opening number Of the program. Rev.

sion OF the topic, THE Power of the

the power exercised by the press be-
cause of its wide circulation, reaching
every grade Of man, and OF the great
amount of money that is every day ex-
pended in giving to the reading public.
news Of the land. He spoke of the fact
that we live at the Jingle end of our
nerves and are constantly expecting
some sensation, and It is for this rea-
son that the papers are compelled to
publish news of every variety. the sen.
sational especially appealing to the
general public. The sensational is de.
manded. and the press gives what the
public wants. He spoke, too. of the
necessity Of careful choosing Of liter.
ature for the young. Because of tbs
great bulk Of literature now on the
market. Il is often difficult 10 decide
just what is good reading. and Rev
Mr.. Newland advised that the choosing
he governed by those who are compe
tent to Judge. The talk was most in

S. P. |. Surprised.

On last Thursday evening the
young folks of the S. P. |. club,
nonchalant and youthful, started
via the Golden tramway, to the
home Of O. North Evans, in quest
Of surprising his cousin, Philip
Tucker, who has lately been max
ing his home with this family.
The surprisers, however, were
those on whom the surprise fell,
for their honored victim had fled
to Boulder the previous morning.
Mr.. Evans had been kept in ig-
norance of the tactics of the in
truders, which relieved their dis
appointment and a delightful
evening was spent. The girls
had come provided with a dainty
lunch which, with the candy the
boys did not forget to bring,
brought a climax to the evenings
festivities. Then to crown the
evening a success, Messrs. John
and William Bennett, brothers of
Mrs. Evans, took the party for a
beautiful moonlight drive to their
homes.
A interesting number on the
program was the debate: Re-
solved that old maids live a hap
pier life than. bachelors. The
girls were very positive and faced
their batchelor opponents courag
eously with the exception of Mes
danes Evans and Cagley, who
sympathized with neither the old
maids nor the bachelors; but the
judges declared the bachelors
victors.

Produces Coal from Gar
bage.

Denver is to have a new indus
try, if the plans of Alphonse
King Of Ottowa, Canada, are car
ried out. He is in conference
with the chamber of commerce,
relative to organizing a SO, 000-
600 company for the purpose of
producing coal from garbage and
refuse, an invention he claims to
be the father of. His idea is to
install two plants, each with a ca
pacity of so tons a day.
King says his coal has been
given a two weeks tryout at a To-
cal hotel. He claims that he can
manufacture coal out of any kind
of garbage or refuse, using so
per cent water and 10 per cent
chemicals as a binding force.
With this process he says he
can manufacture hard, soft or
charcoal. In every instance King
claims he can put the product on
the market to retail at least 81
per ton less than it does now.
The chemicals used by King
are a secret, but he explains his
manner of using garbage and re-
fuse in the following language:
Natural coal is composed of
vegetable matter which has been
decaying for one thousand years
or more beneath the surface of
the earth. Why wait a thousand
years for nature to do what can
be done in 81 hours"

special report Of Representative
Palmer, Dem J Of Pennsylvania,
which led the Democrats to purge
the house payroll, saving $1S2,- :
600 in salaries, was made public,
revealing record breaking sine

A thirteen year old girl, daugh-
ter of the chief doorkeeper, was
found to be drawing $1,000 a year
under the title of clerk to the
doorkeeper. -
Thirty-eight extra policemen,
authorized when, during theSpan-
ish-American war someone said
there was plot to dynamite the
capitol, were still on the payroll,
costing annually $4,000.
Two telegraph operators, draw
ing $1400 each, assigned to a wire
long ago discontinued, were still
on the rolls.
Six thousand dollars was saved
by abolishing the salaries of en-
ployees of the clerks document
room. The room was abolished
sixteen years ago.
Almost an equal sum was saved
by stopping the pay of employees

library having been removed
many years ago from the capitol.

Griffith May
Lose Job With
Cincinnati Team
Manager of Reds Will be Given
Until July | to Make
Good

Cincinnati. June 13-There has been
a world of gossip going on in and out
of Cincinnati for the past several
weeks regarding Manager Clark Crit
fifth of the Reds and his remaining at
the helm of the Cincinnati club. Be-
fore he came to Cincinnati three sea-
sons ago Griffith was the manager of
the New York Highlanders and before
that he was the manager of the White
Sox in Chicago. He had perhaps as
brilliant career as pitcher as any
man whoever threw balls and strikes.
Since he has been in the managerial
end of the game he has won just one
pennant, that with the White Sox, and
came so close to it with the New York
Highlanders that there was a lot of
kicking because he lost the pennant in
the last game.
In Cincinnati Griffith hasn't had a
successful season during his stay here.
He finished in the first division year
before last and then led the second
brigade, trailing the dust made by
the Phillies. This year he has what
almost anybody would call the best
team in either league. Manager Nc
Graw recently said that with the tall
ent on the local club he could go in
to the race and win the pennant with
ease. Yet Griff hasn't been winning
consistently all season. There have
been many games, played on the road
and at home, which greatly resembled
Sundays contest where the Reds
couldn't find the opposing pitcher for
anything that looked like a chance to
win.
To sum it up. Griffith is about to
lose his job unless the team gets to
working better. Some say he has I'M
til July 1 to make a showing, and
that unless he comes to the front by
that time Captain Mitchell will be
placed in charge until his successor is
appointed. He was recently called be-
fore the Board of Directors who heard
his story Later they also called in
members of the team, asked them if
there was any friction in the club, and
on being told there was none, they
voted to withhold any judgment as to
Griffith until later
