There is a vorld of pathos and human interest in pis play that appeals to everyone. It s a drama that is at once and at the lame time logically consistent and legitimately sensational. It contains a story hat goes straight to the heart and yet between the tears of emotion brings the glad smiles of happiness. "Why Women Sin" is one of the great melodramas of the day in that it is pure and pretty. In its production it is new, novel, unique. It contains many sensational features; it has beautiful scenery and its musical features are more noteworthy than those contained in many musical snows. The company iucludes the best actors of metropolitan reputation that money can secure and among the number may be mentioned Ada Wagner, Kdward Lester, Fred Alvn, Alice I)avenport and Little Helen. * Reduced Rales lo Denver, Cel.

The number of pnpils at our Public Schools is much larger this year than for several terms. The total will ramil>er about two hundred and twenty-five, the primary grade especially being crowded. Miss Long has over a hundred to contend with which makes it rather difficult to accomodate them in the alloted space. Our school directors will soon have to enlarge the building.According to Turkish officialdom, the sublime porte was driven to the expedient of hiring an official disseminator of news In the Interest of truth, the Inference being that the reports of slaughter In Macedonia b.v tho Turks are largely pure fabrication. In fact. It Is broadly hinted in Con stantlnople that the Macedonian committee has in Its employ a corps of press agents composed of the most export liars In all Europe nnd that the tales of Turkish atrocities which have horrltled the civilized world originate In the imagination of these men. JOSEPH MOBOOMB& Moreoinbe for the confidential position to whleb be has been appointed on the staff of Sultan Alxlul Hamld, waa moved to do so because of Moroombe's high appreciation of the Turkish character and hla belief that the Turks ara far auperlor to the subject peoples who are In rebellion. Mr. Morcombe is a Mason of high rank and haa written many exhaustive articles on Masonry's history and symbols. lie expect* to begin his duties In Constantinople about Oct 10. When the sultan's American press agent reaches the sceuo of his labors and let* loose his pen. and perhaps his Imagination, the tales of-rapine and murder which have come from stricken Macedonia will likely wear an entirely different complexion.
