AN ELOQUENT ADDRESS

Eugene B. Peck, editor aud pro-
prietor of the Center Echo, the
great and only democratic news
paper published in the San Luis
Valley with circulation of 1900
at ~ per. was called to Alamosa
Monday night to enthuse the pop
ulace of that town in the interests
of the Baca Land Grant and San
Isabel lottery proposition.
He drew vivid picture Of this
great mountain park, all of which
is ''irrigable"- but not irrigated
and never will be for lack of water.
OF course, being a tenderfoot, it
has never occurred to him that
"irrigable" lands without water
were practically valueless. He
has acknowledgement on the maps
the great Saguache river, recently
discovered by the lottery land pro-
moters, which is supposed to be
ample to flood state the size of
Connecticut and sufficient to make
garden spots of upwards of 10000
five-acre ranches. Mr.. Peck has
read the literature of the wildcat
enterprises and with an attentive
ear has listened to the glowing
tributes paid to the east range by
the men who are anxious to fleece
the poor of the east at the rate of
80 per month until they shall
have parted with the savings of
two and half years in order that
they may take chance of getting
something for nothing.
1t is needless to remark that the
orator from Center was closely
listened to by a large audience of
about 40 men, women and children
and was heartily applauded at the
close of his mastery address.

THE RICH MANS HEART

Nothing SO stirs the human
heart, changing the interest and
object of mans life, bringing Joy
to his soul and inclining him to
yield obedience to the best impul-
ses of his being, as the clear per-
ception of great moral truth
which he had before overlooked.
And men Of wealth and power, re-
gardless of personal pecuniary in
terest, as well as men in the hum
bier walks of life, are ever being
thus impressed and thus affected
by the truth which l have tried to
explain. A notable example in
point is that of Mr.. Joseph Fels
Of England, the Fels-Naptha soap
man, a name known to every house.
wife. He recently pledged $780,
coo for the advancement of the
Henry George cause in England
and in America. And this ia but
a portion of the benefactions along
the same line which he has made
and contemplates making. But
better than that, he is devoting to
the cause the energies of life
still full Of strength and vigor. He
might, a. many in his situation do,
steel his heart to the needless pow
erty on every hand and the suffer.
ing and sin which flow from it,
give the remnant Of his years to
the piling up Of more wealth, and
then lie down and die with little
narrow soul never broadened and
made great by earnest love for
fellow-men. He might try to drive
away ennui with golf, with listless
globe-trotting journeys, or rounds
Of aimless social designations or
childish displays OF destinations
wealth. No, he is playing nobler
game, and far more interesting
one. The appeal Of the helpless,
the miserably poor, the child wear
ing its life away amid the clang Of
looms or in the dungeon darkness
Of the mine, has reached his ears.
Life has greater interests 10 him
and deeper happiness and deeper
joy than the pursuit Of selfish ends
and pleasures can ever bring. And
such lives, such CONSIDERATIONS Of
wealth and energy to humnnity's
cause, will become less and lees

VERDICT CUT DOWN.
Considerably Less Sum Awarded Sher.
man Than Amount of Suit.

In the supreme court Thursday af-
ternoon the jury brought in verdict
of S760.94 for William f. Sherman, the
mill expert. who sued the city of Au-
gusta for services alleged to have been
rendered in the tax case OF city of Al
gusta VS.. Edwards Manufacturing Co.
The amount of the verdict was a ut
down of $297.10 from the claim of Mr..
Sherman, and his counsel, which was
for the amount of $105S.04. The con-
tention of the city was that the amount
asked by Mr.. Sherman was eXorbitant,
and the jury appears to have sided
with the city in pairing the claim down
to the extent of nearly $500
The remainder of the day was taken
up with the case of William Hume VS..
Fort Halifax Power Co, which is still
on trial. This is a personal damage
suit in which the ad damnum is placed
at 100000. Hume. was employed by
the company in digging upon q bank,
which caved in upon him, breaking his
ribs. injuring one leg so that 1t had
to be amputated and inflicting other
injuries. Hume contends that the ac-
cident happened wholly through the
negligence of the company, while the
company alleges that he was guilty Of
contributory negligence. Harold Cook
