One hundred women. formerly obese. are
to climb to the apex of Pixies Peak from

mapped out among the novelties for Colo
Fado the coming Spring or Summer.
This idea originated with Denver girl
Miss Marjorie F. Hamilton. who believes
that physical regeneration should manifest
itself in the full exercise of the restored
powers.
Miss Hamilton is known all over the con-

tire world) for her drugless treatment Of fat

ncacy. Thousands OF men and women have
experienced its benefcent effects, and many
of them have fallen in love with the state
from which their redemption has issued.
During many months Miss Hamilton has
been portraying the glories of the Rockies
TO her sisters, and her present plan, which
promises the fruit of fulfllment embodies
some new and interesting features.

PAY FOR CLOCK?
NOTHING DOING!
REPRESENTATIVE TOLD THERE
MUST BE A CLOCK ON THE
COURT HOUSE.

"Hark, bark, the lark No, not the
lark, but the clock on the court house.
lncredulous as it may seem it is prac-
tically assured that the clock Will
run in the future and the boom OF the
giant bell will be again heard through
out the land. When the court house
was constructed contract was let
to a clock concern to furnish a clock
that would run, and when the pres
ent one was installed it was thought
surely it would deliver the goods as
it was something of departure from
| the old-fashioned kind with weights
and springs and had name that
would stagger a prescription clerk.
Well, it run for time four different
ways, that is, the four faces of the
clock would show entirely different
records and after flirting with the
public for time, stopped short,
never to ga again, even as the grand
father clock in song.
An expert" was sent for and, after
Tightening a few screws and loosen
ing others, injecting hypodermic
and administering a dose OF soothing
syrup, proclaimed that it was all
right and no more trouble would oc-
cur. He was sadly mistaken, as he
had scarcely left town before the
works went on a strike and they have
maintained a frigid silence since.
This morning representative OF
the company appeared before the
board of county commissioners and
wanted a settlement for the clock.
Chairman Scivally was somewhat
peevsh and he informed said repre-
sentative that unless they furnished
clock that would run and keep
reasonable time without the attention
of an electrical engineer, two janitors
and other attendants, that there
would be absolutely nothing doing III
the way Of paying for the same. 1t
is believed by those on the inside that
Mr.. Scivally's ultimatum will have the
desired effect and within a few days
one may be able to regulate ones
business by the clock on the court
house.

Nearly every house in the colony

PASSED UP A FORTUNE.

Recent sales in Washington in the
neighborhood where Grover Cleve-
land, in his first administration,
bought for his own use a country
house and estate of 90 acres, show
that If he had retained it (and
Mrs. CleYeland after h!m) the fam
lily would be worth 100000 more
today than it Is. The Washington
country home of the Clevelands was
acquired soon after he was married
and at the time was quite in the
woods, several miles distant from
the center of Washington, and es
pecially from the white house. The
president paid less than $1,000 an
acre for the property, which con-
sisted cf 80 acres, but he spent
about $4,000 in improving the old
house which stood on the grounds
The purchase of the president in
this neighborhood started things.
The real estate spectators took a
cue, and real estate in the neigh
borhood began to hum, and has been
htuming ever since. Washington
declared that if Grover Cleveland
found this a delightful spot to live
in, despite that he could spend his
days in the white house, it, too.
would share his pleasurse, and the
country proving truly delightful
Washington was eager and is still
eager to buy real. estate there. and
magnificent houses have been put
up in this neighborhood, and streets
and roads laid out in it, so that, all
told, Washington has grown up to
this spot, which was a forest in
the days of Cleveland, and he would
not recognize it could he see It
today On account of the Cleveland
house, the neighborhood has been
called Cleveland park, and park
it is.
Grover Cleveland ever hated to
have himself made a source III
speculation, but he could not help
himself when the real estate, in
consequence Of his choice, took a
boom, and he profited after all, con-
siderably; for after he retired as
president the first time he sold the
house and his 30 acres but for the
comfortable sum of $l39,OOO. having
made night 100000 by the invest
ment. Nevertheless, as land in
Cleveland park today is worth a.
least $4,000 an acre, If the Cleve-
lands had retained the estate and
it were in their possession today
the entire Cleveland estate would
be worth additionally s725,OOO. Tho
handsome fortune of 100000 was
passed up when Grover Cleveland
sold out after he had ceased to be
president the first time.
Cleveland was not going to give
spectators another chance when he
again became president. He again
acquired a country house in Wash
ington, hut merely rented it.-Wash-
ington Correspondent, Boston All.
