SENATOR TABOR s ROMANCE.
From private letters from Denver l
learn that Senator Tabor is making money
right along and that he will soon be in
position to spend another fortune on pol
tiles His opera house brings him i'll !
over $50 200 year, and he is making ,
money hand over fist in buying and SELL
ing mines. The beautiful woman whom |
he brought to Washington US his second |
wife is now the mother of pretty child, |
and the two live in Denver. not far of |
from the rich Mrs. Tabor No. l. WASH |
iugton society was badly taken in by Ia
Dor. We are great sticklers here for
form, and would not think of doing any
thing out OF the conventional. Senator
Tabor came TO Washington as million
aire from Colorado. No one knew wheth-
er he was married or not, and he was
generally looked upon as bachelor or
q widower. Shortly after he took up his
quarters at willard s hotel he gave out
that he was about to be married. He
showed the correspondents some wonder
full night shirts, embroidered with old
lace, containing double breasted pock-
cts, and it Is my remembrance that some
of these cost $500 apiece. The day was
fixed tor the wedding. A dinner was got
ten ND which would have been fit for Luz
coils and a noted priest performed a
ceremony. The most noted of our states
men were present, and President Arthur
bowed i'll his most courtly way when ne
gave Il rose to the bride. All Washing

beauty, and the people kept on sounding
them until they learned the story CT the
marriage. Tabor had fallen in love with
! Mrs, Doe while he was yet the husband
| of Mrs. Tabor No. /. He had gotten
! divorce in q very questionable way, ana
| had been married i'll musty little law
| office at St. Louis to her several months
| before this second ceremony took place at
Washington. All Washington thought
| il was the first marriage. No one knew
anything of the divorce. Future devel-
opmeLts made it even worse than 1 have
stated, and Tabor was for the season a
curiosity at Washington.
THE TWO MRS. TABoRs.
1 don't think any more beautiful
woman than the second Mrs. Tabor has
ever appeared Ut Washington. l can see
her now as she sat in the senate gallery
one day watching her bluck- haired nus
band trot from one senator TO another
with an autograph album Us big as
Bible in his hand, getting their sigma
lures. She was dressed III black and she
had a pair of diamonds in her ears that
were worth fortune. They were great
solita!res and they sparkled under the
soft light of the senate chamber. These
diamonds, however, were no brighter
than her big black eyes, and there was
not q senator in the chamber below who
did not now aud then steal Chances ut
her. She has a warm, rich, dark COM
plexion. Her forehead is low, her
features regular and her form that OF
J the Venus de Melici. l saw even George
Fr!sbie Hoar stealing sly winks at her
and know that his blood jumped at u
uuicker pace through his veins as he
looked. She was, you know, at this
time, only about half Tabor's age ana
she had been married before. Still when
the wedding of Tabor was announced she
was spoken of in the papers as Miss ana
had reussumed her maiden name. she
was the daughter of merchant tailor
Mt Oshkosh aud she married young TEL
low named Doe and went with him to
Denver. Her first husband was drunken
fellow aud she got a divorce from him
after she had been in that city some
time. Tabor saw her while she was stu
Mrs. Doe and fell in love with her.
After the two divorces were gotten they
, were married, aud at the second mar
riaCe here Tabor gave bis bride neck

diamonds. The day after the wedding
he sent out cards which were bound II
silver three-quarters of an inch deep,
and shortly after this he blossomed oul
