A Very Rich Actress.

I saw on the street the other day that
marvellous little woman, Charlotte Crab
tree, known professionally as Lolita.
She is resting this season. Her per-
manent residence is at Lake Hopta-
cong and her home there is marvel
of elegance. She comes to town occa-
sionally to visit her friend, Mrs.
Doremus Lolita must be somewhere
near forty-eight years of age. She was
a bright little dramatic star in Cali
fornia before the war. Barring few
wrinkles about hereyes, which are only
revealed on close inspection, she looks
as fresh as she did twenty years ago.
She is Just as vivacious and fully
as magnetic. Lolita is not given
to Boosting about her wealth. She told
an intimate friend not long ago that
her fortune was not a penny less than
So, 500, 900. This makes her the richest
actress, undoubtedly, in the world. She
owns several apartment houses in this
city, the Park theater in Boston and
real estate in nearly every large city in
the country. Her mother, who man
ages all her affairs, is a woman of great
business sagacity. She has an eye
upon for bargain always. Lolita, who
is absolutely devoted to the old lady,
says that but for her great tact and
Judgment she would not to-day be
worth S., 600. 1t is not at all likely that
Lolita will do much more stage work,
though she says that her profits last
season were as great as they have
been of late years. In other words.
her drawing capacity is still good. Lolita
is domestic in her tastes. She cares
little for social life in gay sense. She
is attached to few friends She is re-
ligiously inclined. She is a bright con-
versationalist and she enjoys good
stories. Her favorite jewel is the tur-
quois. I saw her one night at a little
dinner given to Billy Florence in the st.
James hotel when she must have had
S1o,CCo worth Of these jewels on her
person. She gathers them from all
parts of the world. Lolita has had sew
raj narrow escapes from matrimony,
but there is little probability now that
she will ever enter the divine state.
The man whom she truly loved died
several years ago and her attachment
to her mother is such that she is not
likely to allow her affections to stray
again.

The principal causes of death in one
year in New York city were: Pneu-
monia, 5,S17; consumption, $3.50; diar-
rhmal diseases, 1856; Bright's disease,
1858; heart disease, {, 1857; violence, 1857;
bronchitis, 1884; diphtheria, 1853;
scarlet fever, 1921; influenza, 83S.

The remarkable statement is made
that there are 10000 suicides year in
the Austrian army. Either the EN-
peror's soldiers hold their lives very
cheap or there are two ciphers too many
in these figures.

More Pictures of DR.. Depew.

( 2
Another distinguished portrait paint
era foreigner, of course, OF. he would
not be distinguished as a painter of por-
traits among the 'ssmart set" from
whom his principal patronage comes
has produced fresh picture of the
much-painted DIR. Depew. The artist
has further claim to acceptance by
the ''smart set by his hyphenated
name, Muller-Ury. His picture is fairly
faithful, but it is not nearly so good as
the scarcely yet dry one painted by an
American artist, William E. Marshall,
who also is rapidly finishing now fine
engraving from his own picture. These
frequent portraits, apparently without
provocation or even particular purpose,
suggest that DIR. Depew, after all, is
mainly conspicuous as picturesque in
dividual Far be it from me or anyone
to say that the distinguished doctor is
not e1ninently useful, but as public
man he is mainly ornamental ALI
his performances, as an after-dlnner
speaker and in all the numerous pub
lie functions in which he SO cheerfully
and brilliantly oficiates, are really
series of attractive pictures. They at
tract, they please, and they are popu-
lar. But after all, a ecynic would say,
they are only successive shows, one
after another, of the much esteemed,
much advertised and much beloved DR..
Depew. And, by the way, the reelec-
ton of Mr.. Depew to a seventh term
presidency of the Union League club
last week attests the personal esteem
in which he is held. There was dis
position on the part of the younger ele-
ment of the club to drop him overheard,
but they could not even secure the
hearty cooperation of Mr. Cornelius
Bliss, whom they put up as their candi-
date for president. But his little fight
upon Chauncey will probably be ac-
cepted as hint to step aside next year.

The THREE BANK FAILURES.
Silver City and Deming Depositors Like
ly to Get Out Who1e-Alleg.d
Crookedness at Ration.

The national banking laws require tha,
banks shall hold Il reserve Of Is per cent
OF their deposits. When they fall below
this they have thirty days in which to
remedy the matter, and failing to do this
they are liable to be closed up by the
government comptroller. This seems to
have been the trouble with the G. H.
Dane banks at Silver City and Demlng.
lhere Is no charge of crookedness against
the bank officials; it was simply q run of
hard luck, the result Of a run that drew
out some $40, 900 in deposits some six
months ago. 1t will take time, but conf
dence is felt that depostors will be paid
in full.
There was rumor af1oat in Las Cruces
on Friday, and published in the Rio
Grande Republican, that John Brock
mans bank, the Silver City National, was
also in trouble, but this is believed in
financial circles here to be absolutely
without foundation. The Silver City En-
terprlse, of Friday, Gays:
There was not the slightest indication
OF run on the Silver City National bank.
Money was deposited and checked out in
the ordinary run OF business, but the de-
poelts exceeded the amount drawn by
several thousand dollars"
As for the failure of the private bank of
Marcy, Greer & McCarn at Ration,
it appears that some crooked work was
at the bottom of it. At any rate, the
owners left town the night before the
crash came. Mr.. Marcy has not yet been
located, although telegrams have been
sent to many points inquiring for his
whereabouts. Cashier McCarn, who was
arrested on Friday, is now at Las Vegas
in consultation with Assignee Springer.
The latter has given bonds in the sum of
$l50,O00. 1t will probably be ten days
before the full extent Of any of these
thee bank failures can be figured ont.

About Creeds CITY,

Creede, the new mineral wonder on the
edge OF the San Luis valley, is 229 miles
from Santa Fe via the D. & R. G. Its
distance from Pueblo is POI from Denver,
800 miles. The narrow gauge ticket
office here reports considerable business
between Santa Fe and the new camp, and
it is possible that round trip tickets from
this city to Creede and return will be
placed on sale shortly. The trip can be
made in day. Parties down from the
camp yesterday say, however, that it is
quite too early TO 60 there now. They
say that great deal Of sickness prevails
there; three drug stores are kept busy
and the Pullman sleepers on the side track
are more like hospitals than like sleeping
apartments, 80 numerous are the cases
of pneumonia. When city of 10000 to
$4,000 is built there, as it certainly will
be, Santa Fe will be the most convenient
point as sanitarium and doubtless a
great many of the inhabitants there will
spend portion OF the winter here.

PUEBLO, Colo, Feb. 8.-The necessity
for opening the line of the D. & R. G. to
Creede by way of La Veta was brought to
the attention of President Jeffery when
he was in the city yesterday, and be
agreed to take the matter up at once.
The distance from Pueblo to Creede by
way of La Veta is about sixty miles short
er than the line by way of Salida, and
while furnishing shorter line it will at
the same time bring all of the country as
far south as Alamosa into direct commu-

How to Suppress the Making and
Selling of Liquor.
From Pomeroys Advance Thought.

From Pomeroys Advance Thought.
To solve and solve forever the
liquor problem is to abolish the ele-
ment of profit from the misery-breed-
ing stuff. Therefore repeal all laws
taxing it's manufacture, sale or con-
sumption. Let any one, from red
nosed fiend to dirty chalk-faced
dago engaged freely and without
restraint in the work of making and
selling it. Let any and all thieves,
debauchers, plunderers, murderers,
saints and sinners, who are hellishly
disposed toward their fellow men,
enter into competition as to who
shall make the meanest and sell at
the lowest price. This will knock
it's making and sale out of the arena
of profit.
Follow this up by arresting every
one who sells liquor to minor, to a
person who is to any-observable de-
gree under the influence of liquor,
hold each seller OF, giiver7away of the
stuff responsible for all damage in
- 4 ~itI -.
flicted on any person or property by
any person who has bought liquor
of him or her, and hold such suppl
ers of liquors in prison till the dam
ages thus demanded by any victim

shall be determined by a jury of
temperance men and women, and by
the supplier paid to the victim or
sufferer, with an equal sum paid into
the town or city treasury to pay the
expense of the prosecution Of the
one who thus inflicted damage on
his fellow man.
Men, so called, engage in the
whisky business for the profit there
is in the same, as keepers of other
houses of prostitution thus engage.
Stop licensing the sale. Stop tax
ing the liquor, but tax the one
through whom comes injury to per-
son or property.

necessity for hell. Judging thefu-
ture by the past, we do not regard
these fiery resolutions and brilliant
speeches as anything but theological
wind let off in the interest of the plu-
to,cracy to divert attention from the
economic reforms demanded by the
people.
We are glad to be able to say that
we do not believe that this bombast
represents the real sentiment of the
majority of Methodist ministers Of
Kansas. In the church as in the
party it is the scheme which rises to
the surface. The men of large pro-
LESSONS and of little deeds, always
scheeming for themselves, force them
selves to the front in the city church
es and in public gatherings, but the
real brains, the real conscience, the
christianity of the churches resides
with the true servants of the Master
who, unseduced by thirst of popular
applause, pursue the legitimate du-
ties of their calling. Many of these
men, we believe majority in the
state, have already severed their re-
lations with a party that no longer
commands this respect. They know
thew cannot serve God and Mammsn
and are loyal to their sense of right.
Their sermons emphasize the father
hood of God and the brotherhood Of
man. They preach the acceptable
year of the Lord, the release of the
captives, justice, mercy and truth.
These are the teachers whom the
"common people hear gladly" be-
cause their words, their lives and
their votes correspond with the
teachings of Christ. We have the
most profound respect for the true
minister, the true christian, but the
snides and hypocrites, no matter
how high their egctism or salary,
are fit only to be Republicans.

rom The Alliance Tribune.

held a conference at Kansas City,
Kansas, and after a lively discussion
passed resolutions to the effect that
unless the Republicans put prohl-
bition plank in their platform they
will desert that party.
1t is somewhat surprising to us to
see these erudite divines become 80
much excited over such little mat
ter as few words in party plat
form. For several years the Repub-
licans have adopted a stereotyped
plank on that subject but it has never
been considered as anything but
figure Of speech 1t may have as
sisted these clerical gentlemen, while
asserting a lofty morality to remain
politically allied with the drunkards,
debauches, thieves and moral lepers
that constitute the leadership of that
party. No one in his right senses
ever dreams that that plank repre-
SCENTS the real sentiments of the party.
For the minister who breaches and
prays for prohibition and Harrison
we have a feeling nearly akin to con-
tempt, which is not lessened by add
ing the names of Morton, ingalls,,
Chandler. Blaine, Elkins, Clarkson,
Humphrey, Higgins, Burton, Botkin,
Perkins, and men of like character
who control the party. See! There
must be some mental or moral hyp-
notism in the idea Of prohibition
plank" that can enable these "teach-
ers Of morality" to fraternize with
such characters and to condemn the
political crimes of which they are
guilty. They see one-third Of the
incomes of their Pensioners stolen
by the tariff laws; they see an empire
of land which should be the homes
of the young people oftheir churches
transferred by Republican law to for
eign mobiles and capitalists; they see
one.half the wealth Of $4,000, 900
people stolen from the ones who pro-
duced it and given to 81 900 dudes
by the Republican contraction ofthe
currency; they see the government
itself become partner in the whls-
ky business by it's sub-treasury plan
and by special official efforts to ex-
tend the trade into foreign countries;
they see the whisky bill of the
United States reaching the astonish-
ing amount of 81 100000, 900 an
nually under the fostering care OF
the Republican party; they see the
millions of tramps and the millions
more of halffed, half.clothed women
and children in the land as the result
of the system built up by their party
and their votes, yet they condemn it
all, bless it all, pray fer it all, vote
fer it all and turn even their prayer
meetings into party ,caucuses and
