LEO SCHNEIDER is
CLAIMED BY DEATH

George Leo Schneider, the 17-year-
ocd som of Prof. and Mrs. G. w. Sch-
neider, died at their home in Golden
at Ills last Wednesday afternoon,
Nov. 9th.
He was taken sick and confined to
his bed some weeks ago following u
slight injury received in football prac-
tice, and all efforts were made to pre-
vent what promised to be a severe
case of blood poisoning, resulting
from the injected scratch.
Shortly after, in his weakened com
dition, typhoid pneumonia set in,
which was the direct cause of his
death.
Young Schneider was born in Denr
yer, April 26, 1895, and although only
II years of age, was member OF
the Sophomore class 1915, at the
Colorado School of Mines and stood
among the highest in the class.
His preparatory school work was
accomplished at the Sherman school
in Denver through the grammar
grades, after which he spent three
years in the College of Sacred Heart
! in Denver.
Young Schneider had brilliant
mind and WAS progressing in his pre-
paration for what seemed bright
future with wonderful success when
the call came that summoned him
to the next lie.
The young man was of powerful
build fer his age and took am active
part in all branches of athletics
and his efforts were always reward
ed by gaining place on the first
team.
He Was member Of the Engin-
eering Corps of the National Guards,
Which was recently organized in Col
den.
1t is pretty hard to think that the
broken hearted parents of this boy
could have much to be thankful for
on November 2S, but the will of God
is always for the best, although al
times it seems to us a fearful trial.
Leo was great source of pleas
ure to all his family and especially
to his aged and blind grandfather,
who depended upon him each day to
read the papers to him and comfort
him in other ways.
He was loved by his fellow stud
ents and will be greatly missed by
all who knew him.
Services were held Sunday at 900
o'clock at st. Jcserh's church, Golden.
Interment took place at Mt. Olivet
cemetery.-Golden Globe.

THE INTERNATIONAL "sEN HuR'

Spectaculsr magnificence, dramatic
splenior and religious ecstacy are
the most notable colcomi.ants of
Klaw and Erlanger's International
production of "Ben-Hur," which VIII
| be the offering at the Broadway Thea
tire, Denver, the week of December
9 to IA. During the tEa,teen years
which have passed since the original
presentation of this noble drama, its
owners have not only kept it up to
its original grandeur, but have elabor-
ated and developed the possibilities
of the production each season, unll
today it stands unrivaled in beauty
and splendor Of establishment, unsur-
passed in dramatic significance and
power. 1t was the last word" OF
the stage craft of the nineteenth cen
tury and into the new age it brought
blgness and perfection which will
remain the standard fer decades to
come.
Dealing with the earth Life of Jesus,
| 'Ben-Hur" shows the world at it's
most wonderful point in magnif.cence
AMI wealth, for Rome ruled the world
and Caesar Augustus was Emperor
OF the meht.est realm the earth had
known. Into thi5 uime of display
and pomp came the low1y Nazarene,
the Christos for whom the nation
had longed, and IT, is this personality
of Jesus that, peameadrg the fabric
of the Wallace Young drama, makes
it sermon as well as drama OF
tremendous significance. The rever-
ence with which the imminence of
Christ is indicated has made Ben
Hur" a religious pageant, white the
sweep of the story of BenrHur and
Messala, Esther and Iras, carries aai-
diences off their feet, the elimination
OF the dramatic plot being. the char
lot race, wherein BenrHur conquers
and degrades his enemy.
Nothing more realistic than this
scene in the arena of the Circus OF
Antioch with Ben-Hur and MesSala
contesting for supremacy has ever
been imagined by dr'amatist or exc
Gated by a producer. The race en-
thralls because on it's outcome de-
pends Ife. love, honor, riches to the
victor, and when Ben-Hur receives
the victor's crcwm of Wild olive, au-
diences applaud with the greatest en-
ces applaud with the greatest en-
thusiasm.
BEN Hur" matinees are announced
for Thursday and Saturday. The
prices for all the performances
are soc to $500. Mail orders win re-
ceive prompt attention.

whether the Senate will confirm hds
appointees, or hold their nomination,
it is Impossible even to guess
5. The custom has been tor the
patronage of any particular state to
be distributed through the Senators
and Representatives thereof who are
Of the same political persuasion as
the administration. if any such there
be. and if none such, then through
the national committeeman or some
dependable friend or friends. Under
this arrangement Representatives are
depended upon to recommend post
masters in their own districts white
Senators are depended upon to rec
ommend postmasters in Congressional
districts not represented by Congress
man of the same political faith as the
President. Senators are also depen-
ded upon to recommend for marshall
ships and offices of that kind, includ-
ing departmental positions and places
i'm the consular and diplomatic service
and in fact all offices not local. OF
course, as a rule, the Senators con-
suit with Representative in these
matters, all trying to do the most
possible for their constituents.
6. What scheme for selecting post
masters, ETC., President Wilson and
his Cabinet may adopt is wholly con-
jectural. Some advocate one plan and
some another. Consequently it might
be best for those intending to be ap-
pllcants to let matters rest until the
situation clears UP somewhat; but
where one or more aspirants for
particular place start in to secure
signers to petitions, recommendations
etc., it might be wise for all asp.rants
to do so too.
1t has been figured out by some of
the newspaper correspondents in the
national capital that MIR. Wilson, when
he enters the White House on March
a. will find that he has the power to
fill directly 10,S39 government posi-
tions. They declare the appointive
places requiring confirmation are di-
vided as follows:
Departments-Sta AL; Treasury
1856; War (excluddng army g.; JUS
tice, 3S3; Postoffice, 1858; Navy lex
Guiding officers) IL; Interior, 273;
Agriculture, g.; Commerce and Labor
(excluding census) 2S; Civil Service
Commission, 4; Government Printing
Offica 1. Jptarctato COmmarca Com
mission Z; and Library of Congress, l..
The places not requiring comfirma-
ton by the Senate are thus divided:
Departments-State, "a; Justices,
$40; Interior, "A; Commerce, s; Civil
Service Commiss;on,1.

les and applications by the hundred.
came on to Washington at an
EARLIER date than / intended, to try to
discover the prospects of what will
be done in a general way, but have
found out nothing valuable or tangi-
bic. There is much guessing and
newspaper talk; but that is all. All
Things concerning the distribution of
patronage are up i'm the air, SO to
speak. President-elect Wilson, who is
as is generally known, given any in
formation of his intention on this
subject. Nothing definite will be
known until he speaks.
The only things certain at this
writing are:
l. President Taft has by executive
order placed all the 4th class post
masters under the Civil Service, that
is all postmasters drawing less than
81 900 per anmlm. This means that
the present 4th class postmasters will
hold for life, or during good behavior
unless President Wilson revokes Pres
ident Taft's order. Whether he will
revoke it nobody knows.
2. Most of the places worth having
except these which have to be con-
firmed by the Senate have been for
some time under civil service. This
greatly lessons the number of posi-
tions formerly available.
3. For twenty years the custom
has been for federal Officials appoin-
ted for four years, such as postmas-
ters, U. S. Marshals, ETC., to serve
out their terms unless they took part
in politics during their terms. Wheth-
er this custom viii be continued it is
impossible to say.
!. President Taft is said to have
declared his intention to fill all va.
cancies as soon as they occur. Bmt

hood: in 1t she is bound for all time. To

effect of this legal condition upon their
