1t is admitted by many Republicans
that unless there is a decided change
for the better in business conditions
the prospects for q Republican victory
this fall will not be as good, by any
means, as could be desired. The we'll

Welt. made some weeks ago. that no

many of that party. They will not

whether the country will be satisfied
with the measure of Improvement
which will have been reached by cleo

CONTINUE to doubt the wisdom of the

The resignation is in the hands

will in all probability be accepted,
but with sincere regret.

PAY HONOR
TO THE DEAD

With over fifty members of
the lodge and over one hundred
friends of the order, including
many ladies, in attendance, the
beautiful memorial services of
the knights of Pythias were car
ried out yesterday afternoon Mt
3 o'clock in Odd Fellows hall.
The ritualistic ceremonies were ex-
ecuted in a most impressive and sin
cere manner by the officers and men,
bers of the lodge. Two sweet num-
bers were rendered by quartet COM
posed of Mrs. Myrtle Greer, Mrs. F.
R. Welles, Mr.. Sherman w. Moody
and Mr.. Edwin A Sherman. The
hymn, 81 Would Not Live Away"
and the closing ode of the lodge,
rendered by the quartet. Mr.. Sher-
man gave a most beautiful and in
spring sacred solo. The musical
features of the ceremonies were es-
pecially fine. Mrs. Edwin A. Has
kell presided at the piano.
The orations of the afternoon We're
delivered by knights r. l.. Magill
and r. C. Walker. Each address was
fitting, interesting and embraced n
magnificent yet not overdrawn trib-
ute to the order, its teachings and its
purposes.
The stations of the officers and the
altar on which lay a large wreath
were handsomely decorated in white
and black.
1t was, indeed, an ideal manner in
which Junction Lodge No. 124 paid
tributes of respect ana affection to
the memory of those knights who
have been called from the castle hall
on earth to the everlasting lodge on
high.
The services were among the most
impressive of their kind ever held in
the city.

time.
Rev. Lyon and family came TO
Grand Junction eight years ago next
November. Under his pastorate ST
Matthew'S church has grown from
small, struggling membership to one
of the largest and strongest churches
in the city. The influence of the
church has widened constantly, and
Rev. Lyon has been largely respon-
sible for this. He has made faith
full, conscientious, popular pastor,
and all will regret to see him leave.
He is minister of splendid ability
and man of noble qualifications and
attributes.
No steps have yet been taken to
secure a successor in the local pas
torate for Rev. Lyon, but such steps
will be taken at once.

Under our present extraordinary adj

ton goes on apace. AS everyone knows,
the executive departments have Moth

draw the money appropriated with reg

what has been done with 1t. The Pres
ident alone has power under the Con
stitution to recommend such measures
as he may deem necessary for the pub
lie business. But President Roosevelt's
young men, who he has made members
of his Cabinet. seem to imagine they
are the whole shooting match, and that

carrying out the laws that Congress
may see fit to pass, as far rs they re-

Aluminium in Machinery.

Aluminium is increasingly used in
machine construction, as in crank
Fases and gear boxes for motor cars,
for electric wire, and for new alloys,
pigments, and metal plating, and the
aluminium cell as a lightning ar
roster has proved to be a valuable
addition to lightning-protecting de-
vices. During recent wears the price
of tin has been very high, and since
adequate new supplies of ore have not
been discovered, substitutes for tin
must be used in manufactures. Alum
mum is regarded as probable the
most available substitute for tin in
the great majority Of uses to which
that metal is put. owing to the di-
minution in the price OF aluminium,
the practically limitless supply of the
raw material, and the favorable phys
ical properties of the metal. AS the
production of aluminium is cheapened
so will the uses for it increase. The
demand steadily keeps ahead of the
supply. Scientific American.

Proof Against Rust.

Consul Albert HalsteaG, of Bir-
ming CHAM. reports thai an option on
the American rights to a patent pro-
cess called 'sheradizing," which, it is
asserted, makes iron and steel rust
proof, and has been successful in
England for time, has been sold to
a firm in New York He adds:
1T is claimed for this process that
it coats iron and steel with zinc as
well or better than ordinary wet GAL
vanizing. and that the iron and steel
thus coated can be brilliantly polish
ed. In the process zinc dust is placed
in cylinder which has been broug hi
to a temperature of 400 to 500 de-
grees Fahrenheit; that is, below the
melting point of zinc. The articles
it is desired to "skeradize' are put
into the cylinder, which is then re-
vclved. The zinc in this process is
not actually melted. but forms an al
10y through the surface of the articles
absorbing the zinc, and then coat
ing covering the whole visible sur
face is deposited to any desirable
thickness. Articles thus treated are
said to have an even and adherent
coating, which wears excellently and
does not strip, and that by the use
OF lime mop are easily polished.
Aluminium and antimony can be sub
stituted, it is said, for zinc, with
success. while when copper and its
alloys are subjected to this process
their surface is so hardened as even
to turn the edge of steel tool

Hlah Salaries for PLAYERS.

Of all the people who work for their
living, vaudeville performers are the
best paid OF Observation-Disclosures,
seven-eighths-of the travelling theat
rical companies, the whole salary list
does not amount to $500 a week
and yet in vaudeville that much is
paid to one performer who gives an
eighth Of the performance. 1t is true
that a S2,500-a-week performer doesn't
appear often in any one theatre, but
an act that costs $1,000 a week has
become the rule rather than the ex-
ception in every bill, while a great
majority of the acts cost from $3.50
to $500, and in the best vaudeville
houses no act costs less than S75
week. "Chasers," employed to drive
tinuous performances, get that much.
In the good vaudeville houses the sal
airy list of performers ranges from
$4,000 to $4,000 a week, and the max
imum is paid more often than the
minimum Occasionally the cost will
run to $4,000 a week. The standard
in practically every first class yaude-
vile house in the country is $4,000 a
week, and each manager tries TO keep
as close to that as possible. It has
been found that this will provide an
attractive bill and yet leave a fair
margin of proft.-Everybod Maya
