c. T. England was organizing
a 100000 company to properly
work his group of four mines near
the Stanley group.
Richard Fl. Pearce and Miss
Lillian Busch had been married on
New Years day. Miss Gertie
Harris and Harry Suthman were
the attendants.
Mrs George E. Palmer. formerly
of this city, had died of paralysis
of the brain in Kansas City. and
had been buried in Denver from
the home of O W. Lowell.
Robert Baehr, the local boy who
had been connected with the Con
tinental Oil company, had been
rewarded for his merit by his ap-
pointment as local manager for the
district, comprising Clear Greek
and Gilpin counties. The new
position came as New Years
gift to Mr.. Baehr.
H. A. Elliott had met with an
unfortunate accident to one of his
eyes resulting from the bursting
of a bottle in the bottling works.
He believed that the flying glass
would not impair the sight. but he
had been obliged to submit it for
the treatment of an occulist in
Denver.
Attorney E. NJ. Sabin had as
sociated with him Fred L. COLON
on New Years dav. as compliment
deserved by the junior member and
the name of the law firm became
Sabin and COLON. Mr. Sabin had
already established himself with
years of practice, while Mr.. Collom,
practically a home product, was
proving himself man of ability
and sterling worth.
N. c. Merrill, representing the
Big Five association, felt That this
would be an ideal place for a great
kindergarten and physical culture
school where little folks of lower
attitudes might escape summer
maladies He sought accommodation
for all the little children of the
city and for those who might come
to the resort with their parents.
Instructors would teach grace,
health, swimming, music, and
people the country over would be
glad for place for their little ones
to grow strong.

FIFTEEN YEARS AGO
Items of Interest Taken from the Siftings OF This
Corresponding Week Fifteen Years Ago

Gus Marquette and Miss Daisy
Miller bad been married in Denver.
Siftings attributed the city's
light loss by fire to the very general
use of electricity for lighting.
Siftings had got out birthday
edition of twenty pages, and 1900
copies had been required to fill the
demands.
1t was reported that r. d. Blair.
former publisher of the Gazette,
and Fred l.. Miner, well known
mining writer were to purchase
the Georgetown Herald.
The city had prospered greatly
during the old year, but Siftings
complained that it was not con-
dition brought on by the display
of any particular desire for i'm
provement Oh the part of the people.
The Chamber of Commerce had
lain dormant. Colorado Springs
capital had sought an outlet in the
district, but not because the dis
trict had invited it. The paper
claimed the credit for the sale of
the mineral springs, but in every
move they had made for the better
ment of things they had met with
opposition. Even when the paper
encouraged the building of suffi-
cient number of cottages, there
were those who decried the idea
and said that it would mean a re-
duction in rents. But the houses
were built. The paper believed in
the construction of cottages suit
able for tourists, but had not vet
seen that accomplished. They
believed in the need of kinder
garten. They felt that new opera
house would add greatly to our
pleasure. A city hall was also
suggested. They believed that
Idaho Springs should reach the
the position in the state to which
it was entitled and believed that if
the old commercial body would not
act. new one should be chosen.
Siftings had no friends to pet, no
enemies to punish, but expected to
get out better paper than ever,
with no hope of pleasing everyone
but asked that all lay down their
differences and see what year of
honest effort could accomplish for
the advancement of the city-a
better. bigger Idaho Springs.

BIG LEAGUE REVIEW
FOR. THE PAST week

NEW YORK. Aug. 1s.-The pennant
races in the National and American lea
cues continued with only little change
the last week. In the National New
York slipped back slightly while Phil
adelphia, In second place. gained some
what. In the American the week ended
with Chicago and Boston in tho same
positions as at the beginning. each team
having won four games and lost two.
Today the White SoI increased Its lead
by defeating Philadelphia. "A TO 6, while
the Red Sox were losing to Cleveland I
TO 2.
New York had the poorest week in the
National League since the weeking end
ing July 2s. The Giants had a heavy
schedule. but the best they could do
was to break even in ton games Three
victories and three defeats was their
share in the series with Brooklyn and
the four games with St. Louis also end
ed in an even division Today they
were shut out by Cincinnati, to O.
McGraws mon. although batting we'll
had erratic pitching and their total of
lt erors was the highest for any week
Of the present season, but they also
played moro games.
Philadelphia won six and lost two by
winning ono out Of three from Boston
and FIVE games straight from Pitts
burgh. Cincinnati held third place again
for one day and then gave way to st.
Louis. Chicago continued It's good play
and Cincinnati. st. Louis and Chicago
now are punched closely, nine points
separating those three western conten-
ders.
The play Of the Chicago Americans
improved over the previous week. Row
lands men hit harder and their scoring
power was improved. They won three
out OF four from Cleveland and then
broke even in the first two games of
the Philadelphia series. Three Of tho
six games went into extra innings and
two Of them resulted VIGOROUSLY for
the White sox. who held onto first place
until Friday when they lost to Philadel-
phia in twelve innings, Boston taking
first place. Saturday the White Sox
came back to the lead by beating Ih,L
adelphia while Boston was breaking
even in a double header with Cleve-
land. Early in the week Boston had
taken two out of three from Philadel-
phia and on Friday had beaten Cleve-
land in the frst game Of the series.
Cleveland slumped. winning only two
out Of seven but Detroit could only win
two out Of six and did not gain on the
Indians. New York broke its losing
streak at seven straight by defeating
st. Louis. Washington gained on the
others by coming through the week
without defeat. winning Ave games.
Detroit succeeded today In breaking the
Senator'S winning streak.
Although the National League teams
played in moro games than the AmcrI-
can octette. the total runs scored in
both circuits was the Same, las! The

made more erors.
