PRESS CLUB RESOLUTIONS Deploring the Publication of Stories in Various Newspapers Throughout Country to Effect That Hotel Ac commodations Will be Inadequate. DENVER, Feb. 11. Resolutions deploring the publication of stories in various newspapers throughout the country to the effect that hotel ac commodations in Denver will be in adequate to care for the crowds ex pected in this city during the meeting of the Democratic national conven tion in July, have been adopted at the regular monthly meeting of the Denver Press Club. The Denver Press Club, which is strictly a news papermen's organization and a potent factor in the affairs of the city and state, declares in the resolution adopted: . "That the Denver hotels are mod ern and there are enough of them to house comfortably any sized crowd that might be expected to come to the city during the convention." The resolutions request the news papers of the country to print the club's protest THE ' H Hat i TUPPENCE" HABIT. MUST RESTORE CONTROL. Decision Handed Down by the United States Court of Appeals. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. ll.-The control of the California Development Company which originated and con structed the monster irrigation sys tem by which water is taken from the Colorado River and applied to over 800,000 acres of desert land in the Salton basin district, Imperial county, must be restored from the hands of the Southern Pacific Company to the hands of the original stockholders and shareholders of the California Development Company. This was in effect the substance of a decision handed down by Judge Morrow in the United States Court of Appeals yes terday and ends litigation that has tied up the canal system of the southern country since the Colorado river went on a rampage in Septem ber, 1904, and threatened to submerge all of the great Salton Sink and de feat the very ends for which it was originally tapped. The decision is concurred in by Judge Gilbert. Judge Ross handed down a dissenting opin ion. Firm Grip on London Iti Inhabitants. Tuppence meituluK. of course, two pence and equul to the sum of 4 wnw In United States currency is the dot lusting sum In London. It Is as nine an lustltutlou as the war debt, beer or the game of cricket Wherever you go, whatever you do, whatever you sell or whenever you upon your month it Is tuppence or a series or that sum that is extracted from you. It more than takes the place of the five cent piece lu America or the threepenny bit In the British possessions. " Tuppence Is us much as a fairly well to do worker can afford for his meal at midday. Iu the poorer restaurants that sum gets htm two slices and big mug. or three slice and a little mug, or a portion of cake and a drink, or a fried egg, slice and small mug, or a sausage with mash or bread, or rasher of bacon. In the next higher class everything drinkable Is twopeuce per cup, while pastry, pies, etc., are the same mm per head. At the "popular" I. e., "no gratultles"-res- taurants the waiters expect a tuppen ny tip (thoi ;ti it Is advertised other wise by the proprietors), and the non Upper has a bad time. At most cafes tipping Is t .e usual thing, and tup pence Is exp vied and is accepted with the servile b w aud pleased expression that dlstlugi isb the English aud cou tlnental wal er upon such occasions. The tuppenny tube la well known. Tou deposit that sum, and you get in anywhere aud get out anywhere else yon please. On trolley care and buses that amount will carry you for an hour or two very often, usually to the ter minus. The railroad porter who car rlea your nig a few yards or who says Tus" when you ask If the train has stopped always has bis haud out for the usual fee, though he will carry your two large bags and whatever else you have for half a mile over high stairs aud low lines and accept the same amount with the same satisfaction. The cabby to whom you give coppers over the legal fare salutes you respect- i ruuy, nut it you pay double rare In a lordly manner he wants more and Is apt to make disparaging remarks about your breedlug, as may the bootblael to whom you give 1 Instead of 2 pen Dies. The cabby Is the surer of the two, however, for disparaging re marks, to which characteristic, I real ly believe, can be traced the advent of the taximeter.

Part of the pleasure in wearing clothes comes from knowing that they're of the right quality.

The advantage to you in our Hart Schaffner &Marx clothes ia not simply in what they are all-wool, cor rect in atyle, perfectly tailored,' it's In what you know they are.

Pepy's Diary, 1659-1669, comment ing on Shakespeare's plays, says of "Midsummer Night's Dream," "It is the most insipid, ridiculous play I ever saw in my life," and upon read ing "Othello, Moor of Venice," which I have hitherto esteemed a mighty good play, but having lately read the "Adventures of Five Hours," it seems a mean thing." enough, but it took me years of prac tice before I could do it While I am balancing thi glass I also Juggle with five bats at t j same time. I never, as matter of act, see the hats. They are banded t me by my assistant, and I then set t) m going, bnt the whole time my eye are fixed on the straws upon which he glass Is balanced. If I took my ej .-s rrom the straws for a hundredth pi rt of a second their bal ance would 1 a upset. I know Instinc tively where the hats are all the time and know er.octly where each bat Is when I put 0 it my hand to catch it. "It took re close on eight years' practice before I was able to balance' two billiard balls on top of each other and then balance the two on a billiard cue. I started practicing It an hour a day, as a rule. After a couple of years' practice one night I woke up, having dreamed that I had performed it I got up. rushed downstairs and be gan to practice with my cue and two billiard balls, and at the first attempt I balanced them. About five years later I performed tha feat in public. "For the cannon ball trick I first used a wooden II weighing just one ponnd. I caught It or. the wrong place and was knocked senseless, but I kept on prac ticing until I found out bow to do It. Now I use nn Iron ball weighing sixty pounds. ; If I didn't catch the ball on the right place on the back of my neck It would kill me, but there Is no chance of my making a mistake."

Repairing Clocks. "Watch repairers have a horror of touching a clock that has been tinkered by amateurs." explained a watch re pairer to a reporter, "and they would rather get out of. such a job If they can do so, for the loss of one of the smallest parts means considerable work to reproduce It, and much more work than the general customer ex pects or wants to pay for. They try to get rid of such a Job when they can, for in nine cases out of ten the re sult is not entirely satisfactory. Peo ple who have a good clock, unless they know something about the way clocks are made aud bow they should be tak en apart, will do tlio wise thing to let It alone when It gets out of order. Ex perimenting with It often means the rain of the clock. It Is absolutely dan gerous to try to unwind ft mainspring, as men have discovered for them selves, unless the proper tools are bandy. Now, a clock repairer has a contrivance known as a spring con troller, which grneps the spring and holds It while being taken out or put Into the clock, so that there Is no dan ger. The spring for an eight day clock Is often two yards long, and when sud denly let free It flies out with nearly the force of a charge of shot from a gun."
