Portion of a Private Letter Written by
James B. Arnold to His Wife.
Tho brakeman'aclenrcallof "Denver"
tells me that once again I am In the
metropolis of Colorado. Here, a In
other plnres on oir route, I notice a
jjrent improvement. Splendid business
structures (freot us on every Bide. One
tUtiiflr I noticed In particular, none of
the buildings aro over tilno stories high,
but what they lack In (might as com
pared to tho sky-scrapers of Chicago,
they make up In mixlorn architecture,
and their outside ornnmcntation Is
pleasing to the eye. Take some of tho
very tall buildings In Chicago that seem
to want to kiss the very clouds, and
their outside appearanco, as a general
thing, in tho way of pleasing architec
ture, Is not very attractive to the eye.
Denver now has a population of 105,000,
having mudo a wonderful gain In the
last few years. As a city to live In
it certainly should please any one, with
its clean streets, shady avenues and all
the advantages of our larger cities.
One great drawback to the city is that
It has not as yet a Sunday law, and on
thi; Sabbath everything seems to go.
Theatres arc open and picnic parties
parade tho streota, headed by a brass
band. They tell me that three hundred
days out of 3115 are clear. At least to
mo the atmosphere Is very bracing.
On tho streets you see a great many
Invalids, especially those afflicted with
lung trouble, and seeing so many of
them can't help but (HI ono with sad
ness and tnako you feel as though you
wore in a great hospital. They aro of
all ages, from tho young girl just bud
ding into womanhood to the aged man.
Tho backing cough, tho pnlid cVck
and sunken eyes only toll too plainly
that their pilgrimage on earth is short.
We leave to-morrow morning for
Cripplo Creek, stooping at Colorado
Springs for a day or so.
Colorado Springs is a beautiful
place. Many handsome buildings
have been erected since I was
hero last. Towering 14,147 feet
alxivo sea level is Pike's Peak, clad in
its mantle of snow. We arrived at tho
Springs at 11.25 a. m., and after dinner
started for Manitou. It is a ride of six
miles on the stivet cars. To our left
are Pike's Peak and tho Chcyunno
mountains. In thirty minutes we reach
Manitou, a beautiful placo. Many line
residences and largo hotels, and tho
formation of tho ground and mountuins
make It very picturesque.
I am now standing at the foot of Pike's
Peak waiting for tho car to take mo to
tho top of this wonderful mountain.
Tho distance is seven miles, but it takes
one hour and throe-quarters to make
the ascent. The conductor calls "all
aboard" and at last I am on my way to
the top of the mountain. Fifteen poi
sons are in the car, tho engine pushing
It. Tho sconory is simply beyond de
scription, changing constantly. Spread
out before me Is a mighty panorama of
40,000 squaro miles. Slowly our engine
. pushes us along, and at times I look
down thousands of foot into the valley
bolow and can't help but think, what
if something should break! fifteen souls
would be hurled Into eternity almost in
tho twinkling of an eyo. The conduc
tor culls out, "Timber Line,'' and look
ing a little ahead of us we see where
tho timber stops. We are now 11,578
feet above the sea level. Overcoats and
jackets are being put on, as tho air Is
very chilly. Some of the party are
finding it difficult to breathe, and one
kdy is fairly gasping for breath. Our
engine still pushes us along, unmindful
of our suffering, and we have yet over
twenty-five hundred feet to go. At last
we reach the top, in the midst of a snow
:orm, and we weloorae a red hot stove
to warm ourselves. The lady I spoke of
having such difficulty to breathe has
Almost fainted away and restoratives
are given ber. She can't walk, but sits
la a chala, gasping for air. One gen
tleman in the crowd said his head felt
as though it was full of wheels and .he
thought it would bust. I tried to whis
tle, but it was dead failure, only now
and then being able to strike a note.
After warming myself, I started out
to take a look, and what a sight! To
my right In the valley is Colorado
Springs. Not a single bouse is visible,
but you can see the san'dy streets and
the trees, making it look like a garden
patch. I was so taken up with the
view that I stumbled over a mound of
earth and stone, and in looking down I
aw It was a grave. I was somewhat
startled, not thinking of finding any
thing of the kind. Kneeling down, I
noticed the following on wooden head
board: "Erected to Memory of Erin
O'Krofe, Daughter of John and Nora
O'Keefe, who was eaten by mountain
rats in the year 1870," and kneeling
there I wondered If she would see the
dawn of the resurrect ion morn sooner
than those sleeping 9,0(10 feet beneath
her In the beautiful valley of Manitou.
Ilut the whistle has blown, warning mo
It Is time to get back to the car. The
ride down Is simply beyond description,
and you forgot, at least for the tlmo,
the dangerous ascent. At last wo ar
rive at Manitou and are ready to bid
good bye to the beautiful place. I take
ono last regretful look at this Eden on
earth and before going I will weave for
her a crown of forget-me-nots and placo
it upon her brow, crowning her Queen
of the Valley. Farewell, Manitou, with
thy scenery beyond description. May
thy waters of health continue to flow,
giving renewed strength to tho weary
and a blessing to all mankind.
