last night there passed through this
city on her way to Butte City, Mont, a
lady named Mrs. Frederick Schwartz.
There is nothing singularly startling in
this little announcement, but it is safe to
state that the lady and her family at
tracted more attention than many more
honored passengers who have honored
this city by changing cars at the depot, or
waiting five or six hours to make connec-
tons with the western train.
For some twenty or thirty minutes Mrs.
Schwartz was the observed of all obser-
vers, men, women and children pausing
alike to gaze on her in amazement. The
lady was seated in the waiting room of
the depot and surrounding her was a
group Of ten children, six girls and four
boys, the eldest two of them being 7
years of age. They were all bright,
healthy looking specimens of humanity,
and were, very plainly, the pride Of the
matronly lady who had them in charge.
The lady herself was not homely, indeed,
as a good looking female she was a success
She was young-not more than 2s-with
large blue eyes, golden hair and a de-
cidedly German caste of features. She
was about the medium height, rather
%stoutly built, and had the appearance of
one who was able to do her own house
work.
The conductor of the train called a re-
Dorter's attention to the group and pre-
scented him to Mrs. Schwartz. The lady
was extremely self-possessed and quite socl-
able. In response to the reporters in
q%uiries she stated
Il was born in Munich, Bavaria, and
my parents emigrated to America when l
was quite young. They settled at Ho-
boken, where L lived with them until |
was about is years of age. l then mar
ried and my husband and | went to Mil
waukee to live. He opened a saloon in
that city and we lived there some eight
years when he died of consumption.
Yes, she said with a smile, those
are all my children and there are five
twins, the Oldest being 7 and the young
est being , years of age. My babies"
referring to the smallest, were born
three months after their father death.
None of my children have seen a days
sickness, and l think they inherit their
good health from me. Their father was
not very strong and in his desire to pro-
vide for his family he overworked him
self, and l always believed that this was
the cause Of his death"
I came to Denver about six months
ago and tried to make a living by giving
music lessons, but l fonnd that l could
not do 50 as the times are too hard. One
of my friends at Butte wrote me to
come out there as she believed l could do
well, and | at once started. l am not
obliged to work, but l wish to save the
little competence that my husband left me,
so that can educate my family as l wish
to. | know that l and my little brood are
objects of considerable curiosity, but !
u you that l am as proud of them as
a mother can be-"
Mrs. Schwurtz left last night for Salt
Lake, and she and her children managed
to take two sections of the sleeper.
As the train rolled out a prominent
clergyman gazed after them and solemnly
said;
There is but one verse in the Scrip
lures which promises eternal salvation to
women
What is that, Doctor asked the
reporter.
The woman shall be saved in child
hearing
