life would be more re-
munerative. He now holds much
stock in street railways and other
corporations.
Judge Grosscup was at one time
mentioned as a possible presidential
candidate.

His Death Due to Freak Hat.

A Merry Widow hat has caused the
tragic death of an innocent man in
Paris. He was sitting opposite the hat.
which was worn by a lady going to the
Bots de Boulogne. AS he gazed at the
amazing construction 1t annoyed him
more and more. and as he gazed he
grew red in the face. Finally. he could
stand 1t no longer and ventured to re-
mark to the lady OIL the size OF her

criticism. and at her retort the man
fell in a fit and a few minutes later
was dead. Apoplexy had carried him

with red, white and blue bunting.
Wires were stretched across the street
from these poles and from each wire
two American flags were suspended.
The flags hung over the street and
were weighted to prevent them from
becoming tangled and torn by the
wind.
On Seventeenth street the scheme
was the same, except there were only
six poles to each block, two at each
corner and two at each alley. :
Business Houses Decorated.
At each crossing two wires 9were
strung ~diagonally across the intersec-
ton, from which red, white and blue

moss houses along the three streets
were handsomely decorated with
bunting and flags. Elaborate and cost.
ly electric display signs had been
put in place on the buildings, and at
night Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Seven
teenth streets were a blaze of light.
Electric display signs are one OF
the main features of business life in
Denver. Every merchant has an elec-
trio sign, and as all of the streets that
cross the three thoroughfares de-
scribed are live business streets, the
committee on illumination did not find
1t necessary to add much in the way
of light to these of trade.
However. the business houses were
handsomely decorated with bunting
and flags, SO the entire business sec.
ton OF Denver was q mass Of color
