from their tour of the world, during
which they have saved tens of thou
sands of souls, j. Wilbur Chapman,
the evangelist. and Charles NJ. Alex

when the Rev. Chapman will deliver
a soul-stirring address, and Mr.. Alex
ander will strive to soothe the savage
Pittsburg breast with pious songs.

Pittsburg, the evangelists will have
a try at New York, Chicago. Boston,

FRANCHISE
IN STATE
A Most Important Decision is Handed
Down by the State Supreme Court
Affecting All Towns and Cit
les Throughout Colorado.
DECIDES A VERY NOTED CASE
Especial to The Sentinel. ]

Denver, Dec. 6.-Today. in a most
important decision, the Colorado state
supreme court held that no perpetual
franchise can be granted to any cor
poration or individual in any city or
town in the state of Colorado.
The decision was handed down in
the long-pending and hard-fought
case of the city OF Leadville against
the Leadville Sewer Company.
The court holds that the legisla-
ture has no right to- grant such a
franchise, and, therefore, as the city
and town are under the supervision
of the legislature, neither the city or
town can grant a perpetual franchise.
The court holds that such fran
chise is in direct violation of the bill
of rights.
