DENVER HOTELS
There Are Enough to Handle
Convention Crowd.
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

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

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. New Tork Post

Part of the pleasure in wearing clothes comes
from knowing that they're of the right quality.
There's a lot of cheap
clothing made and sold;
it's made so that you'll think it is good, and
you pay for what you think it is. It isn't
even low-priced, sometimes.
The advantage

John and Willie are twins. Their
best friend and playfellow is Archie
who is gifted with red hairnd a hot
temper. One day they quarreled and
Archie started home in a huff. The
unsympathetic twins called after him:
"Red head, red head!" Archie seemed
not to hear until the insult was re
peated. Then he turned and calfed
back, "Don't care if I am red headed;
I ain't twins, and folks can tell me

PEPY ON SHAKESPEARE.
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."
