ment was made yesterday that Harvey

study music.
His deposition from the priesthood
at his own request. in one of the chap
els of the Cathedral of st. John the
Divine, on June 80. was announced
by Bishop Manning in a formal notih-
cation to the bishops Of the church.
Since he forsook the Episcopal min
istry. Mr.. Officer. whose researches were
understood to have given him Socialist
leanngs, has devoted his time to prop
agating community musical move
ments, aiding particularly in n"ighbor-
hood choral concerts.
When the priest came to this city last
January. doffed the robes of his office
and announced his intention Of return
ing to a secular life, his brother monks
were greved and pleaded with him to
reconsider. but they were unable TO pre-
vail upon him to change his mind.
Mr.. Officer. before sailing last week
told few friends the time might come
when he would seek reordinatOn. but
that at present he felt ne could not go
so far in ritualism as the other mem =
bers Of the Order of the Holy Cross.
For that reason it did not seem right
for him to remain one of its members.
The Rev Mr.. Officer was known In

DIR. HYATT HoNoRED BY I. 0. o. F
(By Special Correspondent.)

(Dy special COrreSpOndent.)
On Monday evening in response to
invitations sent out by the Rebekahs
some $50 members of the Odd Fellows
and Rebekah lodges partook of one
of the most handsomely appointed
and sumptuous banquets ever served
In the city.
The affair was given in honor Of
their most beloved member, Dr. N. j.
Hyatt. DIR. Hyatt was at the last
meeting of the Colorado State En-
campment and was made Grand Jun
ior Warden of the Grand Encamp-
ment of Colorado, an honor for the
first time bestowed on a member of
the Gunnison lodge.
For some weeks past the banquet
in honor of the brother so honored
by the grand lodge, has been under
way. The ladies of the Rebekah
lodge were in charge of the eats, and
that the committee appointed thor
oughly knew their business was ade-
quately proven when the guests
viewed the beautiful tables at 7:30
Monday evening, on entering the spa
cious Odd Fellow hall, where the
tables were set. The room was taste
fully decorated in the colors of the
lodge and the red and green of the
holiday season.
A three course banquet, consisting
of fruit cocktail, turkey with all the
trimmings, and ice cream and cake,
was enjoyed to the fullest by all pres
ent. After the last course had been
served DIR. E M. Russell as toastmas-
ter, presented in his inimitable man
ner, numbers of speakers who re-
sponded with various toasts in keep
ing with the occasion.
E. G. Palmer, in behalf of the
members, presented DIR. Hyatt with a
beautiful jewel, emblematic of the
order of Odd Fellowship and also of
the Masonry. The Doctor who was
taken completely by surprise, re-
sponded with a very touching talk.
There is perhaps no man in Gunni
son county better known and loved
than DR.. Hyatt, not alone among his
fraternal organizations, but among
all who have the pleasure of knowing
him, and the affair given Monday
night in his honor was a fitting mark
Of the respect and love due him.

FOOLISH WIVES OF HISTORY
"Fatimar

Fatima lived in the seventh CEN
tury, but by all rhyme and reason,
should have lived in the present days,
when she could see her name on bill
boards and all the cigar store win
dows. Fatima was the perfect woman
of her time. Married to a nobleman,
one of the great ruins of Egypt, she
bore three sons whose first names all
started with Ali. Fatima was beauti-
full to look upon and tried during her
time to grab all the best looking
hooters in and about Mecca-which
like Fatima, is celebrated in cigarette
lore.
Fatima was daughter of Moham-
med who wrote a number Of Oriental
spectacles and staged several others
at the Arabian Hippodrome but who
was shocked to death after seeing the
American versions.
Fatima shook her first husband and
started in to win Bluebeard, not that
the noted butcher appealed to her but
she was curious to know what hap
pened to so many women in Bluey's
baliwick.
Fatima was the symbol of feminine
curiosity-in that every time she
heard of any local scandal, she said:
"Tll look into that"
Fatima lived but twenty-six years,
which was long, long time when one
considers the period in which she
thrived-if she did thrive, and the
very fact that she lasted over the
honeymoon period with Bluebeard-
is greatly in her favor.
She was one of the first electricians
of her day, being associated intimate
ly with Aladdin's lamp-and lived to
see her husband LIT up several
times during the darkest spells.

Greenfield, Ind, Dec. 19.-How
many times have you been delighted
in reading Of that quaint creature Of
James Whitcomb Riley, Little Or
phant Annie?"
Annie was real person?
Well, she was. Or is-for she's still
living.
With her husband, daughter and
granddaughter she occupies little
farmhouse near the Hoosier hamlet,
Philadelphia, not far from the poets
home here.
Her name is Mrs. John Wesley Gray,
She hasn't a single Riley book in
her home. She never knew until
short time ago that the great poet
had endeared her to the heart of
every American.
As child Mrs. Gray was Mary AL
ice Smith, left an orphan at an early
age.
Her uncle, unable to care for her,
brought her to the Riley home to
work "for her board an keep"
And she was full of "gobble-uns"
and witch tales, just as the poet de-
scribes her.
Riley originally entitled his poem
Little Orphant Allie" but later
changed it to Annie. He died think
ing "Allie" had died many years be-
fore, though she was living a few
miles from his home.
C. o. Power, lecturer and interpre-
ter of Riley. recently called on Mrs.
Gray and reviewed her early life with
her. He induced her to appear at
some Indiana schools in Riley pro-
grams.

ally made in mining but it is seldom
that miner strikes an animal. How
ever, such was the case in the Eureka
tunnel this week.
Capt Stiles and A. Mcintosh have
a lease and bond on the Eureka on
Gold hill and while the Captain was
doing some retimbering he run onto
brown bear in its nest. The animal
had made comfortable resting place
of pine boughs, leaves, ETC., and when
approached simply growled little.
At this time of the year such brutes
are becoming torpid. However, the
Captain wanted to take no chances so
he gracefully (?) backed out and put
up a number of timbers so bruin
could not escape.
