GENERAL NEWS.
Washington, March, 6.—It develops
that by the action of the president in
withdrawing an immense territory of
forest resérvés before signing the agri
¢ultural appropriation bill, one-féurth
of Colorado now lies in reserve.
.._o_—
Washingtou, Mareh, 5.—Senator
Patterson of Colorado today began an
argument in his own béhalf before the
supreme court of thé contempt case
brought against him by the supreme
court of Colorado. The éase grows out
of strictures on the court made by Sen
ator Patterson in hi§ two Dénver pa
pers, the News and the Timés. The
case was reached only abéut half an
hour before court adjourned today and
“most of that time was spent by the
Senator in outlining thé case and ex
plaining the fact that he was appear
fng as his 6wn lawyer. On’ Iater paint
he said his counsel would not consent
_fo receive any pay fof appearing for
him and that he ¢ould not pérmit themn
to appear withoat it. Reésponding fo
fhe sendtor, the chéif justice remnarked
fhat Mr. Patterson evidently and pro
perly was proceeding on the theory
fhat ‘‘If you wantany thing done well,
Jow shmeick do'it yourze .’

Home Talent.
The entertainment Tuesday événing
by the Pythian Sisters was a splendid
success. While those who' participated
in it were novices in theatrical func
‘tions, yet there was' displayed a degree
of nataral talent in that direction
rarely seen in townsthe size of Dolores.
When ‘““The Woman’s Club’” was an
nounced, & spectator by my side re
marked that ‘‘it must be a broom,”
and he seemed much surprised when
the raising of the curtain revealed an
array of ladies with no club at all.‘
The young man, though, seemed to be
‘hit bard by somethi ng; perhapsit was ‘
one of Cupid’s darts that struck him.
The blow seemed to be a hard ohé and |
nay prove to be fatal later on,
This “Club” plresented some of thé
characteristics of the fair sex—they all
talked at the samé timeé. Before get
ting down' to business théy discussed
what “‘she had freard”” and “what they
had said,” and whén they procéeded
to elect a president each one voted for
herself. Noone was elected and the
meeting ended in a'general stampeed,
éach declaring that if she é¢ouldn’t be
president shé wouldn’t be anything.
1t was all well done and the crowd
laughed heartily.
The next wasa presentation of thé
old, old story ‘““A Courtship.” This
same young man looked lohgingly on
as thé affectionate couple plighted
their troth, and he luoked as though he
wondered if he might not thus be madé
happy some of these days. The music
a¥ well as' the acting in this piece was
a treat t6 the audience. " .
When the “Pink Tes' Party” was
announced, this' aforesaid young mian
remarked that he had never seen tea
like that, and wantéd to know if it
grew in Colorado. Thfs party revealéd
the painful troth to a married 1ady
that heér dedr husband was not as'faith
ful as'she had thought bim to'be; that
he was thinking foo miuch of a young
widow, and when she gave him a piece
of her mind he looked a¥ though he
would Iike to emigrate. This piece was
frue to life and the crowd showed their
apprecidtion of it by prolonged zp
plause. Thius ended the program.
The Iarge audience on such & bad
night dnd’ the pleasant way in which
everything was conducted, should con
vince the ‘Sisters”. that the people of
Dolores would enjoy such entertain-
