Father Pantanella built Sacred Iieart , 1 college in 1SST and ISSS, and the suo cess of the institution, which has ! prown steadily from the first, is largely ! due to him. Perhaps there is no priest po loved and admired as Father Pantanella. Pan-tanella. not only for his scholarship, but lor the beauty and generosity of liis character. His sweetness of disposition dispo-sition and his thoughtfulness for others has endeared him not alone to the other priests, but to every student in ! the college. The Denver News, in its sketch, says Father Pantanella has had a very wide oxp enence as a teacher and a b.'iliiant career. ' He was born in Isola Liiri, Italy, Oct. 31, 1831. His boyhood days were passed in .the seminary of Sora iind then he spent a year at the Jesuit college at Alamo, where he received his vocation and entered his novitiate in Naples, Nov. 1, 1851. From here he went to the College of Nobles, where he taught for five years. He had been a threat student of philosophy before en-1 en-1 teriug the order, but after his regency he repeated the course, beginning in Naples and finishing in Vals, Spain. lie also took up the study of mathematics mathe-matics and studied for a year in Paris. He took up theology in Laval, France, and was ordained a priest there in June, 1S67. He spent a year in Belgium nnd left Europe for this country in August, Au-gust, 1867, in company with thirteen other Jesuits, one of whom was Cardinal Car-dinal Mazzella, afterwards prefect of Father Pantanella was assigned to the chair of philosophy in Georgetown university, Washington. D. C, on his arrival in America. After two years he was sent to the Jesuit house of FiiHies at Woodstock college, Maryland, Mary-land, where he taught philosophy for eleven years, until Father Mazzella was called to Rome, when he took his place in the chair of theology. Four years later he was sent to Las Vegas, N. M., in the capacity of president of the college there, and then in 1884 in a similar capacity to the newly opened k college at Morrison. Three years later he came to Denver and built the college here, of which he has always been the treasurer, and for ten years taught philosophy. The college is one of th? strongest educational institutions m the state and also attracts many students stu-dents from all over the country.

Besides the general custom and ways of conducting the like entertainments en-tertainments in the way of assuring success, there are connected with this one means which, when handled rightly, right-ly, must prove a valuable aid in its way. There are a number of contests between persons who claim personal skill and faculty along this line. The first and foremost may be mentioned men-tioned the contest for a conductor's silver lantern. The popular contestants contest-ants are M. Garett. conductor on the D. & R. G. railroad, and his opponent in the case is J. H. McDonald of the Santa Fe railroad. The wide acquaintance acquaint-ance and popularity of these gentlemen are sufficient to guarantee a lively race. The second contest is that of a gold-headed gold-headed cane to be awarded to the most popular gatekeeper of the Pueblo smelter smel-ter and the steel works. Joseph Of-sonki Of-sonki holds the fort at the first named institution, while W. F. Mudd represents repre-sents the latter.

Another contest that has sprung up is that of Masters Johnnie Campbell and Alphonso Weile for a suit of clothes.
