The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1879-03-22

The statement is that the young wife
used to put her husband out In the cold
at nights, and then she would vary the
programme by pounding and starving
him. The poor old man did not live
long under this treatment, but he
seemed to have been oblivious of it be-
fore he died, for he made a will in
which every dollar of his handsome
estate vas left to his tbankless wife.
But the living will speak, and although
the relations Of old Mr.. Underhill were
slow to vindicate his wrongs while he
lived, yet after his demise when 1t was
found that he had left none of his hard
cash to them they began to rally and
by this time a very lively ROY has been
raised. Let us hope that the dead may
be allowed to rest in peace, and the liv-
ing come to an amicable understand
ing.
The Cuisines Palaces of Chicago
are a source of wonder to all who visit
here. A building which has been late
ly erected is creating a great deal of at
tention and admiration just now. 1t
is the building known as the Williams
building and situated at the corner of
Wabash venue and Monroe street.
To-day is st. Patrick's day. Some
fifty or more Irish societies of the city
will turn out to have their annual pa
rade. A novel plan has been adopted
to on that day raise funds for liquidat-
ing an Indebtedness which the death of
the Iamented Bishop Foley leaves On
one of the orphan Asylums. Ga st.
Patrick's day Mother Joseph, superior
of the asylum, will be placed in a car
riage with several of the orphans, at
rage the lines of the procession will
deviate and each man as he passes
along will have the pleasure of putting
in the hands of these little ones his
mite to paying. the debt. No, better
way than this of celebrating st. Pat
rick has yet been found.
One Of the leading dry goods l1rms
here, las q new invention in the way Of
a cash box 1t is to supercede the old
manner Of irapping on the show cases
to m cash boys and from its
simple ingenuity and the amount of
time that it saves the customers, who
generally waits Owe or ten minutes, for
his change, and the quiet in
which it operates it is promising to be
unequaled in usefulness and will no
doubt in n very short time'become very
generally adopted by I'LL merchants.
A full force Of workmen are employed
on the ''Singer'' building, and it will
be but a short time now till onr incom-
parable dry goods firm, Field & Letter,
become permanently located there.
In a former letter we took occasion
to speak of the wonderful institution
here, known as ''The News Boys
Home" Now;we must for the benefit of
some who may not know of the great
good that it is doing every year. mem
ton one instance which seems to stand
unparalleled in the history Of this kind
of work. = One year ago, next month,
there was on the streets of Chicago, a
poor boy always seen with a bundle of
papers under his arm and never too
nice or clean, or inviting in his appear
ance did he seem. But there was at
all times a something in his face
which spoke something of a proud and
better nature beneath his torn jacket,
but which the mass would pass by I'M
needing and unfeeling. One day, how
ever, when this boy had reached about
the lowest depths of poverty and des-
pair, and he stood on the corner of the
street with his unsold papers under his
arm a lady happened by, and no lady is
better known in Chicago than she, for
she is superintendent the News Boys
Home, and her quick eye saw the look
on the boys face and she did not hesitate
to stop and say n word to him. That
word was the beginning of a new career
for the poor fellow. The then new SUI
p~erintendent took n lively interest in
