residences and threatened a number

I The fire broke out about 5.45 o'clock
at the residence of William Branson,
j in West North street, and spread to
I the home of Miss Anna Smith, imme
diately adjoining. The lire had a big
I headway when discovered, the Bran
; sons escaping in their night clothing.
Miss Smith, who is a semi-invalid over
I t>o years of age, was partially over
j come by smoke and was rescued by
j her nephew, Kdward Kutz, who was
! passing on his way to work.
Water froze as fast as it fell and
the hose was so stiff that it could
hardly be handled. The loss to the
owners will be about $6,000, partiallv
! covered by insurance.

which was renewed when Mr. Barnett
made an announcement in connection
with the fund for the Auditorium pipe
organ, and when Mr. Newcomb an
nounced his subscription of $250 to
the organ fund.
The Mayor said in part:
"Gentlemen—As we look down the
highway of the past we find that men
| have been measured by what they
j have done—not by what they have
gathered. History forgets what men
j possessed, or the luxury in which they
! lived.
"A man who does not reflect more
i sunshine than gloom is a failure in
life. We must all do something to
help others if we want to be remem
i hered longer than it requires sod to
j grow on our graves. Many people by
i death produce more secret joy tliah
I true sorrow; if a person is dependent
! death brings a sense of relief even to
[ friends; if independent the estate
I often receives more attention than
the memory of the departed.
"I havu stood before the graves of
! many wealthy men in our cities of
I the dead, and asked myself the ques
-1 tlon, "Is life a success which is en
j tirely spent in u struggle for gold,
' rind ends in a forgotten und*neglected
marble slab? Must the name of a
! leader in wealth or business be cut
j in marble to be remembered even by
his associates in daily life? Those who
! come after us care nothing for names
—it is only good deeds and, kind acts
which live and are remembered.
Make City Attractive
' "One of the most neglected ways in
which people can make themselves
bigger and better is by helping to!
make the city in which they live more j
attractive.
"Ugly things do not please. It is so
j much easier to love a thing of beauty]
—and this applies to cities as well as.
Ito persons and things. Fountains,!
statues, artistic lights, music, play-!
grounds, parks, etc., make people love
the place in which they live. Every]
time a private citizen, by gift or other- |
wise, adds to a city's beauty, he |
kindles the spirit of pride in other
citizens. One man truly proud of his j
city is worth a hundred well-meaning 1
but indifferent persons.
"It is so in all cities, yet I am glad I
that this condition prevails for it gives
j men who have been successful in life i
the opportunity they need to give, i
Most men are so busy chasing the,
dollar that they neglect golden op-;
potunities for happiness. Too much j
wealth is as much a curse to a com- I
munity as too much poverty. It takes :
a bigger man to rightly give away a ;
fortune than It does to make it.
"The struggles and battles of life 1
have a tendency to make men thought- !
less and indifferebt of others—one j
financial success only makes them
more anxious for another. Occasion
ally some Jar in life throws a man for •
a time out of his accustomed channel, j
and when he wipes away a few tears
from others, binds up a few wounds, ;
his heart muscles relax, the pulsations j
j become natural and he wants to plant
something that will blossom and bear 1
'wholesome fruit for those who are to I
< come after him.
A Few Suggestions
Let me suggest a few of Denver's
needs where public-spirited citizens
can help.

crete pylons about forty feet high'

"A municipal art gallery should bal

"Artistic and useful drinking foun- 1
tains scattered throughout the busy

ter through the kindness of some
generous-hearted citizen.
"Our streets and parks are almost
barren of modern sculpture. A social
center building is needed in our Jew
ish quarters. A bathhouse building in !
Elyria.

J proper setting as dead ones in our
j museum. Concrete roclts—waterfalls
! —trees, etc., with a moat, in front,
j would make animals even in captivity
I ftel and look at home.
"We need a magnificent fountain in
, our civyr center. An artistic band
stand, jrolonnades of Colorado marble,
I a court of honor, where the names of
Ithoae/who have contributed to Den
: ver's beauty and betterment shall be
carved in granite.
Road Vp Mount Evans
"A free highway to the summit of
Mount Evans would bring some of the
! grandest views of Switzerland within
fifty miles of Denver. Each summer
an ever-increasing throng would
| travel up this road of scenic wonders
and return with Inspiration to do big
ger and better things. Big views
| make big thoughts and big thoughts
1 make big men.
"Many of us have passed the sum
mit and are sliding down the hill of
I life. It pays us all at times to take
lan Inventory of ourselves, especially
when we are nearly at the end of the
trail and to ask, 'What have we done
,to make the path easier for those
| who are to follow?' Have we lessened
! any grades? Thrown out rocks? Have
we built any shelter along the way?
Cut out underbrush and opened up
vistas which inspire and stimulate the
| best side of men?"
STOPS JITNEYS. STRIKE ENDS
Pittsburgh, Dec. 18.—A decision by
the Public Service Commission against
Peter Greco, jitney bus owner, of Tar
entuqi, has broken the seventeen
months' strike of Allegheny Valley
street car men. By refusing to grant
Greco a certificate of public conven
ience the Public Service Commission
took away the principal weapon of
the street car men. When the strike
was inaugurated the men started a
jitney service, in this way prolonging
the strike.
The railway company filed a protest
against Greco's operation of a jitney
bus, and when the commission ruled
that a jitney is a common carrier and
can be operated only upon receipt of
a certificate of public convenience,
then refused to grant Greco a cer
tificate, the street car men's union de
clared the strike off.
