SNIVERSARY CELEBRATION—SPRECHES BY SEN- ASSIVERSAITON MORGAN AND OTHERS, AS stated in THE STaR of last evening, the picnic and barbecue of the National Fair Asso- elation, to celebrate the first anniversary of the enterprise, took place on the grounds yester- day. The later trains in the afternoon took out Targe numbers of people to participate, while others went out in carriages. After office hours there was a big crowd present. A 1,200-pound beef, slaughtered at i” o'clock In the morning by Mr. Win. E. Clark, was roasted on a spit under ee Ce famous colored irbecu2 expert, who was brought over from Baltimore for the occasion. Alongside of the ox a half dozen large sheep ‘Were cooked whole under the girection of John Bakersmith, a well-known oufther.

Who commended the Fair Association for the energy it had displayed in laying out the fair grounds and in the erection of the many hand- Some buildings in it. He sald that although ne had visited many fair grounds in various parts of the country, he never seen any which equaled those of the National Fair Association for completeness and grandeur tn every detail. He continued, saying: have never seen a community that needed something to do as much as that in and around Washington. This Fair Association enterprise suggests that there are other things for the peopi¢ in Washington todo than to hunt after office. It will tndux ic toenter into other enterprises, /or this as been a magnificent success. It will have the effect of showing tothe country that the people bere are not merely an office-holdtng ople, and that they are independent, or at least on the way to Independence. They are nct all hangers-on. The poptlation here are above the average in intel fy sees and maay who come here are skilled fn special and technical pursuits. Everything shouid be done to en- courage manufacturing. The schools here are better than anywhere else in comparison with the population, but what is wanted most in this connection 1s an institute of technology, where men and women can be prepared so that they can enter into a business or profession, and earn their own lving without depending on places under the government. It makes me fad,” sald he, “to see the large number of ren and women about here whose highest ambition is to secure cfice, and thus make themselves, tn some respects at least, slaves. They should strive to be independent, and enterprises of this kind are a strong and decided step towards tn- dependence, which I am giad to see.” The Sepator’s remarks were hearily applauded, varlcularly the latter portion.

The number of applicants 1s far beyond those of preceding years. Owing to the fact that the Force building, in the ist istrict, and the Peabody butlding, in the 3d district have been compieted, giving accommo- dations to near 1,500 additional Pupils; the pressure will be somewhat relieved.

(Denver Tribune. } In the death of Ouray one of the historical characters of Colorado away. He has figured for many years as the greatest Indian of his time, and during his Ife has figured quite as prominently before the country a8 has any white man in the Rocky Mountains. It ts, therefore, meet and proper that on the occasion of bis death his life should be remembered. The record of his deeds 1s one of simple parts. yet he has proven iitmself elevated so far above other men of his race and time that his acts tand Out in bold relief, Ouray 13 in many re- spects—indeed, we may say in all respects—a remarkable Indian; a man of pure tnstiacts, of keen perception, and apparently posesses very proper ideas or justice and right, the friend of the white man and the protector of the Indian, ever boldiy asserting the rights of his tribe, and as continually doing all tn his power to create favor for the white man with the In- dian. Ouray, in telling the story of his life, says that he was born tn the Taos valley, New Mexico, near the Pueblo village of that name, In 1839. His tribe of Utes were in the habit of ee ee of their time in the Taos valley and San Luis Park,and along theSangre de Cristo Mountains. Down in this region they were ac- customed to meet the Apaches, who came from thenorth. It isa very,common thing for the women of a tribe of Indians to marry out of thetr tribe. Ouray’s father married an Apache women; hence the epithet which is so often suceringly applied to Ouray by those of the In- tans who disliked him, of being an ‘‘Apacue papoose.” The Indians became so accustomed to associate with the Mexicans that some of them began to adopt the customs of this people, and when Ouray’s father and mother came to the conclusion that they wanted to be married, they quietly marched up to the little advb? chureh, which stands on the hill, in the village atthe Red ilver crossing, and had the priest erform the ceremony, just as any good Catho- tes would. And when Ouray was born they took him to the same adobe building and had him baptized into the Catholfe Church, the only instance on record of the kind. but fs more renowned for his wisdom than ii bravery, During his young manhood, however, he was accustomed to Jead the Ute braves to battle, and was a very brave as well a3 succe: ful fighter. He Rony, planned well and fought bravely. During these times the Utes were engaged in a deadly encounter with the Arrapahoes, Cheyennes aud Sioux. It Wea War between the plains Indians and the moun- tain tribes. Ouray entered into the spirit which characterized bis race with a will, and soon became a renowned warrior. He’ soon was famed for wisdom, and his counsel was sought by the Utes far and near. When the white men first began to settle tn what ts now Colorado, they found Ouray chief of the Tabequache or Uncompahgre tribe, the largest band of the tribe and in great favor with the members of other bands, so that while he was not head chief, he Was a man of the greatest-imfluence and power among bis people. He was also dis- posed to be friendly toward the white settlers, and soon became known as a mediator between the two races. He continued tucreasing his authority and Intiuerice among his people until, as he expresses it, “the year after Lincola’s death he was rec wed as head chiet by the Indians.” In 1373 he acted as interpreter, and, in recognition of bis services at that time and in the past, the povecumment settled an annuity of $1,000 upon him, which he has since con- Unued to draw larly. The Utes have five wars with the Arra- pahoes, and Ouray states that during some of these he Jed as many as 700 warriors to the batsle fleld. The second war occurred about 1855, and some of the battleS were fought just ve where Denver stands. but thity men with him, while the Arrapahoes numbered 700, They came upon the Utes tn the morning, just before daylight, and took the mountain ‘Indians completely "by surprise. However, Ouray rallied few warriors, and they hurriedly formed in a square, after re- treating a short aistance, and, after a fight which continued fourteen hours, repulsed the Arrapahoes. it was during this fight that Ouray lost this little boy—the only son that had been born to him. He says that ‘when he saw the Arrapa- hoes coming, he threw water in the face of the child, then 6 years of , for the purpose of awakening him, but fai aoe he threw covering over him and left to go and fight the invaders of the camp. But the entire day passed before he could extricate himself from the entanglements tnvolving him, and when he did get away and have an opportunity to re- turn to his tepee, his boy had disappeared and has never since been seen by hig father. This incident is stil vividly remembered by Ouray, and he never refers to it without manttesting the greatest sorrow over It. He professes to believe his boy is dead, though be kuows he {fs hot, He ts still with the Arrapahoes, and as Ouray heartily despises the Arrapahoes, he would prefer the death of hts son to the dis- grace linplied !n being an Arrapahoe. Ouray lives in good style, He owns a farm. which is a real garden spot, of 300 acres. Of this he cultivates about 109 aci raising all kines of cereals and vegetables. He lives ina neatiy built and commodious adobe house batlt for him by the government, and neatly furn- ished and carpeted. He owns aumbers of horses and a good many cattle and shecp, and when he goes out, rides in a carriage which Was a present from ex-Gov. McCook. He hires tabdores from among the Mexicansand Indians, and also expects his wife to do her share of the farm work. Ouray’s present wife, Chopeta, 1s kind-hearted and very much like Ouray in her nature, being kind and well disposed toward the whites. ‘The chief has become very much attached to his present_ manner of living, and it 1s said was disposed to remain oa his farm and surrender the reins of government to some young man. Speaking before the commission, of which he was a member, recently {n session at Los Pinos, on the 16th of November of the present year, he safd: “1 do not want to be chief. 1 grow old and am tottering. Let some young man with the fire of youth in his veins take my place. I have my farm, which I would rather cultivate and ‘watch the seed planted by me grow upto ma- turity than to be head chief. They all come to me with their troubles, I know everything and have all their burdens to bear. Washing- ton no want me to glve‘up my position; wants me to stay and govern Utes. (1 want only to be known as Ouray, the friend of the white man.” So far as the late difficulty, resulting in the White river massacre and the Milk creek fight, was concerned, Ouray €ontinued from first to last friendly to the whites and an advocate of ace. Assoon as he learned of the Thor burgh fight he sent runners to White river, dering that hostilities cease. He also did every- thing in his power to secure the surrender of the captive women, and when there was a pros- ect of the southern Utes breaking out he sent Einery warning to the white settlers near. Although baptized into the Catholic church, Ouray does not profess the white man’s re- heer oe is the Ute god, and in hima Ouray belleves. He says that when good people die they will go to a delightful place like @ beautiful valley, with a clear stream of water running in it, there to meet with the frieads and the spirits of friends who have gone be- fore. They will all meet there—friends, brothers, and parents. RENTS AND GUARDIANS TAKE ROTICE!
