...will speak in the Music Building at noon today. Certainly they are not works of discords and cacophonies', perhaps they are even a bit over-sentimental. Yet it is a question whether the "Erlkoenig", and the "Serenade" will not still be sung when many of our modern writers are forgotten. For their work in letting in fresh air on an art which had grown somewhat state, the new tendencies must be that in and of themselves they are of themselves they are of permanent value, is another question...
...Republican administration. As such, he financed the first war which the U. S. fought against a civilized country other than Great Britain.* He was official head of Chicago's World's Fair. He was long President of Chicago's First National Bank-"its brains and body" forgotten La Salle Streeters called him. He married a Minnesota woman, a Colorado woman, a California woman. He "discovered" Frank A. Vanderlip. At 80, a soft veil of hair covered his head; with spreading beard and whiskers, he looked more of a statesman than Charles Evans Hughes. He lived...

For, in telling of the ejection of Mrs. Blanche S. Brookins, a colored woman of culture and intelligence and an interstate passenger, from a Pullman car in Florida...
Spurs and six-guns of long-dead badmen are still to be kicked up from the sand and cactus of the Colorado plains. Buffalo skulls and stage-coach axles still bleach and rust in forgotten gulches of the Rocky Mountain foothills. But the West is "civilized," has been for some time, and with it Colorado. The funicular up Pike's Peak is 35 years old and for 21 years there has been a searchlight on the summit. The $2,500,000 State Capitol was finished way back in 1895. Denver still smelts lead for bullets and other useful articles...
