Toned by a London tailor.
A romance which exemplihes the
axiom Of true loves never running
smooth concerns Julia Meador, who
became the bride of Thomas Waller
Palmer, of Miami, Fla, last evening.
Young Palmer is a famous athlete,
and among the silver things" with
which the couple will begin house
keeping are 80 handsome cups, won
by him in golf and tennis tourna-
ments.
Five years ago, on his way to one
of these tournaments, he stopped over
in Atlanta to see his brother. A
Jacksonville girl had given him let
ter of introduction to Miss Meador,
but the young athlete was not in
terested in girls, 80 he didn't call.
But Fate took a hand in the game,
and as he sat on the porch with his
brother on the last afternoon of his
stay, pretty, dark eyed girl in a yell
low frock passed by and spoke to
his brother.
Interested in her looks, young Pal
mer asked for an introduction and
found she was the girl to whom his
letter was addressed. He waived that
tennis tournament and spent the time
here, their engagement being agreed
upon three weeks later But his
bride-t be was too young to marry
at the time, according to her moth
, er's judgment, and the enga cement
was not sanctioned by Miss Meador 5
parents.
She made ner debut later and has
had a very happy social career Both
young people had almost forgotten
their youthful romance, when last
spring young Palmer happened to be
passing through Atlanta on his way
to Tennessee again - this time to
visit a charming girl instead of a
tennis tournament. A whim or a
chance thought prompted a telephone
message to his former friend-a call
was made, and the romance began
again. to be carried to a happier ter
mination.

G PEAK1NG of dancing, l have
heard recently that James H.
Nunnally. long noted as one Of
the best dancers ever seen on the
floor of the Piedmont Driving Club,
has taken care that his prestige shall
not be threatened this winter by taxi
ing several very expensive dancing
lessons on a recent stay in New York.
They tell me that each of these
lessons cost Mr.. Nunnally $25, and,
as he was an apt pupil, he soon mas
tered the latest INNOVATIONS brought
ure of one afternoon this spring when
] sat and watched the president of
the Driving Club dancing with a
number of charming young women,
married and single, who were pres
ent for an afternoon 1.-THE dansant"
He was easily the best dancer
among the men on the floor and his
turkey trot and tango had variations
and little steps of his own invention
which distinguished them from the
dancing of the others.
You know. Of course, that Yin"
Nunnally is always as busy as a debu-
tante at the winters affairs and is
accorded quite as much attention
from the fair sex as the prettiest of
the buds" is given by the men pres
ent. l foresee that his popularity
will not diminish this season.
THE young men of a certain set
are eli very much chagrined
over the beginning of a romance
in which one of their number is con-
cerned. Not that they envy his good
fortune, but they think that his start
wasn't fair to the rest of EN-. The
girl in question Is a "bud''-a very
pretty and charming girl, not yet in
the debutante set-and she is, more
over. very wealthy.
At social gathering recently. this
young girl was present with her faith

class. These young men were also
among those present" all, of course,
hoping for an Introduction to the
near debutante. For some reason, not
yet understood by the group OF
friends. one of their number was sin
gled out by the father of the bud,
and introduced to her-none of the
others getting a look-in."
The fortunate man was deeply
smitten and has followed up his ad-
vantages as well as he can-in fact,
he seems to be getting on fine with all
the family. In the meantime, the
other boys are trying to get an in
troduction-and haven't succeeded.
Their friend, who knows the girl
will not introduce a single man Of
them-he's wise in his generation
and her father has shown no further
inclination to enlarge her acquaint-
ance among the young men of the
city. So now, the society editors.
whose business it is TO announce en-
gagements, are becoming interested
in the monopoly.
UST now, the talk which can be
spared from clothes and hats a
la mode is devoted to the au-
tumn brides. We aren't to have as
many this year as in former years,
but the girls who are to be married
make up in social prominence and
popularity the lack IF numbers.

For the Husbands

One of the most pleasant social
afiairs that has taken place in Ordway
for some time was the entertainment
given by the ladies of the Thursday
Afternoon club Thursday evening of
last week at the beautiful residence Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest +. Greene on
Otero avenue. 1t has long been the
custom OF the members of this club to
hold social meeting at the close of
each club year and invite their hus.
bands and few family friends to join
them.
AT this meeting Mrs. Greene was as
sisted in entertaining by Mrs. WIN.
Broadbent, Mrs. T. Ed Downey and
Miss Geneva Fountain.
The evening was spent in entertain
ment that was both instructive and
amusing and was interspersed by vocal
and instrumental mu.ic by members
Of the club and guests.
Late in the evening ice cream and
cake we're served by the members Of the
club and the husbands, especially,
were not slow in slowing away the good
things.
Most of the club members were pres
eut and it is hardly necessary to say
that their husbands were, as usual,
only too anxious to take in this annual
event and more than willing to forgive
their wives for any seeming neglect
during the past year when full rations
we're not in order for supper on club
days. Here's to the ladies-God
bless 'em-but how We wish these
annual feasts could be made semi
weekly, ferninstance.

The new rule makes it possible for

Real Estate in
1899 And Now
Interesting Letter Which Shows
Tremendous Increase in
Ordway Real Estate

The progress of Ordway and the ad
vance in real estate values during the
past ten OF twelve years is exemplified
by com parison of prices and condi'
tions then and now. letter handed
to us this week by a prominent bust.
ners man, printed below. is concrete
evidence that we are growing and grow
ing fast. The letter was dated Jan
uary 1889, and offered for sale, to-
gether with tbirty-fve others, the lot
on which the Dunlap building now
stands and in which the New Era
makes its home, for $3.50. The present
valuation of these lots is around $500
each. One of the conditions Oh
which the sale was to be made, as
shown in the letter, was that the prop
erty carried with it a water right in
the $50 called Colorado Canal" an
Indication that there was nothing
much here at the time but the real
estate.
Aud the end is not yet. Increases
during the next ten years are, accord
ing to present Indications, to be just
as great in real estate and business
property, and comparison of these
prices by the prospective investor will
at least be interesting.
Dear Sir: The followingi the list Of
lots. There is water right with them
from the so-called "Colorsdo Canal" !"
There are SO lots all told. The price
for short time only is $500 for them

Olney Springs
On the Big End
Pitchers Take Things Easy and
Let Batters and Fielders
Work in the Hot Sun

Ball teams fro m Olney Springs and
Ordway met on the local diamond last
Sunday afternoon and INDUCED in a
swat and run fest that kept the SCORE
keeper busy, worked the "pig tails"
in the field nearly to death, made the
managers wonder who to put in next,
and forced the batters to spend their
time on the bench mopp;ug perspira
tion instead Of devoting the time to
rest.
The final score was l3 10 10, with
Ordway on the short end of the count.
Three different pitchers were used
by the locals aud two receivers were
sent in, in an attempt to stem the tide
Of hits, which extended all the way
from third base to Lake Meredith.
Some of the balls have not been recov-
cred yet, but searching parties have
been out regularly all week.
As the score indicates the local boys
we're not q bit backward at the bat
themselves. Finding the twisters
from the olney Springs beavers, they
proceeded to get brand Of rsvenge
especially appealing to the fans if
noise is thing to judge by, and by
this hitting came in under the wire
only three laps behind.
1t was hot day, and the game of
running after the ball" was tiresome,
but the members of the two teams
performed !aliantly and gave the
spectators their moneys worth.
Only . fair sized crowd witnessed
the slaughter.

Gas Plant for
Supplying Many
Towns Proposed
Promoters Seeking Franchises
and Contracts for Making
and Piping Gas to
Several Towns

There is considerable discussion
now, pro and con, about the establish
n ent of plant at La Junta, for the
manufacture OF gas to supply La Juuta,
Swink, Rocky Ford aud towus, ON the
south side Of the river. The poposi
tion proposed by the promoters, in re-
turn for twenty year franchise and
other valuable privileges, is to estah-
lish the plant, luy pipe lines and start
the manufacture of gas 'before the
snow flies. 1t is proposed by them
to fix the maximum price for the
cooking and Illuminating gas at S1.50
per thousand cubic feet. 1t is con-
tended that this ia the price charged
for the service in other Colorado towns,
where raw material is scare and costs
real money to get, and that similar
conditions exist in La Junta.
Granting the convenience and gen.
eral desirabiity of gas for cooking
purposes, it might be we'll for La
Juutaites, before signing an agreement
with the promoters, to go little out
side of Colorado for figures on the
price charged for manufactured gas.
Birmingham, Ala, famed far and wide
for its iron and coal deposits, manu-
factures gas and sells it to consumers
at Sl.50 per Thousand cubic feet aud
of cour,e the number of consumers is
large. Admission. Ala, further re-
moved from coal crnters, and town
of 1000 people. sells it at the same
price. Americus ia, town OF g.
600 people, and naturally fewer GUS
toner. for gas, more than 200 miles
removed from the closest coal center,
sells gas for ST. per thousand cubic
feet. Comparative figures which are
interesting:
The freight rates on raw material in
this country may be high, but it
strikes US that the proposed charge of
81. so per thousand cubic feet is ex-
horbitant, iu view of the close prox-
unity of La Junta to the Trinidad coal
ields, aud compared with similar con-
ditions as to population, ETC., exist
ing there. ....
But the town and that section of
the state could do worse than make
some agreement with the promoters
whereby manufactured gas viii be dis
tributed. There is no argument
against it's use and convenience, and
it would mean a step that would make
those towns doubly attractive as
place to live. There is no doubt that
the housewives favor it-and gas real
ly is a God send to them. The differ
ence between preparing meal on gas
stove and the wood or coal range Is it
seems to us, similar to thinning beets
in dry ground in the hot sun and do
ing the same work in the shade where
the ground is damp and cool. In the
one there is no surplus heat and in the
other it is all heat. To the wife or
mother who prepares three meals a
day, year in and year out, cooking gas
is worth thousand times its cost, if
man will only stop to consider con-
venieHces for her.
Let the gas plant be established.
with an agreement whereby the pro-
N oters may have reasonable return
on their Investments, and let 1t be
] large enough to extend over the entiIe
valley. We would like to see the
pine line come to Ordway.
