Through the skillful management of the hostess, Mrs. W. W. Bryant, the guests reported a merry time. The Musical and Jubilee Concert Club gave their second series of entertainments at the First Christian Church last Tuesday night, which gave as much satisfaction as the first Messrs George Reeves and Jack Morrison carried off the honors n the comic quartette. Mr. Lee Morrison's song, "Under The Mistletoe Bow," was exceptionally pleasing. Mr. Albert Stevens' song, "When Thou Art Mine," was beautifully rendered. Mr M James deserves mention in his Baso solo, "Asleep In The Deep." CRIPPLE CREEK, COLO. A. H. Waddy is spending this week in Colorado Springs and Manitou, the guest of his sister Mrs. Weston.

An excellent program was presented and at the close an old-fashioned candy pull was enjoyed. The Honolulu Comedy Company entertained its members at a dancing party, one of the most enjoyable ones of the season. "Winter Sitting in the Lap of Spring" was in evidence here last week. The trees were full leaved, the lawns as green as in summer, yet three inches of snow covered the ground and did great damage to young fruit trees. Game She Didn't Like. A little girl, the daughter of a minister, was up later than usual one night, and for the first time in her life was present at family prayers. During the reading of the Bible she was very quiet, but when her father knelt down to pray she went up to him, and, touching him on the shoulder, said: "Pa, I don't like to play at this game." COLLECTION OF TINY VIOLINS Too Small to Make Music, Yet They Are Not Toys. Something curious in the way of miniature violins is to be seen in a violin-maker's shop on North Ninth street, says the Philadelphia Record, though the collection is of no practical utility, the instruments being far too small to be used in producing music. They are interesting chiefly as showing what patience and skill were brought to their making. There are six of them, each with a bow. The largest violin is not over two and a half inches long in the body, while the smallest hardly exceeds an inch in length. Each of them, however, is perfect, with keys which turn, a bridge, sound holes in the belly, a sound post and a tail piece. Each of them has strings and it is possible to tune them, but the notes they give out are so high in the scale as to be far away from what might properly be termed musical sounds. The bows are as complete as the violins, with real horsehair, a screw to tighten them and all else to be found on the practical bow. The collection is displayed in a little wallcase with a glass front, about a foot square. It came from Germany, where the violins were made, and its owner does not know why the instruments were constructed unless to show what the workman could do. He says it would be more trouble to make one of them than two violins of the ordinary size. Keen Eye for Business. They have an eye for business out in Portland, Ore. As soon as it was known that Senator Mitchell, Representative Hermann and other prominent citizens had been indicted for complicity in land frauds a man who owns an opera house came ground to the representative of the department of justice with a proposition which, he said, had a mint of money in it for the government and himself. He wanted to hold the trials of Mitchell and the others in the opera house, charge an admission of fifty cents a head and divide the receipts with the government. Premature Repentance. The sick man selzed his wife's hand in his feeble grasp. "Oh, William! It's all right. The crisis is past and the doctor says you will recover. "Is he sure of that?" "Perfectly." "Well, say, dear, run and telephone to my partner that I didn't mean what I said yesterday about not foreclosing that mortgage. I was delirious, you know." Thirteenth Commandment. An officer of a large corporation is often given to speaking lightly of his company. Each time that he does, and it reaches the ear of the president, there is a warm meeting. A short time ago this officer was in a specially humorous mood and said many things about his company which created considerable laughter. There was a director present who did not relish the criticism and the next day he reported what was done to the president. The offending official was sent for and given a heart-to-heart talking to. When he went back to his room he sent for a messenger and ordered him to purchase one of the cards used in Sunday schools on which is printed the Ten Commandments. When he received it he added another commandment. It was as follows, "Hold your tongue."—Philadelphia Press. Live and Learn. "I have been in business many years and during that time have received hundreds of thousands of postal cards," declared a Market street business man, "but recently I had a novel experience. "I received an ordinary postal card on which was placed a 2-cent due stamp. And, of course, before I could receive the card I had to pay the postman 2 cents." "I became curious. A postal card with a due stamp on I had never received. About this particular card there was nothing to suggest that extra postage was required. So I made inquiries. Then it was shown to me that the sender of the postal in question, perhaps for convenience in carrying, had cut off a quarter-inch strip from the bottom. And, therefore, under governmental regulations, full letter postage had to be placed in the card. All of which goes to show that the longer we live the more we learn." —Philadelphia Press. Good Example to Follow. A happy family of children have had the attic fitted and turned over to them as their "very own." The rafters and floor are stained green. Over the latter are scattered old-fashioned rag carpet rugs of the hit-and-miss order, with red or yellow stripes at the ends. A long, low table is also green, and so, too, are the low chairs sawed off to comfortable height. Among the chairs is an old "Boston" rocker that is the seat of honor of the place. There are ferns, shelves containing treasures gathered up from field and shore, two or three red Japanese lanterns and a big cowbell suspended by a rope over the stairs. This is the doorbell, if you please. The cubbies between the timbers of the sloping roof are occupied as dolls' houses, etc. Suppress Socialism in Japan. In the last number of the Heimin Shimbun, a Socialist paper recently suppressed by the Japanese government, the editor and staff announced their intention to devote their energies to the printing and distribution of Socialist literature in the Russian language among the Russian prisoners of war now in Japan. Pictures of German Navy. It is announced that, by order of the Kaiser, biograph pictures of the German navy are to be shown in all German towns, to stimulate interest in the development of the service. The idea originated some years ago in THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. England, where it was round to stimulate recruiting for the navy. Japs Remember Friends. Japan remembers its friends even in war time. On the occasion of his seventieth birthday, Prof. J. J. Rein, of Bonn, Germany, received a cablegram of congratulation from the University of Tokio. Automatic Gas Lighting. Experiments are being made in Charlottenburg, near Berlin, with a device for lighting and extinguishing all the street lamps simultaneously from the gas works. FORGES FAMOUS OLD BINDINGS Shrewd Individual Makes Good Money at the Business. "Book forging is my business," said an elderly man, on a roof garden. He had been drinking, and this made him more communicative than wise. "Yes, sir, I am a book forger," he continued. "I make good money at it, too. Last year I made $7,500." "What, may I ask, is book forgery?" said the man's companion. "I'll tell you. It is the binding of old books in such a way that people think old masters bound them. I can take an old book worth, say, $5, and I can put on it a Grollier binding that will make it worth $200. That will only be about two days' work—$195 earned in two days. "I used to bind books legitimately at a bindery and my salary was $35 a week. I couldn't live on that, you know, with my expensive tastes. "Well, one day a rich patron brought a Grollier to the shop to be repaired, and I, just for fun, copied the binding. Then I got hold of an old French pamphlet and I covered it with the forged Grollier binding I had made. Afterward I took the volume to a dealer in old books and he bought it like a shot for $105. 'Why,' he said, 'this is a genuine Grollier.' "That started me in the business. I made a study of the finest old bindings that exist. These are the bindings that were made for the Valois kings. Grollier and Maioli were the great artists of the time, and their bindings, in the libraries of Francis I, Henry II and Charles IX were the most splendid that the world has ever seen. "The simpler examples of Grollier and Maioli are the ones I forge. I sell my forgeries to millionaires. In seven years I haven't had a complaint."—Exchange. Harmsworth Criticizes Americans. Sir Alfred Harmsworth, who is an expert on the subject of motor cars, has been noting carefully the merits and demerits of the American machine during his visit to this country and has come to the conclusion that it is an absurd waste of money for Americans to import an automobile instead of purchasing the domestic article. "Indeed," says Sir Alfred, "I can not understand the folly of Americans importing cars and paying such ridiculously high prices for them, when, as everybody knows, the larger portion of these exorbitant prices goes into the pockets of Paris middlemen of more than doubtful reputation. It may be, as Barnum said, that the American people like to be humbugged." Denver Professionals The Statesman takes pleasure in introducing the following colored professionals and recommends them as competent in their lines. Show yourself a race lover by patronizing them.

In the immediate neighborhood of the little town of Klingman, in Switzerland, a case was found containing an assortment of 829 gold coins. Most of the coins are of the years from 1602 to 1704. It is thought that the gold was buried at the time of the Spanish war of succession. The gold value of the coins is estimated at 35,000, and the numismatic value at over 100,000 francs. QUICK ARREST.

Once in the Pacific coast forests, the writer came upon a magnificent sugar pine, the only tree of its kind for miles around and a landmark even in that region of giant trees. My guide, as he looked up at the top, which lifted itself almost into the clouds, remarked: "If a man could climb that tree on a Christmas morning he could hear the church bells ringing in heaven."—Exchange. --- Elephant Turned the Tables. Sir Frederick Saunders and a friend were out elephant shooting in Ceylon, when the friend, being surprised by his quarry, dropped his rifle and made for a tree. The elephant, being wounded, seized the abandoned weapon in a transport of rage. The rifle went off and shot its owner in the ankle. Quinine in Universal Use. Great fortunes have been made out of quinine. At the time when Louis XIV purchased the secret, a pound of the bark cost about $50. As it came into general use, it became a most important article of export from Peru; now it is successfully cultivated in Ceylon and Java. A Nickel's Worth of Jumps. "A small boy came into my store the other day," remarked the druggist, "and asked for five cents' worth of 'jumps.' Now what do you suppose he wanted?" When everybody gave it up the druggist told them what the boy had been sent for was hops. His Modest Request. A man in a taeater avenged himself upon a woman whose hat effectually prevented him from seeing the stage, by saying to her, "If you won't take off your hat, will you be so kind, my dear madame, as to fold back your ears?" We Don't Grow Much. The average height of a man is found by A. Dastre to have continued the same for thousands of years, as shown in primitive man, prehistoric man and historic man. The great size of ancient man is imaginary. Hotel Lacking in Felicities. Half the profound truths one hears are spoken entirely by mistake. Up in the Virginia hills is a small hotel, or large boarding house, whichever you like to call it, where the air and scenery are supposed to make up for the lack of modern conveniences, a pitiful foot tub and a pint of water greet you every morning, and you pine for your home tub as Moses' followers hankered for the fleshpots. A Washington woman, who is own sister to Mrs. Parkington, is staying up there. She sat on the gallery one day last week, and this is what she said: "It's a lovely place, but it has one drawback—there are no felicities for bathing here."—Washington Post. Vale. I am not fair, But you have thought me so And with a crown I go More rich than beauty's wear. I am not brave, But fear has made me so And dread lest I forego The honor that you gave. I am not wise, But you loved wisdom so That what I did not know I learnt it in your eyes. I am not true, But you have trusted That I faithfully go Lest I be false to you. If heaven I win, I can no virtue show But that you loved me so. Will they let me in? --Ethel Clifford. "Songs of Dreams." THE WESTE Macon, The oldest Christian institut comprehensive and thorough.

His Holiness presented the discoverer with an empty purse.

Delights of Being Caretaker to Youth of Tender Ane. . A youngster of inuiring mind made | a short trip on one of the ferryboats lately, and these are a few of the questions he proponnded to his long: | suffering caretaker: “Is the water down below there as wet as it is out in the ocean?” “How many men could be drowned fa water as deep as that?” “Did you ever stand with your head in the water till you couldn't breathe any more?” “If a father fish couldn't find any worms in the water for his little fish, would he think of going up on the shore to dig for them?” “Is that big man with the gold but- tons on his coat the father of all those men who do whatever he tells them?” “Oh, look!” was the gleeful com- ment as they passed a steamer towed by a little harbor tug which whistled sharply every now and then, “that big boat’s got the little boat by the tail and the little boat's squealin’!” Then his attention was momentarily turned upon a collie of high degree whose silky tail swept the deck. When discovered simultaneously by the hor- rifled owner of the canine as well as his own weary guardian he was active ly engaged in tying the tip of the dog's tail upon its back to the ring in its collar. “But ‘deed I wasn't hurting it any,” protested the small boy dolefully. “Benson says dogs what trail their tails.along behind ‘em Js sneaks, and I was just trying to help unsneak him!"—New York Times.

In the Franco-Prussian war a French gunner was commanded by his colonel to fire on a small house which was believed to be a retreat of the enemy. "Try it with a shell, my man," said the officer. With pale face Pierre obeyed. He sighted his piece deliberately and accurately, then fired it. "Well hit, my man, well hit," said the officer, as he looked through his glass. "That cottage could not have been very solid. It's completely smashed." Turning around, he noticed a tear stealing down the gunner's cheek. Why, what's the matter?" he exclaimed, roughly. "Pardon me, colonel," was the answer. "It was my own little house—everything I had in the world."—Southern Churchman. A Little War Tragedy.

Chinese Outcasts Make Their Burrows Among Deserted Graves-Fishers Who Live on the Ice in Lake Huron The Monks of Athos. Away up in the northernmost part of Northern China is a town composed entirely of graves. The place is, as a matter of fact, a deserted burial ground, and has been taken possession of by a band of beggars, thieves and outcasts of all descriptions, who eat and sleep in spite of their strange environment. There are several of these "towns among the tombs" in various parts of the Chinese empire, but the one mentioned is the most extensive. Adjoining a certain famous quarry in Italy is a town whose inhabitants pay neither rent nor taxes. The citizens, who are all employed in the quarry, dig out dwellings for themselves in the precipitous sides of the rocks. Roads up the cliffs lead to the various gallaries. In a marine village in New Guinea there are houses all of which are supported by piles and stand in the ocean, some distance from the shore. The object of this strange position is to protect the inhabitants from sudden attacks from the dreaded head hunters, who are always on the lookout for victims. Other villages in the same locality are perched on lofty trees for the same reason. Another curious place without a name is a town on an arm of Lake --- GRAND MAY BALL LAST BALL OF THE SEASON Manitou Hall Best Music by Harris Orchestra. Huron. It is made up of five hundred wooden huts. During the summer these houses are hidden away on shore and the town contains not a single inhabitant, but on the arrival of winter, when the lake is frozen, the owners of these huts arrive and proceed to move their huts out on the ice. The floor of the hut is taken up and a hole is cut in the surface of the ice. Through these holes the residents fish all through the winter. But when the spring comes and the ice melts away this extraordinary town is once more broken up and the inhabitants move their shanties back to the woods while they scatter themselves all over the country. This place during "the season" has two churches and a curing house, not to mention several saloons. But the most curious town in the universe is situated on a promontory on the coast of Macedonia and is called Athos. The peninsula is known as the "Mountain of the Monks," from the fact that a score or more of monasteries are dotted over the hills or lie in the valleys. They are filled with a body of ascetics, kind and hospitable to strangers, but full of superstitions. The actual town is distinct from the monasteries and supplies the simple wants of the monks. Here are to be found streets of shops, a flourishing bazaar and all the energy and bustle of a modern town. But one thing strikes the visitor at once. Not a female is to be seen. Even the small Turkish garrison is made up entirely of bachelors. This strange law is carried out even among the domestic animals. Only the wild birds evade it, but they are never eaten. The legend which accounts for this strange state William Knight Floor Manager arris Orchestra. N 35 CTS. May 16. or attains is a nimsy one, but is implicitly believed by the inhabitants and rigorously observed. It appears that at one of the chief monasteries there is a miraculous icon. It is a representation of the Virgin, and the legends say that one day as the Empress Pulcheria, who had liberally endowed the church, as well as beautified and restored it, was engaged in her devotions the Virgin spoke and asked her what she, a woman, was doing there. As the Empress did not reply the voice spoke again and commanded her to leave, saying that no woman should ever again enter the church. The surprised lady left the place, and since then no female has ever entered the promontory, though why this prohibition should have taken in the entire peninsula is not clear. Tippling In South Carolina. The Columbia (S. C.) State notes that "the dispensary sales in Sumter (population 5,680) for the six days ending Dec. 24 aggregate $6,442" more than $1.00 worth of rum for each inhabitant. Zulus Swift Runners. The rate at which the Zulus can run in an emergency is astonishing. Some will cover as much as fifty miles in six hours. Eight miles in an hour is an ordinary feat. Liniment of Cedar Oil. Cedar oil is a valuable liniment, and as a general pain killer had immense vogue at one time among patient medicine men. Guides and trappers still believe in it. DENVER DOINGS.

English People Make Practice of This Form of Insurance. "Policies, I'll wager, are already being taken out in London on the life of little Alexis, the new heir to the Russian throne," said an insurance agent. "The English gamble horribly in life insurance, and Alexis must appeal to them as a wonderful risk. They will pay high for him, though. "The insurance rates on all royal lives are a tribute to the power of the nihilists and anarchists, for they are so huge as to be almost prohibitive. The rate on the King of England is enormous, and among monarchs his is the lowest rate of any. That on the Russian czar is the highest. The czar is a bad risk. Many companies would not insure him on any consideration. "But Lloyds, the great London concern, would insure anything or anybody—Prof. Langley going up in one of his flying machines, a Japanese spy about to enter Port Arthur, a Russian battleship going into battle. And hence Lloyds is willing to insure the poor little Russian heir, and a certain class of men, taking advantage of this fact, are procuring policies upon the baby's life. "Gambling on lives is a ghastly form of sport, and I believe that it is practiced nowhere but in England. It ought not to be practiced there. The law ought to prohibit it. At Lloyds, however, it is always going on. Policies at Lloyds are continually being taken out on persons of eminence all over the world." Cheer Up, Cheer Up!

A Hebrew tailor of the east side had testified that the young defendant on trial had awakened him at night by picking the look on his door, and afterward breaking the chain which was fastened on the inside. On cross-examination the defendant's lawyer asked the witness: "How did the defendant manage to break the chain which was fastened on the inside of your door?" "Ask him," was the quick response. "That's his business. I'm a tailor. He's a t'ief."—New York Times. Railroad Building in Africa. At the half-yearly meeting of the Rhodesia railways it was stated that 321 miles of line had been opened for traffic. The trunk lines south of Zambesi were thus finished, and the Gweto, Selukwe and Matoppo branches had also been completed. The total railway system open for traffic was now 1,309 miles. The bridge over the Victoria falls was being erected, the construction of the extension north of the river had begun and the permanent way material was being carried across by a cableway concurrently with the building of the bridge.—London Engineer To Fight Codling Moth. George Compere, employed jointly by the state of California and West Austrania has discovered in South America a parasite which destroys the codling moth. Apple orchards that are habitat of the parasite bring 95 per cent of their fruit to maturity. Hitherto the product of the world's apple and pear orchards has not been more than 30 to 35 per cent of the promise at setting. San Francisco expects to receive from West Australia the first of the parasites very soon, and they will be cultivated under the most favorable conditions. Real Old Irish. A letter bearing the following ad dress took four days in delivery: "Bean ni ghi abraim teac-osda priom haidech radharc an chuain, Kilronan, Aran Island, Galway." This is not a joke. Translated, it is merely this: "Mrs. Gouran, Private Hotel, Harbor View, Kilronan, Aran Island, Galway." and it represents an effort to revive the Gaelic language in Ireland. All the Letters in a Sentence. All the letters of the alphabet are contained in the sentence: "John P. Grady gave me a black walnut box of quite a small size." Temperance typewriters will, of course, prefer it to the old standby: "Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs." If neither suits they can try: "The quick, brown dog jumps over the lazy fox."

Had the race no other name, That of Washington alone, Should suffice to fix your hearts And urge on to crowns unwon. If in slavery's cruel days, Negro men of worth could rise. What cannot be done by you In this day of fairer skies? Character is what you need Most of all to win the race, Add to this true Wlsdom's aid And the whole world you can face. The lives of our great men all teach Opportunities await Every struggling Negro lad Who will knock at Fortune's fate. Be industrious and true, Every inch of you a man; Knowing deep within your soul, Conquer all you surely can. Rise, go upward towards the skies Start today and never stop, Make your way with steady march Room awaits you at the top. Do not let the clouds of gloom, Nor the night of prejudice, Fill your young heart with despair Causing you your way to miss. Stand with head and form erect Look the world square in the eye Set your mind to reach the heights, You can reach them if you try. God and right are on your side, Color cannot be disgraced, Men of worth have been produced From the ranks of every race. Faint not, sleep not by the way, For the world is watching you, And both friend and foe today, Wait to see what you will do. Keep the noblest ends in view, Strong of heart and great of soul And in triumph by and by, You shall reach the longed for goal KATHERINE D. TILLMAN, Colorado Springs. MADE YOUNG AGAIN.

Zeus had been enthroned and announced that he could do up all the other gods by his sheer strength, but the king of heaven didn't seem to be in a very good humor for all that, and the rest of the divinities wondered what was wrong. Taking Hebe to one side, Zeus queried: "What was that stuff I drank last night, and why under the shade of Olympus do I feel like the second joint of a stewed owl this morning? You served the drinks, I think; maybe you can tell me what's wrong." "Huh!" snorted the pert young damsel of the wine cup. "You ought to know. It's your funeral. Don't you know yesterday was inauguration day?" "And was I inaugurated?" asked Zeus in a stage whisper. "Sure; don't you feel like it?" And the dread monarch, pressing his hands to his aching brow, wondered if the game was worth the candle after all. The Secret of Happiness. The man who can drill his thoughts, so as to shut out everything that is depressing and discouraging and see only the bright side even of his misfortunes and failures, has mastered the secret of happiness and success. He has made himself a magnet to draw friends, cheer, brightness and good fortune to him. His presence is like a sunbeam on a dull day. There is no accomplishment, no touch of culture, no gift which will add so much to the alchemic power of life as the optimistic habit—the determination to be cheerful and happy no matter what comes to us. It will smooth rough paths, light up gloomy places, and melt away obstacles as the sunshine melts snow on the mountain side.—Success. An Exciting Time. To the average Philadelphia New York is a great show place, although few are willing to admit it. Mr. Simen Ford tells the following conversation he heard recently in Philadelphia, the truth of which he vouches for on his honor as a humorist. She was a quiet domestic type, such as abounds in the City of Brotherly Love. "Did you have a good time in New York?" was asked. "Oh, yes," was the reply. "Such a good time! I was taken all through the Bible House and was measured for a new pair of spectacles."—New York Herald. Press Censorship. The press censor in St. Petersburg refuses to permit the mention of astronomical research, "because it tends to subvert traditional belief"; he has also had all reference to Hamlet's weakness and indecision excised from the play on the ground that it is "improper language about a prince of Denmark," and Russia is on friendly terms with the court of Denmark. Helights and Depths of Man. Heights and Depths of Man. The most selfish and ignoble races that ever flew through the air or swam in the sea never availed themselves of the accidental possession of power to establish orders of patrician and plebeian, or of lord and commoner, and thus to doom one portion of their number to perform all the toil and bear all the burdens of the tribe, while they themselves monopolized all its leisure and its luxuries.—Horace Mann.

Imitation Tides in Great Lakes. The actual tides of a lake are exces sively small. Nevertheless, noticeable alterations of level often occur, which were long regarded as mysterious. Recent observations in Switzerland make it certain that in these oscilla tions are due to differences in air pressure at different points on the lake. If the lake is large enough for the barometer to be high at one end while there is still a low pressure area over the other, water will be forced toward the place where the pressure is lower and an oscillation of leve) will result.

Some twenty years ago a_ rich South American died who left a con siderable sum of money in trust for a pet alligator, which for some years had lived in a small artificial lake which had been made in his owner's grovnds for the purpose, the special prevision= being that his scales were to be cieaned at least twice per an. num. and he was to be well fee, and when ill to have the attention of s veterinary surgeon.

On one occasion when Squire Hilton of Alma was entertaining the minister at dinner the guest had just concluded grace when a voice behind him observed: "Good Christian boy!" Astonished, the clergyman looked around and burst out laughing to see only a green parrot, the household pet, and a very intelligent bird. It had previously happened that one day the ladies were congratulating themselves that the parrot, on the ocean travels, had not learned any profanity, when Mr. Hilton had remarked that Poll was "a good Christian boy."

Can Detect Dropping of Acorn at Great Distance. "Hogs have a much keener sense of hearing than most people seem to think," said a man from the country. "They can see well and at a considerable distance, but the nose and eyes of the hog must give first place to the ears. "This is so, no doubt, because hearing is probably the most useful of the senses in the hog life, particularly at that season of the year when the hog in the wild state must rely upon the fruitage of trees, in the main, for food. Even with this advantage it is frequently a fierce race to see which hog can get there first. It would be interesting to know just how far a hog can hear an acorn fall. It is remarkable how quickly they become cognizant of the fact that an acorn has been blown from its outer shell, and tumbling toward the ground, and he seems to catch the sound quicker when he knows a competitor is near who will run him a race for the nut. I have witnessed some fierce and interesting races between hogs, with an acorn as the stake. "Put a hog within twenty yards of an oak and in nine cases out of ten he will beat the acorn to the place. In nine cases out of ten the hog will be within a few feet of where the acorn strikes the ground, another fact which argues the superiority of the hog's hearing. He can apparently tell pretty well by the sound where the acorn will fall, and he will rarely miss it more than a few feet."—New Orleans Times-Democrat. Hero Is Destitute. Capt. Benton, an English sailor, 82 years old, who has saved forty-nine persons from drowning, is to have a street organ bought for him, so that he can earn a living. THE DENVER DRY GOODS CO.
