NOTES.

Toney passed six men but only one
of which counted.
Scott had three chances on short
which were handled perfectly.
The two doubles in the first and seond
innings kept the score from being lar

Again the Hustlers outhit the Bour-
bonites by one point but none of the
safeties counted.
In five innings out of nine only three

too much of an innovation in the mon
archy. The members of the English
artstocracy are great sticklers for the
usual and accepted thing. Also If the
King is decent, the court will have
to go in when the curfew whistle
blows-which will be inconvenient.
And yet the English aristocracy prob
ably is the most respectable aristo-
cracy in the world Because, on the
whole. it is busy one.
Many of the lords and dukes and
earls do something for living. The
loafer is not popular in the world as
he was in the last century and the
King Of England is one of the hardest
worked men in the country. He

OBSERVATIONS IN EUROPE
BY WILLIAM ALLAN WHITE

Among the other changes that have
come in this generation to England
is the change In the monarchy. The
King is radical. He confers with
John Burns. the labor leader, who II
now in the cabinet. He labors all
sorts OF radical ideas Also. as has
been indicated in another letter. he
believes the monarchy will run out
in another generation or two.

is a moral man, which is a new
thing in monarchs. He Is a man Of
family. who is in at 8 O'Clock ev-
cry night and If he is ever crowned
King of England he will be an inno-
vation in Kings.
Most of his ancestors have been la

in England have been like the poor
always with us. And the illegitimate
children OF kings of England have a
place in the aristocracy OF the land.
But the next king. II he is the present

In reference to your article of Mon

the following statement. which is my
side of the case:
AT the Business Mems banquet Civ
en- at the Strathmore hotel some
months ago. when II was finally de-
cidedto build the Royal Gorge Road
Mr.. Sidebottom promised the men as
sembled that the road would be
started at once and would undoubted-
ly be completed in three months. l
then made remark TO a number OF
business men who were sitting near
me that he was promising something
1t was impossible TO do. /; was six
weeks after that time before the camp
was ready to take care OF The men

sioners called upon me and made a
request for men 10 build this road

fast as / could. and that promise /
have kept asked them how soon
they expected to complete the road
sArA la aA
hem then and there that IL would be
impossible to have the road finished
before the late summer or fall.
After the completion of the work 1t
Brewster Hill, between Canon City
and Florence last summer. l offered
your county commissioners a suffi-
cient number of men TO build the
Royal Gorge road or the Current
Greek road. and they promised to
take them. At that time / had sutfi-
client men to put another camp in
operation. and ! kept two overseers
on n salary ut state expenses for a
period OF six weeks. and as the coun-
ty commissioners failed to make ar
ranRements to do the work I allow
ed the men and the overseers to go
into Pueblo county TO do some work
there. and the Pueblo county commits
sioners have maintained a camp since
that time. Owing to the bad weather
they were forced 10 maintain the men
In idleness great part OF the win

so many men left camp on parole
