dict and Its Side Issues.

He Gets His Share of a s12,0O0,o00 Yer
dict and Its Side Issues
DENVER, Col, Jan. 27.-[ Special. J.
Judge A. w. Rucker recovered judgment
in the District Court to-day against Harvey
Young, j. b. Wheeler, of New York, and
others, for sixth interest in the famous
Aspen mine at Aspen, Col, and a
sixth of the proceeds of that mine
since November, 1884 amounting to
over S12OO0,O0O. The decision was rem
dered by Judge Allen, and is sweepingly in
favor of Judge Rucker. On October 20,
1884, Rucker received from Harvey Young
an option for sixth interest in the Aspen
mine. The option was for SIS, 900, and upon
the payment of that sum by Rucker in 80
davs. Young was to deed to him the sixth
interest in question.
Rucker claims that on November 10, 1884,
and before his option expired, he rendered
Young $4,000 and demanded his deed,
which Young refused to make; that within
80 days Young decided the interest to j.
b. Wheeler; that Wheeler not only knew
of the existence of the option and of Ruck-
er's offer to perform and Young's refusal,
but it was through his influence that Young
failed to keep his contract. On the
other hand, the defendants claimed
that Rucl1er did not make the
tender; that he did not have the money;
that Wheeler at the time he purchased did
not know of the existence of the option.
and had notice of Rucker's offer to per-
form. This is the second trial on the merits
of the case.

Pleasures Of Memory.

What a blessed thing is memory!
How it brings up the pleasures of the
past, and hides its unpleasantnesses!
You recall your childhood days, do
you not, and wish they would return?
You remember the pleasant associa-
tions, while the unpleasant ones are
forgotten. Perhaps to your mind
comes the face Of some friend. 1t
was once pale, sad face. 1t showed
marks of pain, lines of care. 1t
seemed to be looking into the here
after, the unknown'future. And then
you recalled how it frightened, how
it recovered its rosy hue, how it be-
came picture of happiness and joy.
Do you remember these things?
Many people do, and gladly tell how
the health returned, how happiness
came back, how the world seemed
bright. They tell how they were once
weak, nerveless, perhaps in pain, GER
tainly unhappy. They tell of sleep
less nights, restless days, untouched
food, unstrung nerves. And then
they tell how they became happy,
healthy and strong once more. You
have heard it often in the past, have
you not? You have heard people
describe how they were cured and
kept in health2 You certainly can
remember what it is that has so helped
people in America. IF not, listen to
what Mrs. Annie Jenness Miller, who
is known universally as the great
dress reformer, says: "Six years
ago, when suffering from mental care
and overwork, I received the most
pronounced benefit from the use Of
that great medicine, Warmers Safe
Cure. All, now you remember.
Now you recall how many people you
have heard say this same thing. Now
you recollect how much you have
heard of this great Cure. Now you
are ready to admit that memory IS
usually pleasing, that the highest
pleasure comes from perfect health,
and that this great remedy has done
more to produce and prolong health
than any other discovery ever known
in the entire history Of the whole
world.

a CALUMNY ON BILLY FLORENCE.
The Suit of Miss Hall Believed to Be a
scheme to Seize Part OF His Estate.

The Suit Of Miss Hall Believed to Be a
scheme to seize Part OF His Estate.
NEW YORK, Jan. N.-CSpecia,. THE
story telegraphed from San Francisco that a
Miss Florence Hall intended to bring suit
to obtain q portion of the estate
left by the late William Florence on
the ground that she is natural
daughter of the dead actor, receives no Gre
dence among those persons in New York
who are familiar with Mr. Florence's char
acter. 1t is possible, say these intimates,
that there is such person as
Miss Florence Hall and that she
has announced her intention to
enter suit; but the claim that she is an ille-
gitimate daughter of William j. Florence
is generally regarded merely as part of a
carefully planned scheme to secure part of q
small estate that was earned by hard work.
"Conscientiousness was one of Floreuce's
characteristics, said warm personal
friend of his to-day, "and if this girl had
the shadow of right to call herself
his daughter he would have pro-
vided for her as far az his means
would allow. It is rather singular that
nearly two months should elapse after Mr..
Florence's death before this claim should
be made. No one ever heard of Miss Hall
during his lifetime, and she does not come
forward until after Billy is dead and cannot
defend himself"

One of the Things a Mans Mind Will Re-
tain APPLY Illustrated.
At downtown hotel a private game OF
poker night or so ago was in progress.
Those who composed the quintet of
players were three commercial men, a
theatrical manager and physician. The
play was quite 'stiff" at times, and it was
no common occurrence for the one holding
the winning hand to pull down pool worth
$50 or S100.
As the game wore on the tobacco smoke
became denser and the contents of black
bottle on the bureau diminished very much.
So had the chips of the theatrical man. The
physician had big luck, and stacked up be-
fore him were high towers of red, white and
blue checks as the evidence. The theatrical
man went broke, but with that spirit
he asked for . loan of $50 from his
medical friend. He got it cheerfully. The
play went on just as big and twice as nat
ural. The travelling men held their own
ends up, not risking much or making any
rash plays A rabbits foot must have
moved in the managers pocket, for every
thing he touched, like Midas, turned to
gold. 1t was the doctors turn to go broke.
He was down to o notch where only
measly white chip represented his capital.
He looked wistfully at his theatrical friends
pile, but said nothing.
The hands were dealt and the doctor
caught on. He hadn't enough to stay with
the "age" Leaning quietly over to his
friend whom he helped out an hour before,
he said, modestly:
".Wooly,' have you forgotten that $50 I
loaned you a while ago?"
NO." replied Woody "I haven't forgot
ten it. but had hoped you had"
Then he reimbursed the doctor.

Peculiar Csse Cnearih.d by the rolice
Authorities In Lnwrencevil,e.
a communication vas received yesterday
by Chief Elliot, OF the Department ei
Charities, from NJ. c.. Hughes, Of Thirt~
fourth and Butler streets, stating that ~.
old woman named Mrs Arthur Stansbury
was sick and dying for want of proper care
and attention. The woman was found IL a
rickety set of rooms in the rear of 3435 f:r;-
Ter street. The officers found her in most
deplorable plight. She was in precarious
condition and covered with vermin. The
house was without fire and tie woman
was suffering terribly from cold. Moth
ing could be found to indicate that
the woman had received Inedicai aid or had
sufficient to live on. She refused to be car
ried into the ambulance and lorce had to be
resorted to. She was taken to the City Poor
Farm.
The house was poorly furnished, and only
few pieces Of furniture wss in any of the
rooms In one room was about 16 boxes
and trunks. They were filled with old
fashioned things of all descriptions. The
contents were all of the finest and were old
family heitloons aid relics. Ch1naware,
dresses, silverware, hats, ETC., which had
Deen zoe pflGe Gi gay h0uSehold many
years sgo were found. Mrs. Stansbury
could be seen, during the summer months,
stro.ling along The streets, attired in the
finest of old STYLES. She presented an San
tique" appearance and excited considerable
interest among pedestrians. She wore long
curls down her back and her hat was usually
of 1776 pattern. Her husband died few
years ago at the age of 20 years. She has
now reached that age. Her husband was a
wealthy man at one time, which accounts
for the valuable contents of the boxes and
trunks. His father was Colonel in the
Revolutionary War. There are no relatives
living, and the old lady exhausted what lit
tie money she had when her husband died.
