The rally of OF the four Sunday
Schools of the city that was held
in the city last Sunday was a
grand success, 1t was a temper
ance rally and was the best that
has been held in the city. The
attendanc was large and the in
terest was keen. 1t was held i'll
the Presbyterian church in the
forenoon. Addresses were made
by each of the Superintendents
and others. Rev. Traverse of
Denver delivered very practical
address. 1t was just such plain
talk as one delights to hear and
which will be remembered. There
was no ranting, tault-6nding or
scolding but convincing presenta
ton of valuable facts that was
bath uplifting and instructing.
The program consisting of speak
ing and mnsic was fine and was
appreciated by the audience while
the coupling of patriotism and
temperance through the saluting
of the flag aud the military drill
by the young boys and girls un-
der the direction of Adjutant Dev-
Ian added very materially to the
morning services.

no husband could be more considerate.
attentive and affectionate. 1t is un-
necessary to assure Mr. Cassatt that
he has The most profound and earnest
sympathy of this community. 1t speaks
for itself by acton and words. She
was 55 years old.
Aside from their acquaintan-
ces in Idaho Springs, Mr., and
Mrs. Cassatt numbered many
friends in Georgetown and other
parts of the county who join in
extending sympathy to the be-
reaved husband thus left alone
when most in need of the wo-
manly sympathy which had up-
held him along the years passed.
Together they had struggled for
successful partnership in do
mestic lines, and together they
had watched at the bedside of
their children taken suddenly
from them in Georgetown by
scarlet fever along in the sos.
This was a crushing blow, but
simply served to further cement
the family ties. The interdepen-
dence and close union of the Cas-
satt home was generally remark
ed, the signal resulting in the
greater endeavor to extend this
kindly influence among their
friends and neighbors. This
may be said to be the logical in
fluence of the heartbreaks of life

the schools on picnic. On Sat
urday May %, he will arrange
tor the third and fourth grade
with their teachers to go the sum-
init of Blue Hill on a regular pic
tic and no more attractive, de-
slrable and scenic place could be
selected. This is situated about
three miles above Empire on Clear
Creek and the entire ride is most
picturesque one. The third and
fourth grades are selected for
this outing at this time for the
reason the pupils of the former
are large enough TO be cared for
easily while the fourth grade is
small in numbers and they can be
taken in the available automo-
blles without overcrowdlng them.
The following have very kindly
consented to use their machines

turn in the afternoon when 1t
suits the drivers or owners Of
the machines. 1t is requested
that the children take their own
lunches and prepare them i'll as
little packages as possible SO as
to economic room in the ma
chimes. The teachers of these
grades are the Misses Margaret
Bond, Margaret Mclean and
Euphrasia ellison, and who will
be in attendance. 1t is probable
that those furnishing machines
may take their wives or some one
who will assist i'll making the
trip more pleasurable for the
children. This act on the part
of Mr.. Moscript is one that should
be highly appreciated by parents
and children and he is in hopes
ere long to show the same kind
ness to other grades. There will
be ninety six school Children and
three school teachers in the crowd
if all go. 1t is hot ed they will be
favored with a pleasant day so
that with the attention they will
