litter THE R.5LL.

This lis the form of Nora Perry's popular
poem after the Ball." as lit was originally
written:
And Maud and Madge in robes OF white,
The prettlest nlghtgowns under the sun,
Stockingless, slipperless, sit in the night
For the revel is done.
Sit and comb their beautiful hair,
Those wonderful waves in brown and gold,
Till the fire is out in the chamber there.
And the little bare feet are cold.
1t was expanded under tie advice OF friend
and sold to the Atlantic Monthly. These verses
do not seem to contain even the germ Of the
poem as it now stands.

A British physician, observing the large num-
Der OF boys under fifteen years Of age on the
streets with cigars and pipes in their mouths,
was prompted to examine the breath Of this
class of smokers, and for that purpose selected
thrtyeight boys between the ages OF nine and
fifteen. In twenty-five OF these cases he found
various disorders of the circulation aud diges-
ton, palp.tation of the heart and more or less
marked taste for strong drink. In twelve there
was frequent bleeding of the nose, and twelve
had slight liberation OF the mouth caused by
tobacco. The doctor treated them for their
ailments, but with little effect until the habit Of
smoking was discontinued, when breath aud
strength were soon restored. The effect OF to-
bacco in creating taste for strong drink is un-
questonably very great. II the testimony Of
some tobacco users and medical men is of any
weight, one OF the most radical methods of
keeping the young from being led to intem-
perste drinking is to deny them tobacco.-The

THE THEATRE ACCIDENT:

/AE IAEd1AE ACCIOEVl. i.
The need Of municipal legislation
in Irwin relative to- the erection OF
public buildings, was clearly demon
strated at the Palace Theatre last
Saturday evening, and should be a
warning to the public as well as incite
our city fathers to immediate action.
A little after 8 O'Clock last Satur-
day evening, about 400 persons had
assembled in the Palace Theatre
to hear the speech of Hon. Thomas
Patterson. The four boxes, built on
either side of the orchestra chairs,
we're filled with ladies, while all the
available space on the floor OF the
parquette and orchestra circle was
taken up by men. The parquette is
raised about two feet higher than the
orchestra circle and will hold nearly
$50 men. The building itself is a
mere she'll, through which you can see
daylight in any part. >.
After Mr.. Patterson had been in
troduced and was getting warmed
Up" On the subject of Gov. Pitkin, the
living mass in the parquette, was
" cooled off" by the floor giving
way and 200, out of the ESQ men, be
ing preclpitated, together with chairs,
benches and heavy counter, eight or
ten feet into the mud below. The
counter in its descent jammed Mr.. !.
II. Rlstlne: q carpenter, against the
wall and dislocated his right arm from
the shoulder and otherwise injured him
IN the small Of the back. Several other
gentlemen received sprains, bruises
and cuts, while number lost their
hats and other personal property in
their descent.
The accident was caused by the
frail material of which the building
was composed as well as the manner
in which it was thrown together. The
weight Of the audience caused the un-
derpinning to give way and walls to
expand, consequently the wafer-like
floor was crushed in like an egg she'll.
The only wonder is, that the walls did
not tumble and crush to death the
living mass beneath.

R WINS FIRST DEATH.

The first death to occur in Irwin
took place last Saturday night at the
Elk Mountain Hotel. Michael Roach,
who had been engaged in cutting logs
for the saw mill, died at the time and
place above mentioned, after an ill
ness of six weeks. His death was
brought about by exposure and neg
lect while recovering from the noun
tain fever, he having caught severe
cold, which settled on his lungs and
caused pneumonia and death. He
was about IS years old and came here
from Chicago. The Catholics of the
city took charge Of the body and
buried it on the top of a mountain, a
graveyard selected by them, beyond
the spot where are buried the two
victims Of crime and casualty. While
the funeral cortege was on its way to
the last resting place of the dead it
was met by the incoming Gunnison
stage containing Father Robinson, a
Catholic priest of Leadville, and as
he was recognized by some Of the at
tendants, the stage was stopped and
the reverand gentleman requested to
accompany the funeral procession and
perform the last sad rites for the de-
ceased, which he kindly did. This is
the first death from sickness to occur
in Irwin, atown over year old.
